For nearly four decades, First Stage has relied on the support of generous donors like you to help us share the magic of live theater with our community.

Through our professional productions, unparalleled Theater Academy training, and robust Theater in Education programs, we strive to help our young people grow not just as artists, but as leaders. 

This spring, we are especially thankful for the leadership and generosity of Kristin and Charles Severson, and Jack Miller and Courtenay Kessler, who have come together to create a $50,000 matching gift for our Spring Campaign.

The Seversons have supported First Stage for years through their service and generosity, and their adult children grew up here. Jack, our Board Chair-Elect, and Courtenay, a Parent Guild member, are part of First Stage today as their children learn and perform here now. Together, these families reflect the multi-generational impact of First Stage and a shared belief in its future.
