Galli Theater New York, New York

Founded by philosopher, playwright, and actor [Johannes Galli](http://gr.pn/w0qM0u), the Galli Theater celebrates childhood and strives to help its actors and audiences reveal their true selves with modern adaptations of fairy tales. Each year the nonprofit organization produces more than eight family-friendly productions designed to "help participants gain self-confidence, learn new languages and cultures, improve acting skills, and increase health and wellness," according to its [website](http://gr.pn/xfn2hu). With performances of well-known and widely loved titles such as _Aladdin_, _The Princess and the Pea_, and _Snow White_, both audiences and actors leave each show having learned valuable life lessons and different clapping styles.
