Description of Orpheus Theatre
Orpheus Theatre was founded by Oneonta resident and SUCO ( State University College at Oneonta) professor, Peter Macris, who also founded the renowned Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown , NY in the 1970's. A devotee of both opera and musical theatre, Mr. Macris sought out the resourcefulness and talents of area residents and business leaders to bring a theatre company of its own to Oneonta. In 1984, Orpheus Theatre made its debut to the public in true theatrical style with a production of The Sound of Music at the historic Oneonta Theatre which in the 1920's was a regular stop for performers on the vaudeville circuit. Thus, Orpheus Theatre was born and has been going strong ever since. In 1995, Orpheus moved from the Oneonta Theatre to its current home at the Goodrich Theatre on the SUCO campus. Firmly rooted in the community, Orpheus continues to pull from the large talent pool of area residents for all areas of production including performing, directing, choreographing, costume design, lighting and set design and musical direction. On occasion, actors and production personnel are hired from New York City to compliment our productions. This makes Orpheus Theatre productions a unique experience by blending the best of both worlds.
