DescIn 1987, First Stage began as a small theater company with a goal of providing professional theater for young people and families. Now in its 32nd season, First Stage is one of the nations acclaimed professional theaters for young audiences, and the second largest theater company in Milwaukee. First Stage offers a ten-play season of professional theater for young people and families with titles chosen for their educational content, social significance, and their ability to spark conversation at home and in classrooms. Classroom teachers use a field trip to First Stage as means to help develop literacy and enhance learning across the curriculum, including teacher enrichment guides and workshop opportunities that align each play to key Common Core State Standards and Wisconsin Model Academic Standards.In the 2017-2018 fiscal year, over 62,000 individuals among 425 school groups attended our school matinee performances at our theater (at ticket prices over 63% below our public prices). Over 56,000 individuals attended our public performances, as single or season ticket buyers or as part of a public group (e.g., Girl Scout troops). In total, First Stage held 438 performances and performed before 120,505 people.In 2017-2018, First Stage continued its commitment to new play development with two world premiere productions: ANTARCTICA, WI; JUDY MOODY & STINK: THE MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD TREASURE HUNT (a co-commission among seven Theatres for Young Audiences across the nation); and four readings of new plays in development, which were open to the public and free of admission to attend. Audiences responded favorably at the box office with our spring musical THE WIZ, which sold NEARLY 22,000 tickets among 21 public and 31 school performances, filling public performances to 84% capacity, exceeding projected ticket revenue goals. First Stage continued its Pay What You Choose performances in 2017-2018 to broaden the reach throughout our community and to confirm our commitment to make theater available to all who wish to attend. For each production of our Family Series at the Todd Wehr Theater, there is one performance available with only a minimum suggested donation of $5 per person. First Stage's commitment to make theater available to all also spurred us to grow the number of Sensory Friendly performances for patrons on the autism spectrum or with other developmental differences. These performances feature a welcoming environment including modified sound and lighting, and available quiet areas staffed by experienced educators.First Stage Young Company the Theater Academys advanced actor training program for high school students produced TWO full-scale productions during the 2017-2018 season: THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH and Shakespeares HENRY V.In addition to enriching the lives of our audiences, First Stage practices age-appropriate casting (i.e., roles of children will be played by young performers alongside professional theater artists, directors and designers). In the 2017-2018 season, 184 children performed on our professional stages, thus providing them with enriched experiences of teamwork and responsibility but also giving our audience a more realistic storytelling experience.Desc

DescTheater arts have an intrinsic potential to teach important life skills such as self-confidence, discipline, commitment, and teamwork. Having access to theater professionals with the unique ability and passion for working with children, First Stage founded the Theater Academy in 1992. The goal of the Academy is to teach life skills through stage skills. Academy classes are offered year-round to help children build character, develop leadership skills and increase emotional intelligence. The Theater Academy has been proven to help students in school by improving Emotional Intelligence scores (self-awareness, respect for self and others, team work, etc.) and instilling 21st century workforce skills (collaboration, critical thinking, increased communication, flexibility and creative thinking). First Stage Academy offers a journey of self-discovery and helps children maximize their own potential in a safe environment surrounded by adult mentors and positive peers.In the 2017-2018 fiscal year, First Stage offered classes with contact hours ranging from 8 to 140 hours each, for over 2,400 enrollments for approximately 1,700 children, approximately 35% of which were from the City of Milwaukee and 23% of which were in need of financial assistance in order to attend. First Stage has never turned away a student due to a family's inability to pay costs associated with classes. Through donations, First Stage was able to provide nearly $168,000 in financial aid to help with tuition, transportation, and lunches for over 372 students or 630 enrollments. First Stage's Theater Academy holds classes year-round. Several of its more unique programs are described below, as well as achievements in the recent season:* Next Steps was established in 2012 as a musical theatre and acting program designed specifically for students on the autism spectrum. Next Steps provides an opportunity for students to develop social skills and artistic expression in a welcoming and supportive environment. Next Steps Academy classes are held as week-long sessions during Spring Break and Summer, and as one-hour Saturday classes during the School Year. * First Stage's Student Advisory Board was created in 2013-2014 out of a need for the students voice to be heard in making decisions about Academy programming and policies. By 2014-2015 the SAB doubled in size and added an opportunity beginning in 2015-2016 for two representatives to sit on the First Stage Board of Directors.* Each summer, Theater Academy students embark on their Kid-to-Kid campaign. Over the course of 8 weeks, the students donate their dollars and coins, hold fund-raisers, make challenges to one another, etc., to raise money for the Family Partnership Program, which offers financial aid to students who need financial support. And beginning in 2014, Academy staff now holds annual Kid-to-Kid Cabarets, where the staff helps to raise money for financial aid through performing in a cabaret night. This event, along with the student's annual Kid-to-Kid campaign, raises several thousand dollars to support young people in the Family Partnership Program.* 2015-2016 saw the official beginning of the Community Learning Center at a local school. The Academy co-developed this after-school arts program at Kluge Elementary school with the First Stage Education department. Focusing on Voice and Movement, Scene Study, Creative Drama, and Musical Theater the program allowed us to help these K-5th grade students gain confidence, empathy, critical thinking, and literacy skills. During the 2017 summer, Kluge held a six-week summer program for students, with a full day of arts programming available for City of Milwaukee students, weekly field trips, and daily breakfast and lunch all free of charge. Kluge saw an average of 65 students entering K5-5th grade each day attend our programming. * First Stage expanded its Academy programming in 2016-2017 to include Franklin, Layton Boulevard West Neighborhoods, and partnered with the Jewish Community Center. This expansion continued through the 2017-2018 season. * In 2015-2016, First Stage began its Teaching Artist Fellowship program, recruiting three theater/theater education graduates from across the country to participate in a volunteer program for one year to receive theater education training and acting opportunities. The Fellowship program is an endeavor on the part of First Stage to build diversity into its teaching and acting pool, while providing recent college graduates with training from the nation's top theater academy. In 2017-2018, First Stage expanded the program to include our Production department hiring a Fellow for both the technical and artistic elements. And in the summer of 2017, and after the completion of her Fellowship with First Stage, one of our Fellows was hired on in a full-time capacity with First Stage as teaching artist in the Theater Academy. * As discussed above in Theater Productions, First Stage Young Company the Theater Academys advanced actor training program for high school students produced two full-scale productions during the 2017-2018 season.* A portion of the Young Company has competed each October since 2008 in the Shakespeare Competition at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah. The competition gives junior and high school students from around the nation a chance to present material from Shakespearean literature in various artistic forms. This work is adjudicated by professionals in their fields, who also offer various workshops that can be attended for university credit.Desc

DescFirst Stage knows that the arts can be used as a powerful vehicle for in-school learning, rather than detached from traditional curriculum as an extra. Drama in particular effortlessly lends itself to integration with literature and language arts. First Stage does not go into classrooms and teach drama, but rather uses theater as an effective medium to teach academic subject matter. First Stage has the unique ability to use theater activities to present curriculum effectively to all types of learners visual, auditory and kinesthetic. In addition, classroom teachers have an ongoing concern about standardized testing. In response, First Stage offers programs that boost critical literacy skills, increase state standardized test scores and help teachers learn new and creative ways to teach. As schools are forced to spend less on arts programming, these programs cleverly blend the arts with existing curriculum making it a win-win for teachers that are under pressure to cover a great deal of material and for students that thrive when they are allowed to express themselves and use their natural creativity in the classroom. The Theater-in-Education programs are also run by skilled and nationally respected leaders. Education Director, Julia Magnasco serves on the Board of Theatre for Young Audiences/USA the United States center for the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People. As a professional membership organization with 50 years of service to the field, TYA/USA is known for One Theatre World, TYA/USAs national festival, and TYA Today, a nationally and internationally respected magazine for the field of theatre for young people. Ms. Magnasco was also recently selected as one of the Forty Under Forty award recipients by the Milwaukee Business Journal.In the 2017-2018 fiscal year, First Stage's teaching artists reached over 16,000 students in 98 schools with over 3,300 workshops, and 695 programming hours. Many of these students also attended our matinee performances described above, plus approximately 2,300 students were involved in our Literacy and Literacy Plus programs and 6,052 students were part of our subsidized Connections outreach program, which develops creative thinking, logical reasoning, public speaking, and Emotional Intelligence. In addition to helping to educate children, First Stage provided professional development to over 550 teachers in local schools.In 2017-2018, First Stage's Theater in Education department continued and expanded the following programs: Afterschool Community Learning Center (CLC) at Kluge Elementary School: This season's third year of programming was again approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and supported by federal funds through the Milwaukee Public School system and the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program. First Stage served 75 students at Kluge Elementary five days a week from September through May. Using theater arts, First Stage worked to strengthen students academic achievement, enhance job readiness skills, promote character development, and empower parents to play an active role in their childrens education. First Stage provided Theater Academy classes, arts-integrated literacy programs, and character development workshops targeted towards improving students low standardized test scores (a key goal in Milwaukee Public Schools district improvement plan). During the 2017 summer, Kluge held a six-week summer program for students, with a full day of arts programming available for City of Milwaukee students, weekly field trips, and daily breakfast and lunch all free of charge. Kluge saw an average of 65 students entering K5-5th grade each day attend our programming.Literacy Plus Program a hybrid of the existing Literacy Residency and the Connections program: Over the course of 14 weeks, First Stages Literacy Residencies develop critical literacy skills among students to increase achievement on standardized tests and enhancing their overall comprehension and retention of grade appropriate English Language Arts Model Academic Standards. The Connections program is a partially subsidized program that offers tickets to any school performance, bussing to that performance, pre and post-show workshops, teaching-through-theater workshops, and teaching guides for the classroom teachers. For many educators, the 14-week Literacy program was too large of a commitment. And a fieldtrip was a real desire on behalf of the class. So the Literacy Plus program, which has 7 weeks of literacy residency and a trip to the theater, quickly became the right product for many classrooms in Milwaukee. During its third year (2017-2018), First Stages Literacy Plus Program took place in 116 classrooms, with approximately 2,300 students. Little Actors: In the 2017-2018 year, First Stage piloted the Little Actors program with 6 classrooms. Little Actors is a six-week program designed for younger children (grades K3 1) that uses stories as the springboard for learning. First Stage is the only youth serving organization in Milwaukee that offers a multi-week, theater-based program specifically targeted to improving elementary students literacy development through true arts-integrated instruction. Through six 40-minute Little Actors sessions, students engage in drama-based activities such as imaginary play, song and dance, artwork, and role play. By being actively immersed in the telling of simple and well-loved stories, students develop and reinforce their understanding of fundamental language comprehension skillsspeaking, listening, retelling, and moreas outlined in the English Language Arts Common Core State Standards.Throughout the past three years, the Milwaukee Public School District (MPS) has struggled to find ample arts specialists to fill the open positions in the district. MPS and their Fine Arts Manager have been working with select arts organizations, including First Stage, to provide arts in these schools through their Fill the Gaps initiative. This initiative allows schools to use the funding budgeted this year for specialists on arts-based residencies provided by community arts organizations. First Stage worked closely with MPS and Arts@Large to provide arts programming for six MPS schools throughout the 2017-2018 school year, supplying continual arts programming throughout the school year and for multiple grade levels. In 2015, MPS was given the prestigious honor of becoming at Turnaround Arts District. This national initiative focuses on infusing schools with low test scores with arts programming and arts learning opportunities, with the goal of engaging students and families in their school community, providing educators with new tools to help students better regulate behavior and relate to their curriculum, and ultimately boosting academic scores. First Stage provided the four schools in the Turnaround Arts initiative in Milwaukee with four separate Professional Development opportunities for the teachers, arts integrated residencies at three of the four schools, and we also provided production support for two of the Turnaround Arts schools, assisting them on the production of their school-wide musical performances. In addition, in 2017-2018, the Education Department provided the four Turnaround Arts Schools with ongoing weekly coaching, in which First Stage teaching artists would visit MPS teachers to coach and model arts-integrated strategies in the classroom and work with them on planning arts integrated classroom units of study.Desc
