Young Festival Stage
Waco's First Professional Theatre for Young Audiences!
The Young Festival Stage is Waco's first professional theater for young audiences. We are dedicated to bringing dynamic, family-friendly experiences to young theatre-goers and seasoned patrons alike. Our vision is to ignite the imaginations of our Central Texas community by showcasing world-class performances that celebrate the power of live storytelling.
Young Festival Stage is proud to present our 2026 Original Production: Liberty's Dream. Come Celebrate America's 250th Year of Independence in Stories and Songs.
This summer, we’re bringing this New Work to life at The Midway Performing Arts Center—the perfect way to enjoy live theatre for the young and young at heart. Liberty's Dream runs June 26th to July 5th, 2026.
Sensory Friendly and ASL-interpreted performance on June 28th at 2pm. This Sensory Friendly Performance includes:
- House lights dimmed but not completely off, allowing audience members to see their surroundings at all times.
- Reduced sound levels.
- A “Quiet Room” is available for children/patrons who need a break.
- Tablets and smartphones will be permitted to help non-verbal audience members communicate.
- A parent “tip sheet,” a social story, and a synopsis for our sensory-friendly performance so that patrons, children, and caregivers can have as much information as possible in advance of attending the show.
