On June 18, as the final performance of “Adventures in Neverland” concluded, the iStage Academy Summer Arts Festival officially came to a spectacular close. Spanning nearly one month, with over 200 actors, 13 themed productions, and 14 performances ranging from ages 4 to 17, this festival accompanied us throughout the entire 2022-2023 academic year. Countless hours of rehearsal, the dedication of students and instructors, and their passion for the performing arts culminated in a moment of brilliance under the spotlight. All the hard work transformed into the laughter and surprise of the audience. This is the ultimate goal of musical theatre education: to shine on stage and to bring transformation in life.
