The Artistic Director

• After high school, Alyson Colin left the United
  States for The London Academy of Music and
  Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). Upon graduating for their
  Three Year Acting Course BA (Hons), she returned
  to New York where she stage managed, directed and
  acted in plays on and off Broadway. For a short
  time she experimented with film productions, but
  soon left realizing nothing could ever compare
  to the joy I receive just walking through those
  theatre doors. Alyson has since settled down
  with her husband and child adopted from Beijing ,
  China in Springfield, Vermont and is currently
  the Artistic Director for The Toppling Tree House
  Theatre.

Our Mission Statement to You.

• The Toppling Tree House Theatre promises to have
  a show for everyone every season. We strive to
  give the children, youth and adults of our
  community a safe and environmental friendly place
  to spend their evenings. We have been voted the
  Greenest Entertainment Hot Spot in all of
  Vermont. Come here and leave feeling guilt free
  knowing that your program has been printed on
  100 recycled paper. Everyday we work to improve
  our environment by promoting recycling to our
  community. This theatre truly is unlike any
  other. In fact, we hope to soon be able to
  provide transportation for the majority of our
  audience each night by the way of the new hybrid
  car to save them gasoline and money. Our goal is
  to give you the best experience possible while at
  the same time improving the world around us.
