Introduction to StageDoor43
Theater Company

StageDoor Theater Company was organized by a group of professional actors and actresses who shared an interest in theater and wanted "to give rural communities" something back, in the way of real entertainment and appreciation of real play production, and to develop the talent which abounds in their communities.

Governed by a volunteer board of directors, the organization continues to draw from an extraordinary pool of local talent to create its annual seasons. The theater company is geared to uplift the theatrical talents in local communities, including directing, producing, acting, writing, etc.  We embody the essence of creativity, and we aim also to create a safe atmosphere where actors and actresses make their own creative mark, regardless of age, through participation in workshops, stage productions, cabaret or drama vehicles.

Adult Education

Our adult workshops are rooted in the desire to deepen our engagement with the community, and to deepen the community's experience of our performances. In our adult workshops, StageDoor43 Theater Company's professional theater artists and fellow life-long learners engage community members in compelling explorations of various theater experiences.  With a variety of ways to engage in the workshops, participants from all backgrounds and experience levels are stimulated by the amazing hidden gems found in many overlooked stage plays and musicals, and the powerful effect speaking and acting these words have on a person and a community.
