Welcome to Child’s Play NY

The strength of our teachers is the strength of Child’s Play NY. These are truly working actors with a deep commitment to working with young people. They are passionate, intelligent, goofy, creative and compassionate. You can feel great about entrusting a part of your child’s artistic education to them.
