Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Jersey Boys Broadway in Syracuse
Landmark Theatre
362 S. Salina St.,
Syracuse
Jersey Boys is the Tony, Grammy, and Olivier Award-winning Best Musical about Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the true story of how four blue-collar kids became one of the greatest successes in pop music history. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide—all before they were 30! Jersey Boys features their hit songs "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Oh What a Night" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." The Jersey Boys creative team comprises two-time Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff, book writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, composer Bob Gaudio, lyricist Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo. Jersey Boys is not recommended for children under the age of 12 due to strong "profane, authentic Jersey" language. The show also involves smoking, strobe lights, gun shots, and has a 2 hour and 35 minute run time (including a 15-minute intermission).

Avenue Q Redhouse Kate Sullivan Gibbens, director
Price: $30 non-members, $25 members Former Redhouse Theater

This humorously irreverent musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment in search of his life's purpose. On his quest, he befriends the zany inhabitants of Avenue Q and, together, the group of misfits muddle through the trials and tribulations of adult life. Featuring a delightfully catchy score, the puppets—and humans—of Avenue Q sing their way through lay-offs, heartbreak, one-night stands, and more! Musical direction by Jacob Carll, choreography by Stephfond Brunson.

Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism. His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Jersey Boys is the Tony, Grammy, and Olivier Award-winning Best Musical about Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the true story of how four blue-collar kids became one of the greatest successes in pop music history. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide—all before they were 30! Jersey Boys features their hit songs "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Oh What a Night" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." The Jersey Boys creative team comprises two-time Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff, book writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, composer Bob Gaudio, lyricist Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo. Jersey Boys is not recommended for children under the age of 12 due to strong "profane, authentic Jersey" language.

Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism. His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

This humorously irreverent musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment in search of his life's purpose. On his quest, he befriends the zany inhabitants of Avenue Q and, together, the group of misfits muddle through the trials and tribulations of adult life. Featuring a delightfully catchy score, the puppets—and humans—of Avenue Q sing their way through lay-offs, heartbreak, one-night stands, and more! Musical direction by Jacob Carll, choreography by Stephfond Brunson.

Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism. His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Happy Traum: Coming of Age in the Folk Revival Folkus Project
Price: $15 regular, $12 members May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Harry Traum's "Coming of Age" show at May Memorial will be a very different experience, with tales of activism, civil disobedience, and friendship punctuating the evening. The audience will be entertained with a combination of song and narrative, aided by vintage photos and music clips related to Traum's participation in the New York Folk revival, including the legendary 1961 "Folk Riot" in which musicians protested for the right to perform in Washington Square Park. His eloquent memories of the history he helped to make will be punctuated with powerful renditions of songs and guitar solos from the "folk era" and beyond. Given the name Harry Peter Traum at birth, Traum instead goes by his nickname "Happy", and that name says it like it is! A more genial and generous soul you'll never meet in the often otherwise world of music. Traum spreads that same emotion and feeling to his decades of listeners and fans, longtime and new. Traum has been performing, recording, and treating as both a pleasure and a profession the music he loves since the 1950s. He entertains with guitar picking and singing blues, old-time country, ballads, contemporary songs, and originals. His finger style acoustic guitar playing is always a highlight. He has performed extensively worldwide and has recorded and/or performed with many top artists, including Bob Dylan, Chris Smither, Maria Muldaur, Eric Andersen, Jerry Jeff Walker and numerous others. Aside from a distinguished solo career, Traum and his late brother Artie played regularly as a duo for more than 40 years. Their first two Capitol albums, "Happy and Artie Traum" and "Double Back" are widely considered to be classics. In 2015 he released his latest CD to rave reviews. It contains songs he loves and is aptly titled "Just For The Love of It."

Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

MG3 Does Gospel Featuring Gabrielle Gorman
Price: Free First Baptist Church of Camillus
23 Main St.,
Camillus
Melissa Gardiner's MG3 organ trio featuring William Gorman on organ and Byron Cage on drums with special guest Gabrielle Gorman on vocals is putting on a special show of all gospel music, but with a jazz flavor. An audience of quite vocal and attentive regulars at a local jazz club in Harlem NYC really helped to shape the sound and concept for Melissa Gardiner's MG3 Jazz Organ Trio. The result is an engaging and soulful musical experience that reflects the energy of a heartfelt and artistic community. The group's mantra is jazz.soul.funk, with influences like Roy Hargrove, Robert Glasper, Trombone Shorty, and Wycliffe Gordon. A singer of great depth, Gabrielle Gorman has a wide range of influences. Although rooted in gospel and jazz, she went on to pursue both an undergrad and graduate degree in musical theatre from University at Buffalo. A Syracuse native, she has been in many local productions and has sang with a variety of different bands, most recently the Skunk City tribute to Michael Jackson. Since moving to New York City, she has been in numerous cabarets and performances.
