Welcome to StageTime Theatre School!
Founded and directed by Janet Bresnahan, StageTime Theatre School is a youth theatre arts training program dedicated to providing children and teens with quality performing arts education in a positive and encouraging environment. Since the early 1990s, StageTime has produced well over 75 shows, including Shrek the Musical, Oliver!, The Wizard of Oz, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, Finding Nemo, and SpongeBob SquarePants. More than 700 students have participated in StageTime productions and training programs.
StageTime holds three sessions each year: a Fall Session (September thru December) a Winter Session (January thru March), and a week-long Summer School Session in July that concludes with two mini productions performed in the city park.
StageTime emphasizes both performance skills and personal growth through hands-on theatrical experience. Students receive instruction in voice, movement, singing, choreography, and improvisation techniques while learning the discipline, teamwork, and confidence that come through live performance. Every student who registers for a session is cast in the production, ensuring that all participants have the opportunity to perform and develop their skills onstage. Students are also involved in many aspects of the production process, helping them gain a broader understanding of theatre arts and stage production. Experienced high school performers are often chosen to direct productions, providing leadership opportunities for advanced students while serving as mentors for younger participants.

Students not cast in a Conservatory production are encouraged to participate in technical theatre areas such as lighting, sound, stage management, and backstage operations, reinforcing the importance of every role involved in bringing a production to the stage. Registration for StageTime's Teen Conservatory begins in July.
