To our beloved Theatre Arts Partners,Teaching Artists and Students,
We are heartbroken about missing our spring theatre arts classes with you.
During this difficult time, we hope that you will come to understand the profound courage, love and strength that you possess... to carry you and others through.
When we return to our new normal, let us shine a light on the importance of the Arts in our daily lives. Theatre in particular is a divine way to share our collective stories, our empathy, to express our delight or pain and to connect deeply with one another as we create a piece of art together.
At Rising City Arts, we will fight to keep Theatre Arts in Education alive in NYC and the Lower Hudson Valley.
Meanwhile, stay healthy New York.
Sending Love,
Dina Comolli and The Rising City Arts Team

Sending heaps and loads of gratitude for 4 fantastically funny weeks at the Greenwood Lake Library with these fine Improvisers (all not pictured). During each Comedy Improvisation Class, your willingness to be silly, to focus and say "Yes, and" was admirable. I had so much fun with you and I am eager to play again this Fall!!
And three cheers to Mary at The GL Library for sticking with me and for being so kind.

I was so fortunate to collaborate as Teaching Artist with Ms. Barry and this incredible group of Epiphany 6th Graders this year! They reminded me that working hard, collaborating well and dedication oneself to the good of the creative project makes for an engaging theatrical experience. You blew me away with you kindness and talents. Thank you all for your beautifully moving scenes from "The Diary of Anne Frank".
