Help Save Pleasant Street Theater

As towns go, Northampton is quite the idyllic Americana wonderland. It wins awards and appreciation, such as the “Great Places in America” award, “Top Arts Destinations” award, and it even made the list for “Ten Great Places to Revel in Cinematic Grandeur”. Ahem.
A major landmark of our town is threatened. Suddenly it faces a serious reckoning by the end of December. The small and lovable Pleasant Street Theater is in need of our support. By spreading the word and making pledges, we can make a difference.

Dandie in the Underworld
Finally! A hat that emulates the soothing sensation of having your head gnawed upon by a fuzzy monster. Ferociously adorable.
You’re welcome.
Different Drummer’s Kitchen
Get these for your grandma, and soon you’ll see her wearing them around town, chopping onions on the bus. For a while, at least, until you start seeing her chopping onions on the back of her new motorcycle.
…Riding in style.
Smith College Museum of Art
Made from recycled cans, wire, and rubber. Difficult to ride. Amusing to master.
