Vermont Stage’s Campaign for Arts Education
Help Vermont Stage’s Board of Directors to raise $5,000 for its youth programs!
Vermont Stage’s arts education programs serve over 3,000 middle and high school students across Vermont each year. Funds donated to our Campaign for Arts Education will go towards scholarship funds for participating schools and production costs for these programs.
Teen Tours
Vermont Stage's newest program brings one play a season on tour to middle and high schools statewide. From Burlington to Brattleboro, Charleston to Coventry, Teen Tours goal is to spread love and kindness through the art of empathy, and to serve as a reminder that prejudice and injustice have no home in Vermont. This season, "Triangle” is traveling to approximately 20 schools throughout Vermont and will be experienced by over 2,000 middle and high school students by November 2025.
Vermont Young Playwrights
Now in its 30th year, Vermont Young Playwrights exists to provide every Young Vermonter an opportunity to discover their authentic voice through playwriting. Vermont Stage, Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center, and a network of professional theatre artists come together every year to produce the largest youth playwriting program in the State; providing a unique opportunity for students to explore writing plays that give voice to their take on the world, resulting in work that is often funny, provocative, and personal. Over 13,000 middle and high school students have written their first play through our award-winning Vermont Young Playwrights program.
