The Play Group Theatre describes itself as Westchester's Theatre for Children and Teens and uses the phrase “Preparing Kids for Every Stage in Life SM.” Its mission states that every class and rehearsal is a unique learning environment and an authentic arts experience, with an emphasis on understanding the thinking process behind each student’s work, providing tangible skills, and allowing creative freedom to define an artistic voice. The mission also notes that the program works rigorously and joyously, celebrates both the seriousness of art and the fun of childhood, and describes PGT as a community of artists.
The Play Group Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization made possible in part by donors and is honored for excellence in arts education. It has been voted Best of Westchester's Best Local Theater Group, Best Children's Theater, Best After School Program, and Best Place to Take the Kids. The organization states “Live Theatre, It's Part of Living” and “from North Broadway to Broadway; a PGT Benefit performance,” and is currently registering Spring & Summer Performing Arts Programs with limited space.
Through the PGT Generations Program, The Play Group Theatre selects a cohort of students from each of White Plains' five elementary schools to participate in year-round theatre programming, including two MainStage productions and the summer camp, throughout their elementary, middle, and high school years. The PGT Scholarship Fund supports partnerships with the White Plains Youth Bureau and El Centro Hispano and provides seasonal need-based scholarships, and The Play Group Theatre is a grantee of ArtsWestchester with funding made possible by Westchester County government with the support of County Executive Kenneth W. Jenkins and the Board of Legislators.
Testimonials from audience members, parents, students, and alumni describe experiences with productions such as In Wonderland and Spongebob, refer to the theatre company as life-changing, and mention long-term impact on school success, public speaking, and personal growth. Parents and fans note the value of having this theatre company available for their children, and students and alumni describe lessons in fearlessness, community, and a place to grow up.
