Organizational Profile
Founded in 2000 by an intrepid collection of artists, activists, and educators, Opening Act was created for a simple purpose: to use theater to give young people living in NYC something to look forward to after school. Committed to closing the arts education access gap in NYC, Opening Act centers the voices of students of color through free, high-quality theater programming.
Opening Act puts young artists and leaders center stage, using inclusive theater education at under-resourced public schools to set students up for success regardless of their ultimate career path, by developing confidence, fostering community, teaching collaboration, and inspiring creativity.
