First Annual Mrs. Roper Romp in Hudson, NY
Some people had to google “Mrs. Roper”. However, many of us remember the wacky sex-starved landlady of the 70’s sitcom Three’s Company. Actress Audra Lindley’s character, Mrs. Roper, is an icon.

MAKE FOOD NOT WAR

Which speaks to the quality of of theater being produced at Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre. I will, fairly regularly…
Revival House: at Upstate Films, classics and community are one and the same
One of my keenest regrets as a habitant of Upstate New York is the lack of easy access to Manhattan’s few, hallowed revival movie houses. Yours truly is a lover of classic films, and I yearn for theatrical venues where I can grab a popcorn or tea and settle into a state of cozy reverence…
