Thursday May 9, 2024 at 7pm
Cost: $10
Putnam History Museum, 63 Chestnut Street, Cold Spring
Dr. April M. Beisaw will speak about the research behind her new book Taking Our Water for the City.

In this talk, she will highlight her Putnam County work and its findings. Maps illustrating landscape changes over time will be shared and available for attendees to take home. April M. Beisaw is a professor of anthropology at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie. There she teaches courses on archaeology, museums, forensics, and Native American culture. April is an archaeologist of the relatively recent past. Her active research projects use archaeological methods and theories to investigate the New York City water system and the New York State county poorhouses. This work brings April, and her Vassar students, into communities to collaboratively explore how the past shapes the present.

Nancy O'Hara "Pressing Matters"
On view through May 12, 2024
43 South 3rd Street, Hudson
For “Pressing Matters” O'Hara has created numerous new, large scale monoprints for the windows and indoor exhibition space. Along with these new works hang smaller works which inspired the project. An O’Hara print gives the viewer a collection of simple abstract shapes to meditate on, asking us to consider their color, their blurred or hard borders, how they overlap, and how these shapes relate to one another. She would not tell a viewer what to feel when they look at her work, but for her the intent is clear. She hopes to communicate with people - to communicate her joy of life and the peace and tranquility that she feels. This joy doesn’t necessarily come easy, the pressing matters in our world weigh on her, but through meditation and her artistic practice, she is able to find daily peace. windowonhudson.org

Catskill Public Theater unveils “Terror”
July 9-11, July 16-18 and July 24-25, 2024
Cost: Free
Roscoe’s Fireman’s Field
"Terror," written by the acclaimed Ferdinand Von Schirach and directed by the esteemed Leon J. Van Dyke, unfolds within the high-stakes environment of a military tribunal. The play scrutinizes the actions of a USAF Fighter pilot who makes the harrowing decision to shoot down a commercial airliner, carrying 170 passengers, to prevent a terrorist attack reminiscent of 9/11 on a packed sports stadium. The question posed to the audience is as compelling as it is haunting: Is the pilot a murderer, or is he a disciplined, professional warrior acting in the defense of his country? In a unique and highly theatrical twist, the audience is entrusted with the role of the jury. During intermission, audience members will cast their votes to determine the pilot’s innocence or guilt. This decision directly influences the course of the performance, with two distinct second acts prepared to reflect the verdict of the audience jurors.
