About Cirillo Summer Theatre:

The Cirillo Summer Theatre (CST) was founded in 1968 by the late Ernest P. Cirillo, English and drama teacher at Windsor High School and local community theatre director. A junior division for youngsters was added a couple of years later. The mission of the group is to educate young people in the theatre arts and to provide them with a creative outlet while entertaining the community at large. Throughout the years, CST has attracted youth and young adults, both newcomers and experienced, from local communities to act in its shows. Parents and other adults often give of their time working with the group in a variety of backstage areas right alongside of the children, teens and young adult members of the group’s two age appropriate divisions.
