Open Stage

Open Stage of Harrisburg, a regional professional theatre and educational program, is a non-profit organization located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Employing a small team of five individuals, Open Stage has established itself as a prominent force in the arts scene, generating annual revenue of $2.5 million. The theatre was founded in 1985 by Donald and Anne Alsedek, along with Marianne Fischer. Open Stage offers a diverse range of theatrical productions, including both plays and musicals, presented in its intimate setting. The organization also provides a comprehensive educational program through The Alsedek Theatre School, offering classes for children and adults aged 5 and up. In addition to its regular programming, Open Stage hosts a special school day matinee performance of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK and organizes the annual Capital 10-Miler - A Run for the Arts. During the health crisis, Open Stage adapted by creating virtual experiences to maintain connections with audiences and students. The organization embraced cutting-edge technology to deliver innovative and engaging online theatrical content. In a celebration of re-opening, Open Stage welcomed the public back to its doors in Memorial Day Weekend 2021 with a full schedule of programming.
