Verdier and his wife opened the Stages Theatre Center in Hollywood in 1982, as a venue for bringing "the richness, flavor and variety of World Theatre to Los Angeles audiences".[http://www.stagestheatrecenter.com/aboutus/ About the Stages Theatre Center] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009111911/http://www.stagestheatrecenter.com/aboutus/ |date=9 October 2007 }} (Accessed 2007-05-23)
