Funding Dreams. Rewriting the Script.

Join us for UPSTAGE 2026, a celebration of one remarkable year fueled by an incredible community of dreamers, believers, donors and doers. Together, we’ll recognize those who helped build Stage 13 from the ground up, celebrate the impact we’ve made, and invest in the next chapter of arts education in Arkansas.

Join community leaders, supporters, artists, and friends for an evening celebrating everything Stage 13 has accomplished in just one remarkable year and the extraordinary future we’re building together. Enjoy dinner, a complimentary open bar, and unforgettable performances by some of Stage 13’s talented young artists. Together, we’ll look back on our first chapter, honor beloved director and arts educator Sheridan Posey, whose name is now a prominent part of the Stage 13 story through the newly dedicated Sheridan Posey Performance Center, and share an exciting glimpse of what’s next.

Your attendance helps fund scholarships, innovative arts education, professional-caliber productions, and opportunities that ensure every young artist has a place to take the stage, discover their potential and dream bigger than ever before!
