Stagedoor Manor

Stagedoor Manor is a performing arts training center located in Loch Sheldrake, New York.

Stagedoor Manor is located in a former Catskills Borscht Belt resort (Karmel Hotel) in Loch Sheldrake, New York, that was redesigned in the 1970s.

The program's impact on the careers and networking of child actors was described by film director Shawn Levy in the June 15, 2007, edition of The New York Post: "If someone plays that Stagedoor card, it's like whispering the location of a party with a secret location...I could sing you that song from the camp's yearly cabaret, and that's the equivalent of the secret handshake.

Maltby and Shire conducted a special workshop with the cast during the rehearsal period and also attended the opening night performance.

Stagedoor Manor regularly partners with MTI and has done workshop productions (for School Editions) of Aida, Miss Saigon, Avenue Q, Rent, Sweeney Todd, and The Wild Party.
