Mainstage Center for the Arts celebrates fostering a dynamic, nurturing, and imaginative space for young performers in the South Jersey community. Our new Touring Outreach program aims to introduce students from diverse backgrounds to theater through tailored, curriculum-aligned performances—each thoughtfully crafted to be both socially impactful and entertaining.
Following the triumph of our inaugural season and with the support of The Horizon Foundation of NJ and The William G. Rohrer Charitable Foundation we are thrilled to unveil Rise & Shine: It’s Wellness Time as the primary production of our 2024-2025 school year. These cost-effective programs serve as invaluable tools for educators to seamlessly integrate the arts into their curriculum, ensuring that theater remains an accessible, enriching, and captivating experience for all.

RISE & SHINE, IT’S WELLNESS TIME!
Ideal for Grades 1-5, suitable for Kindergarten as well.
Available in 2025
Join us for an interactive “morning show” style performance where the focus is on building healthy habits and starting your day with a mindful and health conscious attitude.
Our actors will portray co-hosts, guests, perform commercial segments, and interact with the audience throughout the show! Zany characters and puppets work together, educating students, helping them acquire the knowledge and skills of what is most essential to become individuals who possess health and physical literacy and pursue a life of wellness. This fun & interactive experience will help support schools in their desire to develop the habits necessary to live healthy, productive lives that positively impact their families, schools and communities.
This show was developed in partnership with a licensed personal trainer, nutritionist and LSW, MSS, MA, CTP who specializes in holistic well being. The show will engage audience volunteers throughout and provide real, tangible tactics for students to easily incorporate health and wellness into their everyday lives.
Mainstage will supply educational packets for pre/post performance discussion and activities as well as recipes and exercise guides.
