New Victory Theater
Proscenium arch
The New Victory Theater is New York City’s first and only full-time performing arts theater for kids and their families and classmates. Since it opened in 1995, The New Victory has quickly become an integral part of the cultural landscape in New York City, presenting a 10-month season of adventurous multidisciplinary works from both around the globe and close to home.
The New Victory Theater seeks out sophisticated, thought-provoking professional productions that are as artistically rich as they are entertaining. From the very start, tickets to the public have been made affordable and now cost an average of $18, with seats available for as little as $9.
Intrinsic to the New Victory mission is that its performance season and education programs combine to create a unique artistic and learning experience that complements student development by using the performing arts as an educational resource. New Victory presentations inspire students of all ages to explore their imaginations and the world around them; many of these students experience their first ever, live performance in The New Victory Theater.
“Since its opening in 1995, The New Victory has radically altered the very way we think of children’s entertainment ... the New Vic’s essentially reclaimed kids from decades of saccharine, intellectually offensive offerings. This is theater – in the widest sense of the word – that’s challenging for all because it doesn’t talk down to anybody.”
Elisabeth Vincentelli, Sunday Arts, April 2008
