Asylum, written and performed by Cherry Collective Member Elizabeth Mozer, is based on stunning true events connected to the deserted Binghamton psychiatric hospital known as “The Castle.” In a work that she has performed across the US, Mozer weaves together over six decades the lives of a Polish immigrant, three hospital inmates, and a woman following the clues to her past. This original movement-infused drama draws from personal accounts, historical documents, and imaginings to explore the shifting definitions of mental health and to bring marginalized voices to life. The Cherry Artists Collective presents Asylum on the heels of a sold-out, held-over run at the United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City.

The Belle of Amherst is a beloved classic about the iconic, reclusive poet Emily Dickinson. The play draws from Dickinson's letters, diaries and poetry to paint a complex and joyful portrait of one of the great American women artists. Ithaca College acting professor Kathleen Mulligan performs an indelible Emily in a vibrant reimagining by director Norm Johnson. The Belle of Amherst will perform at the Cherry Artspace directly from a run at the American University in Beirut.

The English-language and US Premiere of The Saint brings the work of beloved Argentine playwright Santiago Loza back to the Cherry stage, starring Jennifer Herzog under the direction of Amina Omari. Currently in the eighth year of its hit run in Buenos Aires, this funny, delicate, and dramatic tale follows the spiritual and emotional journey of an unforgettable young woman.
Content warning: adult / disturbing content, including discussion of sexual violence. More information available upon request.

Cayuga Lake Environmental Action Now (CLEAN) is sponsoring a showing of The Human Element on November 6 at Cinemapolis, 120 E. Green St., 7:00 p.m., with proceeds to help protect the lake. After the film, audience members can learn more about local issues by engaging with panelists Cedric Mason, biological engineer; Serenna McCloud, Esq.; Brian Eden, chair of the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council; Stephanie Redmond, CLEAN Program Manager/Researcher; and others.

The Human Element is a 2019 documentary film that expands the ancient elements of earth, air, water, and fire to include humans. It has already won seven awards, including the Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival 2019 Best Feature Film. The producers are known for their other awe-inspiring works—Racing Extinction, The Cove, and Chasing Ice.

 Based in Tompkins County, CLEAN serves 40,000 people who depend on the lake for drinking water and many thousands more who use it for recreation. Cayuga’s waters, however, are threatened by nutrient-loading manure from large farms, contaminants that leach from several coal-ash landfills, industrial runoff, and brine associated with Cargill’s extensive salt mine under the lake.

CLEAN partners with Discover Cayuga Lake, the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network, and other local organizations on reducing salt pollution and tracking harmful algal blooms (HABS). Since its founding in April 2017, CLEAN has been monitoring the release of salt dust and brine from Cargill’s salt mine surface operations at Portland Point. CLEAN members collect and share data, educate residents, advocate for stronger lake protections, and press governmental officials to fulfill their responsibilities. Recently CLEAN and a coalition of four municipalities sued the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation for failing to require an environmental impact review of Cargill’s new mine shaft in Lansing, potentially harming local aquifers and the lake.
