Your story. On stage.
In Midtown NYC
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Located in the heart of our theatre-crazed city, Chain Links is a performance-based enrichment program dedicated to telling stories by young people for all to enjoy. Our after school classes not only teach performance skills, but also seek to unlock our students' creativity by allowing them the space to author their own stories for the stage. You won’t see Mary Poppins or Peter Pan, and almost certainly no princesses will be asked to kiss any frogs during our end-of-term performances. These will be 100% original student-generated works, made under the guidance of our talented teaching artist. Our kids are the most creative people we know—now they have a stage to tell their stories!
