Hit the road. Fisher Center at Bard, June 23 to August 14.

The best reason to rent (gasp) a car (hiss) is to get to this festival up at Bard College, a summer engagement that has, in the past, included the first iteration of Daniel Fish’s so-called sexy

Oklahoma!, as well as various opera and dance shenanigans. This year’s includes Molière’s Dom

Juan (June 23–July 17), a new collaboration between super-choreographer Pam Tanowitz and composer David Lang (July 1–3), and programming at the Spiegeltent, a bedazzled fabric venue with a lineup of musical guests from Nona Hendryx

to Martha Redbone to Justin Vivian Bond (June 24–August 6).
