THE HISTORIC CRESCENT THEATER

Whether they are playing on the main stage at a festival, theatre halls or pubs, Emish brings an energy packed show with witty banter on stage, leaving their fans asking for more. For over a decade, members of Emish have been performing in various professional groups including anything and everything from Traditional Irish, Irish Rock, and Punk to Symphony Orchestras. Individually, they have toured as far as Europe and Japan honing their performing skills – all preparing themselves for the day that they would collectively form Emish. With their versatility and well-seasoned skills, combined with on-stage foot stomping energy and off-stage charisma, Emish has been making fans from one coast to the other. Their music includes “emishified” traditional songs and tunes with their own original compositions that creates a sound described as “Celtic Rock with an edge”.

Although Emish tours regularly throughout the country, they still hold tight to their roots back home and have been honored with being voted the "Best Band of the Hudson Valley" for the past two years.

Synopsis--
ONLY TWO PERFORMANCES!  Mr. Aesop and his colorful collection of factory parts--including Straucey, the Story Starter; Pluto, the Plot Plotter; Wadsworth, the Word Worker; Gretel, the Grammar Guardian; and others--are back again, with more fables and songs to delight and enchant. This sequel to the original Fabulous Fable Factory finds the group still searching for a permanent moral maker. The 2,000-year-old factory, which moves about in time and space, attempts to return to the spot where it landed 30 years ago and reconnect the ensemble with their first temporary moral maker. Many surprises await them, however, when they encounter a much different world than before, introduced to them by a 12-year-old who accidentally discovers the factory. With five new exciting fables and an equal number of lively songs, this delightful new musical will be enjoyed by all ages.

Appropriate for ages 4 and above.  Great for Families!

Synopsis
  

Shakespeare’s classic play filled with street brawls, sword fights, romance and longing! ROMEO AND JULIET is a moving, action-packed  tale of the blind passion of youth and of the hatred and prejudice that leaves the "star-crossed" lovers spiraling toward tragedy and death.
Romeo and Juliet are young teenagers who fall deeply in love but whose families are bitter enemies. As the young lovers grow more and more passionate,  they are caught in a web of family conflicts that  leads only to despair. School Groups are encouraged to see Tri-state Actors Theater's startling production of Shakespeare's  take on teens and parents.
