Stage Kids Classes

Theater fun starts here!

HELLO, STAGE KIDS FAMILY AND NEW FRIENDS! WE HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF AWESOME CLASSES TO KEEP YOUR CHILD LEARNING, GROWING, AND LAUGHING THIS Year!

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 child growing and laughing this year!

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!

 

Winter Class Registration Opens November 26.

The scholarship deadline for Spring Classes is August 9th. Award notifications will be sent August 16th.


Class Details:

Class details may have been recently updated. Please review class information carefully before registering.

Questions? Email info@stagekidswa.org or call 509-663-6996 ext. 15

  • WHEN DO FALL CLASSES OPEN? Registration for Winter classes will open on November 26th at 6pm. Some classes fill fast, so we recommend you mark your calendar!
  • WHERE DO I START? If your child is new to Stage Kids classes, they'll want to take our core class, Intro to Theater-1 (formerly Musical Theater 1). The next semester, they would enroll in Intro to Theater-2 (formerly Musical Theater 2)! Even if your child doesn't want to be on stage, this class ensures all Stage Kids have the same basic theater knowledge, skills, and vocabulary. These two core classes are prerequisites for most elective courses.
  • DO I NEED TO COMPLETE INTRO TO THEATER-1 & -2 BEFORE I CAN BE IN A SHOW?  No - kids can participate in a show WHILE enrolled in a core class. In other words, even if it’s your child's first time at Stage Kids, they could take Intro to Theater-1 AND be in the show at the same time! We offer Intro to Theater-1 on Mondays and Intro to Theater-2 on Tuesdays so core classes can be taken the hour before show rehearsal time. 

Independent Instruction

Stage Kids partners with great private vocal instructors to offer one-on-one training as well! In order to have your child's private voice instruction satisfy the class requirement for participation in a Spotlight Production, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Register here. (This registration alone does not enroll your child for private voice lessons.)
Step 2: Arrange private vocal lessons with one of our recommended vocal instructors* or with the vocal instructor of your choice. (You will need to ensure that your child completes 8 separate lessons over the course of 8 weeks.)
Step 3: Submit the Independent Private Instructor Form (which you will receive via email after registration). This form must be filled out by the vocal instructor after the 8 weeks of lessons have been completed. Once the form is complete, please email it to info@stagekidswa.org or mail to Devorah Nelson, PO 1794, Wenatchee, WA 98807. (We will accept a maximum of 10 private instruction students during this winter season.)

“Class Act”

Stage Kids Shows

Come see a Show Or join the cast!

Hello, Stage Kids family and new friends! Below you will find information on current and upcoming shows to keep your child learning, growing, and laughing this year!

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 year!

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!

We've made some exciting changes to accommodate the demand for our Stage Kids programs! Please check out the links below for answers to questions you may have, or for help determining which programs your kids could sign up for. We hope this helps!
