Opportunity Playwrights

The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop (SCDW) is calling for original plays to be presented at the Rivoli Theatre from September 8-17

Running time must be no longer than 10 minutes from curtain to curtain (strictly enforced).

All plays have a cast size limited to a maximum of 4 speaking characters. (More characters can be present but in non-speaking roles.)

Plays will be presented in a black box format with minimal set and props. The Producer reserves the right to determine if the chosen plays meet this requirement.

Vulgar language and topics will not be accepted for submission.

Play submissions must be in an electronic format and submitted to the Producer no later than April 15. Plays submitted after that date may not be given consideration.

Two copies of each play must be submitted in PDF format - one identifying the playwright and the file name containing the name of the play and playwright (example: My Play by Harold Tighe.pdf) and one blind copy with no identification as to the author in the script and with blind at the end of the file name (My Play blind.pdf).

Authors will be notified of their play being selected for performance no later than June 30. No more than 2 plays may be submitted by a playwright.

SCDW reserves the right to present the selected plays without payment of a royalty to the author. 16 plays will be selected at the discretion of the Producer and Reading Committee. Each selected play will be performed three times on one weekend.

For more information, contact Harold Tighe at haroldtighe50@gmail.com

Art & Music Lectures at Desmond

April 3, 10:30am

In a period of increasing nationalism, historicized garden buildings brought a range of European architectural styles to America. By imprinting the land with symbols of European culture, landscape gardeners brought the idea of civilization to the American wilderness and helped define gentility in the young nation. These eccentric and playful structures were built throughout the Hudson Valley in the 19th century, with Andrew Jackson Downing playing a key role in the proliferation of the building type.

In Follies in America: A History of Garden and Park Architecture, Kerry Dean Carso, Professor of Art History at SUNY New Paltz, examines historicized garden buildings known as “follies” from the nation’s founding to its centennial celebration in 1876.

April 4, 10:00am

A highly prolific comedian and comedy actor, Peter Sellers left a legacy of great movies and film performances of the mid-decades of the last century.

April 11 at 10:00am

John Williams has created some of the most popular and well-loved film music scores in his career that has been over 50 years in the making. A composer, conductor, and pianist, his career spans over seven decades. With 53 Academy Award nominations, he is the second mostnominated individual, after Walt Disney (64 Oscar nominations).

For The Life & Times of John Williams & His Film Music Scores, DiMartino will explain why Williams’ compositions are considered the epitome of film music, and why he is considered among the greatest composers in the history of cinema.

The Alice Desmond Center for Community Enrichment is located at 6 Albany Post Road, Newburgh.

Opportunity for Everyone

The Liberty Museum & Arts Center invites artists, musicians and others to participate in a June 2023 exhibition entitled Reflections on Father

What does FATHER mean to you?

Does it immediately bring up a favorite song? Do you picture a fond memory of being together? A place that he loved? A painful relationship? A sense of loss? What does it mean to you, personally? Fun you had growing up? Did he take you fishing? To the ball game?

The artwork will be on display at the Museum in June as well as a concert of father-themed songs and a roundtable panel where people can share their memories about their fathers. Fathersto-be are welcome.

Artists in all media, writers, musicians and anyone with memories to share can submit their work and ideas. Artists, makers, writers, musicians and the public may apply. Indicate what your medium is and the nature of the proposal.

Send your ideas and photos if appropriate to the show curator, Naomi Frumess at nfrumessfnp396@gmail. com or call her at 845-807-6656.
