Waiting for the new curtain to rise
The newly revamped Woodstock Playhouse opened on Thursday evening to great acclaim with a marvelous staging of A Chorus Line. “One” [Singular Sensation], the musical’s signature number, sums up the cast, the production and the new décor.

A Chorus Line plays through July 10 (present your Experience Woodstock Card to receive $2 off Gold seating tickets).

Anything Goes will be staged from July 15 through 24.

The season finishes up with Hair, from August 4 through 13.

Mowers Saturday Flea Market

Mowers Saturday Flea market is a place to relax, shop, meet old friends, discover some great bargains and experience the beautiful seasons in upstate New York. For 34 years, this privately owned lot in the center of Woodstock has been transformed each weekend into an outdoor shopping venue. Vendors, who travel from far and wide to set up in Woodstock, offer a wide range of items for sale. Books, vintage jewelry, second hand household items, furniture, records, CD’s DVD’s, gemstones, antiques, glassware, Buddhas, incense, fresh organic produce, honey, maple syrup, tarot card readers, energy balancers . . . it’s all found at Mowers Saturday Flea market. 


You may also find photographers and artists set up with their beautiful creations framed and ready for your home. If you are hungry, you can feast on the best “dirty water” hot dogs on Saturday or the most scrumptious classic hot dogs on Sunday. Wednesday in Woodstock is Farm Fest day and Mower’s field plays host to the food vendors and the music venue for the Woodstock Farm Festival. The fresh organic produce farmers are set up in Houst’s parking lot on Maple Lane. Hundreds of people stop by to support the farmers, enjoy a meal together and listen to music. They also shop at the Mowers vendors that are set up around the periphery of the farm market activities. For further information, check the information line at 845-679-6744.
