Doylestown, PA—On December 4th at noon, in the house where the songs and lyrics for some of the most famous musical theater shows were written: Oklahoma, Carousel, The King and I, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music, a press conference led by Greg Roth, President of The Oscar Hammerstein Museum & Theatre Education Center informed the community that the property was purchased earlier in the day and the nonprofit is now finally the owner of Highland Farm.

Present at the event was Pennsylvania State Senator Steve Santarsiero, Doylestown Township Supervisor Jenn Herring, Executive Director of the Bucks County Industrial Development Authority, TJ Lonergan, IDA Board member Mary Smithson, former Doylestown Mayor Ron Strouse, members of the Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theatre Education Center Board and very special guests, family members Will and Mandee Hammerstein and Jenny Hammerstein.

The board worked tirelessly for years to raise enough funding, approximately two million dollars, and after purchasing the property yesterday, they will now embark on a new campaign to raise the funds necessary to renovate the entire property and build a theatre education center where the plan is to provide theatre, music, and performance programming for the community.

Greg thanked former and current board members Jamie Rogers, Vice President, Christine Junker, Secretary and Treasurer, Judy Abrams, Matt Britten, Amy Cinque, Van Dean, Sasha Eisenberg, Lori Kesilman, Vanessa Kirchner, Mike Peters, Grace Alfiero, Keith Fenimore and Meg Roth for their work in creating awareness and helping to raise the funds necessary for the purchase. Former board member Lori Kesilman commented, “I know that Oscar would be so proud of our mission to educate children of all backgrounds who are interested in all aspects of writing and musical theater arts. Today’s purchase is a result of the hard work of so many people. I am truly…
