SUMMARY:Water for Elephants
DESCRIPTION:“Many wonders await audiences in this gorgeously imaginative Broadway musical.” – The New York Times  \nThe critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to “thrilling\, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) in a unique\, spectacle-filled new musical! Hailed as a Critic’s Pick\, The New York Times calls it “stunning\, emotional\, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative.” \nAfter losing what matters most\, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus\, and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self\, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride\, life can begin again at any age. \nTony Award-nominated director Jessica Stone’s “huge\, heart-filling” production (The New York Times) features a book by three-time Tony nominee Rick Elice adapted from Sara Gruen’s novel\, and a soaring score by the acclaimed PigPen Theatre Co. \nSo\, step right up to the “spellbinding entertainment” (Variety) at WATER FOR ELEPHANTS\, “the best new musical on Broadway” (Theatermania).

SUMMARY:Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra – Concert III: Voices of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:This evocative program explores the intersection of literature and music. Debussy’s “La Cathédrale Engloutie” inspired by medieval legend and Albert Le Grand’s writings\, conjures the image of a sunken cathedral rising from the sea. Schwantner’s “New Morning for the World: Daybreak of Freedom” weaves excerpts from Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches into a stirring orchestral tribute. The concert concludes with Corigliano’s “Mr. Tambourine Man\,” a unique and powerful reinterpretation of Bob Dylan’s iconic lyrics. \nDon’t miss the pre-concert talk with Artistic Director/Conductor Glen Cortese at 2 p.m. at Proctors! It’s an excellent way to learn more about the music and an opportunity to ask questions about the performance. All are invited to attend.  \nTickets are $17–$24.

His quick wit\, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim\, high accolades\, and above all\, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV\, starring in feature films\, appearing on a number of national talk shows\, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each city\, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the “Musts” in the US.\nThis past summer\, Aries guest starred in CNN’s “See It Loud” new summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023\, alongside Amanda Seales\, Da’Vinchi\, Debbie Allen\, Deon Cole\, Desus & Mero\, Gabrielle Union\, Jimmie Walker\, Judge Greg Mathis\, Kevin Frazier\, Loni Love\, Lynn Whitfield\, Mo’Nique\, Tatyana Ali\, Tisha Campbell\, Vivica A.

Some of the recurring characters include: Belma Buttons\, Bill Cosby\, Jesse Jackson\, Mike Tyson\, Walter (Crackheads)\, Reggie(Erascist)\, Dollar Bill Montgomery\, Shaquille O’Neal\, The Klumps\, Michael Jackson\, Sisqo\, Evander Holyfield\, El Diablo Negro and more.

The Aries-branded sketch “Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit. Aries has also found success in feature films. At 17\, after being spotted in a comedy club\, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led\nto a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding\, Jr.’s brother in Jerry Maguire. Aries’ fierce momentum paved the way from features to tv. He is presently developing a feature project based on an original character that he created on Mad TV\, as well as a thriller about a young black man immersed in hip-hop culture. Aries has made appearances on talk shows including: Loveline\, Vibe\, Keenen Ivory Wayans\, Soul Train and Late Friday. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox’s The Best Damn Sports Show Period\, where he created some of the show’s funniest characters during his time there.\nAries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events\, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has\, but he in no way intends on stopping there.\n\nVIP Ticket Includes:\nPreferred Seating in the First Four Rows
