Winter 2025
Want to try a class for free? We offer free trial classes at the beginning of each semester. All trial classes are 45 minutes long. Our next trial classes will be in January 2025.
Play On! Studios offers after school programming in theater and music. Our classes meet once a week - the perfect solution for busy NYC kids! We keep our class sizes small so kids get the personal attention and non-competitive environment they need to do their best. All of our incredible teaching artists are also professional actors and musicians, creating a fun environment with a serious edge.
Classes take place in person at 263 West 86th Street, between Broadway and West End Ave.
