Saturday, June 29: One of the Hudson Valley’s leading musical exports, the horn-powered global pop sensation plays a local show in the intimate downstairs space of the Falcon. The band’s latest single is a cover of Sophia George’s 1985 dancehall hit “Girlie Girlie.”
Frances Roth and Katherine Angell opened the institute in 1946, determined to establish a school that would become “the culinary center of the nation” and believing that America could have “the best meals on earth.”
Monday, July 1: Switzer is the first woman to officially register and run the Boston Marathon (and the subject of a very famous photograph) and the author of Marathon Woman, which has recently been optioned for a major featurelength film. Robinson is the author of When Running Made History, a new book that redefines the contribution of running to modern society via eyewitness stories from the last 70 years.

The rationale for a Toy Story 4 to happen had to be a good one – something beyond guaranteed great box office and merchandising potential.

Saturday, June 29: Of all the giants that Warren has fêted and roasted (Cash, Cohen, others), it is his acoustic David Bowie tribute that has perhaps drawn best (hard to say, though, as sold out is sold out and there is no way to count the heads looking in the window).
The ’zine age, as well as the work of such cartoon memoirists as Linda Barry, has demonstrated that the graphic narrative form is well-suited to intimate miniatures (if Edward Gorey hadn’t already made the point), but Nonsecal is something else entirely; it is short but grand and maximalist, visually and conceptually.
The first ascent into Grinds & Grains, the coffee and cereal bar, now open upstairs at 3 Church Street in New Paltz, can feel a bit overwhelming.
June 20-July 28: The storied theater lab inherits a complex, dual responsibility: to entertain, challenge and edify us as good theater does, and to serve as Petri dish for the cultivation of new growth in a time when biodiversity has been largely choked out of the biggest stages.
Saturday/Sunday, June 22/23: This celebration of all things handmade at the Dutchess Fairgrounds features contemporary crafts and art, gourmet specialty foods, tastings from Hudson Valley distilleries and wineries, interactive craft demonstrations and family activities.
Saturday, June 23: Almost all performers who got their start at the grind of standup feel driven to return to it from time to time, to reearn their stripes and relate to a live audience. Not many, however, play venues like Bethel Woods when they do.
