From Paris to Syracuse: Street Photography from the Collections of the Everson and Light Work Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
From 19th-century Parisian boulevards to late 20th-century scenes of downtown Syracuse, the images included in this exhibition explore the many diverse aspects of life in the city: busy shopfronts and beach boardwalks, crowded fairs, and quiet parks and streets teeming with or devoid of human presence. Featuring over 60 works by 22 photographers, the exhibition includes examples by such internationally known figures as Eugène Atget, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Robert Doisneau and Garry Winogrand, as well as photographers who have worked locally, such as Toren Beasley, Michael Davis and Bruce Gilden.

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Painters, photographers and ceramists alike have found inspiration in the landscape, drawing on the natural world as a subject, metaphor, and creative force. Taking a generous approach to interpreting the genre, this exhibition brings together an eclectic mix of works from the Everson's collection that highlights landscape's enduring hold on the human imagination. Featured are well-known works by Andrew Wyeth and Ansel Adams as well as little-seen pieces by Robert Arneson, Kenzo Okada, Laura Gilpin and others.

Responsive Eyes Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

CNY Photo Expo Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
We didn't set out to make life difficult for the most recent artist jury at Gallery 54. Still, it turned out to be a challenging assignment as each of three artist/jurors set out to select the images that will be featured at the Gallery 54 Photo Expo. Even though the Expo was only promoted locally, entries came from as far away as New York City, Kentucky, and Montreal. Most of the images have been captured in Central New York, the Finger Lakes and the Adirondacks, while a few of the jury favorites were brought home by photographers visiting other areas of the country. All the seasons are represented and, besides the grand landscapes, both close-up flower photography as well as wildlife photography are well represented.

Unnatural Creatures: Selections from the Light Work Collection Light Work Gallery
Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
Light Work is pleased to present "Unnatural Creatures: Selections from the Light Work Collection." Curated by Erin Carter, "Unnatural Creatures" features Light Work Collection photographers Kanako Sasaki, Laura Aguilar, and Tony Gleaton, among others, whose images explore the strangeness of being alive. "Unnatural Creatures" presents a coming-of-age story with a twist. Primarily focusing on the female body, the exhibition mines themes of gender, aging, and socialization as thought, feeling and perception converge.

Daniel Berrigan poetry and Robert Marx artwork Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The SU Art Galleries presents a selection of poetry in honor of the late poet, playwright, educator, and social activist Daniel Berrigan, alongside original etchings by Robert Ernst Marx (b. 1925). Published in the 1960s, Berrigan's poetry and Marx's art appeared in two portfolios, Encounters and Crime Trial. The first was a series of poems written before the height of Berrigan's activism and Crime Trial has poetry that was written during the time of the "Cantonsville Nine" trial. Reverend Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, was raised in Syracuse, and after his ordination taught at a number of American schools including Le Moyne College, Yale University, and Columbia University. Along with his brother Philip Berrigan, the two gained notoriety during the 1960s antiwar and civil rights movements. In 1968 Daniel Berrigan traveled to North Vietnam with another antiwar activist, Howard Zinn, and aided in the release of three American prisoners of war. This act was highly controversial, and the country was sharply divided on whether their actions were criminal or heroic. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Berrigan and his brother Philip led other anti-draft protesters in the burning of several hundred military draft files in Cantonsville, MD. This led to their trial, conviction, and ultimately a 3-year jail sentence. The "Cantonsville Nine" trial instigated an escalation of protest marches, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience. Later, in 1980, the Berrigans organized the Plowshares movement that saw them break into a Pennsylvania General Electric missile fabrication plant. After hammering nuclear warhead nose cones (swords into plowshares, Isaiah 2:3–4) and pouring blood over documents, files, and other materials, the "Plowshares Eight" were convicted of numerous felony charges. After years of appeals the sentences were changed to time served.

MFA 2016: None the Wiser Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The annual Master of Fine Arts exhibition features 28 artists from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. This year's presenting artists are working in a variety of traditional and multi-disciplinary media including new installations of photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture, ceramics and site-specific experiences. The themes and concepts presented by the artists in this exhibition vary from illustrative mythology to functional pottery. Artists Chongha Peter Lee and Nan Wang utilize Oculus Rift technology to suspend the spectator in a virtual world, while Alessia Cecchet, Jeremy Santiago-Horseman, and Rachel Rosky create physical environs that are entered into and interacted with directly by the viewer. Psychological realities of memory and perception are explored by installations from Brent Erickson, Jacob Riddle and Shou Yu Chen, and are balanced by the reflection and exploration of personal realities of painter Stefan Zoller and photographer Nydia Blas.

Photographers usually venture out into the world to find their subjects. This time, a group of Syracuse area photographers allowed the world to come to them. Their portraits of service providers, delivery people, and sales people, along with brief biographical details, peer inside the intricate connections and communities of the Syracuse area. Curated by Ben Altman and Syracuse photographer Bob Gates, the project challenges us to think about the many ways in which we depend on one another for the necessities and comforts of our daily lives. It also creates a portrait of the home life of each photographer. Exhibiting photographers: Ben Altman, Justine Fenu, Bob Gates, Diana Green, D.J. Igelsrud, Diane Lansing, Marilu Lopez-Fretts, Brenda Mohammad, Michael O'Connor, Sarah Pralle, Steve Reiter, Rosalie Spitzer, Kerry Thurston and Diana Whiting Exhibiting filmmakers: Courtney Rile and Michael Barletta (Daylight Blue Media)

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject. Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

The Art of Bringing Paintings Back to Life Onondaga Historical Association Featuring Susan Blakney, West Lake Conservators
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
How do you repair an old painting when it gets damaged? What can you do if it's so covered in dirty varnish that you have difficulty seeing its details? In conjunction with the current artwork exhibit at the OHA Museum, "A Life in Art: A Highlight of Women Artists in OHA's Collections," Susan Blakney of West Lake Conservators will discuss how the conservation studio addressed these and other problems. In particular, Blakney will discuss how they turned the damaged and dirty "Landscape with a Stag" by Charlotte Brigham—a painting featured in the exhibit—into a beautiful, vibrant painting. Blakney's talk will also discuss several of OHA's other artworks that have been restored over the years.

Ragtime Redhouse Stephen Svoboda, director
Price: $30 Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St.,
Syracuse
Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime tells the powerful tale of a white, upper-middle class family, an African American couple, and an Eastern European immigrant escaping to America with his daughter. All families confront the timeless contradictions of wealth, poverty, freedom, prejudice, hope, and despair in pursuit of the American Dream in early 20th-century America. Just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, the Tony-winning score draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique musical portrait of America, Ragtime is sure to inspire and entertain. Ragtime boasts a cast of professional and local actors featuring Aubrey Panek, Jason Timothy, Justin Dunn, Jim Byrne, David Cotter, Briana Mia, Chaz Rose, Alexandria Parker, Patrick Burns, Alex Bronchetti, Carmen Viviano-Crafts, John Grimsley, Daryl Acevedo, Stephond Brunson, Julia Goretsky, Ben Sheedy, Chad Tallon and Kathy Egloff, as well as an ensemble of over 30.

Cirque du Soleil: OVO
War Memorial at Oncenter
800 S. State St.,
Syracuse
OVO, meaning "egg" in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives. It is love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye — and the feeling is mutual. The cast of OVO is comprised of 50 performing artists from 12 countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. One highlight of OVO is the stunning Flying Act in which a group of scarabs soar high above the stage, from both edges to the middle landing on a platform. Tickets are available in person at the Oncenter Box Office (760 S. State Street), charge by phone (1-800-745-3000), or online via Ticketmaster.com. More information.

The 39 Steps Open Hand Theater
International Mask and Puppet Museum
518 Prospect Ave.,
Syracuse
The 39 Steps is a mix of the Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, and a dash of Monty Python. This fast-paced whodunit is for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale. The play is a 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat. It is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance. Open Hand Theater adds a dash of its own unique style with shadow puppets and technical effects to enhance the mysterious mood of the play.

The Complete History of America (Abridged) Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Sharee Lemos Pierce, director
First Presbyterian Church of Baldwinsville
64 Oswego St.,
Baldwinsville
The Complete History of America (Abridged) was written by Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor (aka The Reduced Shakespeare Company), and shamelessly skewers U.S. history from its very beginnings up to the middle of 20th century. Three actors (Matthew Gordon, Joe Pierce and Josh Taylor) will portray a host of characters from Amerigo Vespucci to George Washington finding and establishing America; to Lewis and Clark's vaudeville routine charting their trek through wilderness; to soldiers fighting in foxholes in "The Great War" (WWI); and exploring the nuances of radio dramas and film noir of the 1940s-'50s. American history as you have never heard nor seen it before and, may never witness it again.

Played at break-neck comic speed, this explosively funny delight rollicks with antic, pell-mell humor complete with slamming doors, revolving beds, and wildly amiss gun shots. Mon Dieu!

We didn't set out to make life difficult for the most recent artist jury at Gallery 54. Still, it turned out to be a challenging assignment as each of three artist/jurors set out to select the images that will be featured at the Gallery 54 Photo Expo. Even though the Expo was only promoted locally, entries came from as far away as New York City, Kentucky, and Montreal. Most of the images have been captured in Central New York, the Finger Lakes and the Adirondacks, while a few of the jury favorites were brought home by photographers visiting other areas of the country. All the seasons are represented and, besides the grand landscapes, both close-up flower photography as well as wildlife photography are well represented.

Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman. Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories. Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Daniel Berrigan poetry and Robert Marx artwork Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The SU Art Galleries presents a selection of poetry in honor of the late poet, playwright, educator, and social activist Daniel Berrigan, alongside original etchings by Robert Ernst Marx (b. 1925). Published in the 1960s, Berrigan's poetry and Marx's art appeared in two portfolios, Encounters and Crime Trial. The first was a series of poems written before the height of Berrigan's activism and Crime Trial has poetry that was written during the time of the "Cantonsville Nine" trial. Reverend Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, was raised in Syracuse, and after his ordination taught at a number of American schools including Le Moyne College, Yale University, and Columbia University. Along with his brother Philip Berrigan, the two gained notoriety during the 1960s antiwar and civil rights movements. In 1968 Daniel Berrigan traveled to North Vietnam with another antiwar activist, Howard Zinn, and aided in the release of three American prisoners of war. This act was highly controversial, and the country was sharply divided on whether their actions were criminal or heroic. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Berrigan and his brother Philip led other anti-draft protesters in the burning of several hundred military draft files in Cantonsville, MD. This led to their trial, conviction, and ultimately a 3-year jail sentence. The "Cantonsville Nine" trial instigated an escalation of protest marches, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience. Later, in 1980, the Berrigans organized the Plowshares movement that saw them break into a Pennsylvania General Electric missile fabrication plant. After hammering nuclear warhead nose cones (swords into plowshares, Isaiah 2:3–4) and pouring blood over documents, files, and other materials, the "Plowshares Eight" were convicted of numerous felony charges. After years of appeals the sentences were changed to time served.

MFA 2016: None the Wiser Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The annual Master of Fine Arts exhibition features 28 artists from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. This year's presenting artists are working in a variety of traditional and multi-disciplinary media including new installations of photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture, ceramics and site-specific experiences. The themes and concepts presented by the artists in this exhibition vary from illustrative mythology to functional pottery. Artists Chongha Peter Lee and Nan Wang utilize Oculus Rift technology to suspend the spectator in a virtual world, while Alessia Cecchet, Jeremy Santiago-Horseman, and Rachel Rosky create physical environs that are entered into and interacted with directly by the viewer. Psychological realities of memory and perception are explored by installations from Brent Erickson, Jacob Riddle and Shou Yu Chen, and are balanced by the reflection and exploration of personal realities of painter Stefan Zoller and photographer Nydia Blas.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

Responsive Eyes Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

Cirque du Soleil: OVO
War Memorial at Oncenter
800 S. State St.,
Syracuse
OVO, meaning "egg" in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives. It is love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye — and the feeling is mutual. The cast of OVO is comprised of 50 performing artists from 12 countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. One highlight of OVO is the stunning Flying Act in which a group of scarabs soar high above the stage, from both edges to the middle landing on a platform. Tickets are available in person at the Oncenter Box Office (760 S. State Street), charge by phone (1-800-745-3000), or online via Ticketmaster.com. More information.

The 39 Steps Open Hand Theater
International Mask and Puppet Museum
518 Prospect Ave.,
Syracuse
The 39 Steps is a mix of the Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, and a dash of Monty Python. This fast-paced whodunit is for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale. The play is a 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat. It is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance. Open Hand Theater adds a dash of its own unique style with shadow puppets and technical effects to enhance the mysterious mood of the play.

We didn't set out to make life difficult for the most recent artist jury at Gallery 54. Still, it turned out to be a challenging assignment as each of three artist/jurors set out to select the images that will be featured at the Gallery 54 Photo Expo. Even though the Expo was only promoted locally, entries came from as far away as New York City, Kentucky, and Montreal. Most of the images have been captured in Central New York, the Finger Lakes and the Adirondacks, while a few of the jury favorites were brought home by photographers visiting other areas of the country. All the seasons are represented and, besides the grand landscapes, both close-up flower photography as well as wildlife photography are well represented.

Ben Altman: Site/Sight Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman. Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories. Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Daniel Berrigan poetry and Robert Marx artwork Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The SU Art Galleries presents a selection of poetry in honor of the late poet, playwright, educator, and social activist Daniel Berrigan, alongside original etchings by Robert Ernst Marx (b. 1925). Published in the 1960s, Berrigan's poetry and Marx's art appeared in two portfolios, Encounters and Crime Trial. The first was a series of poems written before the height of Berrigan's activism and Crime Trial has poetry that was written during the time of the "Cantonsville Nine" trial. Reverend Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, was raised in Syracuse, and after his ordination taught at a number of American schools including Le Moyne College, Yale University, and Columbia University. Along with his brother Philip Berrigan, the two gained notoriety during the 1960s antiwar and civil rights movements. In 1968 Daniel Berrigan traveled to North Vietnam with another antiwar activist, Howard Zinn, and aided in the release of three American prisoners of war. This act was highly controversial, and the country was sharply divided on whether their actions were criminal or heroic. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Berrigan and his brother Philip led other anti-draft protesters in the burning of several hundred military draft files in Cantonsville, MD. This led to their trial, conviction, and ultimately a 3-year jail sentence. The "Cantonsville Nine" trial instigated an escalation of protest marches, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience. Later, in 1980, the Berrigans organized the Plowshares movement that saw them break into a Pennsylvania General Electric missile fabrication plant. After hammering nuclear warhead nose cones (swords into plowshares, Isaiah 2:3–4) and pouring blood over documents, files, and other materials, the "Plowshares Eight" were convicted of numerous felony charges. After years of appeals the sentences were changed to time served.

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject. Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

CNY Photo Expo Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
We didn't set out to make life difficult for the most recent artist jury at Gallery 54. Still, it turned out to be a challenging assignment as each of three artist/jurors set out to select the images that will be featured at the Gallery 54 Photo Expo. Even though the Expo was only promoted locally, entries came from as far away as New York City, Kentucky, and Montreal. Most of the images have been captured in Central New York, the Finger Lakes and the Adirondacks, while a few of the jury favorites were brought home by photographers visiting other areas of the country. All the seasons are represented and, besides the grand landscapes, both close-up flower photography as well as wildlife photography are well represented.

Ben Altman: Site/Sight Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman. Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories. Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Daniel Berrigan poetry and Robert Marx artwork Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The SU Art Galleries presents a selection of poetry in honor of the late poet, playwright, educator, and social activist Daniel Berrigan, alongside original etchings by Robert Ernst Marx (b. 1925). Published in the 1960s, Berrigan's poetry and Marx's art appeared in two portfolios, Encounters and Crime Trial. The first was a series of poems written before the height of Berrigan's activism and Crime Trial has poetry that was written during the time of the "Cantonsville Nine" trial. Reverend Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, was raised in Syracuse, and after his ordination taught at a number of American schools including Le Moyne College, Yale University, and Columbia University. Along with his brother Philip Berrigan, the two gained notoriety during the 1960s antiwar and civil rights movements. In 1968 Daniel Berrigan traveled to North Vietnam with another antiwar activist, Howard Zinn, and aided in the release of three American prisoners of war. This act was highly controversial, and the country was sharply divided on whether their actions were criminal or heroic. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Berrigan and his brother Philip led other anti-draft protesters in the burning of several hundred military draft files in Cantonsville, MD. This led to their trial, conviction, and ultimately a 3-year jail sentence. The "Cantonsville Nine" trial instigated an escalation of protest marches, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience. Later, in 1980, the Berrigans organized the Plowshares movement that saw them break into a Pennsylvania General Electric missile fabrication plant. After hammering nuclear warhead nose cones (swords into plowshares, Isaiah 2:3–4) and pouring blood over documents, files, and other materials, the "Plowshares Eight" were convicted of numerous felony charges. After years of appeals the sentences were changed to time served.

Responsive Eyes Everson Museum of Art

In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

Ragtime Redhouse Stephen Svoboda, director
Price: $30 Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St.,
Syracuse
Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime tells the powerful tale of a white, upper-middle class family, an African American couple, and an Eastern European immigrant escaping to America with his daughter. All families confront the timeless contradictions of wealth, poverty, freedom, prejudice, hope, and despair in pursuit of the American Dream in early 20th-century America. Just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, the Tony-winning score draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique musical portrait of America, Ragtime is sure to inspire and entertain. Ragtime boasts a cast of professional and local actors featuring Aubrey Panek, Jason Timothy, Justin Dunn, Jim Byrne, David Cotter, Briana Mia, Chaz Rose, Alexandria Parker, Patrick Burns, Alex Bronchetti, Carmen Viviano-Crafts, John Grimsley, Daryl Acevedo, Stephond Brunson, Julia Goretsky, Ben Sheedy, Chad Tallon and Kathy Egloff, as well as an ensemble of over 30.

In French playwright Georges Feydeau's famous bedroom farce, an insurance salesman wrongly accused of infidelity by his wife becomes entangled in a web of misunderstanding, intrigue, jealousy, and mistaken identity as ridiculous as it is complicated. Played at break-neck comic speed, this explosively funny delight rollicks with antic, pell-mell humor complete with slamming doors, revolving beds, and wildly amiss gun shots. Mon Dieu!

CNY Photo Expo Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
We didn't set out to make life difficult for the most recent artist jury at Gallery 54. Still, it turned out to be a challenging assignment as each of three artist/jurors set out to select the images that will be featured at the Gallery 54 Photo Expo. Even though the Expo was only promoted locally, entries came from as far away as New York City, Kentucky, and Montreal. Most of the images have been captured in Central New York, the Finger Lakes and the Adirondacks, while a few of the jury favorites were brought home by photographers visiting other areas of the country. All the seasons are represented and, besides the grand landscapes, both close-up flower photography as well as wildlife photography are well represented.

Ben Altman: Site/Sight Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman. Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories. Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Daniel Berrigan poetry and Robert Marx artwork Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The SU Art Galleries presents a selection of poetry in honor of the late poet, playwright, educator, and social activist Daniel Berrigan, alongside original etchings by Robert Ernst Marx (b. 1925). Published in the 1960s, Berrigan's poetry and Marx's art appeared in two portfolios, Encounters and Crime Trial. The first was a series of poems written before the height of Berrigan's activism and Crime Trial has poetry that was written during the time of the "Cantonsville Nine" trial. Reverend Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, was raised in Syracuse, and after his ordination taught at a number of American schools including Le Moyne College, Yale University, and Columbia University. Along with his brother Philip Berrigan, the two gained notoriety during the 1960s antiwar and civil rights movements. In 1968 Daniel Berrigan traveled to North Vietnam with another antiwar activist, Howard Zinn, and aided in the release of three American prisoners of war. This act was highly controversial, and the country was sharply divided on whether their actions were criminal or heroic. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Berrigan and his brother Philip led other anti-draft protesters in the burning of several hundred military draft files in Cantonsville, MD. This led to their trial, conviction, and ultimately a 3-year jail sentence. The "Cantonsville Nine" trial instigated an escalation of protest marches, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience. Later, in 1980, the Berrigans organized the Plowshares movement that saw them break into a Pennsylvania General Electric missile fabrication plant. After hammering nuclear warhead nose cones (swords into plowshares, Isaiah 2:3–4) and pouring blood over documents, files, and other materials, the "Plowshares Eight" were convicted of numerous felony charges. After years of appeals the sentences were changed to time served.

MFA 2016: None the Wiser Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The annual Master of Fine Arts exhibition features 28 artists from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. This year's presenting artists are working in a variety of traditional and multi-disciplinary media including new installations of photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture, ceramics and site-specific experiences. The themes and concepts presented by the artists in this exhibition vary from illustrative mythology to functional pottery. Artists Chongha Peter Lee and Nan Wang utilize Oculus Rift technology to suspend the spectator in a virtual world, while Alessia Cecchet, Jeremy Santiago-Horseman, and Rachel Rosky create physical environs that are entered into and interacted with directly by the viewer. Psychological realities of memory and perception are explored by installations from Brent Erickson, Jacob Riddle and Shou Yu Chen, and are balanced by the reflection and exploration of personal realities of painter Stefan Zoller and photographer Nydia Blas.

Responsive Eyes Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject. Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

*SOLD OUT* Ragtime Redhouse Stephen Svoboda, director
Price: $30 Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St.,
Syracuse
Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime tells the powerful tale of a white, upper-middle class family, an African American couple, and an Eastern European immigrant escaping to America with his daughter. All families confront the timeless contradictions of wealth, poverty, freedom, prejudice, hope, and despair in pursuit of the American Dream in early 20th-century America. Just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, the Tony-winning score draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique musical portrait of America, Ragtime is sure to inspire and entertain. Ragtime boasts a cast of professional and local actors featuring Aubrey Panek, Jason Timothy, Justin Dunn, Jim Byrne, David Cotter, Briana Mia, Chaz Rose, Alexandria Parker, Patrick Burns, Alex Bronchetti, Carmen Viviano-Crafts, John Grimsley, Daryl Acevedo, Stephond Brunson, Julia Goretsky, Ben Sheedy, Chad Tallon and Kathy Egloff, as well as an ensemble of over 30.

In French playwright Georges Feydeau's famous bedroom farce, an insurance salesman wrongly accused of infidelity by his wife becomes entangled in a web of misunderstanding, intrigue, jealousy, and mistaken identity as ridiculous as it is complicated. Played at break-neck comic speed, this explosively funny delight rollicks with antic, pell-mell humor complete with slamming doors, revolving beds, and wildly amiss gun shots. Mon Dieu!

Daniel Berrigan poetry and Robert Marx artwork Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The SU Art Galleries presents a selection of poetry in honor of the late poet, playwright, educator, and social activist Daniel Berrigan, alongside original etchings by Robert Ernst Marx (b. 1925). Published in the 1960s, Berrigan's poetry and Marx's art appeared in two portfolios, Encounters and Crime Trial. The first was a series of poems written before the height of Berrigan's activism and Crime Trial has poetry that was written during the time of the "Cantonsville Nine" trial. Reverend Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, was raised in Syracuse, and after his ordination taught at a number of American schools including Le Moyne College, Yale University, and Columbia University. Along with his brother Philip Berrigan, the two gained notoriety during the 1960s antiwar and civil rights movements. In 1968 Daniel Berrigan traveled to North Vietnam with another antiwar activist, Howard Zinn, and aided in the release of three American prisoners of war. This act was highly controversial, and the country was sharply divided on whether their actions were criminal or heroic. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Berrigan and his brother Philip led other anti-draft protesters in the burning of several hundred military draft files in Cantonsville, MD. This led to their trial, conviction, and ultimately a 3-year jail sentence. The "Cantonsville Nine" trial instigated an escalation of protest marches, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience. Later, in 1980, the Berrigans organized the Plowshares movement that saw them break into a Pennsylvania General Electric missile fabrication plant. After hammering nuclear warhead nose cones (swords into plowshares, Isaiah 2:3–4) and pouring blood over documents, files, and other materials, the "Plowshares Eight" were convicted of numerous felony charges. After years of appeals the sentences were changed to time served.

The annual Master of Fine Arts exhibition features 28 artists from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University.

Responsive Eyes Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject. Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

The 39 Steps Open Hand Theater
International Mask and Puppet Museum
518 Prospect Ave.,
Syracuse
The 39 Steps is a mix of the Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, and a dash of Monty Python. This fast-paced whodunit is for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale. The play is a 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat. It is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance. Open Hand Theater adds a dash of its own unique style with shadow puppets and technical effects to enhance the mysterious mood of the play.

The Complete History of America (Abridged) Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Sharee Lemos Pierce, director
First Presbyterian Church of Baldwinsville
64 Oswego St.,
Baldwinsville
The Complete History of America (Abridged) was written by Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor (aka The Reduced Shakespeare Company), and shamelessly skewers U.S. history from its very beginnings up to the middle of 20th century. Three actors (Matthew Gordon, Joe Pierce and Josh Taylor) will portray a host of characters from Amerigo Vespucci to George Washington finding and establishing America; to Lewis and Clark's vaudeville routine charting their trek through wilderness; to soldiers fighting in foxholes in "The Great War" (WWI); and exploring the nuances of radio dramas and film noir of the 1940s-'50s. American history as you have never heard nor seen it before and, may never witness it again.

*SOLD OUT* Ragtime Redhouse Stephen Svoboda, director
Price: $30 Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St.,
Syracuse
Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime tells the powerful tale of a white, upper-middle class family, an African American couple, and an Eastern European immigrant escaping to America with his daughter. All families confront the timeless contradictions of wealth, poverty, freedom, prejudice, hope, and despair in pursuit of the American Dream in early 20th-century America. Just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, the Tony-winning score draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique musical portrait of America, Ragtime is sure to inspire and entertain. Ragtime boasts a cast of professional and local actors featuring Aubrey Panek, Jason Timothy, Justin Dunn, Jim Byrne, David Cotter, Briana Mia, Chaz Rose, Alexandria Parker, Patrick Burns, Alex Bronchetti, Carmen Viviano-Crafts, John Grimsley, Daryl Acevedo, Stephond Brunson, Julia Goretsky, Ben Sheedy, Chad Tallon and Kathy Egloff, as well as an ensemble of over 30.

Played at break-neck comic speed, this explosively funny delight rollicks with antic, pell-mell humor complete with slamming doors, revolving beds, and wildly amiss gun shots. Mon Dieu!

We didn't set out to make life difficult for the most recent artist jury at Gallery 54. Still, it turned out to be a challenging assignment as each of three artist/jurors set out to select the images that will be featured at the Gallery 54 Photo Expo. Even though the Expo was only promoted locally, entries came from as far away as New York City, Kentucky, and Montreal. Most of the images have been captured in Central New York, the Finger Lakes and the Adirondacks, while a few of the jury favorites were brought home by photographers visiting other areas of the country. All the seasons are represented and, besides the grand landscapes, both close-up flower photography as well as wildlife photography are well represented.

Daniel Berrigan poetry and Robert Marx artwork Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The SU Art Galleries presents a selection of poetry in honor of the late poet, playwright, educator, and social activist Daniel Berrigan, alongside original etchings by Robert Ernst Marx (b. 1925). Published in the 1960s, Berrigan's poetry and Marx's art appeared in two portfolios, Encounters and Crime Trial. The first was a series of poems written before the height of Berrigan's activism and Crime Trial has poetry that was written during the time of the "Cantonsville Nine" trial. Reverend Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, was raised in Syracuse, and after his ordination taught at a number of American schools including Le Moyne College, Yale University, and Columbia University. Along with his brother Philip Berrigan, the two gained notoriety during the 1960s antiwar and civil rights movements. In 1968 Daniel Berrigan traveled to North Vietnam with another antiwar activist, Howard Zinn, and aided in the release of three American prisoners of war. This act was highly controversial, and the country was sharply divided on whether their actions were criminal or heroic. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Berrigan and his brother Philip led other anti-draft protesters in the burning of several hundred military draft files in Cantonsville, MD. This led to their trial, conviction, and ultimately a 3-year jail sentence. The "Cantonsville Nine" trial instigated an escalation of protest marches, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience. Later, in 1980, the Berrigans organized the Plowshares movement that saw them break into a Pennsylvania General Electric missile fabrication plant. After hammering nuclear warhead nose cones (swords into plowshares, Isaiah 2:3–4) and pouring blood over documents, files, and other materials, the "Plowshares Eight" were convicted of numerous felony charges. After years of appeals the sentences were changed to time served.

Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Photographers usually venture out into the world to find their subjects. This time, a group of Syracuse area photographers allowed the world to come to them. Their portraits of service providers, delivery people, and sales people, along with brief biographical details, peer inside the intricate connections and communities of the Syracuse area. Curated by Ben Altman and Syracuse photographer Bob Gates, the project challenges us to think about the many ways in which we depend on one another for the necessities and comforts of our daily lives. It also creates a portrait of the home life of each photographer. Exhibiting photographers: Ben Altman, Justine Fenu, Bob Gates, Diana Green, D.J. Igelsrud, Diane Lansing, Marilu Lopez-Fretts, Brenda Mohammad, Michael O'Connor, Sarah Pralle, Steve Reiter, Rosalie Spitzer, Kerry Thurston and Diana Whiting Exhibiting filmmakers: Courtney Rile and Michael Barletta (Daylight Blue Media)

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject. Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

Saya Woolfalk: ChimaCloud Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
According to multimedia artist Saya Woolfalk, her work "considers the idea that symbolic and ideological systems can be activated and re-imagined through collaboration, imaginative play and masquerade." Woolfalk is perhaps best known for the work she has done relating to her "Empathics" mythos, which imagines the culture of a society of alien beings who are plant-human hybrids.

Talk To Her (2002) ArtRage Gallery
Price: $5 suggested donation ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
A masterful, compassionate work from Pedro Almodovar, one of our most acclaimed modern Spanish filmmakers. This offbeat drama explores the friendship of two men brought together under unusual but strangely similar circumstances; first, almost meeting at a theater, then in actuality at the hospital where they watch over the women they love, both comatose. Even as the story unfolds in flashback and flashforward, the lives of the four are further entwined as they move toward a surprising conclusion.

*SOLD OUT* Ragtime Redhouse Stephen Svoboda, director
Price: $30 Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St.,
Syracuse
Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime tells the powerful tale of a white, upper-middle class family, an African American couple, and an Eastern European immigrant escaping to America with his daughter. All families confront the timeless contradictions of wealth, poverty, freedom, prejudice, hope, and despair in pursuit of the American Dream in early 20th-century America. Just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, the Tony-winning score draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique musical portrait of America, Ragtime is sure to inspire and entertain. Ragtime boasts a cast of professional and local actors featuring Aubrey Panek, Jason Timothy, Justin Dunn, Jim Byrne, David Cotter, Briana Mia, Chaz Rose, Alexandria Parker, Patrick Burns, Alex Bronchetti, Carmen Viviano-Crafts, John Grimsley, Daryl Acevedo, Stephond Brunson, Julia Goretsky, Ben Sheedy, Chad Tallon and Kathy Egloff, as well as an ensemble of over 30.

A Flea in Her Ear Syracuse University Drama Department Stephen Cross, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
In French playwright Georges Feydeau's famous bedroom farce, an insurance salesman wrongly accused of infidelity by his wife becomes entangled in a web of misunderstanding, intrigue, jealousy, and mistaken identity as ridiculous as it is complicated. Played at break-neck comic speed, this explosively funny delight rollicks with antic, pell-mell humor complete with slamming doors, revolving beds, and wildly amiss gun shots. Mon Dieu!

The 39 Steps Open Hand Theater
International Mask and Puppet Museum
518 Prospect Ave.,
Syracuse
The 39 Steps is a mix of the Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, and a dash of Monty Python. This fast-paced whodunit is for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale. The play is a 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat. It is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance. Open Hand Theater adds a dash of its own unique style with shadow puppets and technical effects to enhance the mysterious mood of the play.

The Complete History of America (Abridged) Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Sharee Lemos Pierce, director
First Presbyterian Church of Baldwinsville
64 Oswego St.,
Baldwinsville
The Complete History of America (Abridged) was written by Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor (aka The Reduced Shakespeare Company), and shamelessly skewers U.S. history from its very beginnings up to the middle of 20th century. Three actors (Matthew Gordon, Joe Pierce and Josh Taylor) will portray a host of characters from Amerigo Vespucci to George Washington finding and establishing America; to Lewis and Clark's vaudeville routine charting their trek through wilderness; to soldiers fighting in foxholes in "The Great War" (WWI); and exploring the nuances of radio dramas and film noir of the 1940s-'50s. American history as you have never heard nor seen it before and, may never witness it again.
