What Parents say about us

“I can’t tell you how great we feel Child’s Play NY is and has been for our son. His dedication to rehearsal and what the memorization does for his brain are invaluable for the kind of kid he is. Again, I believe that Child’s Play has been enormously beneficial and I’m grateful for the space you and your artist teachers provide for him.”

Bobby Cannavale

“Child’s Play introduces kids to the magic of theater– building confidence, a sense of community, and most importantly, just plain fun.”

Elizabeth Merriwether

“This is the best theater group for kids in NYC. Jocelyn and her team are knowledgeable and creative, and produce wonderful plays with children. They are also amazing at building community with the students—along with acting/theater skills. The students are very close and kind/supportive to each other, rejoicing in each other’s triumphs.”
