Big News from First Stage Theatre

A while back I mentioned that the First Stage Theatre Company (Huntington's long-running children's theatre) had some big news coming up - and now it can be revealed!

After 21 years, for the first time ever, First Stage has a home!

The organization signed the papers today on a building in Huntington that will (eventually) provide a permanent location for storage for that group's sets, props and costumes, as well as providing rehearsal space!

It'll take a while for the building to be fixed up for its future purpose, and the organization is planning a big open house event when that happens, so I'll have to hold off on the rest of the details for now - but it's a big step for the organization, and it's going to take a lot of work (and funds) to realize the full potential - but it's a big step, and one that opens up lots of possibilities for the future!

I'll have more news as the story develops, but for now - congratulations to everyone at First Stage!

  1. As a former first stage kid I'm very excited to hear about this! I can't think of any group/group of people that's done more for me than First Stage and its only fitting that they finally have this. Congradulations!
