ABQStages started in March of 2008 to take over the main stage productions that The Growing Stage started producing in 2005. We are a 501(c)(3) corporation, so all donations are tax deductible. Kari Reese, founder and owner of The Growing Stage, enlisted the help of her friends and colleagues and created a board of directors to form and help run this new organization. Our mission is to provide creative and educational opportunities for a diverse community by producing accessible quality theatre on local stages.  These productions involve and engage the talents of both young and old -- on stage and behind the scenes -- and foster a deeper appreciation of the arts and each other.

 

Our organization is made up of two managing directors and a board of directors. Our managing directors are Kari Reese, Executive Director

(kari@abqstages.org) and Hal Simons, Artistic Director (hal@abqstages.org.
