St.George Theatre - Staten Island, New York

Educational Outreach

Every Summer the St. George Theatre

Restoration , Inc. will host a FREE intensive four week dance workshop to be held at the St. George Theatre. 75 students will be accepted for SGTR's "Outreach Program".

These students will not pay what a four hour, five day a week program would cost -- approximately $400.00 per person. The students will study for free. The program includes classes in ballet, modern, jazz, hip-hop, tap, Irish step dancing, dance films, preparation for auditions and performance.

The ensembles long term goal is to fund dance training for gifted children from economically challenged homes as well as having a scholarship fund available to students pursuing a degree in dance and theatre. Any student anticipating a dance education will be eligible.

If you would like to help the SGTR's efforts to provide programs for children in our community who cannot afford tuition, any grants or funding would be appreciated. Your tax-deductible gift would be used prudently and would directly enhance the lives of our neediest young people.

Richmond County Savings Foundation & New York Community Trust are proud sponsors of the St. George Theatre Restoration, Inc.'s Spring & Summer Outreach Programs.

To learn more about the Educational Outreach Program please call us at 718-442-2900. Applications for the Summer 2008 program will be available after May 1, 2008.

Night of Theatre Program

The St. George Theatre Restoration, Inc. has endorsed the principal of making the St. George Theatre accessible to people in groups who would otherwise not be able to afford such an experience. We believe that enabling children, seniors and those from underserved communities to experience the theatre and all it has to offer is fundamental to our role. By working with community organizations and providing outreach programs we hope to contribute to the well-being of the community. Please call 718-442-2900 for more information.

In past years, we have donated at least 100 tickets to each of these organizations; Seaman's Society, Project Hospitality, 120th Precinct Police Council and Health Plus, St. Michael's School, P.S.18, and the Teddy Atlas Foundation. They distributed the tickets to over 1,000 families.
