Adam Owens from The Robert Lee Scharmann Theatre at SUNY JCC is in the studio to talk about an upcoming virtual production he’s working on focusing on Edgar Allen Poe. The Audition deadline is April 27.

Sponsored by the Shults Auto Group, the Infinity Spring Showcase will take place at Jamestown Community College’s Robert Lee Scharmann Theater. This year, students will be putting on two performances for the community’s enjoyment; a matinee performance at 2 p.m. and an encore performance at 7 p.m.

In addition to an evening of great performances put on by our area youth, Infinity will be offering the chance to win one of two gift baskets. This year’s prizes include $150 cash or $300 in gift certificates to area restaurants. Tickets are five dollars each or four for just ten dollar, and can be purchased at the Infinity Center or from any of Infinity’s board members.

The Spring Showcase is a well-rounded evening of hand picked student performers featuring various music ensembles and soloists, as well as dance and theater performances. You will be amazed at the amount of talent displayed on the stage, and the amount of hard work the students put in to this event.

The cost to attend the Spring Showcase is $10 for adults (seven dollars pre-sale). Children under 18 get in for free. Tickets can be purchased in advance from the Infinity Center, located at 301 East 2^nd Street, Suite 101 in Jamestown. Tickets will also be available for sale at the Scharmann Theater the evening of the event.

Huie is a photo journalist who has created numerous photographic projects documenting the socioeconomic and cultural realities of American society. His most well-known works – Frogtown (1995), Lake Street USA (2000), and The University Avenue Project (2010) – transformed the Twin Cities’ urban areas into public photo galleries, reflecting the everyday lives of thousands of its citizens in the midst of some of the most diverse concentrations of international immigrants in the country.

Huie’s projects have been published in five books, including Looking for Asian America and Lake Street USA, both of which are available at JCC’s Hultquist Library.

According to Huie, his projects create societal mirrors of who we are, seeking to reveal not only what is hidden, but also what is plainly visible and seldom noticed.

As an Asian American, Huie is particularly conscious of the ways that stereotypes shape our understanding of people who look differently than we do, and more generally, how little we can know about another person from the way they look. Huie designed a Chalk Talk workshop in which participants conduct short interviews designed to bridge the distance between one another and where insights are shared through photographs.

The program, free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Katharine Jackson Carnahan Endowment for the Arts and JCC’s college program committee.
