Upcoming Show: Golly Gee Whiz
July 7 – August 2, 2018

In this loving tribute to the classic Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland film musicals of the 30s and 40s, the residents of Happyville band together with the help of Mickey and Judy to put on a great show and re-establish Happyville as the bustling town that it once was.

TADA! offers a free, year-round, pre-professional training and a positive youth development program for the Resident Youth Ensemble (ages 8-18); musical theater classes/camps for the public; as well as musical theater residencies in NYC schools and community centers. Through TADA!’s high-quality work, young people’s self-confidence and creativity are enhanced, which develops advanced skills in leadership, communication, responsibility, collaboration, and problem-solving – skills that help with growing up and are essential to their success both in school and in life.
