Arc Stages is a new theatre arts center, created by merging the 50-year legacy of the Chappaqua Drama Group (CDG) with the established Pleasantville based educational theatre company, Little Village Playhouse (LVP). Together the two theatre companies have metamorphosed into a new and vital professional quality company whose overall objective is to bring different types of theatre and arts education to the surrounding communities. As the parent company, Arc Stages will encompass three different theatre groups: The Educational Stage (Little Village Playhouse), Main Stage, and the Community Stage. Each will offer artistic excellence in its specific genre. The Educational Stage (Little Village Playhouse) is where students of all ages (youth and adult) can gain self-esteem while exploring the world of theatre though a professional rehearsal process, master classes, outreach and intensive ensemble work. The Community Stage is a community based theatre that will offer the best in contemporary and classic musicals and dramas. From Rogers and Hammerstein to Sondheim. From Shakespeare to Shepard. The Mainstage will continue the efforts of the original beloved Chappaqua Drama Group. The Main Stage is a professional theatre that will indulge audiences looking for more avant-garde, edgy material as well as new works, cabaret, workshops, and readings.
