This program allows students to build relationships and learn from professional musicians who work in local orchestras and at theaters across the Seattle area.

We strive to ensure that all young people, regardless of financial circumstances, are able to participate in these programs.

The process to apply for financial assistance is easy and non-invasive. Families need only apply once per year, for all programs. Assistance is need-based and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Work Exchange

Work exchange is an additional need-based financial aid option where students work a set number of hours in an assigned position in exchange for a portion of show, camp, or class tuition. It is not a grant (you must work to earn it), and it is not a loan (you don’t have to repay it). Work exchange positions include Teaching Assistants (TAs), Administrative Assistants, and more.

Any student (8th grade and up) currently enrolled or planning to enroll in KIDSTAGE programming may apply for work exchange. To apply, please fill out the Work Exchange Application Form.
