Powerhouse Summer Season
Each summer, Vassar & New York Stage and Film's Powerhouse Theater offers new plays and musicals by award-winning writers, including Pulitzer, Tony, Oscar, and Obie-winners. Powerhouse provides its audience a window into the creative process of some of the nation’s top artists and writers as they engage in the rigorous development of plays and musicals, before going on to larger stages in New York, across the country, and around the world. Powerhouse Theater season is located on the historic Vassar College campus in New York’s Hudson Valley.
