The Weis Center for the Performing Arts will welcome contemporary cirque ensemble Machine de Cirque on Tuesday, October 8 at 7 p.m. at the Weis Center.
The performance is sponsored, in part, by The Press Enterprise.
Award-winning Guinness World Record-holder Maxim Laurin performs a spectacular duet with Guillaume Larouche on a spinning teeterboard that brings audiences into the elusive world between fall and flight.
Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight takes a deep look into the synergy of two highly skilled performers, while the teeterboard propels them toward each other in the euphoria of flight, accompanied by the levity of weightlessness and the fatality of the inevitable fall. A reflection of the journey of a partnership, Ghost Light features a blend of breathtaking acrobatic feats, poignant choreography and a saturated lighting design.
One-hour in length, Ghost Light premiered in fall 2020 in France. It had its North American premiere at Tohu in Montreal in November 2021.
Boasting performers from Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize and Les 7 Doigts, Machine de Cirque was created by juggler/acrobats Raphaël Dubé and Yohann Trépanier, along with percussionist Fred Lebrasseur, under the artistic direction of Vincent Dubé.
More about the Show
The curtain falls. The theatre is plunged into darkness. Only a single light watches guard: the “Ghost Light.” The ghosts that inhabit the space are drawn toward the ghost light. As they recall the energy of a past life, they push each other around, push each other away, enjoy themselves, tear each other apart, only to fall into an embrace once again. Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight makes visible what is invisible. The two beings lead us into a captivating performance that features a blend of stunning acrobatic feats, choreography, ghostly lights and upbeat music. A reflection of the journey of a partnership, the teeterboard propels the acrobats toward each other in the euphoria of flight, the levity of weightlessness, and the fatality of the inevitable fall. Let yourself be moved by this story that touches the spirit beyond mere mortal words.

Williamsport, PA – The Community Arts Center (CAC) is pleased to announce it is the recipient of $20,000 from C&N, a leading community-oriented financial services institution, through the Pennsylvania Education Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. The contribution will be used to support the Educational Series programming within the approved Educational Improvement Tax Credit Programs.
“We are excited to support the Community Arts Center and their initiatives that provide local educational programming, especially in encouraging youth to learn about and experience the arts and theatre. We are fortunate to have this educational resource in our community,” said Thomas Rudy, Regional President at C&N.
The CAC is an approved Educational Improvement Organization by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. Educational Improvement Tax Credit funds allow approved organizations to invest in projects that improve access to high quality education programs. Annually since 2007, the Community Arts Center has been able to provide thousands of students with access to exceptional arts programming that enhances the classroom curriculum of nine school districts across a multi-county geographic reach in Northcentral Pennsylvania.
Jim Dougherty, Executive Director of the CAC, said, “We are very grateful for the EITC funding support that we receive, which allows us to continue supporting and developing the arts in our community.
C&N’s generosity helps us to create unique experiences for children and youth throughout Lycoming and neighboring counties, and allows those children the opportunity for experiences that they might not otherwise have access to.”
Funding for the educational programming is derived from various sources, including EITC Funds, donations, corporate sponsorships, and grants.
“This EITC funding from C&N is truly making a difference and I want to thank them for recognizing how the arts can inspire our youth. In addition to fostering a love of the arts and exposure to theater, the Educational Series programming also supports and enhances local district curriculums by providing instructors with supporting resources and lesson plans that encourage artifact building by their students,” said Ana Gonzalez-White, College Relations Officer in charge of development for the CAC.
C&N has participated in the EITC program for well over a decade and has donated over $900,000 to local educational organizations this year alone.
For more information about giving opportunities at the CAC, contact Gonzalez-White at 570-327-7657 or email [email protected].

The Community Theatre League (CTL) is thrilled to announce the regional premiere of the hit musical “The Prom,” opening June 14 and running June 14 through June 16, and June 20 through June 23 at their Mainstage Theatre. The show promises to be a vibrant, heartwarming, and humorous production that captures the spirit of inclusivity and love. This production is proudly sponsored by Diamond Drinks and the AIDS Resource Center.
“The Prom” follows four eccentric Broadway stars who are in desperate need of a new stage. When they learn of a brewing controversy around a small-town prom, they see an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the issue—and on themselves.
The town’s parents aim to keep the high school dance strictly traditional, but one student’s wish to bring her girlfriend to prom changes everything. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl to change the hearts and open the minds of the town’s citizens. The result is a love that brings them all together. “The Prom” masterfully blends humor and heart, delivering a classic musical comedy with an important message for today’s audiences.
Director Marie Fox, Music Director Amanda Haney, and Choreographer Kat Shondeck lead this talented creative team. The production stars Rubie Natal as Emma, Hannah McBride as Alyssa, Katie Conklin as Dee Dee, Steven Lindenmuth as Barry, Tim Hippensteel as Trent, and Abby Simon as Angie. A large and dynamic ensemble rounds out the cast, bringing
the town and high school to life with their energy and talent.
Seth Sponhouse, CTL’s Executive Artistic Director, expresses his excitement: “We are beyond thrilled to bring ‘The Prom’ to our stage. This musical is not only entertaining but also deeply moving with its message of love and acceptance. It’s an important message for our community, our nation, and our world.”
He adds, “The cast and crew have been working tirelessly to bring this story to life with all the humor, heart, and high-energy musical numbers that make ‘The Prom’ such a hit. This is a show that resonates with people of all ages, and we encourage everyone to come and experience this joyous production.”
Opening Night attendees are encouraged to dress in their prom best to add to the festive atmosphere of the premiere. “Feel free to come dressed as if you are heading to prom!” says Sponhouse. “It’s going to be a night to remember.”
Please note that “The Prom” contains some language and sexual innuendo and may not be suitable for younger children. Parental guidance is advised.
Tickets are available now and can be purchased at https://ctlshows.com/season-47/#TheProm. Don’t miss your chance to see this extraordinary musical that The New York Times calls “a joyful hoot.”

Jazz pianist Sean Mason performs on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. When Sean Mason speaks about music, the notes fall into place. The cadence of his ideas unfolds with deliberate tempo, each exploring and resolving tension like an inspired chord progression. On his debut album, The Southern Suite, he emerges as a guiding luminary, shining his introspective command as both a pianist and composer through the historic lens of jazz to create a work that distills the essence of the genre for our time, even as it points the way forward.

The blend of their unique vocal timbres is so rich and smooth that, at times, it sounds more like a full choir than four men. Their brand of rhythm and blues is entwined with free moments of jazz, soulful bursts of gospel and bright touches of pop — all built on a solid, classical foundation.
World music from Brazil comes to Central PA when Heloísa Fernandes Quartet performs on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m. The work of Brazilian pianist and composer Heloísa Fernandes is the sound of a woman free to study literature, poetry, nature and the classical, jazz and Brazilian musical worlds, and to let them shape her identity and flow into compositions. Strong and original, ancient and modern, her sublime creations blossom with rhythmic vitality and melodic delicacy. With her skill as an improviser, she searches for emotional depths and soars with joy. “Fernandes is beyond categorization,” wrote the Post and Courier of her American debut. “She is herself, and I’ll always be interested in any music she cares to explore.” In addition to herself, the quartet includes Toninho Carrasqueira (flute), Sidiel Vieira (bass) and Ari Colares (percussion).

Onstage, the group’s performances give audiences a sense of how much they love what they do. In recordings — including 2023’s Lead and Iron, released via Dark Shadow Recording — the band explores their collective life experiences through songwriting and intricate instrumentation. While bluegrass is the undeniable foundation of the Henhouse Prowlers’ music, the band bends and squeezes the traditional form into a keenly developed sound all its own.
Jazz drummer Nate Smith performs on Friday, Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. Smith’s visceral, instinctive and deep-rooted style of drumming has led to three Grammy nominations.

His latest album, Kinfolk 2: See the Birds, is the highly anticipated follow up to his 2017 Grammy Award-nominated album, Kinfolk: Postcards From Everywhere. Smith’s videos have been viewed by millions of people, underscoring his popularity as one of the most influential drummers of his generation.
Esmé Quartet performs on Friday, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. Praised for its warm sound and powerful stage presence, the Esmé Quartet was formed in 2016 at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne, Germany, by four musicians who had been friends since their youth.

World music from Ukraine will be presented by DakhaBrakha on Thursday, March 20, at 7:30 p.m. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, Ukrainian “ethno-chaos” band DakhaBrakha creates a world of unexpected new music. The group is original, outstanding and authentic at the same time, and its name means give/take in the old Ukrainian language. Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
Houston Ballet II graces the stage on Friday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. Houston Ballet II is the second company of Houston Ballet, America’s fourth largest ballet company.

Gramophone praised the trio’s “taut and vivid interpretations,” while The Strad called out the musicians’ “eloquent phrasing and deft control of textures” and BBC Music Magazine described the performances as balancing “passion with sensitivity and grace.”
Back by popular demand, Zakir Hussain and Masters of Percussion will perform world music on Thursday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m. Zakir Hussain is appreciated both in the field of percussion and in the music world at large as an international phenomenon and one of the greatest musicians of our time. A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, his consistently brilliant and exciting performances have established him as a national treasure in his own country, India, and as one of India’s reigning cultural ambassadors.
The season ends with a blues performance by Ruthie Foster on Friday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. Renowned for her ability to weave together a tapestry of diverse musical influences ranging from gospel and blues to folk and soul, Ruthie Foster’s musical odyssey has taken her from singing in churches in rural Texas to earning multiple Grammy nominations, gracing the stage of New York’s Beacon Theatre with the Allman Brothers, and collaborating with icons such as Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. With her milestone tenth studio album, Mileage, released by the legendary Sun Records, Foster continues to tell stories that reflect her personal triumphs, losses, and the universal human experience.
