Mon July 11 2 Across - 7pm at VIEW. 2 Across is a comedic play by Jerry Mayer produced by Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.Two strangers, a man and a woman, board a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 a.m. They're -alone in the car, each is married, both are doing the New York Times crossword. She's an organized, sensible psychologist. He's a free-spirited, unemployed ad exec. She is a crossword pro, he always quits. When he tosses his puzzle away, she snaps, "Crosswords are a metaphor for life, those who finish, succeed, those who don't, fail." Now he vows to finish. Why? He's a competitor and she happens to be lovely. This starts an eighty-minute ride described by critics as "Hilarious," "Witty," "Romantic," "Poignant," and "Wonderfully entertaining." Two opposites in an enclosed space, attacking each other's values but also being swayed and intrigued by them. They each have serious life problems that the other helps solve. Their trip is filled with unpredictable, but believable, surprises, even a passionate kissing embrace or two. As the train ride ends, it's obvious each of them has been changed for the better. Tickets are $30/non-members and $20/members for general admission seating. For additional information or to purchase tickets please visit www.ViewArts.org.

Thurs July 21 Ronnie Leigh - 7:30pm at VIEW. Ronnie is an Albany, New York native and six-time SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music Award) winner has also been inducted into the SAMMY Hall of Fame. Ronnie has performed with major Symphony Orchestras, and in theaters, arenas, stadiums, jazz clubs, concert halls, resorts, nightclubs and dance halls nationwide and worldwide. If you can imagine a venue, Ronnie Leigh has probably played it. After 40 years in the music biz, working with everyone from Smokey to Aretha to Ray Charles, and after 30 years of watching this guy, all I can tell you is that he’s one of the finest song stylists working in jazz today. But it doesn't stop there. He's also one of the finest Soul and R & B stylists I've ever heard and an amazing entertainer. The guy's the complete package. And it's not even remotely hype to mention him in the same sentence with the great Lou Rawls and the amazing Donny Hathaway. ~ Frank Malfitano, founder, Syracuse Jazz Fest. Tickets are $35/non-members and $25/members for general admission seating. For additional information or to purchase tickets please visit www.ViewArts.org.
