Explore Below to See what Happy Stages Can Do for You!
Happy Stages allows open audition/interviews and inquiries for our Live Stage and Film Production projects on a rolling basis. Most of our inquiries come from referrals provided by other nonprofit organizations, schools, mental health agencies/clinicians, and social service agencies.
We welcome interested artists to apply for membership with the core understanding that Happy Stages is ALWAYS to remain a ‘Safe Place’ for the artists who share their talent. LGBTQIA, Neurodivergent, and Multicultural Friendly behavior is paramount to our core ethic. Collaborating artists in Happy Stages are either people living with various forms of mental health, neurodivergent, or psycho-social challenges, or are advocates, family members, and/or social service or mental health practitioners who champion the needs of people with ‘differences/challenges’.
