SSYT Storybook LIVE Events

 

Storybook LIVE Series

During the first COVID-19 shutdown, Shooting Stars Youtheatre (SSYT) worked hard to develop a way to bring the arts to young people and their families in a safe and socially distant way. At first, we began with a drive thru storybook, where people would drive their car around a designated space to listen and watch a story book come to life. Then as restrictions lifted, we moved to doing outdoor walking events. As we move forward into the future, SSYT will continue offering this form of arts education programming. Children and their families can enjoy a story, brought to life at stations, by the SSYT staff. If you or your organization are interested in bringing a Storybook LIVE to your area, contact Octavia Biggs at: obiggs@lctonstage.org

Cost for a StoryBook LIVE event is $175

When you book the SSYT Team to visit your community, the program may include themed backdrops, puppetry, costumes, props, music, activities, and basic marketing.

Cost for StoryBook LIVE material rental is $90

When you rent a StoryBook LIVE, items may include themed backdrops, puppetry, costumes, props, and music.  A StoryBook LIVE rental does not include an SSYT staff visit.
