Nyack Weekender: Bald Eagles Return

This weekend, we continue Black History Month with a celebration at the Nyack Center and Five Guys Named Moe at Westchester Broadway Theatre. It is also that time of the year when bald eagles return to the Hudson Valley. Enjoy a day outside and try to spot one. And as Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, stop by an antique sale to shop something for your sweetheart, engage in bar trivia, or join a cooking class.

This Fri-Sun list of what to do and where to do it is brought to you by Rockland Center for the Arts. This Saturday, enjoy the panel discussion The Artists and Intellectuals of South Mountain Road, explore the American Modernism: 20th Century Influencers in Rockland exhibit, or take a stroll through the Catherine Konner Sculpture Park to view the Natural Progressions and RoCA Nest 2019 exhibits. On Tuesday learn the basics of how to tell dynamic stories at One Good Story with Bill Batson. Also, mark your calendars for Camp Open Houses: Sundays March 8, April 5 or May 3.

Friday

The Westchester Broadway Theatre presents Five Guys Named Moe. Nomax is single, broke, and drinking his sorrows away when five guys named Moe–Big Moe, Little Moe, Eat Moe, Know Moe, and Four-Eyed Moe–emerge from his radio to help him straighten out, ease his broken heart, and sing and dance his way to love. In celebration of Black History Month, pay tribute to Louis Jordan, the 1940s rhythm-and-blues singer, songwriter, and bandleader whose new approach to jazz paved the way for rock and roll in the 1950s.
