Theatre of Youth has always been dedicated to providing enriching experiences for the youth of WNY. While our plays are certainly entertaining, we pride ourselves on performing shows that have underlying themes and messages that are important for all children. Whether it be highlighting the impact of bullying; demonstrating empathy, awareness, and sharing; questioning ethical dilemmas like plagiarism; or dealing as we will this year with acceptance, diversity, and self-identity; Theatre of Youth provides a safe, responsible, alternative space to explore and practice the fundamental tools of Common Core. Not only that, we all don’t even realize the great things we are learning because we are having so much fun while we do it!
Theatre of Youth is a proud partner of the Erie 1 BOCES Arts in Education and Exploratory Enrichment programs. For more information visit https://artsined.e1b.org/
