点评:Theater lovers would be glad to know that one of the best-kept secrets here in the Catskills and Hudson Valley is just a scenic 35-minute drive in the countryside from us.
Every summer, the Forestburgh Playhouse — the oldest continuously operating summer theater in New York State — springs to life with music, movement, light, color and costumes as it regales visitors to the beautiful Catskills with Broadway classics, original musicals, festivals and cabaret shows.
Founded by a troupe of Broadway performers who made their way up from New York City in 1947 and lovingly restored an old barn into a theater with an adjoining tavern, the Playhouse has since gone on to launch the careers of young performers, technicians, writers, and composers.
In the past, we had watched Matilda, Addams Family and Willy Wonka. The productions delight not just kids, but adults as well. Where else can you hike in the Catskills or Shawangunk mountains in the morning, take a short drive over to a beautiful barn to catch a Broadway musical for a very reasonable ticket price, then head on over to a nearby lake or stream with your tackle box?
翻译:戏剧爱好者会很高兴知道,卡茨基尔和哈德逊河谷最鲜为人知的秘密之一距离我们只有 35 分钟的乡村风景车程。
每年夏天,Forestburgh 剧院——纽约州历史最悠久的夏季剧院——都会以音乐、动作、灯光、色彩和服装为生,为美丽的卡茨基尔的游客提供百老汇经典、原创音乐剧、节日和歌舞表演。
剧院由一群百老汇演员于 1947 年从纽约市来到此地,精心将一座旧谷仓改造成剧院,并附带一家酒馆,自成立以来,剧院便开始为年轻演员、技术人员、作家和作曲家的职业生涯提供舞台。
过去,我们看过《玛蒂尔达》、《亚当斯一家》和《威利旺卡》。这些作品不仅让孩子感到愉悦,也让成年人感到愉悦。还有什么地方,你可以早上在卡茨基尔山或肖旺根山徒步旅行,然后驱车前往美丽的谷仓,以非常合理的票价观看百老汇音乐剧,然后带着渔具箱前往附近的湖泊或小溪?
