Our After School Program

Now In Mars Hill and Brush Creek Elementary Schools

One day a week for the entire school year, First Stage’s After School program explores the various aspects of theatrical production.

Your child will have the opportunity to choose from the many elements of theatre production, including:


  • Acting
  • Lighting
  • Costuming
  • Stage management
  • Set design
  • Publicity
  • Playwriting
Each semester finishes with a full on-stage production, created by kids for kids.

Our teachers are working theatre professionals from North Carolina Stage, Flat Rock Playhouse and many other local and national stage companies.

Our program takes place in the Brush Creek Elementary each Monday, Madison Middle School each Tuesdayand Mars Hill Elementary each Thursday when school is in session.
