The History of Bay Stage Live
It all began in the early 1950’s. Sam Marino, a man drawn to the theatre, had a vision: to create the Bay Area’s most comprehensive, creative, and cooperative entertainment company. Marino quit his job at his family’s fish company and began acquiring professional stage and lighting equipment that he would rent to Tampa Bay’s theaters. And thus, the “Bay Stage Lighting Company” was born.
