See the Wizard of Oz Wednesday, August 5th

Hello everyone,
Well, we are rapidly approaching the big day.

Wizard of OZ
Performed by the participants in the NY Center Drama Camp
WEDNESDAY EVENING @ 7 PM,
200 Adelaide Ave. in Oakwood –

TICKETS ARE $10

The cast has been rehearsing, sets have been designed and built; there is excitement is in the air and it is being felt all over Staten Island.

We hope you are planning to attend to see what incredible work is done by our drama teacher, Tracy Rosenberg, and our dance instructor, Lee Tanenbaum. Then, of course, there is the amazing and wonderful work the young people have poured into making the production a reality.

I have attached a few pictures of the production crew preparing the sets. Note the great houses created for the Munchkins. Isn’t it great? It is not to be missed!

Will you be there? I hope so. Robert

In the News:

NY 1 and the Staten Island Advance highlighted students in our after school program at Curtis.

Students have been making blankets for children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need through Project Linus. Led by two wonderful students, Khaleda Akter and Jillian Christy, they began in January and have made hundreds of blankets for the children. What a wonderful project! The Staten Island Advance was there to take pictures as well so look for that story in the paper.

Pictured here, the NYCID After School participants at Curtis High School recently delivered some of the blankets they made for homeless children to a staff member at Project Hospitality.
