At Chickenshed NYC Everyone is Welcome...
We believe that creative activities, self-expression and performance should be available to anyone who has the desire, no matter their background or circumstances.
Our Values
Not only does each child have a voice, but it’s loud and clear that each Chickenshed player belongs
Chickenshed see each child for who they are. They walk in happy and leave happier - something very special.
Chickenshed has allowed our daughter to gain more confidence in everything she does. Above all, it allows her to be herself! The happiness is contagious amongst the students and truly highlights what every student’s strengths are.
Our son has taught the entire 4th grade at his school the sign language he knows for Don't stop Believin' and they are performing it at his choral concert in a few weeks. Thats all thanks to Chickenshed! Very cool.
No stage fright at all. Louis being part of Chickenshed has made him so confident.
Yesterday’s performance was outstanding! Chickenshed is the first group that we have been able to bring into school since the onset of the pandemic and we were blown away! What a perfect, age-appropriate, fun-filled morning with wonderful messages for young people! Our students loved the show, our teachers thought it was fabulous AND, the person who underwrote the performance just gave us the go-ahead to book 2 more! Thank you so much for sharing Chickenshed and bringing so much joy and energy to us on a Monday morning.
Working at Chickenshed brings so much joy to Michael, who thrives off of being part of a warm, exciting, and accepting community. Michael takes so much joy in being able to contribute to the beautiful work that Chickenshed creates with a diverse group of children. Michael takes great pride in seeing the impact he makes in the lives of others, as he also grows as a professional. We are so grateful to partner with Chickenshed, but most importantly Michael is at a workplace where he feels deeply happy and valued.
Congrats on yet another incredible show. I continue to be in awe of your work and the gift you continue to give to every single member of the Chickenshed community. How lucky that my daughter and our family has been welcomed into your family.
Thank you for believing in my daughter and giving her the opportunity to be a part of Chickenshed. You have such a terrific organization that really impacts the lives of children. It’s a wonderful, supportive community and I’m proud to be a part of it.
