Welcome to Bloomington’s hub for theater, film, and arts education! Constellation connects audiences through world-class theater and film. Each theatrical season features an exciting mix of original plays and musicals, established works, family-friendly classics, and shows for young audiences. Through its year-round education programs, Constellation aims to nurture a love of the performing arts in students of all ages in South Central Indiana. Throughout the year, Constellation’s Film Department produces a variety of film projects (all shot in Indiana), hosts a screening series of classics, indie films, and cinematic experiences, and offers a variety of hands-on filmmaking classes and workshops. Constellation was established in 2022 as a result of a three-way merger between Bloomington Playwright’s Project, Cardinal Stage, and Pigasus Institute. Learn more at SeeConstellation.org.
