Ever heard of seeing a play in an old Victorian Mansion? Or an Old Mill located in Elizabeth town? Sure, kids are always putting on plays in front of their families at Christmas parties or large get-togethers. What the Cavalcade New York theater company is doing is somewhat revolutionary.

If you make your way through town on Route 3 in Saranac Lake, going west out of town toward Tupper Lake, you will come to a sign that says: “Crescent Bay Inc. Marina.” Turning into the driveway and making your way down the Duso's marina road, you can see the panoramic view of the water and the historic marina complex. The cabins are right on in front of you and on your right there is the lake and the boathouses. The water is named Lower Saranac Lake and flows into a crescent shaped bay, which was named for it's shape. The Lower Lake, as it is commonly called is situated within a chain of lakes, including Middle Saranac and Upper Saranac Lakes. This is a place that seems to be stuck in time but this marina has a history like nothing else.
