OUR 85th Anniversary SEASON (2021) will be programmed with the utmost attention to the safety and health (and FUN!) of our patrons, performers, volunteers and staff. We will be reducing the seating capacity to afford social distancing and ensure that the theatre utilizes its large open screened windows and doors to afford wonderful open air circulation. See our safety guidelines here. Our 85th Anniversary GALA Party will be on August 7th this year! Please join us!

2021 marks our 85th Season...
In 1936 a stunning opera house was built on the site of an old deer run in the forest above the friendly village of Harrison, Maine, Deertrees Theatre. The theatre was the vision of opera singer Enrica Clay-Dillon. It was designed by Harrison G. Wiseman, a famous theatre architect of the day who was instructed to “create the most acoustically and technically perfect theatre possible”. Constructed of rose hemlock, in the Adirondack Style, with hand-carved fixtures and near perfect acoustics, the 300 seat theatre was considered as fine as any on Broadway! Now listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, Deertrees is operated as a non-profit organization and presents a diverse schedule of performances and events, both musical and theatrical, every summer. Our promise to you continues to be focused on making your summers in the Western Lakes and Mountains Region of Maine, "A Magical Experience", you and yours will remember for a lifetime.
