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.

| 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.

Powerful, honest and wryly funny, this WNY premiere play traces the little-known roots of many beloved American songs. h/c access, $ | ||

| Neil Simon's famous update of this contemporary classic starts with a group of women friends playing their regular game of Trivial Pursuit. This week, the coterie is meeting at the apartment of Olive Madison, a divorcee who freely admits to being a slob. "I leave a mess when I read a book." Late to arrive is Florence Unger, a stickler for detail who would try the patience of a saint, who has unfortunately just become separated from her husband. As life would have it, the slob and the fuss-budget decide to room together - with hilarious results. Tickets - Adults: $18 Seniors/Students: $16 h/c access, $ | ||
