Doctorow To Perform Friday

By Rick Murphy Caroline Doctorow, whom critics liken to Nanci Griffith and Judy Collins, has been plying her trade locally for over 30 years, living first in Sag Harbor and now Bridgehampton.

She just released her 10th album, Raven Girl with Narrow Lane Records.

As always, Doctorow expands her exploration to American roots music, specifically folk.

She will perform at the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House at 977 Sag Harbor/Bridgehampton Turnpike Friday

night at 7:30.

Another recent album, The Songs of Richard and Mimi Farinã received widespread critical acclaim and was called by critic Steve Maddeo “an album that enters the folk canon as one of the best collections of the recording of specific artists.”

Her western-themed release I Carry All I Own: The Songs of Mary McCaslin appeared on both the Americana, and Folk Radio airplay charts reaching #12 on Folk Radio. She has released a total of nine albums, all of which continue

to receive much airplay on folk and Americana stations worldwide.

Doctorow has performed and/or recorded with a variety of prominent folk/roots performers including Nanci Griffith, Tom Paxton, John Sebastian, Annie Golden, Eric Weissberg, Pete and Maura Kennedy, Julie Gold, Christine Lavin, and Hugh Prestwood.

She was chosen to be a formal showcase artist in Memphis in 2010

by Folk Alliance International.

Her recent appearances include The Guthrie Center in Great Barrington, Pete Seegers’s Beacon Sloop Corn Festival, The Katharine Hepburn Theater in Old Saybrook, Infinity Hall, in Norwalk, CT, the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA, the John Drew Theater in East Hampton, NY, the Gold Hall Theater in Hewlett, NY, and most recently The Patchogue Theater for the Performing Arts sharing a bill with Suzanne Vega and Amy Helm.

Doctorow is a regular returning guest on the famed Blue Plate Special, the live radio broadcast produced and aired on WDVX in Knoxville. Her singing can be heard on the soundtrack of the feature film Daniel directed by Sidney Lumet, and on the PBS TV series “Freedom, The History of Us.” Her song “Big Duck Ramble” was featured in the Long Island History

IN THE NEWS

Journal, and in 2006 she was nominated by WIVK Knoxville for a HEMI Award in the “Future Female Artist” category.

Doctorow has opened for The Band, Alison Krauss, Tim O’Brien, and Richie Havens. She appeared last summer at Chautauqua, the famed arts institution in northern New York. She is the daughter of world-renowned author E.L. Doctorow.

Showtime is 7:30 and admission is $15. For more information call 631725-3938.

The concert is the fifth in the “Songwriter’s Share” series hosted by songstress and fellow Sag Harbor resident Nancy Remkus. It is a benefit concert for the Bridgehampton Child Care Center.

The Parrish Art Museum has organized "Chuck Close Photographs," the first comprehensive survey of the photographic work of the renowned American artist. The exhibition features some 90 images from 1964 to the present, showing the full range of the artist’s exploration of photography. The exhibition explores how Close, one of the most important figures in contemporary art, has stretched the boundaries of photographic means, methods, and approaches.

“The photographic origin of each Close painting is well known; however, Close’s exploration of the medium itself extends far beyond the use of photographs as a programmatic tool,” said Parrish Art Museum Director and exhibition co-organizer Terrie Sultan. “Whether he uses a photographic image as source material or as an end in and of itself, everything he creates begins with a photograph. 'Chuck Close Photographs' provides an in-depth look at photography as the foundation of Close’s creative process.”

The show is on view Sunday through July 26.

you under, shoot the curl and don’t look behind you. This time a lonely ride gives more satisfaction than a crowded cruise.

ARIES (Mar. 20 - Apr. 20) Time for a dip in the Reflection Pool. Sensuality is the key word this week, and a nice (hydro?) massage is in order. Maybe even a Seaweed Wrap. The more you reflect now, the more you’ll shine later on.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 21) Clear the decks for action. You have always been the captain of your ship, but now the crew is eager to follow your orders because you have proven yourself in an emergency. Full speed ahead to a Hero’s welcome.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 22) Listen to a seashell as it tells you a story of the not-to-distant Past, a memory that still lingers. That old “Summer Romanticism” washes over you this week and it could be even better this time around.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Loose lips sink ships; an apology is expected.

It was one of those times when you thought you were being funny but they didn’t. There’s egg on your face, but

your charm can turn it into caviar one more time.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 23) Ship’s cook and bottle washer, but you love it! It’s fun to feel useful and oh, so needed.

Just as long as they appreciate your exquisite gourmet taste in herbs and wines -- those Sons of Sea-cooks!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) All ashore who’s going ashore! Announce your ultimatum, which will be difficult - you hate disharmony. But if you will finally make up your mind, you will find that your real mates will always pipe you aboard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) The fog will lift. The haze may keep you out of commission this week, but you need a rest from all the bright lights. Get in touch with your “buoyish” sixth sense.

Haven’t you always found your way home before?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22) Catch a wave and ride it awhile! Though a rough Sea of Troubles threatens to drag

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) You have to swim against this swift current -- or else you’ll sink forcing yourself to go along with the current trends. This is a week to plumb your depths and see if you are strong enough to turn the tide.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) Protect yourself from the rays -- you don’t want to become overexposed.

Baring your Soul a little at a time will do the trick, or else you might get burned, and you remember how long it takes for you to heal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 19) You’ll discover some sunken treasure this week - you’re being rewarded for past good deeds. Spread your good fortune around. You know it’ll come back to you many times over. Pieces of Eight! Pieces of Eight!

IN THE NEWS

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Serfs, up! You may be thriving on your work, but you need to enjoy the outdoors more. You’ve got to remember that it’s practical to balance work with play.

Those trying to keep up with you need a breather, too!

George Clooney, 1961 This Hollywood star hasn’t exactly flown under the radar — he is a legitimate “A-list” Hollywood star whose mere presence in a film virtually guarantees box office success.

Although he is a fixture in tabloids and gossip columns, there are some fascinating tidbits about George Clooney most of the public isn’t aware of.

For example, as a youngster he had Bell’s Palsy and suffered partial facial paralysis – look closely and you still see some slight lingering affects.

He was a damn good ballplayer, too – good enough to earn a tryout with the Cincinnati Reds.

He was the first person ever to be nominated in six separate Oscar categories: Lead and Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Producer, Director and, wait for it . . . Best Adapted Screenplay. He’s won two statues, for Best Supporting Actor (Syriana) and Best Picture (Argo).

Clooney is a show biz blue blood. His mom was a beauty queen, his father a newscaster and game show host, and his aunt was the famous singer Rosemary Clooney.

Blessed with startling good looks, Clooney studied acting in college and made his way onto several TV shows. He became a star on “ER” and a national heartthrob. Hollywood beckoned, and Clooney starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in Out Of Sight and Three Kings, the former being his first collaboration with director Stephen Soderbergh. In 2000 he landed the lead role in The Perfect Storm and teamed with Soderbergh for Ocean’s Eleven and two sequels.

He is a noted humanitarian, an unabashed Democratic, and a shameless womanizer— at least until he got married last year.

In January he received the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, and Clooney’s newest film, Tomorrowland, is a big-ticket sci-fi effort out of the Disney Studio. It will be released this month.

Broadway Reporting From

(& Sometimes Off)

By Isa Goldberg

There is a great deal that remains unspoken in An American in Paris, including the lives of the principal characters during the war in Europe, those years that directly proceed the action on stage. The musical, which we all recall for Gene Kelly’s breathtaking dance numbers in the movie, comes to life here through choreographer/ director Christopher Wheeldon’s modern ballet. The experience that speaks to us so vibrantly in this revival is about freedom of expression - the physical language of dance.

With Robert Fairchild of The New York City Ballet making his Broadway debut as the romantic lead, Jerry Mulligan an American soldier who remains in Paris to become an artist, the production is mesmerizing – truly an awakening of mind and body! As his

love interest, Leanne Cope (Lise) of The Royal Ballet has a delicate presence.

And no matter how many times you’ve heard those famous Gershwin tunes, “I Got Rhythm” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” they are as thrilling now as they ever were.

It’s delightfully anachronistic when Veanne Cox as Madame Baurel, who has fashioned Lise’s future around marrying her son Henri (Max von Essen), remarks, “Now that jazz is no longer banned,” that takes us back to a darker time. Beyond the shadow of World War II, however, playwright Craig Lucas, inspired by the movie, mines the humor, creating an inspiring revival of an American classic.

The Widow Visits

What war has wrought creates

FOR SALE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

an entirely different consciousness in The Visit when Chita Rivera, (Claire Zachanassian), the town’s “gypsy whore,” returns after many years, as a wealthy widow. In true Kander and Ebb style, the show starts out with deceptively cheerful tunes, and such lyrical refrains as, “there’s going to be a happy ending.” But, the narrative leads us into the darkest, most inhumane terrain.

As Claire, Rivera exudes the eminence of the iconic musical star she is -- playing the role with amazing strength, and delivering brutality with kindness. As her former lover, now an impoverished and diminished old man, Roger Rees gives a subtle, but intense performance.

Still, the star of this show is the glisteningly radiant yellow shoes by designer Ann Hould-Ward. Their evocation of the yellow badge, the badge of shame Jews wore on their garments in Nazi Europe, epitomizes the burning irony of Durrenmatt’s drama, brilliantly adapted to this musical by Terrence McNally. Helmed

by John Doyle, this is a searing production and raw in a way that never a Broadway musical was.

Trash Cuisine

From the repression of self-

IN THE NEWS

expression comes The Belarus Free Theater, now at La Mama with Trash Cuisine, a food show about capital punishment. The troupe forks up some serious satire, based on the personal stories of Belarusians living under President Lukashenko’s dictatorship, as well as those of injustice and political dissidence from people from all over the world.

Structured around a collection of these woeful tales, the play is framed by a food show chef (Phillipe Spall) who we meet early on, devouring a whole bird. Describing the experience, he places the small grilled animal in his mouth, chewing it, “absorbing,” in his words, “the entire life of the bird.” The sounds of crunch are reviling, as are the scenes of twitching bodies falling from the gallows, images of water boarding, and of other irreverent killings.

Like Anthony Bourdain, our chef regales us about exotic rites, such as men who eat their children. His quotes from Shakespeare about violence and murder are much more than mere erudition or even intellectual exercise.

In the end, when the troupe, en masse, cuts up onions, the smell puts tears in our eyes. In context, it’s a bizarre emotion, packed with graphic imagery, and breaking the silence of human oppression.

An asterisk (*) denotes an Indy Best Movie pick.

New To Theaters Avengers: Age of Ultron (PG-13) They are back, and the summer’s first big ticket action adventure is indeed overstuffed with high tech action and adventure as our superheroes, who only want to do good, have to combine their considerable forces to subdue some incredible evildoer with a massive display of violence and destruction.

Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and the rest of the regulars are back for another romp. Pass the popcorn and enjoy.

Coming Soon Hot Pursuit (PG-13) Sophie Vergara and Reese Witherspoon nail this buddy movie wherein Witherspoon, a by the book detective, is charged with protecting the exuberant widow (Vergara) of a drug lord marked for death. It runs the gamut from silly to profane, but don’t they all?

New On DVD Inherent Vice (R) Paul Thomas Anderson, who gave us There Will Be Blood and The Master, checks in with an adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel. Once again Anderson casts Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Brolin in this offbeat detective saga set squarely in the psychedelic era. It’s all over the place, but the film features an all-star cast that includes the likes of Witherspoon and Owen Wilson.

Now Playing Far From The Maddening Crowd (PG-13) A visually lush rendering of the Thomas Hardy classic is a showcase for the considerable skills of Carey Mulligan, a woman who must choose between threes suitors. Michael Sheen (The Queen) co-stars. It’s probably the season’s first Oscar pretender, but Mulligan is worth watching.

Ex Machina * (R) The noted screenwriter Alex Garland impresses in this, his directorial debut, with this startling yet disturbing fantasy thriller.

Garland has attracted all allstar cast of fresh talent including Alicia Vikander (A Royal Affair ) and Domhnall Gleeson (Harry Potter) and features Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis) as an eccentric CEO of a high-tech internet company.

A chilling, thought provoking film that should not be missed.

The Water Diviner (R) Russell Crowe stars as a father searching for his missing sons in Turkey following the Battle of Gallipoli. Crowe, as always, is a commanding scrren presence.

Unfortunately, this is the directorial debut of Crowe, who as a director makes a good actor. It’s contrived, overly-emotional, and throughly predictable.

Unfriended (R ) A perfect Friday night suspense/horror flick that is trendy, slick, and deliciously sinister, not to mention topical. Grab a date and go.

Independent Dining Stuffed Turkey Breast With An Apple Pear Glaze & Candied Pecans

minutes while you sauté the shaved sweet potatoes and leeks in a tbsp of olive oil, just until they are soft and translucent.

Meanwhile, between two sheets of plastic wrap, gently pound the turkey breasts until it has an even thickness, about and inch. Season the turkey breast, drain and reserve the liquid used to rehydrate the cranberries.

At this point you will want to have the butchers twine handy. Stuff the pounded breasts with the sweet potato, leek, herb, and cranberry filling. Do not over stuff the breast. Roll and truss each turkey breast.

In a couple of hot sauté pans sear the skin with a mixture of olive oil and butter over medium high heat to brown the skin.

Place them in the oven for 25 minutes, remembering to rotate half way through the cooking process.

Once the turkey is in the oven you can gently heat the liquid reserved from earlier from the leftover scraps from dicing your fruit.

Once the fruit is cooked and soft, purée the mixture to make a sauce and fold in the diced fruit. Keep warm

Toss the pecans in the spice mix, and then add the egg white. Mix everything together in a bowl and spread the coated nuts evenly across a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil.

Bake at 350 for 7 minutes and remove to allow time to cool.

When the turkey comes out of the oven snip away the butchers twine and slice into 1.5 inch thick medallions.

Coat with the warm sauce and finish by crumbling the candied pecans over the dish. Enjoy!
