Did you know there is a theater right in the heart of Times Square that is entirely devoted to kids and families? The New Victory Theater—located on 42nd Street—offers extraordinary shows at affordable prices. New Victory Teaching Artists also lead hands-on creative exercises that put you and your kids on stage! Play “TXT Marks the Spot”—a text-based scavenger hunt. All you need is a phone that can send and receive text messages and you’ll get clues that lead you to fun information!
