The DENIZEN Theatre presents the WORLD PREMIER of “IF I NEEDED SOMEONE” beginning April 1st and running through May 3rd, 2020. Written by Tony award nominated playwright, Neil Labute, “IF I NEEDED SOMEONE” is sure to wow audiences with its bold themes and controversial subject matter. Two young people meet at a party and decide to go back to the woman’s apartment to keep the night going. Both afraid to call it ‘a date,’ they drink beer and sit on the bed as they tip-toe around what they believe to be the new rules of engagement in the #METOO era.
From the Tarrytown to Beacon, we’ve scoured the Hudson Valley for the craftiest & most delicious Bloody Marys. Tickets include Hudson Valley's best Bloody Marys made by local bars & restaurants, NYC bagel bar, food & drink tastes, one vote for The People's Choice Award, temp tattoos, photo ops and more.
This workshop is for anyone who wants to start a vegetable garden, incorporating basic skills for new gardeners. Topics covered will include: planning the garden (what goes where and when), preparing the soil, fencing the garden, planting and raising seedlings, companion planting, making and using compost, and weeding and mulching. Participants will walk away with the information and hands-on experience they need to get started this spring in their own garden.
Spring is in the air! Wake up those taste buds and get ready for Wines & Bites, the Hudson Valley's yummiest wine and food tasting event on Saturday and Sunday, April 18-19 hosted by the Shawangunk Wine Trail.
