Pat Diamond directs as Timothy Long conducts.

Join Blackfriars Theatre for its 75th Anniversary Season, honoring the legacy of 75 years of ambitious, local, professional theatre in downtown Rochester presenting POTUS. What's It All About? POTUS, Or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, is a searingly funny Broadway hit that follows how seven women of dramatically different backgrounds work to minimize the damage done by male arrogance and political posturing.

The George Eastman Museum is delighted to announce the forthcoming exhibition, Scene at Eastman, which will open through April 20, 2025. The exhibition will comprise a set of photographs and sculptures made in aluminum, glass, concrete, paper, tin, and other materials. The photographs and sculptures in Scene at Eastman (“the works”) describe various acts and instances of apprehension, of address, of attendance to the presence of others. Some objects are original, others appropriated. The viewer’s own private practice of looking is solicited by the works. Viewers are alerted to the presence of cameras within the exhibition space: to enter the galleries is to be observed.
