Child's Play NY: Create your own online theater camp

Child's Play NY offers a variety of theater classes for playful children but has now transitioned to provide online classes to continue inspiring children's imaginations. Child's Play NY hosts various theater classes for kids in NYC. They began offering online classes during the pandemic and now offer families the opportunity to create their own online classes with a group of friends. The teaching staff work hard to stimulate the imagination of each kid and foster their creativity. Child's Play NY was founded by Jocelyn Greene to inspire courage and creativity in kids, all while having fun. Parents can sign their student up for the program/class they are interested in. The classes are held online and conducted through video calls, where students join the meetings led by the instructors. Some parents really appreciate how the staff works hard to include all of the children in the class, even the shyest ones. Many parents have seen their kid's acting and singing capabilities improve tremendously. Child's Play NY isn't suited for children who don't like to sing and act or aren't comfortable in front of an audience.

Grades: PK-12th grade

Cost: A week of camp is $200 while a single day camp is $50.
