HUDSON HAPPENINGS MILE SQUARE THEATRE PRESENTS THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE AT SINATRA PARK IN HOBOKEN Mile Square Theatre (MST) announces its open-air production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised], opening September 16, 2021. With the generous financial support of the Hoboken Business Alliance, Mile Square Theatre returns to the Hudson River waterfront for an open-air production of the beloved comic sendup of the Bard, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield. The play will be performed at the Sinatra Park Amphitheatre and will run for three weeks, from September 16 until October 2. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] brings three actors together to stumble through all 37 of the Bard’s plays in 90 hilarious, irreverent minutes. How do they do it? Very poorly. How they do it so quickly? “With great dispatch!” as old Billy Shakes would say. If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this play. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll LOVE this play. Either way, our company of fools guarantee to leave you breathless with laughter. Mile Square Theatre Artistic Director Chris O’Connor says, “We are moving our way through the pandemic and reemerging into producing plays again. We thought producing outdoors while the weather was still warm would be a great way to

BRIDGE ARTS FESTIVAL CELEBRATES ART NEAR AND FAR By Rory Pasquariello
Close the live streaming app, turn off the computer and rejoice. Live entertainment is back in Bayonne. After a one-year hiatus for reasons everyone is tired of talking about, the Bridge Arts Festival will resume on Saturday, September 11th at Dennis Collins Park on 1st Street. This year’s festival represents the restoration of art and community. For the artists, it’s more of a rebirth than a return to normal. Many booked for last year’s cancelled event are returning to finish what they started. They’ve emerged from their artist lairs anew. “I was just starting to release music with my band when the pandemic hit,” said Gina D’Soto, 24. “Now things are picking up more and more, so it’s really exciting to have more shows. Performing is the greatest thing ever.” D’Soto moved from Havana, Cuba to Montreal when she was 8 years old on a scholarship to study classical piano and jazz voice. As a teenager, she performed at many of the region’s world-renowned jazz clubs and festivals. Her music is a fusion of jazz, soul, and Cuban music. D’Soto later moved to Jersey City and has friends from Bayonne. She’s now in Harlem and since reopening has performed everywhere from the National Chess Museum to the 5PM Porch Concerts series in Brooklyn, where performances are hosted on porches instead of interior venues. Art can’t be separated from the artists, and the
as a teenager. American culture has a way of repressing traditions. Ancestors and ceremonies don’t find you. It takes affirmative effort to preserve. “It took me a long time to do it,” said Edwards of the dance. It led him to preserving West Indian traditions and ways of life. “People should look into their history. Hopefully they find something they can connect to,” said Edwards. “Without our past and traditions, we have no future.

“It’s funny because my actual life is very chaotic and spontaneous, but I don’t paint that,” said Lupianez. “I strive to paint positivity and serenity. I think I do that because in my chaos it’s hard for me to stop and smell the roses and I want to remind myself to do that.” Lupianez’s paintings will be on sale at the festival, along with many other artists. She hopes that her art connects with people and loves to hear about it. “I have this belief that if art is relatable and you can personally connect with it then that’s what makes it good,” said Lupianez. “Art should evoke an emotion and you should feel some type of connection with it. I share my own personal experiences through each piece thinking that someone else might relate to me. When we relate to each other we feel a small connection and that builds a community.” Through organizing the festival and hosting artists year-round at the Bridge Art Gallery, building community has been the ultimate goal for Cheryl and Christopher Mack. “This year’s festival focuses on the strength of our community,” said Cheryl Mack. “The last year has been full of challenges for us all, especially for the creative arts. As we gather safely together at First Street Park, we will celebrate all the wonderful aspects of the arts that reminds us that we are stronger together.” Festival Goers should expect to bask in the simple and joyous beauty of art, in all its forms, and all its places. Welcome back, everyone.
