Be A Part of Our First Time

2010-04-11T09:00:00.000-07:00

Starting a theatre company is a lot of work. Yet it doesn't feel like work when you are passionate about what you're doing and you are working with people whose love of theatre is equal to yours.

As you know, our first challenge was to find a venue. A couple months ago, we thought that we had found one. Almost as quickly as that venue had materialized, however, it disappeared. While it was a bit of a blow at first, we were undaunted and forged on, exploring options that would work for TheStage Rep and our vision. Who knew that a cup of coffee on a sunny Saturday afternoon would find us crossing paths with Stephen Snow, the Artistic Director of The Palace Theater in Danbury? Call it divine artistic intervention, or whatever you wish, but TheStage Rep is over the moon about the relationship being built between our company and The Palace.

Our first production, appropriately entitled My First Time, is a comedy by Ken Davenport and recounts first sexual experiences as shared anonymously on the Internet. In keeping with our mission, TheStage Rep is excited to be offering this contemporary piece of theatre as the Danbury community's first taste of what we will be producing. The show will be presented one night only on Saturday, May 15th.

So, the 2010 planning continues as we work on securing the rights and confirming the dates for our shows. Once the full season is confirmed, which should be very shortly, announcements will be made. The one thing you can count on, however, is that in 2010 you can expect to see live theatre like you've never seen before, right in downtown Danbury.

It is only the beginning...

The Waiting Is The Hardest Part

As Tom Petty says, the waiting is the hardest part. Every day you get one more yard. You take it on faith, you take it to the heart. The waiting is the hardest part.

We at TheStage Rep have been very busy planning our 2010-2011 season and assembling our Board of Directors. We are waiting for the last couple of pieces to fall into place and, once they do, we will be making a few announcements. Our first announcement, concerning two special events that will be taking place, is coming soon.

Our second announcement, which will reveal our inaugural season, will be coming your way in May 2010.

In the meantime, enjoy this scrumptious bit of video from Tom Petty & Eddie Vedder, and remember the waiting is even harder for us than it is for you!

Happy New Year

On January 1, 2010, TheStage Repertory Company launched its online presence, which includes a Web site, a Facebook page, a Twitter account and this blog.

Each channel has its own specific function with a common thread between them, to let you know about TheStage Rep and what we are doing. This blog will provide you with more of the "insiders view" of our organization, its formation and its evolution.

In February, we will announce our first event, in March we will announce our planned season and in April we will mount our first production. It is a lot of work but we are up to the task. Over the next few months, we will also begin introducing you to the people behind the company and how they will be involved.

Right now, we are forming our Board of Directors, securing venues and deciding on our calendar of events for TheStage Rep's 2010-2011 inaugural season. We have a long list of plays and musicals that we are interested in producing, so it should be fun weighing our options and coming up with something exciting to bring to our community.

We are always open to suggestions for plays and musicals that you would like to see. Feel free to share your thoughts or post your ideas in the Comments section of this blog or drop us a line at info@thestagerep.org.

Happy New Year! May it be a healthy, safe and prosperous year with plenty of good theatre!
