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.

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.

Price: $3.50 non-members, $3 members Spaghetti Warehouse
689 N. Clinton St.,
Syracuse
Director: Frank Capra Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, David Manners, Sam Hardy, Beryl Mercer Powerful drama with Stanwyck in top form as an evangelist who brings in big money with her splashy sermons and bogus exhibitions of healing. Things get complicated when she becomes involved with a young man (Manners) who believes her claims. Excellent early Capra.

42nd Street Broadway in Syracuse
Crouse Hinds Concert Theater, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as "We're In The Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," "Dames," "I Only Have Eyes For You," and of course "42nd Street." Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley's 1933 movie, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady. When the star breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star. With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, this sparkling new production will be directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

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.

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.

42nd Street Broadway in Syracuse
Crouse Hinds Concert Theater, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as "We're In The Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," "Dames," "I Only Have Eyes For You," and of course "42nd Street." Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley's 1933 movie, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady. When the star breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star. With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, this sparkling new production will be directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

*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 madcap comedy spoof of Sherlock Holmes' most famous case. Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) turns Arthur Conan Doyle's frightening tale into fast-paced, murderously delightful, comedy thriller as five actors take on a multitude of roles, including the famous sleuth and Dr. Watson. Like The 39 Steps only with a lot more howling!

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.

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.

Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery Syracuse Stage Peter Amster, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,

A madcap comedy spoof of Sherlock Holmes' most famous case. Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) turns Arthur Conan Doyle's frightening tale into fast-paced, murderously delightful, comedy thriller as five actors take on a multitude of roles, including the famous sleuth and Dr. Watson. Like The 39 Steps only with a lot more howling!

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.

Responsive Eyes 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
