Review: Mischief at the New Victory Theater

Yesterday my daughter and I had the pleasure of seeing the New Victory's performance of Mischief, their latest production for kids that derives from the UK. It was one of those incredible theatrical experiences, a WOW moment when I realize how lucky I am to not only live near NYC, but how lucky my daughter is to experience the kind of programming that's at our doorstep. The show is as innovative it gets. I love watching her expressions when she's watching a show of this caliber - in this case, it was one of amazement, awe and delight. This show is Read More

Guest Post: Checking in with Education at The New Victory Theater

Posted by The Culture Mom 5 Comments

Whether or not they know it, five year olds are not strangers to the art form of dance. They constantly move, play and explore the ways their bodies can travel in space. But how can you challenge a child to express feeling through dance and make artistic decisions in choreographing movement? The answer may lie in colorful pipe cleaners. This past Monday, armed with a bundle of colorful pipe cleaners (or “fuzzy sticks,” as they are referred to in most classrooms), I set out for PS 111 in midtown to lead a pre-show, in-classroom workshop for the Read More

Posted by The Culture Mom Leave a Comment

“In our world, frogs and penguins are not too different from humans -- they too go through crazy things in a kooky world,” according to Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad of Portland, Oregon’s Imago Theatre. “Penguins battle for musical chairs as if it’s the most important thing in their life - and for that time, it is,” Jerry said. As the creative team behind ZooZoo, a show where larger-than-life animals take on human scenarios, Carol and Jerry use their 30 years of creating extraordinary masks and theatrical illusions to dramatize this concept – Read More

KidCulture: An Enchanted Pig at the New Victory Theater and the Cupcake Cafe

Posted by The Culture Mom Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, a culture loving chick (me!) won a contest on NYCityMama.com (@NYCityMama) for two tickets to see The Enchanted Pig at the New Victory Theater in Manhattan. No, seriously, The Enchanted Pig is a fairytale (hence the opening) and I really did win tickets to take my daughter to see this today. When I won, I was truly elated as I've been dying to take my daughter to one of their many international productions. I planned the day carefully so we could make the most of our day out. First, we had lunch at one of my old Read More
