About the Theatre
Community Stages is a nonprofit theatre arts organization serving North Central Florida. In residence at Chelsea Art Center (3305 E.

We also provide inclusive theatre training for performers of all stages and aspirations. Through classes, camps, and collaborative performance programs, we blend professional instruction with playful creativity to support skill-building, confidence, and meaningful community connection.
