The new On Stage at the Loft Performing Arts Center takes on a rather bold role: To bring a huge variety of cultural, artistic, theatrical and musical workshops, events, courses and even performances to the greater New Jersey area. Our workshops, courses, and special events are geared toward both adults and children. They include theatre, musical theatre, kinder-acting and music classes, a vocal workshop, Cabaret, songwriting, a variety of musical venues, guitar, piano, a holiday extravaganza performance, playwriting, relaxation workshops, photography, and so much more!
Our goal is to expose people of all ages to the many languages of the arts and to build confidence and skills in their craft that will permanently enrich their lives.
We take pride in our courses and workshops, conducting students in a professional, fun and exciting setting. We have worked hard and long to find the finest proven teachers who take their art seriously and will settle for nothing less then bringing out the maximum results from their students in the most positive and professional manner.
Whether you aspire to the arts as a profession, or for self-enrichment, Cindy Diskin and her professional staff at On Stage at the Loft offer the encouragement, patience and expertise, and mostly the opportunity, to attain your dreams in the arts.
Our Theatre Department at On Stage brings Broadway quality teachers to New Jersey with our Music and Songwriting Department being lead by the internationally recognized John Sheehan.
At the new On Stage at the Loft Performing Arts Center, we pride ourselves in guiding your children in small class settings that are very individualized. We teach children to cast aside their fears and insecurities, and we replenish them with confidence. Cindy Diskin and her professional staff offer children the patience, encouragement and expertise needed to develop your child's talents to their highest potential. They will experience the joy of discovering and expanding their talents through the magic of the arts. We always make certain that our workshops and courses are filled with excitement and fun.
At On Stage we believe in our students’ talents; first we gently guide and lead them to tap into their inner most place of creativity. We encourage students to take the risks necessary for learning their craft. We direct them on a path to be powerful communicators using their creativity as their vehicle. At On Stage at the Loft we have created a fun and safe environment for all to be encouraged in a non-judgmental setting to be the best they can be.
Sundays at the Loft is an ongoing series that takes place in a Soho-like, relaxed café’ setting, where we encourage people to mingle and share their creative and cultural interests with one another. Some of the upcoming Sunday at the Loft series will include a fun evening of improvisation with audience participation, a night of comedy, open mics, poetry readings, open mics for actors and comedians, and singer, songwriters John Sheehan and Denny Tilton performing their original works on guitar. For children there will be open mic night, Karaoke sing-a-longs, magic shows and special Holiday performances.
We offer to adults and children the largest variety and most professional workshops, courses and special events in all areas of the arts. On Stage is always seeking new talent for upcoming events. If there is a course or workshop you’d like to take, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
It is a privilege to share the gift of theatre, music and the arts. Come, join us, and let’s begin the magic.
