Confidence. Humility. Teamwork. Responsibility. Creativity. Empathy. Joy! Theater skills are life skills delivered in an incredibly fun, engaging, age-appropriate way. Whether your child already loves singing, dancing, and acting, or could just use an opportunity to explore who they are and make new friends in a positive environment, Stage Kids classes are a great way to keep your kiddo growing and laughing this Fall and Winter!
Stage Kids is an educational theater program that focuses on developing character. We see the value of having children develop skills in classes in addition to participating in shows. For this reason, simultaneous enrollment in a class is required while in the cast of a show. Stage Kids knows that kids grow in confidence when they grow in skills!
Our Intro to Theater-1 class provides a supportive, creative environment in which each student can discover and develop their unique strengths and talents. We all put them together in a fun, creative, and expressive way which builds confidence too. The Intro to Theater program introduces students to theater terminology, parts of the stage, roles in the theater, and incorporates three performance elements: dance, acting, and singing. This is our entry-level class for new students.
NOTE: Students MAY participate in a Spotlight Production WHILE ENROLLED in Intro to Theater-1. Stage Kids T-Shirt included for new Stage Kids.

Confidence. Humility. Teamwork. Responsibility. Creativity. Empathy. Joy! Theater skills are life skills delivered in an incredibly fun, engaging, age-appropriate way. Whether your child already loves singing, dancing, and acting, or could just use an opportunity to explore who they are and make new friends in a positive environment, Stage Kids shows are a great way to keep your kiddo growing and laughing this Fall and Winter!
Stage Kids is an educational theater program that focuses on developing character. We see the value of having children develop skills in classes in addition to participating in shows. For this reason, simultaneous enrollment in a class is required while in the cast of a show. Stage Kids knows that kids grow in confidence when they grow in skills!
Based on the heartwarming classic film, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas is a holiday favorite for the whole family! The story follows two World War II veterans and a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to a Christmas stage show. They all end up at a Vermont inn that has fallen on hard times, so they decide to put on a big show to draw in business. And YOU will be right there in the middle of it seated around tables for a dessert-style theater experience, just like the guests in the barn of the original movie! So, be sure to join us this Christmas for a unique Stage Kids fundraiser show—complete with a stellar adult cast, unforgettable songs, and a special live theater setting you won’t soon forget!
(Run time is approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission.)

"Building Characters, One Child at a Time"
Stage Kids demonstrate confidence, responsibility, empathy, teamwork, and artistry as they positively impact the world.
Through musical theater classes, camps, productions, and after-school programs, Stage Kids equips our local youth with the life skills, character, and relationships for a bright future of positive impact.
EMPATHY | RESPONSBILITY | INCLUSION | TEAMWORK | ARTISTRY
We believe our best hope for the future is our local youth. We cannot solve the challenges they will face, but we can equip them with the life skills, character, and relationships to face those challenges successfully for themselves. Being geographically close to us, we can surround them with a community of support and shared values.
Musical theater is a powerful medium for teaching life skills, developing character, and forming strong relationships. Stage Kids learn and practice self-awareness, confidence, responsibility, empathy, teamwork, creative problem solving, artistry, and much more. Our success is not measured by the number of tickets sold or a flawless performance; we measure our success by the growth each Stage Kid experiences in the process of participating.
If you also believe our best hope for the future is our local youth, and that musical theater is a powerful medium for developing critical life skills, character, and relationships—become a Stage Kids Family Member by making a donation today!
