WHAT ARE THE  BENEFITS OF STAGE AND WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT THAN OTHER THEATER  EXPERIENCES?
The main mission of STAGE is to use the medium of theater (and the arts) to teach about God and the message of love. It is based on the Call to Artists by John Paul II. Our theater team of professional adults, work with this philosophy in order to give the students a full experience of learning about theater, dance, and music, while having the fun of expressing it to others. It gives them an opportunity to hone their art, develop confidence, experience their faith in a lively and productive way, and learn about teamwork in a positive environment that focuses on Godly virtues.

S.T.A.G.E. makes every effort to produce a high quality show  with superb music and choreography, great costumes, and colorful sets with creative lighting and sound. We pride ourselves on thinking outside the theater box at times, to give the audience a fresh taste of live performance, especially  with kids! With over fifteen years under our belt, the STAGE team is committed  to providing each student with one on one time to learn their part, along with  many group activities to give them a fun, social experience throughout the four  weeks, all in the Spirit of S.T.A.G.E.!   Come join the fun this summer and be a part of S.T.A.G.E.!
