“When people hear the word “Catskills” they almost immediately think “comedy.” Though Hunter is geographically in the Great Northern Catskills, and not physically linked to the infamous Borscht Belt traditions of Sullivan County, we’re excited to help Josh Fromer create a spoke in the Maude Adams Theater Hub dedicated to stand-up performance. You could say that with Comedy in the Catskills we’re inaugurating the Wurst Belt,” said Amy Scheibe, creative director of MATH.

Maude Adams Theater Hub (MATH) was created in January 2022 by four community theater veterans (Chris Cade, Amy Scheibe, Myra Garcia, Shannon Sambrook), and is graciously underwritten by the Catskill Mountain Foundation in Hunter, NY. MATH’s mission is to provide affordable community theater experiences while underwriting productions of all shapes and sizes via the Catskill Mountain Foundation Community Performance/ Arts Fund (CMF CP/AF).
