PLAY in a Day

If you’re looking for a great way to keep your child creative, connected, and immersed in play over school breaks and holidays, PLAY in a day is the place to be. Brooklyn Acting Lab offers programming at our studio located at 56 Windsor Place @ 8th Avenue and 1012 8th Avenue . We can also customize a PLAY In a Day for your POD!

Daily changing themes shape the stories we share, the games we play, and the music that is woven into each day’s play!

When schools are closed, Brooklyn Acting Lab is OPEN for immersive drama and theatrical PLAY!
