NPT showcased its theatre arts education mentoring by featuring NPT youth alongside Broadway, Film and TV pros.  For each show, NPT partners with another social justice nonprofit.  This year NPT collected new PJ's and gift cards for the nonprofit "Dillan's Closet" before each show for children who are in the hospital this holiday season.  

New Paradigm Theatre's summer production of Disney's The Little Mermaid will partner with The Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk and will feature educational initiatives like "Clean up the Sound" with students from NPT and the Maritime Aquarium. The debris collected will be turned into sets, costumes and props to highlight the issues surrounding the environment.  Registrations and applications for students and auditions for professionals and local adults will be posted in January.
