Dear Parents, Welcome to First Stage Theater Academy!

Here at First Stage we believe passionately in theater’s power to transform the lives of young people. Our Summer Theater Academy is an experience like no other with students of all ages coming every day to make new friends, practice new skills, and let their individuality shine!

Our students are the reason we’re here and encouraging them to grow as confident, intelligent, creative, and empathetic art-ists and people is our mission. At First Stage our dedicated and professional faculty and staff work together to create a positive learning environment and strive to meet the unique needs of each student. Our goal is to impart life skills through stage skills, instill a love of learning and creating, and to build a stronger community through engagement in the arts.

Our door is always open and we invite you to drop by often, as we are always happy to meet new families and strengthen our bonds with those we already have the pleasure to know.

We look forward to another great summer!

Auditions will be held throughout July and August, with registration opening in June.

Starting in early June, you can go to www.FirstStage.org/auditions to register for an audition. You may also register by calling the Young Performer Audition hotline at (414) 267-2963. Booking an audition slot in the early part of summer is strongly advised.

SUPPORT FIRST STAGE THEATER ACADEMY Thanks to generous contributions, the Theater Academy was able to offer financial support to over 300 students last season. Your continued generosity helps ensure that interested young people don’t miss out on Academy opportunities due to financial constraints. To make a donation to the First Stage Theater Academy simply fill in an amount on the registration form or call the Development Department at (414) 267-2938 to request a donor envelope.
