About the Theatre
Community Stages is a nonprofit theatre arts organization serving North Central Florida. We share free and donation-based, family-centered performances in community spaces across Ocala — welcoming families of all shapes and sizes to experience joyful, high-quality storytelling together.
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.
