SUMMARY:"A Turning of The Tide"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this immersive\, site-specific original play on the eve of the Battle of Saratoga! \n\n\n\n\nAudiences will step into the Capital Region on the eve of the Battle of Saratoga.

Immigrants and Black Americans confront a fragile promise of freedom. Hessian mercenaries\, far from home\, find their way through the wilderness. Shakers preach a radical gospel of pacifism. And British soldiers face the realities of war. In this production\, the audience does not simply observe the past; they walk through it\, experiencing the human cost\, moral complexity\, and emotional urgency of the moments that shaped the nation. \nThis program is sponsored in part by Albany County’s AMREV 250th commission. Presented with Siena University and NorthEast Theatre Ensemble. \nJune 5th @ 7pm \nJune 6th @ 7pm \nJune 7th @ 2pm \nTickets are available online at Eventbrite!

SUMMARY:Turkey Wing Kitchen Set Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join local broom maker Robin Ziegler in this 3-piece broom making workshop! \n\n\n\n\nIn this workshop you will use traditional broom-making techniques to make a three-piece kitchen set: a Turkey Wing Whisk Broom\, a Pot Scrubber\, and a Cake Tester. All of the items will be made with all-natural broom corn\, your choice of string and either a piece of broom corn seed\, or a piece of red dyed broom corn for decoration to weave into the broom. By making three items\, you will learn to start a broom three times so that you have the knowledge and practice to try it on your own! \nThe Turkey Wing Whisk Broom dates back well over 200 years when all you had were grasses\, twigs and string to fasten a broom together. This broom will use a low-sugar content of sorghum for broom making and a variety of strong nylon string. Your Turkey Wing broom will be great for cleaning car mats\, small rugs\, craft tables\, work benches and more. They are very functional\, make wonderful gifts and are lovely to display. \nThe pot or veggie scrubber can be used to clean stubborn pots OR dirty vegetables. The cake tester is an old-fashioned utensil with straws that you break off and insert into your cake to check for doneness. If it comes out clean\, it’s ready to eat! \nTickets available online at Eventbrite.com!
