Hi Hudson, Check out the ChaShaMa Festival, a festival which helps support new and mid-career artists. Don’t know what the ChaShaMa Festival is? Neither did I. But, then I talked to multi-disciplinary artist Nana YaaSerwaah Akuoku, and now, I understand. Read the interview with Nana YaaSerwaah Akuoko here Learn about the ChaShaMa Festival Saturday, Oct….

Pumpkin Spice Season is Here!
Hi Hudson, I often ask myself, ‘Why do I write this blog?‘ ‘Why do I spend so much time telling people about local events and places?’ I mean, yes, the tax deductions. So much is now a write-off, but beyond that…why? To educate? To connect people? To help people feel as if they are part…

HUZZAH! Xanadu Opens at the Mac-Haydn Theatre!
In case you didn’t know, I’m gay. Not just a little bit gay, but drag-queen-planning-pride-parades gay. Yet, I do not hold a rainbow-colored, unicorn-scented candle to the latest production at the Mac-Haydn – Xanadu. By the show’s own admission, it is “children’s theater for 40-year-old gay people.” Did you see the 1980 movie, Xanadu starring…

End of July in Hudson, NY
Hi Hudson, True story: Last week, I posted pics from the Jamie Cheney event to the blog, and while I was at the Farmers’ Market, selling my wares, I good friend told me that the post was down. Odd. I knew it was working. I was able to log in via my phone from the…
It’s TOO DARN HOT!
This is the perfect time of year to watch the musical number, “It’s Too Darn Hot” from Cole Porter’s Kiss Me, Kate, now at the Mac-Haydn Theatre in Chatham. The young, scantily-clad performers are an absolute pleasure! Such a racy number! You may not see this much excitement in Chatham until the County Fair comes…
Mid-July in Hudson, New York
Hi Hudson, I started writing this blog during the pandemic because I was bored…and no one else was doing it. There are so many events listed now that it takes days to maintain every week. I try to go to as many events as possible and report back. I stopped into the Half Moon on…
Summer 2022 in Hudson, NY
Hello Hudson, First of all, please read Trixie’s List review of the Mac-Haydn Theatre’s newest show, Urinetown. It’s a dystopian and depressing future, but the singing and dancing is great! I saw this show on Broadway years ago, and didn’t get it. It’s a much better show in a smaller theater. I did not understand…
