Our
History
First
Stage was incorporated in September 2007 as the successor
to the SART Guild Youth Theatre, which had its modest
beginning in 2001, with a one week summer session for
children, grades 3 through 12.
In
2006 we partnered with the Madison County school system and
took the Youth Theatre into a year round program. In 2007
our summer Drama Camp expanded to 4 weeks with 92 children
attending. In 2008 we went "on the road" and sponsored a
week long drama camp for our Spring Creek and Hot Springs
neighbors. Our after-school program doubled in size and we
introduced an in-school Shakespeare program at Brush Creek Elementary
for 5th graders. We certainly grew up very fast !
First Stage's commitment to the children of Madison County
is steadfast. We take great pleasure in knowing that our
children have FUN and thoroughly enjoy the theatre
experience, while learning valued life lessons.
We take great pride in knowing that all children,
regardless of economic constraints, can participate in the
theatre experience through our scholarship program.
