What is WonderStage?
WonderStage is an after-school theatre program that encourages students to learn by trying. Our mission is to create theatre that celebrates the individual and cultivates collaboration. Participants will gain performance, communication, and collaboration skills, through crafting their own unique stories and using literature to create and share performances with an audience.
Each week, students will have the chance to celebrate their individual uniqueness, develop traditional theatre skills, and practice navigating positive social skills and coping strategies. Instruction is provided by theatre education professionals and students from SUU and the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
WonderStage is FREE for North Elementary students to participate. At the end of the 10-week WonderStage session, participating students will have the opportunity to display their work and perform their creations.
