The Chickenshed Players program offered by Chickenshed NYC is a distinctive performing arts educational program that aims to celebrate individuality and foster an inclusive community. The program focuses on discovering and developing the artistic talents of young people while nurturing essential life skills. The participants are guided by a dedicated team of theatre practitioners who encourage them to explore their creativity, passions, and lived experiences through the powerful medium of theatre. The program is conducted through specialized workshops that incorporate various elements of science. It invites guest artists and experts to collaborate with the participants during the pre-production process, promoting cross-disciplinary exploration and demonstrating the synergies between the arts and sciences. This program is unique in its approach as each production, whether scripted or devised by the participants themselves, embodies the transformative power of the arts. The Chickenshed Players program accommodates different age groups, with workshops available on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The program is divided into two semesters, and it culminates in two mainstage productions each year, with one being scripted and the other devised by the participants themselves. These productions also feature elements of science, further enhancing the learning experience. The program does not require auditions and offers payment plans and financial aid options. Chickenshed NYC provides a supportive and welcoming environment where diversity is embraced, and kindness and community are the guiding principles. The program not only develops artistic skills but also cultivates teamwork, confidence, and social awareness. Participants are empowered to contribute positively in other areas of their lives, demonstrating the lasting impact of the Chickenshed Players program.
