Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Echoes and Iterations, a group exhibition featuring works by Nicky Broekhuysen, Peter Monaghan, Norman Mooney and Robert Sagerman.  The exhibition dates are August 16 – September 27 and the public is invited to attend an artist reception on Friday, September 12, 5:30-7:30pm.

The works on view are process-driven paintings and sculpture, their visual outcomes defined by the way in which the artists are working with their materials.  While expressing themselves mostly through abstraction, the artists draw inspiration from the natural, scientific, mathematical and mystical worlds.  Together, their works create discernible and conceptual relationships, at times echoing each other in form, color and imagery, making for a captivating and engaging experience for the viewer.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 6:00 PM TO 10:00 PM: GALA (ADULTS ONLY)

An Evening of One Acts is an annual production at the Barn of original, unpublished works selected by the One Acts Committee from over 250 submitted plays. The 2025 production, which goes up in late February, will feature 9 plays presented without intermission. Each play has its own director and will rehearse in a stand-alone environment until tech week when the production is brought together. An Evening of One Acts was originally developed in 2010 and has evolved into one of our most popular events, both with audiences and with cast and crew.

The Ridgefield Theater Barn will present What the Constitution Means to Me starting January 31, 2025. The play, by Heidi Schreck, is directed by Nancy Limbacher Meyer and stars Ann Alford, Timothy Huber, and Zoe Guaman. Performances will take place Friday and Saturday evenings from January 31 through February 15, 2025 at 8pm, with Sunday matinees February 2 & 9, 2025 at 2pm.

What the Constitution Means to Me is a memoir play by actor-playwright Heidi Schreck, who, as a teenager, earned money for college by giving speeches and engaging in debates about the U.S. Constitution in American Legion halls across the country. Over the course of the play, Schreck addresses themes such as women’s rights, immigration, domestic abuse, and the history of the United States. Schreck varies the time period in which the play takes place, performing some scenes as her modern self and others as her fifteen-year-old self participating in Constitutional debate contests.

Experience the opening of ParaPosition, a remarkable sculpture by Alicja Kwade, made of slim interlocking steel frames supporting four boulders and a blue chair made of bronze, in celebration of Grace Farms’ 10 Year.

At 3 pm, Kwade will join Grace Farms’ Chief Strategic Officer and Founding Creative Director, Chelsea Thatcher, for a conversation about her inspiration and the sculpture’s dialogue with our site and mission.

About ParaPosition:

ParaPosition’s array of steel and stone draws viewers into the frame of this massive, yet fragile, universe. The substantial stones, with their immense weight, appear to defy gravity in an almost weightless balancing act. The chair beckons viewers to reflect on our relationship with the world and contemplate the fundamental nature of our existence.

“Alicja Kwade is approaching themes about society and human flourishing in the same spirit as we are at Grace Farms Foundation — imploring us to expand our perspective by asking questions. At Grace Farms, we seek new outcomes on pressing humanitarian issues by breaking down silos and facilitating dialogue across sectors.”

– Sharon Prince, Grace Farms CEO and Founder

The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents "Sweet Surrender," a solo exhibition featuring new abstract works by Katonah-based artist Tricia Caracappa, running from September 13 to October 11, 2025. The exhibition investigates the transformative power of creative trust, showcasing dynamic abstract landscapes that emerge when artistic control gives way to intuitive expression. "Sweet Surrender" chronicles Caracappa's artistic evolution as she abandons rigid creative constraints to embrace a more fluid, meditative practice, working barefoot in her studio with music as her guide and allowing intuition and energy to direct her process.

The works showcase Caracappa's unique blend of design sensibility and abstract expression. The exhibition features custom copper and wood lighting elements designed by the artist, complementing her paintings created with acrylics, inks, oil sticks, and charcoal that reveal glimpses of beautifully dyed canvas beneath textured layers. The exhibition presents a spectrum of emotional and visual experiences, from light and ethereal compositions to rich, moody landscapes, each reflecting Caracappa's philosophy of "following the energy of what lights you up." Through this creative surrender, the artist discovered not chaos, but a textured peacefulness filled with sustained delight, inviting viewers to consider their relationship with letting go and trusting the creative process.

View and purchase artwork from the exhibition here. From the Collections dropdown menu please select “Sweet Surrender.”

The community is invited to join us for an opening reception on Saturday, September 13, from 4 to 6pm. Please RSVP to the opening reception here. All are welcome.

Presented by film restorer Robert Harris and former NY Times film critic Janet Maslin. Beau Geste, directed by Herbert Brenon, was Paramount’s most important release of 1926, and was the Best Picture winner at the Photoplay Awards – a year previous to the arrival of The Academy. The film starred matinee idol Ronald Colman and some of the top actors of the day – Neil Hamilton, Ralph Forbes, Alice Joyce, Mary Brian, Norman Trevor, Noah Beery, Victor McLaglen, and a young William Powell. This restoration premiered in April at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood as part of the TCM Festival, and will screen this summer at The Museum of Modern Art. There will be a 10-minute intermission. The presentation is a fundraiser for Bedford Playhouse.

When the school’s first trans student mysteriously disappears, the Sandersons are thrust into a media frenzy—and forced to confront just how out of step they are with the world around them. Books will be available for sale and signing.

Rooted in the innovative improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City made its debut on a snowy night in December 1959, marking the beginning of a comedy revolution. What started as a small cabaret theater in Chicago has evolved into the most influential and prolific comedy empire in the world, establishing a unique approach to creating art that has nurtured generation after generation of comedic superstars.

The Second City was co-founded by Paul Sills, the son of Viola Spolin, alongside Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins. The theater quickly gained a reputation for its experimental and unconventional approach to both theater and comedy. Almost immediately, it became a launching pad for a host of notable comedians and actors, including Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, Fred Willard, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi. Their talents propelled The Second City into the international spotlight, showcasing the theater’s unique brand of humor and improvisation.

In 1976, The Second City expanded its influence with the launch of “SCTV,” a sketch comedy series that has since been recognized as one of the greatest of all time. This two-time Emmy-winning show featured an all-star cast, including Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, and Rick Moranis, further solidifying The Second City’s legacy in the world of comedy.

Today, The Second City operates as a world-class entertainment company with locations in Chicago, Toronto, and Hollywood, entertaining over one million audience members each year. The theater continues to produce top-tier talent, with alumni such as Steve Carell, Keegan-Michael Key, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Chris Farley, and Mike Myers leaving their mark across film, television, and beyond.

In addition to its performances, The Second City Touring Companies deliver electrifying revues and original productions throughout North America and internationally. The theater’s creative collaborations have led to thrilling and critically acclaimed work with prestigious organizations, including the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Norwegian Cruise Line, the New York Comedy Festival, and the Chicago Bulls.

The Second City Training Centers in Chicago, Toronto, Hollywood, and online provide comedy education to thousands of students each year. The opening of the Harold Ramis Film School in 2016 marked a significant milestone, as it became the first film school dedicated to comedy. Additionally, Second City Works is a leader in applying improvisational methodologies to businesses and organizations across various sectors.

As we continue to celebrate this legacy, we invite you to enjoy the show—after all, it has been nearly 60 years in the making.

Event Details

Clare Leslie Hall talks about her New York Times bestselling novel, Broken Country with fellow author Martha Hall Kelly. A love story with the pulse of a thriller, Broken Country, is a heart-pounding novel about impossible choices and devastating consequences.

You’re invited to a pre-event reception with Clare and Martha at 5:45pm in the Lightburn Gallery. 

About Clare Leslie Hall: After many years living and working in London as a journalist and writing Pictures of Him and Days You Were Mine, Clare, her husband and three children moved to an old farmhouse in Dorset. The house, the ancient fields surrounding it and the farmers who have a deep connection to the land inspired the setting for Broken Country. Her favorite novels - The Great Gatsby, The Secret History, Moon Tiger and The Go-Between - set a blueprint for the kind of books Clare loves to read and now write. Her three novels all combine passionate love stories with an element of mystery and suspense.

About Martha Hall Kelly: Martha is the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls, Lost Roses, Sunflower Sisters, Golden Doves, and The Martha’s Vineyard Beach and Book Club. Martha received journalism degrees from both Syracuse and Northwestern Universities and worked as an advertising copywriter for many years before becoming a novelist. With more than two million copies of her books sold and translated in fifty countries, Martha lives in Litchfield, Connecticut, and Hobe Sound, Florida. 

Elm Street Books will be selling books onsite. Clare will sign and personalize books after the discussion.

Chris Waddell, a decorated Paralympic sit-skier, wheelchair track athlete, and NBC Sports host, was a promising collegiate skier before a life-altering accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. Refusing to be defined by limitation, he went on to make history on September 30, 2009, becoming the first paraplegic to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro—nearly entirely unassisted. This inspiring documentary captures not just the physical feat of summiting the 19,340-foot peak, but the heart, determination, and perspective that fuel Waddell’s mission to “see the world positively” through his One Revolution Foundation. A powerful story of perseverance and possibility. A Q&A follows the film. Presented in partnership with Thrive.

Caffeine & Carburetors is a gathering of auto enthusiasts, collectors and burgeoning fans in New Canaan, CT.

The 5 mile race course is a trail run and passes through farm roads, forests, meadows, along steep hills, and over stone walls. There are some small seasonal streams and one wooden bridge. There are no large stream crossings. The two largest hills are at the one mile (long, not so steep) and the three mile (short and steep!) marks. Depending on the weather for prior days and weeks and the season of the year, some of the course may be wet and muddy but most of the course is well drained.

The race has filled up in the past about a week before the race date. We anticipate demand being high this year so sign up ASAP.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where hope takes center stage as we raise funds to make homeownership dreams come true.

The housing crisis is no longer a distant issue — it’s here, in our neighborhoods, impacting families every day. Too many are drowning in debt, struggling to afford basic housing, or living in homes that are no longer safe.

But thanks to the generosity of people like you, we’re changing that.

At Housatonic Habitat for Humanity, we do more than build homes — we help create pathways to stability, dignity, and a brighter future. Whether it's financial literacy that empowers first-time buyers, affordable homes that build equity, or critical repairs that allow older adults to age safely in place, your support turns homeownership dreams into reality.

Mark your calendar for Thursday, October 23, 2025, and join us at the elegant Silver Spring Country Club in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Doors open at 6:00 PM.

We’ll be joined by award-winning host and auctioneer Lucas Hunt, known for his dynamic energy and appearance as the auctioneer on CBS’s Bull.

This is our signature fall gala — and it’s more than a celebration. It’s a call to action. Building and repairing homes takes real resources, and we need your help to make it happen. Throughout the evening, you’ll have the chance to raise your paddle and fund the materials, skilled labor, and services that turn blueprints into real homes.

Come dressed in your denim best and enjoy a seated dinner, craft cocktails, and a lively lineup of live and silent auctions — all while standing in support of the families, seniors, and veterans we serve. Together, we can build a future rooted in strength, stability, and self-reliance.

As an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, we are 100% locally funded — every dollar raised stays right here in our community.

So bring your heart, your generosity, and your denim best!

Reserve your tickets, become a sponsor, or donate auction items today — and be a part of something truly life-changing.

For Live & Silent Auction Donations, please email Cindy@HousatonicHabitat.org.

Our genre for October is women's literary fiction, and we’re excited to share our book club pick: Hot Desk by Laura Dickerman! Even better—Laura herself will be joining us for the discussion, with her literary agent (and our dear friend) Elisabeth Weed leading the conversation.

Almost Famous is the exhilarating Broadway musical based on the beloved Cameron Crowe film. Set in 1973, it follows a teenage journalist who lands the assignment of a lifetime: touring with an up-and-coming rock band for Rolling Stone magazine. As he’s swept up in the chaos, romance, and rebellion of the music world, he discovers the true meaning of family, truth, and finding your voice. Bursting with heart, humor, and unforgettable music, Almost Famous is a must-see celebration of youth, passion, and the power of rock & roll. This will be the first production of the musical since its 2022 Broadway debut—and will be a thrilling reimagining of the production, featuring a revised book and score by the original Broadway team: Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award–winning composer Tom Kitt, and Academy Award–winning writer and filmmaker Cameron Crowe. In a unique collaboration, both Kitt and Crowe will be working directly with A.C.T. of CT Artistic Director, Daniel C. Levine who will direct the production. Bryan Perri, the original Broadway music supervisor of Almost Famous, will return to music supervise the Ridgefield production.  This new production will serve as an important step toward creating the final, licensable version of Almost Famous. As Penny Lane says, “…the spirits are still here… In the walls and in the rafters…the spirits are still here… the music tells you all you need to know. The spirits are the ones who make it so...” This is Almost Famous as you’ve never seen it before—intimate, poetic, and surging with the raw, electric energy of a backstage pass to rock history.

Rated PG-13: While this musical is appropriate for most teen and adult audiences, it does include occasional strong language and some mature themes related to sexuality. Parental discretion is advised.

Performances: Wednesday and Thursdays at 7pm, Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2 & 8pm, Sundays at 2pm.

Every Friday through Labor Day (excluding July 4) | 4 to 7 pm

Each play has its own director and will rehearse in a stand-alone environment until tech week when the production is brought together. An Evening of One Acts was originally developed in 2010 and has evolved into one of our most popular events, both with audiences and with cast and crew.

Guitar sensation Raphaël Feuillâtre is rapidly becoming the new voice of classical guitar. Since winning the prestigious Guitar Foundation of America competition in 2018, this Djibouti-born French virtuoso has dazzled audiences from Carnegie Hall to Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and through his prolific recording career on Deutsche Grammophon. His most recent album, Spanish Serenades, showcases the many Latin faces of the guitar, and forms the core of his Caramoor program combining popular rhythms, choreographic bounce and sophisticated counterpoint.

Author Christopher C. Gorham discusses his latest book and takes your questions.

In May 1940, as Parisians fled the advancing German Army, Henri Matisse was returning to the French capital. Sick, elderly and stunned by the success of the blitzkrieg, the world-famous artist was compelled to safeguard forty years of artwork. From Paris he returned to his adopted home, the ancient port of Nice on the Mediterranean, where he passed the terrible years of war and occupation. To leave France, he felt, would be a betrayal. 

Hitler, seeking cultural as well as territorial conquest, had decreed avant-gardism to be “an enemy of the state.” The failed watercolorist-turned-dictator exalted traditionalism over contemporary art, taught Germans to jeer at surrealist, expressionist, and Dadaist works, and to equate artists like Matisse and Picasso with cultural disintegration. Considered “degenerate art,” many Matisse artworks would be removed from galleries and museums and hidden in storage rooms—or worse, stolen by the Nazis.  

Matisse at War is a vivid portrayal of the advancement of fascism and war into French life and culture during World War II through the lens of one of the country’s most celebrated post-impressionists and his family.
