Ensemble Stage was basically conceived out of necessity and an unfaltering love of the performing arts and the unquenchable desire to share that love with the North Carolina High-Country community. In August of 2009 it was announced that the only existing professional theatre in the High-Country would be closing its doors. Not wanting to deprive the surrounding community of access to the performing arts, Gary Smith, Lisa Lamont, Robert Miller, Jr. and Tim Billman, with their 70+ years and nearly 600 productions of combined professional theatre experience, took action and Ensemble Stage was born. Jesseca Terhaar-Johnson, Jamie Billman and Melanie Miller also joined forces with the founders and before long Ensemble Stage’s first production, “The War of the Worlds,” was in rehearsals and on October 30th, 2009 at 7:00pm the show was presented on stage to a nearly sold out Blowing Rock School Auditorium audience.
As we continue to blossom and grow we will expand Ensemble Stage to include acting classes, presenting events, touring plays for schools, in-home staged play readings, event consulting and, of course, full-staged play productions as well as other exciting performing arts endeavors.
Please know that you, our patrons and the High-Country community, are why we’re here. Rest assured that we will always listen to you, always make you our top priority, always make access to the performing arts as affordable as possible and we’ll never, ever forget why we’re here or who we serve. Make no mistake, we are not a community theatre but we are, and always will be, a theatre for the community.
Currently we are in the process of becoming incorporated and filing for our 501(c)(3) not-for-profit status. As a part of that process we are looking for performing arts lovers to be members of our Board of Directors and our Ensemble Stage Auxiliary.
