Since its inception in 1990, San Carlos Children's Theater has produced more than 180 shows, trained more than 12,500 aspiring young actors, and entertained over 25,000 Bay Area families. It is a non-profit children and youth theater organization that provides students ages 4–18 with theatrical experiences that foster creative and critical thinking skills, develop leadership, build self-confidence, and teach teamwork in a supportive, safe environment. Its mission is to educate youth on all aspects of theater production while nurturing creative expression, self-confidence, teamwork, and an appreciation for the arts. The organization believes that the process is just as important for the student as the product and helps performers discover more about themselves as they learn the fundamentals of performing arts and technical production. It nurtures each student’s imagination and creative aspirations to help them reach their full potential and develop a life-long love for the arts.
San Carlos Children's Theater’s skilled staff includes drama teaching artists, vocal directors, choreographers, and a part-time Technical Director, Costume Designer, Set Designer, Accountant, and Marketing Manager. The non-profit organization is led by an Executive Operations Director and an Executive Artistic Director, along with an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Students are routinely encouraged to participate in theater leadership by joining the Youth Advisory Board or working as junior assistant directors or choreographers, technical crew assistants, or class and camp aides.
San Carlos Children's Theater is committed to the community and to providing theater training to students throughout the Peninsula. In addition to its independent performing arts programs, it provides after-school theater programs to public schools in San Carlos, Redwood City, and Belmont. Each year it hosts a variety of free family activities and participates in local community events such as San Carlos Hometown Days, San Carlos Farmers Market, and Belmont’s Save the Music festival.
