Auditions | Back To Top | |
|
| Call for Singers, Buffalo Choral Arts Society |
| Tue. Jan 5 to Sun. Dec 5 |
The Buffalo Choral Arts Society (BCAS), under
the direction of Marcia A. Giambrone, will hold
mid-year auditions for its 2009-2010 season:
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
beginning at 6PM
at Sweet Home High School,
Sweet Home Road, Amherst, New York.
Appointments are required and may be
scheduled by calling Nancy Cannizzaro at 847-
6930 (w) or 856-1357 (h). All singers who are
impassioned with the choral art are encouraged
to audition. The group is seeking singers for all
voice parts. Prospective auditioners are asked
to prepare a solo from any published source
which best exemplifies the singer’s range, tone
and interpretive qualities. Pitch-matching,
range exercises and sight reading will make up
the remainder of the audition.
BCAS was founded in 1966 by Robert F. Schulz,
and since then has steadily established itself as
one of Western New York’s premier choruses
and an integral part of Buffalo’s music-loving
community.

Comedy | Back To Top | |
|
| Buffalo ComedySportz |
| Fri. Jul 9 to Sat. Dec 29 |
ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport! (If you've ever seen Whose Line Is It Anyway?, you've got the general idea.) Two teams of actors compete for the biggest laughs while a referee calls the fouls and gets suggestions from you, the audience.
Everything we do is improvised. We don't have scripts or pre-planned scenes. That's why a ComedySportz match wouldn't be possible without your suggestions. Just make sure your suggestions are clean, or the referee could call the "Brown Bag Foul" on you, and you'll end up wearing a paper bag over your head.

| The Cobblestone Criterium Twilight Series offers high-speed bike races in a spectator-friendly downtown setting. |
| Thu. May 6 to Thu. Aug 26 |
The Buffalo Bicycling Club is proud to announce
the Cobblestone Criterium Twilight Series 2010.
The races will feature the premier racing
cyclists in WNY, and will run on Thursday
evenings throughout the summer starting on
May 6. The events are FREE for spectators, and
the organizers promise speed and excitement.
The course starts and finishes on Perry Street in
front of the Elk Terminal and covers 0.5 miles
over paved roads. The tight turns create a
technically difficult course that racers love, and
the sidewalks and open spaces along the route
are ideal for spectators. Unlike long-distance
races, spectators will get to see riders zoom by
dozens of times during each race.
There will also be kids races, which is a unique
event for children 12 & under to ride the same
course as the racers. Participation in the kids
races is FREE. Helmets with chin straps are
required, and a guardian must be present to
sign a release.
Bring a lawn chair or towel and please join us
for a night of racing!

Take a stroll through Downtown St. Catharines,
home to some of the most historical buildings
in the region. Let our tour guides transport you
back to when it was all just beginning, before

corner, the concept for the Welland Canal was
born, a concept that would forever change the
landscape and economy of our city. Find out
about how pigs aided in the discovery of
natural salt springs running through our
downtown, making it a world class health
destination for jet setters from all over North
America.
On the 5th of April - September at 7pm, join
us on a Heritage Walk of the Downtown Core
where these stories, and many more, which
detail how our city became what it is today, are
told in a 90 minute, easy paced walk through
the downtown core.
Tickets are $8.00 per person and group
bookings and private tours are available.
Tours are limited to 20 people and fill up

| Frank Lloyd Wright's Graycliff Estate Summer Twilight Tour |
| Sat. Jul 24 to Fri. Aug 13 |
| The cares of the work-a-day world will drift away as you experience the tranquility of a Summer Twilight at Graycliff. Frank Lloyd Wright imbued his design of Graycliff with what he called “repose”: the simplicity and calm of splendid architecture set amidst verdant acres of grounds on the brim of the lake. Graycliff’s rich history and architectural splendor, set against the serenity of Lake Erie, can be yours for a summer twilight. Listen to the sounds of the water lapping against the shore, the cool breeze rustling the tall old trees, the birds calling each to each. Enjoy a leisurely guided tour, and relax with a glass of wine, coupled with a selection of cheeses and summer fruits as the rest of the world fades away into the twilight. Advance reservations mandatory. Call or email graycliff@verizon.net Ample free parking; gift shop |
