le t teR fRom the Board President

In the 2012-2013 season, First Stage

served over 138,000 young people and their parents, grandparents, and educators through our professional theater performances, Theater Academy, and Theater in Education programs.

We had a successful season on stage, opening with the hit BIG, THE MUSICAL, a Theatre for Young Audiences

adaptation developed in collaboration with Adventure Theatre MTC in Maryland. Our holiday show – RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER® - brought the animated classic to life and became the highest-selling First Stage production in our history, with full houses for nearly all 61 of its school and public performances. The Wisconsin Cycle – a series of new plays developed and produced over six seasons honoring the history and people of our state – continued this year with TO THE PROMISED LAND, a world premiere by local actor and playwright Jonathan Gillard Daly. TO THE PROMISED LAND was later broadcast on MPTV in April 2013 as part of its Young Performers Initiative, made possible with a generous grant from the Helen Bader Foundation. PINKALICIOUS THE MUSICAL delighted audiences of nearly 24,000, exceeding its ticket sales projections even before the show’s opening. With support from the Brewers Community Foundation, JACKIE AND ME opened just in time for the start of the baseball season and allowed First Stage to connect with audiences through the celebration of American’s favorite pastime and one athlete’s perseverance through segregation and racism.

In August 2012, First Stage piloted Next Steps, a one-week Theater Academy session developed for students on the autism spectrum. After its well-received summer session, Next Steps returned for a one-week session during spring break at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center. Next Steps further developed with offering sensory-friendly performances of both First Steps Series shows – FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS and Lois Ehlert’s MOLE HILL STORIES. This new program earned First Stage the Business Journal’s Eureka Award, recognizing creativity and innovation in business, the arts, education, health care, and other areas.

As Wisconsin’s leader in arts-integrated education in schools, First Stage served over 20,000 students in the 2012-13 school year through innovative programming that integrates theater into the curricula through programs such as Pre- and Post-Show Workshops, Teaching Through Theater Workshops, the Bully Ban Workshop, and Literacy Residencies in nearly 500 classrooms throughout southeastern Wisconsin. In spring 2013, First Stage announced its partnership with PAVE as part of the Kennedy Center’s Partners in Education initiative. This program is designed to promote educational partnerships between arts organizations and school systems through professional arts education training for teachers. For this initial three year collaboration, First Stage will serve as a Strategic Partner with select PAVE schools, offering PAVE teachers extensive professional development workshops that focus on integrating dramatic activities into traditional curriculum.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the staff of First Stage, we are incredibly grateful to the community for its continued support and inspiration, and look forward to transforming more lives through theater in the coming season.

Sincerely,

Alec FraserPresident, Board of Directors

In 1987, First Stage began as a small theater company with a goal of providing professional theater for young people and families. Today, the company has grown to become one of the nation’s most acclaimed professional children’s theaters and one of the largest theater companies in Milwaukee, drawing an annual audience of more than 113,000. At the heart of First Stage is a seven-play season of professional theater for young people and families with titles chosen for educational content, social significance, and their potential to spark conversation at home and in classrooms. First Stage casts all productions with age-appropriate performers and has presented nearly 50 world premieres, collaborating with renowned artists including Harry Connick, Jr., composer Stephen Schwartz, award-winning author Lois Lowry and Wisconsin playwright/actor James DeVita.

“This isn’t just a silly play about the color pink. It’s a warning against socializing girls and boys to prefer a certain hue within the rainbow. It’s a way to tell kids to eat their vegetables. And it’s a play about a dysfunctional family that finally comes together and learns to enjoy one another. That final sentiment is shared in the show’s concluding number–the entire cast sings that “‘pink is love, pink is joy, pink is fun.’ Yes, yes it is.” –Christina Wright, ThirdCoast Daily

Debuting in 1992, First Stage Theater Academy has become the nation’s largest high-impact theater training program for young people. Classes are offered year-round, most of which take place at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, a national model for youth training in the performing arts. Academy classes teach life skills through stage skills with a curriculum goal to build character and develop leadership skills. To accommodate the increasing number of students we serve, First Stage offers Theater Academy programming at four additional locations including the Oconomowoc Arts Center, Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield, Schauer Arts Center in Hartford, and Wauwatosa Recreation Department.

during our 2012-2013 season, first stage engaged 2,175 students / 3,164 enrollments in Theater Academy classes.

s C h o o l’ s o u t AC A d e m y C l A s s es School’s Out provides a full day of programming for Milwaukee Public School students on days when school is not in session. With the “play in a day” theme, students learn about all aspects of putting on a show from auditioning, to creating characters, costume and set design, script writing, improvisation and storytelling. Students create their own one act play at the end of the day are presented to parents and families. Six School’s Out classes were offered with 73 enrollments, engaging 43 unique students.

to u R i n G C o m pA n y This three-week intensive class resulted in First Stage’s premiere touring company for 13 students in grades 8-12. Through performances of Broadway standards and show choir favorites, the Touring Company reflects First Stage’s core values of confidence, commitment, character, leadership, and passion and offers First Stage an opportunity for more community outreach and entertainment.

the AteR in eduCAt ion

First Stage has offered Theater in Education programs for all 26 years of the company’s existence with the goal of inciting young people’s desire for learning and helping classroom teachers explore curriculum using interactive, imaginative and integrated methods. Through our professional theater performances, classroom workshops and residencies, we encourage students of all ages to experience their world differently and find new connections to their school curriculum. First Stage offers programs that boost critical literacy skills, increase state standardized test scores and help teachers learn new and creative ways to teach. As schools are forced to spend less on arts programming, First Stage’s education programs cleverly blend the arts with the standard curriculum, allowing students to learn traditional academic subjects through creativity and self expression.

Dynamic Theater in Education programs that promote active learning in our schools and our community

“first stage’s education program is the perfect combination of the arts, developmentally appropriate curriculum, creativity and most of all fun. my students had so many wonderful experiences that will help them develop into happy, problem solving and critically thinking lifelong learners! Can’t wait until next year!” –Jenny, Teacher at Kluge Elementary

This season alone, First Stage reached 20,000 students in nearly 500 classrooms through our professional theater performances and over 2,000 classroom workshops and residencies.

ConneCt ions: A the AteR in eduCAt ion pRoGRAm

First Stage created the comprehensive in-school arts education program, Connections, to support students and teachers in City of Milwaukee schools who have minimal access to arts education as a result of budget cuts. The Connections Program develops creative thinking, logical reasoning, public speaking, and helps students improve their Emotional Intelligence.

First Stage is in each individual classroom on four separate occasions throughout the school year. The program includes:

• Tickets to a First Stage production• Free bussing to and from the theater• Pre-show workshops and post-show workshops• Teaching Through Theater workshop

connEcTions ProGrAm ouTcomEs:

First Stage continues to implement a quantitative pre- and post-workshop evaluation tool that tests the Connections program’s impact on students’ learning before and after program participation. The survey tests students’ ability to meet the following objectives:

1) relate a clearer understanding of the values presented within the play 2) demonstrate a more defined concept of the play’s characters 3) correctly identify answers to production-specific academic questions twice as often 4) show a higher level of understanding of, and empathy for, the characters

First Stage evaluated third through eighth grade classrooms that attended the production JACKIE AND ME in April and May 2013. This year’s pre and post survey tested students’ ability to identify and apply Jackie Robinson’s nine character values to the production and their everyday lives. Jackie’s values include courage, determination, teamwork, persistence, integrity, citizenship, justice, commitment, and excellence. Through the JACKIE AND ME workshops, students explored these character traits by engaging in tableaux (frozen pictures of actions/characters in a scene), character walks (walking as a certain character/emotion), and speaking from different characters’ points of view.

Overall, students increased their understanding of character traits by 15% after program participation.

This helps measure program effectiveness by comparing pre-test scores from the beginning of the school year to actual test scores later in the year. This year, evaluation showed an average increase of 10%.

EArly liTErAcy EvAluATion: First Stage conducted a classroom observation for each Early Literacy Residency classroom. First Stage worked with Reinders Research to develop an Observer’s Guide for the Early Literacy Residency (grades K4-1) to document the skills and curricular components displayed by program participants. A classroom observer documents how well the program addresses elements important to early childhood development.

First Stage has a longstanding partnership with the Daniels-Mardak Boys & Girls Club. In our 2012-2013 season, First Stage reached approximately 250 City of Milwaukee children who attend the Daniels-Mardak Boys & Girls Club with a Drama Residency program that explored cultural and social differences and similarities. The year-long residency was open to all Club members. A more intensive 20-week advanced program was available for Club Members to devise, rehearse, and perform a new play.

On May 23, 2013, ten students between the ages of 12 and 17 presented AN EVENING WITH SHAKESPEARE to an audience of supportive family, friends and staff from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee

and First Stage. The youth showcased their ease with the language and knowledge of the Bard as they shared the beloved SONNET #18, scenes from A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, an Elizabethan song with dance and an original sonnet written by a cast member. Scholarships were provided for students to continue studying Shakespeare during the 2013 Summer Theater Academy.

In spring 2013, First Stage began a partnership with the Kennedy Center’s Partners in Education initiative. The Partners in Education program was designed to promote educational partnerships between arts organizations and school systems through professional arts education training for teachers. For this initial three year collaboration, First Stage will serve as a Strategic Partner with select PAVE schools. PAVE champions good governance and visionary

leadership in schools while equipping them with resources to help young people succeed. Through a partnership with the Kennedy Center, First Stage will offer PAVE teachers extensive professional development workshops that focus on integrating dramatic activities into traditional curriculum and engaging students in their studies. In addition, First Stage will work with the schools to evaluate arts-based learning in the classroom and will provide in-school theater education workshops and/or residencies.

Thanks to the support of the Helen Bader Foundation MPTV filmed First Stage’s production of TO THE PROMISED LAND. After post-production was complete, the Helen Bader Foundation hosted a screening and reception at their office. TO THE PROMISED LAND was aired on MPTV on April 19 and 20, 2013. This broadcast was part of MPTV’s new Young Performers Initiative (YPI), a statewide effort to raise the visibility of the arts, celebrate the creative achievements of Wisconsin youth and those who inspire them.

“i must express how important a role first stage plays in an

urban city where crime, drugs, and violence are exposed

to children and teens on an almost daily basis. And i would

be remiss if i do not stress how particularly instrumental

first stage is to curbing those negative activities among

African-American youth; this i speak from

my own experience.” –Jeremy Tardy,

First Stage Young Performer, Academy Alumni

and graduating from Julliard in 2013
