STAGES Youth Theater is a year-round youth theater company, presenting a full season of fully-staged, professional-quality all-student productions. STAGES registers our students on a non-competitive basis, and strives to maintain a nurturing, process-based rehearsal environment at all times. Now in our tenth year, we currently reach hundreds of students each week through our productions and as part of our innovative “STAGES in the Schools” program.
The STAGES Mission
To unlock self-discovery in young people through the transformative power of theater.
STAGES Core Values
At STAGES, we will:
- Nurture artists and creativity in all forms
- Treat everyone with respect & kindness and be open to new experiences
- Practice innovation and risk taking
- Recognize and celebrate the inherent uniqueness within each person
We believe creativity is inherent in children of all ages. Participation in the performing arts unlocks the imagination, builds self-esteem, and provides a meaningful opportunity for young people to learn about themselves and the world around them. STAGES provides a nurturing and safe environment in which kids can explore their creativity without fear of judgment or ridicule.
“STAGES allowed me to be creative, and to be myself, and for that I’m eternally grateful.”
“I’m not sure I would have wanted my children anywhere else during their formative years, other than with STAGES or at performing arts related programs. The supportive atmosphere was like no other.”
