See the critically-acclaimed one-man telling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol! Armed only with a bare stage, a few props, and Dickens’ glorious words, McGarry delivers the perennial holiday classic in a tour de force that has left audiences riveted from Boston to Prague. Joyous, captivating, and witty, A Christmas Carol is a fully staged, full-throated leap into Dickens’ most famous story, delivered with a simplicity that disarms and touches the heart. For the last twelve years, December has found McGarry, lugging his trunk, on the road with A Christmas Carol. He began by touring the Cape and South Shore. By 2018 and 2019, A Christmas Carol was being seen on stages across the European continent, as well as Ireland, and the UK with performances in Innsbruck, Dublin, London, Bath, Basel, Brunico, Dusseldorf, Geneva, Co. Leitrim, and Prague. In 2021, 2022, and 2023 McGarry brought A Christmas Carol home to the U.S. for three sold out seasons.

AUBURN, NY – Law Scholar Alfred E. Piombino will lead a rare, in-person New York State Notary Public Workshop on Thursday, December 11, 2025 from 5:30 until 9:30 p.m. at the Cayuga Community College/SUNY Main Campus, 197 Franklin Street in Auburn.  Parking is free and no car permit is required. Public transit is available at the college. This event is intended for non-lawyers and is the only in-person training event of its kind in Cayuga County.   This acclaimed program provides a comprehensive review of the New York State Notary Public role, duties and responsibilities and delivers effective official state law examination preparation.   “Attendance at this seminar is a must for every prospective Notary Public to properly prepare for the serious legal authority, duties and myriad responsibilities of holding this public officer appointment,” said Alfred E. Piombino, the state course pioneer and faculty.   “Simply taking and passing the 40-question examination, implemented in 1950 by New York Secretary of State Thomas J. Curran, is a good start, but it’s not sufficient preparation by itself to fully understand and execute all the required duties,” said Piombino.   “First appointed as a New York Notary Public in 1981, I easily passed the state law examination because I was a business school student, but I really didn’t fully understand the scope and depth of my duty which inspired my further legal research,” he adds.   “This frustration with a lack of accurate, adequate resources sparked my sense of intellectual curiosity and was the catalyst of forty years of passion for dedicating myself to this niche, legal scholarship, researching, writing and teaching – to not only help other legal practitioners better protect themselves from legal liability, but also to protect the integrity of the civil and criminal court systems,” adds Piombino.   “Notarial legal ineptitude, intentional or unintentional, definitively leads to the insidious denigration of all courts, erodes public confidence and stymies good-faith efforts to effectively and fairly deliver justice to litigants, victims and defendants,” Piombino emphasized.   The New York Secretary of State administers the proctored, written law examination through the Department of State on a regular basis in North Syracuse and throughout New York, but not at the training event. Official examination schedules will be distributed at the briefing. Four sample law examinations and answer keys are provided to every participant as a self-study aid for review after the briefing.   Piombino is a highly acclaimed teacher, court expert witness, prolific book author, past state court official and former State University of New York (SUNY) college business law faculty. He is the renowned scholar on New York Notary Law and Practice and the original curriculum developer and faculty of Notary Public educational programs at scores of public and private colleges throughout New York, including Cayuga Community College, Onondaga Community College, SUNY Oswego, SUNY Jefferson, Herkimer College, and Tompkins-Cortland Community College.   US Citizenship is not required for any applicant, nor is a felony conviction an automatic disqualification from receiving an appointment by the New York Secretary of State.   Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) union member-state employees may submit a CSEA Tuition Benefit Voucher to pay for the full cost of the training course plus the CSEA Certification & Licensure Examination Fee Reimbursement Benefit is also available to reimburse union member state employees for the NYS examination fee.   Space is very limited for this Central New York, special author appearance and pre-registration is required. Two required textbooks (Notary Public Register and Recordkeeping Protocols and Notary Public Handbook: A Guide for New York) are included in the college fee and will be distributed to all registrants on the day of the event. The cost of the half-day program is $125.   For more information or to register on-line, visit the Cayuga Community College website or call Cayuga Community College on 315-294-8841 for more information.  Purchase orders are accepted from government agencies.

Alfred E. Piombino will lead a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Update-Briefing for New York Notary Law on Friday, December 12 from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Cayuga Community College in Auburn.  Car parking is free and no permit is required.  Light refreshments will be served.  Public transportation is available. This highly-acclaimed, in-person CLE provides a comprehensive review of notarial duty and responsibilities.  This practical and fast-paced program reviews recent case decisions, state statutes and rules and regulations, and examines the New York legislative session. It is especially valuable for notaries who self-studied for the state law examination without any formal instruction, attended a “webinar” that failed to address critical issues encountered in notarial practice, or lawyers or state court clerks that received a notary public commission without taking the customary, state law examination. “Attendance at this seminar is a must for every commissioned Notary Public to properly execute the serious legal authority, duties and myriad responsibilities of holding this public officer appointment,” said Alfred E. Piombino, the state course pioneer. This CLE will be invaluable not only to notaries, but to lawyers, paralegals, legal assistants, law students, bankers, real estate title professionals, town and village court judges and clerks who are involved with notarial acts and certificates within documents. “Notarial-legal ineptitude, intentional or unintentional, definitively leads to the insidious denigration of all courts, erodes public confidence and stymies good-faith efforts to effectively and fairly deliver justice to litigants, victims and defendants.  Moreover, improperly drafted documents and defective notarial certificates increase risk for personal and professional legal liability, notes Piombino. Like lawyers, simply taking and passing a state law examination (once), is a good start, but, in and of itself, it’s not sufficient preparation to fully understand and execute all the required duties –  certainly not for a lifetime, without diligent, continuing legal education,” said Piombino. “First appointed as a New York Notary Public in 1981, I easily passed the state law examination because I was a college business school student, but I was humble enough to know that I didn’t fully understand the scope and depth of my duty which inspired my further legal research,” he adds. “This frustration with a lack of accurate, adequate resources sparked my sense of intellectual curiosity and was the catalyst of forty-plus years of passion for this legal scholarship, researching, writing and teaching – to not only help other notaries and legal practitioners better protect themselves from legal liability, but also to protect the integrity of the civil and criminal court systems,” adds Piombino. Piombino is a highly acclaimed teacher, court expert witness, prolific book author, past state court official and former State University of New York (SUNY) college business law faculty.  He is the renowned leading scholar on New York Notary Law and Practice and the original curriculum developer and faculty of Notary Public educational programs at scores of public and private colleges throughout New York, including Cayuga Community College. Piombino was the lead investigator in a landmark, notary investigation in 1988, documenting for the first time widespread non-compliance with myriad legal requirements throughout New York State.  The special investigation report was widely reported in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The New York Law Journal and major news wire services throughout the US.  The special investigation report is also cited in judicial case decisions and articles to this day. Two required textbooks (Notary Public Register and Recordkeeping Protocols and Notary Public Handbook: A Guide for New York) are included in the college tuition fee and will be distributed to all registrants on the day of the event. The cost of the half-day program is $125.  Space is very limited for this Central New York, special author appearance and pre-registration is required.
