92NY | There’s Something for Everyone!

Formerly known as the 92nd Street Y,  92NY is a world-class cultural and community center where people worldwide connect through culture, arts, entertainment, and conversation. For 150 years, they have harnessed the power of arts and ideas to enrich, enlighten, and change lives.

92NY offers programs for children and families year round. For those whose families are growing, they offer classes for expectant and new parents, caregivers, and toddlers through the Lipshultz Parenting Center. For those with children two and a half to five years old, 92NY offers an exceptional preschool program. And for children in kindergarten up to fifth grade, they have after school enrichment and care.

92NY has a long history of supporting and fostering the arts. For budding artists of all ages, the Gilda and Henry Block School of the Arts encompasses the School of Music, the Harkness Dance Center, and the Art Center (which includes the Ceramics Center, the Jewelry Center, and Fine Art & Design).

And for those looking to embrace the joy of movement, swimming classes and teams are available for all ages and levels. Various sports clinics and leagues are also available for ages four to eighteen.

Because 92NY believes that the arts are a right, not a privilege, they have created the School Engagement in the Arts program. The program provides arts education programs for K-12 students and their teachers across New York City — and nationwide via online offerings. Through the programs, students interact with 92NY mainstage talent, learn from expert teaching artists, and have access to professional internships.

92NY generously welcomes everyone to take advantage of these programs regardless of financial circumstances. Needs-based scholarships for 92NY programs are available on a case-by-case basis. You can donate here if you would like to support the amazing work done at 92NY.

We would be remiss if we did not mention 92NY’s Recanati-Kaplan Talks. These talks are New York’s premier forum for the most compelling thinkers of our time, the most thrilling entertainers in the country, and the most influential policymakers in our society.

This spring, on Monday, April 15, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin will discuss her book, “An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s,” with David Rubenstein. The book is a personal and candid look at a decade pivotal in our nation’s history through the collection of letters to her and her husband from John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and Lyndon Johnson.

With so much to do, there is no other place like the 92NY. Broadway Stages encourages you to check it out for yourself. And when you do, tell them Broadway Stages sent you!
