The Park Theater announced its programming for the month of October, kicking off the theater’s 2022/23 season. On the calendar is a broad range of events — from jazz to comedy to film screenings.
The Park Theater opened in 1911 as the first movie theater in the town of Glens Falls, about 2 hours out of Manhattan. In 1937 the theater was converted into a printing plant for the Glens Falls Post, before returning again to its original purpose as a center for performing arts in 1984, when Dr. Harold Kirkpatrick bought the building. After a renovation in 2014, The Park Theater officially reopened as a theater in 2018. The October programming is as follows:
October 13
Caity Gallagher will perform on The Park Theater’s “Live & Local” night. Gallagher will be joined by bassist Ben Woodhul, pianist Dan DeKalb, and percussionist Josh Morris. Gallagher is a folk singer-songwriter with down-to-earth music complemented by acoustic live concert settings. Tickets are $15 and doors open at 6:30 p.m.
October 20
In The Park Theater’s “Third Thursday Jazz” series, a rotating band of regional jazz musicians will be joining Matt Neidbalski on the third Thursday of each month.

The Park Theater will host Summerland Music Society’s production of “Silent Halloween – Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922).” This screening will celebrate 100 years since F.W Murnau released his unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.” “Nosferatu” became a German expressionist classic, inspiring many vampire films that came after. The film is silent, but pianist Cary Brown will improvise a live soundtrack. Beer, wine and cocktails will be available for purchase from Mean Max Brewery. There is a suggested donation of $13 for the show, which starts at 6:30.
