EDUCATION: Access The Arts & Troupe Broadway
 

Unique within the St. Louis region, STAGES’ Access the Arts programs consist of classes, workshops and performance opportunities that enable area youth with physical, cognitive or developmental delays to fully participate in the musical theatre arts.

Dedicated to developing participants’ skills in acting, singing, dance (and thereby the related areas of communication skills, speech and gross motor development) Access the Arts programs feature traditional musical theatre courses adapted to meet the needs of all participants. 

Taught by professionally trained teaching artists and special educators, Access the Arts includes year-round once-a-week classes, multi-week summer workshops as well as the performing ensemble Troupe Broadway.

In addition to these specialized programs, STAGES also welcomes all students to participate in any Academy class or workshop in an inclusive environment.  For more information on specialized and inclusive class opportunities, please call the Academy at 636.530.5959 or visit our online course guide.

Troupe Broadway

STAGES Performing Arts Academy’s Troupe Broadway is a performing ensemble comprised of area teens and young adults with physical cognitive or developmental delays. Created in the Fall of 2006, this unique program provides on-stage performance experience to students who have not traditionally been provided this special opportunity through their school or other community outlets.

a revue of classic musical theatre material which is performed throughout the St. Louis area and beyond.
