About Us
Becoming Downstage
DownStage Productions started as just a conversation at a little Pizza Hut in Wiggins, Mississippi between Trae Spears, Jade Withington, and Derrick Havard. They wanted the opportunity to do more shows that they wanted to do, but were not sure how to get it started. They had a lot of conversations about the unnamed theatre company, but it was just that - a conversation.
In December of 2013, DownStage Productions was officially formed as a for profit theatre organization with the intent to produce shows that audiences wanted to see, and performers wanted to perform. Little did we know just how...
Our Values
Inclusion: We welcome everyone regardless of what you look like, where you're from, how much you have, your ideology, or whom you love.
Respect: We are committed to being accepting, considerate, attentive, encouraging, and appreciative of every person who comes through our doors.
Discovery: We revel in the marvel and wonder of human truths revealed, for the artists and the audience, through the art of live theatre.
