SHOWTIME!
With New York City a short hop away, Westchester attracts world-class talent who take the stage at venues ranging from classic theaters to historic estates. Here are just a few top picks for your entertainment pleasure!
Capitol Theatre
Capitol Theatre
[PORT CHESTER]
Built for Vaudeville, the Capitol Theatre is now Westchester’s premier rock palace with state-of-the- art light, sound and video systems. Don’t forget to stop by “Garcia’s” — yes, this lobby bar honors late Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, who called the Capitol a “pretty groovy” place to play.
Paramount Hudson Valley Theater
[PEEKSKILL]
Renovated and revived, this once-grand movie house is a thriving performing arts theater. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Paramount offers a packed schedule, from musical icons like Melissa Etheridge and Robert Cray, to Beatles and Pink Floyd tribute shows, to renowned comics.
Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts
[KATONAH]
Flamenco guitars in the Spanish Courtyard. Jazz
in the Venetian Theater. Musicales in the historic Rosen House. You get the idea — Caramoor is the perfect spot to get away from it all and enjoy world- class music in a one-of-a- kind setting year-round. Bring a hamper of goodies for pre-concert picnic amid the lush gardens.
Emelin Theatre
[MAMARONECK]
The County’s oldest continuously operating performing arts theater, Emelin’s mantra is “entertain, educate, invigorate.” This is a year
of anniversaries: 35 years
of bluegrass performances and 10 years for the Emelin Film Club (watch for special pre-release screenings). Plus you’ll find an affordable mix of performances in every imaginable genre — classical, big band, rock, comedy, dance and
even magic.
