Pardon My French Class – Upcoming Sessions

Bonjour! Pardon My French Class has 2 upcoming sessions – Starting Sept. 8 & 16 !

Join the original French for Beginners class or try out the new class, learning French through short animated films.

Depending on your schedule, you could take one or both classes—they compliment each other perfectly!

The two classes are totally different in content but taught with the same friendly, supportive approach. Both with the goal of boosting your comprehension and confidence in speaking French.

Choose the class that fits your schedule! OR take both for double the practice! Classes are taught at the Amos and Julie Ward Theatre in Jay, Ny.
Classes are filling up quickly, only a few spots left! So if you are thinking about signing up, now’s the time. Visit HERE to register—or email Sam at contact@pardonmyfrenchclass.com with any questions.

Marsh Lights

Saturday, September 13, 8 pm

Marsh Lights provides an “immersion into American roots where there is little equal to the quintet in the Northeast” (Valley Stage Productions). The group’s original music, executed with phenomenal vocals and expressive musicianship, is hard to pigeon-hole but easy to embrace. 

Performing together for over 15 years, and as Marsh Lights since 2023, the band has had time to develop a special rapport and unique sound.

Tannery Pond Center Tannery Talk presents the film

April Morning, with an Introduction by Glenn Pearsall

Sunday, September 14, 2025, 7 pm

 April Morning (1988)  is an adaptation of Howard Fast’s 1961 novel about a teenage boy’s coming of age on the eve of the American Revolution, when the Colonists made their stand on the Lexington green, a great introduction as we begin to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of this nation. It stars Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Urich and Chad Lowe. Its cinematic style is reminiscent of early Disney movies of the 1950s and thus is age appropriate for young children as well.  

 Glenn Pearsall, a noted local historian and author, will give precede the movie with a talk he has titled “The American Revolution: What They Did Not Tell Us in High School”. Did you know, for instance, that George Washington wanted to be an officer in the British Army or that the victory at Yorktown was due to a sea battle? Or about the Tory raids through Johnsburg and Warren County after the battle of Saratoga?
