Dear Students and Parents,Welcome to another exciting year of classes at STAGES Performing Arts Academy! We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to educate students of all ages and abilities in the invaluable art of musical theatre. Here at STAGES, we continuously strive to inspire curiosity, creativity, and passion through high quality instruction and performance opportunities. The Academy has grown tremendously in the past few years and to better accommodate the varied interests and skill sets of our students, we are now categorizing our courses into three focused tracks.Recreational – These introductory classes are for students who love to act, dance, and sing and would just like to try it out for fun! They will learn basic performance technique and have a great time exploring some of their favorite musicals.Fundamental – Entry into these classes will be based on age and skill level, with an isolated focus on each discipline. The students will receive more in depth training in the art of musical theatre, to better prepare them for auditioning and performance. Pre-Professional – These audition-based classes are for intermediate to advanced level students who aspire to become an accomplished musical theatre performer.Thank you for joining us for what promises to be another incredible year in performing arts education!

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas is an original hour-long holiday adventure musical written originally for the Fulton Theatre by Marc Robin and Curt Dale Clark. This enthralling take on the Christmas classic is a singing, dancing holiday fantasy with such icons such as Rudolph and the Abominable Snowman. ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas is a tale about a young girl Charlotte who learns the true meaning of family and the child-like magic of the holidays.

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.

Dedicated to developing participants’ skills in acting, singing, dance (and thereby the related areas of communication skills, speech, and gross motor development), Access the Arts programs feature traditional musical theatre courses adapted to meet the needs of all participants.

Through these efforts and various creative drama exercises, students will continue to develop their performing talents while also refining important motor and communication skills—all in a positive and supportive environment.
