New Victory opens new worlds to kids and families through extraordinary performances, education and engagement programs
The New Victory dome restoration is completed! After 13,977 hours of work on the plaster, and a team of ten working around the clock for 57 days(!), this enormous project finished in time for us to open 360 ALLSTARS at the New Victory. View the beautiful results in this video.
Every year, New Victory provides more kids with more live performing arts in more grades than any other arts organization in New York City. Invite us into your classrooms, gather digital content, or schedule a field trip to the historic New Victory Theater to see theater, dance, music, circus, opera and puppetry from across the country and around the world.
The mission of the New Victory, making theater and performance part of kids' lives, is the best example I can think of, of the power of a simple idea.
