Bronx Child Shines In Tada! Youth Theater

A local borough youth, 14-year-old Jaden Gonzalez, will appear as Leon in the play ‘Geniuses’ at the TADA! Youth Theater at 15 W. 28th Street in Manhattan from Saturday, April 28 to Sunday, May 20, along with additional borough children who are part of the cast in the show’s ensemble.

The theater that will host the performances is an award-winning nonprofit youth theater producing original musicals for children, teens and families.

The play is about two kids from a school for children who learn differently.

They sneak into an elite private school and shake things up for the better.
