SUMMER AT STAGES!
Everyone is welcome at STAGES!
Join the fun at STAGES Youth Theater when we kick off our 16th Summer Theater Program in June 2023! 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 (plays & musicals)!
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).
Registration NOW OPEN for Summer 2023 Programs!
STAGES theater camps have limited capacity, and early registration is strongly encouraged to avoid disappointment later. 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.

“When you graduate from STAGES you wish you could do it all over again. STAGES helped me grow as a person and I truly miss it.”
“The best part about having my child in STAGES was it was a place where she could go and be herself. She was accepted and loved for who and what she is. As the parent of a special needs child that is invaluable.”
