Downstage
Downstage Productions was created in 1997 by a group of four friends who were struggling actors trying to make it in New York City. After countless rejections, the four friends wanted to try something different. They were sick of NYC and the harsh reality of the entertainment business. They bought a van and decided to travel around the US instead, putting on plays wherever they stopped. They performed, just the four of them, in parks, at schools, on sidewalks - anywhere people would stop to watch. Eventually more people started to join them. What began as four friends just wanting to prove themselves became an entire touring theater company. Instead of playing for free in parks, Downstage Productions now shows in some of the most respected regional theaters around the United States.
