The Stage 2 Showcase is a beloved annual tradition and a cornerstone of the program’s identity. Taking place each December, the Showcase brings together all Stage 2 members in a celebratory night of theater, music, dance, and student creativity.
In early fall, students are grouped and assigned a specific piece—ranging from musical theater numbers to scenes from classic plays. Over the course of two months, students rehearse under the leadership of Stage 2’s Artistic Director and student leaders, with many pieces choreographed or partially directed by teens themselves. This structure teaches leadership, collaboration, musicality, and independence.
The 2025 Showcase lineup features a dynamic mix of musical theater favorites (Les Misérables, Waitress, Shrek, Into the Woods, Newsies, Hairspray, Gypsy, Bright Star) as well as Shakespearean scenes and several special solo and duet performances. The evening concludes with a full ensemble finale of West Side Story’s “Somewhere,” showcasing the entire organization united on stage.
Showcase Information:
December 15, 7 PM
Location: Meridian Community College
Audience: Family, friends, and community supporters
The Showcase is designed to highlight every student’s growth throughout the year, giving them ownership and pride in their work. It is one of Stage 2’s most joyful and community-centered events—celebrating talent, teamwork, creativity, and the spirit of the arts.
