7 Stages Theatre

Little Five Points Theater With an Activist Heart

7 Stages Theatre has anchored the Little Five Points arts scene on Euclid Avenue for over 40 years, and its youth programs lean into what makes the company distinct - socially engaged theater, international exchange, and community-rooted performance training.

Youth Programs

Rather than traditional summer camps, 7 Stages offers pathway-style programs for young performers:
- Youth Creates - ongoing youth performer program including a yearly Dutch-American youth exchange
- Arts Fusion - free in-school teaching-artist residencies (grade school through university)
- Art of Activism - performance training combined with social engagement for young artists
- Internships and apprenticeships for teens and emerging artists

What's Included

• Professional teaching artists working in the same building as mainstage productions
• Opportunities to travel and collaborate with international peers
• Mentorship from working theater professionals, directors, and designers
• Community-based projects that put youth voices on a real stage

Experience

This isn't a kids-in-Annie summer camp - it's a training ground for young artists who want theater to mean something. Teens who care about identity, politics, and storytelling thrive here. Worth calling (404) 523-7647 to find the right entry point for your teen.
