It’s hard to imagine life
in Park Slope without the Old Stone House. That’s why you should think about coming to a benefit costume party this Saturday night. It’s only $40 per
person and you don’t have to wear a costume—just dance.
The Old Stone House is operated as a
historic interpretive center dedicated to its crucial role in the
American Revolution and in the evolving histories of Brooklyn, New York
and the United States. It also serves as a dynamic community resource through its
education programs and events. In addition to historical exhibits open
to the public, the House is available by appointment for tours, classes
and rentals.
And there’s so much more:
–Outdoor Shakespeare with Piper Theater in JJ Byrne Park. Last summer’s Coney Island-themed Midsummers Night Dream
was wonderful.
–Shakespeare Camp with John McEneny; parents are still swooning about what a great time their kids had.
–Brooklyn Film Works with films like The Little Fugitive, The Candidate and The Manchurian Candidate and other great films al fresco.
–The Harvest Festival last Sunday, when more than 1,000 kids and adults gathered for pony rides, face painting, costume
making and MORE.
–Barbara Ensor’s Thumbalina, Tiny Runaway Bride, an art show currently on view with fanciful fairy tale silhouettes and cut outs.
–Poetry Punch, the Memoirathon, the Edgy Mother’s Day event and other great readings at Brookyn Reading Works.
–Concerts, readings, films, theater, gatherings of
all kinds. We love the Old Stone House and it DESERVES this community’s
support: Order Your Tickets Now!
