The Perlman Music Program In its first 50 years, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded more than $5 billion in grants to recipients in every state and U.S. jurisdiction, the only arts funder in the nation to do so. On December 8, the NEA announced awards totaling more than $27.6 million in its first funding round of fiscal year 2016, including an Art Works award of $50,000 to The Perlman Music Program to support the Summer Music School. Held each summer on Shelter Island the Summer Music School is a sevenweek residency for gifted young players of the violin, viola, cello, and bass, ages 12 to 18. Under the guidance of Toby and Itzhak Perlman, the Summer Music School’s world-class faculty includes professional string musicians from around the country who provide exemplary mentorship and coaching in instrumental music to students. Students have private lessons, ensemble rehearsals, performance opportunities, and time for individual practice. Daily participation in chorus develops essential skills that strengthen instrumental students’ overall musicianship, including sight-singing and ear training. Throughout the summer, the exceptional students perform in concerts that are free and open to the public.

Broadway Reporting From
By Isa Goldberg
The season on and off Broadway continues with some short-lived shows and others kicking strong. For a burst of holiday charm, The Drama Desk Award-winning New Victory Theater, devoted to works for children and families, brought back Cirque Mechanics, for the third time. Their production Pedal Punk, sports bikes with square wheels, round wheels - varying in number, and some with huge wheels and others that are teeny tiny. Regardless, the kinetic energy and sheer aplomb of the performers makes for a humorous and quirky continuum of motion. Thanks to the New Victor y’s inventive programming, upcoming productions from around the world fill the season’s calendar. Currently, the Nie Theater with a blend of European actors performs Museum of Memories, to be followed by the London import, The Velveteen Rabbit. Along with The Pied Piper from Milan’s Carlo Colla & Sons Marionette Company and Cite from Toulouse France, it’s shaping up to be an outstanding season.
Michael Flatley Spinning Around The Globe Rolling out of town on their
(& Sometimes Off)
dancing feet, the performers of Lord of Dance continue to pack in audiences in London before skipping off for their world tour. Michael Flatley’s Irish dance troupe became the rage of New York, when it premiered on Broadway with Riverdance in 2000. Still commandingly forceful, Flatley’s choreography of fleet-footed tap dancers makes the show. Next up at Broadway’s Lyric Theater, Cirque Du Soleil’s Paramour arrives in Spring 2016. (Understandably, that space may need a little breather.)
Love, Lust And Marla Thomas For the endearing values of family and marriage, the long running Off Broadway comedy, Clever Little Lies by Joe Di Pietro, features Marlo Thomas as a wise, independent family matron. As her husband, Greg Mullavey stands out as a devoted family man, regardless of the philandering that preoccupies those closest to him, most importantly his son, Billy, played with apt conceit by George Merrick. Kate Wetherhead as Billy’s loyal wife reprises the role she originated at George Street Playhouse where the show originated in 2013. Currently, at the Westside
School Of Rock Theatre, Lies is the happy ever after tale of a family that learns to embrace itself.
Rockin’ and Rollin’ to Andrew Lloyd Webber Based on the hit comedy film, School of Rock, this new Broadway musical, with a book by Julian Fellowes, is loud, brash and moralistic, in a charming sort of way. Featuring a few songs from the movie along with many new ones by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Glenn Slater, the score amps up to a purgative height. Here, Alex Brightman takes over the role Jack Black made famous in the film, with a performance
that is so caffeinated, it constantly implodes. Regardless, as Dewey, the overweight musical impresario, Brightman works his way into the hearts and souls of Horace Green’s prep school students and they’re misguided parents. Sierra Bogges (The Little Mermaid, Master Class) takes on an outré role as a repressive and repressed school principal, not at all characteristic of her earlier Broadway appearances. Underlying it all, of course, is the strong moral focus Dewey’s progressive ideas bring to parenting and education. As a result, these pre-adolescent kids -- rock stars all -- overcome the perceptions of many a shortsighted adult.

today’s birthday by Miles X. Logan
Independent / Courtesy Universal International
Eddie Redmayne, 1982 Can you say star? The golden statuette already graces Eddie Redmayne’s mantel, and a lot of film critics think there will be another one on it this year. Born and raised in London, the youngster struck gold for his performance in The Theory Of Everything playing Stephen Hawking. Previously, he garnered raves for his work in the films My Week With Marilyn and Les Miserables and on Broadway for Red, which earned him a Tony. The young man has a privileged background – he attended Eton College with Prince William, and was a soloist in the choir. His current film, The Danish Girl, represents the best work of his career. Redmayne is mesmerizing in the true story of Einar Wegener, the first person ever to undergo a sex change operation. His next film, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, is already generating Oscar buzz. Could Eddie Redmayne win the Best Actor award for three straight years? It has never been done before.

or lose interest can cost you and waste time. Your actions speak louder than your words.
ARIES (Mar. 20 - Apr. 20) An opportunity may be coming your way. You must balance your urge to be rash or impetuous with the necessity to act in a mature, steady manner. This week, let yourself be awakened to the enthusiastic and spontaneous side of life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) You need to experience the feeling of a new love or of giving and receiving unconditional love. Give and accept love on a new level. Open your heart and let emotions move you. Your loving ways will magnetize love to you.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 21) You may need to re-evaluate things. If you are bored or dissatisfied with the status quo, avoid distractions and examine your heart of hearts to gain peace and clarity. “Crying over spilt milk” or saying “I told you so” is not attractive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) When dissatisfied with where your path has led you, withdraw from distraction to examine your “heart of hearts” to gain insight. You can literally change your future during a time of re-evaluation. Resume real contact with your value system.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 22) You need to be a part of the implementation of a new business idea. Be trustworthy, reliable, and a good provider. Speak seriously and only if you have something to say. Beware of being preoccupied with gain and possessions. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) You need to be pragmatic and play the political game well. Do not judge people’s status or gossip. Interact comfortably with everyone, no matter who they are. Get down to basics. Working with a family member could benefit you now. LEO (July 23 - Aug. 23) You need to be instinctive, creative, and passionate. You are being initiated. Do not secondguess yourself. Go on first impressions. Make the first move. Try to see through all illusion. You may experience a breakthrough.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 19) You will achieve success in your material affairs if you are patient. Try to interact instinctively with all you meet and do not be confused by wealth or station in life. Maintain your ties to nature because this will fortify you in your dealings. PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) There is a new opportunity coming into your life this week, to experience the most positive emotions. Joy, health, and happiness are being offered to you. Allow yourself to feel love and positive energy flowing in and out of your heart.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) You need to be positive and spontaneous, not impulsive. Your enthusiasm impresses others, but impatience and being quick to anger

Joy (PG-13) Director David O. Russell struck Oscar gold with Silver Linings Playbook and reunites its stars, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, for this ensemble effort that spans four generations – that’s a lot of ground to cover. Robert DeNiro, Diane Ladd, Virginia Madsen, and Isabella Rossellini co-star. There will be no gold this year. In The Heart of The Sea (PG-13) What at first glance seems to be just another Moby Dick in the hands of director Ron Howard becomes something more. Based on a true story, this tale, set in 1820, could very easily have involved a whaling boat from Sag Harbor. It’s a spectacle to be sure – the cinematography is magnificent. The acting? Well, let’s put it this way -- Chris Hemsworth stars. Janis: Little Girl Blue (NR) You’ve heard about the legend, but seeing and hearing her before booze and drugs ruined her life is something to behold. Amy Berg’s documentary illustrates what all the commotion was about – a female rock superstar like no other before her. The Lady In The Van (PG-13) It seems the industry is trying very hard to get Maggie Smith one more leading lady Oscar, and the grande dame might have found the perfect vehicle here. Smith turns in an astounding performance – the fact that it’s based on a true story adds to the depth of her effort.

Delivery
1 head of celery (washed trimmed & diced) 1 c cooked brown rice 1 red pepper 1 yellow pepper diced 1 c vegetable stock 1 tbsp chili powder 1 tbsp ground cumin salt and pepper to your liking
Method
Begin by placing the garlic cloves in a small pot with the olive oil. Let that simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes or until the garlic becomes soft and turns a light golden brown color. Begin peeling the vegetables you will be dicing, any peels or scraps can go in a small pot filled with two cups of water to make the vegetable stock. For the broccoli, take a sharp knife and gently run it over the florets basically shaving off the green tops of the broccoli floret. Save them for later use. For the stalk of the broccoli, cut it into small pieces and give it a rough dice. When all the vegetables are processed, the garlic is roasted, and the oats are ground we can start cooking. Take two tbsp of the roasted garlic olive oil and begin to heat it over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the onion, celery, peppers and broccoli stalks to the pan and

cook over medium heat until the onions become soft and translucent, seasoning as you go. Add in the rough chopped mushrooms, picked thyme, and seasoning. Cover for five minutes to allow the mushrooms to release some liquid. Stir occasionally. After five minutes, remove the lid and deglaze the pan with the white balsamic vinegar and the juice from half the lemon. Allow the liquid to reduce by half in the pan then drain the cooked vegetable mixture. Add the liquid to the vegetable stock and set the cooked vegetables aside for a minute. Using some of the vegetable stock and some of the roasted garlic oil, make a homemade hummus. Use some as a binder in the veggie burger recipe and save the rest. Put the drained chickpeas, 1/4 cup of the vegetable stock, the zest of the lemon, as well as the juice from half of it, and three
tablespoons of the garlic oil into the food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to add a little bit extra garlic oil or stock to achieve the consistency you want. Now you have all your ingredients ready. Put half of the cooked vegetable mixture in the food processor with three tbsp of the homemade hummus, 1/2 cup of rice, the Dijon mustard, the drained roasted garlic, and all of the ground oats. Pulse that mixture until a thick paste like consistency is achieved. Fold in the rest of the cooked vegetables, 1/2 cup rice, the shaved carrots, and the tiny broccoli florets for texture. At this point you can portion and form your vegetable patties. Lay them out evenly on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze the patties for an hour before you cook them. Cook them on the grill or in a skillet with just a little bit of oil. Toast a bun, garnish with your favorite burger sides, and enjoy.

Sabrosa
631-726-6565 www.sabrosamexicangrill.com Speaking of Tex-Mex, this newbie in Water Mill will help fill the void. Diners can build their own burritos, tacos, or bowls with a variety of ingredients and there are plenty of vegetarian options. Prices are excellent and specials abound. It’s already developing a loyal lunch crowd. There is one in Riverhead, too.
American Pie Pizzeria
631-613-6177 www.hamptonsamericanpie.com Tucked in Bridgehampton Commons, this is more than your typical mall pizzeria funneling out slices of stale pie. The owner has a knack for eppi rolls, with a variety of stuffings that are melt in your mouth good. There are also great calzones, healthy salads, gelatos, Italian ices and desserts to stay or go. Seating is limited – yeah, it can be a madhouse – but it’s a fun respite from a day of shopping and adults like it as much as the kids.
Bridgehampton & Water Mill By Miles X. Logan
Pierre’s
631-537-5110 www.pierresbridgehampton.com Pierre’s is one of a handful of restaurants that can honestly claim to be the best on the East End. Yes, Pierre Weber, the proprietor, can be a bit smug at times, but he has reason to be. His French cuisine sparkles; the consistency of the menu has allowed his chefs to perfect it over the years. There are signs of complacency – at a recent lunch two of the quiches came out cold, and the staff didn’t show much urgency making amends. That said, The Fricassée de homard du Maine, flambée au Cognac – poached twopound lobster – is magnificent. Pierre, a fifth generation baker, creates many of the desserts, which are also sold next door in his market. Pierre’s is open every day of the year for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Bobby Van’s
631-537-0590 www.bobbyvans.com The old boy has moved a couple times since 1959, and the piano player/crooner himself is long gone, but Bobby Van’s remains the epitome of Hamptons dining. Literati like Truman Capote and James Jones have also passed on,
but the bar is still the place for a lively conversation. The dining room is more upscale than the steak joint of yore, and some diners complain portions are small relative to the pricing. Still, the presentation is excellent and the staff professional, and it buzzes, especially in season. There is a $29 prix fixe on weeknights during the offseason that features a nice rib eye.
World Pie
631-537-7999 www.worldpiebh.com Located where Bobby Van’s used to be, across the street from the Candy Kitchen, World Pie has captured a lot of Van’s bar regulars. It’s a great place to watch a game and grab a beer, but the food is good, too – large portions and reasonable prices. Several of the pasta dishes are outstanding, and the pizzas are a lunch staple for many of the business owners nearby. The Cuban Panini is to die for. Please, though, no more drum bands at Sunday brunch – some of us already have a headache from the night before.
Almond
631-537-5665 www.almondrestaurant.com The southeast corner of Main Street -- technically One Ocean Road -- has been the scene of more than a few restaurants, but Almond, there since
2001, seems to have found a home. The food is consistent if you stick to what you like. The room is large and can be noisy, as is the bar, but that’s part of the fun, especially during the summer. It’s a great place to meet and greet. If you still like to watch football at the bar, there is a great $15 burger and beer special.
The Candy Kitchen
631-537-9855 We love it, and we loved it when we were kids, and our parents loved it. The best thing about it is the help: friendly veteran servers who are honest and knowledgeable. Familiar faces abound, and not just the staff. The boldface types – Rudy Giuliani is a regular - flock to the place. It’s old school: bacon and eggs, malted milk, and great ice cream. Last we looked they still didn’t take credit cards, and that’s fine with us. Grab the newspaper and stay for coffee. This is what being a year-rounder is all about.
Mercado Mexican Grill
631-237-1334 www.mercadony.com A great happy hour on weekdays and a killer brunch featuring great frozen drinks assure a good time. You can’t beat Taco Tuesday -- $2 and $3 a pop at the bar. The specials are good, too. This is classic Tex-Mex, and there aren’t many around any more.
Goldbergs/The Pizza Place
631-537-7865 We’re not sure what name it goes by, but the new establishment has yet to capture the unbelievable Jewish-themed fare at the Goldbergs’ East Hampton location or the Italian flare the Pizza Place exhibited in its prime. Chances are they will figure it out soon enough. Hampton Coffee Company 631-726-2633 www.hamptoncoffeecompany.com Don’t make the mistake of thinking this little gem is just a place for coffee – the sit down café inside is a great place for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. We like the breakfast burrito – in fact all the Mexican fare is delicious. The fish and chips is a lunch menu staple and a great deal. There’s an espresso bar, a juice bar, and the whole place in wifi-ready and practices green technology. Stop in once and you’ll become a regular. During the summer the café is open until 7 PM and 8 PM on weekends, making it the perfect stop for an early supper.
Suki Zuki
631-726-4600 A hidden gem, Suki has carved out a niche with its excellent Japanese food. It’s open year round, the sushi is excellent, but the menu and specials are so varied and original that it's not the only option. Staff is attentive and the prices are decent for this neck of the woods.
