All My Sons
2023-11-09 19:30 - 21:30 | Road Less Traveled Theater, 465 Main Street, Buffalo, NY, 14205, United States
All My Sons
by Arthur Miller
November 9 – December 10
Directed by Scott Behrend
Starring Sean Cullen*, Lissette DeJesus, Sara Kow-Falcone, Bob Grabowski, Greg Howze, Johnny Rowe, Nick Stevens, Maria Ta and Lisa Vitrano
Run time: 2 hours 15 minutes including an intermission.
Considered one of the true landmark plays of the 20th century, All My Sons is set two years after the end of World War II. Successful businessman Joe Keller reckons with things he did to survive during the conflict, whilst he and his family come to terms with the loss of a son. The play has stood the test of time, lauded as a state of the nation play on its premiere, and becoming a dangerously relevant allegory today. All My Sons will also star, stage and screen actor (and Buffalo native), Buffalo’s Own – Sean Cullen!

Textile Curiosities
Step into a world where art and nature converge in a display of faux-taxidermy moth and butterfly sculptures. Aleah Ford, known as “Moth On The Wall,” invites you to experience the enchanting realm of these ephemeral creatures through her meticulously crafted works. In this exhibition, Aleah’s sculptures come to life using textiles, wire, faux fur, clay, and flocking. The sculptures are presented within shadow boxes, reminiscent of Victorian curiosity cabinets, inviting viewers to step back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. Each box offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of the Lepidoptera.

LESPECIAL W/ GRUB
2023-12-06 19:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
Twenty6 Productions Presents: lespecial w/ Grub at Buffalo Iron Works on Wednesday December 6th, 2023!
Lespecial
lespecial is redefining the term “power trio”. The multi-instrumentalists from Connecticut continue to push the boundaries of what a three-piece band is capable of both live and in the studio ahead of their latest album, “Odd Times”. The band’s signature blend of “heavy future groove” combines headbanging metal riffage and surgical rhythmic precision with bone shaking 808s, sub synths and ethereal vocal stylings for a dance floor that welcomes moshing, dancing and hip swaying alike. Listeners are taken on a journey to the musical netherworld through esoteric soundscapes punctuated by raw, primal power.
Odd Times, lespecial’s darkest and heaviest record to date, is an enigmatic and compelling musical project that explores the ever-changing nature of time amidst isolation. With heavy riffs, tribal drumming, and hints of levity, it’s a captivating journey crafted in collaboration with Havok’s David Sanchez. An intriguing blend of old-school metal and modern djent-inspired riffage awaits in this haunting sonic experience.

Join us for a very special edition of Gardens After Dark as we illuminate our Poinsettia Exhibit like never before! Be mesmerized by the vibrant plant-life under shimmering lights as hundreds of reflective surfaces transport you to an entirely different dimension.
This year’s Poinsettia Exhibit will feature a brand-new installation called Dimensions. These displays feature large reflective orbs and mirrors and explore how reflections of our own world can cause us to view familiar objects and shapes in entirely new ways. We hope the experience of stepping into a conservatory full of new dimensions is as exhilarating to our visitors as it is for our team.
Our mirrored displays offer never before seen angles of our spaces. This opportunity to see our gardens from a brand new perspective is one you wont’ want to miss. Experience this exhibit daily during our Poinsettia Exhibit. The beautiful world of flowers is sure to enchant you this holiday season.
This year the Poinsettia Exhibit will not feature a train display by the Western New York Garden Railway Society. As we reimagine our living museum, our exhibits and plan for our future expansion, we want to be able to bring a garden railway display to our visitors that is full of wonder and enhances our mission of deepening the connection between people and plants. We hope to bring this popular display back in future years in a new and exciting way.
