Stages is an inclusive and collaborative production that welcomes artists of all forms—whether your medium is dance, music, song, visual art, or any other mode of creative expression. This production invites participants from across the Department of Theatre and Dance and the broader Ball State community to bring their unique voices and perspectives to the stage. In Stages, cast members will have the opportunity to devise, share stories and experiences, and blend their talents with those of their peers. The goal is to create a rich tapestry of expression that celebrates the diversity of human experience and explores the impacts of recent government legislation.

Rooted in the exploration of identity and contemporary social issues, Stages delves into themes that impact the lives of individuals who may feel on the margins and touches on topics such as gender, race, sexuality, and societal expectations. It is a space where lived experiences—whether deeply personal or reflective of larger contemporary social issues—are brought to light, allowing for dialogue and connection through art. Stages aims to create a welcoming environment where every participant can share stories and transform the stage into a space of belonging, understanding, and shared humanity. This is your Stage—a place to be seen, heard, and valued.

About

This performance provides a capstone to a robust year of choral activities for four ensembles performing together and combined. Led by Kerry Glann, Andrew Crow, Kristen Baisley, and Stephen Larson. We will celebrate our graduating students in their final performance with the Ball State Choirs.

Cardinal Chorus is a tenor/bass ensemble open to students of all disciplines who enjoy sharing camaraderie through music and excellence in live performance. The University Choral Union (UCU) is the perfect choir for the casual singer or busy non-music major. UCU is a large and lively mixed choir that meets once each week. The Concert Choir is a select ensemble open to students of all disciplines by audition. Over the course of several semesters of participation, members will perform accompanied and a cappella music representing a broad spectrum of history and cultures. Vox Anima is a treble-voice ensemble (sopranos or altos) open to students of all disciplines who enjoy sharing camaraderie through music and achieving excellence in performance.
