A wonderful professional theatre company creating excellent productions in a small black box theatre space. Because of its intimate size, every show has an immersive quality, as it is impossible not to be drawn in when you're *that* close to the stage (or even *on* the stage, as there was actually on-stage seating during American Stage's production of "A Marvelous Party." FUN!). This theatre offers a wide range of selections, covering (updated) classics, contemporary plays, drama, comedy, and everything in between, and let's not forget the annual "American Stage in the Park" musical at Demens Landing. There is also a lobby cabaret program with improv, story-telling, and music performances, that deserve to be checked out, along with educational programs for aspiring thespians of all ages.

American Stage has been around since the 1970s, and once you attend one of their performances, you'll understand why this has been a Tampa Bay favorite for so long.
