Alumni
Rosie’s Theater Kids Changes Lives
Many RTKids alumni maintain their strong connections to the organization long after they have graduated from the Maravel Arts Center. As a result, we provide them with valuable support and connect them to internships, jobs, mentors, and other unique opportunities that help them grow personally and professionally.

“Walking into Rosie’s Kids as an 11-year-old, you would never have been able to tell me how much of a sanctuary this place would end up being for me.”
– Tony, Class of 2013
“RTKids taught me that an arts education has the power to touch the soul, inspire the mind, and heal the heart. It has allowed me to develop a stronger individualistic point of view about the world and society in which I live in and how art can be a manifestation of my own values. The constant encouragement and support given to me has been instrumental in giving me a new perspective and direction I could not have been able to attain on my own.”
– Jose, Class of 2019
