Depot Theater
Hidden in the trees overlooking a broad blue bay on Lake Champlain is a treasure. An 1876 train station, restored to the height of its historic charm sits atop a hill in friendly, relaxed Westport, New York.
But inside the station – magic! World-class professional theatre artists amaze and astound, bringing to life old favorites and soon-to-be classics of the American stage. There is no opportunity like this anywhere – to see national quality theatre, then walk into the starry breathless Adirondack evening at intermission.
The Depot Theatre proudly continues its 30 year tradition of professional theatre nestled in the stunning scenic splendor of the Adirondack Park. Your journey begins here…
Enjoy an evening at the Depot Theater while docked at Westport, NY on your Lake Discovery Cruise.
