Outreach Programs

STAGES @ School is a program offered to schools throughout the St. Louis region which brings STAGES artists into the classroom or after-school program. Workshops and multi-week residencies are available on a variety of topics ranging from technical theatre to careers in the arts, as well as instruction in acting, dance or musical theatre. In addition to providing training in a selected topic, STAGES @ School programs instill in students a love for the arts and a respect for the craft of the theatre professional.

Access the Arts

Unique within the St. Louis region, STAGES’ Access the Arts programs consist of classes, workshops and performance opportunities that enable area youth with physical, cognitive or developmental delays to fully participate in the musical theatre arts.

Celebrate with a TWIST!

A STAGES Academy birthday party consists of an hour and a half rental of the facility which includes 45 minutes of age-appropriate music, dance or acting activities led by one of our teaching artists.  We can plan your celebration around particular themes, books, etc...whatever fits the fancy of the birthday kid!  Scheduling is arranged on an as-available basis. Contact the Academy for details at 636.530.5959.
