Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) It would be an empty world without the blues. Based on August Wilson’s 1982 play, it stars Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman (sadly his last film) and Glynn Turman. Inspired by the career of Ma Rainey, an influential blues singer and the title character, the film dramatizes a turbulent recording session in 1920’s Chicago. Rated R: 1 hour, 34minutes.

Stress and anxiety are feelings we all experience. Though sometimes uncomfortable and overwhelming, stress and anxiety are personally meaningful. Cultivating mindfulness creates space for stress and anxiety to sit more comfortably with us, creating a foundation for getting in touch with their roots. If you are interested in cultivating mindfulness to deal with stress and anxiety, join Anthony Gonzalez, a mental health counseling intern and student at SUNY New Paltz, for weekly group lessons in mindfulness.

Come and meet new friends and join in on a game that is played all over the world.  Mahjong enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to play every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. The sessions are open-ended and participants can play as many or as few games as they wish.  Players with mahjong sets are encouraged to bring them, as the Library has only a limited number to loan. This program is free, ongoing and open to players from all communities.

Professor Chris Reali of Ramapo College will provide a chronological introductory examination of rock 'n roll, broadly conceived, within its historical and cultural contexts.  Each class - 10/4, 11/1 and 12/6 - will analyze the sociocultural, political, economic, and technological forces that have shaped the development of rock 'n roll, with particular attention to examples from the United States and a few from "across the pond."  The three classes survey numerous musical styles including blues, rhythm and blues, country, pop, folk, progressive rock, heavy metal, disco, rap, punk and “alternative” rock.  Register once to attend all three sessions; attendance at all sessions is encouraged.
