Stamford Palace Theater
Lewis Black - Black is one of the most prolific and popular comedians active today, performing more than 200 nights annually to sold-out audiences throughout Europe and the US.

Gimme Drama!
Sherlock Holmes at Lyndhurst: Enter the world of Sherlock Holmes – or come about as close as you can – with the production of “A Scandal in Bohemia” in Tarrytown’s Lyndhurst Mansion. The show is adapted from the Arthur Conan Doyle short story. By staging it in the 19th-century Gothic Revival mansion, the Red Monkey Theater Group and the M&M Performing Arts invite the audience into the very room where the famous detective matches wits with the equally clever Irene Adler.
