BROADWAY comes to the ORANGEBURG
with a dramatically-charged theatrical production - “TWO ROOMS”
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16 at 2:00 PM

M&M Productions Acting Company, Inc. presents “TWO ROOMS,” a gritty drama by Lee Blessing and directed by Richard Manichello. Provocative and compelling, this arresting work deals with a subject much in the minds of contemporary society—the taking of innocent hostages by political terrorists. A university professor is taken hostage and his wife is torn between the advice of the government’s agent and a newspaper reporter.

Those who have seen M&M’s “Doubt” and “Three Tall Women,” don’t have to be told to sign up quickly to insure a seat.
The play is free, but we request that you register by calling the library at 845-359-2244, Ext. 10.

“ROSIE: the RIVETER:” A 70th ANNIVERSARY SALUTE to WW II
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 at 2:00 PM


"Rosie the Riveter" is the star of this special video program which highlights the sweeping social transformation that rocked American society on the Home Front from 1941-1945. At the 70th Anniversary of World War II, it is a good time to reflect on how America has changed. For example, as men left their jobs to enlist in the Armed Forces, millions of women joined the labor force as factories expanded to fill the needs of wartime production. And, overseas on the battle fronts, we'll see American movie and radio stars such as Bob Hope, The Andrews Sisters, Abbott and Costello, and many others supporting the war effort by entertaining our troops and selling War Bonds.

This nostalgic documentary, to be presented by producer Harvey Chertok, includes newsreels, propaganda, movies, music and humor to show how traditional American ideals, lifestyles, morals and ethics changed during the war.

PAT WICTOR CONCERT: AMERICAN FOLK, GOSPEL & BLUES
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 18 at 2:00 PM

In a remarkably short time, Pat Wictor has become the name that is talked about on the acoustic, blues, folk and Americana circuits. Steeped in American “roots” music, Pat is a contemporary songwriter drawing from the rural country, gospel and blues traditions of our nation. Having music at his core, Pat grew up outside the U.S., and then came home to the music of America that resonated within him and inspired him as a musician.

Back again, by popular demand, Pat Wictor and his guitar will delight and win you with a concert that is suitable for families, teens and adults. The Concert is free, but registration is strongly suggested.
Please call the library at 845-359-2244, Ext. 10 to sign up.
