ESTUARY TALES: The Life & Times of the Hudson River will begin at 3pm. This performance spectacle fuses live music, movement and large-scale puppetry in a deep dive into the checkered history of “America’s River”. Giant sturgeon, eels and river otters ply the stage, alongside steamboats, fishermen, immigrants, and citizen scientists. With whimsy and ingenuity, the show reveals the Hudson River’s complex inner life and chronicles the long struggle to clean up the river.
Designed to engage ages 5 to 95, this production is 1 hour in length and presented by a six-member cast.

Arm-of-the-Sea is an arts ensemble that fuses visual storytelling with live music in large-scale works of mask and puppet theater. Founded in 1982 by Marlena Marallo and Patrick Wadden, the company’s hybrid performance style channels the evocative power of the arts as a force for joy, insight, and community uplift. Their low-tech devices of theatrical enchantment illuminate relations between humans and the life-support networks of this blue-ocean planet. Learn more.
