Artist Residency

Stages Theatre can design a flexible program custom-tailored to fit your needs and will come to you! Youth of all ages can build an appreciation of theatre as an art form while developing important social skills like leadership, teamwork and cooperation. Stages Theatre artists create a positive, supportive and nurturing atmosphere in which students are challenged to reach new levels of curricular understanding in and through the performing arts. Any of Stages Theatre's residency programs for educators are easily adaptable for work with homeschool children.

Artist residencies provide opportunities students and parents to work closely with skilled theatre artists. These high-quality, creative drama programs assist in expanding your own arts curriculum. Students are challenged in a positive, supportive and constructive atmosphere that culminates in a final demonstration of skills. Each program is customized to the needs of your particular group.
