The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.

“Once a Tree: Continuity, Creativity, and Connection” explores the deep-rooted significance of trees in Haudenosaunee culture, tradition, and creative expression. Featuring the work of 42 artists and more than 100 objects—including decorative and utilitarian baskets, cradleboards, snowshoes, ladles, lacrosse sticks, toys, instruments, carvings, and sleds—this exhibition highlights the important relationship between nature and artistry. Selected from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition was created with guidance from curatorial consultants Terry Chrisjohn III (Oneida), Preston Jacobs (Mohawk), and Sheila Ransom (Mohawk).

"Separated but Unbroken: The Haudenosaunee Boarding School Experience" explores the lasting impact of the Thomas Indian School, once located on the Cattaraugus Reservation south of Buffalo, NY, and The Mohawk Institute near Branford, Ontario. These institutions, which enrolled a significant number of Haudenosaunee students, were part of a larger system that sought to erase Indigenous identities while deeply shaping the lives of those who endured them. Co-curated by Erin Keaton (Mohawk), the exhibition sheds light on Haudenosaunee resilience.

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.

Lyric Theatre Company is bringing one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history to The Flynn MainStage this November.

Lyric Theatre Company’s production of A Chorus Line will be presented at The Flynn MainStage November 13 through 16, 2025, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. and evening performances Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m.. Friday’s performance will feature an ASL translator for the hearing impaired.

A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and authentic drama, A Chorus Line was instantly recognized as a classic, with one powerhouse number after another. Dive into the raw, emotional, and electric world of performers chasing their dreams as they navigate the vulnerability of putting yourself out there, the fear of rejection, and the need for validation, both on and off the stage, and of course, iconic dance numbers.

For tickets, call 802 86FLYNN, purchase online at flynnvt.org/Events/2025/11/lyric-a-chorus-line or visit the Flynn Box Office in downtown Burlington.

Lyric Theatre Company’s A Chorus Line is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Whitmark LLC.

Material Shift showcases work by 13 Haudenosaunee artists who employ found objects and other unconventional materials to create or illustrate traditional cultural objects or concepts and those who, conversely, explore traditional materials in unexpected ways. Works range from playful to provocative. These events are made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum & Library Services, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and friends and members of the Iroquois Museum.
