SUMMARY:The Bike Month Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Make every ride count this May with the Bike Month Challenge! \nBrought to Ithaca by Love to Ride and GOIthaca\, the national #MakeEveryRideCount initiative aims to champion bike riding while harnessing the pedal power of bike riders across the country to generate data that will make biking better for everyone. \nSo\, how does it work? Once someone downloads the Love to Ride app and enjoys a bike ride\, they can use the Rate My Routes feature to show how comfortable they felt on different streets and paths. This feedback\, paired with anonymized trip data from other users\, can pinpoint the prime spots in your community calling out for better biking infrastructure! \nIt’s totally free to download the app and take part in the Bike Month Challenge. There are prizes up for grabs for anyone who logs a ride\, and even more can be won if someone encourages others to join! This May\, let’s #MakeEveryRideCount.

SUMMARY:Blood City Rollers
DESCRIPTION:Join V Park Anderson (she/they)\, the creator/writer of debut horror/comedy graphic novel series BLOOD CITY ROLLERS\, and their Alternate Universe (AU) City Podcast co-host Rey Noble (they/he) as they discuss collaborative storytelling\, the graphic novel creation process\, roller derby\, and teamwork as world-saving praxis. Bonus: get your book signed\, win a signed hardcover copy\, and/or learn more about local derby! \nAbout the Book \nAfter ice skater and Olympic hopeful Mina wipes out at her biggest competition\, she gets recruited by a squad of vampires who need a human player to complete their Paranormal Roller Derby team. \nAbout the Author and Illustrator \nVeronica Park (VP) Anderson (she/they) is a neurodivergent\, queer\, feminist millennial writer with a resume that Victor Frankenstein would disown for being “a bit much.” V’s previous job titles include: award-winning community theater actor\, professional lecturer on cruise ships\, indie film producer\, literary agent\, and creative project manager; however\, “writer” is the title that always fits. V plays competitive flat track roller derby as “Scarlet Five” #55 and prefers the pivot role\, aka “surprise jamming.” Born in Alaska and raised in Oregon\, she currently lives with her partner in Upstate NY and has two cats named Skeletor and Bo-Catan. \nTatiana Hill (she/her) is a Black and Latina illustrator by day and roller skater by night. Her art journey began alongside her love for anime in the early 2000s and culminated with a BA in Animation. Receiving awards for Best Art Direction\, she would later apply her skill set in color and design to illustration. Born in Los Angeles and a member of the roller skate community there\, Tatiana enjoys participating in a space that celebrates diversity\, identity\, and found family. She illustrated The Roller World Tarot deck and Blood City Rollers\, her debut graphic novel as an illustrator.

SUMMARY:Theatre Incognita presents THE GLASS MENAGERIE by Tennessee Williams
DESCRIPTION:A single mother raising two children in the Depression dreams of a Southern gentility long vanished. A sensitive daughter wraps herself up in a world of glass and old records.

Into their lives drops a ‘gentleman caller’ —“the long-delayed but always expected something that we live for.” \nTheatre Incognita concludes its spring 2024 season with performances of Tennessee Williams’ immortal THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Community School of Music and Arts in downtown Ithaca. \nKristin Sad takes on the iconic role of the mother\, Amanda. Jonah Hirst plays her son\, Tom; Kylie Schultz plays the daughter\, Laura; and AJ Sage plays Jim O’Connor\, their ’gentleman caller.’ \nEvening performances are at 7 pm\, Friday & Saturday May 3–4\, and Thursday through Saturday May 9-11. Matinee will be offered at 2pm on Sunday May 5 and May 12 (Mother’s Day). Tickets available at incognita.ludus.com
