Theater is an important part of Manhattan Youth’s SONYC After-School Program, which serves 6000 students in 26 middle schools throughout New York City. SONYC programs are funded by the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) as part of the Comprehensive After-School System of NYC. In 2014, Mayor De Blasio expanded DYCD funding for the SONYC program to ensure that every middle school student in NYC has access to enriching programs after school, including sports, arts, literacy, STEM and leadership development.
