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.

Kate Gilmore: Touch like this, Hold like that
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

New York-based artist Kate Gilmore combines humor and physical endurance in her feminist-inspired works to create strikingly memorable performances and videos. Gilmore's performances typically showcase the artist or other women femininely dressed and engaged in monotonous, physically arduous, and often rather inane tasks that call out and disrupt gender stereotypes. For the Everson, Gilmore presents a selection of video performances spanning more than a decade as well as a new temporary sculptural installation created specifically for the Everson Community Plaza. Linking the indoor and outdoor components, performers will activate the public sculpture throughout the summer.

Kindred Beasts: The 2016 Everson Biennial
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson Biennial has been an important platform for contemporary art by New York State artists since its inception in 1974, offering an outlet for creative visual expression and facilitating lively conversations about both what contemporary art is and what it has the power to become. "Kindred Beasts" continues this tradition by presenting a carefully selected group of eight artists whose work focuses on the use of fiber and clay. Each artist interprets the medium in unique and innovative ways, while remaining deeply engaged with tradition and respectful of the past. Representing six counties across the state, the artists are Joe Fyfe, Jeffrey Gibson, Sarah Hewitt, Liz Lurie, Matt Nolen, Sarah Saulson, Bobby Silverman, and Linda Sormin.

Evita
Central New York Playhouse

Price: $22
CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate 15-year-old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at 22, the president's mistress at 24, First Lady at 27, and dead at 33. Eva Peron "saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military" was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, Evita creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself. Lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Music direction by Abel Searor.

Campbell is cheer royalty at Truman High School and her senior year should prove the most cheertastic! However, an unexpected redistricting has forced her to spend her senior year of high school at neighboring, hard-knock Jackson High School. Despite her obstacles, she befriends the dance crew and forms a powerhouse squad for the ultimate competition: Nationals. Bitingly relevant, sprinkled with sass, and inspired by the hit film, Bring it On, the Musical takes audiences on a high flying journey filled with friendship, jealousy, betrayal, and forgiveness.

The production features a cast of professional actors along with child actors from the Redhouse Theatrical Institute.

Evita
Central New York Playhouse

Price: $25
CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate 15-year-old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at 22, the president's mistress at 24, First Lady at 27, and dead at 33. Eva Peron "saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military" was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, Evita creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself. Lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Music direction by Abel Searor.

Cabaret
Syracuse Summer Theater
Garrett Heater, director

BeVard Room, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St., Syracuse

2016 brings us the 50th anniversary of the raucous Kander & Ebb musical Cabaret. Set during the rise of the Nazi party in 1931, a Berlin cabaret hosts the romance of Sally Bowles, a nightclub performer, and Clifford Bradshaw, an American writer. An ever-present Emcee and his troupe of dancers showcase bawdy entertainments amidst the bleakness of pre-war Germany with the songs "Wilkommen," "Don't Tell Mama," and "Cabaret."

Artistic director Garrett Heater, formerly of the award-winning Covey Theatre Company, will play the role of the iconic Emcee. Local favorite Sara Weiler will portray the reckless Sally Bowles, with CJ Roche as Cliff, Kate Huddleston as Fraulein Schneider, Bill Molesky as Herr Schultz, Julia Berger as Fraulein Kost, Nic MacLane as Ernst, and Matt Gordon as Max. Bridget Moriarty music directs with choreography by Jodi Bova-Mele.

New York-based artist Kate Gilmore combines humor and physical endurance in her feminist-inspired works to create strikingly memorable performances and videos. Gilmore's performances typically showcase the artist or other women femininely dressed and engaged in monotonous, physically arduous, and often rather inane tasks that call out and disrupt gender stereotypes. For the Everson, Gilmore presents a selection of video performances spanning more than a decade as well as a new temporary sculptural installation created specifically for the Everson Community Plaza. Linking the indoor and outdoor components, performers will activate the public sculpture throughout the summer.

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.

Kindred Beasts: The 2016 Everson Biennial
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson Biennial has been an important platform for contemporary art by New York State artists since its inception in 1974, offering an outlet for creative visual expression and facilitating lively conversations about both what contemporary art is and what it has the power to become. "Kindred Beasts" continues this tradition by presenting a carefully selected group of eight artists whose work focuses on the use of fiber and clay. Each artist interprets the medium in unique and innovative ways, while remaining deeply engaged with tradition and respectful of the past. Representing six counties across the state, the artists are Joe Fyfe, Jeffrey Gibson, Sarah Hewitt, Liz Lurie, Matt Nolen, Sarah Saulson, Bobby Silverman, and Linda Sormin.

Kate Gilmore: Touch like this, Hold like that
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

New York-based artist Kate Gilmore combines humor and physical endurance in her feminist-inspired works to create strikingly memorable performances and videos. Gilmore's performances typically showcase the artist or other women femininely dressed and engaged in monotonous, physically arduous, and often rather inane tasks that call out and disrupt gender stereotypes. For the Everson, Gilmore presents a selection of video performances spanning more than a decade as well as a new temporary sculptural installation created specifically for the Everson Community Plaza. Linking the indoor and outdoor components, performers will activate the public sculpture throughout the summer.

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.

Bring it On, The Musical
Redhouse
Patrick Burns, director

Price: $25 non-members, $15 members
Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

The energy will be at an all-time high as Redhouse presents Bring it On, the Musical. Overflowing with upbeat music and kicked up dance moves, this musical features an inspirational storyline. Campbell is cheer royalty at Truman High School and her senior year should prove the most cheertastic! However, an unexpected redistricting has forced her to spend her senior year of high school at neighboring, hard-knock Jackson High School. Despite her obstacles, she befriends the dance crew and forms a powerhouse squad for the ultimate competition: Nationals. Bitingly relevant, sprinkled with sass, and inspired by the hit film, Bring it On, the Musical takes audiences on a high flying journey filled with friendship, jealousy, betrayal, and forgiveness.

The production features a cast of professional actors along with child actors from the Redhouse Theatrical Institute.

Evita
Central New York Playhouse

Price: $22
CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate 15-year-old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at 22, the president's mistress at 24, First Lady at 27, and dead at 33. Eva Peron "saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military" was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, Evita creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself. Lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Music direction by Abel Searor.
