We've come a long way -- from the Barn to Off Broadway ... and beyond!

Since its founding in 1977 by Brancato and Fran Newman-McCarthy, Penguin Rep has entertained more than 400,000 people with outstanding productions of 150 plays. And not just any plays either, but new works by established and emerging writers.
Plays starring great professional actors.
Plays that move from Stony Point, New York across the country and around the world, from the stage to TV and film.
Angelo Parra's "The Devil's Music: The Life & Blues of Bessie Smith", nominated for Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel, Audelco and Off Bway Alliance Awards, began life at Penguin and, after a lengthy run Off Broadway, moved to the prestigious Montreal Jazz Festival, the Cincinnati Playhouse, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, and the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise.
The Broadway musical and Academy Award-winning film "Finding Neverland" originated as a play commissioned and premiered by Penguin.
The New York Times dubbed Penguin "the gutsiest little theatre": "Guided by the skilled hand of Penguin's artistic director, Joe Brancato, the splendid performers get first-rate support, as always at Penguin, by an excellent design team."

TevaLand Sanctuary Farm
TevaLand Sanctuary
Hillburn, NY
https://www.tevaland.org/
TevaLand Sanctuary Farm is a 501(c)3 non-profit farm animal sanctuary located in the historic Ramapo Mountains in Rockland County, New York.
TevaLand began as a small sustainable homestead on a woodland property. Every fence and many structures on the farm were constructed by animal advocates on a privately funded “shoestring” budget, primarily using recycled and salvaged materials. This passion and dedication served to transform an idyllic mountaintop location into a safe haven for abused, neglected, or abandoned farm animals.
Today, TevaLand offers a variety of educational programs which encourage participants to both heal and be nurtured by nature via a mutually beneficial, hands-on, therapeutic process.
People within special needs communities, schools, colleges, and all walks of life have the opportunity to take an active part in the rehabilitation of rescued animals. By helping Tevaland’s animals achieve calm and balance, people discover their own capacity for love, kindness, compassion, and inner-peace.
