2026 SUMMER CHILDREN’S THEATER PROGRAM!
|
Our 2026 Summer Children’s Theater Program recently wrapped up its season with an original production created by our young actors and directed by the Brooklyn Acting Lab.
Written by Jeana Scotti, the show, titled "Every Little Bit: A Story of the Tiniest Spies of Shelter Island," told the historically fictional story of the Havens children during the British occupation of our island and their involvement with the Culper Spy Ring. Our troupers are seen here singing one of the songs they created for the performance. Special thanks to Adam Bundy for his photos, also to Bill and Lea Pedersen for their involvement. Now in its fifth year, the Summer Children’s Theater Program is made possible by the Elizabeth Pedersen Educational Fund and the Victoria Loconsolo Foundation, Inc. |
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT
THE SUMMER CHILDREN'S THEATER PROGRAM "Brooklyn Acting Lab camp at SIHS has been a magical and memorable summer experience for our children. For the past two summers, we've watched with delight as they stage an original production with creativity, joy, and support, while gaining a deeper connection to the history and lore of Shelter Island." Lisbeth
"Children’s summer theater at the Historical Society on Shelter Island with Brooklyn Acting Lab is nothing short of MAGICAL! Our daughter has participated in the program for the past three summer and has thrived under the creative tutelage of the entire team. The children have the dramatic freedom to express various characters, be part of a theatrical community and learn about various elements of Shelter Islands history. We hope the program will continue for many years to come and only wish it was longer for a continued eating experience." Susannah |
