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 Spring!
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.

The workshop will cover sound basics including connections and set-up, basic sound physics, and sound system tuning. The class will learn the importance of microphone and speaker placement, then have the opportunity to try it out. We will pack it in and students will leave with new skills and understanding.

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 Winter and Spring!
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!
Stage Kids' summer camps are a great way to create more empathetic, creative, and outgoing children. It’s great for new children to give Stage Kids a try, as kids have a chance to build relationships and have fun over a short period of time.
Kids will love these fun-filled musical theater summer camps! Campers will learn songs, play theater games, learn choreography, do crafts, and more! These are great introductory theatre camps that will help grow a love of theatre and performing in the students. Each showcase camp will create its own mini-show to perform for friends and family on the last day of camp!
Our youngest performers focus on call-and-response style performing with easy and fun songs and stories inspired by favorite children's books like "Interrupting Chicken" and "Giraffes Can't Dance."

"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.
