About Deertrees Theatre

Founded in 1936 as an opera house by renowned singer and director Enrica Clay Dillon, Deertrees Theatre has welcomed generations of Broadway stars, local actors, world-class musicians, and eager students into its warm wooden embrace. Tucked into the rolling foothills of Southern Maine’s Lakes Region, this picturesque retreat has long served as both a sanctuary and a cultural hub for artists.  Celebrated for its near-perfect acoustics, the theatre’s rose hemlock structure, built from wood harvested directly from the property, features hand-carved beams, doors, trim, and light fixtures that glow with craftsmanship and history. Lovingly restored and maintained, Deertrees is proudly listed on Maine’s State Register of Historic Landmarks and recognized as a National Historic Landmark property.

Built on an old deer run above the charming village of Harrison, the theatre overlooks forests nestled between beautiful lakes. Each summer from late June through early September, this certified nonprofit presents an eclectic lineup of theatre, comedy, family entertainment, and concerts.

Deertrees Theatre is located at 156 Deertrees Road in Harrison. All ticket prices include a $2 Heritage Fee supporting ongoing restoration of this historic treasure.
