SUMMARY:Playwright’s Night – Varian
DESCRIPTION:Varian is a new solo play about the journey of Varian Fry\, an American writer and editor\, who traveled to Vichy France during World War II. He helped rescue Anti-Nazi and Jewish refugees\, including artists Marc Chagall and Max Ernst\, writer André Breton\, and philosopher Hannah Arendt. A determined\, clever and\, at times\, a very naive man\, Varian used his energy to save thousands of lives. When traveling to a world that was not his own\, he managed to employ a variety of legal and illegal efforts to rescue a collection of celebrated scientists\, intellectuals\, and artists\, as well as everyday refugees from across Europe. Varian is the second play in A Resilience Trilogy by Michael London.

SUMMARY:Jason Cytacki\, Haley Prestifilippo\, and Yoshiko Shimano Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present “Knickknacks” by Jason Cytacki and Haley Prestifilippo in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery along with “Lasting Memories” by Yoshiko Shimano in the Works on Paper Gallery. Cytacki’s work critically examines the American mythological landscape\, particularly suburban life\, through his paintings. He utilizes tenuous\, anxious humor\, and unexpected juxtapositions to question the underlying narratives that shape our shared identity\, asking the question: “Is this all there is?” Prestifilippo explores the way histories adhere to physical forms\, layering and ossifying into material residue of experience. Her detailed drawings of personally precious objects are woven with her hair collected post-partum. Viewers are invited to consider the stories embedded within both her works and outside objects such as a tree’s rings\, holding the history of its growth. Shimano utilizes the traditions of her Japanese heritage through printmaking to express the depth of beauty that can come through the complexities of the human experience. “Lasting Memories” aims to keep record of her friends’ life stories as they live to the fullest despite old age\, memory loss\, and eventually death. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on January 30\, 2026\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from January 5 – February 2\, 2026. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays. Free and accessible parking is located in Parking Lot K.
