Through a poignant narrative of sacrifice, identity, and love, the opera delves into the complexities of caregiving and the human experience of memory loss. Newly commissioned from Laura Kaminsky and David Cote in honor of TCO's 75th Anniversary, the production will star Judy Berry as Lili. Sung in English with projected English supertitles.\n_Tri-Cities Opera Center, 315 Clinton St, Binghamton_\n$40 - $60\n\n**🎭Fri. 2/27 - Sun. 3/1****Opening Weekend: The Boys in the Band**\nIt’s 1968, and a group of friends gather for a birthday party and a festive evening full of music, drinks, and a game of “Truth”. But once fueled by alcohol, tensions rise as the night progresses. This fun ”Truth’ game goes terribly wrong and ends up exposing hidden secrets and bitter unresolved issues, leading to confrontations and emotional outbursts. This groundbreaking play premiered Off-Broadway in 1968. A true theatrical game-changer, The Boys in the Band helped spark a revolution by putting gay men’s lives onstage, unapologetically and without judgment, in a world that was not yet willing to accept them fully.\n_Cider Mill Stage, 2 Nanticoke Ave., Endicott_\nFri., Sat. 7:30 pm, Sun. 2:30 pm\n$33\n\n✊🏿**Fri. 2/27****Cultural Crossroads: A Celebration of Black Excellence**\nFeaturing food, live music, and vendors\n _The Bridge Community Center, 143 Baldwin St., Binghamton_\n6 pm - 8 pm\n\n**🎻Sat. 2/28****Binghamton Philharmonic: Pops at the Forum: Canons and Cannons**\nPops is more than just a style of music; it’s a state of mind!
