We offer adult education courses on a semester basis and social events throughout the year. We host Art Class at our studio downtown. Basketball Group is held at an offsite facility on the Upper West Side; Movement Group and Chat & Chew are held on the Upper East Side.
Our Storytelling Group is a fun and creative meetup, comprised of theater games, singing/karaoke, and interactive activities such as balloon ping pong. The purpose of the group is primarily to share joy with like-minded individuals in a safe and supportive environment, while flexing your style, attitude, and voice skills with a focus on connecting and communicating. The group will work collaboratively on games and challenges within a new theme each semester. Group Leader Tony Canty and his crew will guide the group through the use of modeling, puppetry, props, and their own naturally encouraging and cooperative personalities. The results may surprise and astound us - and we can't wait to see where this goes.
The group meets on Mondays from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm on a semester basis. (There is an option to join on a drop-in basis.)
Summer 2025 Semester runs August 4th through August 25th.
