About Streets2stage

Streets2Stage is a nonprofit tax exempt youth theatre and arts organization established in the heart and soul of Monroe, Louisiana. We are committed to unlocking creativity, expanding access to the arts, and cultivating the next generation of storytellers and leaders.

Streets2Stage is the place where kids who were overlooked get discovered and where quiet voices get turned into bold storytellers. We teach theatre, confidence, communication, and character, but the real transformation is watching a child who once hid in the back become the one leading the room.

We are activating dreams, stretching imagination, and helping youth ages 8 through 18 walk in their gifts with joy. The stage becomes their practice ground for real life. Leadership becomes second nature. Creativity becomes language. Purpose becomes visible.

We believe our kids deserve access to the arts without needing a passport, a privilege, or a famous relative. They deserve spaces that celebrate them and communities that invest in them. We support that journey with theatre skills, social emotional learning, performance opportunities, and community events that allow our young actors to shine.

Streets2Stage is not entertainment. It is empowerment. It builds confidence, communication, teamwork, problem solving, discipline, and emotional literacy. It gives our kids the courage to speak up, show up, and own who they are.

This is where storytellers are born. This is where leaders find their voice. This is where culture shifters get their first standing ovation.

From the streets to the stage and from the stage to the world.

We are recognized as a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, and your contributions are tax-deductible.
