Oct. 18—Nov. 3. RAWSHOCK …a Powerful New Play
What happens to the Group when the system fails? Playwright Rita Lewis debuts her latest play at Manhattan Rep. Inside the group room of a long-term psychiatric facility, current and former patients gather to share personal stories, give mutual support, and provide a safety net for life’s difficulties. All works well until a corporation takes over the hospital and threatens its very existence. Behind the scenes, Liz, the group’s therapist, decides to fight the business mentality. But can a highly trained clinician match skills against an entity of acute intelligence and little heart? TICKETS ARE JUST $25.
Apple Cider Season is Here!
Take a weekend drive to Westchester and visit Thompson’s Cider Mill located in Croton-on-the-Hudson. Voted the best apple cider in Hudson Valley, enjoy their award-winning sweet ciders, artisanal hard ciders, and over 30 different varieties of apples! Nestled next to the Teatown Lake Reservation Nature Preserve in Westchester County, this orchard has been around since the 1870s. And don’t forget to try their delicious apple and pumpkin pies, muffins, and apple wine. It’s the perfect way to spend a fall Saturday or Sunday!
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
