Tour Tri-State Area Schools in 2018
Random Farms Kids’ Theater is seeking performers entering grades 5-9 in the fall of 2018 for its production of the anti-bullying musical The New Kid. The show is a 55-minute musical about a group of students dealing with peer pressure, hazing, bullying, and the importance of staying true to oneself. Auditions will be held at Random Farms Kids’ Theater (
77 Executive Blvd, Elmsford, NY 10523) on June 11th and 12th at 5:30-8:00pm. The cast will travel to local elementary and middle schools in the fall of 2018. This a FREE program to all participants. Auditions can be scheduled at
www.randomfarms.com/auditions.
The goal of this program is to create an awareness about the dangers of bullying in a way that's accessible to elementary and middle school students, says Anya Wallach, Random Farms Executive Director and Founder. Having kids perform for kids is tremendously advantageous because the audience can connect to the performers.
The core themes of The New Kid are meant to help younger students identify and address issues of character development that will give them the strength later in life to deal with personal differences - no matter what they are.
The key is to start educating kids before they get to high school, so they arrive armed with the tools to deal with bullying in any form, Wallach explains.
The New Kid was written for audiences in grades 2-6 and has been performed at over 100 area schools and has reached over 30,000 students. Each performance includes a post-show Q&A with students, teachers, and the cast. Schools interested in booking the show can contact Managing Director, Patrycja Warda, at
