SCT JR Youth Program
Stockton Civic Theatre’s SCT Junior Summer Youth Program provides high-quality arts education opportunities that cultivate creativity, community, and artistic growth for our students. Annually we offer SCT Junior Stage for young artists interested in acting, singing, and dancing. We also offer SCT Junior Crew for young artists interested in stagecraft, design, and construction of sets, props, and costumes. Both culminate in the production of a full-scale musical. We also offer workshops and training experiences for kids and adults throughout the year.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at sctjrprogram@gmail.com if you have any questions
