About
The Children’s Healing Project includes activities where participants play a wacky version of The Voice, play with the language of Shakespeare, and spend time explaining why they were a superhero that day. Through the Children’s Healing Project, patients have the opportunity, for a short time, to forget their troubles and enjoy their creative and imaginative exploration. Each year The Children’s Healing Project brings joy and laughter to patients and their families.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Throughout the school year, two TheatreWorks Teaching Artists visit the hospital and support patients and their siblings in elementary, middle, and high school.
The Children’s Healing Project includes TheatreWorks Teaching Artists working with patients at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, patients at the Comprehensive Eating Disorders Unit at the El Camino Hospital location, and patients and families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford while receiving care. With a reputation for artistic excellence, innovation, diversity, and integrity, TheatreWorks is Silicon Valley’s leading professional nonprofit theatre company. In 2019, TheatreWorks was honored to receive the Regional Theatre Tony Award. One patient said, “You can have fun like a normal kid. You can forget what is wrong with you.” A hospital administrator described “gales of laughter coming from the rooms & a more positive patient attitude after a visit.” Contact Jake Arky, Director of Education at [email protected] for more details on pricing, booking and all other details.
