SUMMARY:Praise! Project - March 22
DESCRIPTION:Praise! Project\nFriday\, March 22 @ 7PM\nPraise! Project is an original dance theater performance that opens the door into a conversation around sacred bodies\, queerness\, and coming in-to ourselves. As the performers crisscross memories and fantasies of divine encounters\, the piece asks how we reconcile past experiences to make new meaning for the present. \nAt times during the performance\, the audience will be welcomed into call and response movement\, song\, and facilitated dialogue. In this way Praise! is co-created\, immersive\, and always evolving. \nPraise! is presented by Wender Collective and VTDance and is co-created and performed by Vincent E. Thomas and Gabriel Thom Pasculli with Desiré Graham and Malia’Kekia Nicolini. This project was created with the support of NPN Creation Fund\, co-commissioned by Bethany Arts Community\, Sandglass Theater\, and The Baltimore Theater Project. \nThis production is recommended for ages 15 and up. \n \nPERFORMANCE DATES\nFriday\, March 21 at 7PM\nSaturday\, March 22 at 7PM – You’re on this page now! \nLOCATION\nBethany Arts Community\n40 Somerstown Road\, Ossining\, NY 10562 \nTICKETS\n$25 General Admission / $20 Student/Senior\nTicket sales are final\, non-refundable\, and non-transferable. Please ensure you are purchasing tickets for the correct date. \nABOUT THE PERFORMERS\nVincent E Thomas is a Black gay man\, a professional dancer\, and a Professor of Dance at Towson University (MD). Vincent’s dance company\, VTDance\, recently celebrated its 22nd Anniversary in Baltimore. Vincent grew up in Edgefield\, SC where he sang joyfully (and dutifully) in the choir at his Southern Baptist Church\, and yet he felt as though he had to spend much of his adult life washing the church from his soul. \nGabriel Thom Pasculli is a queer\, white-bodied\, second-generation Italian-Irish-American\, who has been working in Chicago and New England as an ensemble theater-maker and is now a Lecturer of Directing and Performance at Union College (NY). Gabriel Thom grew up in the Catholic Church in New Jersey and has spent his adult life seeking the mystical experience he failed to find in the religion of his childhood. \nBoth artists are returning to a time they thought they had left behind. They are returning to the tender questions they developed as young people\, torn between their inner desires and the confounding morality of the communities in which they were raised. With great curiosity\, intimacy\, risk and availability\, Praise! is asking how we reconcile those past experiences and conflicted parts of our younger selves to make new meaning in the present. \nPraise! Project events are co-created\, curated\, and co-facilitated by Desiré Graham\, a New Haven-based artist working in original theatre and musical performance\, and Malia’Kekia Nicolini\, a Massachuesettes-based dancer\, actress\, choreographer\, artistic director\, facilitator\, and arts educator. \nPROJECT HISTORY\nThe lead artists have been developing this work over a series of workshops between 2019 and 2025. The first week-long workshop happened at Dartmouth College in Hanover\, NH in 2019\, and four workshops took place at Art Omi in upstate NY between 2021 and 2025. A work-in-progress excerpt was shared in April of 2023 at Baltimore Theater Project as part of VTDance’s 20th Anniversary Concert. In 2024 The project had a two week residency at Bethany Arts Community in Ossining\, NY and will premiere at Bethany Arts Community in March 2025.

SUMMARY:The Spirit of Truth - March 9 - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Truth\nA Powerful Stage Play Illuminating the Untold Journey of Sojourner Truth\nSunday\, March 9 at 7PM – ALMOST SOLD OUT!\nPlease be advised\, this production is meant for mature audiences only. Suggested for audiences 18+. Includes mature language and themes of sex and violence.   \nStep into the untold story of an icon\, Sojourner Truth. Her name is etched in history as a suffragist\, abolitionist\, and fearless voice for justice. But before she became the legend we know today\, there was a woman finding her way in the shadows of oppression\, deception\, and transformation.  \nSet against the backdrop of the 1830s\, The Spirit of Truth reveals an extraordinary chapter of Sojourner Truth’s life—the years she spent in the village of Sing Sing\, now Ossining. At the heart of the drama lies her entanglement with Zion\, a radical religious cult led by the enigmatic and dangerous Prophet Matthias. Lies\, betrayal\, sex\, adultery\, and even murder swirl in the wake of her search for faith and identity.  \nThrough these trials\, she emerges—not unscathed\, but unbroken—on her path to becoming one of America’s most profound voices for freedom and equality.  \nWitness the rise of a hero shaped by chaos\, tragedy\, and faith. Be transported to a time of fervent rebellion\, where Sojourner Truth discovers the power of her voice\, her mission\, and her unshakable spirit.  \nBecause history isn’t just what we know. It’s the truths we uncover.  \nWritten by acclaimed playwright Samuel Harps. Commissioned by Bethany Arts Community and meticulously researched by historian Joyce Sharrock Cole. Directed by Mel Hancock. Executive Produced by Joyce Sharrock Cole and Bethany Arts Community. Production Assistant is Donna James.  \nStarring Ayanna Roberts as Isabella Van Wagenen (Sojourner Truth)\, Mario Andres as Prophet Matthias\, Jason Summers as Elijah Pierson\, Howard Weintraub as Benjamin Folger\, Joanna Stone as Ann Folger\, Catherine Banks as Catherine Galloway\, Michael Chabler as Gilbert Vale\, Daniel Hirsh as William Nelson\, Rick Levi as Judge Charles Ruggles\, Marisa Lowe as Isabella Laisdell\, Bruce Pearl as Henry Western\, and Katrina Holmes as Katy.  \nPERFORMANCE DATES\nFriday\, February 28 at 7PM \nSaturday\, March 1 at 7PM \nSunday\, March 2 at 7PM\nFriday\, March 7 at 7PM \nSaturday\, March 8 at 7PM \nSunday\, March 9 at 2PM – NEW SHOW ADDED!\nSunday\, March 9 at 7PM – You’re on this page now! \nLOCATION\nBethany Arts Community\n40 Somerstown Road\, Ossining\, NY 10562  \nTICKETS\n$30 General Admission / $25 Student/Senior \nLooking for group rates?

Please ensure you are purchasing tickets for the correct date. \nDoors will open an estimated 25 minutes prior to show time.  \nOut of courtesy for the actors\, crew\, and fellow audience members\, no late seating will be permitted after the show begins.\n——–\nThis groundbreaking production is the result of extensive research into Black history in Ossining\, led by Ossining Village Historian Joyce Sharrock Cole. Her meticulous exploration of local archives brought to light the fascinating intersection of Truth’s life and the unique history of Ossining.  \nThe Spirit of Truth is part of the Bethany Arts Community 2025 Black History & Culture Exhibit: Eyes Wide Open.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! The Spirit of Truth - March 2
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Truth\nA Powerful Stage Play Illuminating the Untold Journey of Sojourner Truth\nSunday\, March 2 at 7PM – SOLD OUT!\nPlease be advised\, this production is meant for mature audiences only. Suggested for audiences 18+. Includes mature language and themes of sex and violence.   \nStep into the untold story of an icon\, Sojourner Truth. Her name is etched in history as a suffragist\, abolitionist\, and fearless voice for justice. But before she became the legend we know today\, there was a woman finding her way in the shadows of oppression\, deception\, and transformation.  \nSet against the backdrop of the 1830s\, The Spirit of Truth reveals an extraordinary chapter of Sojourner Truth’s life—the years she spent in the village of Sing Sing\, now Ossining. At the heart of the drama lies her entanglement with Zion\, a radical religious cult led by the enigmatic and dangerous Prophet Matthias. Lies\, betrayal\, sex\, adultery\, and even murder swirl in the wake of her search for faith and identity.  \nThrough these trials\, she emerges—not unscathed\, but unbroken—on her path to becoming one of America’s most profound voices for freedom and equality.  \nWitness the rise of a hero shaped by chaos\, tragedy\, and faith. Be transported to a time of fervent rebellion\, where Sojourner Truth discovers the power of her voice\, her mission\, and her unshakable spirit.  \nBecause history isn’t just what we know. It’s the truths we uncover.  \nWritten by acclaimed playwright Samuel Harps. Commissioned by Bethany Arts Community and meticulously researched by historian Joyce Sharrock Cole.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - SPARK - July 14 @ 2PM
DESCRIPTION:SPARK\nJuly 12-14\, 2024 – One Weekend Only! \nSPARK is a thought-provoking and inspiring theatrical experience that captures the beauty and the drama of life and transformation. Told through the voices of 10 women\, SPARK is a tapestry of multi-layered personal stories\, movement and soul-stirring music covering identity\, loss\, love and growth. \nCreated by Tami McCarthy (Actor\, Artistic Director\, Writer\, Producer)\, SPARK is a profound journey into the depths of the human experience inspired by Tami’s own life. The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation. Together\, we reveal the malleable nature and complexity of the human experience\, and share in a revelatory moment that we are not alone.\n \nCreated\, Written\, Produced by Tami McCarthy. Creative Team: Directed by: Beth Spitalny\, Serena Norr\, Co-Writer and Co-Producer\, Music by Becki Davis and Lynne Barasch. Featuring Spoken Word Performances by Serena Norr\, Violet Benny\, Luz Michelle\, Monique Ford\, Shelley Molad\, Sarah Sanders\, Lynne Barasch\, Tami McCarthy\, and Shauna Lane; with a special performance by Inez Wilson and special appearance by Medicine Woman + Spiritual Healer Vasiliki Lagoudis. \nShowtimes\nFriday\, July 12\, 2024 8PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 2PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 8PM\nSunday\, July 14\, 2024 2PM \n$35 General Admission/$30 Senior/Student \nTickets for this show are non-refundable.

SUMMARY:Sleep That Knits Up: A Play Reading and Talkback with Artist in Residence Kate Abbruzzese
DESCRIPTION:Kate Abbruzzese will share an excerpt from her full-length play\, “Sleep That Knits Up”\, an exploration of femininity and motherhood through the lens of Macbeth\, followed by a brief talk back. \nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nThis event is being held in-person at Bethany Arts Community. For your safety\, and the safety of our artists and staff\, attendance is being limited and you will be required to wear a mask while at Bethany irrespective of vaccination status. Please read our Covid-19 Safety Statement before your visit. \nBio\nKate Abbruzzese studied drama\, psychology\, and a smattering of literature and poetry at Vassar College\, where she also participated in the selective Vassar Improv and Vassar Shakespeare Troupe. Her senior project\, playing Lady Macbeth in an all-female Macbeth at Vassar’s Powerhouse Theatre\, earned her the Molly Thatcher Kazan Memorial Prize. After her graduation\, she apprenticed at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival and subsequently spent four years acting regionally before gaining acceptance into NYU’s Graduate Acting Program\, where she received her MFA and the Olympia Dukakis and Ron Van Lieu Scholarships. While at NYU\, she wrote and directed her first play\, which was one of four selected to be performed for prospective students during audition weekend. \nKate has acted in 17 of Shakespeare’s works (favorite roles include Desdemona in Othello\, Julia in Two Gentlemen of Verona\, Perdita in The Winter’s Tale and the titular role in Hamlet)\, and written several of her own plays based off of Shakespeare’s characters: Before the Storm\, an exploration of Caliban and Miranda’s relationship prior to The Tempest\, Motley Fool\, an imagining of Rosalind and Orlando’s marriage after As You Like It\, and An Evening With the Macbeths\, a vignette examining the domestic side of Shakespeare’s most infamous couple. The latter two received a place in Red Bull Theatre Company’s Short Play Festival in 2016 and 2019\, respectively. \nAside from acting and writing\, Kate moonlights as an illustrator and cartoonist\, and recently completed the first issue of “The Zero Waste Comic” in partnership with the intrepid Kayla Miller. You can see more of her art on instagram at @theheartoonist or by visiting www.studiozayzay.com. \nArtist’s social media: \nInstagram: @theheartoonist\nFacebook: Kate Abbruzzese\nWebsite: studiozayzay.com \nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.
