Paine Castle has returned to business as usual — no longer whispering the secrets of Americana Cosplay through its corridors or shivering with the particular electricity of an audience member holding its breath in a room that time forgot. Our latest production has packed up, the Die-Cast team has returned to Philadelphia (and beyond), and we’ve surrendered those magnificent rooms back to the Fraternity brothers and the March cold. But not before reminding every single person who wandered through Americana Cosplay that we are thankful for your time, participation, support, and engagement. You are what makes this theatre go round!
Spring is creeping up the Hudson, the days are getting longer, the forsythia is about to make its annual dramatic entrance, and there is something almost unbearably hopeful about this time of year — the way the world insists, against all evidence of the long winter, that beautiful things are not only possible but inevitable. And we feel exactly the same way about what’s coming next for TFT.
As always, you know we have fun, exciting, slightly unhinged new work on the horizon, in found spaces with stories aching to be told, and we cannot wait to share them with you. It does, however, require your support to keep going. Specifically, it requires a donation — offered freely and with the same wild trust you’ve shown us in the past when we’ve said “pick a room” or “follow an actor” with little to no other directive. That trust you give us is everything!
If it feels like we are always asking for money, we are! Making ends meet as a small not-for-profit theatre company that supports the creation and presentation of new plays in Upstate New York is HARD, and it gets harder every single day. But we believe in what we do. And if you do too, making a tax-deductible donation today is the best way to show that.

As always, thank you for showing your support in making new theatre!
See you soon, The TFT team ♥
