ABOUT
Your Small Town Professional Theatre
Theatre on Main Street’s vision is to bring professionalism in theatre to the Hudson Valley for actors and audiences alike, performed in our neighborhood's local setting to create accessible, familiar and immersive theatrical experiences.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, unique Small Professional Equity Theatre outside of NYC with a commitment to bringing excellence in storytelling and entertainment with non-traditional & diverse casts to perform established works in unique and contemporary settings. A portion of the proceeds from our productions go to non-profit organizations which support our over riding themes of "those who protect" and "those who need protection".
Our productions feature professional talent hailing from neighborhoods in CT, NJ and NYC, as well as local talent discovered and developed from our surrounding Hudson Valley region.
We strive to create innovative and immersive artistic experiences, and make involvement in theatre accessible both financially and geographically to suburban residents and to participate in launching a high level cultural and artistic movement in the region.
