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

Highlights include Martina Deignan’s No Warning, a harrowing story of immigration injustice; Dean Temple’s The Fifth Horseperson, where teenage distraction becomes world-ending; Paul Allman’s satirical Collecto-mania Caravan; and David Simpatico’s darkly comic Gretal and Hansel.

The Mountain Top Historical Society of Greene County invites you to hike the Catskill Mountains with us! KAATERSKILL JUNCTION HIKE with Paul LaPierre, Saturday, October 4th at 9:00 AM.

You will be stepping back in time to the days when the Kaaterskill and Stony Clove Railroad came up to the Junction from Phoenicia and then split to the west on the Hunter Branch and headed east on the Tannersville Branch toward the Hotel Kaaterskill. A track plan of the junction and photographs showing the several sidings that served the sorting of freight and passenger cars to the two branches will be provided, supported by rail ties that still remain 84 years after the abandonment of the line in 1940. The hike will visit the remains of the Light Dam Bridge over the Schoharie Creek. A side excursion to the new Hunter Branch Rail Trail pedestrian bridge over a tributary of the Schoharie Creek will be added after returning to our start at the Junction site.

Meeting time: 9:00AM 4 October 2025

Difficulty: This is a moderate hike on an old, mostly level railroad bed, about 4 miles long with leader Paul LaPierre exploring the area around Kaaterskill Junction on State Route214. There is one small shallow stream crossing with stepping stones—hiking poles or staff are advised.

Directions: Address: 4282 Rte 214 About a mile south from the 23A end of Rte 214 on the left there is a sign planted in the grass marking the Junction —drive in and park on the U-shaped driveway.
