What’s New at New 42 – December 2025

Last week, hundreds of members of the New Victory community came together to celebrate our beloved theater’s 30th birthday with us—our singularly-dedicated current and former staff, our remarkable Youth Corps and Alumni, our most loyal audience members, our extraordinary artist and Teaching Artists, our incomparable board and our generous donors.

Actor, comedian, writer, producer, and former New 42 intern Billy Eichner made two heartfelt requests from the stage:

  1. Bring a kid in your life to the theater. We have lots of great shows to see in 2026 and we’d love to see you there.
  2. Make a donation in support of the programs that make New Victory such a special place. Making a charitable contribution by December 31 will maximize your impact* and help us share more New Victory magic for the next 30 years. 

I’m very grateful to be part of this 30-year-old community that welcomes New York’s kids and families into a place of creativity and immeasurable joy. 

Thank you all for making it so.

All the best,
