A weekend of magic, movies, and modern dance

CATSKILL—Bridge Street Theatre will present three special events over the weekend of June 27–28, 2026, featuring magic, cult cinema, and contemporary dance.

The weekend begins Saturday, June 27 at 7 p.m. with the return of Hudson Valley magician Thomas Baker. At just 20 years old, Baker has become a favorite with Bridge Street Theatre audiences with his blend of illusion, mind-reading, and audience participation. Suitable for families and audiences of all ages, the performance marks Baker’s latest appearance on the Catskill stage.

Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for students.

Later that evening, Michael Wyrd’s Midnight Movie Madness celebrates Pride Month with a 10:30 p.m. screening of the cult classic To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar on Bridge Street Theatre’s big screen. Starring Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo, the 1995 film follows three drag queens on a cross-country road trip. The evening includes games, trivia, and audience participation. Tickets are $10.

The weekend concludes Sunday, June 28 at 2 p.m. with ecdysis, a solo work by Brooklyn-based choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Marion Spencer, presented by Catwalk Institute. Combining movement, sound, and projection, the work explores themes of transformation and renewal. Spencer was nominated for a 2023 New York Dance and Performance (“Bessie”) Award for Outstanding Breakout Choreographer and has presented work at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, Danspace Project, Gibney, and other venues throughout the country.

Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for students.

All events take place at Bridge Street Theatre, 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill. Tickets may be purchased online at bridgest.org or at the door. For more information, call 518-943-3818.
