SUMMARY:Closing Reception for "Going Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock"
DESCRIPTION:Sean Cavanaugh\, Water\, Mist and Mountain\, 2018\, watercolor on paper \n  \ncurated by Bruce Weber\nExhibition on view July 11 – October 25\, 2026\nClosing reception\nSaturday October 17\, 2026\, 3-5 PM \nFor 125 years\, Byrdcliffe has cultivated a community of artists at the base of Mount Guardian in the hamlet of Woodstock\, NY.  Founded on principles of camaraderie\, fidelity to quality\, a reverence for nature and deep respect for fellow creators\, Byrdcliffe has welcomed an impressive roster of artists and thinkers to this important art colony. \nWhile many of these creative denizens went on to reknown — Laszlo Moholy-Nagy\, Bob Dylan\, Eva Hesse\, Philip Guston\, Thorstein Veblen and many more — few so embodied the spirit of Byrdcliffe than the Avery Family. \nSpanning four generations\, the exhibition brings together works by Milton Avery and Sally Michel Avery\, their daughter March Avery\, her husband Philip G. Cavanaugh\, their son Sean Cavanaugh\, and his child Delilah Cavanaugh. For the first time\, the public will have the opportunity to experience an intimate look at the art created in Woodstock by the Avery family — a body of work deeply rooted in American modernism.

SUMMARY:The Last Supper: A Grand Guignol Love Story
DESCRIPTION:A death dinner. A zombie apocalypse. Love\, democracy\, and everyone fighting for a seat at the last supper. \nPURCHASE TICKETS \nTHE LAST SUPPER\nA Grand Guignol Love Story by David Simpatico \nWhat if your last supper really were your last supper?\nAs civilization collapses around them\, seven wildly different survivors gather under one roof for an impossible dinner. At the center of the evening is Edgar\, an elderly man who has decided to die on his own terms. A death doula has been brought in to help him make that final passage. But Edgar’s carefully planned death dinner is interrupted by a rather larger problem: the dead are rising. \nPolitical zealots\, believers\, skeptics\, lovers\, old gods\, new machines and zombies all demand a place at the table. Some want to eat. Some want to preach. Some want to decide who has the right to live—or die. And some just want to survive until morning. The Last Supper is a darkly comic Grand Guignol love story about the collision between individual choice and collective survival. Beneath the blood\, absurdity and zombie mayhem is a surprisingly intimate question: When everything falls apart\, what do we owe one another? \nRound The Bend Theater presents this special staged reading at Byrdcliffe Theater as part of its larger commitment to developing and co-producing bold new plays and supporting playwrights. And because the apocalypse has impeccable timing\, we’re making a Halloween party of it. Come dressed as a zombie and join the parade and contest! \n  \n$25 tickets\nPURCHASE TICKETS \n  \nABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT \nDavid Simpatico’s career highlights include: the book/stage adaptation of Disney’s High School\nMusical; The Screams of Kitty Genovese (Jonathan Larson Award; music by Will\nTodd); Garden of Light\, libretto for choral symphony\, withcomposer Aaron Jay Kernis.

Chen\, received its world premiere at\nChicago Opera Theater in March\, 2023\, also directed by Peter Rothstein. He is currently\nadapting Wally Lamb’s She’s Come Undone\, with co-bookwriter Darrah Cloud\, and\ncomposer/lyricist\, Michael Holland.
