Michele Costa @ Insite Gallery
Michele Costa's amazing, artful puppet actors are now on display at Insite Gallery. These are worth a trip out of the way to see. They are odd, scary, eerie, beautiful, exotic, dynamic, expressive, unique, disturbing, delightful... you can not imagine. I was so surprised!
Michele is a local treasure who's work needs to be seen and appreciated. She is a theatrical pro who has worked with a host of companies to make puppet actors ranging from an eight foot Othello to tiny characters.
Theatre Figuren is a fully developed professional performance company. The roles are filled by the artful puppets and masks along with voices and music. This week there will be two performances at the Insite Gallery at 810 Elmwood, in the Neighborhood Collective.
Sunday, January 15th, "A Hero's Journey" - A one woman production of puppetry, mime and mask. 2:00pm. There will be a special children's luncheon available before the performance at tru-teas. Call 716-887-2921 to make a reservation.
Friday, January 27th at 7:00 PM, "Petites Choses (small things)", a show of small music by Eric Satie, small puppets and small stories that make life grand. A small pre - show dinner is available at tru-teas prior to preformance. Come join us for an unusual evening of food and entertainment. Call 716-887-2921 for reservations.

A Kennedy Visits Buffalo
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
