Equestrians' Delight!

Horses are trained and ridden for practical working purposes such as in police work or for controlling herd animals on a ranch. They are also used in competitive sports including, but not limited to, dressage, endurance riding, eventing, reining, show jumping, tent pegging, vaulting, polo, horse racing, driving, and rodeo. Some popular forms of competition are grouped together at horse shows, where horses perform in a wide variety of disciplines. Horses (and other equids such as mules and donkeys) are used for non-competitive recreational riding such as fox hunting, trail riding or hacking. There is public access to horse trails in almost every part of the world; many parks, ranches, and public stables offer both guided and independent riding. Horses are also used for therapeutic purposes, both in specialized paraequestrian competition as well as non-competitive riding to improve human health and emotional development. Our local Green Gables Equestrian Center is located four (4) miles East of the Terre Haute Airport at County Roads 650 West and 500 North.

In 1967, the Indiana General Assembly designated the home a State Shrine and Memorial, and the National Music Council listed it as "A Landmark of American Music".

Community Theatre of Terre Haute

Music, Laughter, Drama, Romance... CT's 84th season has something for everyone! On behalf of the Board of Directors of Community Theatre of Terre Haute I would like to welcome you to our 84th season. We are very excited about the plays on the main stage and the Oakley theater: The Seven-Year Itch, Doubt: A Parable, Grey Gardens, The Graduate, God’s Favorite, and Yellowman. The first play, a comedy, is the original version of a famous film. The second deals with a controversial subject. We hope you stay to discuss it with us. Our musical presents the story of the eccentric relative of Jackie Kennedy. The fourth play, also a comedy, is an adaptation of film. The final play deals with Neil Simon’s view of a well-known Biblical story. The Oakley stage play examines the relationship between personal and public history in an intense two-person show. We hope that with each of these performances you experience for a few hours the magic that is live theater. Each volunteer is part of the process of creating this magic. The joy of working on a play is having an impact no matter how small or large in creating a world that lives for a time on the stage. Everything we do at Community Theatre depends of the work of volunteers. We are always looking for new people to join us. Don’t worry if you have no experience. We will be happy to find a place for you to start and will train you to do any job that interests you. Then you too can share in the joy of bringing life to words on a page in a script. The Community Theatre of Terre Haute operates through the sale of tickets, donations and grants. By purchasing a ticket you have helped us create a special world on the stage.
