Performances
Each year Center Stage is the host of a wide variety of Performances:
Our Main stage production is designed for older children and teens and is performed in a local performing arts center. Center Stage shows are not dance recitals, they are Broadway in New Jersey! Not only does our end of the year show demonstrate our students’ growth, it also provides each and every one of them the experience of professional theatre. At Center Stage we think that our shows are in a class by themselves; but don’t take our word for it. Chris Scherer, reviewing our show in the Home News, said that our “Dance program at (the) State Theatre is out of this world” and that Center Stage “may have changed the stodgy old dance recital program forever.” Come on down and see for yourself. We guarantee you will catch the Center Stage Fever!
