SUMMARY:King Alcohol Ends Reign: Ithaca’s Prohibition History Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1900s\, Ithaca\, NY earned some colorful nicknames: “Sodom\,” “Sin City\,” and “Rum Town\, USA.” Long before national Prohibition took hold\, Ithacans were already battling over booze\, morality\, and modernity. \n“King Alcohol Ends Reign” is a 10-block walking tour through downtown Ithaca that traces the city’s spirited (and often surprising) history with Prohibition. Led by trained docents from The History Center\, this 60–70 minute experience takes you to the actual sites of speakeasies\, dry raids\, church protests\, saloons\, and reform rallies—uncovering how Ithaca became one of the first cities in New York State to go dry. \nThrough historic images\, newspaper headlines\, and stories of resistance and reform\, you’ll see the city in a whole new light. Whether you’re a local or just visiting\, you’ll never look at downtown Ithaca the same way again. \nTours are Thursday-Saturday at 5:30 PM  \nWhat: 75 minute walking tour \nWhere: The History Center in Tompkins County\, 110 N Tioga St\, Ithaca NY 14850 \nWho: This tour is designed for ages 16-116 \nWear Comfortable Shoes\, Bring an Umbrella\, Jacket\, and Water Bottle \nWeather – this tour takes place rain or shine! In case of severe weather\, we’ll determine cancellations by 10:30 am the morning-of.

SUMMARY:Raw Pages
DESCRIPTION:Raw Pages is a monthly writing circle where fiction and CNF writers can come together to share their “raw” writing in an open\, nonjudgemental\, nurturing environment. \nThe title “Raw Pages” comes from the photography world where the artist has the option to shoot “raw” leaving their work opportunity to be more flexible to future editing. \nThis group has evolved into a circle where writers have 5 minutes each to share a work of CNF or fiction that is new\, unedited\, and not yet ready for critical feedback. This an opportunity to share work with others and swap ideas about writing that is still in the planning stages and needing encouragement. So far there is a cast of writers who have come to know each other and the writing their peers are currently working on. We always welcome new folks! \nBring a piece of writing that is 5 minutes read out loud\, feel free to bring some copies if you want others to read along while you read out loud. Please bring pen and paper for notes as well as for a writing prompt given by Daniel at the end. We ask writers to come prepared to give positive and nurturing feedback to each other. We also ask for playfulness and the ability to find joy in the writing process as well as take things seriously! \nHosted by writer Daniel Menendez

SUMMARY:We Declare: A Storytelling Project for Our Times
DESCRIPTION:What:  	We Declare – A Storytelling Project for Our Times\nWhen: 	June 27\, 2026 – Performances at 1:00 and 4:00 p.m.\nWhere: 	Kitchen Theatre Company\, 417 W. State Street\, Ithaca NY\nTickets: 	FREE event (sliding scale offered) but tickets are required  		kitchentheatre.org/wedeclare \nWe Declare is a storytelling project for these times. In the lead-up to July 4\, 2026\, participating local writers have created short pieces in response to brief phrases taken directly from the Declaration of Independence. These personal stories are not editorials\, but provide a snapshot into this moment in American history\, a period with uncanny parallels to 1776. \nAt a time when our federal government threatens to silence and censor free speech\, We Declare is an act of rebellion to speak out; when they seek to divide us\, we stand together; when they spread hate\, we listen to one another with love and respect. The stories amplify compelling voices with the goal of building greater community through increased understanding and empathy.   \n2026 marks two anniversaries:  the 250th of the Declaration of Independence\, and the 20th of Ellen Schmidt’s Ithaca-based Writing Room community. From across the US and 15 countries\, more than 100  people have participated in Ellen Schmidt’s classes.  Some have moved far away\, we’ve seen each other through illnesses\, births\, deaths and a pandemic. We’ve learned the power of expressing ourselves and listening deeply to one another through the gift of writing. Now we invite you to share in this powerful experience. \nWe Declare writers are giving two performances on June 27 at the Kitchen Theatre Company in Ithaca\, at 1 pm and 4 pm. Tickets are free on a sliding scale\, but registration is required: kitchentheatre.org/wedeclare \nPhoto: “Liberty through Mist and Haze” by Terry Plater \nThis program is made possible in part with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program from the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of\nthe office of the Governor and NYS Legislature\, administered by the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County
