OPEN DAYS
Join members of the Creative Stage Collective Youth Troupe and our professional adult artists for two hours of theater, movement, music, and imagination! Through playful games and creative activities, you’ll get a taste of how our multigenerational troupe makes original theater together.
Free to participate, and come as often as you like! There’s no limit to the number of Open Day Workshops you can attend.
This is a chance to explore, experiment, meet our troupe, and have fun making things together. While this isn’t an audition, young people who show a particular spark of interest, imagination, and enthusiasm may be invited to join our multigenerational performing troupe for upcoming productions.

PAST EVENTS
Joyful. Clever. Completely original. Summer Shebang is a 45-minute musical-sketch-comedy-esque romp inspired by the imaginative (and surprisingly insightful) ideas of children. Devised by our multigenerational troupe of improv actors and opera singers, this show is bursting with music, laughter, and imagination. These joyful pop-up performances are coming to seven Harlem and Upper Manhattan locations, ready to delight audiences of all ages!
MUSICAL MADLIBS
A one-of-a-kind interactive performance in collaboration with Concert Artists Guild, that blended live classical music, improvisational storytelling, and audience participation into a magical, playful experience for all ages.
Stunning performances by Ariel Horowitz (Concert Artists Guild Competition winner whose work has been heard at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center), Mitch Lyon (cellist and Teaching Artist Faculty member with the New York Philharmonic), and Carter Johnson (international prizewinning pianist and finalist in the 2025 Van Cliburn International Competition) ignited spontaneous, playful storytelling that unfolds in real time.
Cate Smit narrated the emerging story as performers from Creative Stage Collective's multigenerational troupe brought it to life.
A celebration of the power of imaginative ideas, audiences were invited to participate, imagine, and co-create—experiencing the thrill of storytelling and music coming together in unexpected and delightful ways.
