2023-2024 Annual Giving

Please support Stages as we begin our 2023-2024 annual giving campaign.

We have a wonderful new season of shows and tech classes this season. We can't wait for you to see them at Stages, the stellar, year-round, nonprofit youth theater organization in Rochester, where the only goal is providing high-quality theater opportunities for children and teens.

How can your gift to Stages help us? By giving, you help us:

  • Seek out and hire great, child- and teen- focused artistic teams;
  • Obtain rights for the best shows;
  • Innovate and react to outside challenges;
  • Invest in new technology and high-quality lighting, sound, sets, and props;
  • Provide a safe and inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive; and
  • Attract a diverse and talented group of young performers, providing financial assistance so students who need it can participate.

Thank you in advance. We appreciate your generous support.
