Proscenium Theater that opens on the back to an outdoor venue?

I'm wondering if anyone has come across a theater that has a regular indoor venue on one side, and an ampitheater on the other side -- basically, the back of the flytower opens onto to a grassy hillside.
There is one I know of in Craryville, NY, but I cannot find good pictures of it. If anyone knows of others?

Totally off-topic, THCS is 8 miles from my front door. A very sophisticated venue for our area, I must say.
I once played a theater in fla that opened to the ocean out the back of the stage.
@breed: close, but not what I'm looking for -- having the back wall open on a vista is surprisingly common, this is sort of "two theaters in one" where there's a fully indoor space (with a flytower) and a fully outdoor seating area that looks in through the "back wall" so you can do performances with an outdoor audience and/or an indoor audience.
@gail: that's pretty cool. As far as I can find, it's unique! You wouldn't happen to know anyone involved in the drama program there? (I'm also looking for people to talk to)
@bpeoples; sorry, I have no connection to that community and was frankly astonished to see the picture of the theater. Only 1680 students in all three schools (lower, middle and HS.) I wonder where the $$$ came from. It is also in a low-density pop. area and draws from a geographically large community. There is a new state-of-the art indoor swimming pool and exercise room. Big bucks from somewhere. I can connect you to the NYC folks who make movies and have second homes here, but not theatre folks.
