Bridge Street Theatre presents the U.S. Premiere of Red Like Fruit by award-winning playwright Hannah Moscovitch, October 2–12, 2025, on its “Priscilla” Mainstage in Catskill. Moscovitch, hailed as “the dark angel of Canadian theatre,” has earned international acclaim for her fearless works including East of Berlin and Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes. In Red Like Fruit, journalist Lauren (Elizabeth Narciso) investigates a domestic violence case but soon finds herself reckoning with her own long-suppressed past. Her narrative is voiced by an actor (Johnny Travers), forcing audiences to question whose stories are told and whose are silenced. Winner of a “Fringe First” Award at the Edinburgh Festival, the play is directed by Margo Whitcomb, who previously helmed BST’s Berkie Award-winning East of Berlin. Bold, intimate, and uncompromising, Red Like Fruit offers Hudson Valley audiences a chance to encounter one of today’s most daring playwrights up close. Tickets: bridgest.org/red-like-fruit.

Mark St. Germain’s play is filled with the humor, honesty, and life-affirming spirit of Karola Ruth Siegel, the girl who became “Dr. Ruth,” America’s most famous sex therapist.
Everyone knows Dr. Ruth Westheimer from her career as a pioneering radio and television sex therapist. Few, however, know the incredible journey that preceded it. From fleeing the Nazis in the Kindertransport and joining the Haganah in Jerusalem as a sniper, to her struggle to succeed as a single mother newly-arrived in America, her’s is a stunning tale of becoming Dr. Ruth.

“An illuminating portrait…her story is certainly a stirring one.” - NY Times

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.
