Steve Martin and Carl Reiner, the comedic minds behind The Jerk and The Man with Two Brains, deliver Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, a hilarious and inventive comedy-noir. Martin stars as private eye Rigby Reardon, investigating the mysterious death of Juliet Forrest’s (Rachel Ward) father, a renowned scientist and cheesemaker. As Reardon follows a maze of clues and the elusive “Carlotta Lists,” he encounters classic Hollywood icons like Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and Bette Davis in a clever mix of new footage and vintage clips. A witty, stylish homage to noir that’s as clever as it is fun.

Come join us for a pink moon yoga Nidra and deep rest session to cultivate renewal this April 1. This class will focus on calming the mind and body, using the April full moon's themes of growth, spring, and rejuvenation to promote deep sleep and relaxation. 

Listen to the tranquil visual and guided imagery as you gently relax and restore. One hour equals 3-4 hours of deep sleep and you will feel genuinely refreshed and reinvigorated after the session. There will be no yoga poses.

Participants who suffer from insomnia, stress, depression, inflammation will especially benefit from this ancient practice of Yoga Nidra from India.

Designed for all ages, no experience necessary — stressed office workers, students or parents with whirring minds who are always ‘on the go’, or those practicing intense or competitive sports and need to calm both body and mind.

Bring 2-3 blankets, a yoga mat, eye pillow and bolster for under the knees.

Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, The Shepherd and The Bear explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community. The film follows an ageing shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, The Shepherd and The Bear is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.

Join us in celebrating the kickoff of the growing season at Westchester Land Trust’s food pantry garden, in this family-friendly event!

Have you been interested in starting a garden of your own, but aren’t sure where to begin? Or are you feeling inspired to get your hands dirty and help fight hunger in our community? Come explore the possibilities and get to know WLT Staff and our partners in local sustainable agriculture at this open house at Sugar Hill Farm, our headquarters in Bedford Hills.

We’ll gather to plant the first seeds of the season, using garden tools forged from firearms during last year’s Guns to Garden Tools event, a symbolic reminder of the healing power of connection to nature. Bring your mini up-and-coming farmers to learn about local growing through story time with Farmer Marc, enjoy nature-based crafts for all ages, and free children’s books to take home.

Refreshments will be served and there will be opportunities to win a raffle and other prizes. Plus, take home free seeds to start a garden of your own and learn about local sustainable agriculture with farmer Allison Turcan of DIG Farm, soil health and nutrient density with Ellen Best, Karen Simons, and Joe Mulligan of the Bionutrient Food Association, and foraging and herbalism with Livia Fleming of the Wild Roots Project.

Learn about our garden volunteer program, which welcomes all ages and abilities to connect with each other, the environment, and their food, through hands-on experience. Last year, with the help of our volunteers, over 2,100 lbs. of fresh produce was grown at Sugar Hill Farm and donated to local pantries. That’s over 10,000 servings!

Connect with us and find out how YOU can help make a difference in your community and leave empowered with the knowledge of how to grow locally and sustainably.

Presented in partnership with the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Food Inc. 2 is a timely and urgent follow-up to the Oscar-nominated documentary from directors Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo. In the sequel, Kenner and Robledo reunite with investigative authors Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) to take a fresh look at our vulnerable food system.The groundbreaking Food Inc. ignited a cultural conversation about the multinational corporations that control our food system at enormous cost to our planet, workforce, and health. Food Inc. 2 comes “back for seconds” to reveal how corporate consolidation has gone unchecked by our government, leaving us with a highly efficient yet shockingly vulnerable food system dedicated only towards increasing profits. Seeking solutions, the film introduces innovative farmers, food producers, workers’ rights activists, and prominent legislators such as U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester, who are facing these companies head-on and fighting to create a more sustainable future. A Q&A follows the film.

As our nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Cannon Ridge Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is honored to extend an invitation to a commemorative evening in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, the Cannon Ridge Chapter will host the Remembrance Ball at the historic Lounsbury House. This black-tie gala commemorates our Nation’s Semiquincentennial, pays tribute to those who fought for American independence, and respectfully honors all sacrifices made at the Battle of Ridgefield. 

Gold’s Dragoons of Westport will be joining us to pay tribute to the great-grandson of their founder and fellow Gold’s Dragoon, Patriot Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould of Fairfield, who was killed in action as he led his men during some of the fiercest fighting of the Battle of Ridgefield. Keith Marshall Jones III, author and the definitive voice of the Battle of Ridgefield, will serve as the Master of Ceremonies. 

The evening will feature an exceptional dinner prepared by Chef Forrest Pasternack, trained at the Culinary Institute of America. The menu will be rooted in the revolutionary era and inspired by the storied hospitality of George and Martha Washington. Thereafter, guests will be invited to dance, and to participate in a charitable bidding, reflecting the long-held tradition of society assembling in fellowship and service to the common good.  

Proceeds from the Remembrance Ball will remain local to Connecticut and New York and will support the Cannon Ridge Chapter’s charitable initiatives in education, patriotism—particularly service to veterans and their families—and historic preservation.

We would be delighted by the pleasure of your company and hope you will join us for this meaningful occasion.

Join us in the Sculpture Garden for an unforgettable evening of cocktails, dinner, and a live auction as we celebrate Stephanie and Tim Ingrassia and NXTHVN, co-founded by Titus Kaphar and Jason Price, for their commitment to arts and culture in Connecticut!

Big city mobsters and the Broadway stage collide hilariously in this side-splitting all-star comedy! John Cusack stars as David Shayne, an idealistic young writer who'll do anything to get his first Broadway play off the ground -- even if it means teaming up with the mob. Surrounded by a wacky cast of characters including a gangster's ditzy and talentless girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly), a tipsy actress (Dianne Wiest), and a mob hit man (Chazz Palminteri), Shayne's got to pull it all off before the curtain falls and bullets start to fly! A Q&A with Chazz Palminteri follows the film.

Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Amanda Plummer and Mercedes Ruehl star in Terry Gilliam's must-see comic masterpiece. Williams is Parry, a homeless history professor who lives in a fantasy world full of castles, Red Knights and damsels in distress. Bridges co-stars as Jack, New York's #1 shock deejay, whose off-hand arrogance triggers a tragedy which ruins his career. Penniless and without prospects, Jack finds himself plucked from disaster by the most improbable of saviors... Parry.

The Founders wanted schools to teach students to understand our political system and to engage in reasoned political debate as adults; the Schoolhouse at John Jay Homestead was built for Jay children and also for the children of tenant farmers and farm hands. Historian, journalist and former Friends of John Jay Homestead speaker on his renowned John Quincy Adams: Militant Spirit, Traub spent a year exploring how schools now teach students–or fail to teach them–the essentials of American history and government, as well as how to use that knowledge in respectful, informed debate. Note: the talk will be preceded by a short business section of John Jay Homestead's Annual Meeting.

As part of the national commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, The Glass House will, for the first time, open the 1783 Grainger House and its celebrated peony and iris garden for public tours. The house sits on one of New Canaan’s earliest registered land parcels and was originally known as the Finch House, named for the early New Canaan family who farmed the land.

Purchased in 1990 by David Whitney, partner of Philip Johnson, the house has been carefully restored to its 18th-century form. Whitney furnished the home with significant modernist art and design, elements that remain on view today, including a striking window etching by artist Michael Heizer. He also created a remarkable garden, planting a rare collection of perennial peonies and irises, and installing a sculpture by artist Alessandro Twombly.

Together, the house and garden vividly illustrate the dialogue between early American architectural traditions and the 20th-century art and design that define The Glass House.

Save the Date! Our Ridgefield Town Party is back for its second year!

Join us for a lively discussion about Bugs—the smallest, and possibly most critical, creatures in Bedford's ecosystem.

The evening will feature Dr. Jessica Ware, award-winning curator at the American Museum of Natural History where she serves as Chair of the Division of Invertebrate Zoology. The world of insects is far more fascinating—and far more important—than most of us realize. Dr. Ware will introduce us to the astonishing diversity of insects that share our landscapes, from bees and butterflies to dragonflies, beetles, and ants. She and Mianus River Gorge’s Dr. Chris Nagy will explain why these tiny creatures play an outsized role in healthy ecosystems—pollinating plants, recycling nutrients, and supporting the food web. Bedford residents will leave with a new sense of curiosity about the insects they encounter every day, and a clearer understanding of how our choices—from gardening to land stewardship—affect the smallest members of our local ecosystem. The event will close with audience Q&A.
Dr. Ware is the author of "Bugs (A Day in the Life): What Do Bees, Ants, and Dragonflies Get up to All Day?", a children's book about bugs. Books will be available for sale and signing.

The evening will be moderated by David Pogue, the Emmy Award–winning journalist, author, and television host best known for his work with CBS Sunday Morning, The New York Times, and NOVA. A Bedford resident, Pogue brings curiosity, clarity, and wit to conversations that bridge science, culture, and everyday life.

Vibrant orange sunflowers. Rippling yellow grain. Trees bursting with white bloom. "The pictures come to me as in a dream," Vincent Van Gogh said. A dream that too often turned to life-shattering nightmare. Winner of Golden Globe and New York Film Critics Best Actor Awards, Kirk Douglas gives a fierce portrayal as the artist torn between the joyous inspiration of his genius and the dark desperation of his tormented mind. The obsessed Van Gogh painted the way other men breathe, driving away family and friends, including artist Paul Gauguin (1956 Best Supporting Actor Academy Award winner Anthony Quinn). Directed by Vincente Minnelli and saturated with the hues of Van Gogh's sea, field and sky, Lust for Life captures the ecstasy of art. And the agony of one man's life.

Few artists embody the heart and soul of their city like Trombone Shorty. Perhaps the most recognizable ambassador for New Orleans music working today, Shorty has spent his entire life not only carrying the torch for Crescent City culture, but also propelling it forward into the 21st century with his ecstatic live performances and intoxicating blend of rock, funk, soul, jazz, blues, hip-hop, and Caribbean influences.

Created by Carl Palmer and his management, the show will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT- THIS IS THE REAL THING.  Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick).

All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson, Lake & Palmer show.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals, bass, guitar, producer), and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson’s flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group).

Bring the kids out, because Santa's coming to town!

Get ready for some horse-ridin', gun-totin', whiskey-drinkin' fun in Lawrence Kasdan's SILVERADO! The spirited Western stars Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, and Danny Glover as four unwitting heroes who cross paths on their journey to the sleepy town of Silverado. Little do they know the town where their family and friends reside has been taken over by a corrupt sheriff and a murderous posse. It's up to the sharp-shooting foursome to save the day, but first they have to break each other out of jail, and learn who their real friends are. Thanks to its authentic look and spectacular cast, which also includes Rosanna Arquette, John Cleese, Brian Dennehy, Jeff Goldblum, and Oscar-winner Linda Hunt (1983 Best Supporting Actress, The Year of Living Dangerously), this exciting Old West adventure created a whole new generation of Western fans and earned its "modern classic" status.
