POTUS is running until April 5, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm, with a captioned performance on Thursday April 3 at 8 pm.
Elmwood Playhouse in Nyack presents a special performance of POTUS, Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive to benefit the Larry D. Gabbard Performing Arts Scholarship.
The Larry D. Gabbard Performing Arts Scholarship is an educational grant that Elmwood awards annually to high school seniors residing in Rockland County who intend to pursue a career in the Performing Arts including Performance, Arts Management, Stage Management, and Technical Design.
Mr. Gabbard was a treasured member of Elmwood Community Playhouse in Nyack and Elmwood honors his memory by presenting this scholarship annually in his name.
Our thanks to Prohibition River for the donation of a $50 dollar gift certificate. Every ticket purchased to the benefit performance is automatically entered, at no additional cost, to win this gift certificate to this amazing bistro on Main Street in Nyack.
At a time when circumstances seemed to belittle the goals of young artists looking to pursue a career in the arts, it is vital that we support them. Every ticket purchased sends a message of encouragement to young Rockland County students in the arts and contributes to the fund for this financial award that helps them on their way. Past recipients have consistently told us that in addition to the financial award, the scholarship validated their goals and boosted their confidence in their path.
Please join us for an evening of great theater for a great cause.

A Fashionable Funeral by Bette Siler

JANET and BRENDA are the Mutt and Jeff of the over-60 set. While JANET prides herself on being a sophisticate, BRENDA is an innocent who believes that all things come to she who waits; that there is redemption, and beyond that, a heavenly hereafter. They enter a funeral home in Woodside, Queens, New York to view the body of their friend, Nancy. They are not entirely pleased with the mortician’s best intentions. A FASHIONABLE FUNERAL is a comedy that explores aging, death and how to avoid a bad hair day in your casket.

Writer’s Block by Ric Siler

Chief and Boggs are a couple of small-time criminals. When Boggs steals a leather bag with a play and a laptop in it, Chief is intrigued. When the playwright shows up at their door, it brings up questions that may be better left unanswered.

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.
