Constellation Stage & Screen

Constellation connects audiences through world-class theater and film.

Each theatrical season features an exciting mix of original plays and musicals, established works, family-friendly classics, and shows for young audiences.

Through its year-round education programs, Constellation aims to nurture a love of the performing arts in students of all ages in South Central Indiana. Constellation’s offerings include year-long classes, summer camps, workshops, after-school programs, in-school residencies, special student-only weekday matinee performances, and two annual student theater and film writing competitions: Mini-Play and Project Constellation.

Throughout the year, Constellation produces multiple film projects (all shot in Indiana) and is currently in development for a feature-length film developed based on one of its theatrical productions, bringing the stage to the screen!

As the management organization for two downtown arts venues, Constellation is also committed to supporting and enhancing the visual arts sector and area performing arts organizations through the management of John Waldron Arts Center and the Ted Jones Playhouse, including the Waldron's Rosemary P. Miller Gallery.

Constellation believes that 1) theater and film have the power to simultaneously entertain and engage audiences, 2) the arts are vital to the quality of life for every individual and essential to the overall health of our community, and 3) these values should be lived internally by providing a welcoming and supportive workplace that nurtures our staff, artists, and board.

Constellation was established in 2022 as a result of a three way merger between Bloomington Playwright’s Project, Cardinal Stage, and Pigasus Institute.
