IlluminArt’s mission of “empowerment through the arts” shines through in the amazing shows presented in our Theatre for Young Audience season. The season consists of a free Library Tour, a sit-down show at a particular theatre on Staten Island, and a Summer Touring Company. Both sit-down shows include one ASL-interpreted show and a specific day designated as “sensory-friendly.” The Library tour takes place during the fall and visits at least 4 locations in Staten Island, featuring a short play. The Summer Touring Company visits Catapult Learning campsites in all five boroughs, bringing joy to campers of all ages. These shows truly inspire and uplift those who attend, leaving a lasting impact on their lives.
