SUPPORT THE ARTS –
Mar. 12, 2026 – A new play at Blackfriars Theatre called “The White Chip” (https://www.wxxinews.org/show/connections/2026-03-12/stories-of-addiction-and-recovery) tells the story of one man’s struggle living with addiction and his path to recovery. Our guests tell us what we can learn from the play — and from lived experience. In studio:
Matt Ames, director of “The White Chip”
Katelyn Machnica, Actor #1 in “The White Chip”
Then in our second hour, a local house ravaged by fire last year has made a list of properties identified for the potential for revitalization. The Morgan-Manning House in Brockport suffered significant damage after a fire in January 2025. The Landmark Society of Western New York has named it and four other entities as its 2026 “Five to Revive.” This hour, we continue an annual tradition of discussing the Landmark Society’s five selections, while exploring the latest in preservation work and why it matters.
