Guided Forest Bathing Session on the Lunar New Year
Saturday, February 10, 2024 at noon
Cost: $33
10 Fox Rd, Croton-on-Hudson
Welcome a new year, connect with nature in a gentle way, and experience the magic of the Japanese-inspired practice of forest bathing. Explore the forest and connect with nature through a slow-paced, easeful sensory exploration based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku ("forest bathing"). Decades of studies have discovered a wide range of health benefits associated with this practice, including stress relief, better sleep, lowered blood pressure and inflammation, and improved immunity. Your trained and certified guide will lead the way, offering optional invitations designed to help you step into your own authentic way of being in the outdoors. Your guide will also provide: foam cushions to sit on as we interact mindfully with nature, wool blankets for coziness, and a special wild-foraged tea for the final circle. When we intentionally slow ourselves down and awaken our senses, we can find a sense of connection with parts of ourselves and the natural world that we may not have even noticed we were missing. All are welcome. No special skills or equipment required. The walk will cover under 1 mile in distance total, taking plenty of seated breaks along the way for our invitations. Consider this a mini-retreat for the mind, body, and soul. eventbrite.com/e/a-lunar-new-year-guided-forest-bathing-session-registration-799161703167

Cost: $25
44 West Bridge Street, Catskill
She’s a one-woman cabal! Launching this year’s Bridge Street Theatre Solofest – a mini- Festival of four original solo shows – is Philadelphia-based performer Miryam Coppersmith’s “Mirele Lernt Zich Yiddish” (Mirele Learns Yiddish). This celebratory semi-improvised dance/theater piece (different stories every show – no two performances the same!) comes to BST’s “Priscilla” Mainstage, located at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill, for three performances only, March 1-3. With a running time of just over an hour, “Mirele” uses dancing, song, puppetry, and audience interaction as Miryan attempts to reclaim a language that persecution and assimilation squeezed out of Ashkenazi Jewry in the first place. “Mirele” plays Friday and Saturday March 1 and 2 at 7:30pm and Sunday March 3 at 2pm. And for those attending the show on March 2, the performance will be followed by an extended Klezmer Dance Party, featuring Margot Leverett (of The Klezmatics and The Klezmer Mountain Boys), Rabbi Zoe B Zak (of Catskill’s Temple Israel) and Robert Bard, to which the entire audience is invited at no extra cost. bridgest.org/24solofest1/

Cost: $25
44 West Bridge Street, Catskill
Her father was a closeted gay concert pianist, her mother a thrice-married opera singer with impossibly high artistic standards. And the story of a daughter’s journey to Cuba to find her father’s grand piano, left behind when the family fled the Revolution in 1960, is told in Adelaide Mestre’s remarkable, hilarious, heartbreaking and song-filled one-woman show “Top Drawer”, coming to Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre March 8-10 as part of BST’s 2024 SoloFest. Accompanied by Doug Oberhamer at the piano, Mestre revisits her privileged childhood on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in a family that “didn’t talk about things a lot”, her parents’ doomed love affair, her return to Havana to try to reclaim her family’s heritage, and her struggle, as an artist, to break free from the facade of glamor and perfection that her family seemed to prize above all else. It’s an inspiring autobiographical tale of tragedy and triumph, dysfunction and redemption, shared in story and song. bridgest.org/24solofest2/

THE GREAT DIVIDE
Friday, March 15 - Sunday, March 17, 2024; Friday & Saturday at 7:30pm, Sunday at 2pm
Cost: $25
44 West Bridge Street, Catskill
Picture this: a trashy NYC apartment, and a dress that's maybe a bit too daring. A New Year's Eve bash where your latest crush is the only familiar face in the room. Every glance, every laugh, every drink could potentially lead to either your own unique "Meet Cute" or possibly a brutal rejection. Which way will things go? That’s the dilemma facing writer/performer Amy Crossman in her darkly comic solo show “The Great Divide” being presented at Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre May 15-17 as part of BST’s 2024 Solofest. What can you do to ease the pain when a relationship you hoped would last forever fades away and then abruptly – ends? Alternately hysterically funny, heartbreaking, and totally relatable, it’s a tragicomic exploration of what it means to love, to have your heart broken, and then to make a fresh start after the storm. “The Great Divide” will be presented for three performances only – Friday March 15 and Saturday March 16 at 7:30pm and Sunday March 17 at 2:00pm. Bridge Street Theatre is located at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill, NY. Advance tickets for all performances can be purchased online at bridgest.org/24solofest3/ or at the door (subject to availability) one-half hour before each performance.

LONGING LASTS LONGER
March 22-24, 2024; Friday & Saturday at 7:30pm, Sunday at 2:00pm
Cost: $25
44 West Bridge Street, Catskill
Kick-ass comedy with guts! Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre, in collaboration with NYC’s White Horse Theatre Company, closes out its 2024 SoloFest with the legendary downtown performance artist Penny Arcade in her one-woman show “Longing Lasts Longer”. A unique blend of stand-up comedy and memoir set in a riveting rock-and-roll soundscape mixed live onstage by Penny Arcade’s collaborator of 29 years Steve Zehentner, “Longing Lasts Longer” is a fierce, visionary, and ultimately forward-looking critique of the erasure of history, the rise of nostalgia, and the pervasiveness of cultural amnesia created by international gentrification – a crack in our planet’s post-gentrified landscape, shining a light on the path to individual authenticity. This international performance legend, whose name has become globally synonymous with "Downtown New York Art”, combines poetics, comedy, and rock-and-roll into what can only be called cultural critique you can dance to! Advance tickets for all performances can be purchased online at bridgest.org/24solofest4-tickets/ or at the door (subject to availability) one-half hour before each performance.
