Based in New Cairo, Sitara offers quality Theatre in Education in English. Lights, Sound, Scenery, Costume, Props, Puppets, Masks and Music create a magical occasion for the children of Cairo. 

But Sitara has one BIG difference, offering a uniquely interactive experience. Everyone is invited to help tell the story, while a handful of young audience members are asked to become characters in the play, working alongside professional performers and puppeteers.

Sitara shows and workshops are aimed at children aged 3-11 and are available to schools and nurseries.

WHAT’S ON NOW?

Still offering, their acclaimed show : ALADDIN till July ‘09

Kids loved it….. it was really exciting.  I love the play; very age appropriate.  I especially like how the play is for kids, but some of the dialogue is more for adults!

The children thoroughly enjoyed the production of Aladdin.  I also found it great fun and very entertaining.  Thought all the effects were superb!!

A fairy Godmother; a wicked stepmother; a handsome prince!  All the ingredients for a perfect fairytale – just add some Sitara magic.

Fairy Fifi weaves a tale of romance and fun, while Cinderella and her best friend, Ronald the rat, find their way to a happy ending.  As always, John Barber’s puppets and masks make this show a visual spectacle not to be missed.  Music, mayhem and Sitara’s unique interactive approach will delight children and adults alike.
