Finding joy and creative expression through puppetry

“A CO/LAB classroom is full of joy. Always. No matter what your background, no matter what your experience with theater, you are welcome and included and celebrated in a CO/LAB classroom.”

CO/LAB Theater Group’s joyful classrooms are filled with people seeking and finding social connection and creative outlets through theater arts. The New York City nonprofit serves people with developmental disabilities, including those who may have aged out of similar programming elsewhere, helping them access “Creative Opportunities without Limits And Boundaries.”

Watch the group collaborate and find their own artistic voices on the journey from the first classes to their final performance

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) supported the organization in expanding its CO/LAB: core offerings, all of which are available to participants at low or no cost, to include an additional weekly class focused on puppetry. Watch the group collaborate and find their own artistic voices on the journey from the first classes to their final performance.
