For Sponsors & Community Partners

Support the Arts. Empower Young People. Strengthen Our Community.

Stage 2 relies on the generosity of local businesses, families, and organizations who believe in the power of youth theater. Your support provides students ages 13–22 with hands-on arts education, leadership training, performance opportunities, and meaningful service experiences that shape them into confident, creative leaders.

Whether you're making a one-time donation or becoming a full-season sponsor, your contribution makes a lasting impact on our students and the Meridian community.

Donations That Make a Difference

At Stage 2, we believe in the power of community. Every donation supports young performers who are learning, growing, creating, and giving back. When you donate, you’re not just helping us put on shows — you’re helping students discover confidence, develop leadership, and find their voice both on and off the stage.

Your generosity fuels costumes, props, tech equipment, rehearsal supplies, scholarships, and thousands of hours of community service. No matter the amount, your contribution brings joy, opportunity, and lasting impact to the lives of our students.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.
