Name Change & MORE!
 
Stage 9 LogoStage 9 has a new name and logo.  We are now Stage 9 Theatre / Garbeau's.



Mark Ferreira of Garbeau's has joined Stage 9 to help keep Garbeau's alive.  A new website will be up soon. Mark will handle the publicity and marketing for the Stage 9 / Garbeau's enterprise. Stage 9 will continue to produce our award winning productions and Mark will be producing Garbeau's Live, a twice monthly Sunday evening cabaret. He will also be teaching and accompanying shows. In addition, the Stage Nine Entertainment Store will be closing the end of the month to allow Mike and Connie  more time to concentrate on the theatre and our teaching arm the Theatre Production & Technical Academy. We leased a building behind the theatre that is a great rehearsal/teaching space plus a shop and offices. All is good and we look forward to a dynamite 2010.
