RISING STARS BROADWAY CAMPS  &  CENTER STAGE PERFORMING ARTS STUDIO

About the Pink Heals Tour
The Pink Heals Tour has visited more than 1,000 cities in America in just 22 months of operation, and the pink trucks are decorated with over 40,000 signatures from women who have survived cancer. The founder of the program, Dave Graybill, was a professional baseball player and pitched on the first ever Olympic team. Today he is a firefighter in Arizona and is very proud of what the Pink Heals Tour accomplishes each stop on the tour, “There are people across the street from us who are sick and suffering from cancer,” says Graybill “But people send their money to huge organizations forgetting the individuals in our own community. The Pink Heals Tour is a way for us to help local organizations fight cancer in their own community, raising the money locally and keeping it local.” For more information, click here.

About Rising Stars
The philosophy of the “Rising Stars” Broadway Camp is to provide each child with the opportunity to explore performance art and theater in an educational, fun, safe, and structured learning environment. “Rising Stars” always hires Broadway professionals to teach at the February, April & July camps. Each faculty member has at least one Broadway or national tour credit. The opportunity to be taught by these professionals in your own community is extremely rare. “Rising Stars” has a challenging, exciting curriculum and each day the kids come ready to learn from the “pros.” For more information, click here. 

About Center Stage
Center Stage is a comprehensive performing arts studio serving the South Shore.  Located in Quincy, Center Stage offers its students beginner, intermediate and advanced dance lessons including: ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and modern dance.  Center Stage also trains students in voice and musical instruments.  Rising Stars is also housed at Center Stage which makes drama lessons available to students as well.  As a full-service performing arts center, in operation for over 25 years, Center Stage is proud to play a key role in advancing the arts for young people in Quincy and throughout the South Shore.
