Music & Theater In Sullivan County

If one likes music and theater is just doesn't get any better in Sullivan County during the summer months
Having enjoyed a vast musical background during my youth, piano, french horn, drums and choral music, all one has to do is look at the entertainment pages in Sullivan County and you will always find some form of theatre or musical event.
Music in the mountains certainly could be a theme of our now famous Bethel Woods where all types of musical events take place weekly from June into early September. Call 845-454-3388 or visit their web page at www.bethelwoodscenter.org for shows and prices..
If theater is your gig then the best of the best takes place weekly at the Forestburgh Playhouse with great shows like Gypsy, Cabaret, The King & I, The Producers, M Butterfly and Crossing Delancy.
