Stage 2 is a youth theater organization dedicated to empowering teens and young adults through the performing arts. We provide a welcoming, creative space where students can grow as performers, leaders, and individuals, both on stage and behind the scenes. At Stage 2, theater is more than entertainment; it’s a tool for building confidence, character, and community.
Why Stage 2 Matters
Stage 2 exists to give young people a place where they belong—a place where creativity is celebrated, teamwork is essential, and every voice matters. Our students don’t just learn lines or choreography; they learn responsibility, leadership, collaboration, and self-expression. From the moment they walk through the door, members become part of a creative family that supports growth on and off the stage.
Whether a student dreams of performing in the spotlight or prefers working behind the scenes, Stage 2 offers meaningful opportunities for every interest and skill level.
Stage 2 fills a unique role in the Meridian community by offering a youth-driven, hands-on theater experience unlike traditional school or adult-led programs. Students take ownership of productions, learn professional skills, and actively shape the creative process. This approach builds confidence, accountability, and pride—skills that stay with them long after the curtain closes.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Step into an enchanted forest filled with magic, mischief, and romance as Stage 2 proudly presents William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This timeless comedy brings together star-crossed lovers, mischievous fairies, and a hilariously determined group of amateur actors, all caught in a whirlwind of love and illusion.
