More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Arts for All serves in-need children who have little means or opportunity to explore the arts due to economic disadvantages, physical and mental disabilities, hospitalization, socialization issues, emotional trauma, or any other life challenge. This project will provide children with the opportunity to have a professional live show come directly to their school or youth organization. If enough funds are raised, we will also send children free drama workshops prior to the performance.

Activities

Arts for All will send out 10 live performances of "The Tall Tales of Enoch." At each performance we anticipate a minimum of 250 children. Youth will be given "study guides" to introduce the show and its themes prior to the performance.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $7,500

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

This show has valuable themes that will stay with children, such as being honest, sharing with others, and being proud of who you are. By exposing youth to the theater, we are creating better listeners and future theater audiences.

Our children's show, "The Tall Tales of Enoch" closed on November 17th after touring to over 2,500 in-need children in the 5 boroughs of New York! What a great success! It is because of your donations that this project was possible. I would like to share just a few quotes from children who attended "The Tall Tales of Enoch."
