About the Theatre

STAGES St. Louis is celebrating 39 years of professional theatre in St. Louis!

STAGES St. Louis is the region’s foremost not-for-profit company committed to preserving and advancing the art form of Musical Theatre through excellence in performance and education. In 2021, STAGES celebrates its 35th Anniversary Season of producing Broadway-quality theatre, presenting 140 performances from June through October to nearly 50,000 patrons. STAGES employs the best Musical Theatre artists available regionally and nationally for all productions. By holding auditions in St. Louis and New York, STAGES is able to attract not only Broadway talent, but also further its commitment to support professional St. Louis actors and artists, providing nearly 450 union work weeks annually. In 2014, the number of union work weeks exceeded 500 as STAGES began production in an additional venue. The re-launching of the overwhelmingly successful 2013 production of Always… Patsy Cline added 144 performances, and reached nearly 25,000 additional patrons. In addition to being the top regional employer of local union actors, STAGES educates thousands of students each year at its Performing Arts Academy, the region’s only year-round arts school with a comprehensive curriculum run by a professional theatre company.
