NYC Reaching Skyward
CELEBRATING THE HISTORY, ARCHITECTURE, AND ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT OF NYC!
New York City isn’t just a place—it’s an idea, a challenge, a dream that millions have worked to build. NYC Reaching Skyward is a performance series that takes kids on an interactive journey through the city's rich history, groundbreaking architecture, and stories of innovation.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Using state-of-the-art media screens and projection, participants will construct a metaphorical skyscraper, where each level represents a summit and serves as a resting point for the next challenge. Through dynamic visuals and engaging challenges, they will lay the foundation, rise to new heights, unveil their creation, and continue to strengthen and support their structure. This immersive approach transforms learning into an interactive, theatrical adventure.
Infused with hip-hop beats, savvy pop culture references, STEM-based problem-solving, and hilarious improv-driven moments, NYC Reaching Skyward channels the vibrancy of the city itself. It’s fast-paced, high-energy, and deeply engaging—designed to excite, inspire, and empower kids to take on challenges in their own lives. At its core, this series ties into our larger Rise to the Challenge theme, helping kids push past participation trophies and embrace the thrill of overcoming obstacles. They’ll experience both individual achievements and the power of teamwork, learning that success isn’t just about reaching the top—it’s about the journey, the effort, and the resilience it takes to get there.
