Yes! The CAA studio is holding all classes in-person. All of our instructors are vaccinated.  Masks are optional in the studio and chairs will be spread out in the main room.  We run two air purifiers with HEPA filters during all classes.

We are holding all shows in person at the studio.  We require audiences to be masked.  Actors onstage are not masked..

Unfortunately, we do not have any outdoor space of our own and cannot guarantee that we will be undisturbed if we attempted to hold class in Vassallo Park. Many other groups and individuals use that space during the week.

We are offering after-school programs for the Croton Harmon School District at the elementary and middle schools.  We are no longer running an after school program. at our studio

All students and staff have the option to wear masks when in the studio.   Air purifiers with HEPA filters are run daily during classes. Hand sanitizer is provided throughout the studio.

Students are not required to be vaccinated but we strongly encourage all of our students to get the vaccine.  All in-person staff are vaccinated fully at this time.

CAA lost an estimated 90% of its income due to COVID in 2020-2021.  We were able to survive because of some virtual classes and performances, a 2020 fundraising campaign, our PPP loans, and our in-person summer camps. For the fall of 2021, we brought our classes back inside and began offering limited seating in-person performances.  The urgency of keeping the arts alive could not be more important for schools like us.  

CAA was extremely fortunate to take over the after-school program for the Croton Harmon School District. in the fall of 2021.  We are recently certified by NYS as an after-care program.  This has allowed us to be able to remain in our space and expand our school.  We are now able to also offer some scholarship aid.
