HomeWho We ServeSchools & YouthPage to Stage

Page to Stage is an exciting and expanding platform for youth passionate about storytelling and spoken word. This initiative offers dynamic performance opportunities and creative development for young artists.

Led by accomplished literary teaching artists, students participate in both in-school programs and out-of-school workshops that help them find, shape, and amplify their unique voices. These experiences culminate in open showcase performances that connect youth across the metro area through the power of words.

In January 2025, we proudly launched the first COMPAS Youth Spoken Word Showcase, marking the beginning of the Page to Stage program.
