Crescent City Stage

Crescent City Stage is dedicated to producing professional theater of the highest caliber, ensuring equitable compensation for our creative teams and fostering an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives and experiences.

Crescent City Stage (CCS) has become an integral part of New Orleans' rich cultural landscape, dedicated to bringing impactful theatrical experiences to the community. Striving to do more than simply entertain; CCS aims to foster connection, spark meaningful conversations, and encourage reflection through our productions and CCS Studio offerings.

CCS prioritizes showcasing stories that resonate with the diverse spirit of New Orleans, reflecting the city's unique character and its people. A significant aspect of our mission involves nurturing the next generation of theater professionals, by centering wages for all our creative artists.

With the opening of our new CCS Studio space on Magazine Street, we hope to expand our reach offering educational and community building opportunities, using theatre arts as our starting point.

When you contribute to CCS, 60 cents of every dollar is dedicated to providing increasingly supportive and sustaining wages to Arts Workers so they can continue to thrive and reinvest in the incredibly New Orleans economy.
