Thanks to the Trumansburg Education Foundation for their generous grant funding our assistants for this week and Up Country Antiques for providing props for the show!

This musical theatre production is an original adaption of the beautiful and prolific storybook legacy of Dr. Seuss. Born Theodor S. Geisel (1904-1991), Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated forty-four books during his life and he remains the most popular children’s book author in the United States.

Our show was created by Marina Delaney (script) and Samantha Johnson (choreography) specifically for today’s performance, a culmination of our 2019 Musical Theatre Arts Week program at TCFA. The show is a combination of inspirations and rewordings of excerpts and scenes from various Dr. Seuss books. Music is from the 2000 musical, Seussical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.

8-10pm, Advance tickets $17 available HERE, $20 at the door

Woodstock 1869
July 13, 2019 3-6pm
A Benefit for Jacksonville Community Park

The Jacksonville Community Association is hosting Woodstock 1869, a fundraiser to build a restroom for the Jacksonville Community Park. The event, in the style of an old country fair, will feature local musical talents Uncle Joe and the Rosebud Ramblers, and Erich Von Sterrich—The World’s Loudest Tuba Player, and TOiVO. Performances by the Crapstone Royal Shakespeare Company, Mark Twain—Humorist, and magicians Sir Moreland, and Lord Stanley and Lady Michelle will make the afternoon one to never forget. Raven of the East will provide tarot readings in the Sorcerer’s Bower, and local celebrities will be ceremoniously dunked in the 500 gallon dunk tank. A corn hole tournament is sure to get the blood pumping, and cotton candy will delight the tongue. Alexander’s food truck will be present to provide just the thing to sate the wildest of appetites.
The Jacksonville Community Association (JCA) is a not-for-profit organization that has owned and operated the 10 acre park at 3037 Swamp College Rd, Jacksonville, since 1960. The JCA and community members recently worked with Design Connect, a student-run program based in Cornell’s graduate School of Landscape Architecture, to create a master plan for the park. The bathroom was selected by popular demand as the first feature of the plan to be constructed. The JCA partnered with the Town of Ulysses and received a parks and trails improvement grant from Tompkins County to cover part of the cost of building the restroom. Monies raised at Woodstock 1869 will go entirely to
financing additional expenditures on the lavatory—quite literally throwing money down the toilet!

The Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts is proud to announce an all klezmer show on Wednesday, May 29th from 8-10pm featuring Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird. Daniel Kahn concocts furious, tender, electrifying and revolutionary Alienation Klezmer. With the Painted Bird, he presents a variety of passionate songs inspired in part by the struggles of Jewish revolutionaries at the turn of the century, and in part by his own intense desire for a better world. The Painted Bird has brought “Yiddish Punk Cabaret” to rock clubs, festivals and shtetls, from Berlin to Boston, Leningrad to Louisiana. The band has been referred to as “The Yiddish Pogues,”

“Accordion charged with punkrock… the free-spirited attitude of the New York Tzadik circle, cabaret flair, and scraps of Tom Waits.”

– Rolling Stone [Germany]
