Photo Flash: New Victory Theater Celebrates Family Benefit!

On Sunday, October 21, 2018, the New Victory Family Benefit transformed the historic New Victory Theater into a colorful land of food, fun and play inspired by the vibrant world of Tinga Tinga Tales - The Musical. Support from this benefit provides critical funds for the award-winning New Victory Education Programs. Every year, programs provide 40,000 school kids the opportunity to see live performances from around the world.

Proceeds from the New Victory Family Benefit support the theater's Give a Kid a Seat campaign, which provides NYC students tickets to New Victory school-time shows. Kids in Pre-K through 12th grade attend New Victory shows and participate in free classroom workshops, taught by New Victory Teaching Artists, before and after their visits to the theater. As a result of seeing shows and participating in arts-based activities, these kids are empowered to integrate the performing arts into their own lives and communities.
