Standup Comedian Jack Simmons has brought his play "Buddy's Gift" to Huntington. The one man comedy play takes a light-hearted look at what Simmons calls is his real life family experience with afterlife communication from his father in 1999. The play takes the viewer with Simmons as he recounts the jouney of his family from skeptics to believers Simmons says you don't necessarily have to believe in afterlife communication to enjoy the play. The subject is a little hard for some people to believe, but Simmons says he's not there to evangelize viewers, but rather hopes that they walk away "with a great story and the possibility these things do exist."

Reception to be held Jan. 14th 2-4 p.m. at the Alfred Van Loen Gallery.
The Pop Art movement diffused to the United States from Great Britain in the late 1950s, an early remnant of the "British Invasion" era in pop culture. The phenomenon will be brought back to the spotlight this month, as paintings by artist Bruce Laird go on display. The South Huntington Public Library will host the artist's reception on Saturday at the Alfred Van Loen Gallery to commemorate the opening of "Memories Fulfilled," featuring 20 Pop Art paintings, all by Laird. Laird's approach to painting is shown through the use of the grid, which blends artistic elements and neon colors into unique creations, often nostalgic, evoking happy and simple times. SPHL Curator Deborah Katz is excited for the exhibit's arrival. "It's a free …
