HISTORY
THE OPEN EYE THEATER is the primary project of FOUNDATION FOR THE OPEN EYE, INC. a not-for-profit corporation founded in 1972 in New York City by famed dancer-choreographer Jean Erdman and her husband the renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell. In the late 1980s and 1990s, under the leadership of producing artistic director Amie Brockway, the theater gained national recognition as a developer and producer of leading plays for young and multi-generational audiences. THE OPEN EYE began a summer program in The Catskill Mountains in 1991, and expanded to year-round programming here in 1994. In 2000, with support from The New York State Council on the Arts, THE OPEN EYE THEATER entered an Empire State Partnership with Margaretville Central School, creating and implementing innovative classroom projects that use theater arts in the core curriculum grades K-12. School residencies are available throughout the area.
MISSION
THE OPEN EYE THEATER is dedicated to creating, developing, and producing plays for a diverse audience in the Catskill Mountains; providing children, youth and adult artists-in-training with quality hands-on education and theater arts experience. It is further dedicated to developing a new theater audience in the villages of the Catskill Mountains. THE OPEN EYE THEATER program includes a Main Stage Season, a Rehearsed Readings Series, after school and summer Youth Theater Workshops, occasional weekend workshops, and other special events. A unique feature of these programs is the opportunity for local young people and adults to study, rehearse, and perform with guest professional theater artists and top playwrights in the field of theater for young and family audiences.
