The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame

Prepare to be mesmerized by the power and spectacle of this unforgettable musical. 

Based on the Victor Hugo novel, and the Academy Award nominated score with songs from the brilliant minds behind Broadway’s Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Pippin and Wicked, this sweeping score and powerful story create a night of magical theatre. In 15th century Paris, deformed bellringer Quasimodo yearns to explore life beyond the confines of Notre Dame. When he encounters a beautiful gypsy, his sights are set. However, she becomes the focus of several men and as they vie for her attention, an epic battle erupts begging the question — what is a man and what is a monster? 

Book Club Logo
The Book Club Play at Bristol Valley Theater

A stinging, smart comedy about books and the people who love them. Laughter and literature collide when five friends and their devoted book club become subjects of a documentary film. While the camera rolls and the wine flows, a lot more than literature gets discussed. Truths are told and secrets are revealed as the club members find that there is more to a book - and life - than the cover!

 

The Book Club Play runs July 28 - August 7. For more information and to order tickets, call us at 585-374-6318 or visit our website at bvtnaples.org!

 

Please note: masks and proof of vaccination are required for entry to all events. Thank you for your understanding!

 

Wild Grasses of the Cayuga Lake Region

Wild grasses are everywhere, but many people may find it hard to tell the difference between native, non-native, and invasive species.

This program aims to explain what native grasses are and why they are better for the soil and for local wildlife than non-native varieties.

This program is free. Donations are always appreciated: https://www.cayuganaturecenter.org/donate

Considered one of the most beautiful spots in the United States, the rolling hills, coupled with nature’s own majestic splendor, it’s been deemed the “Gem of the Finger Lakes.” This awe-worthy experience includes a delectable farm to table lunch, a tour of NY Kitchen, historical facts, and lakefront history all sprinkled into one leisurely, fun-filled afternoon!

A global pandemic and climate change are affecting our entire planet. Political chaos, social injustice and war have only added to our personal and collective anxieties. In many ways, we are all living through a time of turmoil and fear, grief and loss. Yet, for some, the past couple of years have also offered unexpected gifts. As a group of artists, many of whom have been working together for 20 years, The Quilt Divas needed to find new ways to connect with each other, and individually found opportunities for introspection, sanctuary, and creativity.

“Looking In, Looking Out, Looking Forward" is our visual interpretation of a period of change and uncertainty. Whether our dominant emotion is hope, courage or some combination of complex emotions, we urge you to join us in looking forward. Please visit our website to learn more about us: www.thequiltdivas.com Note: This is an expanded version of a show that took place in Ithaca, in April.
