About EarthStage Productions EarthStage Productions is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, founded in 1993 to produce high quality theatre designed to educate audiences about social and environmental issues. In its early years, EarthStage partnered with the Walden School (for emotionally disturbed youth), Fairchild Tropical Gardens, and the Center for Fine Arts, all in Miami, with significant funding from the State of Florida, Metro-Dade County, and American Express. After relocating its base to Asheville, NC, EarthStage collaborated with Warren Wilson College’s Environmental Leadership Center and its Theatre Department in creating an hour-long production dramatizing the history of how people have related to the environment in the North Carolina mountains over four centuries. The show was presented in schools throughout western North Carolina. EarthStage was also the producing organization for Asheville’s Earth Day celebrations in 2000 and 2001; a huge Womens’ Solidarity and World Peace event in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2001; and has produced Asheville Playback Theatre in frequent performances since 2003. The founder and Producing Director of EarthStage Productions is Mountaine Mort Jonas. Mountaine has a lifetime of experience in nonprofit organizations. He was Director of Finance and Administration at the Florida Grand Opera, has done consulting for many nonprofits including the Asheville Symphony and MAGIC Community Gardens, and is a consultant to the Metropolitan Opera. He is also active with playback theatre as an actor, musician, conductor, and trainer.
