With twice weekly rehearsals (Mon/Thurs), First Stage actors have the opportunity to build a sense of community while honing the skills they already have, and learning lots of new ones too! And because rehearsals are two hours long (5-7pm), our youngest actors are able to balance various activities, school work, and bedtime with their PGT schedule. While kids can look forward to a truly collaborative and joyful process, filled with learning and laughter, parents can plan around their child’s PGT schedule way in advance!
With the amazing team of James Powers (composer) and Ilana Zahava Abusch (playwright) in residence, First Stage will produce three original musicals, in three distinct seasons, staged in our fabulous 120 seat Jonah Mac Theatre. PGT sets, costumes, and props complete the picture during two tech rehearsals (4:30-8:30pm).
First Stage offers a perfect PGT opportunity for actors ages 8-12, who will experience:
First Stage is where the perfect schedule, a ton of learning, and the magic of being in a PGT show all come together for our young actors.
