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.!

What is The Good, The Bad, and The Fuzzy about?
Playing off the famous movie, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and the cartoon Dudley Do-Right, we place a good guy, a bad guy, and a relative (Fuzzy Gray) character in the middle of Nowhere!  That's right...the little town of Nowhere set in the Wild West.  True to the Melodramatic form, we have a damsel in distress, along with Seven Outlaws...the Deadly Vice Gang...who plan a bank robbery!
If you are in the mood for a comical Melodrama that teaches the truth of right and wrong, then this silly western is for you!  We will have musical numbers throughout along with a little country dancin' to get the audience hootin' and hollerin'!  This show is designed for kids 10 and up...to even include high school aged performers!  This is a full-length show with intermission

Students 10 and younger, may also consider our second winter show, Lil Red and the Cowboy who Saw the Light.  Another fun musical western with a lighter schedule and shorter show!  A good place to begin STAGE!
