For one night only, Artpark leaves Lewiston, NY, and brings this year’s cast to Shea’s Smith Theatre. Artpark has just completed their first weekend of shows and this upcoming weekend will be their last. This year, they are producing Disney’s Beauty and the Beast with tickets ranging from $25 to $45. Your opportunity to see the cast and hear some of the songs comes this Wednesday, August 20 for just $15.

The show is a benefit cabaret called “Behind the Castle.” Cast members Loraine O’Donnell and Lisa Ludwig will host a night of song and dance while director Randall Kramer plays along on the piano. All proceeds from this event go to Benedict House, whose mission is to provide non-discriminatory residential housing opportunities and supportive services for persons living with AIDS.

If you weren’t sure if you wanted to go see the show, this is a good way to discover the talent of the company members at this year’s Artpark production just before they start their final weekend. It also serves as an excellent benefit to a wonderful organization. If you’d like more information about Benedict House, visit their website.

    Story Image French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe. "I wanted an indie rock sound, something that my generation can click wit …

    Story Image It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung? Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h …
