MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A CHILD’S LIFE!
Proceeds will be used to finance CenterStage’s newest endeavor, a professional touring Children’s Theatre. The mission is to develop and nurture students through the creativity and appreciation of theatre and to encourage the development of their own creative voice and imagination while exploring the beauty of diversity and challenges of the world around them. The funding raised by Light Up CenterStage will be used not only for production costs but to subsidize fees so that all schools, no matter the socioeconomic level, will be able to participate.
