STAR Program

What is S.T.A.R.?

Registration is now open!

STAR is a 5-week summer theatre intensive (based on New York State Education Department's Learning Standards for the Arts) that allows up to 35 area youth (aged 12-16) to explore the world of theatre. Students work with professional artists to develop their own original work, gaining skills in writing, costume and set design, dancing, acting and singing. The program culminates in a series of performances offered free to the community. Participants learn to work cooperatively with each other and with professional staff - right in the theatre.

STAR program dates run from Tuesday, July 2 through Friday, August 5 (no program activities on July 4th), with performances on August 3, 4 & 5. Program hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm, with extended care hours available. Tuition for the 5-week theatre intensive is $850. Families that register before May 1st will receive $50 off the tuition fee. Limited need-based scholarships are available.

Praise from Parents…

"This program gave my child confidence. She had input in the show. This will help her with many school activities."
"My son's confidence and level of participation increased dramatically, all due to the philosophy and education provided through S.T.A.R."
