Community Engagement Project Vision

Our new home will enable us to grow from a seasonal festival to a year-round cultural anchor for the community.

Our already robust education programming will wrap around the calendar year, and an extended performance season will allow for fall student matinees.

We will activate new partnerships with other Hudson Valley non-profits (environmental, Indigenous, historical, among others) through on-site programming to offer a truly intersectional educational experience for students.

By sharing space with other organizations in our community, we will ensure that the campus serves as a year-round resource and local hub.

We will continue to facilitate and produce large-scale participatory theater, forging a more interconnected and resilient community through the shared experience of art-making.

Finally, with complete ownership of our calendar and facilities, our regional impact is projected to grow 65% –to $7.6M annually by 2025. The effects of our relocation will be felt across industries throughout our community–in construction, hospitality, retail, and beyond.
