Voice Theatre, NYC & Kingston, NY — Local services in City of Kingston

As a seasoned avid theatre-goer, mainly in NYC, I have been so pleased, so inspired by the theatrical productions presented by Voice Theatre in Woodstock, NY. Beginning with Thornton Wilder's "Skin of our Teeth" in 2017, which was so relevant, such a night of theatre; to Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" in 2018, easily as professional as any off-Broadway play I've seen in NYC, a defining moment in American theatre, everyone present in the theatre spellbound, caught up in the predicament of the human condition; to Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit" in 2019, done in the spirit of Woodstock, but with Coward's keen and satiric intelligence, the acting so good; and even Wilder's "Our Town" on Zoom this year, which held me transfixed.

I can only imagine what the next production will be!! Stay tuned!! Tell your friends...

I had the pleasure of attending a Voice Theatre production two years ago, and I was deeply impressed by the caliber of the performances and the overall production. As a writer developing my own play, I decided to explore the acting process from the inside out—to deepen my understanding of the craft and bring a new level of authenticity to my work.

The classroom environment is both challenging and supportive—a safe space where artists of all levels can take creative risks and grow. I highly recommend Voice Theatre for anyone interested in acting, whether for adults or children, as well as for its inspiring annual productions that continue to raise the bar for...

This is a distinctive theatre company which stages productions in NYC and Woodstock that are always entertaining, thought-provoking and timely, with a history that includes national and international productions and a mix of classic and contemporary, cutting-edge plays. In artistic director Shauna Kanter’s very able hands, Voice Theatre’s productions invariably speak to what is happening in the world around us and keeps art alive and vital. The actors are excellent. Some of my favorite productions include Birds on a Wire (written and directed by Shauna Kanter), Our Country’s Good and All My Sons (which I thought was significantly better than the recent Broadway production). I look forward to more! An added bonus is that Voice Theatre is very community-minded, promoting educational initiatives and the work of organizations in the local community that help those in need and...
