Theatre
Programs in Madison County and Beyond
First
Stage Youth Theatre is a community non-profit organization
that develops and sponsors theatre education and experience
programs for children in western North Carolina. So far
this year, more than 300 children have benefited from First
Stage programs.
Though we are based in Madison County, children come from
as far away as Weaverville, Burnsville, and Asheville to
participate in the area's only theatre programs for
children.
Here's a look at our expanded programs for 2009 - 2010.
