The Armonk Players celebrates its 20th anniversary with Thornton Wilder’s Pulitizer Prize-winning play, an irrefutable classic of the American theater and a work of warmth and humanity.

Our Town transports us to Grover’s Corners, a place of secret wishes and disappointments, loves and losses, where the people we encounter are shockingly like the ones in our own lives. Meet Emily and George. They’ve grown up together in their small New England town, falling in love in a surprisingly complicated way. Their lives provide the lens through which the story is told, a story that focuses on a village but encompasses the eternal, finding the world in a grain of sand.

L.O.V.E.R. Baring it All! Runs June 8th – June 25th at the Schoolhouse Theater and Arts Center

by

The Schoolhouse Theater and Arts Center in North Salem presents Lois Robbins’ new play: L.O.V.E.R. (Baring it All!) The play will run weekends beginning Thursday, June 8th through Sunday June 25th. Shows run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday Matinees at 3 p.m. at the Schoolhouse Theater & Arts Center in Croton Falls. Tickets are $ 38 Individuals and $ 35 Seniors.

L.O.V.E.R. (Baring it All!) is the world premier of a new theater work written and performed by Lois Robbins. It’s a comic and poignant riff she describes to us as: A TALE OF LOVE AND LUST FROM A #GROWN-UP WOMAN’S P.O.V. It is fast-paced, sophisticated and very funny-one woman’s journey from childhood to adulthood.

Lois Robbins is a native New Yorker and an accomplished actress. She is best known for her roles on daytime television including One Life to Live, Loving, Ryan’s Hope and All My Children. She was most recently seen in Blowtorch, opposite Billy Baldwin, Kathy Najimy and Armand Assante. Earlier this year, she wrapped production on two independent films; Juvie, alongside Eric Roberts, and Ithaca, directed by Meg Ryan and produced by Playtone (Tom Hanks’ production company.) In Ithaca, she plays the role of Mrs. Beaufrere and co-stars with Sam Shepherd, Melanie Griffith and Meg Ryan. This fall, Ms. Robbins will shoot the independent film The Aspern Papers, in Venice, Italy alongside Vanessa Redgrave, Jolie Richardson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Eric Gelber’s Run on Behalf of Battling Multiple Myeloma

“The last 10 years running to raise awareness and money for the MMRF has changed my life. While this last Central Park run along with this documentary is the culmination of so much, we are not done. There is still no cure and we will keep fighting. I hope this documentary inspires other to get out there and do something for someone else. Together we can accomplish great things.”  -Chappaqua’s Eric Gelber
