A romance with ruins Founders of Abandoned Hudson Valley to speak about fascinating remnants of our collective past

A

bandoned Hudson Valley (AHV) is the avocation of Liz Cooke and Andy Milford, who are dedicated to sharing ideas and images of the abandoned, imperiled and forgotten places in the Hudson Valley. AHV is also an online community of photographers and writers who shoot pictures and gather history and anecdotal accounts about these extraordinary local places. Some subjects are well-known and accessible (Bennett College and Bannerman Castle, for example) and others are hidden and dangerous to explore. AHV members seek to record the condition of crumbling structures on their website, abandonedhudsonvalley.com, before they’re demolished by the ravages of time or the wrecking ball.

In many ways, AHV is similar to the long established local history hunters’ website hudsonvalleyruins.org, created by Robert Yasinsac and Thomas Rinaldi, authors of Hudson Valley Ruins: Forgotten Landmarks of an American Landscape.

There are a lot of people who do this, Cooke says: people whom you can trust, who are ethical and will respect the places and not disclose locations (some places are fragile and vulnerable). “We just want to photograph something unique and beautiful in its own tragic way. There are some places about which we really want to know more.” She mentions an old stone house in Kingston that was scheduled for demolition, but after AHV photographed it, some preservationists came in to save it. “It was an important house, but was completely invisible.”

Cooke started out 2013 with a Facebook page that featured photos of the Hudson River State Hospital and Letchworth Village, work she did with her iPhone.

“I was completely energized by being in this place,” she says of the abandoned psychiatric hospital, “this massive, Gothic building. I was really moved, and it looked like people were interested, as well.

Within three or four days, I had 5,000 ‘likes.’ These places captured people’s imaginations.”

She cites Richard Nickel’s Kingston Lounge as an inspiring website filled with photographs of abandoned and deteriorating buildings in the New York metropolitan area. “I would go to Kingston Lounge and see his work, and after moving up here from Brooklyn, I stumbled into this treasure-trove of

amazing places. I was a photographer for many years. I’ve always been interested in subcultures and unseen things. It’s crazy, how much there is to shoot here.”

At some point, the Facebook page stopped being only about Cooke’s work.

Others have stepped in and expanded both the historical data and the photographic archives. AHV is open to new members to participate by writing about and photographing new locations, or by working at more administrative tasks, such as marketing, curating and event planning. The organization invites the submission of photographs to be added to the archives or written work in the form of story ideas, features about abandoned locations and guest columns.

Of particular interest are the real-life Continued on page 6

MOVIE

Dan Stevens and Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast

Back to the drawing board Beauty and the Beast has its charms, but won’t replace the animated version

D

isney Studios’ campaign to churn out live-action versions of their priceless hoard of animated classics continues apace, with mixed results. If 2015’s Cinderella remake was better than 2014’s Maleficent, and last year’s Jungle Book and Bill Condon’s new iteration of Beauty and the Beast are better than either, then one might say that they’re learning as they go. Certainly movie audiences are turning out by the millions to plunk down the price of a ticket to all of these. But a viewer may still be left pondering the question of whether it is aesthetically – as opposed to commercially – necessary to keep on doing this.

We may demand some demonstrations of “female agency� on the part of Disney princesses nowadays, but our attachment to the past output of the Magic Kingdom remains nostalgic, even atavistic in nature.

When real life gets too complex, we find temporary relief and catharsis by fleeing into the simple good-versus-evil realm of fairy tales (only to be reminded how much psychological darkness lurks in their literary and folkloric DNA). Escapism is not a bad thing, in small doses. That’s mostly why Hollywood even exists, after all.

So why do we-the-audience need a new version of Beauty and the Beast with live actors – especially considering the special effects, costume and makeup challenges of having many of them portray animate home furnishings for 95 percent of the movie’s running time? We don’t, really.

ORPHEUM Saugerties • 246-6561

It’s not better than the original. (I can’t speak to how it compares with the stage version, never having seen it.) On the other hand, it’s not going to taint your precious memories of a beloved classic, any more than the 1991 animated version ruined the more frankly erotic pleasures of going back to watch Jean Cocteau’s 1946 version. I’d even go so far as to suggest that you’ll probably enjoy it.

Much of the weight of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast’s success is borne by the Oscarwinning score by Alan Menken, the late Howard Ashman and Tim Rice.

That hasn’t gone away; and the four new numbers by Menken and Rice blend pretty seamlessly with the more familiar songs.

The new cast handles them deftly enough; leads Emma Watson and Dan Stevens aren’t professional singers, but they sing at least as competently as Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling dance in La La Land, which succeeded spectacularly in spite of their modest hoofing skills. Audra McDonald shines in the big belters as Madame de Garderobe, and Emma Thompson as Mrs.

The sets have style, but – for a movie with a production budget of $160 million, recordbreaking for a musical – they’re disappointing.

Call for movies and showtimes

Potts sings surprisingly well in the title number so fondly associated with Angela Lansbury in the animated version.

Indeed, it was the sonic dimension that persuaded this reviewer to let go of my resistance to Beauty and the Beast-live and succumb to the story’s sweeping emotionality. By the third act I was teary-eyed exactly when I was supposed to be. But it took me a while to get there. This movie’s problems aren’t in the music or the singing or the acting; all the principals put in a highly professional job bringing their characters to life, with the redoubtable Kevin Kline particularly stealing the scene every time Belle’s clockwork-tinkering father Maurice is in the picture. And Ewan McGregor chews the scenery lustily in the over-the-top role of Lumière, obviously having the time of his life.

No, the aspect of Beauty and the Beast, somewhat surprisingly, is its look. The art direction just isn’t up to the level of visual magic that modern audiences, spoiled by the wonders of CGI, have come

to expect. Painted backdrops of hills and vales that would have been just fine in a cartoon movie appear cheesy here. The interior and exterior sets of the Beast’s castle look‌well, like stage sets. They have style, but – for a movie with a production budget of $160 million, record-breaking for a musical – seem disappointing in execution. The lighting is too often too dark, the camerawork and editing occasionally sloppy. Busby Berkeley-style overhead shots of elaborately patterned choreography in the boffo “Be Our Guestâ€? number worked better in the animated version (or, for that matter, in a Busby Berkeley movie).

Most critical, visually, is the rendering of the Beast himself; the Cocteau version sets a very high bar. After all, if we’re going to swallow the central romantic premise of a prisoner who falls in love with her captor without flashing on Patty Hearst, we need a hairy Heathcliff, a tragic antihero so soulful and sexy that we will react to his transformation back to human form as Greta Garbo famously did in 1946: “Give me back my Beast!â€? Thankfully, the makeup-and-CGI combo that turns Stevens from a spoiled, empathy-free prince into a tormented hunk with buffalo horns is spot-on. The fact that he and Belle bond first over a shared love of poetry and then over his willingness to make himself vulnerable makes the Stockholm Syndrome considerably more palatable than it might be if you think about this story’s implications overmuch. And then there’s the irresistible swell of that music‌ I’m not even going to get into the social media foofaraw over the fact that the loyalty of LeFou (Josh Gad) to Belle’s irredeemably caddish suitor Gaston (Luke Evans) is here presented as partially founded in physical attraction, or that LeFou gets about five seconds to dance with another guy at the end of the movie. It has been blown way out of proportion. I’m more minded to complain about the movie’s retro fairytale view of wolves as evil man-eaters – not to mention the cinema industry’s continuing inability to render them like real wolves instead of large, nasty, scroungy-looking dogs.

That’s all kind of beside the point.

Maybe Beauty and the Beast didn’t, strictly speaking, need a live remake.

But hey, it’s a fairytale, with hard-earned redemption, a heart-tugging romance and a bunch of really well-crafted songs. Go immerse yourself; and if at times you’re not impressed with what you’re seeing, close your eyes and just listen. – Frances Marion Platt

THE PRESIDENT OF VASSAR COLLEGE DURING INEZ'S TIME strictly forbade any discussion of women’s suffrage on campus.

So Inez and some of her classmates and Vassar alumnae organized a meeting in a nearby cemetery to found a renegade Vassar Votes for Women Club.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PRINTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS DIVISION

In 1913, on the eve of Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration, Vassar alumna and lawyer Inez Milholland led a parade through Washington, DC astride a big white horse, wearing a crown and a long white cape, followed by some 10,000 suffragettes. Crowds of men jeered, spat on and harassed the marchers, but Milholland was afterwards likened to Joan of Arc.

W

hile America readies itself to mark the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution three years from now (presuming that the National Endowment for the Humanities is still around to fund such festivities), New Yorkers can start celebrating 100 years of women’s suffrage this year, since this state gave women the vote in 1917.

Among the planned activities is “Votes for Women: Celebrating New York’s Suffrage Centennial,” a large-scale exhibition that the New York State Education Department and the Office of Cultural Education will mount this autumn at the New York State Museum in Albany.

One of the New York-based heroines of that movement was a Vassar scholar/ athlete named Inez Milholland, who became friends with English suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst during one of her many visits to London. Upon her return to the US for her junior year, Milholland made it her mission to galvanize American women to seek the vote. But the president of Vassar College at the time (1908), James Monroe Taylor, strictly forbade any discussion of women’s suffrage on campus. So Milholland and some of her classmates and Vassar alumnae organized a meeting in a nearby cemetery to found a renegade Vassar Votes for Women Club.

Milholland went on to get a law degree at NYU and became an activist for a variety of social and labor reforms. Talented both at oratory and political theater, she swiftly became a leader in the national Women’s Suffrage movement. In 1913, on the eve of

Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration, she led a parade through Washington, DC astride a big white horse, wearing a crown and a long white cape, followed by some 10,000 suffragettes. Crowds of men jeered, spat on and harassed the marchers, but

Milholland was afterwards likened to Joan of Arc. In 1915 the young activist became involved in opposing US involvement in World War I, then spent some time working as a war correspondent. Her pacifist views got her fired from that assignment, so she returned to the suffrage movement, giving speeches around the country and driving herself so hard that she developed pernicious anemia.

Dead by late 1916 at the age of 30, Milholland was lionized as a martyr for Women’s Suffrage. A mountain in the Adirondacks near her family estate was renamed Mt. Inez in her honor. A younger and eventually more famous Vassar student, Edna St. Vincent Millay, considered Milholland her personal hero, and wrote a sonnet for the unveiling of a memorial to her that ends with the line, “Take up the song; forget the epitaph.”

(Millay later went on to marry Milholland’s widower, Eugen Jan Boissevain.)

In a year when women around the country are once again marching for their rights by the tens of thousands, perhaps it’s time to “Take up the song” that Inez Milholland sang once again.

Clever like a Knox Learn more about the wily Major General, a sort of 18th century Zelig whose Revolutionary HQ was in Vails Gate

O

ne of the cleverest tacticians of the American Revolution, and surely one of its most colorful and controversial characters, was Henry Knox, a Boston bookseller who went on to become George Washington’s first Secretary of War. Local historian Bob Ulrich will give a talk about this little-known Founding Father at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 6 at Knox’s Headquarters in Vails Gate.

Knox was a sort of 18th-century Zelig, always in the thick of history-making events. He helped lift the siege of Boston by hauling cannons confiscated from Fort Ticonderoga on sledges across the Berkshires in winter. He witnessed the Boston Massacre, organized the artillery at the Battle of Bunker Hill, very likely participated in the Boston Tea Party, helped court-martial Major AndrĂŠ, managed the logistics for the audacious Crossing of the Delaware and stood next to General Washington when he stepped down at Fraunces Tavern. He was friends with Alexander Hamilton and had a long and happy marriage to the daughter of a Tory family, who disowned her.

After the war, Knox founded the Society of the Cincinnati and came up with the idea that West Point should become the site of the US Military Academy. Put in charge of brutal militia campaigns to remove indigenous people from their lands in what was then the new nation’s northwest frontier, he did his duty, but called such dispossession “a great violation of the fundamental laws of nature.� He preferred diplomacy with Native peoples, but ruthlessly evicted settlers from his wife’s family’s landholdings in Maine. He made fortunes through land speculation and other risky business ventures, then lost them again. Though Knox charmed many of his contemporaries, Nathaniel Hawthorne vilified him as the model for Colonel Pyncheon in The House of the Seven Gables. Really, there ought to be a movie about this guy.

befuddled by how our electoral system actually works, you might want to check out the documentary film Electoral Dysfunction. Made during the 2012 election race, the issues that it raises are still quite pertinent today. The 90-minute film will be presented twice at the Rosendale Theatre on Tuesday, March 28, at 4 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Admission to both screenings is free, thanks to the sponsorship of the League of Women Voters of the Mid-Hudson Region.

Directed by David Deschamps, Leslie D. Farrell and Bennett Singer, winners of multiple Emmy, Peabody and DuPontColumbia Awards, Electoral Dysfunction takes an in-depth nonpartisan look at our right to vote and exactly how it functions in America. It shows us up-close-andpersonal some of the tactics that political campaign officials use to try to make it harder or easier to vote in certain election districts. Redistricting issues and the trend toward “no-fault� absentee voter registration also come under scrutiny.

Our guide through the electoral maze is political correspondent and humorist Mo Rocca (CBS Sunday Morning, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Wait, Wait...Don’t Tell Me!).

Following the 7:15 p.m. screening, the Theatre will host a post-film discussion on the Electoral College, moderated by professor Joel Lefkowitz of the Department of Political Science & International Relations at SUNY-New Paltz.

The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale. For more information, visit www.rosendaletheatre.org/category/ documentaries.

Poughkeepsie’s Waryas Park hosts Paddy on the River this Saturday So you thought that the St. Patrick’s Day party was over, did you? Guess again, laddie. The self-described Hudson Valley’s Largest St. Patrick’s Day Party, Paddy on the River, got

rescheduled when the forecast for its original date of March 11 turned out bitter cold and windy. It’s an outdoor bash, held at Waryas Park, so a milder day is wanted. With a little of the proverbial luck of the Irish, we’ll get it on March 25.

From noon to 5 p.m. this Saturday, celebrants will gather on the Poughkeepsie

waterfront to hear live music from the Mighty Ploughboys, Ireland the Band and Eddie McCabe and the United Irishmen, drink Irish beer, eat Irish food and peruse the vendors’ imports and Irish-themed wares. General admission costs $12 in advance, $20 at the gate. Kids aged 10 and under get in free (but won’t be allowed in the Beer Garden).

A limited quantity of Mahoney’s Irish Pub VIP Tickets will be sold in advance at $40 each (21+ only). The special package includes three beer tickets, access to the VIP Tent with special beer options, a food voucher good between 1 and 2 p.m. and access to VIP-only portable toilets.

MUSIC Dylan to play at Hutton Brickyards opening in Kingston this June

There are worse ways to ring in a new venue than with a concert by Bob Dylan, the cantankerous Nobel Prizewinner and effective poet laureate of America, if not the nominal one. The Hutton Brickyards are a new, largecapacity summer venue on the Kingston waterfront. Presented by the Bardavon, Dylan makes his visit on Saturday, June 24 at 8 p.m. Tickets, as expected, cost $125 and $75 (seated general admission), $55 (standing).

Purchase tickets at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; at the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or online at Ticketmaster, (800) 745-3000. Bardavon member benefits and special discounts are not available through Ticketmaster.

The Hutton Brickyards are located at 200 North Street in Kingston. For more information, visit www.huttonbrickyards. com.

Dylan sideman and solo artist Augie Meyers will play his axe, the Vox Continental, at the Falcon in Marlboro this Friday night.

MUSIC

Augie Meyers plays the Falcon

F

or all practical purposes, the Hammond B3 is what we mean when we say “organ” in the context or rock, blues and jazz music. Coupled with its walk-in closet-sized companion, the Leslie rotary speaker, the monolithic, ultraversatile Hammond has driven almost all biodiversity out of the organ ecosphere. Surely, a touch of Farfisa here and there is cool in a winking and cheesy way, and reed organs, pipe organs and pump organs have their uses, like the rarest spices on the rack. But all you really need to know is that Hammond = organ and organ = Hammond.

This is just one of the many curious facts about Bob Dylan sideman and solo artist Augie Meyers: He plays the Vox Continental, a bright and thin transistor-based organ with a reversed key color scheme and a sound that says, “I am a British kid in the 1960s and I can’t afford a Hammond.”

But it is Meyers’ axe, and he has been making it sing since the early ’60s, when the Sir Douglas Quintet – his partnership with the legendary songwriter Doug Sahm – rolled out of San Antonio. Meyers went on to contribute substantively to several of Dylan’s best-loved “later” work (Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft) and to do memorable session work with Tom Waits and John Hammond, among many others.

A master of many styles and a man with an utterly distinctive voice, Augie Meyers visits (where else?) the Falcon on Friday, March 24 at 7 p.m. He'll be joined by Frank Carillo and Cindy Cashdollar. Per usual, there is no cover at the Falcon, but generous donation is encouraged and understood. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro.

Reelin’ in the Years: The Music of Steely Dan this Saturday in Hudson The cerebral, advanced and deceptively eccentric pop music of Steely Dan makes for a pretty tough cover.

It really requires an A-team like the one that will assemble at Club Helsinki on Saturday, March 25 at 9 p.m. under the name Reelin’ in the Years: The Music of Steely Dan. The Dan has strong local ties: Walter Becker and Donald Fagen met as students at Bard, celebrated famously in the hit “My Old School” and less famously in the album track “Barrytown.” Fagen resides in the area currently.

From the relatively conventional guitarrock of Can’t Buy a Thrill through to the revolutionary and darkly ironic sophistication of Aja and Gaucho, Steely Dan has had its commercial and critical ups and downs, but has long been a cognoscenti favorite among players. The ensemble put together for this lavish tribute includes some of our best locally residing talent: Jerry Marotta, Jonny Rosch, Scott Petito, Peter Primamore, Jesse Gress, Matt Finck, Chris Pasin, Jay Collins, Chris Eminzer, Anni Krueger, Lindsey Morano and Joey Eppard, among others. Tickets for this show cost $25 and are available at www.helsinkihudson. com. Club Helsinki is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.

Buried Treasure ACLU benefit concert at Bearsville this Friday

O

ur benefit concerts used to be driven by bad weather – really bad weather. Now they seem more likely to be about sustaining critical and endangered social institutions while Power gleefully dismantles the social contract and everyone else suffers. In the latest showing of locally residing stars, the Bearsville Theater hosts “Buried Treasure and Friends: A Concert to Benefit the ACLU” on Friday, March 24 at 8 p.m. The ensemble features Grammy nominee Tracy Bonham, Scott Sharrard (Gregg Allman lead guitarist /musical director), Jay Collins (Gregg Allman, Levon Helm, Donald Fagen) and Kevin Salem (Giant Sand, Chocolate Genius) around a core band of Bari Koral, Brandon Morrison, Will Bryant and Lee Falco. The band digs up gems and deep cuts from Wings, Lucinda Williams, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Chuck Berry and many more. Chogyi Lama & Casey Michael with Calvin Alfaro and James Orr are scheduled to open.

All proceeds from the concert will go to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The evening will also feature a silent auction. The concert is produced by Bari Koral and Fenner Osmond Friedman, age 15, as part of her final project for a schoolrun mentorship with WDST. This event is also supported by Catskills Indivisible and Women Empowering Women.

Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door, with student tickets remaining at $15. Tickets can be purchased at www. bearsvilletheater.com or at the Bearsville Theater box office. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Maddelena Casulana and American composer Emma Lou Diemer are featured alongside better-known women like Clara Schumann, Lili and Nadia

Boulanger, Holly Near and Carly Simon.

“Into the Light” will be performed on Saturday, March 25 at 7 p.m. at the Holy Cross Episcopal Church at 30 Pine

“Flower Songs” in West Park on Sunday Under the direction of Edward Lundergan, Kairos: A Consort of Singers once again fills the acoustically superb chapel of the Holy Cross Monastery with song on Sunday, March 26 at 4 p.m. This spring-themed program features “Flower Songs” for unaccompanied chorus.

Benjamin Britten’s Five Flower Songs, Eric Whitacre’s Three Flower Songs and Irving Fine’s “Have You Seen the White Lily Grow?” will anchor the program.

The program reaches back to the English and Italian Renaissance, with madrigals by John Wilbye and Andrea Gabrieli; to the German Romantics with “Die Primel,” a part song by Felix Mendelssohn celebrating the primrose; and to the American Colonial period with a piece by William Billings. The concert also includes two works by Hudson Valley composers: “A Rose of Sharon” by James M. Fitzwilliam, and the world premiere

ALMANAC WEEKLY

When Julie Rosenfeld arrived at her new job at the University of Missouri at Columbia, she was offered “a fairly decent sum of money” for a new project.

Although as first violinist of the Colorado Quartet she had been involved in numerous commissions of new works, she had never done one for herself. “I thought of commissioning a whole program by six composer friends, and asked for them to be about ten minutes long,” she says. “I premiered them in Columbia last April and the concert was a huge success, with four of the composers in attendance. We talked about the next step and decided we had to do a CD. And for that, we wanted to play the program a whole lot of times.

“I’d met pianist Peter Miyamoto at Columbia and found we had a whole lot of connections. He went to Yale after I did, and he did some coaching with my teacher Szymon Goldberg. We have a lot of friends and colleagues in common.

Now we’ve played numerous programs in Columbia, including the Odyssey Festival, and we plan to continue playing together.”

During spring break, Rosenfeld and Miyamoto are doing a mini-tour on four consecutive nights in New York and Connecticut. One of these concerts takes place on March 29 at Bard College, where Rosenfeld and her quartet were in residence for a decade. The venue, the Bitó Conservatory Building, was constructed

after Rosenfeld left. “So many things have changed in my life, and at Bard,” says Rosenfeld. “I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends.” After the performances, the duo will record their program for Albany Records.

The newly commissioned works were written by Katherine Hoover, Laura Kaminsky, John Halle, Kenneth Fuchs, Tamar Muskal and Stefan Freund. For the Eastern tour, Rosenfeld has added a duet for violin and viola by Ernst Toch, which she will play with her former Colorado Quartet colleague, violist Marka Gustavsson.

Festival of Dance in Kingston on Saturday

If you know someone who could use a reminder of what can happen to innocents in real life when ordinary people lack the courage to question authority, you might want to suggest an outing to see Half Moon Theatre’s newest production, Yours, Anne, which opens on March 25 and runs through April 2 at the Culinary Institute of America’s Marriott Pavilion.

Premiering Off-Broadway in 1996, Yours, Anne is an 80-minute musical adaptation of Frank’s Diary of a Young Girl and the stage play based on it, The Diary of Anne Frank, with libretto and lyrics by Enid Futterman and music by Michael Cohen. Michael Schiralli directs the Half Moon production. Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 8

This Saturday, March 25 at 8 p.m., the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC), located at 601 Broadway in Kingston, will host the return of Ulster Ballet’s Festival of Dance. Dance troupes representing a variety of dance styles from the metropolitan area and all around the region, including the Capital District’s celebrated Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company (shown above), will perform.

OLIVIA ROSE MICHAELS

Castaway Players Theatre Company’s production of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck on Friday and Saturday, March 24 and 25 will bring David Bowie’s classic 1972 album to the stage. The cast includes a six-piece band with appearances by nearly 30 performers.

STAGE

Glam jam Ziggy Stardust at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck

“I

t will feel very much like a concert, but I like to think of it as more of a theatrical experience,” says Sean Matthew Whiteford, founder and artistic director of the Hudson Valley-based Castaway Players Theatre Company. Its production of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck on Friday and Saturday, March 24 and 25 will bring David Bowie’s classic 1972 album to the stage, fleshed out with additional Bowie tunes from the Aladdin Sane era (think “Rebel Rebel” and “Jean Genie”).

The Castaway Players are known for doing shows in the rock genre (The Who’s Tommy, Hair, The Rocky Horror Show), but this production is the first in a concert series for 2017 that will highlight individual artists’ particularly memorable albums. Ziggy Stardust, Bowie’s glam-rock concept album that tells the story of a fictional rock star who acts as a messenger for extraterrestrials, “is one of my favorite albums of all time,” says Whiteford. “I grew up listening to this record.

And I don’t think you even have to know that much about Bowie’s catalogue to know what a revolutionary artist he was. He influenced a lot of people.”

Whiteford’s aim to give audiences an immersive experience is helped along by the logistics of the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. It’s an intimate space to begin with, he explains, where the audience is close to the performers, and he likes to incorporate the trap doors in the back of the theater so performers can use the aisles and enter unexpectedly through the audience. “I don’t think traditional theater captures that feeling of becoming a part of the show,” he says.

Tickets to Ziggy Stardust cost $25, available in advance at www. centerforperformingarts.org. Sales have been brisk, so purchasing sooner rather than later is suggested, but any remaining tickets may be purchased at the door.

(Attendees dressed in Bowie-inspired costume or makeup pay $20.) The show is appropriate for all audiences.

The cast includes a six-piece band with appearances by nearly 30 performers, including R & B recording artist Eric Redd and singer/songwriter JaQuita. In addition to directing, Whiteford will also perform in the show, as will his wife, fashion designer Juda Leah, the Castaway Players’ resident costume designer since 2009.

– Sharyn Flanagan The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Friday/Saturday, March 24/25, 8 p.m., $25/$20, Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, 661 Route 308, Rhinebeck; (845) 876-3080, www.centerforperformingarts.org.

Bardavon screens the Met performing Mozart’s Idomeneo on Saturday Pauline Oliveros

TRIBUTE

Pauline panegyrized Kingston honors the late composer Pauline Oliveros, a pioneer of electronica and a paragon of sound judgment

A

bout 250 people crowded the high-ceilinged Legislative Chamber of Kingston’s City Hall this past Sunday afternoon to pay tribute to someone who made and listened to sound. Composer Pauline Oliveros, who died in Kingston on November 24, was a pioneer of electronic music and inventor of transformative listening methods.

From her Deep Listening Space headquarters along lower Broadway in the Rondout, Oliveros communicated constantly with a worldwide network of musicians, musical theorists and people who loved sound. For several generations of these people, she changed their concept of the way music is made and conceived of.

More than a score of attendees shared their memories of Oliveros as a teacher (she taught most recently at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy and Claremont College in California), a revered musical figure (she taught John Cage a thing or two) and an active performer (on an accordion and a conch shell, among other instruments). But most of all she was remembered as a warm and compassionate human being who taught people not only how to listen deeply, but also how to feel deeply and how to express those feelings. Most remembered of all at this memorial event were her smile and her laugh.

It never took much to bring a twinkle to Pauline’s eye.

Pauline Oliveros embraced new technology and innovative ways of thinking. She seemed always at the forefront of anything to do with sound.

Ward Mintz, chair of the city Arts Commission, read the following: “The Arts Commission has been thinking about a fitting and long-lasting tribute to Pauline. In recognition of her brilliance and extraordinary musical talent and decades-long commitment to the City of Kingston, we’ve decided that there should be a space in the city named for her in perpetuity. It should be near the center of the city, and should be called Deep Listening Plaza in Honor of Pauline Oliveros.” (Sustained applause...hoots... cheers...more applause.)

A collective remembrance of any figure who touched so many souls is always an emotional and extraordinary occasion.

Oliveros has been honored at events in many places around the world. For most of her local friends and fans, there was the feeling that this event at the crowded City Hall was somehow exceptional, that remembering this particular neighbor in this celebration of memory, sharing, support and unconditional love – all built around sound – constituted one of the high points of the attendees’ lives.

The late-afternoon sunlight shone though the six large ten-on-20 windows in the rear of the stately room, casting an irregular geometric shadow on the slanted ceiling. Vibrations of sound bounced off the walls and danced in the space above the audience.

– Geddy Sveikauskas

Quimby Theater, Vanderlyn Hall Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States— it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost.

One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same. ALMOST, MAINE: It’s love. But not quite. ALMOST, MAINE was developed at the Cape Cod Theater Project (Andy Polk, Artistic Director) in 2002, and received its world premiere at Portland Stage Company, where it broke box office records and garnered critical acclaim.

ALMOST, MAINE opened Off-Broadway in the winter of 2005/2006 at the Daryl Roth Theatre (Jack Thomas/Bulldog Theatrical and Bruce Payne, Producers) and was subsequently published by Dramatists Play Service. To date, ALMOST, MAINE has been produced by over 2500 theater companies in the United States (and by over a dozen companies internationally) making it one of the most frequently produced plays of the past decade. $10 suggested donation.

Rhinebeck’s Oblong Books hosts YA author Kelly Jensen When I leafed through this terrific new Young Adult book and saw chapters such as Kody Keplinger’s playlist, “Feminist Songs to Sing along To,” Amandla Stenberg’s “Don’t Cash Crop on My Cornrows” and Ashley Hope Pérez’s “The ‘Nice Girl’ Feminist,” I was immediately drawn to it. Kelly Jensen’s anthology, Here We Are: 44 Voices Write, Draw and Speak about Feminism for the Real World, features contributions from dozens of different writers, dancers, actors and artists offering engaging essays, lists, poems, comics and illustrations about body positivity, romance, gender identity, intersectionality and the greatest girl friendships in fiction.

Last day for Student Creative Expression exhibit in Hyde Park Instead of one more workshop or assembly about bullying, how about seeing directly what our area youth have to say about it, along with respect and kindness? Friday, March 24 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. is the final day to view the Student Creative Expression Exhibit at the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum. Curated by the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center and showcasing work from local youth, from preschoolers through high school seniors, this event is a great way for us to learn about this generation’s perspectives about countering bullying and celebrating our differences. Sounds like an inspiring opportunity that could also launch some new family conversations about connecting with others, exploring beyond stereotypes, celebrating kindness in action and the pain and problems caused by labeling and disassociating from someone else.

This exhibit is free and open to the public of all ages.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Cuts from the crow’s nest View from above illuminates my pruning needs

I

find it very instructive to look down on my trees and shrubs – literally, not figuratively. Sometimes I like to look at them as does the sun (that is, from above) when pruning – especially my trees and shrubs that bear fruits, which are most luscious and pest-free when each branch is bathed in sunlight. My secondstory bedroom window conveniently looks down on a grape arbor over the terrace, and I can position my nine-foothigh orchard ladder in amongst branches of plum, dwarf apple and pear trees.

The pruning does, and should do, more than just bask branches in sunlight. A good pruning job also reduces yield, as potential fruiting stems are lopped off to focus the plant’s energies into fewer, but then more delicious, fruits. Since a large crop one year can reduce yield the following year, annual pruning also makes for good harvest year after year.

And then there’s convenience. Picture an unpruned grapevine in the forest. That vine clambers up a tree to bear its fruit 50 or more feet above the ground: not very convenient for us humans to harvest. I prune to keep my grapes easily accessible with my feet firmly planted on the ground.

The red color of red-twigged dogwood stems is boldest on the youngest stems

Although there are many systems for training and pruning grapes, they’re all relatively simple. I plan, as I look down on my arbor from above, to leave a number of stubs of one-year-old stems – that is, stems that grew last year – for bearing fruit.

But let’s first backtrack to my method of training grapes on the arbor. In its youth, the vine was allowed to grow just a single vigorous stem, its “trunk,” which I lashed at intervals to one of the vertical posts of the arbor. Once the stem reached the top of the arbor, it changed name and direction: It became a “cordon,” which (derived from the same root as “cord”) is a permanent arm off which fruiting stems grow. Over the course of a year or two, I trained the cordon across the top of the arbor.

Buds along the cordon give rise to shoots that, after they are one year old and become “canes,” themselves give rise to fruiting shoots. After each fruiting shoot becomes a cane, it can give rise to new fruiting shoots. Without pruning, these fruiting shoots would keep moving further and further away from the cordon.

My pruning thwarts my grapevine’s aspiration to become the majestic, high-reaching vine of the forest. Each year I shorten canes to only a couple of buds long. Of course, fruiting shoots will continue to inch further and further from the cordon, two buds at a time; so some years I cut a fruiting lateral right back to the cordon. Some buds will push out new, better-positioned shoots.

Red-twigged dogwoods are the easiest of all plants to prune.

STEVEN DEPOLO

With the plant conveniently contained, I further reduce the potential crop by reducing the number of fruiting canes, pruning enough away so that each is about a foot apart.

Right now, all this pruning is in my head rather than my hands. Outside, the theme is white. A March blizzard has already laid a foot of powdery snow on the ground, and howling winds swirl falling snowflakes everywhere else.

I’ll prune the grapes as soon as spring returns. Then, I’ll also prune a patch of red-twigged dogwoods: the easiest of all plants to prune.

Red-twigged dogwoods have, obviously, red twigs, whose redness is brought out by winter cold. That red color, like the red of male cardinals, is a pretty sight in winter against the achromatic snowy backdrop.

The red color of red-twigged dogwood stems is boldest on the youngest stems: those that grew the previous season. So once this winter ends, those now-red stems have lost their youthfulness, and will be drab next winter.

I’m going to cut all the stems right to the ground! This dramatic pruning will coax a flush of new stems from ground level, which, next winter, will be fire-engine-red. Easy.

Two resources for more about pruning: My book, The Pruning Book, available at the usual outlets or, signed, from my website; and a Pruning Workshop that I will be holding on April 22 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. For more information, see www.leereich.com/workshops.

NIGHT SKY

Catch the Hunter Dark winter skies are made for observing Orion

W

ith a period of dark moonless skies coming up, let’s do some oldfashioned stargazing. Sure, mind-stuff like dark energy provides great mental intrigue, but there’s nothing like the real, the tangible. Just as the word “water” is not actual water, the real universe will never be fully apprehended by our logic. So let’s go hands-on, under the real sky.

Of the 88 constellations, most are incoherent, hallucinogenic smatterings. Orion is different. Orion’s easily identified belt is often the first celestial pattern a child will notice. And what better place to start strolling the boulevards of the universe?

More than merely obvious, the threestars-in-a-row not only mark the most brilliant constellation, but float like a navigational buoy in the middle of the sky.

Can the sky have a “middle?” Yes, because Orion’s belt, that most famous article of cosmic clothing, sits smack on the celestial equator – meaning it floats directly over the Equator of Earth.

Only stars in that location are seen by everyone, everywhere. A star over one of the poles (the North Star, say) is forever cloaked from people of the opposite hemisphere, obstructed by Earth itself.

From most of the US, about a fourth of the cosmos never rises. Major luminaries forever concealed from view include the nearest star (Proxima Centauri), the night’s second-brightest (Canopus) and the Southern Cross.

But equatorial constellations are the lingua franca of space. Orion’s belt, straddling the Equator like a diplomat, is displayed around the world.

While most cultures picture it as a belt, a few thousand years ago the Sumerians visualized it as the waistline of a sheep. Apparently this designation was too ludicrous to endure, and in a wonderful, woolen rags-to-riches story, Orion overcame his ovine birth and got promoted to human.

The Hunter’s stars are not scattered randomly. Most share the same awesome 900to-2,000 light-years’ distance, forming a lavish association of blue suns of arc-welder intensity. Merely 1/1,000th the age of Earth, these infants were born together from an immense cloud of gas that still dreamily envelops the constellation.

From our un-light-polluted region, binoculars pointed at the belt show it immersed in a multitude of faint stars like a swarm of fireflies. In truly rural areas this faint cluster is seen with the naked eye. Your sky therefore passes the purity test if you can glimpse many more than just the three belt stars in that spot.

While the binoculars are handy, swing them below the leftmost belt star to the nearest little fuzzy patch: the Orion Nebula. Cameras attached to telescopes reveal this to display crimson, emerald and blue knots, whose dancing eddies magically sprout the fires of newborn suns. This stellar nursery is so large that our fastest rockets would need a half-million years to cross it. The entire womb glows like neon.

Equidistant above and below the belt stand two brilliant stars: pumpkin-colored Betelgeuse and blue/white Rigel. More than Orion’s brightest star, Rigel is among the

most luminous objects in the galaxy, shining with the light of 55,000 Suns. If it were as nearby as Proxima Centauri, we could read by its light – and the night sky would be deep blue instead of black. As for orange Betelgeuse (say BET’l’jooz), it’s the largest bright star in all the heavens. If our Earth were represented by the period at the end of this sentence, Betelgeuse would be a ball that could enclose a 20-story building.

Betelgeuse stands about halfway between us and all those blue/white suns that make up the rest of the constellation. It’s the gateway to the fabulous city beyond, Orion’s dazzling sapphires that will adorn the January sky every winter of our lives.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most faithful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
