Community Programs & Education

CENTERSTAGE's Education Programs integrate theater into the lives of nearly 10,000 Maryland students each season, inspiring young imaginations through programs that cultivate creative and intellectual potential, while developing a practical understanding of the arts. 

Our programs inform and inspire tomorrow’s audiences, enriching individual lives and ensuring a strong future for the arts in our communities. Participating in meaningful cultural activities as a regular part of a well-rounded educational experience helps to develop empowered creative thinkers—better equipped to thrive in a global marketplace of diverse and rapidly changing ideas. As public schools struggle to provide this exposure in a difficult economic climate, community-based programs such as those offered by CENTERSTAGE become even more essential.
