By offering easily accessible learning programs we provide opportunities for community engagement and a legacy of improved health and happiness. Our theatre arts programs range from empowering students through storytelling, to helping seniors reclaim their dignity with creative expression.

Taiko for People with Parkinson's

NextStage sponsors a Taiko Drumming Class in conjunction with Watsonville Taiko and EASE PD (exercise, activity, support and education for Parkinson’s Disease) for people living with Parkinson’s. These classes, which are offered with full scholarships to students have been a great success for those residing in the Santa Cruz area.

Our next 9-week session of Taiko Drumming begins July 20 at 10am at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 420 Melrose Avenue, Santa Cruz.
