At Blue Fire Theatre (BFT), our mission is to enrich and contribute to our community through the performing arts. A vital part of that mission is arts education. We are committed to providing meaningful performing arts opportunities for all youth in our community.

 

Project Center Stage, funded in part through grants from Rayonier, Nassau Council of Arts and Culture, and Okefenoke REMC Foundation, is designed to make performing arts education accessible to all interested youth ages 7–18 through a “Pay What You Wish” structure.

 

Families will register online and may contribute whatever amount they can afford, with a suggested donation of $5. Participants may pay the suggested amount, less, more, or nothing at all. This approach ensures that every young person — regardless of financial circumstances, race, creed, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, or physical ability — has the opportunity to explore and experience the performing arts.

 

Project Center Stage will feature workshops throughout the year focusing on a wide variety of theatrical disciplines, including acting, improvisation, vocal techniques, musical theatre, movement, stage production, lighting, sound, and other theatre-related skills and exercises. These workshops are designed to foster creativity, confidence, teamwork, and self-expression in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

 

Through Project Center Stage, Blue Fire Theatre is opening the doors of the arts to all area youth, ensuring that every child with an interest in theatre has the opportunity to participate, learn, and grow — regardless of their ability to pay.
