About the Theatre
Cardinal Stage was established in 2006 by Founder and former Artistic Director Randy White and a dedicated board of directors. From the beginning, the goal has been to develop Cardinal Stage into a professional regional theatre company. As a regional theatre, Cardinal Stage programs a range of material to compliment the diverse interests of Bloomington, Indiana and the surrounding region. Cardinal Stage shows are critically praised and popular with audiences throughout South-Central Indiana. Over the years, Cardinal Stage has grown into the largest arts organization in Bloomington, creating opportunities for dozens of actors, designers, and technical crew members each season.RELATED STORIES
