Shake on the Lake Theatre performs "The Tempest"
Told through Shake on the Lake's signature fast-paced, simple spectacle-driven style, William Shakespeare's The Tempest features music, live foley, improvisation, puppetry, and audience interaction that will be unlike any Shakespearean play you've experienced!
Set on a remote island beset with monsters, fairies, court jesters, drunken butlers, young lovers, and other supernatural phenomena, the revenge-driven wizard and exiled Duke of Milan, Prospero, uses his powers of magic to create a tempestuous storm that sinks the ship of his enemies, washing them and their company upon the shore of the island.
Will Prospero exact revenge upon his enemies? Or is there greater virtue in forgiveness? Shake on the Lake's 2025 summer touring production sets out to prove "we are such stuff as dreams are made on."
In case of inclement weather, the show will be moved under a tent on the premises.
*Support for Shake on the Lake is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional support by the Arts Council for Wyoming County, GOArt, The Mary Conable & Norman Gayford Charitable Fund, and the Conable Family Foundation, the Ralph C. Wilson Arts & Cultural Initiative, the Wyoming Foundation, all administered through the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo.

In May, downwind crops are very low or just recently planted. No lost rockets in the corn or beans! This is the must attend event at the start of the flying season- recently cut grass flying field, easy recovery, and convenient to civilization in Geneseo or Rochester.
Make your plans to attend the NYPOWER. As always this launch will provide the unique experience that only NYPOWER provides. Friendly great rocketeers, huge mowed field, WWII warbirds in the air and on the ground and a great time for all.
NYPOWER is a Family Friendly relaxed launch where micro-max’s and N powered monsters share the field. Rocket maniacs and families with kids are welcome at NYPOWER. There is really no rocket event quite like it in this regard. Our organization will have you on the pad as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is the event to attend if you want to fly fly fly!
The field is a WWII era grass airfield which is now home to the National Warplane Museum. You have a 1 mile x 1 mile mowed grass recovery area and if you exceed that the staff at NYPOWER will do its best to recover your rocket for you.

GJK Presents an Acoustic Evening with Max Flansburg and Kevin O’Leary
A personal note from Max: My longest standing musical partner is Kevin O’Leary. I met him at a party 12 years ago and instantly fell in love with his humble way of taking someone on a journey through his songs. We started playing open mics together for fun as a duo, and then eventually started a band called Dirty Blanket. There is a special magic to his songwriting and vocal abilities that still inspires me to this day, and it’s one of my greatest joys making music with him. We wanted to try to put together a show just the two of us, still chasing the feeling of signing up for our first open mics, without a care in the world. Please join us at the wonderful Geneseo Riviera Theater on May 10 for a night of acoustic music by the original “dirty & blanket”.
