Written by Bekah Brunstetter and directed by Melinda Pinto, Frosting will fly in this topical, multilayered, sweet comedy. Della, a Christian conservative, faces a crisis of conscience when asked to make a wedding cake for the same sex wedding of her late friend’s daughter. This charming and heartfelt play calls to mind the playwright’s Emmy nominated work on TV’s award-winning show “This Is Us.”

Stand with Pride "We're Here" Rally
2023-01-15 15:00 | Rockland County Pride Center, 28 South Franklin Street, Nyack, NY, 10960, United States
Stand with Pride: ‘We’re Here’ Rally
Sunday, January 15th at 3PM
in front of the Pride Center, 28 S. Franklin Street, Nyack, NY
Why a Rally?
Remember when men jokingly said “no homo” to prevent their kindness from being mistaken for queerness? Wednesday morning, staff discovered someone had graffitied that phrase on the front of the Pride Center.
Incidents of hateful graffiti, threats, and intimidation are rising at LGBTQ+ community centers around the country.
These are the inevitable expression of a political moment charged with violence and hatred of LGBTQ+ people. We’ve already seen what happens when elected officials embolden individuals to take action to “protect children.”
We saw it at Club Q in Colorado Springs.
We saw it when Boston Children’s Hospital received bomb threats for providing healthcare to LGBTQ+ youth and their families.
We see it locally in threats against the Pride Center for working with schools.
No matter what happens: We’re here. We’re queer. Period. Nothing will change the reality that we are your teachers, neighbors, doctors, and pastors. We are your children whether you choose to see us or not.
To hate us is to hate a part of yourself.
See you on Sunday!

Film Screening of Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic
2023-01-25 18:00 | Nyack Library, 59 South Broadway, Nyack, NY, 10960, United States
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month
This event is free, open to community, and will be followed by a talk back and expert panel discussion featuring a representative from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),
Andrea Panjwani, Chief Legal Officer, Center for Safety & Change, and Jennifer Hammer, Coordinator of Anti-Human Trafficking Outreach and Services, Center for Safety & Change.
About the Film: Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic is an investigation into the world of online grooming and sextortion–a present-day reality for one in seven children online. By unsealing the federal case of a top-gun pilot with hundreds of victims, and interviewing survivors and their parents, this true-crime piece exposes an often-overlooked crime against children, the tactics of online predators, and the voices of parents and law enforcement poised to stop online child exploitation in its tracks.
This event is co-sponsored by:
