Our Mission

TADA! Youth Theater’s mission since 1984 has been to provide young people from different social, racial, economic, and cultural backgrounds with musical theater programs that inspire them to learn, be creative, and think differently through high-quality productions, positive youth development, and education programs.

FAQs homepage
Does my child need to audition to join a class?

Our children’s musical theater classes, and camps are open to everyone, no auditions required. We’re proud to provide a supportive, encouraging environment where creative kids of all experience levels can build skills, gain confidence, and shine.

Where exactly are classes held, and who is supervising?

Our youth musical theater programs are led by professional teaching artists and held in our rehearsal studios on the 3rd floor at 15 W. 28th St., New York, NY 10001. Located in NYC’s Flatiron/NoMad neighborhood near Chelsea — and convenient to Kips Bay and Midtown provide a safe environment where kids can have fun while developing performance skills.

My child has never done musical theater before — is this the right fit?

Yes! TADA!’s youth musical theater classes, week-long camps, and Broadway 1-Day camps are all perfect for your child to start their musical theater journey. Our inclusive program offers confidence-building acting, singing and dancing instruction for teens and kids of all ages.

What happens if my child has to miss a class?

Our teaching artists will keep your child on track. Each class includes group singing and dancing that builds as the semester progresses, so we ask that students miss no more than 2 classes per semester so they can shine at the final sharing.

What should my child wear and bring to the studio?

Students should bring a labeled reusable water bottle and wear comfortable clothes for movement (skirts/dresses with leggings or shorts). Shoes should be sneakers, dance shoes, or other closed-toed shoes—no sandals, flip-flops, or Crocs. Personal belongings can be stored in cubbies, and all snacks/food must remain outside the classroom.
