Review for Theatreworks USA Corp., New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was a staff member almost two decades ago and now regularly bring my children to see the work of Theatreworks/USA.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

My kids and I love their work. When you see a Theatreworks production, you know it's going to be top notch.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

The people who work behind the scenes are at the top of their field. They love what they do and it shows.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Have a more regular presence in New York City. Perhaps provide even more children, who can't afford a theater ticket, the opportunity to see a show.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About once a year

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Former staff & Theatreworks gave me my first job in arts administration.
 

Review for Stuttering Association For The Young Inc, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I love Our Time Theatre Company and the important work they're doing with kids who stutter. With only a tiny staff of three, this company has made a huge impact in the lives of dozens of children who feel marginalized by their crippling vocal disability. The kids don't just go to watch arts performances, they create their own art and find new, exciting ways of expressing themselves. To hear one of these kids talk about how transformative their experience has been, is to be transformed yourself. Working with the staff has been nothing but a pleasure. They're caring, smart professionals and all of the company's activities are entirely mission-based; totally focused on the kids and their needs. I can't say enough good things about this group.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Enthusiastic, creative and kind.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Serve more kids. What could be more important?

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2010

Role:  Volunteer & helped them with their fundraising efforts.
