Deertrees Theatre Ltd

About the Artist

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.

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, the theatre is operated as a non-profit organization and presents a diverse schedule of performances and events, both musical and theatrical, every summer.
