The Schoolhouse Theater, Westchester’s oldest professional company, is opening its doors again with a new season of exceptional performances. It’s been a difficult last few years, and The Schoolhouse Theater, while shuttered like so many others, has shown its grit and determination with more than 100 Zoom performances during the pandemic. That is reason enough to bust out a celebratory bottle of champagne to honor the actors and audiences who kept our spirits up, our sense of humanity, hope, and purpose alive during those difficult times, and who grew in size to a subscriber list of more than 7,000 audience members.

We all know what gratitude for such gritty resilience feels like. Now’s the time, however, to marshal and focus a new form of gratitude, in practical ways that will enable The Schoolhouse Theater to complete its first, post-pandemic season of live performances that will include the following:

 A revival of the Tony-award winning play Red, by John Logan, about the abstract-expressionist painter Mark Rothko;

 The world premiere of Grant and Twain, by Elizabeth Diggs—about the surprising relationship between two unlikely friends: Ulysses S. Grant and Samuel L. Clemens;

 Joan Ross Sorkin’s (mis)Understanding Mammy, about the remarkable life of Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an Academy Award.
