Upcoming Events:


Sincerely Sondheim with Nicholas Rodriguez
Tribute to Stephen Sondheim
Wednesday, July 15 at 7:30pm

Tickets are $35/$40/$45 (Side/Center/Premium)
*Sponsored by Jeremy Smith

A MUSICAL LOVE LETTER TO THE STEPHEN SONDHEIM

Direct from the Tony Award Winning Revival of “Company”, Nicholas Rodriguez (One Life to Live, Sex and the City 2), celebrates Stephen Sondheim with his brand new concert, SINCERELY, SONDHEIM — a nod to both the lyrical and musical genius of the late composer and his reputation for his renowned penmanship.

​
Pulling from the thousands of handwritten letters to fans and colleagues alike, Rodriguez weaves together stories from Sondheim’s own words and explores the fascinating relationships with legends such as Oscar Hammerstein II, Jerry Herman, Jonathan Larson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and of course his own personal story.
Featuring selections from Company, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and more.

Robin Wall Kimmerer…is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is the author of Bud Finds Her Gift, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants, which has earned Kimmerer wide acclaim. Her first book, Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses, was awarded the John Burroughs Medal for outstanding nature writing, and her other work has appeared in Orion, Whole Terrain, and numerous scientific journals. In 2022, Braiding Sweetgrass was adapted for young adults by Monique Gray Smith. This new edition reinforces how wider ecological understanding stems from listening to the earth’s oldest teachers: the plants around us.

Robin tours widely and has been featured on NPR’s On Being with Krista Tippett and in 2015 addressed the general assembly of the United Nations on the topic of “Healing Our Relationship with Nature.” Kimmerer is a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, whose mission is to create programs which draw on the wisdom of both indigenous and scientific knowledge for our shared goals of sustainability. In 2022 she was named a MacArthur Fellow.
​

As a writer and a scientist, her interests in restoration include not only restoration of ecological communities, but restoration of our relationships to land. She holds a BS in Botany from SUNY ESF, an MS and PhD in Botany from the University of Wisconsin and is the author of numerous scientific papers on plant ecology, bryophyte ecology, traditional knowledge and restoration ecology. She lives on an old farm in upstate New York, tending gardens both cultivated and wild.

Looking Ahead!
