We, the citizens of Burbank, along with its regular visitors from all of Los Angeles and beyond, would like to express our gratitude to the founders of The Stage California Fusion Cafe and Restaurant for opening such a wonderful place in Burbank. They turned an abandoned former nursery with no hint of green into a lush garden paradise, a beautiful setting perfect for family and business gatherings alike, where we can enjoy not only delicious food, but also performances by talented jazz and classical artists.

This is one of those rare places where you can meet people from all walks of life enjoying themselves in a true community setting that makes Burbank even a more fantastic place to live.

We recently learned that the city of Burbank issued an order to stop outdoor live performances. These performances form an integral part of The Stage experience, and therefore, the Burbank experience. Removing them is denying residents and visitors of Burbank alike an experience they can hardly find anywhere else. 

We strongly urge you to reconsider this order and allow the live entertainment to continue.
