Yorktown Stage

Performed by our Yorktown Stage Juniors, ages 12 – 16
The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium. With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral "sucks-yes" on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty. All subject to change.&nbsp;

Lupus is a complex chronic disease that has no cure. It’s an autoimmune disease, which means that your immune system — that usually fights infections — attacks healthy tissue instead. Anyone can develop lupus, but it is most prevalent in women and people of color. Lupus commonly affects the skin, joints, and internal organs like kidneys and lungs, but it can cause inflammation and pain in any part of your body. Since it can affect patients in many different ways, it is usually hard to diagnose and hard to treat.

Lettuce Eat! Cookbook Club Tuesday, May 19 at 5:30 – 6:30 PM

Stir the pot, share the plate, spark a little change 🌱
Join Building Healthy Communities Westchester for a vibrant new Cookbook Club at the Somers Library! For our first gathering, we’re kicking things off potluck-style: choose a recipe from Chloe Flavor: Saucy, Crispy, Spicy, Vegan, prepare it at home, and bring your dish to share. We will have copies of the cookbook at the library to check out and a copy on display at the reference desk. Once you know what you are bringing, please email info@somerslibrary.org to notify us so there are no duplicated dishes.
Together, we’ll enjoy a relaxed tasting experience, swap thoughts on what worked (and what surprised us), and explore how plant-based meals can be simple, satisfying, and full of flavor. Whether you’re plant-curious or plant-devoted, this is a space to learn, connect, and leave inspired.
Come hungry, leave inspired 🌿 Presented by Building Healthy Communities Westchester.
