SUMMARY:Machinal
DESCRIPTION:MACHINAL: By Sophie Treadwell\, directed by Annie G. Levy. Presented in the MainStage Theatre at the Visual and Performing Arts Center on the Westside campus. \nPerformance times: \nFriday\, Nov. 21\, 8 p.m.\nSaturday\, Nov. 22\, 2 p.m.\nSaturday\, Nov. 22\, 8 p.m.\nSunday\, Nov. 23\, 2 p.m. \nClick here to learn more about the production and to select other performance dates/times. \n  \nShe is a cog in a machine she did not build. In Sophie Treadwell’s Machinal\, one woman’s life is shaped and ultimately shattered by the mechanized forces of modern society. This visceral\, physical production explores the collapse of a soul forced to submit to the grinding pressures of labor\, gender\, and social expectation. Inspired by the 1928 true crime case of Ruth Snyder and told with the cold precision of an assembly line\, Machinal asks: what happens when the need to get free outweighs the unthinkable cost? \nAccessible seating is available in limited quantity\, please email Eric Gomez\, VPAC Events Coordinator at gomeze@wcsu.edu to inquire about accessible seating. You may also call the box office at (203) 837-3266. \nWCSU student tickets are $10.00 and are available for purchase at the VPAC box office. \nNo refunds are permitted; all sales are final. Please note that tickets are subject to a higher price at the box office. The venue recommends purchasing your tickets in advance on wcsuvpac.eventbrite.com.

SUMMARY:Musical Evening with Rick Reyes
DESCRIPTION:MUSICAL EVENING WITH RICK REYES: Join the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and City Center Danbury as we welcome musician Rick Reyes to Danbury from 6 to 8 p.m. at the City Center Green. \nKnown for his powerful storytelling and dynamic performances\, Reyes blends traditional Puerto Rican sounds with salsa\, merengue\, Latin jazz\, and American folk influences. His music honors the richness of his heritage while also carrying messages of social justice\, cultural pride\, and community connection. As part of Hispanic Heritage Month\, this performance is more than entertainment\, it’s a celebration of identity\, tradition\, and the lasting contributions of the Hispanic community. \nReyes is a Bridgeport-born troubadour\, songwriter\, and storyteller whose music blends Puerto Rican folk traditions with rock\, salsa\, Latin jazz\, and socially conscious themes. Drawing from his upbringing in Puerto Rico and experiences of identity\, resilience\, and justice\, Reyes creates powerful songs that honor heritage while inspiring hope. Through projects like the Cosmic Jíbaros\, Pasofino Social Club\, and Novela Sin Tiempo\, his work celebrates culture\, community\, and the courage to dream. His latest project\, The Puerto Rican Song Book\, uplifts the voices and history of Puerto Rican singer-songwriters\, offering audiences both music and meaning.
