Stages will open its doors in the fall of 2010. Its focus will be on education, offering a variety of theatre classes to children in grades k-12. The classes will focus on basic theatre education, however we will have some specialty classes such as musical theatre. The instructors will people who not only have a passion for theatre, but experience working with children and expertise in their particular field. At least two of our teachers are credited teachers in the state of Oregon.
Stages will also offer a season of shows where the children taking the classes can put the skills learned to use on the stage. Many of the shows will be open auditions. Watch for audition announcments for our first show.
As Stages grows we plan on offering a variety of performance opportunities for children. Our educational program will evolve into an exciting and rigorous program. We would love to have you be a part of our beginnings and growth. If you’d like to help out in any way feel free to contact the Artistic/Education Director Donald Cleland and let him know how you would like use your skills and talents.
Currently we are looking for a location to hold our classes and performances. If you know of any place in the Hillsboro, Oregon area please contact STAGES at stages.4.youth@gmail.com, or you can go the “Contact” page of this website.
Stages will be an integral part of Hillsboro’s art culture and a wonderful place for children and families. Helping to make Hillsboro a better place to raise children.
