Get in touch with your inner architect! Frank Lloyd Wright discussed the role wooden Froebel blocks played in his development, and described the tactile experience of playing with blocks as a child as “the sense which never afterward leaves the fingers.” And Wright's son, John Lloyd Wright, invented the popular building block toys Lincoln Logs! We'll have these toys and more for you to tinker with.
Binghamton University Art Museum is located in the Fine Arts Building on Binghamton University Campus. All BUAM events are free and open to the public.

Expansion Pack performs the premier long-form comedy show in the Greater Binghamton area. Zany, interactive and fun! It's not stand-up comedy but unscripted, ensemble, comedy creations magically crafted from audience suggestions and no two shows are exactly the same! Act One, Welcome to the Cinema Saver is a unique long form originated here and created as a nod to the former occupants of the building. After a short intermission, Act Two features an interview with a volunteer audience member(s). The Expansion Pack players then incorporate details of that interview into a zany series of scenes that consume the entire second act!
Located in the former Cinema Saver/Burts building at 19 Madison Avenue in Endicott. Free large and lighted parking lot. Cheap snacks. Free door prizes. About half the ticket price of most area theaters and twice the laughs. Presale tickets available on Eventbrite and at the door starting at 7:30 pm.

Step into the high-stakes world of international chess where grandmaster Freddie Trumper, America's volatile champion, faces off against Anatoly Sergievsky, his brilliant Soviet counterpart. Caught in the crossfire of their fierce rivalry is Florence Vassy, a Hungarian-American assistant with her own haunted past and divided loyalties. As these three brilliant minds converge at the World Chess Championship, the line between patriotism and passion blurs, threatening to topple kings both on and off the board.
With a powerhouse rock score that pulses with anthems of ambition and ballads of longing, Chess weaves a sophisticated tale of political intrigue and intimate human drama. Witness a story where every gambit risks not just victory, but identity itself, and where the greatest sacrifices are made not for country, but for love.
