Plan Your Visit

Every New Victory ticket unlocks new adventure.

The stories on stage will transport you across the globe and invite you to consider questions of identity, home and what it means to belong—but watching the show is just one part of your family’s visit. A trip to the New Victory is an experience custom made for kids!

Unleash your imagination with free pre-show activities (accessed from your devices and in the lobbies) and feel at home with our amenities. Post-show, stick around a bit for an extra photo op and then find a meal around the neighborhood. The magic of theater starts here….

We always get to the theater early to take advantage of the pre-show activities.

Ahead of every performance, New Victory Teaching Artists and New 42 Youth Corps members guide your family in free, interactive arts activities.

  • We create original activities for each production that set the scene for the story on stage and connect you to the art form.
    Get started on the family-friendly fun early with a New Victory Arts Break, available online anytime. These do-try-this-at-home activities invite you to flex your creativity and stretch your imagination.

  • Once it’s showtime, aim to arrive with time to head downstairs for in-person engagement. These hands-on games and art-making typically take around 20 minutes and can get crowded as curtain time approaches. Doors open 45 minutes ahead of time—plan your arrival accordingly!

  • Activities are available post-show too! Whether you didn’t have enough time pre-show or just want another go, the self-guided lobby activities remain open 20 minutes after the performance. And don’t forget to return to the Arts Break for perfect post-show prompts.
