Classic Films Plus!

So we've started a new film series, bringing you classic cinema from the past paired with related fun.

Last Sunday we screened the hilarious Marx Brothers' farce Duck Soup, accompanied by analysis by comedy instructor Rick Conety.

Coming up on Sunday April 4 for a 2pm matinee, we'll bring you The Mark of Zorro to be followed by an exciting live sword fencing demonstration by foil instructor Richard Cherry and students.

In May, we're hoping to bring you a Friday night classic 80s flick accompanied by pizza from Spoonful Catering at our outdoor community bread oven. Help us select the film by answering the poll at left. Or, join the conversation by posting your thoughts and comments here!

Drum roll please....

Introducing the ONLINE EDITION of the Hubbard Hall Times!

We know you LOVE the paper edition of the Hubbard Hall Times. Must be the smell of the ink. Don't think we haven't noticed you lurking in the hallway behind the Village Store and Valley Artisans Market waiting to grab the first copy hot off the presses.

So why do we want to blog the Times? Yeah, we try to be green. And we'd love to get you all the latest news and updates at faster-than-snail-mail pace. Watch this blog space and you'll be among the FIRST to get news of upcoming opera and theater performances, dance events, and concerts. Get details on classes and workshops so you can register before they fill up. Get tickets before they sell out. Yup, you'll see it here first.

But the BIG IDEA behind a Hubbard Hall Times blog is to open a new kind of dynamic communication with our audience. Which classes are you signing up for and why? What did you really think of last weekend's performance? Share your ideas, feelings, point of view; it's a two-way conversation. After all, our mission is to Make Art and COMMUNITY happen!

Now that's a reason to lurk around, don't you think? We look forward to your participation. Thanks for helping us get with the Times!
