The daily operations of the organization with highly trained instructors, indepently contracted, teach classes and workshops throughout the week. These people include neighborhood residents, parents and family members, industry professionals, and other field experts who assist in every aspect of the organization from transportation to set construction, book-keeping to playing in the orchestra of a
production. Over the years, SLCT has produced an abundance of mainstage musicals, workshops, and summer programs. Each May, a mainstage production is presented, the culmination of six months of tireless efforts on the part of the cast members, Francesca & Ayn and countless volunteers. The mainstage has gone from a 1 weekend performance to a 3 week performance with Beauty and the Beast. The school shows sell out and SLCT is thrilled to be the organization to present theater to students in many cases for the first time. The success of the programs is due in part to partnerships with business, academia, goverment, volunteers and charitable support given by the community. From 1999 through 2007 when the Tappan Studio was acquired, Stage Left used various spaces all around the county to hold rehearsals and classes. SLCT is a non-profit organization that qualifies under IRC Section 501(c)(3) and relies on funding from many sources. The organization's annual budget originates mostly from tuition and ticket sales along with county and foundation grants, private donations and fundraising activities.
