Personal Stories 2020 - The Quarantine Edition!
Group 2 Video


DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND - SALES EXTENDED TO SEPT. 5 10:00 AM and VIDEOS WILL BE VIEWABLE UNTIL 9/7 11:59 PM.


Back pre-lockdown we started the process for what we hoped would be an April Personal Stories performance.  We put out a call for local authors to submit short stories - true stories about themselves that they would perform. We received some fabulous stories, and then life took a giant turn for all of us. It has taken us a little longer than we expected, and the stories will be delivered a little differently than we expected - but the stories must go on!! We can't yet welcome you back to the theater for a live performance, but we can share these wonderful stories with you, and hopefully raise a little money to help keep the theater alive until we can all meet again. We are creating a series of videos, each with 5 stories, that you can purchase for viewing in the safe and soically distanced location of your choice!  The videos will be released over the next few weeks, so keep checking back and follow us on social media.  You purchase your ticket, we send you an email with a link, password and instructions. The password and link are only available for a limited time - just like a live performance. We are making the tickets pay-what-you-can.  Starting at a modest $10, (we know these are tough financial times for many) and going up in stages in case you have some extra cash and want to help the theater during these incredibly difficult times. We turn 30 this August, and we are determined to be here to celebrate and be ready for 30 more!

Tickets for all videos are on sale now, the Group 1 video was released on June 29 & Group 2 video will be released Monday 7/5. Additional videos will continue to be release on subsequent Mondays for Groups 3-5.  As with all things during the time of COVID, schedules may change due to unexpected circumstances. Follow our social media, or check our website for details. If you have any questions email us at admin@centerstagetheater.org.  Due to quarantine we are not keeping our regular business hours in the office, so email is much more efficient for reaching us.

True stories, performed by their authors - funny, personal, touching and heartwarming. We promise there are no zoom meetings, mentions of quarantine or sourdough recipes, although a very cute Irish dog does make an appearance!
