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.

Dueling pianos shows make for a unique, interactive experience that is far from a typical night out. Two grand pianos, two outgoing piano players, and an active, fun audience make the perfect party atmosphere for any event.

A dueling piano consists of two grand pianos, two charismatic, hilarious entertainers behind the keys, and an audience that will laugh and dance into the night. Throughout the night the piano players play audience requested songs. The pianists sing and battle back and forth with comedic commentary and hilarious banter. 

Audience participation is a huge factor in the success of a dueling piano acts. Requests, sing-a-longs, and dancing make dueling piano acts fun and special for all event guests.

Enjoy a guided meditation experience with views of an amazing sunset as you travel to the North Pole to relax under a night sky filled with stars and glimpses of the Northern Lights.
