Stage Kids WA (SKWA) Musical Theater Classes include drama, music and choreography. Learn from experienced teachers and performers while having FUN!
Our musical theater classes are focused on skill-development, not performance. They are not just for performers but for any child who wants to explore performing arts. Your child will learn how to express him or herself, gaining poise and self-confidence. We encourage creativity and imagination!
Each session (Fall and Spring) SKWA offers a 4, 6, and 7 week theater arts classes to children & youth grades 1-8. These 30, 60 or 75 minute after-school classes will be held at the Numerica Performing Arts Center (PAC). During the final week of classes, students will display a portion of what they've learned by participating in a “Class Act” for their families.

Enrolled students, have the opportunity to participate in a Stage Kids Broadway-style musical! Younger students, grades 1-2, may serve as ushers at SKWA shows, and students ages 12 and up may work on a backstage crew.
Note: You must be enrolled in a SKWA class in order to be eligible to participate in a show.
Theater is an art form, so change and evolution is encouraged! At Stage Kids, we are growing and developing new ways to meet the needs of our students, families and community.
Our “Class Act” is an opportunity for kids to share what they’ve been learning in their classes. With over 100 students attending this fall, we will have more time for each class to share by having the friends and family attend on the final evening of each class rather than everyone coming together for one huge event.
Please note your child’s last day of class, then mark your calendar to attend the last 30 minutes of their class so they can show you what they’re learning!
Stage Kids shows are called Spotlight Productions—performed every year during spring and fall. Spotlight Productions are always appropriate for your entire family and are an excellent way to introduce your children to the arts at a young age!
Students (Grade 3-8) who are enrolled in classes are eligible to register to be in a Broadway-style musical! Everyone who registers is cast in our shows, but space is limited.
Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

"Building Characters One Child at a Time"
Stage Kids develops and nurtures young people's potential through classes, workshops and performances.
Provide professional staff who encourage creativity and deliver quality performing arts training for both the beginner and the experienced performer. Use theater experiences to emphasize the life skills such as responsibility, confidence, teamwork and creating new friendships.
Often, the success of a show is determined by the number of tickets sold or the overall presentation. To us, the process is just as important (if not MORE important!) than the performance, so we focus on challenging and growing the children. After all, that's what makes a better show...theater skills are really life skills!
Wikipedia describes it as a "theatrical performance made by, with, and for a community." We love that definition because our shows are created with collaboration of professionals, parents and children. To us, "Community" is an important word, where all feel welcome and accepted. Even our community of parents have a great time together!
