Rosie's Theater Kids

Rosie O'Donnell began the Maravel Arts Center, a free after-school arts program, to help the youth of New York City in 2003. From singers, actors, and dancers, this school provides access to people whom otherwise may not have had a space to develop their talents. In the film "Rosie's Theater Kids," the lives of several of the program's alumni are interviewed and provided with a platform to share their experience and the lasting impact of this opportunity.
