ABOUT
Michigan Stage is a 501(c)3 professional non-profit theater arts organization offering year-round productions and programming throughout Metro-Detroit. Our mission is to use theater to culturally enhance the quality of life in our region and to boost reading and learning outcomes for students across Michigan through strategic community partnerships.
Our Theater For All initiative presents exciting ways for anyone to engage with live theater, regardless of age, ability or access, helping community members forge social connections, pursue creative lifestyles, nurture a sense of belonging and pride, and establish pathways to a life enriched by the arts and humanities.
We believe in the transformative power of theater to unite people, to ignite our innate sense of curiosity, and to revitalize our community. We create bold theatrical experiences that connect and inspire, making Broadway accessible locally, and developing the next generation of artists and audiences.
We believe in the power of theater to revitalize humanity, we believe people have more to offer than just their attention, and we believe communities thrive with more opportunities to create, witness, and be part of live theater.
Our flagship program is our Playlabs, offered after-school on a pay-what-you-can basis, serving communities from all over the metro Detroit area.
Our new in-school residencies, augmenting public school education and expanding literary instruction, are offered classroom-takeover-style during the school day, where classrooms explore an existing story and bring the action to life through a short play.
We also offer Talkin’ Broadway, our free monthly play reading and discussion program, and Broadway in the Burbs, our annual summer festival proving Broadway quality entertainment directly to our local community.
