TADA! inspires young people from different backgrounds to be creative, learn and think differently through high-quality musical theater productions and educational programs.
TADA! is a unique Drama Desk award-winning nonprofit youth theater that produces original musicals for children, teens, and family audiences. TADA! offers a free, year-round, pre-professional training and positive youth development program for the Resident Youth Ensemble (ages 8-18); musical theater classes/camps for the public; as well as musical theater residencies in NYC schools and community centers. Through TADA!’s high-quality work, young people’s self-confidence and creativity are enhanced, which develops advanced skills in leadership, communication, responsibility, collaboration, and problem-solving – skills that help with growing up and are essential to their success both in school and in life.
Many young people are inspired to pursue a career in the creative arts, and TADA!’s alumni include Academy Award winner Jordan Peele (now a member of the TADA! Board of Directors), Kerry Washington (Scandal), Josh Peck (Drake & Josh, Ice Age), and Mizuo Peck (Night at the Museum films).
