Today, we were proud to present the final performance of this year’s STAGES II Summer Camp, held in partnership with the McAnulty College of Liberal Arts and the Red Masquers and made possible through the Edith L. Trees Charitable Trust.

The STAGES II Summer Camp brings together youth with disabilities to help develop acting, communication and self-esteem skills. The week culminates in a performance at the Genesius Theater, where participants showcase the roles they’ve practiced throughout the week in a play.

Other activities included time in the Nursing Simulation Lab, where campers took on the role of healthcare providers and practiced self-advocacy skills as patients, along with walks around our quiet, tree-lined campus and visits with Duquesne Campus Police.
