StagePage

Resident

StagePage is a performing arts intelligence company and data platform, founded by artist and producer, Mariel Marshall. The company specializes in B2B personalized product recommendation solutions that empower arts organizations and festivals to grow their audience.

Think OKCupid’s matching power combined with Spotify’s ‘discover weekly’ recommendations, designed for live theatre, dance and opera events.

Finding great live entertainment has never been more daunting. The discovery barrier is so high that many audiences will choose alternatives like Netflix or dining out, to the time-intensive work of manually sorting through reviews, ratings and event listing sites. Recommendation engines have been used to solve discovery challenges in many domains, but few have been developed to handle the complexities of “live” events. StagePage was started out of a desire to solve this ambitious challenge. Working in close collaboration with major arts organizations, including Ontario’s largest performing arts festival, the Toronto Fringe, the company has developed a new technology that harnesses the power of machine learning and data intelligence to power personalized recommendations.
