Shelter Me, The Musical

Haven Kids Rock returns to the stage this November with Shelter Me, The Musical!

Haven Kids Rock, our performing arts after-school program based at Haven Academy – our Bronx-based Pre-K – 8th grade charter school targeted to children in the child welfare system – provides young people with an opportunity to channel their creativity and express their perspectives through music and dance.

Shelter Me, The Musical is a gritty and emotionally charged pop/rock show inspired by the real-life stories of children growing up in the foster care and child welfare system. Born in the streets of the South Bronx, this extraordinary show sheds light on the challenging lives of those who intimately understand the struggles of residing in homeless shelters. The show follows the lives of three families as they navigate adversity, discovering strength within themselves, and learning to become the flashlight in their own lives. With grit, humor and honesty our Bronx native kids will steal your heart.
