“Come and engage in the playful discovery of the “Performing Arts Experience,” says Lynn Knudsen, NextStage Co-Founder. We transform attitudes towards aging from the traditional image of decline to a new vision of continuous growth, happiness, and well being.”

NextStage Productions uses the performing arts to bring positive energy to the way people view or experience aging. Their mission is to contribute to the arts and the community by making theatre more accessible to older artists and audiences. They educate and celebrate the talents of seniors who participate in theatre arts.

Their innovative workshops have a dramatic impact on a wide range of communities. Their theatre based programs range from empowering students through storytelling, to helping seniors reclaim their dignity with creative expression.
