Make West Fargo an Artful City
We believe a city is defined by its culture. Stage West is on a mission to weave the arts into the daily fabric of West Fargo. Through exceptional live performances and youth education, we provide the creative spark that makes our community unique. Help us continue to build an artful city—one performance at a time.
More Than What You See On Stage
Founded in 2021, Stage West is the theatrical producing arm of West Fargo Events. We are dedicated to celebrating local artists and patrons through exceptional live performances, education, and cultural experiences that unite our community.
While our large-scale summer musicals at the Essentia Health Plaza at The Lights draw thousands, our mission extends far beyond the final curtain call. We strive to make West Fargo an artful city by providing year-round programming, from intimate staged readings and dinner theaters to comprehensive educational workshops that inspire the next generation of performers.
Our Producing Artistic Director
Adam Pankow serves as the Artistic Director for Stage West, bringing a vision of high-energy, community-driven theatre to the West Fargo stage. Under his leadership, Stage West has seen explosive growth, nearly doubling attendance with hit productions like Legally Blonde and Newsies.
Adam is passionate about selecting titles that resonate with local audiences—ranging from jukebox favorites like Jersey Boys to rock operas like American Idiot. His commitment to artistic excellence and local talent has established Stage West as a premiere destination for performing arts in the Red River Valley.
