PICNIC
By William Inge | Directed by Ralph Zito | Feb 20 - Mar 1 | Opening Night: Feb 21

An elegant drama from an American master.

“I've always had the feeling, if I just had the chance, I could set the whole world on fire.” As a small Kansas town prepares for the annual Labor Day picnic, handsome young drifter Hal stirs up long dormant feelings amongst a group of repressed women, including Madge, a beauty queen who yearns for another life whenever she hears the train whistle blow. Disappointments, resentments, and rivalries simmer with the late summer swelter in William Inge’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic about the power of attraction and the perils of unfulfilled desire.

Special Exhibit
February 4 - March 6

Controversy is a constant in the realm of comics and video games. Visit the Gannett Gallery for a special exhibition examining these controversies and the communities that thrive regardless.

This year, the Victorian Lady antique shop in Oneida is on a mission to collect and distribute warm winter coats and accessories to help neighbors facing hardship during these difficult times.

“If you would like to help make someone's winter a little warmer, we would be most grateful!” says Ms. Gerri Gray, the shop’s proprietor. “We are holding the coat drive throughout the fall and winter.” She added, “We also plan to host a few food giveaways, so if anyone wishes to donate any canned food (including pet food) and/or other non-perishable items, they can bring them to the shop during our regular business hours or simply leave them on our front porch.”

Donations of new and gently-used coats, scarves, and gloves are being accepted every Monday and Saturday from noon until 5 p.m. and on all other days by appointment only. The shop, which was featured on Lite 98.7, is located at 302 Main Street, Oneida, NY (at the corner of Stone).

This exhibition, on view in Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego from Jan. 27 through Feb. 26, features artwork by individuals exploring concepts of femininity—whether they identify as women, men, trans, or non-binary.

The goal of the collection is to explore various expressions of femininity and what it means to embrace them. This allows for an intersectional approach to feminism, examining how the connections between race, age, gender dysphoria, and queerness impact people across a spectrum of identities.

Exhibition Details:

• Featured Artists: Quinn Alexander Hunter, Robin Tobias, Mads Leach, and John Michael Byrd.
• Location: Tyler Art Gallery, SUNY Oswego.
• Dates: Jan. 27 – Feb. 26.
