Stage Manager Caskey Hunsader Launches Home Fragrance Line Inspired by Broadway Musicals: StageDoor Candle Co.

 

I am always a big fan of someone who gets really creative and launches a  product line that really captures attention… and I learned about Caskey Hunsader, a NYC stage manager who like many people who worked on Broadway shows in New York, found that the shutdown due to Covid-19 meant he needed to find another way to support himself.

 

 

Stage manager, Caskey Hunsader recently launched a home fragrance line, www.stagedoorcandles.com,  inspired by Broadway Musicals. Caskey came up with this awesome, creative way to bring the world of  Broadway into our homes with wonderful gift ideas. PLUS, a portion of the sales goes to the very important benefit – Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

 
 

In March, Hunsader was working on the national tour of the Broadway musical, Miss Saigon. What was originally thought to be a temporary hiatus of a few weeks, quickly turned into the permanent closure of the tour. For the first time in Broadway history, shows were shut down indefinitely not just in New York City, but across the whole country.
 
Seeing his friends and coworkers mourning the loss of live theatre and spending all their time quarantined in their homes, Hunsader started exploring ways to bring memories of Broadway to people’s homes. He started Stagedoor Candle Company to create quality, premium, hand-poured candles, and other fragrance products inspired by Broadway’s favorite characters.
 
Stagedoor Candle Company offers candles, oil diffusers and room sprays in a whole range of scents – and have just launched a limited edition of holiday products perfect for gift giving. The Spectacular Holiday Collection draws inspiration from one of NYC’s most iconic Christmas shows.
 
“Fans of Broadway aren’t going to let a shutdown keep them from enjoying their favorite shows, and now they don’t have to when they can bring these products into their own homes” says Hunsader. “Our customers are enjoying candles like ‘Green Girl’ and ‘She’s Popular’, inspired by the witches of the musical Wicked. They’re lighting a candle, playing a cast album, and remembering what is so magical about Broadway. We might be shut down for now, but we will never go away.”
Shows – and characters -that were the inspiration for some products include the following shows:  Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Wicked, Mama Mia,  the witches of Wicked,  Cosette, and more. 

 

Another Build Your Own Trio
 
 

Stagedoor Candle Company started this past summer. Hunsader was looking for something crafty to do in his downtime and after making some sample candles for friends, he realized that fans of Broadway would really connect with being able to have something in their home with the shows they were missing. Oil reed diffusers and room sprays are also available in each of the nine scents of the main product line. Now, with the Spectacular Holiday Collection, the offerings have expanded to 13 amazing fragrances.
Lovingly made in NYC, these artisan candles  (along with the diffusers and room sprays) are crafted with the highest quality, hand-picked ingredients.

As a member of the Broadway community, Hunsader also wanted to use the business as an opportunity to give back. A portion of every sale is donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, one of the nation’s leading industry-based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations.

All of Stagedoor Candles Company’s products are handmade in New York City and shipped directly to happy customers all over the country. You can find the full lineup at www.stagedoorcandles.com. We hope you enjoy our products, inspired by your favorite musical theatre characters, in your home!
