The Phoenicia Playhouse presents the first concert in our Local Musician Series, as part of our 50th Season, the ingenious Brazilian jazz musician - Alexia Bomtempo - Live in Concert!

Alexia Bomtempo is an artist of multiple worlds. The Brazilian-American singer and songwriter has been heralded by The Washington Post as a "top-shelf Brazilian jazz musician" and has released five critically acclaimed albums as a solo artist. Highlighted on NPR Music's All Songs Considered, her most recent album, Doce Carnaval, is a love letter to the timeless soundtrack of Brazilian Carnaval.

10 Church Street
Phoenicia, NY 12464

Born to an American mother and a concert-promoter Brazilian father, Alexia was raised in the beach culture of Rio de Janeiro, while traveling to America frequently over the years. Since relocating back to New York City, Alexia has fully embraced, challenged, and redefined the Northern half of her American artistic roots. Her sound is individual and confidently feminine, navigating genres ranging from classic American song to exploratory Tropicália.

Tickets available at the door or in advance here.

Who We Are

The Phoenicia Playhouse is the home of the Shandaken Theatrical Society, a 50-year-old not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing community theater to Shandaken and surrounding communities. Located at 10 Church Street in the heart of Phoenicia, the theater was constructed in 1887 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Over the years it has housed the original charitable and fraternal organization, an auction house, and a movie house. It is now one of the Catskill region’s longest-lived art organizations. The Playhouse has been an important resource for our community for 138 years. Our goal is to keep it thriving for artists and patrons of future generations.

Our Mission

The Phoenicia Playhouse is a performing arts organization that strengthens, invigorates and promotes the Catskills community. Our mission is three-fold: We produce shows, provide a venue for other shows and events, and create educational opportunities through youth and adult workshops. We are committed to drawing residents (full-time and part-time) and travelers together through the experience of the arts. “Community” is the most important part of “Community Theater”.
