Violet Snow's article appears in the Woodstock Times, and begins:
“Arts and the Great Outdoors” is the first of several suheadings in the
July 3 blog post entitled “Long Weekend in Phoenicia, New York” on the
Fodor’s Travel Intelligence website at www.fodors.com. With commercial
development in the Town of Shandaken limited by watershed regulations
protecting New York City’s drinking water, and many citizens committed
to maintaining the rural character of the region by fighting big
projects like the proposed megaresort at Belleayre, the arts have become
a means of attracting people to Shandaken.
That blog post is one of many to be found on the Fodor's website.

The ‘community’ in theater
A Woodstock Times story about Phoenicia's Shandaken Theatrical Society. The first STS production:
The Spitfire Grill
By James Valcq and Fred Alley. Directed by Glenn Lazlo Weiss. Musical direction by Andrew Goodsight.
Performance Dates:
May 25, 26, 27
June 1, 2, 3
June 8, 9,10.
The theater will be hopping this summer. Although no in-house production has been planned, the space will be rented out for several performances. Lutenist and guitarist Carver Blanchard performs Renaissance and 19th century American music. Arm-of-the-Sea Theater, with its big, whimsical puppets, will give a free performance of The City that Drinks the Mountain Sky, about the Ashokan Reservoir, sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension. And Phoenicia’s own rock star, Robert Burke Warren, a.k.a. Uncle Rock, is planning a concert.
The remainder of the season will include STS productions of A Thousand Clowns, Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys, The Lady with all the Answers: The Ann Landers Play, and the musical Working based on the Studs Terkel book. Weekly showings of classic movies continue, have switched from the last Friday of the month to the last Saturday — with showings bumped back if there’s play on. Check the theater website at for details of shows and films.
