What we do

The SCT Artistic and Cultural Ecosystem

The main priority of Storybook Children’s Theatre is the well-being and emotional health of young people.  All programming, policy, and funding decisions are made with their best interest in mind.  Our focus is to create a positive learning experience for everyone.

SCT strives to enhance the quality of life in the North Bay by presenting imaginative, diverse, artistic experiences for the community through education, events, civic participation and performance.

 

Studio and Classroom Environment

Respect   ♦   Responsibility   ♦   Collaboration   ♦   Kindness

We call our studio The Imagination Sanctuary because one feels a sense of creative freedom when entering the prepared environment.  It is a place that inspires curiosity, reflective thought, amusement, purpose…

Art Studio offers mixed media, crafts, drawing, collage, mosaic, painting, clay and other fun activities under the direction of trained teachers.

Hands-on projects related to theme are placed throughout the space amidst a backdrop of visual art, literature, science and geography.

The design and learning opportunities change in support of the current theatre production.  Weekly themes are planned for the younger child classes.

Individual Achievement
Many SCT Cast roles are custom written to meet the needs of individual children.  The original works of art are timely and relevant for the community.

Individual attention is the hallmark of SCT productions.

SCT wants all students to have access to quality programming and opportunities.  Therefore, it is important to match children to the classes that are most suitable for them.  The staff makes every effort to place students into proper groups depending on current abilities and prior experience.

Effort → Progress → Success

The SCT Step Up Productions are designed for family and friends.

The SCT On Stage Productions are focused on children performing for children.  The plays are based on popular children’s literature and shared with preschool to kindergarten attendees.

The SCT Limelight Productions are large scale performances created for the general public.

Audience Engagement – The audience members become active participants in the Step Up and On Stage productions.  Interactive experiences and exhibits related to current theme bring the story to LIFE!  On Stage Cast meet-and-greets and autograph signing available by group reservation.

SCT Homeschool Connection – The Storybook Children’s Theatre offers individual students or groups to participate in our classes and workshops.  We can help customize your homeschool theatre arts education based on California Standards and personal goals.

Civic Participation – Parades, Festivals, Community Service and Field Trips

Special Events are held throughout the year and are open to the community.  The EHASS Yearly Gala highlights the children’s work and their stories.  The events encourage each child to use their skills in real society while enjoying the pleasures of community life.
