Spring 2021 Program
Page and Stage is a free-of-charge program for low-income children between 3-5 years old. The goal of this is program is to bring early reader stories to life through theatre, fostering creativity, imagination and - ultimately - literacy.

Workshops will be offered virtually to give students an opportunity to engage with the teaching artist. On demand content will also be created to extend the program to students who are not present in the classroom. Each student will receive a copy of each book title to take home and add to their personal library.

Page & Stage serves multiple areas of Monmouth and Ocean County including Neptune Acelero, Asbury Park Acelero, Freehold Aclero, Monmouth Day Care Center (Red Bank) and Hackensack Meridian Early Childhood Education Center of Brick.

The 2020-21 season features the following books/musicals:

• The Carrot Seed
• Hooray for Hat!
• Su propio color: A Color of His Own
