Food Fight at the Library The NorthEast-Millerton Library and the libraries in the Mid-Hudson Library System has been challenged to a Food Fight by the Dover Plains Library. During the month of November the library will be collecting non-perishable food for the benefit of the Millerton Food Pantry. To encourage everyone to participate, the library will forgive overdue fines for anyone who brings in donations for the Pantry. If you have been reluctant to return to the library because of overdue fines, now is the time to take advantage of the amnesty and wipe the slate clean! At the same time you will be doing something for others less fortunate in the community. Look for the box inside the library and drop off food items. The library is open Tuesday through Thursday 11:00 -7:00, Friday 2:00-6:00, Saturday 10:00-3:00, and Sunday 2:00-5:00. For more information call 518-789-3340. Start: 6:00 pm

Measure for Measure Measure for Measure, one of Shakespeare’s more daring and inventive plays, and certainly one of his more challenging for actors, directors and designers will be performed November 13th – 23 rd in Parker Theatre on the campus of the State University of New York at New Paltz. The play is directed by Paul Kassel, associate professor of Theatre Arts. Measure for Measure is a provocative and darkly comic investigation into the themes of justice, mercy, and forgiveness. Upon his departure from Vienna, Duke Vincentio decides to leave the city government in the hands of his deputy Angelo. Angelo resolves to revive harsh laws against sexual freedom which have long ago fallen into disuse. Under these laws a young gentleman, Claudio, is sentenced to death for having made his fiancée Juliet pregnant before their wedding ceremony. Angelo meets with Claudio’s sister Isabella, a novice nun, who pleads for mercy on behalf of Claudio. Overcome with lust, Angelo promises Isabella that he will free Claudio if she will sleep with him. Measure for Measure will be performed in Parker Theatre on the campus of SUNY New Paltz on November 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, at 8:00 p.m. and on November 16 & 23 at 2:00 p.m. call the Box Office at 845-257-3880 Monday – Friday, 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. or by visiting: www.newpaltz.edu/theatre Start: 9:00 am
