SUMMARY:Irene: A Ghostly Play
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a dramatic comedy with a ghostly twist! IRENE takes the stage at the Center for the Arts from May 15-17. This two-act play centers around the death of Irene\, the outspoken matriarch of a Polish-American family\, and the one person who can see and hear her after her passing—her favorite grandson\, Sam. \nIn typical Irene fashion\, she’s not shy about giving her family a piece of her mind. From beyond the grave\, Irene attempts to settle her family’s long-standing issues so that she and her beloved husband Bill can finally rest in peace. But can a family as dysfunctional as this one find closure—or will Irene’s meddling leave them more tangled than ever?

SUMMARY:Stagecoaches\, Saloons & the Strange Side of Travel: A Talk with Richard F. Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Before GPS and gas stations\, there were muddy turnpikes\, bumpy coaches\, and taverns where you might hear a ghost story and get a hot meal—if you were lucky. \nJoin author and history-sleuth Richard F. Palmer for a deep dive into the dusty days of stagecoaches and roadside inns in 19th-century Cortland County. With rare photographs\, traveler tales\, and tavern gossip\, Palmer revives a long-lost era when the mail was slow\, the whiskey was strong\, and the roads were… questionable. \nThis fascinating presentation and book signing will explore the quirky and crucial role early transportation played in shaping our region—and all the curious characters it carried along the way. \nPalmer is the author of The Old Line Mail: Stage Coach Days in Upstate New York (North Country Books\, 2022)\, a must-read for fans of forgotten road trips and haunted highways.

SUMMARY:Moonlit Hike
DESCRIPTION:When the full moon rises over Lime Hollow\, the trails take on a life of their own. The trees whisper\, the frogs croak warnings\, and if you listen closely\, you just might hear the skitter of something… not quite squirrel. \nJoin us for a nighttime hike through the forest\, where we’ll tune our senses to the natural—and maybe the unnatural—world around us. It’s salamander season\, so keep your eyes on the trail (and your boots out of the puddles)\, and don’t be surprised if you spot more than just amphibians lurking in the underbrush. \nAnd who knows? The Truxton Beast is said to be most active under the full moon. Could tonight be the night we finally catch a glimpse of those glowing eyes in the dark? 👀 \nThis guided hike is:🧟‍♀️ Moderately strenuous with some elevation (no running from cryptids\, please)⏳ 60–75 minutes long\, depending on how many times we stop to investigate mysterious rustlings💸 Pay what you can (minimum $1); no one turned away \nCome for the moonlight\, stay for the monsters. 🌕

SUMMARY:Slambovian Circus of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Explore the depths of Americana “one trippy tune at a time” with New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams. \nVoted “Best Band” by NY’s Chronogram Magazine for their rootsy\, rockin’ psychedelia\, the Slambovians’ deep connection with audiences and exciting live shows are legendary.
