In 1840, William Evans Burton leased the new National Theatre in Philadelphia, and Foster assisted in the stage production of a drama called The Naiad Queen (with Charlotte Cushman playing the queen) arranging the scenes and special effects. The National Theatre also produced a number of Foster's own creations, including two where he played the role of Napoleon. In 1841, he moved to the Walnut Street Theatre. He later managed other Philadelphia theatres, as well as New York theatres including the Chatham Theatre. Foster's Seven Dwarfs played the Bowery Theatre in New York to success in 1869.
