Founded by John and Bonnie Ryerson, Pied Piper/White Pond Community Arts is an award-winning youth program dedicated to nurturing the lives of young people and the local community through active participation in the arts. We are proud to be recognized by both the Dutchess County Executive with the Think Differently in the Arts award and by National Youth Arts. We strive to ignite children's imagination and encourage self-discovery by providing an opportunity to experience a variety of art forms, including dramatic and musical theater, performance art, dance, voice and music, painting, literature and design. At Pied Piper Youth Theater/ White Pond Community Arts, we believe that the arts should be accessible for all, regardless of race, color, national and ethnic origin, disability, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, or age. We are committed to providing an opportunity for everyone to experience the joy and creativity of the arts, while also adhering to our non-discriminatory policies.
