With book by James Lapine and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, this take on nursery stories turns convention on its head and offers us an ambivalent Cinderella, a blood-thirsty Little Red Riding Hood and a Prince Charming with an eye for the ladies. They’re all among the cockeyed characters in this fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell–openly swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone’s wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their choices haunt them later with disastrous results. What begins as a lively and irreverent fantasy in the style of “The Princess Bride” becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
Directed by Stephen Miller and Musical Direction by Andrew Stow

This year’s event takes place on Friday, September 11th from 5:00pm until 9:00pm and Saturday, September 12th from 11:30am to 5:00pm.
The event kicks off with the Friday night tradition of wine tasting and jazz music throughout the district. Guests may participate in the wine and beer tasting event by purchasing a souvenir wine glass at one of the four checkpoints throughout the district (Centerway Square, Bottles & Corks, the Radisson Hotel Corning and The Site Cyber Bar and Grill). Cost to participate is $10 and is restricted to individuals age 21 and older. ID is required for all participants.
Visitors may sample a variety of wine and beer from a number of award-winning wineries and breweries from the Finger Lakes Region. In addition to the tastings, guests may enjoy live jazz music in over 30 businesses throughout the district.
Families are encouraged to attend the harvest-themed activities on Saturday. Events include grape stomping in Riverfront Centennial Park, hayrides by Spring Wagon Orchards on the pedestrian bridge, a corn on the cob eating contest in Centerway Square, pumpkin painting for children at Imagine That!, along with other activities.
Many businesses will also participate in special promotions and incentives for shoppers throughout the weekend. Visitors are invited to sample fresh apple cider in businesses throughout the district and vote for their favorite scarecrow in the popular annual business owner scarecrow contest.
With the exception of Friday night’s wine tasting, all events are free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the Centerway Parking Facility at 2 West Tioga Avenue.
Metalheads take note – September will see the first-ever performances from fast rising rockers, Machines of Grace. The shows will include a pair of performances in New York, as well as an additional one in Ohio.
Additionally, the group will appear the same month on several renowned radio shows, including House Of Hair, CNN’s Measure To Measure program, The Chop Shop Radio Show, Tour Bus Radio, and SiriusXM Radio with Eddie Trunk.
Comprised of band members Zak Stevens (vocals, whose credits include Circle II Circle, Savatage), Matt Leff (guitars), Chris Rapoza (bass), and Jeff Plate from Horseheads, NY (drums, whose credits include Trans Siberian Orchestra, Savatage, Metal Church), the Boston-based band manages to both pay tribute to their metal forefathers while also keeping a modern hard rock edge throughout their just-issued self-titled debut.
