The Open Eye Theater, a non-profit theater company for young and multi-generational audiences, was founded in 1972 in New York City by Jean Erdman and her husband, Joseph Campbell, as the primary project of the Foundation for the Open Eye, Inc. The company was originally named The Open Eye: NEW STAGINGS. In 1995, the name was changed to Open Eye Theater and the administrative offices were moved to Delaware County, New York. The move from New York City left the company with no permanent performance venue. Until 2004 the company toured Delaware County and New York City boroughs and was in residence at the Roxbury Arts Center and the Dry Brook Community Center in the Catskill Mountains. The Open Eye Theater moved to a permanent performance and office space in Margaretville, New York in 2004.
