Stages Repertory Theatre's

Impresario Circle

Impresarios are the shining stars of Stages: a dynamic group of exceptional patrons who are passionate about theatre and passionate about supporting Stages. From world premieres to educational programs, the generosity of Impresarios makes art happen.

Impresarios are part of the life of the theatre, enjoying exclusive social events like opening night receptions, cast parties, and other mixers. As key members of the Stages family, they are also invited to peek behind the scenes with events like readings, open rehearsals, private talkbacks, and backstage tours. Throughout, the Impresarios are vital to Stages’ continued success.

Impresario memberships for the 2010-2011 season are $750-$2500 and include the benefits noted below. For more information or to become an Impresario, please contact James Cichocki at 713.527.0220 x214.
