Stages produces inclusive, high-quality theater programs for a diverse group of 800+ students in the Greater Rochester Area while engaging approximately 8,000 audience members annually.

We teach professional theater for students who have a passion to perform or be involved behind-the-scenes.

At Stages, students will be surrounded by talented cast-mates and crew from all over Monroe and neighboring counties.

Our programs include 9 full theater productions, summer camps, improv troupes, technical training, open mic nights, and specialized workshops & classes each year.

Our dedicated staff, artistic teams, and volunteers work cohesively to support students: expanding their creative talents, building self-confidence, and encouraging personal growth.

Tuition assistance is available for economically disadvantaged youth.

Youth also assist with the technical aspects of our shows, including stage management, light design, sound design, costume design, and stage crew.

Our teams have extremely high expectations of our students and require dedication, commitment, and teamwork to make a show successful.

In order to teach and model the importance of philanthropy, we collect items during every performance to benefit local youth charities.
