Be a part of a magical cast!
Summer Mainstage Broadway Production
We're celebrating our 30th anniversary with a special production of Shrek the Musical! We have made so many memories since Centerstage opened it's doors in 1995, we thought this show would be appropriate ... especially as it features a crazy band of family and frriends who learn that everyone has a story to tell!
Three Weeks Camp Intensive
Fun for the whole family, this will be a knock-out production by an amazing team of directors, featuring an insanely talented cast of Centerstage students, alumni, faculty and friends. In fact, we had to double cast some of the roles in order to showcase the talent ... including alumni coming from as far away as New York and Alabama. There's even a special guest appearance by a thirteen foot, fire-breathing pink dragon puppet who has her glowing eyes and fluttering lashes fixed on Donkey! Don't miss this over-the-top theatrical experience!!
Students & Alumni Perform Together
The stunning new performance hall at William & Mary - the Glenn Close Theatre - will provide an amazing backdrop for our special production! With professionally designed sets, lights, and sound, it will take our celebration to new heights ... and we can't wait for cast, crew and audience to experience it!!

The story of an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.
Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn for a young actress, children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
