Celebrate Stages 2026

Thank you for joining us on Sunday, April 12, 2026!

We were so excited to welcome everyone to Celebrate Stages!

Our annual entertaining, family-friendly event to celebrate who we are and what we do was held this year on Sunday, April 12,2026, 5:00-7:30 p.m. at Cathedral Hall on the 4th Floor of the West Herr Performing Arts Center!

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 YOU CAN STILL CONTRIBUTE!

Event Program

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 donations from individuals and organizations are equally as important to achieve our mission.

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!
