Triangle Stage ("TS") is a Web-based application. It is the first project of Digital Stage, LLC, a North Carolina startup company. The Digital Stage team aims to build a flexible technology platform for the use of the local entertainment industry and everyone who enjoys live music, theater, and comedy. TriangleStage.com is an example of how that platform can be used, but is not the only project that we hope to create.

The Research Triangle has a large and vibrant entertainment scene, with music clubs, performing arts centers, theaters of all sizes, auditoriums, outdoor venues and amphitheaters, and dozens of bars, pubs, restaurants, breweries, shops, food courts, parks, and many other indoor and outdoor spaces, all with one thing in common: a "Stage" where performances are given. We classify all of these "stage-having" places as "Venues"; the performances that happen on the stages "Events"; and the individuals and groups people that perform "Artists" or "Acts". We collect and aggregate, from multiple sources, all of the available information about these Venues, Events, and Artists, and present it to the public through a single interface which is the Triangle Stage web application.

We urge you to use the venue websites as much as you like. You will find links to every one of them, in the appropriate Venue, Event, or Artist pages. You must access the venue sites when it comes to verifying event details and artist lineups, or when buying tickets.

As an "aggregator" for Triangle entertainment information, TS offers a single interface to the largest collection (to our knowledge) of data in that category. We are constantly collecting and organizing this data and working to present it to you in a clean and simple yet powerful application modeled after many of the largest and most successful sites on the internet. The advantages to you, the user, are found in the amount, accuracy, and timeliness of the content, the convenience and speed of accessing it, and the connections that are enabled in the process. We offer a friendly and and powerful user experience that provides multiple ways to look at the RT entertainment scene and the hundreds of venues, artists, and events that make it happen.

There is no fixed criteria for what information we include in TS. We seek to eventually capture everything of any interest that happens on a stage in the Triangle. These include venues large or small, indoor, outdoor; events both free and ticketed, artists who are famous, popular, locally known, just starting out, and everything in between. Some event types, like Karaoke, or community events, are included or excluded based on the other offerings of a particular Venue.

This is an important question. The answer lies in learning to use the tools provided for the purposes of selecting and sorting information on TS. Those tools are: Categories and sub-Categories, Searching, Sorting, and Filtering. These tools are found in most apps that people use every day: social apps, shopping apps, banking and bill-paying apps, etc, so they will be familiar to most users. To help new users ramp up on the how to use these features in Triangle Stage, we are working on a "Tips and Tricks" guide, which will be linked on the home page and main menu as soon as it is available.

Yes. TS will always provide an advertising-free user experience. We DO accept donations to help offset our operating expenses and allow us to keep growing. Changes are coming, but we will never accept advertising or require a subscription to view content.

Yes! Signing in and becoming a member will always be optional, but the future direction of TS is as a local community organized around the live entertainment scene. Those who wish to join will be able to access personalized features (favorites lists, tags, content editing and creation, data exports, saved searches, alerts, and more). This will require a free membership and sign-in with a TS username or social media credentials. We are actively seeking opinions on how this would be best implemented and what features would be of interest. Realistically, these features would probably not be available until the third quarter of 2026. We will keep you posted and please pass along your ideas via "Contact Us".

Yes to both. For now, please use the Contact Us page to send a message identifying yourself and what changes you would like to have made. If you do not want to appear in Triangle Stage, please send us a request for removal. Once we have verified that you do in fact represent the artist or act that you are requesting changes to, your requests will be fulfilled. In the future, participating artists will have a TS login that is tied to their artist profile so that they can make whatever changes they wish at any time, including promoting their own Events. This is connected to the membership features discussed above, and is also expected to be available in Q3 2026.

If it concerns you personally or you as a member of a performing group, see the comment directly above. We will immediately correct or update information upon receving a request from a listed Artist. If it is about a venue, same thing (as long as you have some verification that you represent that venue). Please keep in mind that our venue information and images come directly from Google, and are updated periodically. In this case, the best approach might be to make the correction in your Google Business account and then notify us to run an update. We will pick up and immmediately display the correction.
