High Tor

This event is a first reading with the cast so the producers can have a fruitful discussion on how best to fully produce this play later this year. Join us as we put it together.

We are using "High Tor" to celebrate an early environmental success and to better understand current "deals."

In 1936 Rockland County resident, and Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Maxwell Anderson, heard the blasting and saw the trap rock trucks arriving daily to carry away the Palisade Mountains for use in construction elsewhere.

So he wrote a play about a young man who wouldn't sell his inherited mountain homestead to developers trying to acquire the whole area through shady land transactions. With help from the ghosts of Captain Henry Hudson's crew on one thunderous and lightning-streaked night on the summit, he navigates his rights across generations divided by centuries to achieve what we all want - peace, love. security and a life with meaning. 

Feel free to Join us this Saturday at any price you wish. If you wish to join the actors lunch at 2 pm before the reading at 3, choose the "theatre supporter" price which will cover the reading AND our simple lunch.

We expect there will also be a High Tor hike in the next month or so to see the beauty of the mountain described in the play.
