Creative Stage Collective is a Harlem-based organization that brings together kids and professional adult artists to create and perform original works based on the imaginative ideas of children. Through these innovative pieces, we strive to re-connect our audiences to the joy and depth of the imagination of children, challenging them to look at the world from new vantage points, and providing quality entertainment that people of all ages can enjoy together. Creative Stage Collective actively works to promote greater diversity in the performing arts at every level of our company -- from the board of directors, to the artists we work with, to the audiences we serve. Through our multi-generational approach, we are building a community for artists of all ages: where long-lasting mentoring relationship are forged over years and decades; where youth gain vital skills that go well beyond the performing arts, where emerging artists find support, and where people of all ages and backgrounds see themselves and their ideas represented on stage. Through collaborations with leading artists and arts organizations, we continuously challenge ourselves with new ideas as we pursue excellence. We believe that creating together in this way -- incorporating artists from different backgrounds, cultures, ages, and disciplines -- will result in a product that is far richer than the sum of its parts. We believe that creating together brings people together.
