Hudson River Maritime Museum seeks docents
WHAT: Volunteer docents wanted WHEN: Weekends from noon to 4p.m. WHERE: Hudson River Maritime Museum, 50 Rondout Landing, Kingston
DETAILS: The museum is seeking volunteer docents at the Rondout Lighthouse. Qualified applicants will spend a weekend afternoon enjoying the river views while teaching the visiting public about the story of the lighthouse and its keepers. The lighthouse is accessible only by ferry boat that operates from the museum’s dock. The tour groups are small with a maximum of six visitors per trip. Each tour is approximately 30 minutes. Training is provided. Interested applicants should be able to handle boarding the ferry and climbing the stairs at lighthouse, as well as be able to read and retain detailed information and be comfortable speaking to the general public.
CONTACT: Those interested should fill out our online volunteer application, available athrmm. org/volunteer, or contact Director of Education Sarah Wassberg at volunteer@hrmm.org or call (845) 338-0071, ext. 16, for questions. The museum also has other tour guide opportunities, such as school programs, adult group tours and walking tours.
Theater group performs July 23 at Opus 40
WHAT: Theater group performance WHEN: July 23 at 7 p.m.
WHERE: Opus 40 Sculpture Park & Museum, 50 Fite Road, Saugerties
DETAILS: The New York Citybased theatre group Dzieci brings its unique take to Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” A riotous Gypsy tribe greets its audience with song and psychic readings, then embarks on its wildly ritualistic version of “Macbeth” — called “Makbet.” It’s an immersion beneath the skin of Shakespeare, and an experience that audiences have said is absolutely liberating!” Tickets are $15. Doors open at 6 p.m. There is lawn seating. Those planning to attend should bring a flashlight.
CONTACT: Call(845) 246-3400 or visit opus40.org for more information.
