Update!
We just added some fall shows to the calendar (see Gigs side bar for more details) with more sure to come.

In other news: This May, Adam will be playing God -- a role he was surely born to play -- in the Niagara Regional Theatre Guide's production of the Stephen Schwartz musical Children of Eden. This is far and way the lead role in the show, which is running from May 4 through May 20. If you're local to Western New York, you have to check it out, and if you're not local to WNY, you should consider traveling. Tickets are going fast!

Lastly, Rand's side-project Via Bella released their debut album The Way of Beauty on April 20. Check it out! Via Bella.
