CASTING
​

For the first time ever, SSTI is casting local children to be a part of our legendary summer productions. For our fifteenth anniversary season, SSTI's two productions require children in leading roles. This is an opportunity for students to work on a professional level, with extraordinary high school students from across the country and New York designers and directors.
​
There is NO TUITION for this opportunity.
