High 5 to the Arts! Midtown and around town

A Teen Social Theater Program called High 5 to the Arts was the brainchild of the Arts Connection. Their mission is simple. Bring liberal arts right to the teens of NYC for BEYOND a reasonable price. Music, Theater, Movies, Dance, and even some Museum Galleries are all available for you to purchase a ticket online for a mere $5 or $10. Say what? Tickets to Theater alone are ordinarily around 59 Bucks. What a Steal!

Now here’s the catch you need to be a middle or high schooler. If you have some sort of ID to prove that, then viola you are in. The beauty is that for every ticket a student purchases an adult is welcome to purchase an additional ticket to go with them at the same price.

By and large, High 5 to the Arts is the coolest Teen Social Theater program out there. When you’re ready, get your gang together. Then sign up and take advantage of all their amazing events. Be sure to check out their FAQ section to review the fine points. Click below to join in on the FUN!

New Victory Theater- Midtown

inclusivity and accessibility new victory theater

Inclusivity and Accessibility are big parts of the mission of the New Victory Theater. In order to facilitate that mission, NVT has taken profound steps to ensure Theater Shows are available to ALL families. For example, there are no stairs on the Orchestra Level explicitly providing accommodations for wheelchair-bound patrons. Furthermore, lifts are also in the building to get wheelchairs up to higher levels.

To emphasize their commitment to inclusivity and accessibility NVT offers a whole host of other accommodations. Particularly of interest might be their audio described devices. These unique devices provide necessary details in between the actions of the actors. Sometimes it’s easy to get distracted or confused and these are there to help you stay focused.

Chiefly, those on the autism spectrum can also enjoy sensory-friendly performances throughout the year. In addition, sign language interpretation is also available at certain shows. In any event, I would call and talk to them directly to find out any necessary details or ask any other questions you may have. You can call them at 646- 223-3010. As always be sure to give plenty of notice to the theater if you have any specific needs. Look behind the curtain below.
