Center Stage Wall of Fame

Hey! Remember back in the day when you actually went in to the lobby at Center Stage? And you’d see those pretty faces on the wall smiling at you? No, not our faculty (though them too). Our Wall of Fame! Those are the headshots and short biographies of our alumni who have gone on to have stunning careers in performing arts.

So, now nobody’s in the lobby, and the writing on those posters is pretty tiny (and my eyes are old). So I was thinking maybe I’d put together a list of all of the shows, theatres and dance companies that our alumni have graced. So here goes!

WE CAN’T WAIT for theatres to reopen so that all of these amazing performers get back to doing what they do best. We are so proud of our alumni!
