Drama workshops for students of all ages at your school. Devised and delivered by Emma Davies and Sophie Mohsen. Sitara has its own Saturday Club and Emma and Sophie have run workshops in many international schools here in Cairo, eg. MBIS, NCBIS, BSC, CBS, CISE. (Approx 1¼ hours)
And still running, their acclaimed show: ALADDIN

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! Caryn Pelletier, AIS
The children thoroughly enjoyed the production of Aladdin. I also found it great fun and very entertaining. Thought all the effects were superb!! Lucy Churchill MBIS
Perfect! Sparkly! Imaginative! Really I am not joking! Zeina, aged 8
I think the show can be longer, Natalie, aged 10
