SteppingStone Theatre, St. Paul's premiere youth theatre, announces its 25th Anniversary Season. 

According to Artistic Director Richard Hitchler -- "We're celebrating our great history, and looking forward to a fantastic future. This season's productions will continue SteppingStone Theatre's tradition of shows that highlight the imagination and creativity of our professionally-trained youth performers.

SteppingStone Theatre’s mission is to develop the whole child by using educational theatre programs, and fully staged productions to build self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of community while celebrating diversity in a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere with programs  that foster creativity, self-expression and self-confidence; teaching children and youth about history, diverse cultures, literature and the arts while making learning engaging and entertaining; and help to create in youth a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
