Shaping the lives of children and young adults through performing arts

By encouraging creativity and recognizing the uniqueness of each child and young adult that come through our doors, STAGES Performing Arts Youth Academy shapes lives in a positive direction.

We offer a strong educational program taught by exceptional teachers who develop classes and workshops that foster a deeper appreciation of performing arts and the technical aspects of theatre. All that come to STAGES will be treated in a kind and respectful manner and practice professional theatre etiquette.

Encouraging Creativity & Recognizing Uniqueness.

It is our goal to make STAGES an integral part of Hillsboro’s art and culture community, making Hillsboro a better place to raise children.

During the COVID shutdown, our talented actors got together (remotely) to perform songs from two popular plays.  Follow the links below to watch and listen.
