SOAR stands for the communities of St. Michael, Otsego, Albertville and Rogers, MN. MissionThe mission of SOAR Regional Arts is to enrich the communities of St. Michael, Otsego, Albertville and Rogers by providing artistic opportunities for performers and audience members. Specifically, SOAR Arts enhances the lives of the general public with aesthetic and creative opportunities through theatrical projects, performance opportunities, and musical education. DescriptionIn the fall of 2011, like-minded individuals, recognizing a need for quality community theater in these communities, pooled their talents, expertise and experience to form SOAR Arts. Their first show was Willy Wonka the musical in the summer of 2012.

Currently, these people are working with grants and community businesses to raise funds to produce a whole season of productions, starting with a 2012 Holiday Concert, The Jungle Book Kids in winter 2013 and The Music Man in summer 2013. These productions will provide a creative outlet for people of all ages and abilities. They will also enrich the lives of all who attend the performances.

The future of SOAR Regional Arts will provide an even broader spectrum of opportunities for these communities This vision includes SOAR’s individual space, which will include a music school offering private and group lessons, as well as a performance venue.
