Music with Mar. classes: *focus on the total development of the child, and not on musicality *children learn best through play and activation of many senses *provides an environment where the parent and child are comfortable *children can start to understand how to behave in this setting.

| "The Lonesome West" by Martin McDonagh | ||
| Feb 2010 | ||
| Th.-Sat. 7:30PM; Sat. 3PM; Sun. 2PM | ||
| In this dark and savage comedy set in a small and godforsaken Irish village, a pair of warring brothers lives to torment one another. Following their father’s death in a shotgun “accident,” fueled by pride and poteen, their vicious baiting and violent brawls are merciless and unrelenting. The parish priest, alcoholic and suicidal for reasons of his own, entreats the brothers to reconcile as their squabbling spirals into comedy and chaos.

Descended from slaves, Pearl is a living library of forgotten folk songs and looks like Susannah's ticket to fame and fortune. But Pearl has plans of her own, and she uses her songs as currency to negotiate her family's future. Powerful, honest and wryly funny, this WNY premiere play traces the little-known roots of many beloved American songs. h/c access, $ | ||
