The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is thrilled to announce the continuation of its celebrated tradition, as the Center Stage High School Musical Theater Program enters its ninth year with a remarkable expansion to include 34 participating high schools from Northeastern Wisconsin. Schools participating for the first time include Gibraltar, Howards Grove, Sheboygan Falls and Valders.
"Expanding to include 34 high schools this year is a testament to the program's growing impact and the vibrant talent within our community," said Chief Programming Officer Amy Gosz. "Through the Center Stage Program, students gain invaluable experiences and forge lasting connections with their peers, enriching their passion for theater and contributing to a more united and supportive community."
Since its inception in 2016, the Center Stage High School Musical Theater Program has aimed to honor and support the accomplishments of high school musical theater while fostering confidence, creativity, and collaboration among students throughout Northeast Wisconsin. This year's program offers a rich array of educational opportunities for students and educators to refine their skills and grow together.
Students will engage in a variety of learning experiences, including a dance workshop led by local professionals and additional workshops with touring arts experts. Some students will be selected as Student Ambassadors or invited to join the auditioned ensemble, Encore Singers, performing at Center-hosted and community events.
The season will culminate in a Tony Awards-style showcase at the Center on May 17, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the Center Stage High School Musical Theater Showcase will go on sale Wednesday, September 25, at 10:00 a.m.
