First Stage

Our Academy

First Stage Theater Academy is the nation’s largest high impact theater training program for young people. We foster life skills through stage skills through classes emphasizing Creative Drama, Stage Movement, Voice, Speech, Scene Study, and so much more. Professional theater artists from around the country join us every year to share their expertise and guidance to young performers of all ages and experience, supporting our philosophy of life skills through stage skills.

What is the Academy all about?

In the spring of 2020, we pivoted to fully virtual programming:

Over the Summer of 2020, we offered both virtual and on-site programming. After a very safe and successful 9 weeks of programming, we are proud to continue offering both formats of classes.

We will be maintaining and exceeding all CDC guildines without exception, as the health and safety of students, First Stage, and MYAC staff is our highest priority. Further information regarding policies will be sent to registered families.
