The Opera House and Ball Room were used by the school to stage theatrical productions and hold dances for many years after the move. It was on this stage that Henry Montgomery, a student at Pawling School, made his acting debut on February 5, 1921. He played the part of Mrs. Ralston in "Nothing But the Truth," a play written by James Montgomery.
