 Stage
Right is a school for the performing arts and professional theatre
company located in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Our mission is to
bring high-quality, professional musical theatre productions and
education to Westmoreland County and surrounding areas at affordable
prices.
Stage Right was founded in 1998 as a school only, with a roster of
twelve students. Since then, student registration has grown to 175
students and a professional theatre company was added in 2000.
Since then, the theatre company has produced such shows as: Annie, Peter
Pan, Joseph … Dreamcoat, Wizard of Oz, Godspell, and West Side Story.
There productions featured professional casts as well as a number of
Stage Right students. This practice of having students work
alongside Equity actors is a hallmark of the Stage Right education
ideology and one of the things the organization is most proud of.
The result of this has been students who are finding success in their
pursuits of attending the best colleges and universities in the country.
Stage Right students can currently be found pursuing theatre degrees at
: NYU, Penn State, Bucknell, and Point Park. While still in high
school, Stage Right students have been chosen to attend the Pennsylvania
Governor’s School for the Arts, have been finalists and winners of the
Pittsburgh Public Theatre’s Shakespeare monologue contest and have been
chosen as leads in their school plays and musicals. In addition to
their artistic pursuits, the majority of our students also find great
academic success and doing so is greatly encouraged by Stage Right.
Stage Right is also a champion of the local professional actor, and
hires from the Western Pennsylvania area exclusively, as well as hiring
New York based actors with ties to the region. Creating a local
theatre for these artists to purvey their craft is an important
initiative for anyone who is interested in keeping our area alive with
creativity. These actors are also used as guest instructors for
our school. Their contact with the students has been highly
beneficial in the student’s development.
Stage Right’s producer, Chris Orosz, and its Artistic Director,
Anthony Marino, are dedicated to keeping Stage Right an organization
that responds to the needs and desires of area theatre goers and those
interested in learning as much about the art form as possible. In
keeping with this idea, Stage Right has branched out aggressively into
outreach theatre as well as creating new original works.
