Lyndhurst presents Summer Theater2025
Fridays & Saturdays, July - August 2025 6pm to 7:30pm Lyndhurst Greenhouse Grounds
Shakespeare’s As You Like It
This summer, M&M Performing Arts and Red Monkey Theater Group will introduce open-air theater in the Palm Court of the Greenhouse at Lyndhurst. Enjoy the fresh summer air and a wonderful Shakespearean performance with your family or friends. The company will perform As You Like It alfresco under the stunning metal skeleton of the Lord & Burnham 1880s gothic greenhouse. All the world’s a stage as the characters in Shakespeare’s classic comedy As You Like It navigate politics, injustice, love, and gender identity. Join us in the Palm Court to see if love really can conquer all.
Performances, beginning promptly at 6:00 pm, will be open to the elements and performed on a weather-permitting basis. Performances are 90 minutes without an intermission. At 6:00 pm, the audience will gather in front of the greenhouse and proceed to the Palm Court, where seating will be provided.
Picnicking is an important part of the outdoor summer theater experience! Your ticket includes early access starting at 4:30 pm to a specified picnic area adjacent to the greenhouse. There are no picnic tables on the premises, and the chairs are for the theater performance only. You are welcome to bring low-profile tables and chairs, a blanket, and an umbrella for shade. Feel free to leave your picnic gear in place (umbrellas closed) while you watch the performance. Please clear your dinner area as you exit, as picnicking is carry-in, carry-out. Tents, open flame, and BBQs are not permitted.
We are partnering with Geordanes Neighborhood Market. Pre-ordered dinners can be conveniently picked up at the Greenhouse before the show!
Tickets: $49 + fees

Hudson River Museum Presents:Lens on the Hudson:Photographs by Joseph Squillante.
Dates/Times: May 9-October 19; Wednesday–Friday, 12–5pm
Saturday & Sunday, 11am–5pm
First Friday of each month, 5–8pm FREE Location: 511 Warburton Ave, Yonkers
For fifty years, Joseph Squillante has captured the Hudson River’s magnificence, producing thousands of evocative photographs that offer a lens into the past and present of this historic waterway. While his portfolio includes portraiture, still life, and abstraction, he is best known for his romantic landscapes along the Hudson’s 315 miles. Squillante describes his mission as “raising awareness of the beauty of the Hudson River through photography,” documenting the river’s ever-changing light, seasons, and weather, from its source at Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondacks to its mouth at New York City.
This exhibition celebrates Squillante’s golden anniversary by highlighting his intersection with the environmental movements that gained momentum along the river in the 1970s and continue today. As protests escalated against industrial development that scarred the shoreline and polluted the waters, Squillante grounded his work in visual storytelling—illustrating both the river’s splendor and the efforts to protect it. He has sailed aboard the Clearwater sloop, photographed singer-activist Pete Seeger, documented the PCB dredging operations, and chronicled eagle banding and monitoring programs that contributed to the species’ resurgence in the mid-Hudson Valley. “As photography stops time,” he states, “it has an inherent ability to preserve moments for posterity, documenting our traditions and thereby protecting our future.”
A Life Member of the American Society of Media Photographers, Squillante is also on the teaching artist roster of ArtsWestchester. His work is held in the collections of the New York Historical, the Museum of the City of New York, the Albany Institute of History & Art, the New York State Museum, and the Hudson River Museum. Far from slowing down, he continues to explore the Hudson’s grandeur, hiking through the Highlands to shoot panoramic vistas and joining Riverkeeper boat captains on the water. His images immerse us in the river’s natural sublimity while revealing the intricate connections between people, animals, and this vital waterway.
This exhibition is supported in part by Nicholas and Shelley Robinson.
Exhibitions are made possible by assistance provided by the County of Westchester.
Admission for Seniors: $9

Warner Library Presents:Experiencing the Neutral Ground of the American Revolution: The McDonald Interviews (Zoom), 7/9 @ 7 PM
Launched by the Westchester County Historical Society in February 2025, Experiencing the Neutral Ground of the American Revolution: The McDonald Interviews is a digital collection containing over 400 firsthand accounts of the Revolutionary War.

These accounts shed light on some of the more well-known incidents of the Revolution that took place in these counties, such as the Battle of White Plains and the capture of Major John Andre, but also reveal the struggles of the residents who lived through this tumultuous time.
This presentation will introduce the creation of the collection and highlight excerpts from the interviews. It will also explain the structure of the digital collection and provide tips for browsing and searching.
Presented by Patrick Raftery, Associate Director and Librarian for the Westchester County Historical Society.
