Who We Are

Next Stage Rental and Market is a resource for the Twin Cities theatrical and event community, offering rental scenery and props and a shop to purchase reclaimed and salvaged building materials and scenery. Our mission is to create a circular economy by rescuing scenery and materials that would normally go to the landfill.
