History
TODO: History
Appearance
Prototype 1-Stage
The Prototype 1-Stage, (also known as The Corner 1-Stage) was the very first variation of the 1-Stage. It debuted at the Waldorf, Maryland location on March 24th, 1992. This version of the stage was specifically designed for a prototype 6,000 square-foot location CEC was testing for lower density areas, It was officially dubbed as a "Mini Unit". While it is mostly similar to the finalized design, the Prototype 1-Stages share a few significant differences compared to the normal mass-produced 1-Stage design. It is the smallest 1-Stage design to date, with all the characters being nearly crammed together. Pasqually's brick wall features the "Pasqually's Amateur Hour" Logo, while the normal 1-Stages feature a blank brick wall. The Valence curtain is not present in this version, instead it is apart of the wall and features rainbow lights on the right and left sides, with The Wink still being placed in the middle. The VHS Player was placed inside of Jasper's box, which made it easy for employees to switch out Showtapes for Live/Birthday Shows. Two more locations would open with the Prototype 1-Stage design. Columbus, Ohio (Soldano Boulevard) which opened on November 24th, 1992, and Lancaster, California which opened on March 8th, 1993. In 1994, two more Mini-Unit stores would open in Durham, North Carolina, and El Paso, Texas (Sunland Park). While these two locations featured a cramped 1-Stage and the wall being apart of the valence just like the prototype, The backdrops were more akin to the finalized versions rolled out into stores. Durham is currently the only location left to feature the Mini-Unit design, as El Paso would relocate the stage in 2011.
Staten Island Prototype 1-Stage
This design is only at the Staten Island, New York location, it features a unique star behind Chuck E., 2-Stage buildings, a postcard with the Munch's Make Believe Band logo on it, and formerly featured a pull out stage for live shows, but it was destroyed in a flood in the early 2010's.
1-Stage
The 1-Stage's general appearance is a city skyline with Chuck E. and Pasqually are in front of faux brick walls. The buildings are more colorful and unquie than previous iterations.
1-Stage with Turntable
This version is the same as the normal 1-Stage, except that Chuck E. stands on a platform, this platform has the ability to turn when a live show happens, turning the Chuck E. bot into the backroom so the walkaround Chuck E. can come out, and also to not cause confusion as to why there were two Chuck E.'s. without the necessity to use curtains. There are currently 5 locations with the turntable left, and in all 5, they do not work anymore, except the Pearl City, Hawaii location has it turned to the back so the Chuck E. Bot is not visible.
1-Stage w/ 2-Stage Backdrops
This stage is a regular 1-Stage, however opting for the 2-Stage's Backdrops. This variant of the 2-Stage is scaled around the same size as the Mini Unit Prototype. The reason as to why this exists is unknown.
