Stage The Change

Stage the Change is on a mission to empower students to become global citizens through creativity and performance, and to provide communities with original, inspiring work that serves as a catalyst for change.

The centerpiece of our work has been our annual conference, Stage the Change, The Arts as a Social Voice, first held at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in 2013. The conference brings together high school and college students from racially and economically diverse regions of Long Island and beyond to create socially-relevant, creative works which address issues important to them (such as bullying, addiction, racism, intolerance and abuse). Conference attendance has grown from 250 to 800 in the past eleven years.
