About us
Who would ever guess 30 years ago in 1994 that when Frank Girardeau found some pressure treated lumber at a yard sale upstate and built a stage in the back yard with advice from Carver Blanchard, the seeds of a fruitful 30 year project would begin? One which would contribute to the Arts and Cultural life of Greene County these many years later.

Our Mission
To bring quality free performances of Horton Foote’s work to the people of Greene County, NY, and the rest of the world.
Our Values
We strive to treat everyone with respect and share the beautiful work of Horton Foote with everyone for free.
Nestled in the Catskill forest, our summer retreat has provided actors and audiences alike a common sanctuary to explore and enjoy some quiet moments of reflection & immersion into the world of Horton Foote.
