Cypher Lounge

Welcome all rappers, spoken word artists, and fans of such to the Cypher Lounge. Hosted by Emerson B (aka LongStory), featuring a live resident band made up of Ashley Ickes on drums, Michael Schuler on bass, and Emmett Scott on keys, come showcase your art to the community in real time collaboration.
There will be a sign up sheet if you want to perform.
Acceptable performances include: rapping/freestyling, vocal collaborations, and spoken word. Remember that this is meant to be a live collaborative process between the musicians and performers, which means that we will not play your tracks or be expected to play your songs. Performers can ask the band to play at a certain tempo, but the music will be made up on the spot. Cyphers are intended to be collaborative freestyles, so freestyling is highly encouraged, but of course you can rap your original lyrics as well.
Come with an open mind and share your talent with the community!

Third Sunday every month!

A Christmas Story the Musical; Multiple Showings
2025-12-23 19:30 - 2025-12-28 15:30 | Syracuse Stage at Archbold Theatre, 820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse, 13210, United States
By Philip Grecian | Based on the motion picture A Christmas Story written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark and In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd | Directed by Robert Hupp
The beloved holiday film, live onstage!
9-year-old Ralphie Parker has his sights set on a coveted Christmas gift, but he’ll have to play his cards right if he’s going to convince the “Old Man” to leave it under the tree. Meanwhile, he’ll have to deal with the neighborhood bully, an annoying kid brother, nagging teachers, and the constant cold of a frigid Indiana winter. Filled with the most memorable moments from the beloved 1983 film—a glorious leg lamp, grandma’s bunny pajamas, Orphan Annie’s decoder ring, and one serious triple-dog-dare—this nostalgic adaptation faithfully captures author Jean Shepherd’s small-town wit while inviting new audiences to discover this timeless family comedy for the first time.
“This version is just as kindly and just as cockeyed as A Christmas Story is meant to be.”
– Orlando Sentinel
