The proceeds of the gala benefit New York City Public School students participating in the largest arts-in-education programs serving New York City Public School students.
Rosie’s Theater Kids is one of the only organizations that provide all of its core services free of charge to the students and the schools.
“RTKids inspires and motivates children by providing them with a lifelong appreciation of the arts,” said distinguished guest Dr. Richard Firshein. “This, to children who might never have the experience or exposure and also by providing instruction in the arts of theater, music, and dance.”
