My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senemet for 8 months and then Sifrol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD-5 natural herbal formula we ordered from AKNNI HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the AKANNI HERBAL Parkinson's disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! (Visit w w w.aknniherbscentre .com)

We’re so excited! 🐾♥️
Can’t wait! Working on my painting right now! 💗🐾
Meet Gentlemen’s Quartet: four musicians who bring serious credentials, real chemistry, and a lot of fun to the stage.
From Dave Eggar, a Juilliard- and Harvard-trained cellist whose playing you’ve already heard on Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”, to Ben Saporito, a Berklee-educated percussionist who’s performed everywhere from Broadway pits to symphony halls.
Add in pianist and violinist David Shenton, whose work bridges classical, jazz, and musical theater, guitarist and bassist Matt Scharfglass, and featured guest vocalist Erin Shields, and you get a group that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but takes the music very seriously.
Their collective experience with over 10,000 shows spans Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, international tours, and collaborations with some of the most recognizable artists across genres.
They’ll be bringing a unique performance to the Birdsong Theater THIS FRIDAY for a night that’s clever, surprising, and genuinely enjoyable whether you’re a close listener or just here for a great night out.

This exhibition brings together paintings rooted in storytelling, nature, and memory. Drawing from childhood moments and imagined landscapes, Chris Jeanguenat’s work invites viewers to step into scenes that feel personal, familiar, and adventurous.
The gallery itself has become part of the experience, designed to reflect the forested, literary world behind the work. Flora, Fauna & Fables is reflective and open-ended, encouraging visitors to find pieces of their own stories within the paintings.

Rowena Federico Finn: Crowd Control
Rowena Federico Finn’s exhibition brings together sculptural installation and accompanying works that reflect on identity, privacy, and the ways we exist as individuals within larger systems. While Crowd Control anchors the exhibition, the surrounding pieces expand the conversation, inviting visitors to move between close observation and broader reflection on how value and belonging are shaped in contemporary life.
Finn’s practice blends material, concept, and viewer engagement, encouraging time spent looking closely and considering how personal experience connects to collective experience. This exhibition is both visually striking and quietly contemplative, rewarding repeat visits and thoughtful exploration.
