I have dealt with other companies and Kidz Theater took the time to really know my child and to not only develop her strength but to make her talent shine. I did not feel that it was just another company taking the money to have my child in the background. It didn't matter if it was a big or small part, the child is taught details of auditions and how to act professional through rehearsals of the show. I will recommend Kidz Theater to everyone.

Their students are playing leading roles on Broadway, Hollywood, National Tours & Regional productions, and usually come from NYC area performing arts schools. This is where you see the future Ben Platts before you can't get into their sold-out shows on Broadway (Ben Platt is a Kidz Theater alum). Also Caro Mollett (The Color Purple), Dexter Darden (Maze Runner, Joyful Noise, & Minutemen), Bridget Meghan Clark (Doubt, Fan Girl), & more. They are performing SMILE! right now. This show is rare. Written by legends Marvin Hamlisch (Chorus Line, Sting...) & Howard Ashman (Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid, Aladdin...) it is a satirical portrait that follows the intrigue and exploits onstage & behind-the-scenes as Santa Rosa, California plays host to the Young American Miss Pageant." Songs from the Hamlisch-Ashman score include "Disneyland," "Smile," "In Our Hands," "Very Best Week of Your Lives" and "Dear Mom." https://www.kidztheater.org/spring-mainstage May 17-26, 2019 at 7pm.

Our Christmas, the play I saw at this location, was terrific!! Buried beside a church in Washington…read moreHeights, this place housed a hidden theatrical treasure. The cast of the play was great. The actors really developed strong characters and embellished an already wonderful and hilarious storyline. The play offered a touching and funny insight into the Christmas traditions of four very different Latino friends. Also,the music was simple yet sufficient. The location was intimate with only 50 seats.The only drawback was the run-down theater space; there were sheets stapled or tacked to the walls, the walls were sloppily painted with both high gloss and flat paint, an old drop-ceiling was stained and falling down in parts. This distracted some from the overall experience. It could be worth fixing this, especially if there are plans to continue hosting such great plays. Also, two thumbs up for whoever decided to promote this show at a discount ticket site online. I learned about this from an email and came with friends. So worth it, I would see it again if I could!

Rollicking fun on an impromptu stage on the steps next to the big stone column thing in Hudson River Park near 89th and 90th streets and Riverside Dr. Imaginative use of bare-bones props and natural surroundings (and bed-sheets... you'll have to see for yourself!). Seriously though, bring a light picnic dinner, a blanket to sit on, some friends, and some cash for donations and you'll be in for a real treat. Make sure you get there a little early to get the best/closets seats along the steps, or it may get hard to hear. 5 stars for a great time Revisit? Certainly!

I've had the luck and pleasure of living near Riverside Park in the Upper West Side for a while…read morenow. One of the early treats I discovered the summer I moved in was the small outdoor productions run by Hudson Warehouse. Yes folks-free public theatre right under your nose. Because the plays are often hidden from view to both people on Riverside Drive and the park itself to some extent you may not even know about them, but do seek them out. Take a seat behind the soldiers monument on the large staircase and enjoy great classics that rely 95% on the actor as opposed to props, lighting and music. No this isn't Shakespeare in the Park, or even off off Broadway stuff, but it has its own charm. One of my favorites was the Importance of Being Earnest which was a real crowd pleaser a couple of years ago. However, even if the play isn't to your liking they rotate through at least three options over the course of the summer months. The actors have consistently surprised me in terms of quality and sometimes you get a real treat watching the performances. They're even so kind as to hand out a playbill before each production with background on each actor. The only issue I wish they'd work on is the audio-on a day with breeze and traffic it can be very hard to hear them. Especially some of the actors that don't have powerful voices. Not to mention some lines weren't intended to be shouted or emphasized so heavily. The setting can help support comedic aspects of the plays though for certain. In any case, my hats off to the wonderful people who put together these types of things for the public and work off of only small donations at the end. I recommend everyone in the area go at least once on a warm summer night-it sure beats just a walk in the park.
