In Maine...

“The friendly town of Harrison, Maine lays between two lakes with mountains rising beyond them and was as beautiful a spot as I’ve ever seen. It was a tiny town ‘population 200’ with three streets. We found the theatre just beyond the third street and it was as enchanting as its setting. The handsome log-cabin playhouse stood in the center of a hushed clearing circled by pine woods. As we walked around to the back of the theatre the ground under our feet was a thick carpet of pine needles.”

At Deertrees Theatre, we believe the performing and visual arts are an essential part of life in our area of Western Maine. We are dedicated to the cultivation and active participation of a wide range of artists and audiences across generations – locally and beyond- and to the preservation of our nationally historic landmark building.
