The 6th Annual Community Reading of Washington Irving’s timeless classic, Rip Van Winkle, at the historic 1913 Ulster & Delaware Train Station on the MTHS campus.

Storytellers! Here’s your chance to step into the shoes (or perhaps the slumbering boots) of iconic characters. This is a great opportunity to flex your theatrical muscles in a fun, low-pressure environment. Embrace the colorful language and dramatic moments of Irving’s masterpiece – no memorization required!

Spectators can immerse themselves in the charm and humor of Rip Van Winkle as it unfolds in the unique ambiance of the beautifully preserved train station. A delightful afternoon of community, literature, and a touch of old-world magic.

Joining us again this year will be Catskill Artist Matt Bua and the Traveling Rip Exhibit. View the magic and lore of Rip on display at the Train Station.

Also, a magical visit from Rip himself!
