Spotlight Theatre Company was founded by current directors, Pat Concilio and John T Leonard, at the Holy Spirit Church in Cortlandt Manor in 1996. Godspell was the first show, with Nunsense following in June of 1997 and Anything Goes in September of 1997. Due to artistic and space limitations at the church, in February of 1998 the Company relocated to the Tom Thumb Pre School in Mohegan Lake, which has a theatre seating capacity of 110. The Company has been giving performances there ever since to rave reviews by community and press alike.

Caramoor Center for Music & the Arts
Caramoor is best known for its annual International Music Festival, which attracts the world's greatest classical, operatic, and jazz artists, and where the Orchestra of St. Luke's enjoys an official residency. Caramoor maintains an extraordinary collection of Renaissance and Asian art in its House Museum, a large, rambling Mediterranean-style palazzo, which was the former home of Caramoor's founders - Walter Tower Rosen and Lucie Bigelow Dodge Rosen. Their art, furniture, costume, and photography collections are the subjects of frequent exhibitions. During the spring and fall, concerts are held indoors in the House Museum's elegant Music Room, where chamber music, mid-week recitals, and cabaret concerts are presented. The Caramoor estate is situated on 90 lovely acres, designed to be a jewel-like setting for its musical events, as well as a place for pleasurable strolling and picnicking. Its nine unique gardens were planned to enhance the site's Renaissance sensibility.
