On Wednesday, May 16th at 1:00 and 7:30 pm, Nancy's Book Discussion Group will talk about “Under the Banner of Heaven” by Jon Krakauer. In 1984, Ron and Dan Lafferty murdered the wife and infant daughter of their younger brother Allen. The crimes were noteworthy not merely for their brutality but for the brothers' claim that they were acting on direct order from God. In Under the Banner of Heaven, Jon Krakauer tells the story of the killers and their crime but also explores the shadowy world of Mormon fundamentalism from which the two emerged.

This high-energy documentary explores the beauty and power of American Sign Language (ASL) poetry through the story of Aneta Brodski, a deaf teen who boldly journeys into the spoken word poetry slam scene. In a remarkable twist of fate, Aneta—an Israeli immigrant high school student living in New York—meets and then collaborates with Tahani, a hearing Palestinian slam poet.

This event is free and the public is cordially invited to attend.

The artists in Gendered Object: Ba...

"What's Eating You?" now playing at Yorktown's Winery at St. George on Route 6 in Mohegan Lake. What happens to two foodies when their kid gets a severe food allergy? One of the parents is annoyed by the inconvenience of not having the flavors of life in the family kitchen while the father uses this experience to become a food activist trying to solve why food allergies are not so prevalent when he grew up with people eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Baked into the comedy are all food issues including environmental, political, GMO's, spirituality, how food triggers food memories, how we nourish and poison relationships by not paying attention and respecting people's different tastes.

In December 2011, the film world lost a one-of-a-kind visionary maverick, British director Ken Russell. We celebrate his legacy with this special presentation of his psychedelic take on The Who's rock opera Tommy.

Russell transformed the band's classic album into a metaphysical, kaleidoscopic view of life in the '50s and '60s, with stunning set-pieces such as Elton John’s "Pinball Wizard" and Tina Turner’s explosive bordello-backdrop "Acid Queen." And of course Roger Daltrey shines in the starring role as Tommy, supported by a top notch cast that includes Oliver Reed, Jack Nicholson, Eric Clapton and an Oscar nominated performance by Ann-Margret.

Showing at The Picture House, 175 Wolfs Lane, Pelham, NY 10803
Show times: Sunday, May at 1:30pm; Tuesday, May 22 at 6:30pm
Tickets are $12, $9 in advance online.

"What's Eating You?" now playing at Yorktown's Winery at St. George on Route 6 in Mohegan Lake. What happens to two foodies when their kid gets a severe food allergy? One of the parents is annoyed by the inconvenience of not having the flavors of life in the family kitchen while the father uses this experience to become a food activist trying to solve why food allergies are not so prevalent when he grew up with people eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Baked into the comedy are all food issues including environmental, political, GMO's, spirituality, how food triggers food memories, how we nourish and poison relationships by not paying attention and respecting people's different tastes.

A story of betrayal, murder, exile, redemption and … Standardbreds! Join in May 21st as local author and lecturer Kenneth Lifshitz delves into the strange and colorful life of photographer Eadweard Muybridge. In 1872, California Governor Leland Stanford contacted Muybridge to set up a photographic study to prove the theory that all four legs of a horse were off the ground at some point during a fast trot.
Muybridge began work on this project at a racetrack
in Palo Alto, California, but his efforts were
interrupted by a murder trial and self-imposed exile in Central America. In 1878, however, Muybridge would finally get the answer to Governor Stanford's question. Muybridge’s resulting invention, the zoopraxiscope, is often cited as the first workable forerunner of motion pictures.
Ken’s lecture will cover many of the interesting aspects and experiments of Muybridge’s career.

In December 2011, the film world lost a one-of-a-kind visionary maverick, British director Ken Russell. We celebrate his legacy with this special presentation of his psychedelic take on The Who's rock opera Tommy.

Russell transformed the band's classic album into a metaphysical, kaleidoscopic view of life in the '50s and '60s, with stunning set-pieces such as Elton John’s "Pinball Wizard" and Tina Turner’s explosive bordello-backdrop "Acid Queen." And of course Roger Daltrey shines in the starring role as Tommy, supported by a top notch cast that includes Oliver Reed, Jack Nicholson, Eric Clapton and an Oscar nominated performance by Ann-Margret.

"What's Eating You?" now playing at Yorktown's Winery at St. George on Route 6 in Mohegan Lake. What happens to two foodies when their kid gets a severe food allergy? One of the parents is annoyed by the inconvenience of not having the flavors of life in the family kitchen while the father uses this experience to become a food activist trying to solve why food allergies are not so prevalent when he grew up with people eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Baked into the comedy are all food issues including environmental, political, GMO's, spirituality, how food triggers food memories, how we nourish and poison relationships by not paying attention and respecting people's different tastes.

Reiki, which translates from Japanese to mean “universal life force” is an ancient holistic practice that promotes stress reduction, relaxation, and well being. This universal life force is an energy found within all things. Reiki practitioners channel that life force, allowing the recipient to utilize the body’s natural ability to reduce stress and anxiety. Participants will learn about the history and uses of Reiki as well as basic meditation and breathing techniques, and how to use Reiki independently.
The workshop will be led by Michelle Carter, owner of Westchester Putnam Reiki and practitioner since 2006. She is a Reiki Master in both the Usui and Celtic Reiki traditions.
Open to people living with breast, ovarian or gynecological cancer.

The Shakespearean comedy Twelfth Night is coming to The Schoolhouse Theater's main stage May 24 through June 10, marking the first time a Shakespearean production has ever graced the Schoolhouse stage. To celebrate the occasion, the Schoolhouse is bringing Penny Cherns, head of the classical acting department at the esteemed London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), to Croton Falls to direct this beloved comedy. Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, who impulsively chooses to dress like her twin brother to fend for herself while in a foreign land. As she does this, she enters a situation as seemingly crazed as the moment when Alice stepped through the Looking Glass. Shakespeare's adventure plays with oppositions, with exaggeration and delicacy and in the end exhorts us to seize the day and not live in an imagined romance. Sure to be an audience favorite! Performances of Twelfth Night are scheduled Thursday-Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm. Tickets are $33 on Thursday and Fr...

2012 GRAMMY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER. Simply put, Ghost On the Canvas is the album of Glen Campbell's life. Take that as literally or figuratively as you like and it still is the case. With beauty, power, heartfelt emotion and deep spirituality, this set of songs – a song cycle, if you will – traces the arc of Campbell's 75 years: From dirt-poor, tinytown Arkansas origins to Hollywood triumphs on the pop charts, TV and movies. From barnstorming days of youthful touring to hobnobbing with Elvis, Sinatra and the Duke. From troubled freefalls of addiction and bad life choices to personal and spiritual redemption.

As she does this, she enters a situation as seemingly crazed as the moment when Alice stepped through the Looking Glass. Shakespeare's adventure plays with oppositions, with exaggeration and delicacy and in the end exhorts us to seize the day and not live in an imagined romance. Sure to be an audience favorite!

"What's Eating You?" now playing at Yorktown's Winery at St. George on Route 6 in Mohegan Lake. What happens to two foodies when their kid gets a severe food allergy? One of the parents is annoyed by the inconvenience of not having the flavors of life in the family kitchen while the father uses this experience to become a food activist trying to solve why food allergies are not so prevalent when he grew up with people eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Baked into the comedy are all food issues including environmental, political, GMO's, spirituality, how food triggers food memories, how we nourish and poison relationships by not paying attention and respecting people's different tastes.

2012 GRAMMY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER. Simply put, Ghost On the Canvas is the album of Glen Campbell's life. Take that as literally or figuratively as you like and it still is the case. With beauty, power, heartfelt emotion and deep spirituality, this set of songs – a song cycle, if you will – traces the arc of Campbell's 75 years: From dirt-poor, tinytown Arkansas origins to Hollywood triumphs on the pop charts, TV and movies. From barnstorming days of youthful touring to hobnobbing with Elvis, Sinatra and the Duke. From troubled freefalls of addiction and bad life choices to personal and spiritual redemption.

A Memorial Day weekend tradition led by Ringmaster Jonathan Kruk, the event evokes an early-American traveling circus and will take over Van Cortlandt Manor, a historic site owned by Historic Hudson Valley, May 26-28, 10-5pm each day. In America’s early days, fire jugglers, tumbling acrobats, rope walkers, magicians — indeed, clever characters of all sorts — used to travel the countryside as a ragged band of entertainers, setting up shop at various locales.
Animals & Acrobats features continuous performances. Acts include:
* Boston Circus Guild — This professional troupe offers a wide range of circus magic including high-flying acrobatics, stilt-dancing (not walking, dancing!), and gargantuan puppets who roam the crowd. Contortionists who squeeze themselves into the tightest of spaces round out the group’s roster.

* Circus Arts Camp — Kids can learn to walk on a low-wire, ride a unicycle, juggle, spin plates and walk on stilts!

* Museum of Curiosities — Visitors can be awed ...

Contact Info : Van Cortlandt Manor is at 525 South Riverside Avenue (off Route 9) in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. Take the Croton Point Avenue exit from Route 9 and follow the signs. For information: 914-631-8200, www.hudsonvalley.org.
