Throughout the school year, we offer two different programs: StagelightPLUS in multiple locations (Chester Springs & West Chester) and StagelightUNIVERSITY in West Chester.
Both programs for the Winter 2024 session are detailed below.
An opportunity for performers in grades 3-8 to be individually trained and featured in singing, acting, and dancing! Taught over the course of 8 sessions in 4 weeks time, the performers will put together a showcase of Kids on Broadway to perform for friends and family at the end. Every student is guaranteed a solo speaking and singing line!
Session begins April 2nd and runs for 4 weeks every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:15-7:15pm at our Chester Springs location.
Performances will take place on April 25th at 6:00pm and 7:00pm. All ticket sales to the showcase will serve as a fundraiser to benefit SALT 2.0
This is an exclusive opportunity for 35 youth. Since the rehearsal schedule is limited, conflicts with the schedule cannot be accepted.
Cost: $300 per student
At StagelightPLUS, students in Grades K-8 can put on a FULL SHOW PRODUCTION (Disney’s The Aristocats!), all while receiving professional instruction in singing, acting, and dancing. Our goal is to expose children to the performing arts while uplifting their confidence and giving them a great time! This program is perfect for kids who are either just getting started in the Performing Arts, are doing it for the fun and confidence-building, are exploring this field as a hobby, or want the chance to shine on the stage! Based on the beloved Disney animated film, and featuring a jazzy, upbeat score, Disney’s The Aristocats is a non-stop thrill ride of feline fun, complete with unbelievable twists and turns and roles to shine for everyone!
