About Main Stage
The Main Stage program brings together committed and experienced theater students, ages 10 to 17, from throughout the Sacramento region, providing a unique opportunity to develop their skills in a professional and supportive environment. Rehearsals are held at YAS Studio, with performances presented at 24th Street Theater. Every registered cast member plays a vital role in the ensemble, fostering collaboration and growth, while auditions offer a chance to be selected for featured roles. Participants benefit from rigorous training, valuable stage experience, and the chance to work alongside talented peers, all while contributing to high-quality productions that inspire both performers and audiences alike.​
