Pied Piper Actors Say

... the connection to a community and feeling of belonging I felt in this cast was nothing like I’ve ever felt before, at least never to such an extent. I loved each and every person there. The memories I made here will last a lifetime.

“One word that makes me think of
Pied Piper is… happiness.”

Grover, age 7

“I think it’s incredible that I have the luck of living in a neighborhood where they have a theatre and I can perform in it.”

Leo, age 10

“I’ve learned a lot from Pied Piper, not just as a performer but as a person. I don’t think I’d be the person I am
today without it .”

Tamara, age 15

Pied Piper Theatre and Broadway for Arts Education collaborated to offer a pay-what-you-can Summer Theater Intensive for local teens in August 2025.
