A show that demonstrates what it means to have hope and resilience, along with a great sense of humor. Join us as intellectually gifted and hilariously imaginative 13-year-old, Bo-Nita, learns life’s lessons while observing the behaviors of those around her, for better or for worse. Bo-Nita opens at the DENIZEN after its award-winning run this fall at NYC United Solo Festival. At the festival, it was awarded the best in the Storytelling category, a big kudos to this great actor, Terri Weagant, and her wonderful director, Summer Wallace. Actor Terri Weagant performed in DENIZEN’s smash hit, ‘Every Brilliant Thing,’ also a solo performance. The audience loved Terri so much the show was extended. An award winning actor, writer, and director, Terri awakens the 13-year-old within all of us in her performance of Bo-Nita. “You could say that life gets a little weird for precocious 13-year-old Bo-Nita when she finds her ex-stepfather dead on her bedroom floor. With humor, pathos, and a dash of Midwestern magical realism, this wild one-woman, seven character adventure follows a mother and daughter’s elaborate plan to hold their dysfunctional family together.”–The NYC United Solo Festival Storytelling Winner! “Terri Weagant absolutely illuminates the stage…If you want to see some fine acting and come away feeling in awe of what you just witnessed, Bo-Nita is the play for you.”— Broadway World (Full Review) “…a quick-change performance worthy of the late Robin Williams…It takes audiences on a wild ride…”— Your Observer (Full Review) Show times: Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 2:00pmTickets: $5 students, $24 Under 30/Senior, $28 regularPurchase tickets at www.denizentheatre.com or call our box office at (845)303-4136 We are proud to support students with $5 tickets!

Celebrate the life and art of the legendary poet Robert Burns. A much-anticipated tradition in the Hudson Valley. Featuring the recitation of Burns’s poetry, a traditional dinner with the entrance of the haggis, storytelling, songs, and whisky toasts. The Rhinecliff prepares a menu that consists of traditional Scottish dishes like cock-a-leekie soup, “neeps and tatties” (turnips and potatoes mashed together) and lemon curd shortbread, but substitutes a Highland beef stew for what Burns called the “great chieftain o’ the puddin-race.”. The ceremonies include the requisite Parade or Piping-in of the Haggis, along with the traditional Selkirk Grace, the Toast of the Lassies and the Lassies’ Response for a bit of good-natured battle-of-the-sexes humor. Master piper Jeremy Freeman will play the bagpipes storyteller Jonathan Kruk and other Special Guests will relate some incidents from the life of Burns swordsman Neil Roberts will buckle some swash. Participants are encouraged to bring songs, poems and stories by, about and in the spirit of the Bard of Ayrshire. And at the end, everybody joins in singing Auld Lang Syne, in a context where it makes a lot more sense than on New Year’s Eve. Skullsplitter Ale will be on tap, whiskeys will be available for tasting. If you want to indulge freely in Highland spirits without falling off the mountainside on the way home, the Rhinecliff offers a special room rate for guests of Burns Night. The Rhineclif Hotel 4 Grinnell St, Rhinecliff, New York 12574 A Burns Supper Guide from Burns Night: My Supper With RabbieAnd there’s a hand, my trusty fiere! And gie’s a hand o’ thine! And we’ll tak’ a right guid-willie waught, For auld lang syne.The annual celebratory tribute to the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796). Celebrated on, or about the Bard’s birthday, Burns Suppers range from stentoriously formal gatherings of esthetes and scholars to uproariously informal rave-ups of drunkards and louts. Most Burns Suppers (The Rhinecliff’s) fall’s in the middle of this range, and adhere, more or less, to some sort of time honoured form which includes the eating of a traditional Scottish meal, the drinking of Scotch whisky, and the recitation of works by, about, and in the spirit of the Bard.

Queen City 15 Fine Art Gallery presents “Ancestral African Whisperings: The 2020 Codes” in celebration of Black History Month. Ancestral Whisperings come through numerous forms of communications. Often they are heard, felt and seen when we are in nature, meditative states, reading, listening to music, dreaming and viewing art. In the solitude of silence we are able to enter into our Ancient Future/Past where images, symbols, colors, signs, are revealed to us as artists. We then integrate that information into our artistic creative expressions.In this exhibit, the artwork of the four women of African Descent, Josephine Green, Makeba “KEEBS” Rainey, Ingrid Thompson and Rochleigh Z Wholfe express their individual interpretations of those whisperings, stirrings, callings received. As the saying goes, “The Ancestors Live In Your Blood”, we invite you to journey inside these images to “see what you see and enjoy what you discover!” from Rochleigh Z Wholfe M.F.A, artist and co-curator of this exhibition. Talent Davis, a local songwriter will be performing a new work written specifically for the theme of this show during the opening.
