Theater for Young Audiences

IRT’s Theater for Young Audiences program has a 23-year tradition of developing touring presentations that engage and challenge young spectators, bringing its work to over 20,000 students in the New York/Tri-State area and surrounding states. Currently, IRT is updating one of its classic shows, The Roots of Rap: Poetry, a performance for teaching literacy, poetry, history and culture, for tours in the coming year and beyond.
