Arm-of-the-Sea Theater’s annual magical puppet pageant tells the history of the Saugerties Lighthouse in “Keep That Lamp Trimmed N Burning.” The combination of light projections, live music, and large papier mache puppet characters transport the audience to life at the lighthouse when it was fully functioning and lightkeepers had to struggle to keep the fire lit after dark for ships to safely travel through. 7pm.

Following the life of the last sail cargo ship operating in the US, the schooner Apollonia is a 65-foot sailing ship traveling the Hudson River to deliver goods from Manhattan to upstate and back down again. Since its first trip in May 2020, the Apollonia has delivered more than 95,000 lbs of cargo to 15 ports along the river. Jon Bowermaster and his Oceans 8 Films team have been documenting the ship since its first trip to tell the story of its travels and success delivering goods without fossil fuels.

In this solo piece written and performed by Madeline Sayet, the narrator travels to England to discover not only the connection between Shakespeare and colonialism but her own journey of self-discovery. Sayet is a member of the Native American community and grew up reading Shakespeare and Mohegan stories. In “Where We Belong,” Sayet examines what the English settlers took from Native American people when they stole their land and language. $10-$95. Garrison.
