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

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.
