STAGES Meetings

Fall Term

2025 Meeting Dates: September 25, October 9, October 23, November 14, 2025 at 4:10 p.m.

Want to get involved with the way that we build our Playhouse seasons? Join STAGES!
STAGES stands for Student Advisory Theatre Group Eating Snacks, and is a (nearly) biweekly club that meets every fall semester in the Theatre Seminar Library to discuss plays and musicals that have been read and analyzed by members. Once reported on at STAGES, scripts are entered into the pool of shows that faculty then pick from to build upcoming seasons of theatre for the Playhouse. You don’t have to be a Theatre Arts Major to join — just a passion for stories!

Click here to learn more, or email any questions (or snack requests) to Kirsten Sluyter at kirsten.sluyter@kzoo.edu.
