We believe that art and entertainment should be available and accessible to all. As costs of living rise nationwide, we understand that financial barriers may prevent this from being a reality for many in our community.

For over a decade, all standard rental contracts have included language reserving two seats for use by the theater at all events – which originated after the retirement of Bill Woodward to ensure him two seats to any event going forward as gratitude for his service to the organization and community.

In Bill Woodward’s honor, the theater will uphold this language in all standard contracts and utilize these two seats as gifts to the community. Two zero dollar tickets will be available to every event going forward.

After purchasing your ticket to the event you will receive a link to schedule your timeslot.

“La Esmeralda Ballet Variations” are drawn from La Esmeralda, inspired by the novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo.
The story centers on Esmeralda, a kind-hearted gypsy dancer whose beauty and compassion attract the attention of several men, including the hunchbacked bell-ringer Quasimodo. The ballet weaves together drama, romance, and friendship, capturing the emotional intensity, passion, and human vulnerability of the Romantic era.

“Gratitude” represents the Second and Third acts. It blends Contemporary, ballet, jazz, jazz-Broadway, and Latin styles. Each piece explores themes of love, faith, growth, deception, and friendship, expressing gratitude to God for every stage of life

In this spellbinding fantasy debut set in a future where language magic reigns, a young Hawaiian woman must solve a murder to clear her name.
Kea Petrova is dealing with more than her fair share of trouble.
At just twenty-five years old, she’s the youngest of five Hawaiian clan leaders living on the Homestead in outer Los Angeles. Nearly 200 years ago, when a catastrophic flood submerged the Hawaiian islands and unleashed magic into the world, these clans forged a treaty with the city, establishing a new Hawaiian homeland. But that treaty is about to expire.
Kea struggles to keep her small clan afloat, scraping together rent each month through odd jobs and selling her own crafted Hawaiian language spells. While her talent for language magic is her saving grace, she feels like a shadow of those who came before her. Just when she thinks things can’t get any more complicated, the murder of Angelo Reyes–LA’s most prominent Filipino activist–turns her world upside-down.
Angelo was killed by a death spell–something that, due to the properties of each school of language magic, can only exist in Hawaiian. With independent spellsmithing being technically illegal, Kea quickly becomes the prime suspect, known for her spellwork on the Homestead. To clear her name, she must unravel the mystery behind Angelo’s murder and confront LA’s most powerful (and dangerous) players, each wielding their own type of magic. The clock is ticking–can Kea save herself, her clan, and the Homestead before it’s too late?

Released in April 2026.

THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE AT THE BLACKSMITH BAR AT FORT WILLIAM HENRY

For thirty years, Ty Herndon has told pieces of his story through his music. And now, he shares the whole truth with his long awaited memoir, WHAT MATTERED MOST, available everywhere books are sold.

On May 22, you are invited to join him for an intimate performance and conversation  to hear those stories and the songs that made him famous.

Ty’s life has often felt like a classic country ballad: a journey through the neon lights of Nashville, the weight of a secret that “had no place in mainstream country,” and the hard won redemption found after his darkest hours. In this exclusive, one-night-only event, Ty pulls back the curtain on the “career tornado” and the personal “falling and rising” that define his 30-year legacy.

• Hear from him about writing WHAT MATTERED MOST, his brand new memoir, available now wherever books are sold.
• Experience hits like “Living in a Moment,” “Loved Too Much,” and “What Mattered Most” stripped down for the occasion.
• Hear from Ty about his struggles with addiction and mental health and his journey back to wellness.
• Learn the story behind his most personal song, “God or the Gun,” and how he chose a a new chapter.
• Ask your questions about his career from Star Search to the top of the Billboard charts to his fourth quarter comeback that has defied all the odds.

Space is limited to fifty (50) attendees.  Reserve your place today.

JOB is a sleek, riveting psychological thriller that begins as a routine job interview—and quickly becomes something far more dangerous. As two strangers face off behind closed doors, power shifts, truths blur, and every word carries consequences. Clever, suspenseful, and unsettlingly funny, the play probes ambition, control, and the quiet violence of modern work culture, asking who really holds the power in the room—and what it costs to succeed.

Trapped is a laugh-out-loud solo cabaret play inspired by a completely true – and wildly unbelievable – misadventure. When Trevor tries to retrieve his umbrella and accidentally gets locked inside the luggage compartment under a Megabus as it takes off, he does what any reasonable person would do: panic, sing, overshare, and make a viral tik tock. Clever, chaotic, and deeply charming, Trapped turns a travel nightmare into a hilarious and heartfelt celebration of storytelling, survival, and the strange places our minds go when there’s absolutely nowhere else to go. Written and starring NYC Actor and Glens Falls native Trevor Strader (son of Hockey announcer Legend Dave Strader).

Mother. Daughter. Father. Son. is a funny and deeply human new play about what happens when love, memory, faith, and responsibility collide. When an aging mother moves in with her fiercely independent daughter, long-buried tensions surface—alongside unexpected friendships next door that complicate everything. As two families navigate caregiving, loss, identity, and the limits of control, the play asks urgent questions about who gets to decide what’s best for the people we love. By turns laugh-out-loud hilarious and quietly devastating, Mother. Daughter. Father. Son. is an intimate, compassionate portrait of family—chosen and inherited—and the
messy, beautiful work of holding on while learning when to let go.
