New theater planned for downtown Canandaigua. Here's where | Exclusive

Sure, the building on Coach Street in Downtown Canandaigua that Nils and Amy Swanson are renovating is small. But the community theater playhouse the couple opened several years ago in Westchester County was smaller than this one. The COVID-19 pandemic, which ended their project after two performances, resulted in their move to Canandaigua. They brought the show with them. They are now in the process of renovating a small building that housed a dog-grooming business in the hopes of opening their small playhouse by spring. A sequel, if you will, to their opening act. Their Forall Theater Co. may fill a niche in Canandaigua and Finger Lakes region, as their stage and productions will be on a smaller scale than the nearby Fort Hill Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua and Bristol Valley Theater in Naples. "We'll have the most intimate space in the Finger Lakes, at least to start with," Amy Swanson said. A background in theater Both work remotely; Amy in information technology and Nils in shipping and receiving for a company that furnishes luxury resorts and hotels. Theater is in their roots, and both have been acting since their early teens. Classically trained, Nils said he's acted in

Corning native, combat vet Jason Shaddock shares Veterans Day lessons

Hundreds came to honor servicemen and women Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Corning's annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Park, off Park Avenue. Brian Francis, commander of the Corning American Legion and a retired U.S. Army veteran with 26 years of service, emphasized the role of military service in safeguarding fundamental freedoms. "It is a soldier, not a poet who has given up freedom of speech," Francis said. "It is a soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us freedom to demonstrate. It is a soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." Francis said these liberties were earned through the sacrifices and service of those who defended the nation. Jason Shaddock, Deputy Commissioner for New York State Department of Veterans Service and combat veteran of the United State Marine Corps and the United States Army, thanked the Corning American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4218 for co-sponsoring the Veterans Day event. "As a native of Corning, is especially meaningful to be here today," Shaddock said while speaking at the Veterans Memorial Park event. "I know the character of the people of the Southern Tier. I
