MAYORAL ROUNDTABLE
APRIL 9th
The Southern Adirondack REALTORS Inc. (SAR) is excited to announce the upcoming Glens Falls Mayoral Roundtable Discussion, scheduled for Wednesday, April 9th at 7:00 PM at the Charles R. Wood Theater. This vital event will bring together incumbent Mayor Bill Collins and his challenger, 3rd Ward Councilwoman Dr. Diana Palmer, for a live and recorded conversation moderated by Jesse Jackson of LOOK TV.
As part of this roundtable, the candidates will discuss key issues facing the Glens Falls community, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities the city will face over the next four years. The discussion will be open to the public for the live event and through a comprehensive LOOK TV broadcast schedule and social media shares.
A Conversation on Key Issues
The discussion will begin with each candidate offering a brief introduction of themselves and their vision for the city. This roundtable discussion promises a deep dive into critical issues such as downtown parking, city infrastructure, police protection, housing affordability, and quality of life. As both candidates have significant experience in public office, the conversation will reflect their differing perspectives, making this an important and informative opportunity for voters to understand where each stand on the major issues.
Jesse Jackson will guide the conversation with pre-vetted questions sourced from SAR members and the general public, as well as questions from the candidates for each other. The format will allow for a conversational tone, encouraging both candidates to share their insights and discuss their approaches to solving the city’s challenges.
Why Real Estate Matters
Real estate is at the heart of many of the issues being discussed, as it connects to housing affordability, local services, quality of life, and the economic vitality of Glens Falls. The event provides an important opportunity to engage the public on how local government decisions affect homeownership and community development.
SAR invites all community members to attend the event in person. Through this event, SAR hopes to foster informed decision-making in the upcoming primary election.

JUNE 6-8
Starring Scarlet Sagamore, the original canceled Drag performer from the violent protests at Rockwell Falls Public Library that made national headlines last year, this wild ride is a microcosm of the 141 violent Drag protests that marginalize gay youth, pitting fundamentalist homophobes against woke Yoo-Hoos as they wrangle over free speech, religious intolerance, identity and inclusion, responding to hate with humor and hope.

AMERICAN IDIOT
JUNE 27TH-JULY 6TH
Broadway Upstate is excited to present this The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical Green Day’s American Idiot, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before. This high-octane show includes every song from Green Day’s album, American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.
Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny’s attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day’s groundbreaking album to execute the story line. Staring Tyler Vaughn, Raphael Cohen, Aidan Echeandia, Lauren Risley, Kylie Tripp, Ainsley Martell, Peyton VanDerheyden, Christopher Buettner, Xander Jenkins, Hailey Dupuis, Brock Whaley, Rebecca Bammert, Hannah Blakeslee.
