Each will offer artistic excellence in its specific genre.The Educational Stage (Little Village Playhouse) is where students of all ages (youth and adult) can gain self-esteem while exploring the world of theatre though a professional rehearsal process, master classes, outreach and intensive ensemble work.The Community Stage is a community based theatre that will offer the best in contemporary and classic musicals and dramas. From Rogers and Hammerstein to Sondheim. From Shakespeare to Shepard. The Mainstage will continue the efforts of the original beloved Chappaqua Drama Group.The Main Stage is a professional theatre that will indulge audiences looking for more avant-garde, edgy material as well as new works, cabaret, workshops, and readings.
