The Shared Theater Arts Grand Experience (STAGE)
The STAGE program is an after-school program at each elementary school, where students audition, rehearse, and perform a full-scale musical production. Students learn teamwork, self-confidence, and various theater techniques during the rehearsal process. Students perform for their school and their families.
