The Kirkland Art Center presents "Broken," a rare juried exhibition opening Saturday, March 21. Featuring work from over two dozen, largely regional artists, the show offers a nuanced look at the concept of brokenness from multiple perspectives.

The exhibition, juried by Mary Murray, curator of contemporary art at Munson, utilizes a wide range of media—including painting, photography, and sculpture—to explore how brokenness manifests emotionally, physically, socially, and systemically. While the pieces examine damage and loss, they also highlight themes of revelation, transformation, and resilience.

The SUNY Oswego Theatre and Music Departments present the spring musical: "All Shook Up!"

The year is 1955, and into a square little town rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Inspired by Elvis Presley, this hip-swiveling romantic comedy musical will have you jumping out of your blue suede shoes with classic songs like "Heartbreak Hotel", "Jailhouse Rock", and "Can't Help Falling in Love".

Book by Joe Dipietro, inspired by and featuring the hit songs of Elvis Presley.

Directed by Steven Mazzoccone
