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.
“Being able to think outside of the box and put yourself out there, especially as a child, teaches you how to be a confident, well-rounded person. I know I don’t know where I would be without youth theater.”
“Inclusion, confidence, empathy, support. STAGES teaches life long lessons that go far beyond any stage. There is NO youth theater experience like it.”
