Year-Round Drama Programs
The Staten Island Children's Theatre Association, (SICTA), 
runs three sessions per year of drama programs for children ages 5-18.
SPRING: Usually an 8 week session running from late March to early May. We meet on Saturdays and vary our program: sometimes concentrating on improvisation, drama & comedy or musical scenes and numbers. Classes are divided according to age and our teachers are experienced theatre professionals. This past spring, we explored topics such as Auditioning, Vocal, Comedic & Dramatic Scenes and Monologues, & Broadway Dancing.  Although many of our regular students attend, this is a perfect class for beginners! We're also offering a more intensive class for ages 12 and up which includes the above topics as well as body and mind conditioning for the actor. Call in January or February to receive our flyer.(718 981-7288) The spring session is open to all: Ages 5-18 (Children must be 5 years old by the first class).

SUMMER:   Our Musical Drama Camp runs three weeks and culminates in a fabulous show with  public performances at the Music Hall at Snug Harbor Cultural Center.. Classes are divided according to age and meet weekdays for 13 days usually beginning in early July.This past summer we presented a fabulous production of Godspell, Jr. and we're looking forward to presenting "High School the Musical" this summer.
