First Stage will close its milestone 40th Season with MTI’s Broadway Junior Revue: Pure Imagination — a joyful celebration featuring songs from musicals that have inspired generations of young people, families, and artists across our 40-year history.
This special show will reflect and honor the many stories that make up First Stage: the inspiring productions, Academy classes, in-school workshops, young performers, teaching artists, families, alumni, and audiences who have been part of our journey.
IN ORDER TO TELL OUR STORY, WE NEED YOUR STORY.
We are collecting photos, videos, and memories from patrons, actors, teachers, families, and alumni to be considered for use in projections during the production. Together, these moments will help tell the collective story of First Stage.
PHOTOS & VIDEOS
Share photos or videos that capture your First Stage experience. This could include memories from your time in Academy, cast photos, behind-the-scenes moments, or photos of First Stage teachers bringing theater into your school.
ALUMNI
Are you a First Stage alum? We would love for you to record a short video sharing a favorite First Stage memory, what First Stage means to you, or how First Stage has helped put those "life skills through stage skills" into action.
WRITING
For those who wish to share a written testimonial about what First Stage means to you, or how First Stage has impacted your life, you are invited to send reflections to myfirststagestory@firststage.org.
