A huge congrats to our art & theater teacher Ms. Cecily who got engaged to the amazing Jordan! We love you both so much!

We are blessed! With combined online and offline donations, we surpassed our Giving Tuesday goal! Thank you, wonderful community. We felt the love today. If you planned to give, please still do so, as truly every dollar counts and is used quickly! And thank you again to everyone who made Giving Tuesday a success.

Read a testimony from one of our participants below. Participate in Giving Tuesday today to help us welcome more incredible young ladies like her! Royal Stage has done so much for me. About 2 years ago I was really suicidal and not wanting to be around. But then I got to talk to an amazing person who even now I can go to for anything I need. They helped me a lot through that time. Dance has always been a big part of my life even when I was little but my family never had the... money to send me to a dance studio. Then my sister found Royal Stage through a friend and it just opened my eyes. I've been able to grow so much as a dancer and got to meet some of my closest friends there. When I was younger I had terrible stage fright and now through dance and Royal Stage theatre I've been able to overcome that and want to be able to perform for people and the Lord. Royal Stage is an amazing place where you can come and really allow yourself to be free of things bothering you and really has improved my life and so many more. Give today! Royalstage.org/2020
