Staten Island Children’s Theatre Association
Volunteer teachers versed in the dramatic and musical arts are always welcome to lend their talents to the Staten Island Children's Theatre Association, the SIMHS's self-sustaining program that promotes positive mental health and self-confidence in young people. The Children's Theater Performing Arts Company sponsors three dramatic workshop series each year for budding thespians or returning stage veterans 5- to-18-years-old. Tuition is moderate, and a limited number of scholarships are available. The program director and her predominantly volunteer staff teach the children all aspects of the theatre arts, and each workshop culminates in the children performing a classic Broadway musical for school classes and the public. Every child in the workshop gets a chance to perform on stage. As their training in the theatre arts progresses, the children learn the value of commitment and teamwork, develop their creative expression, and hone their socialization and communication skills. Many of the older performers have been with the Children's Theatre troupe since they were kindergartners, and alumni often return to pass on their skills. Volunteer teachers are always welcome.
