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…
