ABQStages started in March of 2008 to take over the main stage productions that The Growing Stage started producing in 2005. We are a 501(c)(3) corporation, so all donations are tax deductible. Kari Reese, founder and owner of The Growing Stage, enlisted the help of her friends and colleagues and created a board of directors to form and help run this new organization.

Our mission is to provide creative and educational opportunities for a diverse community by producing accessible quality theatre on local stages. These productions involve and engage the talents of both young and old — on stage and behind the scenes — and foster a deeper appreciation of the arts and each other.
