ABOUT EST

MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (2021)

Marie Hasenplfug has acted as intermittent Executive Director of this non-profit organization since its incorporation in 1980. Originally named “The Queen City Stage”, the company produced several full seasons of professional theater in Poughkeepsie, NY before being reorganized as “The River Valley Rep” at Marist College under the leadership of Matt Andrews, James Stienmeyer and Nancy Auffarth.

 

In 2018, after an inactive period, the company was reactivated as Eastside Studio Theater, with  Marie Hasenpflug again taking the executive rein. Under this latest label, Eastside Studio Theater has presented staged readings of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, CASABLANCA, MURDER BY DEATH, ARSENIC & OLD LACE, and A CHRISTMAS STORY, both online and live in Backyard Theatre.
