The fun is here! Come out and ride the rides and enjoy the games at the upcoming carnival at the Kings Park Plaza at 58 Indian Head Road, Kings Park, NY in the Key Foods/TJ Maxx Shopping Center. The carnival opens Wednesday June 8 at 4 pm – 11 pm and continues on through Saturday and Sunday June 12 from Noon – 11 pm. The carnival is presented by Dreamland Amusements of Stony Brook, New York.
Enjoy a day in the “Park,” while you help to support Airmid Theatre’s UPCOMING THEATRE PRODUCTIONS to be produced as part of Airmid’s annual FREE Theatre Festival. By attending the carnival and riding the rides, you will not only have fun, you will also support Airmids Free Theatre Festival. The proceeds from all the rides help us to continue in keeping the Summer Theatre Festival free. What is your excuse for not having fun and being a supporter of the arts all at the same time?
2011 marks the third year for Airmid’s free Summer Theatre Festival, which opens on July 5th with the family series production of JACK AND THE PRINCESS WHO NEVER LAUGHED by Kate Freiligrath-Kroeker, Directed by Ellen Distasi. The play, based on an old Russian folk tale, runs approximately 55 minutes with audience participation; for ages 5 and up. In this play you will experience unusual characters and even a talking swan who shows Jack the way to a magical life. Performances begin on Tuesday July 5 and can be seen Mondays – Fridays at 1:00 pm. (New York State Parking fees apply prior to 4 pm) through July 22nd. 14 chances to see the show! Opening on July 27th, the second production of the festival is the feisty new translation of A LITTLE BETRAYAL AMONG FRIENDS by Caridad Svich, freely adapted and translated from Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor’s comedy La Traicion en la amistad. This mature themed play is a fabulously funny romp where Shakespeare meets “Sex and the City”.
Airmid’s Summer Theatre Festival has been funded in part by the Town of Smithtown, and Suffolk County under the auspices of the Office of Cultural Affairs, Steve Levy County Executive and administered by the Smithtown Arts Council. Funding support also provided by the Angela and Scott Jaggar Foundation for the Airmid family series, and Astoria Federal Saving Bank, JP Morgan Chase Bank, the Nissequogue River State Parks Foundation.
