For over 20 years…

Stage One has brought high-quality theatre education and entertainment to the greater Richmond, Indiana region. We work with hundreds of young theatre artists each year to put on public and school day performances, all at no cost to the performers and technicians. Our graduates have gone on to study theatre at schools like New York University, the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, Ball State University, University of Miami, Anderson University, and more!

Stage One and the Richmond Civic Theatre as a whole gave me a home outside of home. The family that I created here became a support system that I use even 1,000 miles away. Being a part of RCT and especially the Stage One family has shaped me into the person I am today, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

What can I possibly say about the place that gave my child her voice? 8 years of creativity, acceptance, support and unconditional love has made her who she is today. I am grateful that all 3 of my children were able to experience this love through Stage One. Through the theatre, they met their best friends who turned into family. The Richmond community is SO LUCKY to have Stage One. Most communities do not have access to youth theatre of this caliber, and definitely not for free. I hope that all children who are searching for their place in the world are lucky enough to find Stage One. I will never be able to fully articulate what Stage One has meant to our family.

I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to show our students these productions, many of which would not otherwise have the chance! I love making the connections to literature especially. The talent of our youth in this community is inspiring, and I am so glad to share it.

Synopsis
Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films!

Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
