What sets our work apart? Take a closer look at our core principles and practices, and learn more about the heartbeat at work in every Discovery Stage project and experience.
Our core values include collaboration, accessibility, inclusivity, community, imagination, and play. We create work with minimal resources and maximum creativity, meeting audiences where they are and inviting participation and discovery in real time. Our performances are sensory-friendly and designed to welcome a wide range of engagement styles.
To extend learning and engagement, Discovery Stage provides audience and educator guides and supplemental resources, offering caregivers and teachers strategies to reinforce creative, social-emotional, and imaginative play beyond the performance. Our goal with all of our work is full programmatic inclusion, ensuring every child can explore creativity, imagination, and social-emotional growth.
But don’t take our word for it…
Discovery Stage in the Community
We are happy share our partnership with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to bring inclusive, accessible theatre performances to pediatric care patients. In Fall 2026, we brought performances of Let’s Go Camping! to the family camps at Camp Twin Lakes, The Zone play space, and invidivual hospital rooms at Arthur M. Blank Hospital.
This is a new program, and just four days in CHOA spaces made huge impacts, discoveries, and moments of connection that our artists, the children, and their families will carry with them forever.
We can’t wait to grow this initiative and impact – but we need your help! Help us bring imagination, connection, and a spirit of play to children and families even in their toughest of moments. You can support our pediatric care programming by clicking below and making a contribution today.
