Our Mission
Child interactive with Flying Leap artist during performance of The Garden
Flying Leap Productions creates immersive, site-specific theater for young audiences and families in New York City and beyond. We make thoughtful, participatory performances around complicated or difficult subject matter for families to experience together. Our work takes place outside traditional theater spaces—in parks, community centers, and public spaces—created in direct collaboration with our artists and audiences. With a core emphasis on accessibility and joy, our performances offer a foundation for discussion between children and their families.
Our Vision
We aim to empower families to leap across perceived boundaries together and towards each other, into a more liberated world where kids have the agency to ask challenging questions and take action, and adults have the tools to navigate tough topics alongside them.
Our Impact
Founded in 2021, Flying Leap has produced immersive theater experiences across the United States and internationally. Our children's theater productions and family theater experiences have built partnerships with the New Victory Theater, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and major arts funders, all while maintaining our commitment to community-based practice.
Our work demonstrates that theater for young audiences can be both artistically ambitious and deeply accessible, creating space for families to engage with the full complexity of contemporary life through innovative, site-specific performances.
