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…
Mac-Haydn Reopens with “A Chorus Line”
Chatham, NY Five! Six! Seven! Eight! For me, summer in Columbia County does not begin until I see a show at the Mac-Haydn Theatre. It is ALWAYS a good time – they never disappoint! The 2022 season starts with “A Chorus Line”, which was one of the first Broadway shows I saw back in the…

By Trixie’s List Staff Writer: Romeo Barkley Mondays and Tuesdays can be cultural deserts in Hudson – the galleries are closed, the restaurants dark.

Open Early / Closes Late – Where to Eat in Hudson Off-Hours
I know you. It was 5am, you just got out of the Roxy, or some other Michael Alig party, and in order to sober up a bit before trekking back to your Alphabet City five-story walk-up apartment, you want a cup of coffee. You walk down 14th Street in platform shoes, (ripped) purple fishnet stockings,…
A Bintel Brief
Funny, moving, and poignant, A Bintel Brief takes us back decades and reflects on immigrant Jewish life. The Jewish Daily Forward, (or, the Forverts, in Yiddish), based in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, started in 1897 and by the late 1920’s, had a daily circulation of over 250,000. The newspaper’s progressive ideology focused on social justice,…
Earth Day in Hudson, New York!
Hi Hudson – It’s going to be hard to beat last week’s Trixie’s List, but this is what happens when you interview local Instagram meme accounts: The things I’m willing to do for more Instagram followers! In more important news, (if there could be more important news than my Columbia County Meme Coalition interview), Columbia…
