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 spring, 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 large event.
Please note your child’s last day of class, then mark your calendar to attend from 5:00-5:45pm so they can show you what they’re learning (subject to change)!
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!

Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy Award-winning motion picture, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is a fantastic adaptation of the story of transformation and tolerance. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach JR. is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic.
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way.

"Building Characters One Child at a Time"
Stage Kids develops and nurtures young people's potential through classes, workshops and performances.
Create uplifting theater experiences to develop life skills of responsibility, teamwork and confidence in youth while providing access to every child who wants to experience performing arts education.
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!
Stage Kids is a program of the National Youth Performers which is recognized by the IRS as an organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) and donor contributions may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. It is advised to consult with a tax adviser to determine whether a contribution is deductible.
