On Stage

‘Sikofitall Gudtyme Tour’
Comedian Ron Stroman has been holding forth at the Arena Players Carriage House Theater with his one-man show, Sikofitall Gudtyme Tour (pronounced: “Sick of it all goodtime tour”). “If you look up the definition to the term ‘old School’ you’ll find my picture” says Stroman, who has evolved into a writer of one-man shows. He further states, “Woke up one morning — found out it was no longer the seventies.”

Family Fun

Riddle Me This
Venture off to Old Westbury Gardens for a Labor Day weekend excursion. Explore the beautiful gardens and picnic among all of nature’s blooms. Young garden “detectives” can join a guided scavenger hunt to listen to the estate’s many secrets. While there, the kids can discover tricky methods of plant survival by deciphering riddled pictographs. It’s an opportunity to get up-close and personal with Mother Nature.
