SUMMER PROGRAM REGISTRATION!


SUMMER AT STAGES!

Note: If there is a sold-out program you are interested in, please contact us. It is sometimes the case that spots unexpectedly open up as summer plans change for previously-enrolled students.

Everyone is welcome at STAGES!

Join the fun at STAGES Youth Theater this summer! Kids kindergarten through high school will have joyful opportunities to unlock self-discovery through guided dramatic adventures, role-play/cosplay, and a variety of mainstage performance opportunities!

No previous experience is needed and no auditions are required! Registration for all summer programs is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis (casting for mainstage shows takes place as part of an informal, FUN, meet-and-greet event and everyone receives a role).

Limited spots remain in our Summer 2023 Programs!

We invite you to browse our Summer 2023 programs below, and follow the registration links.

Please check out our frequently asked questions, and review our latest COVID updates before registering.

“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.”

Eliza Skidgel, STAGES Alum & Employee

“Inclusion, confidence, empathy, support. STAGES teaches life long lessons that go far beyond any stage. There is NO youth theater experience like it.”

Julie Fournier, STAGES Parent
