Tickets to Showstoppers!

Showstoppers! is located at 234 West 42nd Street. Formerly the home of Modell’s, world-renown design firm, Thinc Design, has transformed the Times Square space into an immersive maze featuring more than 100 of the industry’s most beautiful and complex garments. As guests make their way through the exhibit, they will get to see up close the detail and craftsmanship typically only seen far away on stage or screen. Costume makers and experts will be on-site demonstrating their techniques and skills and interacting with guests, and multimedia elements will provide a rare opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the process. This one-of-a-kind, immersive exhibition can only be seen in New York City’s vital Theatre District. All proceeds from the exhibition will raise money for the Costume Industry Coalition Recovery Fund, which continues to support one of the hardest hit sectors of the entertainment industry.

Tickets are $28 for students and $33 for the general public — Visit the Web site and use the code NYCARTS for a discount!

Discounted Internet

All New York City families with a student enrolled in a DOE school or program are eligible for a discount of up to $50/month for broadband service, equipment, and device rentals as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of $10 – $50), where available. Families can confirm their eligibility, apply for the program, and find participating broadband providers via the USAC website. There are also many other free and low-cost internet options for New York City families.

Bake Sale

Wednesday, October 20, our Senior Council is sponsoring a bake sale right outside of the main office. Cupcakes, cookies, and cake will all be available, and everything will cost $1-$2. All proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research.
