Review for New 42, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

For the past ten years our school has been a member of The New Victory Theater. We have had an excellent working relationship with the teaching artists, and the administrative staff. We are all thrilled about being given the opportunity to expose our students to such a wide variety of genres of entertainment. The fact that the performers come from all over the world makes it especially relevant in a diverse city like the one we live in.

Role:  Advisor & We have brought our students to a variety of shows, most of them have never seen a show on Broadway.
