Garrison landmark has hosted hundreds of shows A rare bird has reached a milestone. The Philipstown Depot Theater, co-sponsored by the town and operated by a nonprofit, is celebrating 30 years in the second grand old depot at Garrison's Landing. The first depot, moved across the street in the 1890s, is now a part of Antipodean Books. Over three decades, The Depot Theater has staged 90 plays and musicals, more than 180 youth productions, the long-running Depot Docs series, musical performances, storytelling and modern dance. Its latest production, The Heart Sellers, opens tonight (May 1); Amy Dul, the Depot's executive director since 1998, says that over the past two years it has been the most-produced play by theater groups in the U.S. Two weeks from now, on May 17, the theater will host its annual gala and highlight the past and future: It plans to soon build a 6,000-square-foot storage, rehearsal and education center near the town Recreation Center on Route 9D. The theater will pay for and construct the structure, then dedicate it to the town, which will provide a 99-year lease. Built like a tank, the former depot at Garrison's Landing has 16-inch-thick granite walls and exquisite woodwork. It's one of the most ornate stations along the Hudson Line because four railroad tycoons who lived in Philipstown during the Gilded Age wanted to wait for their elaborate private cars in style. After closing in 1956, the depot fell into disrepair until the newly created Garrison's Landing Association purchased it from New York Central in the early 1960s for $3,000 (about $33,000 today). In 1966, a group of residents, including Russel Wright, the designer who lived and worked at Manitoga, envisioned a railroad museum and poured another $2,000 ($20,000) into sprucing up the space. The following year, the Hand to Mouth Players began presenting productions at the depot, a run that continued for 29 years. Remember These? The Fantasticks (2006) A Little Night Music (2007) Arsenic and Old Lace (2008) The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2008) The Miracle Worker (2009) The Secret Garden (2009) Threepenny Opera (2010) The Seagull (2011) The Beggar's Opera (2012) The Way of the World (2012) Beyond the Fringe (2013) To Kill a Mockingbird (2013) The Birds (2014) A Christmas Carol (2014) 1776 (2014) On Golden Pond (2015) Jesus Christ Superstar (2015) HMS Pinafore (2016) 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2016) Company (2017) Guys and Dolls (2017) Steel Magnolias (2017) Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (2018) The Music Man (2018) Doubt: A Parable (2018) The Importance of Being Earnest (2019) Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (2019) Nunsense (2019) Oliver! (2021) The Cake (2022) God of Carnage (2023) In 1996, Jean Marzollo and Carolyn Copeland wanted to expand their summer teen musical program from an annex at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Garrison, recalls Claudio Marzollo, who would serve as president of the newly formed Philipstown Depot Theater for 14 years. The Garrison's Landing Association ended its lease with the Hand to Mouth Players, which it said was behind on its rent, and the new troupe asked the town for funding. Philipstown came through, but "didn't know anything about running a theater, so we formed what became the nucleus of our board of directors," says Marzollo. Today, the town covers the modest rent paid by the theater to the Landing Association and assists with other expenses. Taxpayers provide about 9 percent of the budget, says Dul; the rest comes from grants, donations and ticket sales.

The group does a lot with its 18-by-19-foot stage. Alice Jankell came aboard as artistic director in 2024, succeeding Nancy Swann,...

Actor and director Chad Lowe sits down with Steve for one of the most deeply honest, funny, and unexpectedly emotional conversations we've had on Still Here Hollywood. From growing up in the shadow of a wildly famous big brother to discovering his own path through acting, sobriety, fatherhood, and directing, Chad tells the story of a life shaped by love, rivalry, reinvention — and a few surreal Hollywood moments. He opens up about the early days when teenage girls hung posters of Rob but not him… auditioning for roles that went on to define a generation (On Golden Pond, Running on Empty, Goonies, Say Anything)… and the moment River Phoenix's performance inspired him to become a better actor. Chad shares how Martin Sheen changed the course of his life on one unforgettable car ride, how he overcame paralyzing audition anxiety, and why Life Goes On became the most meaningful work of his career. For the first time, Chad also walks us through the real story behind Hilary Swank's Oscar speech, how he actually felt in the car afterward, why he cried at the ceremony, and how the two of them found peace and perspective years later. We cover the state of Hollywood post-strikes, directing 911: Lone Star alongside Rob, taking his daughters to Taylor Swift (and surviving the ticket wars), his years of sobriety, what scares him most as a “girl dad,” and how a tuna melt changed his life at Elizabeth Taylor's house. It's heartfelt, self-deprecating, and full of moments that remind you why Chad Lowe has quietly built one of the most beloved, complicated, fascinating careers in the business. A must-watch episode for anyone who knows the highs and lows of following your own path — even when the world thinks it already knows who you are.

It's that time of year again—the pumpkins are lit, the coffins creak open, and the Filmjitsu Halloween Series rises from the grave! In this first of three frights for the season, Mike hands Jay a slice of ‘90s pay-cable horror cheese: Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood! Starring Dennis Miller as a snarky private eye investigating a brothel full of bloodsuckers, this late-night relic from 1996 proves that not every tale from the Crypt was worth telling. Will Jay find pleasure in this neon-soaked vampire romp, or will Miller's painful wisecracks and the film's nonsensical plot make him cancel his HBO subscription? After the main review, the guys drain a few pints of creativity for their Bottom Five '...of Blood's, a gloriously stupid challenge where they take perfectly respectable non-horror movies, slap “of Blood” onto the title, and pitch their own horrific re-imaginings. From Drop Dead Fred of Blood to On Golden Pond of Blood, it's a cornucopia of cinematic crimes against good taste! And because it wouldn't be Halloween without a little extra mischief, the episode wraps with a terrifying round of Dueling Double Bills, where random horror picks force the hosts to conjure the ultimate double features from Hell. So sharpen your stakes, fill your goblet, and lock your crypt, because Filmjitsu is back in black (and red) for Halloween—and this time, blood is on tap!

Today I am interviewing a campground owner in a very scenic part of New Hampshire who is looking for some Workampers to take care of a variety of duties this summer. Dan Grossman has owned Ames Brook Campground near Ashland, N.H., for six years. The campground itself has been in operation since the 1960s. It is located a few miles from Squam Lake, which was the setting for the movie “On Golden Pond.” The private mom-and-pop campground features about 100 campsites and four cabins situated on 30 acres of property. A family-oriented facility, it attracts a good mix of seasonal campers and overnight visitors. Dan is looking for two couples and would consider a family where teenagers could also work at the campground. Workampers typically put in 20 to 30 hours per week with all hours paid starting at $15 per hour and going to $20 per hour based on experience. The season runs from Mother's Day weekend until Oct. 15, but Workampers typically arrive early to open the campground and stick around for a week or two in the fall to help winterize the facility. Workampers typically work the front desk, managing customer interactions, taking reservations and serving as the point person for the entire guest experience. Another person usually works outdoors maintaining the landscaping, keeping the restrooms clean and tidying up the cabins between guest stays. In addition to the $15 to $20 hourly rate, Workampers also receive an RV site that includes free Wi-Fi and discounts on store items. The two Workamping couples can work with Dan to determine the schedule to ensure they all have plenty of time off to explore the area. There are a lot of outdoor recreation activities to do in the region. Boston and Portland are both about 90 minutes away. Dan is especially looking for people who have a background in home improvement or the contracting trades, but that is not a must. To apply, people simply submit a complete resume with a summary of qualifications. Then, they'll have a casual conversation with Dan. To really stand out, Workampers should check out the campground's website and describe ways they feel they can fit in and make a difference. For more information, Workampers can visit www.amesbrook.com where they can take a virtual tour of the campground and the local area. Today's episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

On Golden Pond kicks off the 100th season of Riverside Community Players. Each and every show of this upcoming season is indeed a heavy hitter. David Fleming speaks with board member Philip Gabriel, Mel Chadwick - also on the board and playing Norman as well, along with Ron Milts - directing the show. We'll hear about the show, a bit about the 100th season and more.
We talked about so many things from his role on Decendants and his story.Peder Lindell's meteoric rise in the entertainment industry began at just eleven years old, with his compelling portrayal of Billy Ray in the Jungle Theater's production of "On Golden Pond" in Minneapolis. His early success paved the way for a standout performance in "Gypsy" at the Pantages Theater, earning him accolades across the Broadway World as "a fine young actor." His boundless talent, passion, and relentless drive make him a true force to be reckoned with. In the past year alone, Lindell's career has reached unprecedented heights. Alongside his exciting role in "The Descendants," he broke new ground as Gus in Montana's first queer skateboarding film, "Scraps," produced by Colton Underwood. He also delivered a gripping performance as Jason in the revival of "Bare: A Pop Opera" in Los Angeles, showcasing his versatility and depth as an actor.Beyond his theatrical and cinematic achievements, Peder is an accomplished instrument-rated commercial pilot, having taken to the skies at just sixteen. He owns a Grumman Tiger prop plane, affectionately named his "sky convertible," reflecting his adventurous spirit and love for flight. This daring nature extends to his athletic pursuits as well. A Division III ice hockey player at Loyola Marymount University, Peder excels in an array of sports, including soccer, wrestling, diving, baseball, skateboarding, rock climbing, and various snow and water sports. He is certified in emergency first response and advanced rescue scuba diving. He is actively training for his skydiving certification, aspiring to perform his own stunts like his idol, Jackie Chan.
"On Golden Pond," "Wait Until Dark," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Midsummer Night's Dream," "Man of La Mancha..." For those in theatre this reads as a "must do someday" kind of list. For many others this is a list of shows you've heard of, even if you're not into theatre whatsoever. What this list is - in order - The lineup for Riverside Community Players' 100th season! They polled the audiences to find out what THEY'D like to see. These were all pulled from the near 100-year history of the theatre - which started in 1925, originally the Drama Department of the Riverside Women's Club before separating to become Riverside Community Players. So out of 99-plus years... yes, we were bound to have some heavy hitters asked for. And this is what we'll be getting! On this edition of KVC-Arts, David Fleming speaks with board members Phillip Gabriel and Michael Shane Eastman, as well as Mia Mercado, director of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," running now, and wrapping up the 99th season. We'll hear about the upcoming 100th season - going beyond the titles mentioned above, as well as talk about theatre in the round - the type of presentation you get at Riverside Community Players.
Peder Lindell talks "Descendants: The Rise of Red", becoming a pilot, and that time his height made him lose a role! About Peder: American actor and overall thrill seeker Peder Lindell has had a stunning rise in the entertainment industry that has continued to collect momentum. This actor/aviator/daredevil launched into the professional world of entertainment at just eleven years old, starring as Billy Ray in the Jungle Theater's production of "On Golden Pond" in Minneapolis. This impressive debut led to his Broadway Reimagined performance in "Gypsy" at the Pantages Theater, earning him accolades from across the Broadway World as "a fine young actor.” Within the last year, Peder's career has reached new heights. Lindell has joined Disney's widely beloved franchise, "The Descendants," as Morgie, the son of Morgana Le Fay, in the highly anticipated film "The Descendants: The Rise of Red." He traveled to Montana to take on the groundbreaking role of Gus in the state's first queer skateboarding film, "Scraps," produced by Colton Underwood. Back in Los Angeles, he gripped audiences in the role of Jason in his university's stage revival of "Bare: A Pop Opera.” Peder's talents extend far beyond the stage and screen. He took to the skies at just sixteen and is now an instrument-rated commercial pilot. He owns a Grumman Tiger prop plane, his beloved "sky convertible," which embodies his thrill-seeking nature. His interests are both diverse and daring. His adventurous spirit is reflected in his athletic prowess: a Division III ice hockey player at Loyola Marymount University, he has excelled in soccer, wrestling, diving, baseball, skateboarding, rock climbing, and snow and water sports. Lindell is certified in emergency first response and as an advanced rescue scuba diver, his daredevil streak also extends to the arts of parkour, combat, and stunt training. He's actively training for his skydiving certification, aspiring to perform his own stunts like his idol, Jackie Chan. Growing up in the artistic town of Northfield, Minnesota, Peder's journey into performing arts began with choir singing under the mentorship of renowned choral director Anton Armstrong. His talent soon led to roles in operas such as "La Bohéme," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and "Hansel und Gretel," with performances in iconic venues including Canterbury, Southwark, and Nidaros Cathedrals, as well as Carnegie Hall. A decade later, his return to Carnegie Hall underscored Peder's enduring passion and talent. Lindell's standout performance in "The Abominables" at the Children's Theater Company received critical acclaim from The New York Times, solidifying his reputation as a standout industry talent. Peder's film work includes "Out Of My Hands" and "Down The Drain," which premiered at the Catalina Film Festival 2021. His 2022 supporting actor nomination for "Dead Cell" and his role in the medieval fantasy series "Hidden Falls" showcased both his range and depth as a storyteller. Praised for his "impressive naturalism" by the St. Paul Pioneer Press and described as having "the chops and charisma to keep us on his side" by the Star Tribune, Peder Lindell is now based in Los Angeles, completing his bachelor's degree at Loyola Marymount University. With his boundless talents and relentless drive, Peder is not just aiming for the stars—he's already among them. Follow the show on social media!

EPISODE CORRECTION: George Lucas attempted to make "Flash Gordon" not "Buck Rogers". It's much more normal if you didn't even notice. All May long we're discussing STAR WARS movies in chronological order and dictating absolute canon from here forth. Your thoughts? Meaningless. Our thoughts? They are now your new thoughts. One last ride with Star Wars before we emotionally retire it and watch only movies like “On Golden Pond” and “Bridges of Madison County”. You will believe you can love again. OK, so our month's theme of FORCED is riding on the bandwagon of that “May the 4th Be With You” stuff but don't say that phrase to us in person unless you want to elicit a “Manchurian Candidate” type response where we attack you. This episode is one of the few we are actually looking forward to as it is the one that started it all, “STAR WARS” by George Lucas from 1977 and starring Mark Hamill, Alec Guinness, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing. You pretty much already know a lot about it I'm sure. It's a strange trip to behold when carrying around prequel knowledge but you gotta revel in the fairly simple space adventure romp after watching five convoluted movies that are all reference films to the one we're finally discussing today. They didn't let George Lucas make Buck Rogers so he took some Kurosawa inspiration and whipped up a big allegory to the Vietnam War. People split so many hairs over this franchise but the core concept of it was all as simple as that. I would like to think I would do a little more if somebody was going to destroy my planet right in front of me. I would have throat chopped Tarkin and then turn around and knock out Darth Vader in one punch for real.

A controversial video capturing President Joe Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's cautious stroll across an airport tarmac in San Francisco sparked a flurry of criticism on social media, with many users poking fun at their advanced ages. The clip, showing Biden, 81, and Pelosi, 83, gingerly supporting each other during the walk, quickly became the subject of mockery online, with users questioning their physical capabilities. The sight of the two prominent Democrats shuffling along prompted various quips, with some likening it to a scene from the movie "On Golden Pond" and others joking about a "nursing home reunion." The video emerged as Biden embarked on a fundraising tour in California, where he was met by Pelosi and Mayor London Breed upon his arrival at SFO. Despite attempts to portray the encounter as a display of camaraderie, many seized upon the footage to highlight concerns about the fitness of both Biden and Pelosi for their respective roles. Pelosi's recent remarks defending Biden's age and mental acuity, despite widespread public skepticism, only served to intensify scrutiny over their leadership capabilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even at 80 years old he is still struggling to find out who he is, and it's through the kindness of those around him that he is able to persevere in this identity crisis.

You old poop! You gotta give it to the late-great Katherine Hepburn. The then-74-year-old icon lifted lumber, rowed boats, and even dove into rocky waters for 1981's On Golden Pond. Hepburn and Henry Fonda would go on to win Oscars for their roles. But now, in a time when age is just a number and our world leaders are older than the fictional Thayers, does this drama need a nitroglycerin pill? And why is Jane Fonda's character such a brat?
