KIDS OF THE ARTS (KOTA) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization based in New York City. KOTA is dedicated to creating innovative entertainment for audiences of all ages. Founded by then eleven-year old, Laura Luc, the company strives to inspire young people to follow their passion and make a positive impact on the world.

Every year, KOTA donates to charities locally and throughout the world. KOTA has trained and worked with performers from over 50 Broadway productions & National Tours, as well as actors starring in feature films and television shows. Our performers continue to thrive in the industry, with KOTA’s professional training, performance opportunities, and encouragement to guide them on their way to success.

A note from KOTA's Founder & Artistic Director, Laura Luc:

During the Covid-19 pandemic, so much of the entertainment industry has closed its doors world-wide. Since March 2020, KOTA has offered virtual productions and workshops with hundred of young actors in order for them to continue their training, connect with theatre friends, and do what they love the most — perform!

These productions and workshops also allow KOTA to employ adult artists as actors, special guests and instructors. Together, we will keep the arts thriving and help the industry bounce back.

Thank you for supporting our small business! Stay safe, and don’t forget - “The sun’ll come out tomorrow”.
