Come join us as our high-spirited and fearless Little Red as she ventures into the country to deliver her grandmother a very special and delicious cake.
But unbeknownst to Red, there is an extraordinarily hungry cake-eating wolf who will stop at nothing to get the homemade dessert — even if it means putting Red and her grandmother on the menu! With an original score and songs, dancers magically bring this timely tale to life. This 45-minute show will warm your heart and tickle your funny bone, recommended for children ages 2-8.

Old Stone House of Brooklyn

Join Rip Van Winkle and a spirited bunch of townies as they write their own version of the American Revolution!  Get ready for Impossible But True!  This rollicking evening of immersive theater and song is back--brought to you by Brooklyn Tavern Theater.

It's 1775 and word of the coming American Revolution arrives in a small village in the Catskills—but is it possible? Or just a crazy idea?

Loosely following the story of Rip Van Winkle, a troupe of 9 actors and a pianist take us on a journey through the American Revolution seen from the point of view of Rip's village. There will be war, ghostly explorers, gnomes, flip and much more. Join us!

Come early at 6:45-7:25pm (2:15-2:55 for Sunday matinee) to the Old Stone House for a free sample of FLIP--the most popular tavern drink in the colonies! Our flipmaster Dr. Kim will be set up at the Old Stone Oven to the right of the museum entrance.

Church of the Heavenly Rest

Don't miss this unique&nbsp; and wonderful operatic work first performed 100 years ago and recently rediscovered. In honor of the 800th anniversary of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, nature and peace, Canterbury Choral Society will perform the Oratorio this Sunday October 25th with professional soloists, chorus and full orchestra. One performance only! Popular Tenor Blake Friedman sings the part of St. Francis.
&nbsp;In 1916 The American Press described the work as "sublime, with passages of extraordinary beauty". Canterbury conductor Jonathan De Vries confirmed&nbsp;"This is a beautiful work in the Italian operatic tradition, very lyrical, with moving arias and choral interludes." First performed in October 1916 by the Metropolitan Opera at Carnegie Hall, the Oratorio was lost until 2006. Tickets are $35, booked in advance through Eventbrite.com or $40 cash at the door. For more information about this unique work and the story of how it was rediscovered go to www.canterburychoral.org.
