See what we’re doing.
Standing in Solidarity
As an organization devoted to making extraordinary performing arts a vital part of everyone’s lives from the earliest years onward, we specifically acknowledge our responsibility to give young Black people the opportunity to see themselves and their experiences reflected on stage and to feel a sense of true belonging in our theaters. Our past efforts, though well meaning, have not been enough.
New Victory Arts Break
Designed for every kind of teacher (parents included!) and available for free online, New Victory Arts Break encourages kids to try new skills, discover new cultures and share their stories through the performing arts.
New Victory Education
