Since 1995, The Actors Theatre Workshop (ATW) has been providing New York City homeless children with a unique and life-changing experience through our 12-week after school theatre and education program, The Builders of the New World (BNW). Our children’s classes and holiday parties on Tues, Dec. 10 and Wed, Dec. 11 will kick off our 25th landmark season of BNW and give the children the opportunity to enjoy a hot, nutritious meal, experience an illuminating drama class, and receive a holiday gift selected especially for them.

Volunteers with writing, outreach, production, fundraising, administration, event planning, and video skills can join our diverse, talented team to help organize and raise awareness for ATW and this wonderful program. Volunteering is flexible with your schedule.

On the day of the children’s classes, volunteer teams will have the opportunity to set-up the theatre, serve the holiday meals, share a family-style meal with the children, assist in the creative class, pass out holiday gifts and much, much more!

Learn more about our non-profit theatre and programs, and be interviewed at one of the six Information Sessions we are hosting this fall.

You are invited to attend the At the Table reading of Departing Seniors written by Jose Nateras.

WHEN:  Tuesday, October 29, 6:30 p.m.

WHERE: Kaufherr Center at 1 E. Erie, Suite 660.

Departing Seniors, is a darkly comedic, high school horror movie with a gay, Mexican-American central protagonist. The film was written in the vein of movies such as Wes Craven’s Scream and Blumhouse Production’s Happy Death Day.

When an act of bullying sends a witty high school senior to the hospital, he wakes up having psychic visions that reveal the horrifying truth behind a rash of supposed suicides at his school, leaving it up to him and his sarcastic best friend to unmask a serial killer, who’s targeting departing seniors, before it’s too late.  

This is an unpaid table read presented to a live audience.

This event is only open to paid-up SAG-AFTRA members in good standing — no guests are allowed. Parents/guardians of performers under 18 years old are welcome. SAG-AFTRA members, please bring your membership card or digital card from the app (paid through October 31, 2019) for admittance.
