Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, a girls’ indoor soccer team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors.

A portrait of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for nine girls who just want to score some goals.

Join us in the idyllic forest of Arden, where an unexpected exile transforms into adventure and blossoming love. Filled with disguises, wit and warmth, the beauty of nature and the power of words reign supreme in Shakespeare’s raucously classic tale.

The Rooted Voyageurs’ family-friendly, bare-bones production of As You Like It is abridged and will run 90 minutes. Bring your own seating and a picnic, or pick up food nearby!

The Rooted Voyageurs is a theatre company founded in 2022 by Artistic Director Devante Owens and Zoe Wohlfeld. Their mission is to celebrate community through live performance accessible to everyone. Their company members are primarily from Columbia County, NY, and Berkshire County, MA. All performances are donation-based.

Where can you find history? How about in a cemetery? That’s where you’ll find Buried Stories—the original musical in this year’s musical theatre camp at SLCA.

Join us for an exciting, humorous historical journey as told through the magic of musical theatre. Attendees ages 8 to 13 will stage a musical to be performed at the end of the week—rehearsing scenes and songs, making props and having fun.

Weather permitting, there will be a short field trip to the local historical cemetery, where the characters the play portrays are buried. It’s an easy, walkable distance on sidewalks and a short side road. There will be a permission slip for parents to sign. Contact us if you have questions.

Val Kavanaugh and Sue Frost began running a youth theatre program associated with Circle Theatre Players in 2002. By the time Jim Holmes joined in 2014, the camp was working out of SLCA. Other than a pause during the pandemic, this camp has been ongoing ever since. Over the years, they’ve worked with hundreds of young people, encouraging their enthusiasm and interest in the arts. 

Friends, family and community members are invited to attend the performance on July 17.

Camp is limited to the first 20 to sign up. Everyone who signs up gets a part and a chance to shine!

With Marty Wendell, you get the real deal.

Musically weaned on an old Philco radio, singer-songwriter Marty Wendell grew up whetting an appetite for rockabilly, folk, country, pop, blues and gospel. With a music career spanning the six decades since, his records and shows cover an eclectic mix of influences.

“It’s almost scary how powerful, clean and clear Marty Wendell’s vocals are compared with my idols.” — Don Wilcock, Nippertown

In his music career spanning over 60 years, Marty has shared the stage with artists like Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, The Statler Brothers, The Carter Family, Arlo Guthrie, John Anderson, William Lee Golden, Deborah Allen, T. Graham Brown, The Hager Twins, Sonny James, Bandana, TG Sheppard, Lacy J. Dalton, Faron Young, Connie Smith, Hank Thompson, The Platters, Shirley Alston Reeves and Michael Twitty.

“These days record stores are full of folks trying to sound retro, but Wendell is just being himself—he doesn’t have to go back, ‘cause he never left.” — Dave Malachowski, Daily Freeman

Marty’s shows are engaging and just plain fun for audiences of all ages—and Marty hopes you’ll join him for one.

This free concert is sponsored by Whipple City Square.

Accomplished physicist Sir Claud Amory has constructed a workable formula for one of the deadliest weapons imaginable: the atom bomb. After the formula is mysteriously stolen and Sir Claud is callously murdered, Hercule Poirot arrives to solve the mystery with the help of Captain Hastings and Inspector Japp.

A superbly crafted whodunit with endless red herrings, subplots of infamous spies and an astonishingly prophetic storyline about weapons created through “bombarding the atom,” Black Coffee is one of Christie’s most gripping country-house murder mysteries.

Are you ready to rock? Are you interested in meeting like-minded musicians and learning from professional players? 

We’re excited to bring back Rock Band Camp at SLCA! This two-week, immersive music day camp is designed for ages 12 to 16 and will be led by Mike Iwanos from the Troy Music Academy. Mike is an experienced group leader who will guide students in a collaborative and supportive environment, all while preparing for a live performance on the final day of camp. 

Any professional musician will tell you that playing music in a group setting is a magical experience, and we’re thrilled to offer this opportunity! The camp is open to students who currently play at an early intermediate or advanced level; however, no prior group experience is necessary. 

We welcome guitarists, electric bassists, keyboardists, drummers and vocalists. Please bring your own instrument. We will provide drums and keyboards. 

A performance will be held on Aug. 28. Time and ticket sales to be announced.

If you have questions, please contact lessons@troymusicacademy.com or tanya@slca-ctp.org.
