An Update on the New Lebanon Library’s New Mascot

At the beginning of the year, the New Lebanon Library invited local students to create a new mascot for the library. The winning design, “Calvin the book” was revealed in March, and now we have an updated look at Calvin from the library.

At the beginning of the year, the New Lebanon Library invited local students (ages 5-18) to create a new mascot for the library. The winning design, “Calvin the book” created by local 4th grader Logan, was revealed in March, and now we have an update from the library. Calvin now has color and a few minor details (see below), and will soon become a regular fixture around the library.

Secondly, the plush version of Calvin is in production, and the winning designer, Logan, will receive his copy of Calvin and the New Lebanon Library will have their own version for patrons to check out and take on trips. It is the library’s hope that patrons will have many fun adventures with Calvin and share them with the library!

The Theater Barn Celebrates its 35th season in New Lebanon

The Theater Barn, in New Lebanon, opens this Friday (June 22nd), for its 2018 season, which is it’s 35th season!  The season kicks off with the comedy “The Nerd” by Larry Shue. Following the show the audience is invited to stay for a complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres reception with the cast and crew to celebrate the 35th Season.

The 2018 season runs from Friday through the fall with plays, musicals, and the always popular Agatha Christie mystery.

2018 SCHEDULE:

June 22 through July 1- “The Nerd”
The action centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he’s never met but who saved his life in Vietnam—the visitor turning out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance.

July 5 through July 22 – “Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap”
Murder and mayhem ensue in the world’s longest running play by the foremost mystery writer of her time.

July 25 through August 5  – “Pump Boys and Dinettes”
The ‘Pump Boys’ sell high octane on Highway 57 and the ‘Dinettes’, run the Double Cupp diner next door. With heartbreak and hilarity they fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on and off-Broadway.

August 9 through August 19 – “She Loves Me”
Set in a 1930s European perfumery, it is considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written. She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world elegance.

August 23 through September 2 – “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, it has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor.

September 7 through September 23 – “The Decorator”
Marcia returns to her flat to find it has not been painted. A part time painter is just beginning the work when the wife of the man with whom Marcia is having an affair arrives to tell all to her husband. Marcia hires the painter a part time actor, to impersonate her husband. Hilarity is piled upon hilarity as the painter, who takes his acting very seriously, portrays the absent husband.
