What is Stage Rush?
Stage Rush is a multimedia website covering Broadway and New York theater. With a focus on the lesser-known people of Broadway and through the use of video, Stage Rush aims to bring the stories and faces of theater’s underdogs to its readers. Stage Rush readers (or Rushers) are theater fans who feel a surge of adrenaline and excitement when they experience Broadway. Rushers are interested in learning about the cogs in the machine that make Broadway function. They are savvy theatergoers who are interested in classical and contemporary plays and musicals. Rushers are also keen to enjoy Broadway on a budget, out to snap up a great discount to some of its best offerings. Stage Rush is a community for these fans to connect through the art that they love.
