Scheduled for May 7th, 2024, "Outside In"
marks the kickoff of a $50 million capital campaign for The Child
Center of NY’s inventive Innovation Center. "Outside In" is
not just a play; it's an interactive journey into the challenges
faced by Maya, an 18-year-old navigating modern-day New York City.
Combining scripted performance with improvisation, this "Sleep No
More"-type experience invites audiences to participate actively,
providing a unique perspective on mental wellness. The event will
take place at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, where three
showings will be held over one night at 5:00 PM, 6:30 PM and 8:00
PM. An opening night reception and red carpet with celebrity
guests, influencers, and VIPs will occur throughout the
evening.
Traci Donnelly, CEO of The Child Center of NY, emphasizes the
event's significance: "As we honor National Children's Mental
Health Awareness Month, 'Outside In' catalyzes the launch of
our Community Innovation Lab. It's an invitation to explore the
healing potential of art and play therapy and support children's
mental health."
Surina Jindal, Executive Producer of "Outside
In," speaks to the production's transformative power:
"'Outside In' is a journey designed to provoke lasting
change. It invites our community to embrace the healing power of
art and play therapy."
Dr. Deep Penesetti, Chief Innovation & Medical Officer of
The Child Center of NY and Founder of SoulHouse, echoes this
sentiment: "'Outside In' is not just entertainment; it's the
start of a mental health movement. It offers insight into the
challenges of the digital age and provides a modern approach to
play therapy."
In addition to attending the event, supporters can contribute to
the mental wellness movement by donating online or participating in
future "Outside In" Pop-Up Plays.
