About Center Stage
Tunstone's "Center Stage: Fort Wayne's Premier Talent Show" debuted in 2022 as a first-of-its-kind addition to the fine arts community in Greater Fort Wayne. The inclusive event elevates talent and performing arts for all people with and without disabilities. Art in all of its forms is the expression of life from the artist's perspective, and through art, we all have the opportunity to experience someone else's thoughts, feelings, and point of view, and challenge us to respect diversity in life for the beauty that it creates. Los Galaxy, a local funk/fusion band, rose to the top as Center Stage's inaugural winner in 2022 and Sockie Phommachanh, former Turnstone client and local break dancer, took home the crown in 2023.
