About the Main Stage Series...
The Main Stage Series is our flagship program where folks of all ages and abilities get to participate in fully produced musical theatre productions in professional venues. Our MainStage casts typically consist of young children, middle and high schoolers, parents, adults with careers unrelated to theatre, and up-and-coming and professional artists. These diverse sets of individuals, from all walks of life and experiences, come together as one community to put on fantastic theatre and build incredible bonds and friendships.
Our Creative Team members bring with them substantial experiences in educational and professional theatre that have made them masters of their respective creative disciplines. These Teacher-Artists are adept at nurturing performers of all skill levels and ages in order to build them up for success in their performance abilities and time on stage. Our goal is to create an environment where each individual feels safe to learn, grow, risk, and have fun while engaging with this art form that teaches empathy, compassion, discipline, confidence, and interpersonal skills.
