ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS:
Architectural and Back Stage Tours:
We encourage our Staten Island schools and those of our neighboring communities to share and embrace all that this magnificent 1929 theatre has to offer. The class trip includes a one hour tour of the entire theatre followed by Q & A session. Students are amazed by the grand architectural design of this historic theatre and will learn about its history, the technical aspects of presenting a show, career paths in the arts, and theatre etiquette.
Fee: $7 per student and chaperone (teachers are free)
Live Performances:
The St. George Theatre features educational live performances for grades Pre-K to High School. These shows are dynamic, enriching, educational and so much fun for all ages! The live performances are performed by regional, national, and international professional touring companies, connecting the arts to the classroom curriculum.
Teachers receive at no additional cost an arts educational curriculum which connects the performance to what students are learning in school. This curriculum addresses the five strands of the NYC Board of Educational Blueprints for Teaching and Learning in the Arts. These programs and study guides are custom planned for each performance. It has been found that discussing your visit to the St. George Theatre with your students both before and after the performance helps make the experience more significant.
Show Tickets: $10 (front orchestra) $7 (general seating) per student/chaperone. Teachers are free.
One complimentary teacher admission is included with every 15 paid student admissions. Seating is assigned on a first come/first served basis according to age and need. (Please make your check payable to "St. George Theatre Restoration, Inc." ) A fifty percent deposit is required at booking and balance must be paid in full one month prior to the performance.
Show Times: 10:00 am (Performances have a running time of 60 - 70 minutes.)
