What We Offer

Chelsey Kolenda runs Beyond the Stage out of the Cloverdale United Church in Surrey. Bi-annually, Beyond the Stage offers its Play Performance Program, where children, ages 8-16 are cast in a full-production of a beloved children’s classic. We also offer a creative drama program for ages 5 to 7, one day workshops with a variety of guest instructors, an improv program with instructor Beth Cantor, seasonal art and drama parties, and annual fundraisers.
