Thank you
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to you and your family for allowing your young person to participate in First Stage's productions. Without our talented and dedicated young performers, these productions would not be possible. Through age-appropriate casting, young and young-at-heart audience members will experince the joy of seeing someone like themselves on stage. This truly helps support our mission of transforming lives through theater.
If you have any questions througout the rehearsal or performance process, please do not hesitate to reach out to your stage manager. They should be your first point of contact moving forward.
Thank you again!
