Art Thieves ConservatoryDates: Tuesday 1/6-3/17 3:30-5. No class 2/17Performances: Tuesday 3/17 at 5pm and Sunday 3/22 at 2pmLocation: The Philipstown Depot TheaterAge: 4-8 gradeInstructor: Bill CoeliusCost: $395Class size: Max of 15Art Thieves Conservatory is a hands-on, fully immersive theatrical experience for the brilliant and sneaky. Improv, singing, dancing, monologues, writing, YouTube videos and smeared clown make-up all wait within the walls of the ATC. (Previous experience and/or actual skill at singing and dancing not required, and if bad at it, must be really bad.)Each year, the Art Thieves Conservatory chooses to steal a regular theater production and create their own version. The regular actors are cast aside, the programs are torn up, and the audience is locked in. Details to follow. (Keep this to yourselves for now, as we don't want to give it away!) Each Art Thieves Conservatory student must follow a modest but strict manifesto:1. No original props. You cannot use the original props of the stolen production. You must make your own with duct tape, newspaper, tin foil, and any recyclable material you can fit into your backpack. 2. No original lighting. You cannot use the lighting grid of the captured theater. You must use flashlights and scoop lights and anything else you can fit into your backpack. 3. We must write our own script. This stolen version is completely up to us. What does this play mean to you? You can keep what you want and toss the rest out the door. You can introduce new characters, monologues, dance numbers, or songs. Every production is stolen but original. Oh -- and performed in under 37 minutes (the average police department response time). The Dean of the Art Thieves Conservatory is professional actor Bill Coelius, a resident of Cold Spring, TV/Film teacher at T. Schreiber Studio in NYC, has over 20 years of arts in education experience and is wanted in over 43 states, 32 countries and counting. www.billcoelius.com

Golden Barre Class 2026 - Golden Barre - Winter 2026
For residents only! It’s the anti-aging workout for active older adults who are looking to improve balance, flexibility, and strength. For our “Barre Tenders”, the barre (or in most cases for students – a chair) is used as a prop for balance, while performing low-impact exercises that focus on isometric strength training (holding your body still while you contract a specific set of muscles) combined with high reps of small range-of-motion movements. For our class: NO actual Barre is required, just a chair or a solid surface (table, countertop, etc). Please note, however: There is no seated work with this program, you will be standing for the duration of class.*Water, towel, and light hand weights are recommended -- but not required.This class will be held in person and live streamed via ZOOM.
