New York City Children's Theater Announces Its 24th Season! 

NEW YORK - EntSun -- Through a year of challenges, the award-winning New York City Children's Theater (NYCCT) (https://nycchildrenstheater.org/) happily announces its 24th season to premiere, a mix of live digital productions as well as filmed performances of NYCCT productions. Highlights include a filmed production of our hit holiday show My First Nutcracker as well as an exclusive two-week stream of our award-winning and critically acclaimed musical, A Band of Angels, directed by Colman Domingo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colman_Domingo) and two new productions.

"This year has been incredibly challenging for New York City and the theater community at large. As the initial epicenter of the pandemic, many have said that it will take years for New York to recover," says Artistic Director and Founder Barbara Zinn Krieger. "However, true to the fabric of NYC itself, New York City Children's Theater, is resilient and committed to continuing to serve, educate, and entertain our children and families. This year we are excited to produce a completely virtual season, with shows for children of all ages, some developed and produced specifically for digital platforms. We will also make many of our education programs available virtually, especially for students in our most vulnerable populations. No matter how challenging the times may be, we will continue to be there for our community."
