Mission
The mission of the Ancram Center for the Arts is to engage, entertain and forge connection in rural Ancram and beyond through the performing arts.
Vision
We envision individuals and communities being empowered, healthier, and happier when the arts are part of everyday life.
The Three Pillars of Our Work
Staging intimate acts of courageous storytelling
Our theatrical season is packed with surprising, thought-provoking, and refreshingly entertaining productions that break the fourth wall and deeply engage with our small audiences.
Inspiring a vibrant, empathetic community
Our free workshops give local friends, neighbors, and public school students a chance to build personal self-expression skills and confidently expand their connection to others.
Cultivating bold, new theatrical artists
Our artists-in-residency program supports bold creators who represent unexpected new perspectives, crafting innovative works for Ancram Center and beyond.
Every one-of-a-kind experience is intended to encourage new perspectives that deepen our understanding of ourselves and one another, and to foster an appreciation for the vibrant community we all share.
