HAMILTON, N.Y. » Arts at the Palace kicks off its 2018 NBT Bank Main Stage Series on Saturday, March 10, with the Kristina Reiko Cooper Trio: Around The World With Love.
The trio features the talents of Or Matias on piano, Satoshi Takeishi on percussion, and cellist virtuoso Kristina Reiko Cooper, who is known for her artistic sense of adventure and passion for all genres of music— both classical and modern.
Following2017’s portrayal of Henry V, NYC’s Shakespeare in the Square returns to Hamilton on April 13-14 for two performances of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Each performance has a maximum of 80 seats available. Founded in 2010, Shakespeare in the Square is a young company dedicated to performing classics.
On Saturday, Sept. 15, come witness the historical, heart-breaking, one woman play “Magdalen” by Erin Layton. “Magdalen” is a fictional exploration of the women and children who passed through the Magdalene Laundries as slave laborers to orders of nuns in mid-20th century Ireland, and the complicity of the church and society that tried to keep their stories hidden. Originally making its debut in New York City at FringeNYC in the summer of 2012, “Magdalen” received rave reviews by the theatre community.
On Saturday, Oct. 13, master illusionist David Caserta will have people levitating, disappearing, and reappearing right before the audience’s eyes. Caserta is one of the top touring illusionists in the country. Suitable for ages 5 and older.
The NBT Bank Main Stage Series will close for the season on Saturday, Nov. 10 with Root Shock. Their unique blend of reggae and heavy drum and bass combined with American roots and soul, and a focus on conscious lyrics result in positive dance music. The band has been delighting crowds across the New York region and beyond, bringing their unique high-energy style spearheaded by the stunning vocals and stage presence of Jessica Brown, who delighted Hamilton at Art at the Palace’s annual fundraiser, Winter at the Palace in December.
