SUMMARY:WNY Literature: Fredonia Zine Fest — A Fresh Start for Spring
DESCRIPTION:Does self-publishing art and writing sound exciting to you? Then\, you are in luck! Join us at Fredonia Zine Fest! \n  \nHosted by the Department of English\, Fredonia’s first-ever Zine Fest (FZF)\, on Saturday\, March 7\, from noon to 4 PM\, in the Williams Center Multi-Purpose Room\, is a celebration of all things “zine.” The event at SUNY Fredonia is free and open to the public. It will conclude with an Open Mic hosted by Writers’ Ring from 4 to 5 PM. \n  \nFor those who may be unfamiliar\, a zine is a self-published short magazine often created from print media clippings\, hand-drawn art\, poems\, short stories and whatever else the author/artist may want to include in their vision.  \n  \nStudents and faculty alike have a deep appreciation for the modest zine. A student from the Senior Writing Capstone\, Lain Pelonero\, says\, “I’m drawn to zines because they allow anybody to share their voice in a creative way that is unique to them. Zines being self-published allows for full creative control of the individual and makes them one of the few remaining forms of subculture that hasn’t been overly commodified or watered down.” Mara Beneway\, event organizer for FZF and a new professor to the English Department\, reflects that\, “​​Zines are radical! Small yet loud! They are not one thing. Or maybe they are? Material artifacts\, I suppose\, of resistance\, curiosity\, and community.” \n  \nEvent participants are encouraged to bring zines to either trade or generally share. There is no defined payment method for vendors\, but cash and Venmo are likely supported.  \n  \nThe schedule for FZF will offer: \n\n12:00-4:00 PM — Students and Local Vendors\n1:00-1:20 PM — Justin Hoock\, “Rock a Little: Music Zine”\n2-2:20 PM — Burning Books: James Coughlin\, “A City of Distant Neighbors”\n3:00-3:20 PM — Amanda Shepp\, Zines at Fredonia: A Retrospective\n\n  \nFollowing FZF will be: \n\n4:00-5:00 PM — Open Mic hosted by Writers’ Ring\n\n  \nAll presenters are current or former Fredonia students\, including current students Justin Hoock (‘28)\, James Coughlin of 2016\, Amanda Shepp of 2010 and (Rachel) Mara Beneway of 2016.  \nFor more information\, please email Professor Rachel “Mara” Beneway at Rachel.Beneway@fredonia.edu.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Theater:  ART's 'An Irish Play' at Compass PAC
DESCRIPTION:American Repertory Theater of WNY presents Dan O’Brien’s pointy stick to the eye dramody\, “An Irish Play”\, March 12th through March 28th at the Compass Performing Arts Factory\, 545 Elmwood Avenue\, Buffalo NY. Tickets are $25 General Admission with additional ticket specials available online by visiting ww.artofwny.org. \nAmateur actors in Cork City\, Ireland\, convene at their local pub-theater for the first read-through of a new Irish play. What no one knows yet is that the play has been written by an American. Over the course of the evening the newly assembled cast debates (in typically Irish fashion) the play’s deficiencies and merits\, who will play which part\, and whether or not to do the play at all. Irish and American cultures come into conflict\, old rivalries reignite\, and secrets are revealed as the group struggles toward an understanding of this enigmatic Irish play. What begins as a comedic examination of Irish theatre and identity becomes by evening’s end a character drama of strong emotional force. \nO’Brien keenly captures the dysfunctional relationships found in our theater world. From the insecurities\, imposter syndrome to showmances and needing a dram or two after a rehearsal or show\, “An Irish Play” has it all. If you are or have been involved in a theater as a producer\, director\, stage manager or actor\, this is a must see piece. \nFeaturing a wicked pissah ensemble of Artie nominated actors Trevor Dugan\, Brooke Goergen\, Rick Lattimer\, Michael Starzynski\, alongside theater veteran Catherine Burkhart\, up-and-coming actors John DellaContrada and Robert Humphrey\, this dark-comedy will take out the green in your beer then replace it with cream & whiskey. Boom! Carbomb\, lads & lasses. Buckle up. \nThurs & Friday 7:30 pm performances\nSaturday 5:00 pm performances
