Stage Kids Musical Theater Classes include drama, music and theater production subjects. Learn from experienced teachers and performers while having FUN!

Enrolled students, have the opportunity to participate in a Stage Kids Broadway-style musical! Younger students, grades 1-3, 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 one of our classes 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 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 5:00-6:00 PM 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!
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.

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 in musical theater.
Developing confident kids who impact their worlds with empathy, respect, conviction, and passion.
We use musical theater as a vehicle to instill the values of acceptance, inclusion, compassion, responsibility, and team work.
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!
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.
