Welcome to our new blog where we will updating our
process and
progress as a theatre in Greensboro, North Carolina--a city much like other cities in a time when we all are attempting to keep our spirits high in light of many dynamic changes in our country.
The plays we are striving to create here at Triad Stage speak to our spirit this season:
The Night of the Iguana showed us the challenges of facing despair and moving beyond it;
Bell, Book & Candle magically revealed how love can make us see things again for the first time; and
Beautiful Star cheered us once again with holiday music inspired from Appalachia.
We now are getting prepared to open
Black Pearl Sings! at the end of this month on January 29th (previews begin on the 25th). As with
Ghosts, and the other plays that will follow on our mainstage and in our cabaret space, this blog will chronicle our creative process and our artistic progress.
Keep checking back here to see behind the scenes photos and interviews, along with other interesting bits that will give you a better picture as to what goes on Inside Triad Stage.
