“From the moment I graduated from Stagedoor Manor almost 25 years ago, I’ve wanted to go back. Even now, as soon as the weather turns warm and the Tony Awards have finished, I can’t help but count down the days until my parents drive me up to the Catskills and I get to put on a musical or three with my best friends,” Bergen explained. “There are countless others like me, and countless more who are just heading to Stagedoor for the first time. Stagedoor changed our lives. It gave us our dreams, our families, and our careers. I can’t wait to celebrate Stagedoor, Carl and Elsie Samuelson, Jack Romano, Michael Larsen, and all of the arts educators that have made it come alive for the last 50 summers.”
