Your Final Chance to See The Much Talked About, Godspell!
The Arts Center is giving you one last chance to see the show that has been given standing ovations every night! Godspell is the unforgettable musical experience based on the gospel according to St. Matthew, which features the sparkling score of Wicked’s Stephen Schwartz. On July 22nd at 7.30pm, Star Lake is the lucky town that will host this magical and moving musical event. So book your tickets early and get yourself down to Clifton Fine Central School, for a performance you’ll never forget!

The AC Puts On a Feast of Twelfth Night
Rehearsals are almost complete and the final preparations are underway for the ACs epic Shakespearean tour of the Adirondacks. Starting on July 24th with a very special tour of the newly renovated Huntington Lodge on the private Arbutus Lake followed by a savory gourmet picnic lunch and the sneak peak of Twelfth Night .A talkback with the cast and crew will follow the performance. There is limited seating for this event so early booking is highly recommended.
After the premiere we start our two-week tour of the Adirondack Park, taking in 17 different locations and it’s all FREE. However, this is Shakespeare with a twist! The classic jazz songs of the 1950s keep the beat for this tuneful, topsy-turvy tale of mistaken identities and foiled lovers. When the Rat Pack meets the Bard, it’s very funny, very romantic, and way cool!
