 EVER / AFTER

​

Marion Belanger and Martha Willette Lewis (Collaborators)

​

October 30 - December 8, 2025

​

Located in The Workshop Gallery, Building 3.

​

Opening Reception on Thursday, October 30th from 4-7PM

​

Regular Gallery Hours from 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

​

 Ever/After is a collaborative multimedia art project that consists of photographs by Marion Belanger and ink paintings and collage by Martha Willette Lewis. This visual dialogue grew from their shared state of unease and concern regarding the climate/environmental crisis. Belanger makes photographs in the field and prints them on lightweight but durable rice paper that Lewis then soaks, stains, tears and paints upon. The added stress upon the photographic image (some which have already been altered by double exposure and intentional abstraction) symbolically references the damages and disturbances such as extreme storms, forest fires and extinctions that are now so evident in daily life. Manipulated, gilded, stained and torn, the works become artifacts bearing the impact of human touch, just as the land itself does. Fragile and beautiful, Ever/After is a visual lament for the seepages, shifts, losses, extinctions, and extractions made by humankind.  

​

Belanger and Lewis have been collaborating since 2016. They created the permanent installation Insects & Plants: Excavating the Archive at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station in New Haven. The Underneath, an immersive multi-media installation was commissioned by Artspace in 2016. Ever/ After is an ongoing series regarding the threatened environment, and Strange and Beautiful Sound is recent work centered on the coastline of Long Island Sound.

​

Plot Summary: For seven years, a certain boy wizard attended a certain school of magic and conquered evil—this is not his story. Based on the award-winning Harry Potter series, Puffs follows Wayne Hopkins and his fellow misfits in the House that's easy to forget, proving that even if you're not the Chosen One, your story still matters in this hilarious and heartfelt love letter to anyone who has ever felt like a secondary character in their own life.

​

Character Breakdown: Unless otherwise stated, all roles are open to any gender, ethnicity, and age. Looking for strong comedic timing and ability to use in characterized voices.

​

• Wayne Hopkins - The hero. Totally uncool, but full of charm and heart. Loyal to a tee. Likes comic books and video games, knows nothing about magic or this weird magic world he is now a part of. Best friends with Oliver and Megan.

​

• Oliver Rivers - One of the main trio. Incredibly smart and cerebral, he is a math wiz, and proud of it; lovingly a nerd from New Jersey. After ending up at wizarding school, he finds out he isn’t the top of his class, and instead begins a fantastical journey of friendship and even some love, better than any algebra class could ever promise. Real comic chops, incredibly appealing, youthful.

​

• Megan Jones - One of the main trio; begins the show by only desiring to live up to her mother’s reputation: a dark wizard currently in Wiz Priz for being such a bad-ass Death Buddy in her youth. Favorite store: Hot Topic. Favorite color: black. Over time, her tough veneer begins to soften, as a budding romance with Oliver becomes apparent. Defiant and headstrong on the surface, the audience begins to see that her adamance of being completely unique and independent really stems from her desire to be loved and accepted.

​

• Narrator - The narrator of the story. She/he guides us through our entire show of Puffy-ness. British accent. Must be a great storyteller, as she/he must keep the audience engaged and updated on all the goings-on. Can be a bit of a know-it-all, but still relatable and appealing. Comedy skills a must, improv background is a plus.

​

• Leanne - A little distant. A little random. Is possibly a genius or really, really stupid. But has a really strong heart. The Puffiest of the Puffs.

​

• Ernie Mac - Proud. Loud. Pretty sure he’s the best.

​

• Hannah - Shy. Very shy.

​

• J. Finich Fletchley - Boyish & fun. Chipper and happy except, when his life is in mortal danger.

​

• Sally Perks - She goes to school here.

​

• Susie Bones - Sad. Gloomy. Think Eeyore from “Winnie the Pooh.” Constantly in fear of her or her family dying.

​

• Cedric/Mr. Voldy - An appealing comic actor to play the pivotal roles of Cedric in Act I and Mr. Voldy in Act II. Cedric: A champion. Athletic, winning, popular, and charming. Everyone’s favorite, but still loyal, patient, and kind. A leading example of a Puff. Mr. Voldy: Evil. Like, reeeaaally evil. Wants to rule the world in shadows and darkness and terror.

​

• Other Characters: Harry, Hermeoone 1, 2, and 3, Clumsy Longbottom, Blondo Malfoy, Seamus, Goyle, Viktor, Colin, Frenchy, Zach Smith, Uncle Dave, Hagrid, A Certain Potions Teacher, 1st Headmaster, 2nd Headmaster, Professor Locky, Professor McG, Professor Turban, Professor Sproutty, Professor Lanny, Ghost History Teach, Runes Teach, Ms. Babble, Real Mr. Moody, Mr. Nick, A Fat Friar, Myrtle, Sorted Smart, Rita Scooter, Mr. Bagman, Death Buddy 1, Xavia Jones, Helga, Rowena, Ric Gryff, Sal, Bippy, Scorpy

Plot Summary: For seven years, a certain boy wizard attended a certain school of magic and conquered evil—this is not his story. Based on the award-winning Harry Potter series, Puffs follows Wayne Hopkins and his fellow misfits in the House that's easy to forget, proving that even if you're not the Chosen One, your story still matters in this hilarious and heartfelt love letter to anyone who has ever felt like a secondary character in their own life.

​

Character Breakdown: Unless otherwise stated, all roles are open to any gender, ethnicity, and age. Looking for strong comedic timing and ability to use in characterized voices.

​

• Wayne Hopkins - The hero. Totally uncool, but full of charm and heart. Loyal to a tee. Likes comic books and video games, knows nothing about magic or this weird magic world he is now a part of. Best friends with Oliver and Megan.

​

• Oliver Rivers - One of the main trio. Incredibly smart and cerebral, he is a math wiz, and proud of it; lovingly a nerd from New Jersey. After ending up at wizarding school, he finds out he isn’t the top of his class, and instead begins a fantastical journey of friendship and even some love, better than any algebra class could ever promise. Real comic chops, incredibly appealing, youthful.

​

• Megan Jones - One of the main trio; begins the show by only desiring to live up to her mother’s reputation: a dark wizard currently in Wiz Priz for being such a bad-ass Death Buddy in her youth. Favorite store: Hot Topic. Favorite color: black. Over time, her tough veneer begins to soften, as a budding romance with Oliver becomes apparent. Defiant and headstrong on the surface, the audience begins to see that her adamance of being completely unique and independent really stems from her desire to be loved and accepted.

​

• Narrator - The narrator of the story. She/he guides us through our entire show of Puffy-ness. British accent. Must be a great storyteller, as she/he must keep the audience engaged and updated on all the goings-on. Can be a bit of a know-it-all, but still relatable and appealing. Comedy skills a must, improv background is a plus.

​

• Leanne - A little distant. A little random. Is possibly a genius or really, really stupid. But has a really strong heart. The Puffiest of the Puffs.

​

• Ernie Mac - Proud. Loud. Pretty sure he’s the best.

​

• Hannah - Shy. Very shy.

​

• J. Finich Fletchley - Boyish & fun. Chipper and happy except, when his life is in mortal danger.

​

• Sally Perks - She goes to school here.

​

• Susie Bones - Sad. Gloomy. Think Eeyore from “Winnie the Pooh.” Constantly in fear of her or her family dying.

​

• Cedric/Mr. Voldy - An appealing comic actor to play the pivotal roles of Cedric in Act I and Mr. Voldy in Act II. Cedric: A champion. Athletic, winning, popular, and charming. Everyone’s favorite, but still loyal, patient, and kind. A leading example of a Puff. Mr. Voldy: Evil. Like, reeeaaally evil. Wants to rule the world in shadows and darkness and terror.

​

• Other Characters: Harry, Hermeoone 1, 2, and 3, Clumsy Longbottom, Blondo Malfoy, Seamus, Goyle, Viktor, Colin, Frenchy, Zach Smith, Uncle Dave, Hagrid, A Certain Potions Teacher, 1st Headmaster, 2nd Headmaster, Professor Locky, Professor McG, Professor Turban, Professor Sproutty, Professor Lanny, Ghost History Teach, Runes Teach, Ms. Babble, Real Mr. Moody, Mr. Nick, A Fat Friar, Myrtle, Sorted Smart, Rita Scooter, Mr. Bagman, Death Buddy 1, Xavia Jones, Helga, Rowena, Ric Gryff, Sal, Bippy, Scorpy

 EVER / AFTER

​

Marion Belanger and Martha Willette Lewis (Collaborators)

​

October 30 - December 8, 2025

​

Located in The Workshop Gallery, Building 3.

​

Opening Reception on Thursday, October 30th from 4-7PM

​

Regular Gallery Hours from 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

​

 Ever/After is a collaborative multimedia art project that consists of photographs by Marion Belanger and ink paintings and collage by Martha Willette Lewis. This visual dialogue grew from their shared state of unease and concern regarding the climate/environmental crisis. Belanger makes photographs in the field and prints them on lightweight but durable rice paper that Lewis then soaks, stains, tears and paints upon. The added stress upon the photographic image (some which have already been altered by double exposure and intentional abstraction) symbolically references the damages and disturbances such as extreme storms, forest fires and extinctions that are now so evident in daily life. Manipulated, gilded, stained and torn, the works become artifacts bearing the impact of human touch, just as the land itself does. Fragile and beautiful, Ever/After is a visual lament for the seepages, shifts, losses, extinctions, and extractions made by humankind.  

​

Belanger and Lewis have been collaborating since 2016. They created the permanent installation Insects & Plants: Excavating the Archive at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station in New Haven. The Underneath, an immersive multi-media installation was commissioned by Artspace in 2016. Ever/ After is an ongoing series regarding the threatened environment, and Strange and Beautiful Sound is recent work centered on the coastline of Long Island Sound. 

​

​

❄️ Saturday, December 20, 2025 — 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

​

It's winter~! It's time to cozy up by a fire, wrap a blanket around you, light a candle, drink some hot cocoa! There's fresh snow on the ground, frosty branches, the deep blues of a crisp evening sky, and the glow of holiday lights. The colors during the winter are beautiful - and now we can catch all of that in a fused glass lantern.

​

In this workshop, you’ll create four winter-themed panels out of fused glass, stringers, and frit. Think icy trees, snowflakes, glowing stars, or even a candy-cane forest! Delicious! We’ll walk you through the ins and outs of fused glass, give tool demonstrations, go over safety practices, and show you the building-block techniques of this very magical medium.

​

You’ll be doing a type of glasswork called cold working: working with glass without heat. We’ll fire your pieces in the kiln after you leave, and your finished lantern will be ready for pickup within a week. No need to assemble the lantern yourself, we got that! You'll be picking up a fully assembled piece of art. 

​

What to Expect:

​

🔹 Craft a one-of-a-kind fused glass lantern glowing with winter magic—snowflakes, frosted pines, twinkling stars, or whatever inspires you

​

🔹 Learn fundamental glass fusing techniques in a cozy, welcoming studio

​

🔹 Choose from shimmering textures, sparkling whites, cool blues, and holiday-inspired palettes (or get wild—rainbow snowstorm, anyone?)

​

🔹 Receive step-by-step guidance from an experienced instructor

​

🔹 Pick up your fully assembled lantern within a week

​

What’s Included:

​

✅ All glass materials, tools, and supplies

​

✅ Kiln firing and lantern assembly

​

✅ Personalized instruction and creative support

In the heartwarming play "Miracle on 34th Street," a department store Santa Claus claims to be the real Kris Kringle, challenging the cynicism of a young girl and her pragmatic mother in New York City. As Kringle's genuine belief and kindness begin to transform those around him, he faces a court hearing that will determine his sanity and the very existence of Santa Claus. The play explores themes of faith, imagination, and the Christmas spirit, ultimately proving that belief and magic can triumph over skepticism and commercialism.

 India is one of the most iconic and influential voices in Latin music.

​

With over three decades of unparalleled success, the “Princess of Salsa” is the female artist with the most number one hits on the Billboard Tropical Airplay chart, holding two Guinness World Records — one for the most number one singles by a female artist (11) and one for the most number one albums (6) on the Billboard Tropical Albums chart.

​

India’s career began in the 1980s as a member of TKA before she rose to prominence as a solo artist. Her breakthrough came with her 1994 album Dicen Que Soy, which became a cultural milestone and solidified her place as a leading figure in salsa. Other standout albums include Sobre el Fuego (1997), Latin Songbird: Mi Alma y Corazón (2002), Soy Diferente (2006), and Intensamente India con Canciones de Juan Gabriel (2015). Some of her greatest hits include “Ese Hombre,” “Qué Ganas de No Verte Nunca Más,” “Vivir Lo Nuestro” (featuring Marc Anthony), “Mi Mayor Venganza,” and “Sedúceme.”

​

India has received over 30 Premio Lo Nuestro nominations and a GRAMMY® nomination and has won a Latin GRAMMY® and ten Latin Billboard Music Awards. India was also honored with the Pioneer Award at the Billboard Latin Women in Music awards and received the Premio a la Trayectoria at Premio Lo Nuestro in 2025, recognizing her groundbreaking contributions to salsa and Latin music.

​

Her impact extends beyond music, with activism for LGBTQ+ rights and recognition as a cultural pioneer. India has also collaborated with industry legends, including Juan Gabriel, Eddie Palmieri, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente and Marc Anthony, and continues to break barriers with her musical versatility, spanning salsa, jazz, dance, R&B, and tropical rhythms.

​

India’s legacy is undeniable, and she remains a dominant force in the evolution of Latin music.

​

Featuring Support Artist: Luis Figueroa

​

Luis Figueroa is the multi-talented six-time GRAMMY® nominated Puerto Rican American singer-songwriter and one of the most promising artists of the decade. He has solidified his status as the leading voice and star of the current Salsa movement reinvigorating the tropical music genre for new audiences.

 Prepare to be instantly drawn into the playful chemistry and comic banter of legendary composer-producer David Foster and popular singer-actress Katharine McPhee as they perform four decades of Foster’s hits.

​

In between songs, the husband-and-wife team banter and joke, sharing “behind the song” anecdotes and stories.

​

David Foster is a musical genius and one of the most successful songwriters and producers in pop history. Mostly known for his ethereal melodies from the 80s and 90s, Foster will pull fond memories from your past when he delivers decades of hits like Celine Dion’s “Because You Loved Me,” Earth Wind and Fire’s “After The Love Is Gone,” Chicago’s ”You’re the Inspiration,” Josh Groban’s “You Raised Me Up,” Michael Buble’s “Home,” Natalie Cole’s “Unforgettable,” and many, many more.

​

A Broadway singer and actress, McPhee’s career took off after her run on American Idol. She went on to become a successful recording artist and actress, with roles in film, television, and the stage, most notably in the TV show Smash and on Broadway and London’s West End in the hit musical, Waitress.

​

The music at the center of this intimate evening is a selection of Foster’s hit songs as well as songs that are popular with McPhee’s fans, including her cover of Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and "She Used to Be Mine" from Waitress. And her Celine Dion impression is hilariously spot-on!
