On Stage engages students through theater-based discussions to build future theater audiences

On Stage: Creating a Community Dialogue Around Live Theater is designed to make local theater relevant to younger and non-traditional audiences and to lay the groundwork for building future theater attendance.

On Stage brings actors to classrooms and community settings (now online). Actors read scenes from a play in current local production followed by a lively discussion of the themes tying in current events, personal values and narratives, and stimulating critical thinking. Subsequently attending the full play is encouraged.
