Business Details
Triad Stage began as the dream of creating a professional not-for-profit regional theatre to serve the communities of the Triad. Co-founders Preston Lane and Richard Whittington forged their artistic partnership as graduate students at the Yale School of Drama. After managing a theater in Connecticut for two years, they undertook the three-year task of opening their own theater in the heart of historic Greensboro.
In September 1999, Triad Stage purchased the former Montgomery Ward building, which had been built in 1936 and sat vacant for almost 40 years. Renovations commenced in the spring of 2001, transforming the five-story building into a world class theater center now called the Pyrle Theater, complete with a 300-seat theater and thrust stage, rehearsal hall, offices, two spacious lobbies, special events areas and other audience amenities. Triad Stage also assumed the management an offsite production facility, the Greensboro Scene Shop.
The Grand Opening of the theater took place in January 2002 with Tennessee Williams' modern classic Suddenly Last Summer. Since then, Triad Stage has produced more than 75 productions, holiday shows and special events, and has sold over 350,000 tickets.
