TGIF

If it's Friday, it must be time to consider what to do this weekend.

From 2 to 4 p.m. tomorrow, there's a closing reception at The Paramount Center for the Arts in Peekskill for "Undertow: Thinking Water," an exhibit of aquatic meditations by Andrew Courtney, Howard Goodman, Ira Leff, Penny Ventura, Joseph Squillante and William C. Maxwell. 914-739-2333, www.paramountcenter.org.

Squillante, who specializes in Hudson River photography, has been a particularly busy beaver, given the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's exploration of the region. You can see his misty, moody black-and-white work — like this shot of Peekskill Bay — at the Field Library in his hometown of Peekskill (through Nov. 30), in "Dutch New York" at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers (through Jan. 10), at the Alan Kotz Gallery in Manhattan through Halloween and at the Albany Institute of History and Art through Jan. 4.

At 8 p.m. tonight and tomorrow and 4 p.m. Sunday, theater buffs can check out Broadway and TV actress Annie McGreevey in Martin Sherman's "Rose" at The Schoolhouse Theater in Croton Falls. Inspired by Sherman's maternal grandmother — who looks back on a life that took her from a shetl in the Ukraine to the Warsaw ghetto to America — "Rose" had a successful run in London and was nominated for an Olivier Award for best new play in 2000.

There are additional performance Oct. 29-Nov. 1. 914-277-8477, www.schoolhousetheater.org

  2. Fine appreciation of the photography show just closed at the Paramount, "Undertow" which was part of an ambitious "Water" series sponsored by Maxwell Fine Arts, including also sculpture, installations, and video projections, in honor of the Hudson Quadricentennial.
