About Castillo Theatre
Castillo Theatre is an award-winning off-off-Broadway cultural hub and home to Black theater. In nearly 40 years, Castillo has produced nearly 200 plays and musicals. Its diverse following has come to expect issues of politics, race, and sexuality to sweep across the theatre’s stage. More than a play-producer, Castillo is broadly a sphere for creative thinking and political engagement for all.
Founded in 1984, Castillo grew from activists and artists, poets and performers. Privately funding enabled the theatre’s offering of improvisation, the works of the late Fred Newman, and German avant-gardist Heiner Müller, as well as youth productions. Currently, Castillo’s producing partnership with Woodie King, Jr.’s New Federal Theatre has broadened its role as creative place-maker for diverse voices.
Castillo Theatre is a program of the All Stars Project of New York (ASP). ASP array of youth programs includes the All Stars Talent Show Network, the Development School for Youth, and Youth Onstage! The All Stars Project’s mission is to transform the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults. In All Stars programs, people learn new performances onstage and off. They try new things, become more worldly and begin to create new possibilities for themselves and their communities. Castillo is proudly the theatre leg of this larger people-first operation.

Mission Statement
The All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP) is dedicated to promoting human development through the use of an innovative performance and development based model. The ASP creates outside of school, educational and performing arts activities for tens of thousands of poor and minority young people. It sponsors community and experimental theatre, develops leadership training and pursues volunteer initiatives that build and strengthen communities.
Description
The ASP sponsors the following programs:
All Stars Talent Show Network, now in its 30th year, uses a "performance-learning" approach to foster the emotional and social development of young people. Each year, thousands of urban youth between the ages of 5 and 25 participate in several dozen All Stars events including auditions, rehearsals, talent shows and development workshops.
The Joseph A. Forgione Development School for Youth is a leadership training and career education program for young people ages 16-21. It is at the forefront of a new trend in education, known as supplemental education, that recognizes non-school-based learning opportunities as critical to children's success in school and in life.
The Castillo Theatre is an independently-funded experimental off-off Broadway theatre on 42nd Street that produces postmodern political theatre, exploring contemporary topics in ways that are both thought-provoking and entertaining. It offers our diverse audiences new ways of seeing social issues, historical events, and contemporary life.
Youth Onstage! is developing the city' s new generation of political theatre artists. YO! involves young people who want to create theatre that has something to say about the world.
Operation Conversation: Cops & Kids is a partnership with the New York City Police Department. It brings young people from poor communities together with police officers in performance workshops where they learn to listen to one another and create a new kind of relationship.
UX is a free, university-style school of continuing development. It has classes workshops and field trips that are open to people of all ages.
