Join us for our second "Beyond the Exhibit" event of the summer - Chris Thomas and His Smoke Dancers - Saturday, August 24, 2 - 3pm at the Charles R. Wood Theater in Glens Falls, NY! Highlighted by lightning footwork that seems to float on air, the Smoke Dance is a traditional social dance of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, a confederated alliance of the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora nations. Thomas is one of this generation's most celebrated smoke dancers, and he and his Smoke Dancers will dazzle you with their talent.

Tickets are $8 per person. Museum members get $1 off! Go to ci.ovationtix.com/35085/production/1205092 to pick up yours today!
