SUMMARY:The New York Neo-Futurists: The Infinite Wrench
DESCRIPTION:This show may include the use of flashing/strobing lights. It may also include adult themes\, humor\, language and content\, including alcohol use and partial nudity. \nPEM Presents is made possible by The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation. \nJoin the New York Neo-Futurists for an off-the-wall theater experience at PEM! Watch this experimental ensemble attempt to perform 30 short plays in one hour with The Infinite Wrench. \nEach play offers something different — something funny\, profound\, elegant\, disgusting\, topical\, irrelevant\, terrifying or musical. All are truthful and tackle the here-and-now\, inspired by the lived experiences of the performers. The Infinite Wrench is the Neo-Futurists’ ongoing and ever-changing attempt to shift the conventions of live performance and speak to audiences\, including people who feel “unreached or unmoved” by traditional theater. \nThe New York Neo-Futurists are a radically dynamic ensemble of multidisciplinary artists who write and perform original work rooted in the truth of their own lived experiences. They fuse elements of poetry\, game and performance art to create ever-changing theatre and other artistic experiments to respond to the world around us. \nPEM Presents seeks to surprise and delight audiences with world-class artistry in music\, theater\, dance\, film and more. This series allows audiences to learn about the artistic process and supports the development of artists with local\, regional\, national and global perspectives. PEM Presents further activates the museum as a global center for art\, culture and creativity with artist residencies\, live performances\, lecture series\, symposia and conferences. PEM Presents is a collaboration between Learning and Community Engagement and the Present Tense initiative. \nHappens on the following Dates:\nJun 5\, 2026\, 7:30pm to 9:00pm\nJun 6\, 2026\, 7:30pm to 9:00pm

SUMMARY:The Police Academy Tribute at Larcom
DESCRIPTION:The Police Academy tribute band is one of the few younger acts in the tribute scene\, bringing the energy\, style\, and sound of Sting and The Police at the height of their career. With authentic wardrobe\, strong musicianship\, and undeniable enthusiasm\, they capture everything from the raw\, stripped-down punk edge of The Police’s early records to the polished\, synth-driven pop of their later hits. \nBandmates Joshua Jones\, Jon McCracken\, and Christian Hernandez share the same rock and jazz influence that shaped Sting\, Stewart Copeland\, and Andy Summers\, giving their performance a standout authenticity. With experience in acclaimed tribute acts including Jumping Jack Flash\, Wild Child\, and The Fab Four\, they bring world-class talent\, humor\, and showmanship to every show. \nFrom favorites like “Message in a Bottle” and “Every Breath You Take” to deeper cuts like “Murder by Numbers” and “When the World is Running Down\,” The Police Academy Tribute delivers an exciting\, authentic tribute to one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s. \nThelarcom.org/thepoliceacademy
