Annie Nelson Pens 'Maven and The Magic Feather'
'Maven and The Magic Feather': an allegory of fear and faith, despair and ultimate hope in God's love. 'Maven and The Magic Feather' is the creation of published author Annie Nelson, a registered nurse and certified childbirth educator for over thirty years who has befriended and trained a multitude of different animals. This story was inspired both by Scripture and by her fascination with ravens, which are mentioned often in the Bible and have a place of reverence in Native American cultures as emissaries to the Great Creator.

BWW Interview: Stephen Ferri of TARZAN at White Plains Performing Arts Center
In this day and age of constant human brutality and tragedy, the story of TARZAN reminds us of what's really important, especially at the holidays, the unconditional love of true family, whether biological or chosen. And although we all 'look' different, under the skin we are just the same. Disney's TARZAN is victorious in bringing to the stage a well-known story with unforgettable melodies and heart-pumping music perfect for the entire family! - Jeremy Quinn, Director

Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real Headline the Lincoln Theatre, 11/2
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Lukas Nelson was raised on his father Willie Nelson's famed Honeysuckle Rose bus. Today, the 21-year-old Nelson is still on the road, but with his own band, Promise of the Real. Joined by drummer Anthony LoGerfo, bassist Corey McCormick, and percussionist Tato Melgar, Promise of the Real is a blend of 'genuine rock ‘n' roll,' as the Oregon Music News notes-part American heart ‘n' soul, Latin tones, blues, funk, and a pinch of country.
