The Paul Taylor Dance Company returns to the David H. Koch Theater November 4–23, 2025, with World Premieres by Resident Choreographers Lauren Lovette and Robert Battle, and the New York Premiere of Hope Boykin’s How Love Sounds. The soundscape is as bold as the dancing — from jazz icons Ella Fitzgerald, Wycliffe Gordon, and Mahalia Jackson, to the orchestral sweep of Antonín Dvořák and John Adams, to pop classics by Patsy Cline, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Donna Summer. Alongside Taylor favorites Esplanade and Company B, the repertory features treasures including Speaking in Tongues, the Whitman-inspired Beloved Renegade, Offenbach Overtures, Scudorama, Troilus and Cressida (reduced), and Concertiana, Taylor’s final dance. Select performances feature live music performed by the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. Tickets start at $10 at boxoffice.dance.

Bridge Street Theatre closes its bold 2025 Mainstage Season with one of the most beloved plays in modern American theatre: Ernest Thompson’s On Golden Pond, running November 13–23 on BST’s intimate “Priscilla” Mainstage at 44 West Bridge Street, Catskill. Directed by BST Co-Founder John Sowle, this production brings warmth, humor, and quiet reflection to Thompson’s contemporary classic about aging, memory, and forgiveness.

For decades, Norman and Ethel Thayer have spent their summers at a rustic lakeside cabin in Maine. But as Norman’s memory falters and their estranged daughter arrives with her fiancé and his teenage son, long-buried tensions resurface. What follows is a funny, tender, and deeply human story about love withheld, love rediscovered, and the courage it takes to forgive.

Suffused with humor and deep emotional resonance, On Golden Pond closes BST’s 2025 season on a note of grace. Performances run Thurs–Sat at 7:30 pm, Sun at 2:00 pm, with an additional 2:00 pm matinee on Saturday, Nov 22. Tickets are $30, $16 for students. Visit bridgest.org/on-golden-pond for details.

Featuring new works by Smith Faculty members Angie Hauser and Neri Torres, and Guest Artists Ellie Goudie-Averill and Chloe London. Ticket at smitharts.ludus.com.

GivingTuesday was created as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. It is an opportunity for people around the world to come together to thank, help, give, show kindness, and share what they have with those in need.
In that spirit of generosity, Lenox Library will collect donations of non-perishable food items, paper products, and personal health care items between November 1 and December 2. All donations will benefit the Lenox Food Pantry.
Plus, your donation will go even further! For every item donated, our friends at BIRCH Properties will contribute $1 to the Lenox Library Association, supporting library programs and collections.
That’s right — your donation can do double the good this GivingTuesday, December 2!
We hope you’ll join us in nourishing our community’s bellies and brains. Every act of generosity, no matter how small, makes a difference.

Ever wondered about the trees alongside the trail? Looking to expand your tree identification skills? This trek is for you!

Tom O’Dowd will teach participants to identify trees during winter by their twigs, buds, bark, and even smell.

What to expect: We will walk up to two miles along Hickory Lane, the Dogwood Trail, and the Meadow Connector. These trails are forested, packed earth with some exposed roots. We will be stopping often to discuss the trees we see. Bench seating is available along the trail. Learn more about the trail here.

What to bring: Please bring water and wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear. Bringing a way to take notes (e.g., a smartphone, camera, or notebook) is recommended for this program! Social, leashed dogs are welcome, but please bring a bag for waste.

Join us every Saturday 9:30AM to 1:30PM from now through April 25th in the Wilton Mall food court!

Shop from 50+ local vendors while you listen to live music.
