Join us for our second show of our 20th Season with our production of "The Cottage” by Sandy Rustin, running from June 26 – July 12.
"The Cottage" is a comic romp and madcap bedroom farce set in a surprisingly crowded cottage retreat in the 1920s British countryside, where the extramarital misadventures of three couples collide in a whirlwind of secrets, seductions, and increasingly absurd revelations. As passions flare and plans unravel, what begins as a discreet getaway spirals into a chaotic game of deception, desire, and the occasional threat of murder. Fast-paced, witty, and delightfully outrageous, it is a sparkling homage to classic British farce, with nods to Oscar Wilde, Monty Python, and Benny Hill.
Join us for this outrageous comedy at Chenango River Theatre, the area's only AEA professional theatre, running from June 26 through July 12. Performances are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30pm, plus Sunday matinees at 2:00pm. NOTE – Saturday, July 4th will be a special 2:00pm matinee performance (instead of evening). All performances start on time. Recommended for mature audiences 12+.

Arise & Go is an exciting Celtic trio that finds its roots in the dance music of Ireland, Scotland and Atlantic Canada. Blending pipes, whistles, fiddle, and guitar, the group’s varied musical backgrounds combine to produce a sound which is both grounded in tradition and uniquely fresh and driving. From intimate house concerts to festival stages, Arise & Go has been hailed for their “precision and energy”.
Arise & Go’s 2019 release Meeting Place was featured multiple times on NPR’s Thistle & Shamrock radio show, and in Irish Music Magazine, Roots Music Canada, The Boston Irish Reporter and the Irish American News where they have been praised for “musical complexity and colour” that is also “authentically mindful of tradition.” 2026 sees the much anticipated release of the band’s newest project – Moments of Light – as members Ellie Goud (fiddle), Michael Roddy (uilleann pipes, border pipes, smallpipes, whistles) and Tim Ball (guitar, foot percussion) take their arrangements of traditional tunes and original music to exciting new heights.

Jul 11 Saturday
Join us for a day of yoga and wellness at the beautiful farm and gardens of Hunt Country. The retreat will be crafted and led by our local friend and passionate yoga instructor Jan Corning. Joining her as your guides throughout the day are Carrie Kane, Margaret Vlymen, Carol Boutard, and Suzanne Hunt. Together they will provide you with a truly unique and individual experience.
This retreat is for any level of yoga experience and ability, for both men and women. Yoga does not require you to qualify. It doesn’t require a certain body, personality or belief system. It meets you exactly where you are, stiff or strong, skeptical or curious, overwhelmed or grounded. The practice adapts. The breath adjusts. The shapes can be modified. What matters isn’t how you arrive, but that you arrive. The practice of yoga is inclusive and human. You don’t have to become someone else to begin. You just have to be willing to start where you are.
For complete information about the retreat and to register, click on the link.
The Stagecoach Run Art Festival is turning 30!
Many great things were just getting their start in the 1990s – the Internet, the Franklin Stage Company, Bright Hill Press, and the first art tour in the Catskills, the Stagecoach Run Art Festival. The all-volunteer planning committee is working to make this Stagecoach Run the best ever!
Established in 1996, the Stagecoach Run Art Festival is a self-guided tour of venues surrounding the destination village of Franklin. The strong art community in Franklin and its sister village, Treadwell, led to the establishment of an annual event devoted to promoting the visual arts. “Stagecoach” got its name from the Catskill Turnpike, which was created in 1804 and eventually extended from the Hudson River all the way to Erie, Pennsylvania. Travelers on County Route 14 and State Route 357, which becomes Main Street in Franklin, can still spot the stone signposts left from those days.
The countryside around Franklin is some of the loveliest in the Catskills, and the Stagecoach Run Art Festival allows visitors to tour from venue to venue at their own pace. The 2026 Stagecoach Run Art Festival features more than 40 artists in a variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to ceramics and mixed media. Maps of participating sites are available at many locations throughout the area and at each venue. Artists will be on hand to discuss their work, and many pieces are available for purchase.
This year’s events kick off with the opening of the Spotlight Show at Bright Hill Press in Treadwell on Saturday, June 20. The show will contain a representative work of art from each participating artist and will continue through the end of the Festival on July 12. Works purchased at the Spotlight Show support both the artist and Bright Hill.
During the festival weekend, there will be dining options in both Franklin and Treadwell. Look for details about artists, venues, and dining options on Facebook and Instagram.
Franklin and Treadwell are located midway between Delhi and Oneonta, about two and a half hours from the George Washington Bridge.
