Enjoyed Behive so much. Looking forward to Alter boys tonight.
Very nice venue. The 75th Anniversary show was terrific. Glad the Playhouse is open again.
Got to see a fantastic show tonight: Altar Boys! Always a GREAT experience here. Highly recommended!
This is a little gem in Forestburgh. Took my friends to see one of the shows and can’t wait to go again. Beautiful grounds as well.
I love going there every year. They always have a great selection of plays to see for adults and children. Highly recommended for anyone who loves theater but doesnt want to go to the city. The staff is friendly and always make you feel like you are home.
Beautiful venue with amazing outdoor area.
My family has been season ticket holders for nearly 45 years. This is a GREAT theater, dare I say better than some Broadway shows... Our summer would not be complete without the Playhouse. We also recommend the pre/post show cabaret, the food is good and the kids always do a great job. You can tell they love what they do and they work their tails off!
Fab night out, stay for the cabaret. How beautiful are the gardens?
Very beautiful grounds around the playhouse. I suggest you go early to walk around / sit and enjoy them.
Up-and-coming, Broadway-bound singers and dancers perform delightful schedule of classic and current musical theater production. Great performances in concerted barn. We have season tickets.Cabaret performances with food and drink after. Great evening.
Great show the kids are fantastic.....so much talent love the play house
Visited summer 2014 and we just loved every minute. Our grandson was in two shows, and he is back again in Damn Yankees (with the most amazing review I have ever read about anyone!) and is also Shrek. More to come this summer too. You wont be disappointed in the quality of the production or the delightful location. Only wish we could spend the summer there too!
Don’t go to the Children’s production on Thursdays, they fill the entire place with loud and rowdy camps and non-campers have no where to sit together because everything’s reserved for the camps. The performance was wonderful, as always.
We just attended a show at Forestburgh, Young Frankenstein. It was one of the best shows I have seen anywhere. Casting was superb It was every bit as good as Broadway. If you havent experienced Forestburgh Playhouse make the time to do so.We are so lucky to have this Playhouse in our area.
Great fun in the summer, and the performers always seem glad to go out into the garden, after the show, to meet and greet the children. Really memorable place.
Love seeing shows here the staff is super friendly and the shows are a delight 😀
If youve never been here for a show, then this should be the year to go. The performers are a hard working, extremely talented, ensemble of people dedicated to the art of entertaining their audience.
Seats are very uncomfortable and you cant see anything because tall ppl sit in front of you. The show was great and fun! I enjoyed mama mia! I would go again.
Love this place and their productions. I have so many great memories from when I worked there.
Incredible and Magical experience in the Catskills under Franklins Warm Leadership.Never ever disappointed!
Been going since I was a kid. It gets better each year! Always top quality professional performances. Saw The Producers and loved it!
We just saw Newsies and it was great. The actors put on a Broadway level performance of a physically demanding musical. Fun evening, including the always joyous cabaret .
No a/c on that could be felt.....Great performance of play Hair
2018 has brought one of the most successful seasons ever to the Playhouse. Producer Franklin Trapp has cast an excellent company of resident actors along with Broadway actors in the leads for a season that has something for everyone. The childrens theater production of Seussical the Musical is one of the best things I have ever seen at the Playhouse- its an extra delight. And the gardens are just gorgeous! Dont miss seeing something at this Catskills jewel- the oldest summer stock theater in New York State.
My immediate family and I have been season ticket holders of the Miracle in the Forest Forestburgh Playhouse for over ten years now, and prior to that my grandparents were for another 10-15 years. The quality of the shows has always been superb. The college age resident company each summer is always fantastic.A few years ago Franklin Trapp took ownership of the playhouse, and since then he has only improved on the outstanding quality weve already come to know and love. He has renovated the Tavern and garden area, putting in a large patio, and has now expanded the playhouse season with a fall Tavern series of weekend events such as live music performances, drag shows, comedians, etc. Anyone in the Sullivan County area during the summer and fall looking for something fun to do, should definitely consider the FB Playhouse. 5+ stars!
Fantastic, the show was great. Good time!
I love forestburgh playhouse! They are just as good as city plays and a lot less travel and not the big city crowds. I would definitely recommend. Amazing plays;)
A wonderful place to visit!! Performance is always great!! Atmosphere is very pleasant and a must see and do if your in Sullivan /Orange county!
Actors are highly skilled, sound system was great and every seat is a good one.Will definitely become a season ticket owner.
Cabaret food was good. Service very good. Entertainment was at times offensive to straight people. Play was as always full of wonderful talent.

2018-11-10A premier LOCAL playhouse offering big name productions with enthusiastic and amazingly talented Thespians, and no need to travel into NYC! When I say, I laughed... I cried, We really did 😀 At every show 😄😣 We are Summer Season subscribers, and now also enjoy the after show Cabarets. You must try Forestburgh!

2018-07-11Wonderful place for dinner date night with friends. We did the combination Cabaret show.The diner was very tasty and portions are generous and seconds were available if you want more.The Cabaret show was beautiful performance and live music accompanied the musicians.The music selection was a hit with the crowd.The musical we then saw was “Kiss Me Kate “This was an outstanding performance by the actors who sang beautifully and the energy was wonderful.We throughly enjoyed the performance and the evening.Prices are reasonable and drinks (alcohol) are available too.We will return.

2021-09-12While staying at an AirBnB in the area we found the Forestburgh Playhouse and it was awesome. I suggest going early to walk the grounds as the flowers and gardens were beautiful.
