Our Mountain Stage

Grounded in the Sierra

We believe exceptional performance belongs in the wild. By funding local theatrical productions and hosting visiting creators, we actively enrich the regional creative economy and establish a year-round mountain incubator for professional artistic development.

Our seasonal residencies offer emerging and established artists the quiet space to create, rehearse, and debut new works against a backdrop of raw alpine beauty, connecting local residents and visitors with unforgettable cultural experiences.
