Roundabout Theatre Company, Inc.
Purpose Of Funds
We reach into our community through our education program, which affects more than 6,000 students and 280 teachers throughout the public high school system in New York City (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School, High School of Art and Design, Repertory High School, High School of Fashion Industries, Manhattan Bridges High School, and Harvey Milk High School). Whether through our school-wide partnerships or Page to Stage, our goal is to instill the skills and abilities in our students that will help them succeed throughout their lives. By integrating theatre into their classroom activities, they develop learning comprehension, creative thinking, problem-solving skills and teamwork. Our work with students recently expanded to include an after-school program called Voices—a program that brings together at-risk students from our partner schools to form a student theatre company. As a result, they write, stage and produce theatre which culminates in public performances in our Black Box Theatre.
