WELCOME HOME to Westchester's Theatre for Children and Teens.

PGT is proud to be the longest running non-profit educational theatre in Westchester! For three decades, The Play Group Theatre has provided a welcoming community for children and teenagers to share the highest quality arts experiences in a uniquely nurturing, yet creatively charged environment, and a destination for local families to see affordable and great theatre throughout the year.

With a sustained commitment to access to arts for all children, regardless of financial means, we have provided over one million dollars in need based scholarships in the last decade alone, and we offer two dedicated Sensory Friendly productions annually!


The Play Group Theatre (PGT) is located at 1 North Broadway (“NoBro”) - our beautiful state-of-the-art performing arts complex in the heart of downtown White Plains. We offer a wide range of programming and a full calendar of shows, all in our amazing theatre complex. There is something for everyone at PGT!

"This is my second time seeing the wonderful In Wonderland. I do want to tell you that the Spongebob production was the best "kids" production I have ever seen, and trust me I have experienced a plethora of shows. The tremendous amount of creativity, talent and hard work were amazing. Kudos to all involved." Deena Goldsmith, Audience


"Teaching kids to root for each other like that- to focus on self improvement while at the same time teaching them how they must hold each other up- that is a talent. To create a community where they are willing to put themselves out there- together- that is work to be proud of that must have positive ripple effects into the lives of countless people in their midst."

"A lot of my success in school can be traced back to things I learned at PGT: analyzing scripts and understanding characters, how to be articulate and confident, public speaking skills....Thank you for being so much more than a director..." Read full quote >>

Kudos again!!

His favorite part (last I asked) was in his last performance he glanced to the side and saw the cast dancing like crazy while he let loose on stage. You thought he would be hooked by the applause- I am sure he loved that too. Still, it seems the connections he made to the kids in the show surpass all the other fabulous gifts from this experience. Which leaves me once again feeling proud. It is so good to see him find the essential piece. So, kudos again to you. Teaching kids to root for each other like that- to focus on self improvement while at the same time teaching them how they must hold each other up- that is a talent. To create a community where they are willing to put themselves out there- together- that is work to be proud of that must have positive ripple effects into the lives of countless people in their midst.

Thank you

A lot of my success in school can be traced back to things I learned at PGT: analyzing scripts and understanding characters, how to be articulate and confident, public speaking skills....Thank you for being so much more than a director, for my love of theatre, for giving me a childhood and a place to grow up. Play Group Theatre has meant more to me than I can ever explain.
