Since its inception, it has produced more than 180 shows, trained more than 12,500 aspiring young actors, and entertained over 25,000 Bay Area families. 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 is led by an Executive Operations Director and an Executive Artistic Director, along with an all-volunteer Board of Directors. SCCT’s staff includes drama teaching artists, vocal directors, choreographers, and part-time roles such as Technical Director, Costume Designer, Set Designer, Accountant, and Marketing Manager.
San Carlos Children's Theater provides independent performing arts programs and also runs after-school theater programs in public schools in San Carlos, Redwood City, and Belmont. Each year, it hosts free family activities and participates in local community events including San Carlos Hometown Days, San Carlos Farmers Market, and Belmont’s Save the Music festival. The program 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. It emphasizes that the process is just as important for the student as the product and supports performers in learning the fundamentals of performing arts and technical production. Students are encouraged to take on theater leadership roles through SCCT’s Youth Advisory Board and can work as junior assistant directors or choreographers, technical crew assistants, or class and camp aides.
