Auditions | Back To Top | |
| Call for Singers, Buffalo Choral Arts Society | ||
| Tue. Jan 5 to Sun. Dec 5 2010 | ||
| January 5, 2009, after 6PM | ||
| 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. h/c access | ||

Comedy | Back To Top | |
| Buffalo ComedySportz | ||
| Fri. Jul 9 to Sat. Dec 29 2012 | ||
| Friday's at 8 pm & Saturdays at 7 pm | ||
| 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. h/c access | ||

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 quickly so be sure to book your reservation soon.

| Sept. 11 9 AM - 3 PM | ||
| Come hear George Mische present and lead a discussion on what must be done within our government, our corporations, and our religious institutions to change our support and collaboration with violence in the world. George Mische, a member of the Catonsville 9 who burned draft files to protest the Vietnam War on May 17, 1968, was a peace movement organizer and a U.S. army veteran. He worked with youth offenders for several years and with Maryknoll Missionaries in Mexico during 1961. He returned to the United States in 1964 because he disagreed with U.S. foreign policy in Latin America. Like several of the other Catonsville Nine members, Mische was motivated by what he had experienced abroad. After the Catonsville action, he remained active in labor and peace organizing and in Democratic party politics. He served for several years on the St. Cloud, Minnesota, City Council and currently works in prison reform. Participating in this discussion will be representatives from the United Church of Christ, the Disciples of Christ, the Society of Friends, Pax Christi, the Latin American Solidarity Commission, the Stop the Violence Coalition of Buffalo and the Sister Karen Klimczk Center. Also present will be Ten Thousand Villages, which provides a marketplace for handicrafts made in over 113 cooperatives in Asia, Africa, and Latin America This event will end with a Memorial Service for those who died in the 9-11 attacks -For more information contact Rev.
