Shelter Island Historical Society: This Summer — BAL: Children’s Theater Program / Register

COMING THIS SUMMER! 

The Shelter Island Historical Society’s Summer Children’s Theater Program, directed and facilitated by the Brooklyn Acting Lab and made possible by the Elizabeth Pedersen Fund, is back! This year, the program has expanded from two to three weeks, and will take place July 28 to August 15 from 9 am to Noon.

Children, ages 6 to 12, are invited to explore the rich and vibrant history of Shelter Island through a playful and immersive theater workshop. Guided by the Brooklyn Acting Lab’s professional theater artists, participants will bring stories to life using text, music, dance, and visual art.

The program culminates in a celebratory performance on August 15 for family, friends, and the community to celebrate and share what the children have created.

This marks the fourth year for the workshop.

Past themes for the shows have been:

————

2022: The Water Protectors

2023: Children’s Stories of Shelter Island

2024: The Magic of Neverland on Shelter Island

————

The 2025 theme is a Land of  Oz-inspired tale. Beginning with the massive hurricane of 1938 that battered Shelter Island, children will journey to a magical world where they meet zany and fantastical characters linked to the stories of our beloved “rock”.

Registration for the workshop opens on January 25,

and space is limited!
