Description: Children's Theatre from Daytona Beach. Center Stage Theatricals, was formed as an LLC in the Spring of 2008. It stemmed from the Volusia County Community Schools' Summer Musical Theatre Camp for Children. Under the Community Schools, the program existed for nearly 10 years. Due to the recent school board budget cuts, the Community Schools program was dissolved, as were many of the programs that fell under it's umbrella. Knowing the importance of performing arts programs for youth, and seeing these programs cut from the public schools; Center Stage Theatricals; featuring Center Stage Kids was created to pick up where the Community Schools' Summer Musical Theatre Camp left off. Center Stage began it’s inaugural season in the summer of '08 with an enrollment of 98 students and productions of Grease and Disney's Mulan Jr. to sold out audiences. As a small, independent theatrical organization, Center Stage Theatricals is one of the very few in the county that receives no outside sources of income from the city, county, schools, etc., but retains the simple goal: to bring unique theatrical opportunities to as many to children and families as possible, to promote the power and benefits of the performing arts, and to be an asset to the community. Last November, Center Stage Theatricals’ production of Disney’s Aladdin KIDS raised over $1000.00 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and over $500 for a local elementary school music department
