STAGEBRIDGE is the nation's oldest Senior Theatre Company. Based in Oakland, California, STAGEBRIDGE is an arts organization that uses theatre and storytelling to bridge the generation gap and to stimulate positive attitudes toward aging. STAGEBRIDGE’s intergenerational programs feature senior theater productions, storytelling in the schools, nurses training programs, acting classes for seniors, and writing contests for children.

Through these programs, we demonstrate our vision of cooperation, creativity, and joy among people of all ages and backgrounds.

FALL CLASSES
START SEPT. 15th!

We are very excited to announce our 30th Season of Classes. We are debuting new concepts for classes this fall based on our wildly successful and fun Performing Arts Camp last month. Among the important changes we have made: 1) for the first time, we will be limiting enrollment in all classes (to 20) and also having a minimum number for a class to go (10). So we are encouraging you to sign up in advance to save your place. You are also still most welcome to check out the first class before making a decision; 2) the Musical Theatre Class will premiere with three different teachers (featuring Bruce Bierman, Ellen Robinson and Josiah) leading up to a performance; back by popular demand will be Julian Lopez-Morillas and Jeff Raz (from camp); and we will be developing our own Playback Theatre Troupe with popular teacher Roni Alperin.
