Shake on the Lake, a Silver Lake based Shakespearean troupe, will perform “Richard III” in Ellicottville at the Village Gazebo on Friday evening, Aug. 10, during Taste of Ellicottville weekend. The event, which is cosponsored by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, will be held at 8 p.m. Attendees are recommended to bring their chairs or a blanket. Shake on the Lake is a nonprofit professional theatre company that specializes in performances to underserved rural communities. The group hosts a full year of programming including Summer Shakespeare Tour, Winter Performances and Educational Programming. Shake on the Lake was founded in 2011 by Josh Rice and Pilar McKay. The hope was to bring Shakespeare to the shores of Silver Lake, the westernmost Finger Lake. Performing in their hometown eventually grew into touring to other rural communities in Upstate New York.

$50M National Comedy Center Celebrates Grand Opening
About 30 years ago, just before Lucille Ball passed away, she told her hometown of Jamestown that rather than a museum celebrating her life, there should be a place that celebrates all comedy. This past weekend, that vision was realized with the grand opening of the National Comedy Center. The National Comedy Center is now the first non-profit cultural institution and national-scale visitor experience dedicated to the art of comedy. This new 37,000 square foot, $50 million facility tells the
story of comedy from its origins through the present, with more than 50 immersive, interactive exhibits and rare comedy artifacts. The Grand Opening week-long celebration featured Amy Schumer, Lily Tomlin, a tribute to the original Saturday Night Live cast with Dan Aykroyd, Laraine Newman and writer Alan Zweibel, Fran Drescher, Lucie Arnaz, Laugh-In producer George Schlatter, comedians Lewis Black, See Comedy, page A11
