StageDirect is recording top quality fringe theater on digital video. We know that there is tremendous work going on every day in small theaters all over the world. This is entertainment that challenges, provokes, takes risks, explodes conventions - because the actors, writers, and stage companies are not slaves to the Hollywood/network formula machine. These productions appear for a few weeks, usually with little marketing, then they disappear. Unless you're a real fanatic, you'll miss even the top performances in your own town, not to mention those from distant cities.

We find the best of these shows, shoot multiple performances with multiple digital cameras using professional crew and equipment, and deliver outstanding entertainment to your door in VHS (and in time DVD) form at an affordable price. As we build our video library (at an expected rate of 8-10 new productions every year), we hope to help you build yours - with great video from StageDirect!
