“The Twin Cities is known for its vibrant performing arts community, and we have some of the best concert halls and theaters — big and small — in the country. TPT has created a new television and digital streaming initiative, called Stage, designed to celebrate and uplift Minnesota arts organizations. This program is essential during a challenging time when many performance spaces are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stage will offer a wide variety of artists and organizations the opportunity to share their artistry of music, theater, and dance in a new virtual way on broadcast television statewide and online.”
— Sylvia Strobel, President & CEO, Twin Cities PBS
