Stages of Hope is a youth-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to provide Houston community theaters with fiscal and material resources. It is our goal to enrich local actors with opportunities to grow their theatrical abilities. Many community theaters lack the resources to fully thrive, and they often have serious financial struggles. This is why it is essential to help them stay afloat financially. Lili Cates, our president, grew up doing local community theatre productions and strives to benefit similar organizations in achieving their goals.
