''Put in a representative list of them. Maybe all productions in 2016, or a selected list, depending on their number. If a production was covered in print media, probably include references.''

Students
''Tell us who they are... number, ages, qualifications to enroll, etc.''

The season is supplemented with many other opportunities to showcase the talents of the students, including an "all-county musical" featuring students from local high school theatre programs, children's plays, summer camp productions, and Books Come Alive!, a series of adaptations of children's books performed at libraries throughout the area. The company is also notable for its annual production of The Rocky Horror Show every Halloween.

Many of Stage Right!'s students have had success in Pittsburgh Public Theater's Shakespeare Monologue and Scene Contest, as well as going on to well-respected college theatre programs such as Carnegie Mellon University, Point Park University, New York University, Seton Hill University, Syracuse University, and Shenandoah University.
