Mission + Vision
Twenty-Eight years ago when I first founded the Saddle River Youth Theatre, we had 15 students. Today, we offer a safe place for our students to learn and grow, with over 200 cast families involved throughout the year and serving an audience of over 11,000, we offered 444 classes and 50 performances in 2022. Come see why the Bergen County Division of Cultural Affairs rates the Saddle River Youth Theatre as an, "Outstanding Theatre Program For Young People!"
Saddle River Youth Theatre is celebrating it's 27th Anniversary this year with a full season acting classes , broadway workshops and performance auditions in our historic theater and performance venue in Allendale.

MISSION
About Us
About Us
Theatre allows children to tell stories about places and circumstances,
to create characters and
to become empathetic.
Students learn responsibility by having to practice lines and dance steps at home but then come to theatre to learn even more
socially important skills as:
"Taking Turns"
(whether in a game or time on stage)
"Accepting Positive Criticism"
(so they can grow and learn from their peers and mentors)
"Safely Exploring Their Emotions"
(by guided questions about characters and
conflict such as "What do you think your character is feeling?" "How would you resolve it?")
"Finding Time For Fun!"
(happiness breeds curiosity and imaginary play and play is an essential form of learning not only for young children but teens and adults, as well!)
