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.

THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE AT THE STRAND THEATER, HUDSON FALLS NY

By Anthony King and Scott Brown
Directed by Martha Banta

Join wannabe composers Doug and Bud on the most important night of their lives: a “backer’s audition” for real live Broadway producers! Never mind that they’re goofballs with the worst concept for a show ever: a musical about the inventor of the printing press, Johann Gutenberg.

Doug and Bud gamely play Medieval European characters, from Gutenberg’s love interest Helvetica, to a sinister Monk with a cat named Satan who is determined to prevent the villagers from learning to read. Nothing is sacred and everything is silly in this quest for the printed word… and a Broadway contract!

Preview: July 10 at 7:30pm
Opening: July 11 at 7:30pm
Performances: July 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 at 7:30pm; July 13 at 2pm

Come see all your favorite Broadway Upstate actors in this classic musical theater show. Guys and Dolls takes us from the bustle of Times Square, to the dance clubs of Havana, to the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a guy will go when he truly falls in love with a “doll.” Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament”, the romantic “I’ve Never Been in Love Before”, the exuberant “If I Were a Bell”, and the classic “Luck Be a Lady”.

This storytelling presentation is filled with traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) legends that have been told for hundreds of years. These stories teach about the beliefs, customs and history of the Haudenosaunee people.

Storyteller Perry Ground will bring the stories to life through vivid descriptions, his rhythmic voice and a VERY active stage presence. These stories become ‘interactive’ as Perry is known to include audience members in the stories. Elements of traditional Haudenosaunee lifestyle, pieces of historical information and LOTS of humor are woven into each story.

Discussion about the Haudenosaunee culture and the art of storytelling is also part of this program. Not just for children, all listeners (young and old), will find this presentation captivating, highly entertaining yet very educational.

In New York State’s Adirondack Park 46 mountains known as the “High Peaks” rise over 4,000 feet in elevation. The men and women who successfully summit all 46 are known as the “46ers.” The film contains compelling stories, both humorous and heartrending, of individuals who make this journey and encourages stewardship and environmental conservation. What draws these people? The desire to reach the top is fueled by more than casual interest; rather, a force of nature calls them home. Ultimately, love triumphs the physical challenges of hiking-love between the mountains and the people who climb them.

First released in 2015, The 46ers Film captured the heart of the Adirondacks and inspired a generation of hikers. Now, a decade later, it returns to cinemas for a special 10th Anniversary celebration.

This summer, experience the story where it was meant to be seen—on the big screen.

Join Director Blake Cortright at the Charles R. Wood Theater to screen the film and host a brief discussion following.

Enjoy the music of legendary Broadway Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber featuring beloved songs from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, CATS, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, EVITA, SUNSET BOULEVARD and more. The 2025 Seagle Festival Fall Season Artists perform.
