GODZILLA IS BACK!

MOTHRA IS TOO!

AND INTRODUCING “BATTRA” IN HIS ONLY KAIJU FILM!

IT’S A GODZILLA MONSTER DOUBLE CREATURE FEATURE!

Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) (Japanese Version. English subtitles.) Mothra teams up with her adversary “Battra” in an ultimate 3-way battle with Godzilla!

Godzilla 2000 (1999) (USA version. English dubbed.) Godzilla battles a UFO, the mutated monster “Orga” and the Japanese military in this monster kick off to the Godzilla “Millennium” Series!

About the Godzilla 2000 USA version: Even Japan’s TOHO Studios believes that the USA version of Godzilla 2000 is superior to the Japanese version going so far as distributing the USA version themselves! While we have always shown the Japanese versions of Godzilla films in our Godzilla series, in this case we will be showing the USA English version.

Come by for all the monster action with BIG THEATRE SOUND on the BIG THEATRE SCREEN!

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.

AfterTalk is a collaborative new work of poetic theater featuring Adrienne Major and David Zucker, with a host of creative artistic contributors: cellist Eugene Friesen, artist Eric Aho (projected paintings), choreographer Alison Mott, lighting and sound designer Francesca Bourgault, production manager Jenny Holan, and director Eric Bass.

Written by award-winning poet and former Vermont Poet Laureate Chard deNiord (2015–2019), the play unfolds as a lyrical dialogue between the ancient Sumerian couple Inanna, Goddess of Fertility, and Dumuzi, God of Agriculture and date palms. Meeting one last time in the mysterious threshold between worlds, they revisit the dimensions of their love and the infinite question of whether their bond will soon sever for eternity.

Although nearly 7,000 years old, the antiphonal poem that inspired AfterTalk—a precursor to King Solomon’s Song of Songs—was not unearthed until 1947 in the ruins of the ancient Sumerian city of Nippur. DeNiord reimagines this timeless text in a contemporary theatrical setting, weaving music, movement, poetry, and visual art into a compelling exploration of love, power, and memory.

Join us to witness what happens when poetry, music, movement, and art converge on stage.

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.
