History
Cardinal Stage Company was established by founding artistic director Randy White and a dedicated board of directors. From the beginning, the goal has been to develop Cardinal Stage into a professional Regional theatre company. As a Regional theatre, Cardinal programs a range of material to compliment the diverse interests of Bloomington and the surrounding region. The consistent factor is that Cardinal shows are critically praised and popular with audiences throughout South-Central Indiana. In six years, Cardinal has grown into the largest arts organization in Bloomington. Adding its first full-time staff member in 2008, Cardinal currently has a full-time staff of 6 and hires dozens of actors, designers and technical crew members each season.
