Paramount Hudson Valley Theater

For over 20 straight years, The Bronx Wanderers have been wowing audiences around the globe with a one-of-a-kind, high-energy show rooted in family, music, and storytelling. Made up of a father, his two sons, and their two high school friends, this tight-knit group delivers a diverse mix of hilarious personal stories and a vast repertoire of songs spanning genres and generations. With no focus on a single artist or era, The Bronx Wanderers pride themselves on being one of the only shows able to entertain audiences of all ages in one sweeping musical tour de force. 
The show centers around founder and father Vinny’s career in the record business, blending comedic banter, heartfelt moments, and a nonstop barrage of music’s biggest hits. Featuring songs from artists Vinny has recorded and produced—including Dion, Tony Orlando, The Jersey Boys, and Billy Joel—the performance seamlessly moves from timeless classics to today’s favorites. As Tony Orlando puts it, “I honestly feel a part of their family and you will too. It’s honestly one of my favorite shows of all time.” The stories, laughs, and music together offer a unique look into an American family pursuing a shared passion and succeeding together on stage.
Seemingly pre-destined to form, The Bronx Wanderers have become one of the top shows in Las Vegas, holding a residency for eight years and earning a Top 10 ranking among 256 shows. They have won the Best of Las Vegas Award 12 times and were inducted into the East Coast Music Hall of Fame. Actor Chazz Palminteri sums it up best: “Whenever I’m in New York, I stop at two places. Gino’s Pastry Shop for Cannoli’s and then find out where the Bronx Wanderers are playing.” Their chemistry, energy, and joy prove that after 20 years, they’re still having the time of their lives—and audiences will too when they take the stage at Paramount Hudson Valley Theater on July 11.

Travel back to one of the most influential musical eras in history with Laurel Canyon – A Celebration of the Music of Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young. This captivating acoustic tribute brings the legendary harmonies and songwriting of CSN&amp;Y to life through unforgettable classics like “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” “Teach Your Children,” “Helplessly Hoping,” “Ohio,” and “Woodstock.” More than just a concert, the show revisits the spirit of the Laurel Canyon scene—where the sounds of folk, rock, and harmony helped define a generation. The performance is led by an extraordinary trio of acclaimed musicians: Grammy Award-winning writer and producer Mark Hudson, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Gary Burr, and veteran singer-songwriter Mark Mirando. Hudson’s remarkable career includes co-writing Aerosmith’s Grammy-winning hit “Living on the Edge” and working with legends such as Ringo Starr, Cher, Ozzy Osbourne, and the Scorpions. Burr is one of Nashville’s most celebrated songwriters, with 14 #1 hits recorded by artists including Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, Christina Aguilera, and Kelly Clarkson, while Mirando’s work as a session musician and songwriter includes collaborations with Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, and Badfinger’s Joey Molland. Together, these accomplished artists celebrate the timeless catalog of Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young while also exploring the music of their early bands and solo careers. Their passion for this music is genuine—Gary Burr even experienced the era firsthand as a member of the audience at Woodstock in 1969. The result is an authentic, heartfelt performance that captures the harmonies, storytelling, and cultural spirit of Laurel Canyon and the golden age of singer-songwriters. *As a reminder, no outside food or drink permitted in the venue.

Did you know plastic utensil packets, plastic coffee stirrers, and plastic splash guards are banned in Westchester County? Did you know businesses are only supposed to give out utensils, condiments, and straws if a customer requests them?
The Upon Request Law saves businesses and consumers money by eliminating the purchase and disposal of stuff nobody uses or wants! Few businesses are aware of this county law so compliance isn’t great. Join us as we launch a community initiative to educate businesses and the public about the law. We will be joined by County Legislator Erika Pierce (District 2), who sponsored the legislation which took effect in 2023, and Judith Enck from Beyond Plastics.
Learn how YOU can help this effort and join our special task force meeting on Wednesday July 15th on Zoom from 7:30 to 8:30pm, co-hosted by Westchester Alliance for Sustainable Solutions, Beyond Plastics-Lower Westchester, Sustainable Westchester, Mothers Out Front, Bedford2030, Green Ossining, and Climate Reality Project of Westchester.

Kinosaito Arts Center

This residency project develops an ongoing choreographic work that began with Orihara's 2014 solo Prologue (performed at La MaMa), originally centered on her relationship with her mother and now expanding to explore the broader influence of “mothers”—women she has encountered who have profoundly shaped her life and artistic voice. Tentatively titled Resonance, the project will evolve through a series of workshops, an open rehearsal, and a final performance. A key inspiration for Orihara is her late teacher Nanako Yamada, who transmitted Dalcroze’s “20 gestures,” an early modern dance practice that influenced both Japanese and American pioneers. During the residency, Orihara will share a selection of these gestures with participants, guiding them to develop their own movement vocabularies and collaboratively build new material. An open rehearsal will provide space to experiment and deepen the work, while the culminating performance will present this evolving choreography, incorporating projection and video in collaboration with a videographer, as she continues to investigate the intersection of memory, lineage, and embodied resonance.&nbsp;

In this gorgeously written and authentic novel, Verónica, a Peruvian-American teen with hip dysplasia, auditions to become a mermaid at a Central Florida theme park in the summer before her senior year, all while figuring out her first real boyfriend and how to feel safe in her own body.
Verónica has had many surgeries to manage her disability. The best form of rehabilitation is swimming, so she spends hours in the pool, but not just to strengthen her body.
Her Florida town is home to Mermaid Cove, a kitschy underwater attraction where professional mermaids perform in giant tanks . . . and Verónica wants to audition. But her conservative Peruvian parents would never go for it. And they definitely would never let her be with Alex, her cute new neighbor.
She decides it’s time to seize control of her life, but her plans come crashing down when she learns her parents have been hiding the truth from her—the truth about her own body.

Pugsley Park

Peekskill, NY — A free public performance of Acting Shakespeare: A One-Man Musical will be presented at the recently renovated Pugsley Park on July 25, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, offering Peekskill residents an accessible, high-quality Shakespeare in the Park experience. The performance is being developed in collaboration with the Peekskill Arts Council and Peekskill Parks and Recreation. The event will help showcase Pugsley Park’s potential as a vibrant site for future arts programming while supporting community bonding, civic life, and shared cultural experience.





Acting Shakespeare: A One-Man Musical is an official revival of Sir Ian McKellen’s legendary solo show, created with his personal blessing and reimagined for contemporary audiences through music, humor, and an American lens. Performed by Kamran Saliani, Actor-Manager and Founder of Irvington Shakespeare Company, this 90-minute solo performance blends Shakespeare’s most powerful scenes and soliloquies with storytelling, history, and original musical parodies inspired by Bo Burnham, alongside excerpts from James Shapiro’s Shakespeare in a Divided America.





The project is designed to make Shakespeare accessible, engaging, and relevant for broad public audiences, including people who may be experiencing live Shakespeare for the first time. Rather than presenting the Bard as distant or academic, the show invites audiences to experience Shakespeare as living language that helps us better understand ourselves, our communities, and our world.



Through humor, emotional honesty, and theatrical intimacy, Acting Shakespeare explores how Shakespeare reflects America in all its complexity: the good, the bad, and the beautiful. The performance offers audiences catharsis, reflection, inspiration, and hope. “This project is about bringing professional theater directly into public spaces and making Shakespeare feel alive, immediate, and available to everyone,” said Kamran Saliani. “Pugsley Park is a beautiful setting for this kind of community-centered performance, and we are thrilled to share this work with Peekskill residents.”





Saliani is a Hudson Valley-born Iranian-American theater artist and graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where he earned his BFA in Drama. For his work as an actor-producer, he received a 2023 Westchester Wunderkind Award, and the Westchester County Board of Legislators proclaimed May 25, 2023, “Kamran Saliani Day.”



Acting Shakespeare: A One-Man Musical is a high-impact, low-footprint project especially well suited for parks, libraries, schools, and small theaters. Its portable format allows professional live theater to be presented affordably and flexibly in public spaces.

Joining them is Firefall, the Boulder, Colorado–formed country rock group whose signature blend of melody and storytelling produced radio staples including “You Are the Woman,” “Just Remember I Love You,” “Strange Way,” “Cinderella,” “Headed for a Fall,” and “Staying with It.” More than 50 years after their debut, founder Jock Bartley and the band remain a dynamic touring act, delivering the warm, harmony-rich sound that made them favorites on FM radio and beyond. Together, these two legendary bands bring an evening filled with classic hits, rich musicianship, and the unmistakable spirit of the 1970s rock era.
