Tonight come to the Park Slope social event of the year: a benefit costume party for the Old Stone House at the Lyceum tonight. It’s only $40 per person and you don’t have to wear a costume—just dance.

What a fun, festive way to support the Old Stone House, which 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.

Who can imagine life in Park Slope without the Old Stone House?

–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 Manchurian Candidate, Moonstruck, What’s Up Doc? and other great films al fresco.
–The Harvest Festival last Sunday, where 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.
