Professional theatre and the Adirondacks aren’t necessarily two things most people put together. Yet in a restored railroad station overlooking Lake Champlain, audiences gather every summer to experience exactly that.

The Depot Theatre in Westport has spent decades proving that world-class theatre doesn’t require a Broadway address. It requires talent, creativity, community support, and a place willing to bring artists and audiences together.

On this episode of ADK Talks, hosts Jane and Steve sit down with Artistic Director Aaron Jodoin and Academy Director Gigi Mason to explore how the Depot Theatre continues to thrive as one of the Adirondacks’ most distinctive cultural destinations.

“The holidays are a time to revisit old classics, whether it’s your favorite Christmas movies or annual performances of the Nutcracker. This Sunday, the Depot Theatre Academy in Westport is revisiting the Charles Dickens tale, ‘A Christmas Carol.’

It will be the 4th annual presentation of the story in the form of a radio play, written by Philip Grecian and performed at the Whallonsburg Grange. The play is co-directed by Amy Fitts and Gigi Mason and begins at 3 pm.

Mason spoke with Emily Russell about the performance, which will raise money and collect food donations for local pantries.”
