Christopher Silva Memorial Scholarship Fund




Chris Silvia was our beloved Technical Director from 2013 – 2016. Chris created beautiful sets for our productions, he carefully crafted our costumes, and he worked countless hours on every Newport Children’s Theatre production. His contributions, however, were not limited to our own productions. Chris also designed our shows' playbills and advertisements, and he devoted additional time serving as a dedicated trustee on our Board. The most wonderful gift he gave us was passing on his knowledge and enthusiasm through teaching numerous children set design and building skills. His energy was boundless and contagious, and he will remain forever in our hearts. This fund was created to commemorate his life and to continue his legacy of love for theatre.



The Christopher Silvia Memorial Scholarship Fund will help NCT provide additional educational programs aimed at students interested in all aspects of technical theatre. In addition, as the fund grows, the Scholarship Fund will help financially support a chosen high school senior on an annual basis who wishes to pursue theatre arts in college.


We Love you Chris!

You will be with your NCT Family always!
