HERE’S SOMETHING TO SCREAM ABOUT

Costumes and candy are back on store shelves, and spooktacular movies are playing on TV and at local cinemas all month. There’s no boo about it, Halloween is just around the corner.

While anything creepy, gross or macabre makes us jump out of our skin, we think the real reason to scream isn’t scary at all — the October performing arts calendar! Case in point, we can’t wait to see the revival of Fiddler on the Roof that’s coming to The Kentucky Center starting on October 18. This groundbreaking musical has become a cultural sensation, delighting audiences of all ages.

We’re also excited to share that the Louisville Orchestra is bringing its Music Without Borders free concert series to various corners of the city starting later this month. Plus, thanks to a $4.3 million grant from the Kentucky General Assembly, LO is making plans to reach audiences all across the Commonwealth during the 2022-23 season and beyond.

Amy Higgs Managing Editor

Also, you don’t want to miss the 25th anniversary celebration of acclaimed a cappella group Straight No Chaser at The Kentucky Center on October 27, one of several great shows brought to you by Kentucky Performing Arts.

Oh, and here’s something to look forward to that’s a little spooky — Kentucky Shakespeare has reimagined Hamlet into a special fall production called Enter Ghost. This unique, immersive experience runs throughout the month of October.

While a live performance or play might be “one and done,” as Dame Maggie says above, for the audiences who have the pleasure of watching them, they will live on forever in memory. (OK, so maybe they are like ghosts, after all.)

Thanks, as always, to our faithful advertisers who allow us to bring you the stories of these “spirited” performances (see what we did there?) free of charge each month. We’ll see you at the show!

As the veil, er, we mean curtain, rises,

PERFORMANCE PREVIEW

Afiddler

on the roof. Sounds crazy, no?

On October 18, 2022, the timeless production, Fiddler on the Roof makes its way to The Kentucky Center for eight performances of theatrical mastery. The 10-time Tony Award-winning musical runs for two hours and 55 minutes and includes one intermission. It’s recommended for audiences ages 8 and up.

The story follows the poor milkman, Tevye, and his blunt wife, Golde, who live in the village of Anatevka in Imperial Russia circa 1905. Despite the anti-semitic climate of the time, Tevye and his family remain firm in their Jewish faith and traditions. But when Tevye's daughters begin to challenge his authority by falling in love and seeking permission to marry men to whom they weren't matched, Tevye and Golde must decide whether to hold on to the past or open themselves up to a new (and imminent) future.

Featuring musical hits you know and love, such as "Tradition," "To Life (L'Chaim!)," and "If I Were A Rich Man," Fiddler on the Roof tells a heartwarming story of fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, and life, love, and laughter. The performance features a lavish live orchestra and mind-blowing new cast to delight new and seasoned theater-goers alike.

A CULTURAL PHENOMENON

In 1964, Fiddler on the Roof made its Broadway debut, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. The brainchild of composer Jerry Bock, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, and book writer Joseph Stein, Fiddler on the Roof is based on stories by Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem and set in the early 1900s in Tsarist Russia.

Fiddler on the Roof was groundbreaking in its use of traditional Jewish music. It also dealt with taboo subjects for its time, such as arranged marriages, poverty, religious persecution, and cultural assimilation.

In fact, some original investors in the piece worried that Fiddler on the Roof might be too close to its Jewish roots to appeal to a mainstream audience. At the same time, others criticized the production as being too "culturally sanitized." Yet, as one of the first post-Holocaust productions of its time, the tale captures depictions of a time that came close to being eradicated by one of the darkest times in human history.

Despite its serious themes, Fiddler on the Roof is also a funny and heartwarming story about family, community, and the importance of tradition.

Award-winning director Bartlett Sher offers a fresh take on the original masterpiece by Joseph Stein, Jerry Bock, and Seldon Harnick in this 2022-23 tour of the United States and Canada. He brings along his team from the 2017 Tony-winning Best Play Oslo to produce a show worthy of audiences new and old.

Sher has been described by the New York Times as "one of the most original and exciting directors." With nine Tony Award nominations, a Tony for Best Direction of a Musical, and a Drama Desk Award for the direction of the Broadway revival of South Pacific, you won't want to miss the chance to see his work come to life before your eyes.

"One thing Bartlett Sher does with every piece he attacks, he tries to do it as though it's never been done before," says Maite Uzal, who stars as Tevye's sharp-tongued wife, Golde.

"When he digs into the primary sources for the show, you get a production like ours. It's more grounded and raw than other productions have been in the past — it's very earthy."

Keeping the story's original intent in mind, Sher strips the Pale of Settlement of all ornament, leaving only what's needed on stage to bring the world of Fiddler on the Roof to life. The resulting performance is authentically accurate and faithful to the original text and music — one that will leave a powerful impression on viewers.

A TIMELESS TALE

It's no coincidence that Fiddler on the Roof holds a special Tony for being one of the longest-running Broadway musicals of all time — though the story may take place in Imperial Russia at the turn of the 20th century, it is one that tells of the timeless struggle between tradition, faith, and the inevitable ushering in of change.

"The text is so timeless, and the elements of conflict are so relevant,” says Uzal. “The story being told is relevant to anyone who goes to the theater. Who hasn't had a conflict in their family? We can all relate to older generations trying to preserve certain things while the newer generations try to change things.

"Whether we're talking about a person in the LGBTQ community coming out to their family, or someone grappling with their faith, or any refugee in the world — those elements are so powerful and will continue to exist in the narrative of humankind. They will always resonate if you let them resonate," Uzal adds.

With the help of renowned Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter, this Broadway revival also puts a new spin on the original choreography with stunning movement and dance.

Shechter, who is best known for being the artistic director of his self-named dance company, was Tony Award-nominated for Best Choreography for his work on Fiddler on the Roof. In addition, he's credited with significant works such as Untouchable, which was commissioned by The Royal Ballet, and Orphee et Eurydice, a Royal Opera House Production. He's also been named as one of The Stage's 100 Most Influential People in Theatre.

"The choreography has been revisited," Uzal says. "The bones and original iconic moments are still there. However, Hofesh has reimagined it and brought back an element of raw folk, rooting it back in the tradition of the Jewish culture. The combination of what Bartlett Sher and Hofesh Shecter have done to ground the piece is really powerful."

OLD VS. NEW WORLD

As the headstrong wife of Tevye, Maite Uzal's character, Golde, is the rock that holds their family together through thick and thin.

"Golde is like any role in Fiddler — a true gift to an actor. I'm enamored with her. She goes through every single possible emotion that you can imagine. Her arc is quite compelling, and it's all driven by faith."

As a traditionalist, Golde is forever faced with the challenges of navigating the new world with old-world values.

"Golde always has a sense of humor, and I'm not even sure she's always aware of it,” Uzal says. “I think that's naturally who she is. She has no self-awareness; she just speaks up and says how she feels."

Uzal has found that Golde opened up new doors for her as an actress and has challenged her to understand the world in ways she's never never thought possible.

"I'm in awe of motherhood; I've understood so many more things about why mothers behave the way they do. It has cracked my brain open to a world that I have not experienced."

Uzal is no stranger to the stage, with credits ranging from Broadway productions like Hippolytus and Death of a Salesman to short films and bilingual children's TV shows like Trash Bash

A STELLAR CAST

Starring alongside Uzal is Israeli-born actor Jonathan Hashmonay as Tevye, Golde's husband of 25 years. As a descendant of Holocaust survivors, Hashmonay describes Tevye as his "dream role." Hashmonay brings experience from productions such as Clybourne Park, Frog and Toad, and 110 in the Shade.

Tevye is the "everyman" of the story. The humble milkman hopes to marry off his five daughters (Tzeitel, Hodel, Chava, Shprintze, and Bielke) while keeping his traditions alive in a rapidly changing world. He's a man of faith who is put to the test time and time again, but he never wavers in his love for family, friends, and God.

The role of wealthy butcher Lazar Wolfe is brought to the stage by Andrew Hendrick, whose credits include Kinky Boots, Bullets Over Broadway, and Jekyll and Hyde. At 60 years old, Lazar asks for young Tzeitel's hand in marriage after seeing her in his shop every week — a testament to the outdated traditions of marriage that permeated cultural norms at the time. But things go awry after Tevye initially agrees to marry Tzeitel, only to be met with protest when Tzeitel insists on making her own match.

Mary Beth Webber plays Anatevka's traditional marriage matchmaker, Yente. A nosey gossip by nature, Yente spends her days meddling in other people's business. Webber brings experience from performances such as Steel Magnolias, The Sound of Music, and Children of Eden

Randa Meierhenry is cast as Golde and Tevye's eldest daughter, Tzeitel, the center of much of the conflict of Fiddler on the Roof. Although betrothed to the wealthy butcher Lazar Wolfe, she is deeply in love with Motel (played by Daniel Kushner).

Meierhenry has performed in productions such as Godspell, Smokey Joe's Cafe, and The Who's Tommy.

Tevye and Golde's second daughter, Hodel, played by Graceann Kontak, also stirs the proverbial pot when she gets engaged to Perchik (played by Austin J. Gresham). The two defy tradition by making their own match, especially since Perchik plans to leave to work for the revolution immediately following their engagement.

The 2022-23 Fiddler on the Roof tour also welcomes Yarden Barr as Chava, Gabriella Green as Bielke, and, making his national tour debut, Carson Robinette as Fyedka.

"Without tradition, our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof," Tevye professes in the opening number — a sentiment to which we can all agree to some extent.

"I promise that watching Fiddler on the Roof will make you a better person to your community,” Uzal says of the production. “Danny Burstein, who originated this role in our production, said that the role made him a better father. Besides being blown away by the music and dance, the story calls for empathy and love. It will make anyone who watches walk out of the theater a better member of their community."

Don't miss your chance to see this classic musical come to life once again. Grab your tickets now while they last.

Fiddler on the Roof is at The Kentucky Center from October 18 to 23. Tickets start at $49 and are available at louisville.broadway.com.

FROM LOGAN STREET TO LIBRARIES

by Bill Doolittle

T

he more it happens, the more Louisville Orchestra concertmaster Gabe Lefkowitz appreciates the feedback he receives when the symphony gets out and about in the community. Transporting its symphonic sound from the formal stage of Whitney Hall to less assuming neighborhood venues and smaller concert halls gives audiences the chance to get up close to the musicians, and closer to the music.

"The one thing I hear with great enthusiasm during the Music Without Borders concerts, is ‘Wow, I’ve never been that close to an orchestra and that close to the action — to see in detail what you are doing,’ ” says Lefkowitz. “It’s a feedback I am so grateful for. Something we don’t experience so much in a larger concert hall.”

The Louisville Orchestra, and music director Teddy Abrams, have been shaping the Music Without Borders series in various ways, and in various places, for several years. Perfecting the format. This season it is combining all its away-from-Whitney concerts, including daytime concerts at Louisville libraries, and concerts across the state under one outreach umbrella.

And it will all be free.

“The direction of orchestras is something to watch,” says Lefkowitz, who is in his seventh year leading the orchestra from his first chair violinist seat. “Teddy Abrams has very strong ideas about what an orchestra can be, and how it can serve its city best. The role of an orchestra has evolved over the past 50 years, from its primary function to put on formal concerts in a concert hall — we’re still going to be doing that, of course — but also explore ways to get out into the community in various configurations. To serve the city that way.”

Central to the season are the nine concerts in the Music Without Borders series, with three concerts each in three different parts of the city:

• The California Community Center, in California Park, 1600 West St. Catherine Street

• Logan Street Market, 1001 Logan Street, in Shelby Park

• The Jeffersonian, 10617 Taylorsville Rd., in Jeffersontown

Other sites may be selected in succeeding years to spread the music throughout the community.

The series begins October 27, 28 and 29, at the three sites, with Abrams conducting the rousing “Finlandia,” by Jean Sibelius, “Symphony No. 9,” by Dmitri Shostakovich, and “Fictional Migrations,” by Lisa Bielawa, one of the orchestra’s new Creators Corps of composers. That line-up of compositions gives one an idea of the scope of Music Without Borders programming — from serious to popular, old to new. The second three-concert set comes in February, with Lefkowitz conducting. The third is in March, with Kelly Corcoran conducting. For a list of concert dates and programs please visit the orchestra’s website Louisvilleorchestra.org

 LO musicians performed for families at the Portland Library.

Louisville Orchestra's Concertmaster, Gabe Lefkowitz will conduct the Music Without Borders concert in February.

STORYTELLING WITH MUSIC

The orchestra is also continuing its Once Upon an Orchestra concerts in conjunction with the Louisville Free Public Library. Last year, 21 storytelling-with-music programs were presented by LO ensembles and reached every library in the LFPL system.

Orchestra musicians and narrators weave music and storytelling into an interactive experience built around beloved children’s stories. The programs, designed by librarians and Louisville Orchestra Education and Community Engagement Director Sarah Lempke O’Hare, include hands-on activities, such as building a musical instrument from recycled materials. And the programs tie into the LFPL’s 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge

Composers TJ Cole and Tyler Taylor, from the LO Creators Corps, are developing new musical scores to highlight such famous children’s books as Where The Wild Things Are, Peter and the Wolf and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Mayor Greg Fischer describes the Once Upon an Orchestra series as a family-oriented affair, reaching across the community through the city’s excellent library system.

"This partnership of the city and the orchestra is a commitment to the health, well-being and healing of the neighborhoods and people of our community,” says Fischer. “Working across agencies ensures a sustainability of impact that none of us are able to accomplish on our own.”

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

In what might be termed a return to yesteryear, the Louisville Orchestra has received a $4.3 million grant from the Kentucky General Assembly to resume presentation of concerts throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Something it did decades ago.

The barnstorming is set to begin in the spring of 2023. Sites range from Pikeville, in the easternmost part of the state, to Mayfield, in the Commonwealth’s farthest western region. Mayfield, of course, was delivered a devastating blow by a wave of enormous tornados that crashed through Western Kentucky in 2021 — but is now steadfastly rebuilding. That process provides a reminder that it is not just homes and buildings that are blown away in such events, but also things of personal nature that are essential to quality of life, such as eyeglasses and hearing aids and dentures that disappear in the winds and wash down the river in floods. Beyond the orchestra grant, the General Assembly also funded, for example, Louisville’s Heuser Hearing Institute to expand its services to tornado and flooding victims.

Speaker of the House David Osborne believes the orchestra adds more to life for Kentuckians than merely a regional concert. It’s spreading artistic culture.

“I look forward to seeing this series become reality,” says Osborne. “Our investment provides a unique opportunity to bring the incredible music of the Louisville Orchestra to communities throughout the state while honoring the talent in each region,”

Jefferson county senator Julie Raque Adams agrees.

“Teddy’s vision to engage students through collaboration and performances across our Commonwealth provides a welltimed opportunity to celebrate what unites us — our love and appreciation for great Kentucky music!” says Raque Adams.

Abrams believes music can celebrate the commonalities of Kentuckians.

“Kentucky is famous around the world for its outsize contributions to music in so many genres—from bluegrass to rock, rap, and (of course) orchestral music,” says Abrams. “So we developed the idea of taking the Louisville Orchestra throughout the Commonwealth, from the smallest communities to larger cities, to collaborate and share music-making with our fellow Kentuckians living in every part of the state.

Just a few of today’s LO musicians were performing under the baton of conductor Jorge Mester in his first term with the Louisville Orchestra in the 1970’s, when the symphony regularly packed up its instruments and hopped on busses that took it for overnight journeys around the state. Of course, each venue had its own stage, its own acoustics — its difficulties and its charms. But the travel could also be a fun change-of-pace for the musicians. Like a college marching band taking it on the road to a football rival. Or just time to read a book. A couple veterans of those tours recall a “friendly” poker game that would mysteriously pop up in the back of the bus.

Lefkowitz says he looks forward to all of it.

“Just in my short time here,” says Lefkowitz, “we have explored a variety of different venues. We’ve played in churches and synagogues, and in community centers like The Jeffersonian. I think the Logan Street Market will be especially fun. We’ve also played in some in fine concert halls, such as the Ogle Center, at Indiana University Southeast. And in a completely different atmosphere at Paristown Hall.”

"But always," he adds, "there is something personal about the performances."

“It’s not just the musical sound, you know. It’s the incredible experience where the listeners are sometimes actually seeing over our shoulders. See the music we’re reading. See the technical nitty-gritty of how we make the sounds we make.”

And maybe get the feel of what it’s like to be in the ensemble that’s sewing those sounds together as a symphony.

“The audience members, they can really see us,” says Lefkowitz. “Sometimes so close they can see me sweat – and like to remind me of it!

I hope not too much."

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: MAGGIE HABERMAN

Kentucky Author Forum is thrilled to be back in action with its 26th season in 2022-23. The next Forum on Monday, November 21, in The Kentucky Center’s Bomhard Theater, will feature The New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman, and her book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America” (Penguin Press, October 2022)

disturbing reckoning that chronicles his life and its meaning from his rise in New York City to his tortured post-presidency.

The New York Times’ Joe Klein says, “This is a book more notable for the quality of its observations about Trump’s character than for its newsbreaks. It will be a primary source about the most vexing president in American history for years to come.”

In addition to her Pulitzer Prizes, Haberman has received the individual Aldo Beckman Award for Journalistic Excellence award from the White House Correspondents' Association, and the Front Page Award for Journalist of the Year from the Newswomen's Club of New York. Before joining The New York Times as a campaign correspondent, she worked as a political reporter at Politico from 2010 to 2015. She previously worked at the New York Post and the New York Daily News.

Haberman joined The New York Times in 2015 and was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for reporting on the investigations into Trump and his advisors’ connections to Russia. She has twice been a member of a team that was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize — in 2021 for reporting on the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus, and in 2022 for coverage related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

“Confidence Man” is a meticulously researched book, based on hundreds of interviews. Haberman reveals in full a deep understanding of the 45th president, and of what the Trump phenomenon means. “Confidence Man” is the definitive account of one of the most norm-shattering and consequential eras in American political history.

On a recent CBS Sunday Morning program, Haberman explained to John Dickerson that Trump “saw the presidency as the ultimate vehicle to fame.” Her book offers a deep dive into the psyche and actions of Donald Trump. It is a magnificent and

On November 21, Haberman will be interviewed on stage in Louisville by CNN’s Laura Coates. Coates is a former federal prosecutor and CNN senior legal analyst who specializes in the intersection of civil rights and criminal prosecution.

Kentucky Author Forum interviews are filmed by KET and distributed nationally on PBS affiliates as Great Conversations. Events on November 21 include a wine and cheese reception with Carmichael’s book sale at 5 p.m., the interview in the Bomhard Theater at 6 p.m., followed by dinner with the author at the Muhammad Ali Center afterwards.

GIVING UP THE GHOST

by Kentucky Shakespeare

Continuing

a fall performance tradition, Kentucky Shakespeare presents Enter Ghost: An Immersive Haunted Hamlet Experience during the month of October, just in time for Halloween.

Kentucky Shakespeare commissioned playwrights Diana Grisanti and Steve Moulds to create this thrilling production, alongside Producing Artistic Director, Matt Wallace. Utilizing silent disco headphone technology, audience members will participate in an interactive experience inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet

The show runs from October 5 to 30 at Kentucky Shakespeare’s headquarters in Old Louisville, 616 Myrtle St.

During the production, audience members will wear provided headphones and travel to various indoor locations (with breaks to sit down, periodically). Running time is approximately one hour with no intermission. Due to close proximity to actors and the intimate audience setting, Kentucky Shakespeare will require audience members to wear face masks. If this policy changes, ticket holders will be contacted in advance.

The production is directed by Wallace, marking the start of his 10th season as Producing Artistic Director of Kentucky Shakespeare, and features an eight-member ensemble cast: Adama Abramson, Brennen Amonett, Zachary Burrell, Jon Huffman, Justin M. Jackson, Gregory Maupin, Mollie Murk, and Cherrie Vaughn.

Jesse AlFord is the Lighting Designer, Karl Anderson is the Scenic Designer, Donna Lawrence-Downs is the Costume Designer, and Laura Ellis is the Sound Designer, with fight choreography by Eric Frantz and movement choreography by Amberly M. Simpson.

NATURAL BRIDGE STATE RESORT PARK

Kentucky's Autumn Paradise

The famous sandstone arch, Natural Bridge, has drawn travelers from around the country. While there are other natural archways in the area, none have gained the prominence of the spectacular work of nature located within Natural Bridge State Resort Park in Slade, Ky.

Today, those traveling to experience Natural Bridge have more than just trails and a campground to support their outdoor explorations. Hemlock Lodge, built in 1962, houses 35 rooms, each with a mini fridge and a private balcony overlooking the pool and Hoedown Island.

Visitors can enjoy the lodge’s Sandstone Arches Restaurant, where they can savor traditional American cuisine while taking in the wooded view with birds and squirrels at the window feeders. Kentucky Proud wines, ales, and bourbons are served in the restaurant and Trails End Tavern. Guests can also stay in oneor two-bedroom cottages nestled in the mountainside, providing a more private getaway with all the conveniences of home.

While Natural Bridge is accessible by sky lift, the geological wonderland surrounding the bridge has a fantastic diversity of plant and animal life best seen up close and personal through various trail options. More than 20 miles of park trails link to the

Red River Gorge trail system by sections of the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail.

There is no wrong season to visit the Natural Bridge State Resort Park, but autumn, in all its splendor, transforms the park into a golden paradise.

Kentucky is home to 45 state parks, including 17 resort parks with restaurants, 30 campgrounds, and 13 golf courses. For more information about Kentucky State Parks, visit parks.ky.gov.
