Are You Free Sunday Afternoon?
Don't miss this dreamy performance at the Mahaiwe Sunday at 3PM - stay with us and you'll have time to enjoy a leisurely, post-concert dinner and a choice of affordable rates for a Sunday overnight! Since being first runner-up in the 1998 Thelonious Monk Institute Vocal Competition at the tender age of 20, sultry jazz vocalist Jane Monheit has taken the jazz world by storm, firmly establishing herself as one of the post-millennial jazz world's foremost vocalists.

Merry Pranksters with a Mission
Anti-corporate pranksters, The Yes Men, will present a screening of their new film, The Yes Men Fix the World, followed by a Q&A with director-writer-producer-troublemakers Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno at the Mahaiwe on Friday, November 20th. The Yes Men pose as corporate bigwigs, infiltrate the world of big business, and scandalize unsuspecting audiences in ways that shame the world's biggest corporate criminals. In 2004, United Artists released a feature documentary about their hijinks (The Yes Men directed by Chris Smith, Sarah Price, and Dan Olman) which became an instant cult hit, received numerous festival awards, and was distributed theatrically and on television around the globe.

first exhibition to explore in depth Rockwell's richly detailed study
photographs, created by the artist as references for his iconic
paintings.
