REVEL! Alumni & Friends Concert

Thank You for Making REVEL! 2025 a Success

STAGES Youth Theater extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2025 REVEL! Alumni & Friends Concert.

From the first note to the final raffle drawing, REVEL! was a joyful celebration of music, community, and the shared spirit that defines STAGES. We were delighted to welcome alumni, families, Teaching Artists, and friends who came together to celebrate the power of youth theater and the connections that continue to grow from it

We are deeply grateful to:

• Our performers — alumni, students, and special guests — who brought this year’s theme, “Journey,” to life through song.
• Our raffle contributors and participants — whose generosity helped raise vital funds to support STAGES programs.
• Our volunteers, Teaching Artists, and supporters — who helped make the event possible through their time, creativity, and care.

During the concert, STAGES also announced its plans to build and strengthen our community of families, alumni, Teaching Artists, and supporters who wish to play a greater role in shaping the organization’s future. Whether through volunteering, joining a board committee service, or sharing ideas and expertise, there are many meaningful ways to get involved and help sustain the STAGES mission in the years ahead.

If you are interested in learning more about how to participate in this growing community, please reach out any time.

Your enthusiasm and support ensure that STAGES Youth Theater continues to provide a creative, inclusive space where young people can learn, grow, and shine through the power of theater.

We are profoundly grateful — and already looking forward to next year’s REVEL!

ABOUT REVEL! 2025

Theater has the power to unlock imagination, confidence, and self-discovery in young people—and that’s what STAGES Youth Theater is all about. Each year, hundreds of students step into our programs to grow creatively and connect with others in a supportive artistic community.

Join us as we celebrate this important work—and help sustain it for the future—at our 6th annual REVEL! Alumni & Friends Concert: Journeys. This musical showcase by STAGES alumni, current students, and special guests is a chance to reconnect with the STAGES community, celebrate the paths our students and alumni have taken, and support the programs that make STAGES such a special place for young people.

Journey with STAGES … This year’s REVEL! celebrates the many paths that have shaped the STAGES community—our students’ first steps on stage, the friendships and discoveries made along the way, and the enduring connection that brings alumni back to share their voices year after year. Through music, storytelling, and collaboration, we honor every journey that makes STAGES what it is today, while looking ahead to the adventures still to come.
