Co-director Jeff Frank shares what makes First Stage so special: a commitment to age-appropriate casting that allows audiences to see themselves reflected on stage, and young performers to step into roles that reflect their experiences and grow alongside professional adult actors. When young actors bring stories to life, the result is not only engaging for audiences but also transformative for the young performers.
