Giggles Theater is one of the many projects of the non-profit organization Medical Missions for Children, where Connie Milstein has contributed and served as a Trustee.

Performing three times each week, Giggles Theater brings the healing power of laughter, song and entertainment to hospitalized children at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital in Paterson, NJ.

Giggles also reaches out to the children who are not well enough to visit the theater itself. The show is shared even with those confined to bed or their hospital rooms by broadcasting their laughter-filled productions over closed-circuit TV throughout the hospital.

In addition, every show is recorded so that it can be viewed by ill children in over 100 children’s hospitals throughout the world.  This fulfills one of the goals of Medical Missions for Children, which is to break down the barriers of nationality and distance to bring comfort and medical care to any child anywhere in the world. In the case of Giggles, that care is in the form of laughter, proving that “laughter is the best medicine.”

Many organizations use an incredible amount of creativity and thought to touch the lives of those in need. The Medical Missions for Children, founded with the help of Connie Milstein and many others, is one such organization. Their Giggles theater performs in a hospital in New Jersey three times a week to bring laughter and entertainment to sick children. Learn more about their amazing mission here.
