Next Stage recognizes its role in being a portal for racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity. We strive to positively impact our community and the world through our broad programmatic mission. Our society has a long way to go, but we view this organization as a piece to moving us into a more just and equitable space...

Accessibility
Next Stage is dedicated to making our space and programs accessible to everyone in our community.
Next Stage is a fully ADA-accessible event space. A first-floor elevator provides second floor access for patrons with mobility issues. Parking, paths-of-travel and bathrooms are all easily accessible on the first floor. The stage, greenroom, and Art Gallery, on our second floor, are all wheelchair-friendly. There are also assisted-listening devices available at all shows and events. Some of our shows and events also have special family-friendly and senior reduced-priced tickets.
Sign Language Interpretation (select performances only)
ASL-interpreted shows provide access to live events for members of the Deaf/HH community. With four weeks’ notice, we’ll make every effort to provide ASL interpretation for groups of 4 or more at no cost. For more information, please email [email protected].

Assisted listening devices are available at the Box Office for all Next Stage performances and events.

Anti-Racism Statement
We recognize structural racism/ethnic discrimination and other forms of oppression have contributed to persistent disparities which we seeks to dismantle.
We understand that these disparities have existed in the past and persist into the present.
We acknowledge that these inequities are the result of policies and practices that work to marginalize entire populations of people.
We unequivocally denounce racism/ethnic discrimination because it undermines the well-being and vitality of our communities.
We work with artists, funders, and community collaborators to co-create solutions that ensure everyone has the resources, supports, opportunities and networks they need to thrive.
We commit to leveraging all of our assets (convening, strategic investments, awareness building, advocacy) to create more equitable communities.
