OUR MISSION
We believe in the potential that is within all of the participants of the Sage Stage Programs. Through theater games, improvisations and story telling, participants share their life stories and then create scenes in a rich and stimulating environment.
OUR GOAL
At Sage Stage Productions one of our primary goals is to create a relationship with people as individuals so that each and every participant can feel comfortable within the programs. And the important thing? Is to have fun, of course!
