Together, we share a common goal of building an organization which exists to encourage creative expression and to unite community through that creativity.
Our philosophy is what lead to our logo design:
Standing alone, red, yellow and blue are lovely colors, but can be nothing else, unless brought together. When that happens, all other colors are created and the potential is endless. Center Stage Alliance unites youth of Iredell County and provides thorough education in combined areas of the arts, creating a strong, high quality community theater… Just like those colors, potential skyrockets. Most Importantly, however, we are teaching life skills, which can be carried into adulthood, helping them grow into contributing members of our community.
We exist to create and unite through the arts
Behind Our Mission…..
We all remember the joy of singing as a youngster, or excitedly grabbing crayons (to color outside the lines). Around the globe, all children sing, pretend, dance and draw. Regardless of origin, the arts are a universal language. Center Stage Alliance is bringing our youth and the arts together, expanding knowledge in each area and creating quality group performances, projects and shows for our community. Students receive professional training in the arts and learn we can focus on individual growth while simultaneously working, united, towards a greater cause.
Our goal is to bridge all corners of our community and grow as a group of artists, who appreciate each other’s talents, skills and hard work.
“We exist to create and unite,” so join us at Center Stage, “Where creativity abounds!”
