FROM THE PUBLISHER... by Barry Plaxen Erratum: In our May 2019 issue I confused the names Ilya Yakushev (who has performed numerous times in Middletown for SUNY Orange Cultural Affairs and in Milford for Kindred Spirits Arts) and Ilya Kazantsev (who has performed for Grand Montgomery Chamber Music and for Shandelee Music Festival in both Bethel and Livingston Manor).

MAY I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU ... Quips, Quotes & Quiddities with Carol Pozefsky “One Who Loves Reading has Everything in Reach” Like the haunting lyrics of a favorite ballad or the fragrance of lilacs, a particular book we’ve read may linger in memory and forever change our lives. John F. Kennedy singled out Stendhal’s The Red and The Black as the book which most deeply effected his life and to which he most often returned. Denzel Washington chose Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, the story of a young man’s search for spiritual enlightenment. Will Smith selected The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo...A reviewer wrote of it: “Buy or borrow this book for an inspirational read.” Angelina Jolie chose Vlad the Impaler, In Search of the Real Dracula by M.J. Trow and Natalie Portman’s favorite was The Diary of Anne Frank.

Canadian columnist Herb Martindale, suggested these amusing improved spellings of words we all know: Extraa, superfluuous, maximuum, excesss, and glutt. Followers of Jeopardy either complain or applaud the fact that, in recent years, the pop culture questions seem to outnumber the more traditional school subjects such as history, geography and science. To distinguish between the two, a word inventor suggests we call pop culture trivia, the more traditional subjects, significa*. A mischievous wordsmith changed the spelling of ‘rendezvous’ to ‘rendezwoo’ to define a get-together arranged strictly for romance. In the days of early television, a sportswriter coined the word ‘vidiot’ for a person who watched anything that flickered across the tv screen. Does the term still apply? Blackfoot warrior and orator Crowfoot spoke his last words in 1890: “What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”

“The Healing Stage” Sculpture Series In the works for two years, The Healing Stage, a steel sculpture series by AGRISCULPTURE, is now officially home at Orange Regional Medical Center (ORMC). Commissioned by the Hospital to be sited on the second floor roof ledge, this series of seven steel sculptures sits outside the main patient waiting room and is designed to be viewed by those inside through a glass curtain wall. Measuring 55 feet long and between 4 to 6 feet tall, The Healing Stage can be found at

the Northwestern corner above the Café entrance. Developed to celebrate natural elements found in the interior design of the waiting room and connect them with the tree line beyond ORMC, the work can best be described as a metal landscape with trees, flowers, birds, rolling hills and a vast lake. It is the landscape of Orange County, and it invites you to wander in its woods, fields, mountains and waterways. For further information about The Healing Stage: www.agrisculpture.com

4 Pastelists Exhibit at Crawford House Cathy Cahill, Lily Norton, Judy Byrne, and Cathy Prager have been painting for several years, exhibiting their works separately, winning honors and awards at various shows, as well as together as the 4 Pastelists. “I like putting my hands directly in the colors; it’s the most direct expression I can think of. You can literally see the fingerprint of the artist in the work,” says Cathy Prager. Cathy Cahill finds pastels to be “tactile, luminous, vivid, and forgiving.” She enjoys “the play between light and shadow, the subtle and vivid reflections of color in water, sunrises and sunsets.” Judy Byrne says that she “loves the tactile feel of applying pastel to paper and board and then watching the colors build and the 4

I love the colors, textures and forms of the trees, flowers, streams and birds,” says Lily Norton. The 4 Pastelists will display their landscapes and still lifes at the Crawford House, home of the Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands, 189 Montgomery Street, Newburgh, Sundays through September from 1:00pm-4:00pm or by appointment.

SC Chorus: Another Great Forrest Work The Sullivan County Community Chorus (SCCC), now in its 43rd year and currently under the direction of Kevin Giroux, performed Dan Forrest’s masterpiece Requiem for the Living in Carnegie Hall on Memorial Day Weekend. Local concertgoers will remember the moving performances of Forrest’s Requiem sung by both the SCCC and Orange County’s Classic Choral Society in 2015 and 2014, respectively. For its spring concert, the SCCC will sing Forrest’s sweeping Jubilate Deo for which Giroux is “letting out all the stops” with a large orchestra of talented musicians, including some who specialize in native instruments (e.g., the Chinese “ehru” violin and the African “djembe” drum) that will be played for various numbers.

“I think that Jubilate Deo is even more beautiful than Requiem for the Living. It’s definitely more challenging; it’s sung in seven languages and encompasses a huge range of musical styles,” said SCCC soprano Mary Burkart. Accompanied by a large, impressive regional orchestra, Forrest’s piece, and other works, will be performed at the Bernstein Theater at Tri-Valley Central School, 34 Moore Hill Road in Grahamsville on June 9 at 3:00pm. http://scchorus.org/

The Hudson Valley Performing Arts Foundation’s Chamber Music Series is welcoming New York Philharmonic members for a very special afternoon program. The truly virtuosic ensemble will be performing Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A, and Brahms’ String Quartet in A minor Op. 51, no.2. “The Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in A-major, K.581 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is unquestionably a timeless musical masterpiece. Written in 1789, the quintet was groundbreaking for a number of reasons. To my knowledge, this was the first composition written for clarinet and string quartet. Mozart set the bar very high, but the beautiful blend and unique timbre of this instrumental combination has inspired many composers since the 1789 premiere. One must simply listen to this piece only once to be enraptured

by this magnificent music written by arguably the greatest musical mind who ever lived.” - Mitchell Estrin, Vandoren Resoures Brahms regarded the string quartet as a particularly important genre. He reportedly destroyed some twenty string quartets before allowing the two Op. 51 quartets to be published. The A minor quartet has a final movement modeled on a Hungarian folk dance, in this case a czárdás. With all the movements in A minor or A major, the String Quartet No. 2 is therefore “homotonal”. The Mulder Chapel at the Warwick Conference Center, 62 Warwick Center Road, is the perfect intimate setting to experience this exquisite music performed by world renowned musicians, on June 2 at 2:00pm.

Hudson Opera Theatre: “Madama Butterfly”, June 1 & 2 Maestro Ron De Fesi writes: It was quite customary in Japan, at the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th, for military, diplomats, businessmen, among others, to enter into formal, “temporary” marriages with young Japanese women for the duration of their stay in the Nipponese empire. It was fully sanctioned by the government (witness the wedding ceremony in Act I overseen by the Imperial Commissioner, the Registrar, and the American consul). So, while this practice might offend our 21st century western cultural mores, it was a bona fide practice at the time. I guess you’d also have to admit that this sort of thing has gone on since the beginning of history with or without the Japanese formality. Think of the 23,000 or so children of Vietnamese mothers and American fathers who were brought to this country in the late 80’s and 90’s by the Amerasian Homecoming Act. Puccini’s opera is based on a play by David Belasco which Puccini saw in 1900, which in turn had been based on a novella by John Luther Long which contained memoirs from his sister who had been a missionary in Japan and told the tale of young Cho-san, Miss Butterfly, a tea house girl who had a small child and was abandoned by her lover who, before leaving, had arranged to come back a designated time, even going so far as

Delaware & Hudson CANVAS

to arrange a signal by which she would be apprised of his return. But, of course he never did. And into this story, Long had incorporated points from an earlier book, Madame Chrysanthème, by Pierre Loti (who himself had been a French naval officer and had a “temporary wife” while stationed in Japan). Pierre is every bit as callous as the Pinkerton of Puccini’s first Act. Chrysanthème is practical, unemotional and perfectly pleased with the arrangement. They part amicably; the final scenes portray the geisha testing the silver dollars she received in fulfillment of the marriage contract and a rather tepid farewell. While these are the roots of the opera, Puccini, always enamored of his heroines, makes the story about Butterfly herself. He gives her to us in so many glimpses of her soul that we have trouble ever believing that she is not the real deal. She, too, is practical, but she utterly believes in Pinkerton - in her marriage. She gives him herself - body, mind and soul. She gives up family, culture, religion for him. From the far-away shimmering of her voice as she crests the hill on her wedding day, we are convinced there is something special in this young woman. She is gracious, flirty, witty, and in love. She shares her most precious thoughts and objects with her husband, and despite his impatience, she seizes every moment, every nuance of their wedding night

GNSO: Mahler & Vaughan-Williams Gustav Mahler has become the most popular symphonist since Beethoven. His music routinely sells out concert halls throughout the world and yet he has remained absent from Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra (GNSO) programs. Until now! An exhilarating musical offering, The Traveler and the Titan, combines Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer with his Symphony No. 1 nicknamed, ‘Titan’. Both of these were composed concurrently and dip from

the same musical well. To round out the roving adventures is another ode to the Romantic notion of the wandering artiste, Ralph VaughanWilliams’ Songs of Travel. Maestro Russell Ger (see photo) conducts the GNSO on June 22 at 7:30pm (Shacklett concert preview: 6:30pm) at Aquinas Hall, Mount Saint Mary College, 330 Powell Avenue, Newburgh.

he says. “As a teen in 1967, I saw Gary Burton, Larry Coryell, and Jimi Hendrix live in 50-seat Village clubs. Jazz pushes you to live in the moment, where life is most intense.” The inaugural concert will feature chart-topping guitarist Dave Stryker (see photo) along with Jared Gold on Hammond B3 organ and Darrell Green on drums on June 1 at 7:00pm. The trio will perform tunes from Dave’s new CD, Eight Track III, a jazzy take on classic 70’s popsoul tunes by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Steely Dan.

“Qualia Holometaboly” in Hurleyville Qualia Holometaboly by Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya with the LEIMAY Ensemble is an installation-performance consisting of a series of kinetic stringsculptures powered by performers’ bodies. The work allows for multiple interplays between the environment, the materials of the body, and the sculpture. Performed by three members of LEIMAY with an original sound score by Jeremy D. Slater, Qualia Holometaboly was first presented at the Brooklyn Museum in 2014. This is what the New York Times said about it: “The most notable exception to the problem of dance divorced from its environment was a kinetic installation by LEIMAY in the grand Beaux-Arts Court. Four towering, delicate tents of iridescent white string, suspended from the high ceiling, each housed one statuesque, slow-moving dancer in white. A line reached from each performer’s back to the peak of his or her tent, so that any sudden motion - frog-like jumps, abrupt collapsing - caused the structure to pulsate or quake: the body an extension of its habitat, and vice versa.” The Hurleyville Arts Centre (HAC) located at 200 Main Street, presents LEIMAY: Qualia Holometaboly on June 22 at 6:00pm. A workshop, Leimay Ludus Class: From Water to Becoming led by Ximena Garnica

LEIMAY Qualia Holometaboly in Colombia. Photo by Juan Paulhiac.

takes place on June 23 at 10:30am. This class is open to anybody curious about movement, imagination and transformation as a state of being. Participants will be exposed to some of the aspects of the LEIMAY Ludus movement practice. No movement/dance experience is needed. The class will be followed by a potluck and conversation among participants and community members. “Ludus” is the underlying methodology of Ximena Garnica, Shige Moriya and the LEIMAY. It cultivates imagination and a heightened awareness of gravity, friction, and weight. It nourishes deep states of listening and explores potential connections between the body’s materiality, voice and thoughts, between spaces and materials, revealing domains of transformation and potentiality. Tickets and information available at hurleyvilleartscentre.org or 845-707-8047.

Weekend of Chamber Music, June 2 - Speaking Cello: 21st Century Composers by Philip Ehrensaft Ever since the modern cello emerged from the “golden age of the violin” workshops of late 17th century Italy, composers have been intrigued by creating solo works for this wondrously expressive and expansive instrument. Caroline Stinson, co-director of Sullivan County’s Weekend of Chamber Music Festival, will give two successive performances of a concert program that struts the innovative stuff that 21st century composers have created for solo cello. Spoken Music: Music Shaped and Patterned by the Rhythms of Language, the concert’s title, represents a specific perspective in Stinson’s choices of composers and compositions. “String players,” she explained to me during an interview, “constantly refer to their instrument’s sounds in vocal terms: as voicing specific emotions and voicing specific stories.” Stinson’s program presents composers who capitalize on this vocal take on playing violins, violas, cellos and double-basses. The composers whose works were chosen represent a good sampling of the most interesting living composers, or composers who passed away at the beginning of the 21st century and kept going until their final days. The pieces that Stinson will perform

are mostly lesser known, but not lesser creations for solo cello by these major contemporary composers. In two instances the cellist must not only perform demanding music Caroline Stinson but also recite poetry as she plays: Louis Andriessen, La Voce (1981); and Peter Eötvös, Two Poems to Polly (1998). In the case of La Voce, by Italy’s major post-1945 poet, Cesare Pavese, Stinson must recite the poem in the original Italian: a challenge which is not for the faint of heart. Three pieces on the concert program are by Eastern or Central European composers whose melding of musical and linguistic patterns are especially pronounced. Languages like Czech or Hungarian emphasize different successive components of sentences and have different rhythmic or tonal emphasis than the languages of Western Europe or English. Composers like Janacek and Bartok integrated these differences into the structure of their compositions. Two of the program selections continue that precedent: Peter Eötvös - Two Poems to Polly (1998)

and György Ligeti - Sonata (1948-53). There are three compositions by Americans: Parasonatina Al’Dodecaphonia (1964), by Donald Martino, one of our country’s major post-war Andrew Waggoner composers, and the one composition on the program that is angular or “thorny.” And thoroughly interesting. Dialogo for solo cello (2006) by Steven Stucky creates a musical discussion both between the composer and his mentor, Witold Lutoslawski, as well as in the call and response nature of the work. Stucky is one of America’s most highly regarded and frequently performed living composers, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize. Stucky’s music was the opposite of thorny and angular. “Graspable” is the way he described the 20-minute, single-movement piece in conversation with Alan Gilbert, conductor of the New York Philharmonic before their performance. For all the modernist complexities of Mr. Stucky’s scores, his music was sanguine, lucid and structurally clear - graspable in the best

sense. Le Nom (Upperline), composed by the Weekend of Chamber Music Festival codirector Andrew Waggoner, is an elegy for the mass flooding, and the thoroughly incompetent Federal government response that destroyed much of his native New Orleans. Upperline is the name of one of the classic New Orleans streets that was victim to the flooding and the incompetence. Thanks in grand part to the visibility of outstanding cellists like Pablo Casals or Mstislav Rostropovich, compositions for solo cello are less of a niche art form than one might expect. But most of all, the visibility of solo cello music results from three centuries’ worth of composers who recognized the unique expressive potential of the cello, and performers with the skills to realize this potential on stage. The first performance takes place at the CAS Arts Center, 48 Main Street, Livingston Manor, on June 2 at 3:00pm. Tickets at the door. (The second performance will then be repeated in New York City on June 7, under the very visible auspices of the League of Composers, America’s oldest organization devoted to contemporary music.) See ad on page 5 for details on the WCM July 2019 Festival concerts. Peace! Love! and Chamber Music!

Swingin’ with The Rat Pack in Hurleyville! When Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. hit the stage, it was always a “swingin affair”! Swinging with THE RAT PACK! is a fun-filled 60 minute musical celebration that re-creates the magic of the Rat Pack, and is as close as you can get to hanging out in the front row at the Copa! Luck be a Lady, That’s Amore, The Lady is a Tramp and Candy Man are just some of the timeless classics you’ll enjoy during this show (along with a whole lotta ring-ading-ding!). Just like the original Rat Pack, the show is completely spontaneous and full of ad-libs. Jesse Posa (Frank Sinatra) is a graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute. He appeared in Phillip Carlo’s Off-Broadway production of East of Evil. Jesse is one of the leading Frank Sinatra impersonators in the country, appearing as Sinatra on stage at Radio City Music Hall, in the Off-Broadway production of Sinatra & Friends and at BB King’s in Times Square in Party with the Rat Pack. Joe Perce (Dean Martin) was the 1987 CLEO award winner for “Best Male Performer” in a commercial for Pontiac’s Trans Am. He has appeared in dozens of commercials, numerous movies and TV shows, with credits that include 25 years

of improvisational comedy. He was voted “Best Improvisational Comic of 1989” by Backstage Magazine. As a child, Lloyd Diamond (Sammy Davis Jr.) had a gift for doing impressions of Jerry Lewis, Richard Pryor and others. His comedy influences were Richard Pryor, Jerry Lewis, Bill Cosby and Eddie Murphy. Lloyd performed while in college and graduated with a BA in Sociology. Appearing at the Comic Strip, Stand-up New York, Caroline’s, New York Comedy Club and Boston Comedy Club, he has appeared on Comedy TKO on Showtime at the Apollo, Good Morning America’s Make Us Laugh All Night Long and Chappelle’s Show. Join them for the fun at the Hurleyville Arts Centre, 12 Railroad Avenue, on June 15 at 7:30pm. Tickets and information available at hurleyvilleartscentre.org or 845-707-8047.

Delaware & Hudson CANVAS

Side of The Road Theatre: 2019 Season by J.A. Di Bello In case the word hasn’t spread beyond the valley, the Side of the Road Theatre Company (SRTC) opened its 2019 season with the premier engagement of John Klemeyer’s new play, Profits for Prophets. The WaterWheel Café in Milford was the location for John’s rip-roarin’ opening night. A “divinely inspired” comedy that captivated the capacity crowd with non-stop hilarity! Beth Kelley (see photo) who stands at helm of SRTC was also this production’s assistant director. With her well-earned laurels, she has cause to stand proud. As a new theatre season is under way, she’s revealed the theatrical gems the SRTC has in store. Though not necessarily in chronological order, the first to catch this writer’s eye was The Realistic Joneses by Will Eno. It will feature Cass Collins. Commissioned by the Yale Repertory Theatre in 2012, it is a fascinating piece of theatrical creativity. Unfortunately, it has been placed on the back-back burner as next season’s leading contender. Also revealed was Orphans by Lyle Kessler. This production will be directed by Beth Kelley and will feature Trevor Nardone and Darren Fouse. Its plot and subject matter are said to lie somewhere in the genre of a psychological thriller. The Milford Theatre

Delaware & Hudson CANVAS

will host Orphans in August. In October, A Doll’s House Part 2 written by Tony Award nominee Lucas Hnath. Scheduled to be presented at the Pike County Court House, it’s reported to be “explosively entertaining” and a continuation of Henrik Ibsen’s acclaimed A Doll’s House. Directed by John Klemeyer, it will feature Evelyn Albino and Carol MacAdam. That information alone is enough to inform all that this escapade has the potential to be “Powerful”! Beth’s list includes another stirring selection: Stones in His Pockets by Marie Jones. It’s remarkable theatre for the reason that it is a two-handed drama, i.e., the script calls for 2 actors to portray fifteen characters. As a tragicomedy it is set in Dublin, in the late 20th century, during a time when a Hollywood film company is attempting to capture the illusive and tranquil atmosphere of the Emerald Isle.

Of her work, she says, “All of my work is truly, “Broken Line” by E. Harms purely abstract or non-objective or nonrepresentational. Many times I have been stimulated by the colors or shapes in nature. The environment is always a constant source of inspiration and can be something as simple as the light and shapes of snow on the hills in winter.” After retiring from a career as a carpenter, Kevin Gref returned to his artwork with the opening of his studio, Jeffersonville Steamworks in 2013 where he began to

Honoring Present & New Sponsors MoM producers, Music Institute of Sullivan & Ulster and St. John’s Episcopal Church, are thanking their present sponsors with a special concert and inviting new sponsors to come aboard in the “upside-down ark” to add support for the music series. All concert attendees will be feted with a wine and cheese reception and performances by The Mashers (Celtic), Chai, (Jewish) and the marimba-viola duo VIOLent PERseCution. Local Irish traditional folk band The Mashers includes Jeff Doolittle on guitar and vocals, fiddler Anastasia Solberg, Liza Doolittle on bodhran and vocals and Zach Brandman on acoustic bass and mandolin. They are inspired by Irish folk bands such as the Clancy Brothers, the Dubliners and the Pogues, as well as the monumental print collections of Irish and British traditional music compiled in the 19th century.

The Chai on Music trio was created for the May 2013 edition of Jewish Heritage Month. The original trio of vocalists Richie Chiger and Lori Schneider plus pianist Leon Hilfstein is now expanded to a quartet including Larry Ravdin on reeds. Chai on Music focuses on the Yiddishkeit of late 19th century mass Jewish immigration, the emigration of Jewish music from the Lower East Side uptown to Tin Pan Alley and the Golden Age of American Song, then up again to Broadway and Hollywood musicals, plus the Israeli folk music of the first half of the 20th century. VIOLent PERseCution is Anastasia Solberg (viola) and Christopher Earley (percussion). Anastasia (co-producer along with Reverend Jeff Golliher of MoM) is a classically trained violist who performs internationally and also teaches at SUNY Ulster. Earley performs as a classical percussionist, as a featured marimba soloist, and in a variety of percussion ensembles. He is currently the principal percussionist with the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra. For this exciting June 23 at 3:00pm concert and reception, all are invited and anyone can become a new sponsor, with donation levels starting at $25. Tickets and sponsor donations at the door (cash & checks only). The concert will be held in the MISU Chapel adjacent to the church. For info: 845-377-3727.

Soprano, Theorbo & Harpsichord in Milford In Stile Moderno is an ensemble for early music, founded in Basel, Switzerland in 2012 by soprano Agnes Coakley and lutenist/ cornettist Nathaniel Cox. Named after the “modern style” of music which emerged in Italy around 1600, the ensemble is dedicated to music of the 17th century, and combines fidelity to historical performance practice with a drive to make early music accessible and relevant to modern audiences. Both as a lute and voice duo and in larger formations with cornetto, organ, voice, and plucked instruments, In Stile Moderno has charmed audiences with their engaging performances in Boston, Vermont, and New York, as well as in concert series in Switzerland, Germany, and France.

At the age of 26 he was made a cardinal by his uncle, Pope Urban VIII, and he used his money and influence to become one of the leading

They are having such a good time that you can’t help but smile.” The Verrazano Brothers hail from the outer boroughs of NYC. Lead vocalist Steve Berman plays guitar and harmonica and is the principal songwriter of the band’s originals.

of the BachFest season on June 15, 7:30pm (same location) is entitled, Bach the Borrower and features works that Bach borrowed from other composers and even from himself! The centerpiece of this year’s concert is Bach’s Tilge, Höchster, meine Sünden, BWV 1083 (Cancel, Highest, my sins) for women’s voices and strings. The composition is a reworking of Giovanni Pergolesi’s beautiful and haunting Stabat Mater, composed in 1736. Bach used a German paraphrase of Psalm 51 as the text for his composition. He wrote his version in the 1740s, slightly expanding the orchestra, making it richer than Pergolesi’s original and increases the independence of the viola part, creating the four-part harmony typical of his own style. The piece will be performed by the women of Kairos: A Consort of Singers, under the direction of Edward Lundergan. Oboist Joel Evans will perform Allessandro Marcello’s Concerto for Oboe

and Strings in C minor (falsely attributed to his brother Benedetto Marcello) where he borrows from Bach who borrows from Vivaldi! The final concert will also feature Bach’s Triple Concerto in A Minor for Flute, Violin and Harpsichord, BWV 1044, which he based on his Prelude and Fugue, BWV 894 for harpsichord and on the middle movement of his Organ Sonata, BWV 527, or on earlier lost models for these compositions.

Downing: All About Corrupt Health & Eve What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up film from the creators of the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy. The film exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick. It is a surprising, and at times hilarious, investigative documentary that will be an eye-opener for everyone concerned about our nation’s health and how big business influences it. No health-care system, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner appointment necessary for the June 17, 7:30pm showing. The play All About Eve tells the story of Margo Channing. Legend. True star of the theatre. The spotlight is hers, always has been. But now there’s Eve. Her biggest fan. Young, beautiful Eve. The golden girl, the girl next door. But you know all about Eve... don’t you...? (Yes, it’s from THAT film.)

Gillian Anderson and Lily James (see photo) lead in All About Eve, broadcast live to cinemas from the West End in London. Lifting the curtain on a world of jealousy and ambition, this new production, from one of the world’s most innovative theatre directors, Ivo van Hove, asks why our fascination with celebrity, youth and identity never seems to get old. Live from London’s National Theatre on June 24 at 1:30pm & 7:00pm at the Downing Film Center, 19 Front Street, Newburgh. For reservations to Health and Eve: 845561-3686 or www.downingfilm center.com

Let the Memory Live Again by J. A. Di Bello As patrons of the arts, connections to the past are inseparable. To use an American idiom: we’re joined at the hip! Events, language and definitions in theatre are not locked in the past or married to the stage. Consider the derivation of the word proscenium, and its relationship to obscene. Franklin Trapp and his crew of stalwart mates are steady at the helm, prepared to celebrate and continue the tradition of drama, history and music as Franklin’s crew presents the seventy-third year of the Forestburgh Playhouse. In that vein, the Playhouse’s diverse offerings recognize the glory of memories and their significance. February 3, 1959 is widely known as “The Day the Music Died,” a name created for that day by local vocal artist and song writer, Don Mc Lean. As a narrative ballad, it stands alone as a non-healing wound that commemorates the tragic death of three rock ‘n’ roll musicians: Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Vallens. These trendsetting musicians were traveling via a chartered small plane to their next engagement. It was a freezing night with light snow falling. Less than five miles from the departure airport, the plane had reached an air speed of 150 MPH, when it sharply descended into a frozen corn field. All three were highly popular in those nifty-fifties days and all three, plus the pilot died on impact. The death of these 3-top rock ‘n’ roll entertainers left a

serious void in the popular teenage, youngadult genre. During the period following the Iowa tragedy, potential and already popular candidates to help fill the void were limited: Elvis was drafted and volunteered for Tank Corps. The Everly Brothers joined the Marine Corps (Semper Fi). And big name: Chuck Berry - was in prison! What next? The British are coming! The Buddy Holly Story will open June 18, at 8:00pm, accompanied by an exciting preshow cabaret in the Tavern at 6:00pm. Moving forward thematically a number of readers will recall the summer of 1969. Some the heat, some the rain, and others the war, while others will conjure thoughts and visions of an outdoor concert advertised as “An Aquarian Exposition; 3 Days of Peace Love and Music.” Original plans by 2 partners proposed the original site of Woodstock. Promoters changed the site to Yasgur’s 600acre dairy farm near White Lake in Bethel, 43 miles southwest of Woodstock. And thus Bethel suddenly became the birthplace of the Woodstock Generation, now a part of the common lexicon. Despite organizational difficulties, the concert drew an estimated crowd of over 400,000 to the rather remote dairy farm in Sullivan County. However, given more thought, Bethel’s just about as remote as is Forestburgh. In fact, Bethel is just down the road and up the street

from Forestburgh. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, Franklin and the Forestburgh crew are presenting the smashing musical, Hair. It’s an exciting play with music and narrative that, to a large degree, represents the Woodstock generation, a generation who gave their all to change the way individuals think, act and perceive events. The controversies and heated debates regarding its quality and worthiness have raged for fifty years. It is said that Hair remains metaphysical, i.e., it is questioning the essence of our being, as in, what’s it all about? Our actions, clothing, body’s appearance become symbolic of a greater purpose. This world-famous piece of musical theatre is as widely thought of as most stimulating pieces of theatre. And it all came to be because of a 3-day musical celebration about love and peace. It happened just up the road fifty-years ago. As far as anniversaries go, especially those of fifty years, the Forestburgh crew has prepared another energized highly entertaining show, opening with a riotous musical comedy on July 30. Based on the hit movie The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, the story follows the adventures of three performers, while effectively displaying the historical and social significance of the Stonewall Riots.

Priscilla, by the way, is a colorful but battered bus, owned by a cross dresser who is also an entertainer. He contracts to take his show including 2 colleagues, a crossdresser and a transsexual, to the middle of the Australian Outback, performing for enthusiastic and receptive crowds. Their experience is heartwarming as they learn the importance of honesty and friendship. It is safe to say that this musical made its journey to the Forestburgh stage with the unintended assistance of the Stonewall Riots of June 29, 1969. Briefly, on the night before the riots, NYPD raided the Stonewall Inn, a Mafia operated gay bar, which was usually a safe haven for gays and lesbians. During the raid, police men and women were trapped inside as Molotov cocktails thrown by neighborhood supporters set the building ablaze. Needless to say, pandemonium erupted with the NYPD Tactical Patrol Force now on the scene. The size and publicity generated by this incident and subsequent clashes contributed significantly to public awareness of gay-lesbian issues. This awareness served as a quasirecognition membership in a community. Its existence led directly to the formation of the Gay Liberation Front, The Gay Pride Parade and more recently the initialism LGBTQ. It’s called mainstream visibility and is reflected by protective legislation, including representation in creative media. Enjoy Priscilla!

“An Inspector Calls” at Cornerstone “In an industrial city, a young girl commits suicide and an inspector calls on an eminently respectable family, subject to a routine inquiry in connection with the death. The family is closely knit and friendly...or are they?” The 1994 winner of a Tony Award for Best Revival, An Inspector Calls was written by English novelist, playwright, scriptwriter, social commentator, and broadcaster J.B. Priestley. Priestley’s Yorkshire background is reflected in much of his fiction, notably in The Good Companions (1929), which first brought him to wide public notice. Many of his plays are structured around a time slip, and he went on to develop a new theory of time, with different dimensions that link past, present, and future.
