Adirondack Shakespeare Company Chilling for the Summer

Schroon’s own ADK Shakespeare Company in 2015 added a new element to their children’s programming: Arts & Crafts activities for their young audience members. 

We are saddened to learn that the amazingly talented Adirondack Shakespeare Company, affectionately known as ADK Shakes, has suspended their performances for the 2018 summer.

We pray this is just temporary and the company will be back, bigger and better than ever. In the end it all boils down to finance, as explained in their press release. Which you can red in our Music and Arts Section.

Tango Fusion Sunday in The Park

Today' featured artist in the Schroon Lake Arts Council's Sunday in the Park Concert series will make you want to tango!

Tango Fusion Dance Company, from Saratoga Springs, bring their version of synthesized latin dance, argentine tango, ballet, jazz, modern dance and theater to the Town Park at 12 noon.

The group uniquely combines the styles and backgrounds of the company's dancers, which creates a fun, passionate, innovative movement that is both beautiful and evocative of Tango's cultural origins.

From their official bio:

"Tango Fusion emerged in the dance world as a showcase created by Diane Lachtrupp. Tango Fusion went on to perform at the American Theater for Actors in Manhattan and received rave reviews from The New York Times. The Times reported, " Tango Fusion must be the happiest celebration of that dance to arrive in the city for a very long time...production values, music and imaginative staging were first rate." Tango Fusion's success continued to grow when it was invited to perform in New York City at the Town Hall Tango Fest and the Fifth Annual Tango Congress in Argentina".
