Have an idea for a show you’d like to perform at either Tusten Theatre or Krause Recital Hall?

You’re in the right place!

DVAA’s performing arts program features high-quality work by both emerging and professional artists with an emphasis on those who live and work full or part-time in the Mid-Hudson, Catskill, or Upper Delaware River Regions. 

Our programming includes theatrical productions, spoken word, live music spanning classical music and jazz to singer/songwriters and immersive soundscapes, puppetry, film, dance, experimental theater, children’s programming, staged readings, and more. 

DVAA is committed to providing rural audiences with access to intimate live performance experiences that spotlight artistic excellence, invite engagement, and blur the boundaries of traditional art forms.

Never-before-seen works, emerging artists, and performers from historically marginalized backgrounds are particularly encouraged to submit. We are committed to accessibility and performers of all abilities are welcome.
