Youth Theatre · Grades K–12

Anderson’s Mainstage Academy offers workshops and productions designed to help students build confidence, develop performance skills, and experience the joy of live theatre. Programs are open to students in grades K–12, with opportunities for every age and experience level.

We also offer opportunities for youth to participate in some of our regular-season productions.
