Behind The Marquee

We construct curiosity for living rooms & late nights.

Stageframe was founded by three touring stagehands and a sound engineer who grew tired of disposable, algorithm-chewed entertainment. We craft live-scale narratives, tactile audio journeys, and interactive play that actually stick in your ribs.

Origin & Intent

Entertainment shouldn't evaporate the minute you close the tab.

We started in 2019 inside a drafty theatrical prop storage loft on Decatur Street. The premise was stubborn: what happens if you treat digital experiences with the physical gravity of opening night?

Every performance piece, soundscape, and interactive kit we publish is tuned by hand. We do not manufacture background noise. We build work that asks for your full attention and rewards you with real pulse.

"If a scene doesn't make your pulse hitch in the rehearsal bay, it never makes the final cut."
— Mara Vance, Creative Director
The Guild Mindset

No Boardrooms, Just Stage Techs

Our crew includes lighting designers, radio dramatists, foley artists, and puzzle architects. We test every concept with small, live crowds in physical rooms before a single pixel or audio track is shipped to your screen.

The result is entertainment that feels performed, not generated.

The Laboratory

From 4-track tape to multi-branch performance engines.

We blend analog theater mechanics with responsive sound design. When we engineer an evening event or a mystery series, we begin on corkboards and acoustic microphones before writing a line of code.

Our rehearsal space operates six days a week, fine-tuning character voices, tempo curves, and tactile participant cues so every release lands with the weight of front-row seats.

Where We Build

Decatur Workshop & Live Studio

Headquartered out of our converted warehouse studio, we host weekly acoustic table-reads and closed test runs. We believe shared friction makes stories memorable.

Pledge to the Audience

How we keep the stage honest.

  • 01
    Zero Infinite Scroll Traps

    Our experiences have deliberate beginnings, rich middles, and definitive curtains. We respect your time too much to loop you indefinitely.

  • 02
    Human Performance First

    Actors, musicians, and writers drive every character beat. Synthetic shortcuts will never replace the crackle of a real throat behind a microphone.

  • 03
    Tactile Immersion

    From custom vinyl inserts to high-fidelity binaural masters, our productions are designed to be felt across the senses.
