A Magical Journey Thru Stages
Celebrate Stages 2025
Thank you for joining us on Sunday, May 4, 2025!
We were so excited to welcome everyone to Celebrate Stages! We had a very successful evening, and we hope to formally announce the results soon! And you can still make a donation!
Our annual entertaining, family-friendly event to celebrate who we are and what we do was held this year on Sunday, May 4,2025, 5:00-7:30 p.m. at Cathedral Hall on the 4th Floor of the West Herr Performing Arts Center (1 floor up from Stages)!
We enjoyed time with Stages friends, saw amazing performances by Stages artistic staff and students, discovered the show lineup for next season, honored a super volunteer, helped raise funds for our very special youth theater, and more! And it's not too late to donate!

What a great year we have had, with live 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.
Please give generously! We welcome donations of any amount.
Double your donation: All donations of $500 or more will be matched, up to a total of $15,000! Thank you!
