The newest venue on our campus opened in 2025 a flexible black box theater space beautifully integrated into its environment, with massive sliding doors that connect the indoor stage to the natural landscape of the Pillow. The venue offers a modular environment where the stage and seating can be redefined for each contract. It is the first of its kind to be built with a native digital backbone, making it just as capable of hosting a global livestream as it is a wedding dinner.

Built in 1942 as the first theater in America designed specifically for dance, the Ted Shawn Theatre is the heart of the Pillow campus. No need to rent a back up rain tent—this amazing site also serves as a last-minute alternative venue in the event of inclement weather.

The historic Tea Garden and the adjacent Bakalar Studio (a refurbished New England barn) are natural and unique spaces that allow guests to mingle both inside and outside.
