The Stage School Theater Programs

The Park District offers theater programs led by professional instructors of The Stage School. Throughout each session, students learn performing arts skills and rehearse a play, musical, or skit that is presented to family and friends at the end of class. Our productions offer fun and challenging roles for performers with all levels of experience. No auditions are required, and all students are placed in a role that allows them to shine.
