Dear Theatre Supporter,
Theatre happens wherever creativity thrives, and it’s thriving here in Lincoln!
The Stage was established in 2019 with the intent on bringing high quality arts education to youth children with diverse backgrounds, social economic status, and physical/mental abilities. Our tagline, "Everyone belongs on the stage," shouts our focus to be inclusive of all people at all times.
DIVERSITY: The Stage, a women founded and run business, has staff and workshop students that are affirming and all inclusive, with outreach to persons of color, members of the LGBTQ, and other women owned businesses.
EQUITY: Since our program launched again after the pandemic in June of 2021, we have had the pleasure of awarding 22 financial need scholarships. The arts should never be a place of disparity. When the lights go down, we are all the same.
INCLUSION: Our workshops display our inclusive culture by colorblind casting and hosting fully inclusive workshops that incorporate both neurotypical and neurodivergent actors.
This is where you come in. The Stage seeks support to grow and thrive. The programs you will be supporting include:
THE MINI STAGE: Ages 5-12
