Our History

It All Started With A Quilt

In May 2003, a group of theater lovers produced the musical Quilters, an unconventional, vignette-based musical about frontier women. After the success of the show, the group formed Shadow Block Productions, named after the “Shadow Blocks” individually sewn into quilts. Shadow Block Productions' goal was to produce rarely seen, small-cast musicals, and for five years Shadow Block entertained local audiences and developed a growing, loyal following. 

In 2008, the group relocated to a larger theater at Slayton House in the Wilde Lake Village Center of Columbia, MD, formed a new Board of Directors, became a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and officially re-named themselves Silhouette Stages. Since then, Silhouette Stages has grown into Howard County's Premiere Community Theater and become a favorite among local audiences, performers, and volunteers. 

 

Today, Silhouette Stages welcomes over 3,000 audience members through it’s doors each season thanks to the work of hundreds of volunteers. Through tireless man hours and with an endless dedication to the arts, they have maintained a track record of excellence and garnered numerous recognitions from the Washington Area Theatre Community Honors (W.A.T.C.H) Awards, Ruby Griffith Awards, DC Metro Arts “Best of” Honors, and MD Theatre Guides Top 5 Community Theatres in MD. In 2016, Silhouette Stages won the MDTG Readers' Choice Award for Best Community Theater in Greater Baltimore. 

Silhouette Stages continues to cultivate a dedicated community of Volunteers who highlight exceptional storytelling, artistry, and the endless possibilities of the Theatrical Arts; with the hope that it will continue to be a beacon of joy and light to the people and community of Howard County for many years to come.
