What a great year we have had, with live in-person theater performances, new classes, and summer camps! We hope you'll agree that Stages provides valuable experiences to our students as they develop self-confidence, teamwork, empathy, friendships, and theater skills.

Unlike many other local youth theater programs, A Magical Journey Thru Stages is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to provide high-quality youth theater experiences to the children in the Greater Rochester area. We have successfully pursued grants and other assistance to help with many of our staffing and facility needs, but as many of the COVID-era grants are expiring, donations from individuals and organizations is important.

Your tax-deductible gift to Stages helps us:

buy production rights for next year's shows
pay our student-focused artistic staff
promote our high-quality family-friendly programs
provide a safe and inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive
invest in technology to improve performances, parent experience, and operations.
