Respect for All Game Show
Celebrate Diversity, Teamwork, and Community!
Bring inclusive, culturally responsive, and diverse theater assemblies to your community—now reimagined to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
Our Respect for All: America at 250 programs align with the NYC Department of Education’s Respect for All initiative while inviting participants to explore how many voices, cultures, and communities have shaped our nation’s story.
Through teamwork, play, and shared discovery, participants reflect on respect, empathy, and belonging—past, present, and future.
Respect for All: America at 250 – Interactive Game Show
Get ready to shine a light on your community’s unique culture, values, and contributions. Each show highlights important themes such as:
- Black History Month & Underrepresented Voices
- Civics, Citizenship & Shared Responsibility
- Anti-Bullying, Advocacy & Belonging
- Motivation, Teamwork & Community Building
Through engaging challenges and playful competition, participants explore often-unsung stories while discovering how collaboration and respect strengthen our communities—and our country.
