SCDW

The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop
The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop (SCDW) is the oldest continuously operating community theatre organization in Sullivan County, New York, proudly serving the region since 1950. Dedicated to enriching the cultural life of the community, SCDW provides a welcoming space for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to explore, participate in, and enjoy the performing arts.
​
Headquartered at the historic Rivoli Theatre in South Fallsburg, a beautifully preserved 1920s-era venue listed on the National Register of Historic Places—SCDW has transformed this landmark into a vibrant hub for local arts and entertainment. Through its work, the organization preserves the legacy of American community theatre while fostering new talent and creativity.
​
SCDW thrives on volunteer support and community involvement. Whether acting on stage, directing, working behind the scenes, or helping with costumes, sets, or front-of-house operations, members of the community are at the heart of every production. The organization is also committed to theatre education and youth engagement, offering a variety of opportunities for learning and growth through workshops, special events, and performance experiences.
​
SCDW’s mission is rooted in accessibility, inclusion, and artistic excellence - bringing people together through the shared power of storytelling and live performance.
