Timeline
Fall 2025
The development of a new community theatre was announced! The 602 Stage was registered with the AZCC as a non-profit corporation and was granted 501(c(3)) status by the IRS. "The 602 Revue" took place in order to raise funds to cover start-up costs and licensing for the first full show of The 602 Stage 2026 Season. Staff members were chosen through a short interview process.
January-April 2026
Staff will meet to discuss details of an upcoming production and begin to prepare materials. Our first show, audition dates, and ticket sales will be announced.
​
We will begin searching for local artists to lead workshops, community gatherings, and improv nights.
May-August 2026
Auditions, rehearsals, and shows--oh my! This will be the busiest season of the year for The 602 Stage. We will also begin seeking out members to join our board.
September-December 2026
Our annual Revue will take place and include exclusive announcements, a taste of the next season, and special performances!
2027
We will work with board members to assess the previous year and, based on those results, begin looking for a permanent home in the West Valley. At this time organization will start for the following year and include:
​
