Mount Saint Mary College was founded by the Sisters of Saint Dominic in 1959, but the Mount has been an academic presence here in Newburgh since 1883. The college’s roots in education, and in the training of educators, go even further back to the 14th century and Saint Dominic.

We offer our students an affordable liberal arts education with strong academic undergraduate programs and three graduate programs. Our degree programs in business, education, the health professions, media arts, and the social sciences are linked to high career growth fields. Mount students excel in their chosen fields by selecting internships and study abroad experiences that add dimension and value to their education.

Mount Saint Mary College was ranked a Top-Tier Regional University (North) by U.S. News & World Report, and is on the federal President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

The Tom Humphrey Guitar Series serves to honor the memory of the legendary Hudson Valley-based luthier who passed away in 2008. The idea for the concerts came from Tom Humphrey just two months before his death. In a series of meetings with Chris Silva of the Bardavon, Richard Cocco, Jr. of La Bella Strings and Tricia Haggerty Wenz of the Ritz Theater and Safe Harbors of the Hudson, Humphrey laid the ground work for a guitar series at the Ritz which in its first three seasons has presented performances by Odair Assad, Pete Seeger, Cindy Cashdollar, Larry Coryell, and many others.

The concert will be held in the Ritz Theater Lobby at 107 Broadway in Newburgh. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling the Ritz Theater Box Office at (845) 784-1199. For your convenience we now accept all major credit cards. Tickets may also be purchased through TicketWeb at (866) 468-7619, www.ticketweb.com. All tickets are general admission and include a reception with the musicians immediately following the concert. Seating is limited. The Box Office opens at 7:00 PM the evening of the concert, and the doors open at 7:30 PM.

The Ritz Theater is pleased to present the world’s most famous mentalist, The Amazing Kreskin on Saturday, March 24 with two performances at 3 PM and 8PM in the Ritz Theater Lobby at 107 Broadway in Newburgh. Kreskin promises to find his hidden check or forfeit his fee!

The Amazing Kreskin, a bona fide mentalist, has been captivating audiences for more than six decades, with a showman’s flair and comedian’s wit! His very name has become an integral part of pop culture throughout the world, invoked in comedy clubs, comic strips, print stories, and TV shows.

In 2008, Tom Hanks produced and co-starred with John Malkovich in “The Great Buck Howard” which was fashioned after the Amazing Kreskin’s life. After over 50 years of performing, Kreskin has a new cult following. To quote David Letterman, “Kreskin should sue the producers of the TV show, “The Mentalist” for stealing his act. He’s the best mentalist in the world and he’s not acting!” Kreskin can tell people things about themselves that only a close family member or friend would know!

For his performance in Newburgh, The Amazing Kreskin has asked that his check be hidden somewhere in the Ritz Theater Lobby during the show. He will attempt to find it and if he fails, he will forfeit his fee. In addition Kreskin will offer $1,000,000.00 to anybody who can prove that he employs paid secret assistants or confederates in any phase of his program to help him perform his mentalist “effects.”

The performances will be held in the Ritz Theater Lobby at 107 Broadway in Newburgh. Tickets are $25 each. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Ritz Theater Box Office at (845) 784-1199, all major credit cards accepted. Tickets are also available through TicketWeb at (866) 468-7619, www.ticketweb.com All tickets are general admission and seating is limited.

Bucky Pizzarelli with Salvo Guttilla (on right)

The Ritz Theater would like to thank Salvo Guttilla (1964-2012) for his service on the Board of Directors of the Ritz Theater and for supporting our mission to create a vibrant professional performing arts venue in the city of Newburgh that revitalizes the local economy, enriches the education of youth, and enhances community pride. You will be missed, and you are always in our hearts.

The artist has launched a “kickstarter” campaign to fund this project, which will only be possible if $13,860 is pledged by Wednesday Apr 11, 10:29pm EDT.

A message from the artist regarding his new project:

I have been taking photographs in Newburgh for 16 years. Newburgh is the beautiful, crumbling city on the Hudson River not far from where we live in Garrison NY. The pictures are going to be published by W. W. Norton in September.

To coincide with the publication, I am planning an outdoor exhibition of mural size prints (4ft x 6ft) which will be displayed on the wall of the Ritz Theater in Newburgh. Through the online crowd funding website Kickstarter, I am today launching an appeal for contributions to help pay for this.

To see more of my photographs of Newburgh, go to www.kasterine.com/newburgh If you would like to help make this project possible, please support it through Kickstarter. You will find details of the exhibition and how to pledge on their site. Bear in mind that it is only a pledge you make; if I do not reach my goal you will not be charged.

Also be aware that this opportunity must be caught on the wing. Kickstarter only allows thirty days to reach my goal.

I am grateful for your time in considering this endeavor. If it is not of your particular interest I quite understand. Otherwise, many, many thanks.

All the best,
Dmitri

For Richichi, this latest show represents her own transition as she goes from being a traditional plein air painter to an intuitive artist. Richichi has found that, “Intuition allows me to be immersed in a higher power energy, combining what is seen with the unseen. It means trusting that what is put before me is meant to be. And I do trust it because the more I let my intuition speak, the more my art touches people like no other work I’ve done before.”
It’s only appropriate that this unique show is housed in the Ritz Theater, 107 Broadway in Newburgh, a space that has been going through its own transition as a cultural destination for extraordinary talent in the Hudson Valley.
If you have ever looked at nature or marveled at the sky feeling there is more there than what the eye can see, Richichi’s show is a must. This exhibit at the Ritz is open daily from 9 – 5.
