As dusk settles over the Catskill hills, The Party Theater invites you back into the woods for our 5th annual Microcosm: LORE&mdash;one night only! A lantern-lit trail leads you through pasture, barn, and pond&rsquo;s edge, where twelve local artists have hidden new works of dance, theater, music, puppetry, film and more. Step into a landscape transformed by folk-rock ghost stories of Rip Van Winkle, field recordings of frogs rising into a choral soundscape, the myth of Arachne&#39;s web that never stops weaving. Along the way: Czech folklore, a duet in goldenrod, Victorian poetry reborn as movement, and much more.&nbsp; 2026 Microcosm artists are: - Clare Bierman &amp; Mikey Rosenbaum- Djahari Clark &amp; David Kamm- Ilona Kohlova- Joanna Mendl-Shaw &amp; Sarah France- Rhea Nowak- Jami Reimer- Shane Perry- Rod Sauquillo&nbsp;- Glenna Yu Program director is Adrian Shirk, with producers Kristin &ldquo;Kiki&rdquo; McCalley and Marisa Caruso. Lighting design by Moonstar Lighting. Audio environments by E.C. Hooper.&nbsp;<span fr-original-style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important; box-sizing: inherit;">Drinks available by donation and a food pop-up for purchase will be available.Bonfire and festivities to follow until 9:00pm.&nbsp; <span fr-original-style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important; box-sizing: inherit;">**Please note that a fair amount of walking on occasionally uneven ground is necessary to view most of the performances. ** Microcosm is a production of <a fr-original-style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="https://thepartytheater.com/" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">The Party Theater</a>.
