NATURE Treasures for the taking Fee-free National Park Week gets underway this Saturday at three Hyde Park sites

I

n case you hadn’t heard yet, 2016 marks the centennial of the founding of the National Park Service (NPS). To celebrate, NPS sites throughout the US are waiving entrance fees on 16 days this year. A nine-day blowout called National Park Week gets underway this Saturday, April 16 and runs through April 24, spanning two full weekends and conveniently incorporating Earth Day. While New York’s Adirondack Park is the largest area of protected public land in the country – bigger than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier and Grand Canyon National Parks combined – the state’s list of NPS-administered sites seems pathetically short at six. Fortunately for mid-Hudsonites, half of those are located right here in Hyde Park: the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site and the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site.

If you haven’t visited these national treasures lately (or ever), this is a terrific chance to remind yourself why people come here from all over to see them.

Get off the couch, potato! Bring the whole family! It’s free! For more info about National Park Week, visit www. nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparks.htm or www.nationalparks.org /connect/

Creation Committee of the Reformed Church of New Paltz and the New Paltz Climate Action Coalition – the celebration will focus on changing-climate issues, along with ways to “think local” and “live green.”

Come hear talks by environmentally friendly individuals and groups who will share ways to care for the Earth and its inhabitants. Activities for kids are planned, and food will be available for purchase.

Entertainment will be family-oriented, including a terrific lineup of several favorite area music groups. Spirit of Thunderheart, the Tree-Huggers, Sherry Kitay with Gene and Tom Cotton, the Contemporary Music Group from St. Joseph’s Church, Chai Notes from the Jewish Congregation of New Paltz, Gideon’s Army, Rich Hines and the Hillbilly Drifters and Tulula! will perform on the church porch throughout the day.

And at 1:40 p.m., there will be a special moment of sharing from the faith leaders in our surrounding community.

Linking various faith communities together, Interfaith Earth Action is a coalition of individuals from diverse backgrounds committed to addressing local environmental issues through grassroots action. The mission is to share information and take action that will conserve and support a sustainable, resilient local environment in the face of threats such as climate change. Members work collaboratively across diverse faith communities and ethical principles to express spirituality and core beliefs through community outreach, educational projects and calls for environmental action in New Paltz and neighboring areas.

Represented houses of worship include the Reformed Church of New Paltz, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church, Jewish Congregation of New Paltz, St. Augustine Catholic Church, New Paltz Friends Meeting, New Paltz United Methodist Church, Kol Hai Hudson Valley Jewish Renewal, Budding Flower (Buddhist) Sangha, Baha’i of the Hudson Valley, Schaghticoke First Nations, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills and Wallkill Reformed Church.

“New members are always welcome,” says Jim O’Dowd of the Reformed Church of New Paltz. Citing the way that diverse groups came together back in the 1960s to work for civil rights for all, he notes that Interfaith Earth Action is open to all faiths, including people not affiliated with specific houses of worship. Meeting every other Wednesday at 7 p.m. at a rotating schedule of houses of worship, the group effectively crosses the boundaries of religious belief systems for the benefit of all. “The environment is not a partisan issue,” O’Dowd says. “This is not a liberal issue. What’s happening today with our environment is a real crisis. And if we don’t make changes, there will be catastrophic consequences. The fair is moving from its usual Sunday to a Saturday so that more houses of worship can participate, and we’re extending the hours this year.”

NIGHT SKY

Planets coming out of our ears It’s a weekend to be looking up

W

e’ve got to atone for the past five months. There have been no planets, the sky has been largely cloudy, and anyway it has been too chilly to be standing around outdoors at night. It all changes this weekend.

First, the Moon is absolutely showing off. Come on, you’ve got some kind of binoculars lying around. Maybe you’re rich and even have an image-stabilized model – maybe even a small telescope. If so, then anytime from Thursday night through Sunday night you want to look at the Moon. Its craters and mountains are being optimally illuminated: really dramatic.

Secondly, that bright star to the left of the Moon on Saturday night is Jupiter. On Sunday night the two are almost touching.

And this Monday night, Jupiter is to the right of the Moon – in other words, easy to find. Alternatively, it’s simply the brightest starlike object in the heavens. So it’s a cinch to imitate Galileo and check it out, even if all you have is a wobbly small telescope.

I mean, here is the most massive planet.

Its weight equals all the other planets put together and doubled. At least two of its moons have liquid water and a good chance for extraterrestrial life. Plus, that world has tons of cool features, like a magnetic field that dwarfs ours. It’s so radioactive and enormous that if you could see it visually when you look toward Jupiter, it would appear larger than the Sun. Third, we’ve got Mercury at its very best. Just look in the direction of sunset between 8 and 8:20 p.m. It’s not even super-low anymore. But it is the lowest-down star in that direction. Just find a place where the direction towards the sunset isn’t blocked by hills or trees. Trust me, it’s a thrill to see Mercury, and this is the best opportunity of the year by far.

That little cluster of stars above Mercury and to the right of Orion is the famous Seven Sisters, also known as the Pleiades. It has been revered by most cultures throughout history. As just one example (and I’d love to give you 20 more), the Hindus regarded it as the fire of their fire god, Agni. In India it’s venerated and associated with the autumn holiday and fire festival of Diwali. If you picture the Pleiades as blue flames from the fire god Agni, well, it’s a god whose name we take in vain every time we use the word ignite.

Jupiter’s weight equals all the other planets put together and doubled.

NASA

Take a look at the Moon anytime from Thursday night through Sunday night. Its craters and mountains are being optimally illuminated: really dramatic.

Anyway, point your binoculars at the Seven Sisters and you won’t be disappointed.

They may be the finest celestial target for binoculars. You’ll see their blue color, and their number will jump from the naked-eye six to a gorgeous swarm of many dozens.

Lots of reasons to look at the sky this week. All we need is clear weather. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous “Night Sky� columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Nipped in the bud Early warmth + late frosts = garden casualties

T

he talk of the town these days is the weather – in this town, at least, and other towns throughout the Northeast. After a relatively snowless winter punctuated with warm spells, spring knocked early at winter’s door and was let in. Even I, who try to be guided by the calendar rather than my gut, succumbed, planting peas a full two weeks earlier than my usual date of April 1. Flowering trees and bushes – and more importantly, those whose flowers later morph into luscious fruits – similarly fell prey to spring weather’s apparent arrival.

As I write, snowflakes tumble down from a gray sky, adding to the three inches of snow already piled onto spring-green grass. Temperatures tonight and tomorrow night are predicted to drop near 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We’ve all been duped!

I’m most concerned – and least able to do anything – about weather’s effect on my fruit trees and bushes. Nanking cherries were in full bloom a few days ago, a full two weeks earlier than average. Asian pear flowerbuds look about to pop open, blueberry buds have fattened in preparation for opening and blackcurrants and gooseberries have almost fully leafed out.

Options available to commercial orchards are not feasible in backyards – such as sprinkling plants with water so that the heat of fusion released as water freezes keeps buds warm; you can’t stop sprinkling until weather warms enough to melt all ice. On clear cold nights, heavier cold air sinks, but can be warmed by mixing in warm air from higher up. Not many backyard gardeners have wind machines or are willing to have a helicopter hover overhead all night pushing down warmer air.

What we backyard growers can do that orchardists cannot, feasibly, is to snug a few small plants – bushes and dwarf trees – beneath a blanket (except that I have a lot more than a few small fruit plants). That’s about it, besides keeping fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

Peaches are famous for their early blossoming, so I was especially worried for them.

My peach tree spent its first few years in a large pot that could be conveniently lugged into the garage whenever cold weather threatened its blossoms.

No need to worry this year: I checked the fat flowerbuds, and they are already dead.

Winter’s cold and/or fluctuating temperatures evidently had already done them in.

Even I succumbed, planting peas a full two weeks earlier than my usual date of April 1.

My early-planted peas took advantage of the last couple of weeks of balmy weather and sprouted quickly. Temperatures near 20 degrees will surely freeze those sprouts. They might resprout from protected buds belowground, or not.

I nudged Ol’ Man Winter aside and created a warmer microclimate over the sprouts by putting up metal hoops covered with row covers over them. They may have been better off with the blanket of snow tucked all around them. Then again, the snow cover

might settle too much, or blow away.

In a few days, I’ll see how the peas fared. Worst-case scenario: replant.

“Climate change” is the battle cry for this wacky weather. But is it really so wacky?

As far as the cold, the average date for the last killing frost of spring in my garden is around the third week in May. The key word here is “average.” Looking at a tabulation of percent chance of cold temperatures on various spring dates (http://davesgarden.com/ guides/freeze-frost-dates), on average there’s a 50 percent chance of the thermometer hitting 24 degrees on April 14 around here, a ten percent chance on April 27.

“Frost” means 32 degrees Fahrenheit. For that magic 32, which is lethal to tomato and pepper seedlings but of no consequence to cabbage and onion transplants, there’s a 50 percent chance of that temperature on May 13, even a ten percent chance on May 27.

Of course, temperatures in my (or your) garden could be a few degrees different from those at nearby weather stations, which supply those averages. Still, looking back at my own records, while last year Nanking cherries blossomed here on May 2 in 1999, they blossomed on April 18 in 2004, on April 26 in 2012 and on March 29 in 2015.

So it seems like wacky weather is the norm. Except this year, it does still seem that the early warming was slightly earlier, and the later cold (15 degrees now, the day after the snowfall) more intense. Then again, Nanking cherries have never failed me.

Street fair & kids’ activities mark Earth Day in Poughkeepsie Most of us don’t tend to look at cities as ecosystems, but they are. That’s the perspective that the Poughkeepsie Earth Day Committee is cultivating this month with a busy schedule of free public events, sponsored in partnership with the Environmental Cooperative at the Vassar Barns.

“Earth Day is about more than just one day a year,” says Jen Rubbo, manager of the Environmental Cooperative. “These events help us celebrate the nature that’s all around us as well as raise awareness of the challenges facing the environment.”

While Earth Day officially falls on April 22, Poughkeepsie’s focal celebration of

its urban ecosystem – its communities, diversity and biodiversity – takes place this Saturday, April 16, coinciding with the Queen City Arts weekend. Earth Day festivities will take place on Main Street between Market and Academy Streets, and also at the Public Safety Building on Main between Clinton and Cherry Streets. Activities will include street puppets, a vintage bike sale and bike rodeo, hands-on workshops and a walking tour of public art in Poughkeepsie. For a complete listing of citywide events, e-mail pkearthday@gmail.com or visit www.facebook.com/poughkeepsie-earthday-1012299282141587.

The Environmental Cooperative will kick off this weekend’s holistic hoopla by organizing an Invasive Vine Species Removal posse to help save trees at the Vassar Farm and Ecological Preserve.

Invasive vine species such as Oriental bittersweet and porcelainberry can kill trees by wrapping around the trunk and “strangling” trees or by weighing canopies down until the trees fall over. The vine management operation takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. this Friday, April 15.

On Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, before the Earth Day street party gets underway, the Environmental Cooperative, the Middle Main Initiative and United Way of Dutchess County will team up to clean Main Street and parts of the Fall Kill. The cleanup crew will meet at Murphy Park, located at 517 Main Street in Poughkeepsie.

ART Planting paper Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale seeks volunteers to plant seedlings at ArtFarm

?

A

rtmaking is conventionally seen as an “indoorsy” sort of activity, sometimes involving the use of toxic materials. The innovative artists at Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) in Rosendale have taken their passion for the paper arts in a more outward, healthy and sustainable direction by growing their own fibers for papermaking. Since 1996, their ArtFarm project has been cultivating a wide variety of plants, some traditionally used for fiber and others purely experimental. The idea was to explore new types of paper, using the new fibers on their own or combining them with traditional plants to enhance their known qualities. With the help of AmeriCorps and Student Conservation Association volunteers, WSW cleared a plot of wasteland near its Binnewater headquarters to plant native species (and forage invasive ones), testing the materials in its papermaking studio for their strength, coloring capacities and printworthiness.

By now the project has tested well over 100 plants, provided residencies for artists and created traveling exhibitions featuring handmade paper art. Artists work with the fibers for making unusual sheets and as a sculptural medium.

The entire process, from planting to processing, has become integral to WSW’s education programs, the Summer Art Institute and Hands-on Art. Children from the Kingston public schools come to WSW to learn how paper is made and to work with the fiber as an art material and in an innovative “Chemistry and Art” class.

With the soil warming up and Earth Day nearly upon us, ArtFarm is in need of spring volunteers to help prepare for the growing season. Volunteer Days have been scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays, April 29 and 30 and May 6 and 7. Interested in helping plant seedlings for kenaf, yucca, indigo and other ArtFarm staples? Call (845) 658-9133 or e-mail info@wsworkshop.org. To learn more about the project, visit www.wsworkshop. org/artfarm.

The pick of the pics Photowork ’16 on view through April 30 at Poughkeepsie’s Barrett Art Center If one picture is truly worth a thousand words, you won’t need much text to persuade you that Photowork, the national juried photography exhibition currently on view at Poughkeepsie’s historic Barrett House, is a major factor in the formula that makes it the Little Art Center That Could. A juxtaposition of traditional styles and cutting-edge images, the show celebrates the photograph both as fine art and as social commentary, and draws serious photography aficionados from at least a five-county radius.

KEEGAN ALES HOSTS O+LD CAPITAL CAN-DESIGN REVEAL PARTY

S

ince its beginning, the revolutionary O+ Festival has been about synergies, imaginative bartering and bridgebuilding in the streets of Uptown Kingston (and the streets of Petaluma, California as well). This spirit extends now to the temporary rebranding of Old Capital, one of Keegan Ales’ flagship beers, as O+LD Capital.

Fifteen artists and designers answered O+’s call for O+LD Capital can-design submissions. The Festival’s panelists winnowed the submissions down to five finalists, but We the People get to choose the winner among designs by Maxfield Bala, O+ Kingston alumnus Will Lytle (Thorneater Comics), Andrew Nelson (Down in the Valley Designs), Craig Valentino (Craig Valentino Design) and Ryan Williams.

Vote at http://opositivefestival.org or attend the O+LD Capital Can-Design Reveal Party on Sunday, April 17 at 3 p.m. at Keegan Ales at 20 St. James Street in Kingston. This pay-what-you-CAN fundraiser features music by 2015 O+ Festival alums Kyle & the Pity Party. Every dollar donated is worth double, because of a $245,000 matching grant from the Tides Foundation.

Entries and prizewinners in this year’s Photowork exhibit – the 29th annual – were selected by Karen Irvine, curator and associate director at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.

Hailing from across the country, from Poughkeepsie to Spokane, the artists represented include Lars Anderson, Amy Becker, Eric Bladholm, Patrick Carr, Sally Chapman, Mark Chen, Carli Choi, Sharon Covert, Shona Curtis, John Francis, Julie Gautier-Downes, Karen Graffeo, Natalie Fay Green, Canbra Hodsdon, Janet Holmes, Susan Keiser, John Lawler, James L ong, Emily L oving, Michael Marshall, Jonathan McFadden, Jenna Mulhall-Brereton, Paul Murray, Paolo Nigris, Leah Oates, Jackson Patterson, James Reeder, Mark Schoon, Everett Smith, Mike Vance, Aaron Wax, Colin Young and Zijie Zhu. Photowork ’16 is open to the public Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 12 noon to 3 p.m. through April 30. The Barrett Art Center is located at 55 Noxon Street in Poughkeepsie. For more info, visit www.barrettartcenter.org/exhibitionsevents/photowork-16-annual-juriedphotography-exhibition.

MUSIC Stomp is great, but it killed my band

L

uke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas’ enduringly popular performance piece Stomp is part musical composition, part dance, part wordless comedy and, on some level, part creation-myth narrative in which humans recognize rhythm and the essence of music in themselves and in their environment. Its repeated plot device is the discovery and awakening of sound, pattern and – with the joining of others – complexity, interdependence and community through the most ordinary and magic-depleted objects: matchbooks, brooms and hubcaps, the refuse of the industrial world.

The players appear as urban primitives, janitorial in ratty garb, themselves Industrial Age refuse living in a comfortless, meta-theatrical setting, equipped with a scant-but-critical materialism that is just barely more than their own bodies. It is what the world has offered them. The musical movements typically start not with artistic intent, but with sparks of recognition: The

player likes the sound of a workplace accident and runs with it. Nearby sootnosed ragamuffins join in from under lids. Next thing you know, it is a riot of complex design. Stomp revels in the aboriginal impulse of music, spiking it, ’90s-style, with the thematic undercurrent of a radical, almost-Marxist populism: a celebration of the adaptability and the irrepressibility of the spark (and its intensification amongst the forgotten and oppressed).

But in the hands (and feet) of the New York cast of the ’90s – fierce; gym-body buff; spangled in its multiculturalism, gender fluidity and urban-slam style – Stomp sent a contrary message as well, equally blunt: You can’t do this. It is too hard for you. This jam is for the fiercely talented alone, the kinesthetically superior ones wherever the social order should locate them, those hardwired for physical virtuosity. It’s not Everyman; it’s Superman. A “y’all join-in-now” participatory outreach would have made a lot of commercial sense (and is certainly

how they would have played it in the ’70s), but no: Stomp never once invited you to stomp. Stomp was not really about the universal prerogative of rhythm; it was about the exclusive prerogatives of badassness.

And it killed my band, so maybe I’m still a little hurt. In ’96, Wormwood was rolling along, modestly peaking, even: Our third record was well-underway and hinting strongly at big-leap growth, and we were finally approaching consistency as a live group, the bugaboo and Grail quest of my entire musical life. People were listening.

Adrian Belew half-offered to produce us, but I think that he had been drinking.

Then, in about one week’s time, Mark announced that he was leaving to tour the world with Mercury Rev, and Seth got cast in Stomp. Ah, the body-blows of success when it calls on your friends, twice in one week, taking out your band out in the process.

My consolation was a frequent spot on the friends-and-family bench, last row of the balcony at the Orpheum on Second

UHADI & ALL-STAR GUESTS PERFORM SALUTE TO AFRICA!

T

annersville's heavyweight jazz incubator, the Catskill Jazz Factory, continues to pair in fruitful and surprising ways with the ever-ambitious musical programming at Bard College in Annandaleon-Hudson. On Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m., the two institutions present Salute to Africa! a performance at Bard's Fisher Center by Uhadi, masters of the Johannesburg jazz scene. Led by saxophonist McCoy Mrubata and featuring trumpeter Feya Faku, pianist Paul Hanmer, bassist Herbie Tsoaeli and drummer Justin Badenhorst, Uhadi will be joined by a host of special guests, including master Afro/Latin trombonist Chris Washburne, the remarkable trombonist Raynel Frazier, rising star South African vocalist Vuyo Sotashe, blues guitarist Gary Wittner, saxophonist T. K. Blue, trumpeter Lesedi Ntsane, extraordinary vocalist Nonhlanhla Kheswa and Evan Christopher, master New Orleans clarinetist. This exclusive lineup is for one night only. In addition to this performance, Uhadi will visit an array of regional classrooms and lecture halls throughout the week. The Bard performance will take place at the Richard B. Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater on the campus of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson. Ticket prices range from $35 to $50. For more information, visit www.catskilljazzfactory.org.

Stomp finally realized, 20 years later, in the first three paragraphs above: that it wasn’t global musical Marxism after all, but a global musical Nietzscheism.

Then one night, Seth got me on the bench for a special performance. (Stomp doesn’t really have special performances; it is, if anything, fiercely consistent.) The show’s British creator, Luke Creswell, would be appearing in the lead role. Yes, Stomp has a lead role. I don’t remember the circumstances, but it might have been shortly after the night when Seth’s friend (and thus mine) Dashiell Eaves broke his foot badly during the broom sequence, finishing out the long remainder of the show through white beads of pain, and then taking a vacation. He has since gone on to play Rolf in The Sound of Music on Broadway and to get punched in the balls by a mechanical fist in a shaving commercial.

And that was the night that Luke Creswell put my theory to rest. It was a revelation to see the piece play in the hands and feet of its creator: light, elfin, crisp and mindlessly easy-looking, utterly free of the fierce “slam” attitude of his New York cast of the ’90s. The contentious street vibe just bled away – even from the rest of his New York cast. It was just music. It was just joy. It just shut me up about it. Until now. Luke, Stomp is great.

But it killed my band.

Stomp makes its Kingston premiere (took a while) at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) on Saturday, April 16

at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $33 to $53 based on location. Purchase tickets in person at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via Ticketmaster, (800) 745-3000.

Marcia Ball + Open House in memory of Levon in Woodstock Tattooed Lady and the Alligator Man: The title alone tells you quite a bit about Marcia Ball’s music, does it not? The husky-voiced singer and pianist plays a deep grooving roadhouse rock ‘n’ roll that references blues, zydeco, honky-tonk, New Orleans backline and lots more. The record is a roots rave.

Catch this breakout star of the genre at a performance at Levon’s Midnight Ramble in Woodstock on Wednesday, April 20 at 7 p.m. She will perform as a part of the Woodstock Lonestars, which also features Cindy Cashdollar, Amy Helm, Shelley King and Carolyn Wonderland. Tickets

“I call it ‘Deadtronica,’ though it is really not the best description,” says ke y b o a r d i s t / s i n g e r /s o n g writer Alex Mazur of S k e l e t o n Keys, his latest in a long (and lengthening) career of Grateful Dead tribute bands and original bands in the jam mode. Mazur’s band the Deadbeats has been a staple of the regional club scene for what seems like 25 years.

Gratefully Yours – a novel project in which fans submitted dream Dead set lists that the group would mull over and ultimately perform – brought Mazur to even-bigger stages and into the company of jam royalty players.

Skeleton Keys is a jam band with an experimental twist: It has no guitarists, and instead features two keyboardists on instruments both traditional and electro.

While still rooted in the songcraft that is at the heart of the trad-jam tradition, Skeleton Keys gets “out there” in ways that may be exciting and new. Skeleton Keys mixes originals with a variety of covers, some Deadcentric but many from other canons entirely.

You certainly won’t be “all alone” this Sunday evening when Boz Scaggs takes the stage at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC): Tickets are selling fast for the concert by the blueeyed soul singer and R & B musician who crooned “We’re All Alone” while fans fell in love and hit the dance floor to “Lido Shuffle” back in the day. The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter’s Capital Records release, Silk Degrees, reached #2 on the US pop album charts in the late ’70s, and Scaggs has been producing soulful, danceable cross-genre music all along. His concert at UPAC is part of an extensive tour, and when he leaves here, he’ll head down to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and crisscross the US. Before striking out on his own to release several chart-topping hits featuring his signature singing, Scaggs was a guitarist in the Steve Miller Band. In a 2015 television interview with Tavis Smiley, Scaggs talked

He said that he “sat out the ’80s” and didn’t make much music until his desire for it returned. He made a couple of jazz recordings featuring tunes from the Great American Songbook. He started the Scaggs Vineyard on his Napa property, where he’s a hands-on proprietor engaged in the crafting and production of

just 350 cases annually of French-style red and rosé wines.

But back to the music: His 2015 release, A Fool to Care (429 Records), reached #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, an impressive testament to his staying power after nearly five decades in the music industry. The R & B, soul and rock are there, of course, but you can also hear country influences on several cuts, one notably featuring Bonnie Raitt on slide guitar and another where Scaggs trades vocal riffs with Lucinda Williams. A man of musical surprises.

~The Food~ Fine Asian Cuisine Specializing in Fresh Seafood & Vegetarian with a Flair!

How do parents manage to go on after the utterly unexpected suicide of a beloved child? If you’re Elise Gold and Mathew Swerdloff of New Paltz, you start a foundation in your late daughter’s name, with a mission that was close to her heart. You work closely with other local parents to help create a safer, more supportive community for young people who might be concealing their struggles from the adult world. And if you have lots of musicians in your social circle, you organize a concert to celebrate your daughter’s life and legacy.

The latter effort bears fruit this Sunday afternoon at the Julien J. Studley Theatre in the Old Main Building on the SUNYNew Paltz campus. The concert, titled “The Candle and the Heart,” is a benefit for the Maya Gold Foundation, and features

Caroline Doctorow, Saturday Night Bluegrass Band play Kleinert in Woodstock Singer Caroline Doctorow and Woodstock’s Saturday Night Bluegrass Band will form a double bill for an evening concert of folk, bluegrass and Americana at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 16 at the Kleinert/ James Center for the Arts, located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Doctorow is a chart-topping folksinger and songwriter, with a voice that recalls Judy Collins and Sandy Denny. In addition to 11 solo albums, she released the first retrospective of the work of folk icons Richard and Mimi Fariña, Another Country, which received critical acclaim. She tours with her folk band Caroline’s Trio on fiddle and upright bass.

The Saturday Night Bluegrass Band plays fine grass-fed Americana, country and more, featuring Woodstock Times editor Brian Hollander on guitar, Dobro and vocals, Tim Kapeluck on mandolin and vocals, Geoff Harden on bass and vocals, Guy “Fooch” Fischetti on fiddle and pedal steel and Eric Weissberg on vocals and banjo. Vocalist Fran Hollander is sure to join the band for a couple of tunes.

Phoebe Legere & Bon Appetit Band play Rosendale Café Phoebe Legere and her Bon Appetit Band will be performing at the Rosendale Café on April 16 at 8 p.m.

While Bon Appetit is a family-friendly Cajun party band that blends elements of zydeco, New Orleans jazz, country, folk and blues into a spicy gumbo, Legere’s career has been all over the musical map: a bizarre eclecticism that few diehard eclectics could hope to rival. Much of her output of this millennium is ardently avantgarde and electro, owing more to the modern classical hybrid music of Scott Walker than to Clifton Chenier. Much of Legere’s recent music is of the sort where you look at all your open browser windows to make sure that two files aren’t playing simultaneously. This makes her relatively reverent and traditional Cajun outings all the more fascinating.

Admission costs $10. The Rosendale Café is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. For more information, call (845) 658-9048 or visit www. rosendalecafe.com.

MOVIE Broad comedy The Boss wastes Melissa McCarthy ’s considerable talents

T

he last time I picked a Melissa McCarthy movie (2014’s Tammy) to review, I ended up regretting my choice. Now, largely motivated by McCarthy’s reputation as a brilliant comedienne and a wish to give her another chance, I went to see The Boss. Not to put too fine a point on it, it pretty much sucked.

Alas, I seem to keep passing up those vehicles that have earned the actress the aforementioned sterling reputation, along with an Emmy and nominations for an Oscar, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. Just last week the MTV Movie Awards crowned her a Comedic Genius. Her best work on the big screen seems to have occurred in pretty much anything directed by Paul Feig; her worst, in those films that she co-writes with her husband, Ben Falcone, and lets him direct – like Tammy and The Boss.

Writing and directing are precisely where McCarthy’s latest film falls flat.

It’s easy to see from her performance that there are good reasons why she is regarded as a force of nature. Her stock in trade is her crude, over-the-top brassiness, her utterly unfiltered motormouth.

It’s a product that sells well in today’s onscreen market: the distaff equivalent of the raunchy bromances about painfully juvenile 30-something men that are churned out with regularity by the likes of Judd Apatow.

The analogy holds in the sociallymaladapted-female-bonding theme that underlies the narrative and characterizations in The Boss. McCarthy plays cutthroat CEO Michelle Darnell, a boorish and narcissistic but highly successful self-made queen bee. Michelle is a character first conceived by the comic way back in her improv days with the Groundlings. This screenplay has her walking in the footsteps of Martha Stewart, sent to a rather cushy women’s prison for insider trading. But unlike

Melissa McCarthy in The Boss

Stewart, there’s no financial empire left standing to welcome Michelle back when her short sentence is up; her home is in foreclosure and her toxic personality and predilection for stealing other people’s ideas have alienated pretty much everyone with whom she has ever worked.

Desperate Michelle winds up on the doorstep of her former executive assistant, Claire Rawlins (Kristen Bell), a single mother who lives in a modest walkup apartment. Claire reluctantly agrees to let Michelle stay until she gets back on her feet. Abuse of hospitality ensues, but a shaky bond begins to develop nonetheless between the abrasive, entitled former business mogul and Claire’s daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson). When Michelle agrees to take Rachel to her meeting of the local Dandelions (read: Girl Scouts) troop, she gets fired up by the potential of the business model of selling cookies door-to-door and proposes to Claire that they become partners in a new enterprise using young girls to market Claire’s killer brownies.

There are some mildly funny moments in Michelle’s scheme to outcompete the not-for-profit Dandelion cookie operation with a purely profit-motivated cadre of scrappy tween girls whose Che Guevarainspired red berets belie the crassest capitalism of their sales approach. But any quest for deeper satirical meaning in this paper-thin plot is doomed to yield scant rewards. The script is no more than

a two-dimensional frame for McCarthy’s schtik, whose admittedly high energy level propels the action forward but takes it nowhere particularly interesting.

The big finale involves a bizarre nighttime raid on the corporate headquarters of Michelle’s most sinister and determined corporate rival – and onetime lover – Renault (Peter Dinklage), in an effort to retrieve the document in which she impulsively sold him the brownie business whilst on the outs with Claire and Rachel. Seller’s remorse somehow leads to a slapstick swordfight and other extremely silly goings-on before all is sorted out.

The characterizations in The Boss are far too broad and the dialogue mostly too weak on wit to take full advantage of the cast’s talents. Bell comes off best simply because her character is the least buffoonish. Dinklage, who can be extremely funny when given good

CALM Treasures of lasting value that will change your life – forever. That’s what you’ll ďŹ nd at Mirabai, or perhaps what will ďŹ nd you.

hat’s a world-class, universally renowned powerhouse of a choreographer doing up in Greene County? Twyla Tharp and members of her dance company have spent

“The program will not be wardrobed or lit," says Tharp. "These dancers are the A-Team; some have been with me for a very long time. We were able to get all three pieces up in two weeks... And we’re actually working in three spaces simultaneously.�

Tharp has choreographed more than 160 works, including 129 dances, six Hollywood movies, four full-length ballets and four Broadway shows. She has created

critically acclaimed and technically unique forms of movement, combining jazz, ballet and modern dance that live in a category of their own. She has also worked with great musicians – Billy Joel and David Byrne, to name a couple – incorporating her own wit and inventiveness with their music.

The Pathways to Dance residency is part of an annual eight-county Capital Region initiative, in concert with Manhattan’s Joyce Theater. Designed to support new dance creation and presentation through a variety of intensive workshops, performances, exhibitions, lectures and master classes, Pathways to Dance is funded in part by the New York State Regional Economic Development Council, administered by the Electric City Arts and Entertainment Council.

Tharp talks about how rare it is to come across this much studio space in New York City. “Even Balanchine didn’t have three spaces in the City. Space is one big item, and there’s no replacing air, good food, open hearts, a willingness to see something succeed. Up here, there’s no traffic, few people, no distractions; you don’t have to deal with the D train being canceled for the day.�

Up early and at the gym by 6 a.m. most days, the 74-year-old dancer keeps pace with her much-younger troupe by driving herself as hard as she expects everyone else to work. Tharp extols the virtues of boxing to build strength and stamina (she worked with Teddy Atlas) and tosses out words that she doesn’t particularly like, such as “experiment� and “process.� “Experiment means there’s a possibility of failure. I don’t see it that way. I see everything as being of use. It may or may not come to the surface, but I don’t see it as failing.�

What Tharp does see is the architectural quality of dance. “I majored in Art History.

Architecture is something I’m aware of.

My father was a builder. I’ve always been taken with the whole process of what it is to put mud and bricks together, and also

COLIN QUINN PERFORMS WOODSTOCK LAND CONSERVANCY BENEFIT

“Y

eah, I guess it all comes down to your mom,” says comic Colin Quinn, when asked about his connection to Woodstock and how the Woodstock Land Conservancy (WLC) scored him as its benefit headliner. Quinn’s aunt, Grace Murphy (his mom’s sister), is the vice president of the WLC Board of Directors, and so he’ll appear here to help raise funds for the non-profit organization. When asked if he’s working up new material on the environment and land trusts for the show, Quinn says, “I have some anti-environment material. You can’t be pro-anything; that’s not funny.”

Quinn's connection to Woodstock goes back to childhood. “When I was a kid, I went to Woodstock Elementary School for six months, and I almost went to Onteora Junior High School, but we moved back to Brooklyn,” he says. “My favorite thing to do was to go to the Millstream and watch the nude skinny-dippers.”

Quinn is best-known as former writer and Weekend Anchor on Saturday Night Live and as host of Comedy Central’s Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. He comes to Woodstock just after the curtains closed on his recent sold-out show, The New York Story, directed by Jerry Seinfeld. His one-man show, Long Story Short, was adapted into an Emmy-nominated HBO special, and he recently played Amy Schumer’s dad in her film debut, Trainwreck.

The son of two teachers, Quinn delivers an acerbically funny take on life as viewed through the lens of a lively, intelligent mind. He has published his own book, The Coloring Book: A Comedian Solves Race Relations in America (Grand Central/ Hachette, 2015). “It’s me, rambling away, and it’s not an unmitigated failure,” he concedes, adding, “It’s hard, too hard, to write a book. I’ll never write another one.

People say standup is hard, but comedy is easy. Writing a book is brutal.”

The apparently effortless grace of Quinn’s improvisational comedy requires, he admits, “relentless rehearsing. You can only improvise after that. It’s serious stuff. The least funny thing about the world today is that we’re still dumb, as a society – emotionally, intellectually. Yeah, we have social media and technology, but everything else stays the same. I’m just like everybody else, asking ‘What is wrong?’ and nobody has answers; that’s the saddest part. That’s the way I differentiate people,” he says. “The ones who think they have the answers, they’re the real idiots.

The others? They’re only half-idiots.”

What does he wish that he’d known when he was in his 20s, just starting out in his career? “I wish I’d know how power really works. I had no idea... You could say, ‘I’m not going to that stupid party, it’s immaterial. It will have no effect either way. It’s not as important as the work I do.’ But who you know, showing up, having people

what it is to build a corner, or to join two planes. Dance exists in both space and time simultaneously; no other artform does. So you’re constantly building these elements. You have to think in three dimensions. Movement is energy and space and time.”

Tudor takedown Shakespeare skeptics to gather for discussion in Rosendale’ April 23, 2016 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of W i l l i a m Shakespeare, so it’s not surprising that all sorts of public events are being organized to commemorate the Swan of Avon and his (purported) works. Even the Oxfordians and their allies are getting in on the act, using the quadricentennial as an excuse to raise awareness of the many hypotheses about other possible authors of the plays and poems generally attributed to the Bard. Groups of authorship doubters in cities all over the world have decided to reaffirm support this year for the

Declaration of Reasonable Doubt, adopted nine years ago by the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition.

Skeptics that Shakespeare actually wrote Shakespeare include many a luminary, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud, Orson Welles, Sir Derek Jacoby, Mark Rylance, John Paul Stevens and Antonin Scalia among them. And now a group of apparently sane people is forming in Rosendale, who will be more than happy to explain why they aren’t Bard believers.

If you’d like to hear more about current theories of possible alternative authorship, including such names as Edward De Vere, Christopher Marlowe and Francis Bacon, you might enjoy the discussion on Friday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m., to be hosted by the 1850 House Inn & Tavern in Rosendale. Mary Lois Adshead, a theater director and lifelong fan of the works of Shakespeare who coordinated the Rosendale Theatre’s “Shakespeare Slam” last year, and Edward Schoelwer, chair of the Theatre’s Programming Committee, will be convening the group for the first time; whether it will become an ongoing Tudor Period literary salon probably depends on the level of public interest shown.

The public is invited to attend and contribute to the discussion. There’s no admission charge, but offering to buy a round of pints might not go amiss. Check it out! The 1850 House is located at 435 Main Street (Route 213) in downtown Rosendale.

Colin Quinn's connection to Woodstock goes back to childhood. “When I was a kid, I went to Woodstock Elementary School for six months, and I almost went to Onteora Junior High School, but we moved back to Brooklyn,” he says. “My favorite thing to do was to go to the Millstream and watch the nude skinny-dippers.”

see you at something…that’s my lesson to kids. When you’re around somebody, [the person in power] is going to give to you. They think, ‘I know I have to see them, and the other person? The one I don’t see? I don’t have to give to them.’”

So, show up. See and be seen. It matters and it makes a difference. And it definitely matters to the Woodstock Land Conservancy. Maxanne Resnick, recently appointed executive director, says that the WLC “runs pretty lean. We operate virtually, don’t have an office and our budget includes salaries for just two staff people. We accomplish what we do by sheer determination and have a ton of ambition.”

The non-profit formed in 1987 to rally hundreds of local citizens to save Woodstock’s beloved 22-acre Zena Cornfield: today, through purchases, donations and easements, it is the steward of more than 1,000 acres, including the Comeau Property, Thorn Preserve (owned by the Catskill Center for Conservation), the Sloan Gorge Preserve and numerous parcels throughout the Woodstock area.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

result is a stagework titled Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead, first performed Off-Broadway in 2005.

The Marist College Club of Theatre Arts has selected this intriguing play to reintroduce its formerly annual Experimental Theatre Production, ending a five-year hiatus. Thomas Ranieri stars as “CB,” who begins to question what happens after death when his dog dies from rabies. The production is directed by New Paltz’s ever-busy Christine Crawfis, who has added a new layer to this moving coming-of-age story that incorporates today’s growing problem of “iPhone Separation Anxiety.” Sounds dark overall (it’s being marketed as “not suitable for young audiences”), but a “hopeful and powerful” ending is promised.

Dog Sees God opens this Thursday at the Nelly Goletti Theatre on the Marist College campus and runs through Sunday, with shows beginning at 8 p.m. on April 14, 15 and 16 and at 2 p.m. on April 17.

Tickets cost $10 for general admission, $5 for students. For reservations, e-mail boxofficemccta@gmail.com.

Doctorow Center in Hunter hosts Poetry at 1600 Feet Festival Is it mere coincidence that April, famously deemed “the cruelest month”

by T. S. Eliot, has also become National Poetry Month? Surely going to hear some fine poetry and spoken-word performance is a way of being kind to oneself. You can do that this Friday and Saturday at the Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Doctorow Center for the Arts in Hunter, where poets Margaret Uhalde and Breanna Metcalf-Oshinsky will co-curate the second annual Poetry at 1600 Feet Festival.

The Festival begins with a Featured Performance at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 15. In an all-new Ars Poetica Workshop series that has been added to the Festival, the public has the chance to learn about creating forms of poetry and art that may be completely new to them through workshops with each featured artist.

Workshops will be presented from 12:45 to 5:30 p.m. this Saturday, April 16. An open mic will follow at 6 p.m., in which audience members will have the opportunity to fill the role of performer and share their work.

This year’s featured poets will include Margaret Uhalde, Breanna MetcalfOshinsky, Mike Rosen and a “surprise guest.” Admission to all events is free.

Free performance of Holocaust-themed Distant Survivors in New Paltz Each year, the Louis and Mildred Resnick Institute for the Study of Modern Jewish Life at SUNY-New Paltz hosts a Holocaust Memorial Presentation, often in the form of a stagework. This year’s event is a stop by the Mirage Theatre Company’s touring play, Distant Survivors. It will be presented in Parker Theatre on the SUNY campus on Wednesday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m.

Conceived and adapted for the stage by director June Prager from the poetry of William Heyen, Distant Survivors features local actors Ralph Cashen, Lew Gardner, Phillip X. Levine and Linda Roper. Seen through the eyes of an American of German descent and nephew to Nazi soldiers who is haunted by memories, phantoms and living Holocaust witnesses on a visit to Germany 50 years later, the play takes us on one man’s surrealistic journey that is deeply moving and revelatory.

Admission to Distant Survivors is free and all are welcome. For more about the play and the Mirage Theatre Company,

The Laramie Project at SUNY-Ulster Same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states, and many have commented on how swiftly public opinion on gay rights seems to have changed.

But 18 years after a 21-year-old gay University of Wyoming student was kidnapped, severely beaten, tortured and left to die, tied to a fence outside Laramie, violence against LGBTQ people is still common in this country, and in many places deemed more “socially acceptable” than other types of hate crimes. One need not spend much time on social media before encountering the word “gay” being used as a term of insult, and suicide rates are still high among LGBTQ youth.

So the issues raised by the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard have not gone away.

And The Laramie Project – the powerful theater piece assembled by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project from interviews with more than 200 Laramie residents during the trial of Shepard’s attackers – remains as timely as ever. A new production of the play by the Theatre Department at SUNY-Ulster opens this Thursday at the Quimby Theater in Vanderlyn Hall, running through April 17.

“After Matthew’s death, it took ten years to pass hate crime legislation on a national level when president Barack Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law. Yet today violence is rampant in the gay, lesbian and transgender community,” points out Theatre Program coordinator Stephen Balantzian, who is directing The Laramie Project. “Antigay legislation is still tried today. In the play, Jonas Slonaker, an openly gay character, asks, ‘What has come of this, what’s come out of this that is concrete or lasting?’ The play presents many issues such as homophobia, tolerance versus acceptance and discrimination. Yet I hope the play encourages contemplation and conversation.”

SUNY-Ulster is reaching out to local LGBTQ youth and their allies by scheduling a special daytime performance specifically for area high school students, followed by a talkback featuring Fred Mayo, board president of the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center. “We have students coming from LGBTQ clubs, Gay/Straight Alliances...we’ve had an overwhelming response from our community and are looking forward to sharing The Laramie Project with our audiences,” Balantzian says. “We think the message of compassion and acceptance will resonate – especially for the high school students.”

Regular performances of the play will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Fridaysand Saturday, April 14 to 16, with a 2 p.m.

Sunday matinée on April 17. Students get in free; general admission is by a suggested donation of $10 at the door.

SUNY-Ulster is located at 491 Cottekill Road in Stone Ridge. For more info about the production, call (845) 688-1959 or visit www.facebook.com/suny-ulstertheatre-department-presents-the-laramieproject-490783207773398.

Modern-day Romeo & Juliet in Rhinebeck

AlmanacWeekend Sign up for the Almanac Weekend newsletter and receive a briefing on local arts and events delivered fresh to your inbox every Friday morning. hudsonvalleyalmanacweekly.com/newsletter

Remember what a stir Franco Zeffirelli caused with his 1968 film version of Romeo and Juliet by casting two inexperienced teenaged actors in the title roles? Before then, Shakespeare’s tragedy of impulsive young lovers had oft beggared credibility by routinely starring big-name actors in their 30s or 40s. Having a 15-yearold girl play a 13-year-old girl: What a concept!

Since then, younger casts have become more commonplace, often in more modern settings such as Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film adaptation Romeo + Juliet. Now Lou Trapani, artistic director of the Center for

Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, has come up with another contemporary version to kick off the Center’s tenth annual Sam Scripps Shakespeare Festival, swapping the “and” for an ampersand instead of a plus sign. The CenterStage Production runs through Sunday, April 17.

Trapani, who also directs this production, writes of the motivation behind “my decision to set the play in the here and now: Young people continue to die tragically, even in the US of A, and not just in car accidents, but by their own hands and because of their own anguish and there appears to be nothing we older folk can do to stop it.” He has underscored the entire production with music from the late 1960s through the early 2010s that comments, in title, music and lyrics, on the action of each scene.

Brian Roberts and Cheyenne See play the title roles, with two actresses, Vera Perry and Molly Feibel, interestingly cross-gendered as the scrappy youths Tybalt and Mercutio. Also in the cast are David Foster and Lisa Lynds as Lord and Lady Capulet, Andy Weintraub and Kathleen Crampton as Lord and Lady Montague, Diana di Grandi as Juliet’s Nurse and Joe Eriole as Friar Lawrence, plus Jane Carney, Tommy Comolli, Niall Johnson, Zoe Munn, Jim O’Neill and John Schmitz. The contemporary costumes were designed by Grace Obee, with lighting design by Lobsang Camacho.

Performances of Romeo & Juliet begin at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16, with a 3 p.m. matinée on Sunday, April 17. Tickets cost $24 general admission and $22 for seniors and children. For the full Shakespeare Festival schedule and to purchase tickets, visit www.centerforperformingarts.org, or call the box office at (845) 876-3080. The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck is located at 661 Route 308, three miles east of the Rhinebeck village center.

Circle Mirror Transformation at Tangent Theatre in Tivoli If you’ve ever taken an acting class, you probably noticed that over time, people meeting regularly in one room to practice theater games together can begin to evolve their own little interpersonal dramas. It sort of comes with the package of learning to use one’s whole body as well as voice as vehicles to express feelings – fictional or not.

Such a scenario is the premise behind Annie Baker’s 2009 Best New American Play Obie Award-winner, Circle Mirror Transformation. Titled after one of those standard theater games, it tracks the developing relationships within a group of four ordinary people who come to a community center in Vermont to take classes with an acting teacher. In reviewing the play’s original Playwrights Horizons production for The New York Times. Anita Gates called Circle Mirror Transformation “absorbing, unblinking and sharply funny…The artificiality of the acting games just emphasizes the naturalness of the characters’ real lives and feelings.”

Its action confined to a single windowless room, it’s a perfect stage vehicle for small community theater troupes to put on; and Tivoli’s wonderful Tangent Theatre Company takes up the challenge for four weeks beginning on April 14. Melisa Annis directs a cast that includes Summer Corrie, Michael Rhodes, Lorenzo Scott, Amie Tedesco and Jill Van Note.

Performances of Circle Mirror Transformation will begin at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with 3 p.m. Sunday matinées, from April 14 to May 8 at the Carpenter Shop Theater, located at 60 Broadway in Tivoli. Tickets cost $25 and can be purchased by credit card at www.showclix.com/event/cirlcemirror-transformati, or reserved for purchase at the door by e-mailing info@ tangent-arts.org.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

will host Performing Arts of Woodstock (PAW)’s new production of Good People.

Parade on stage at SUNY-New Paltz The SUNY-New Paltz Department of Theatre Arts presents the Tony Award-winning musical Parade, with performances April 14 through 17 in the McKenna Theatre on campus.

Written by Alfred Uhry with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, Parade is directed by associate professor Catherine Doherty, with music direction by associate professor Elizabeth Gerbi and choreography by New Paltz student Christine Drexler (Class of ’16).

Based on a true story, the events of Parade take place on Confederate Memorial Day in Atlanta, Georgia in 1913.

As the city celebrates its history, 13-yearold Mary Phagan, an employee of the National Pencil Company, is discovered brutally raped and murdered in the basement of the factory, and Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jew working as factory manager, is accused of the crime. Parade dramatizes the real-life trial of Frank and its aftermath.

All performances begin at 8 p.m. except the Sunday show, April 17, which begins at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $20 general admission, $18 for seniors (62+), non-New Paltz students and New Paltz faculty/staff and $10 for New Paltz students.

K

addish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, has lent its complex themes and functions, as well as its title, to at least two monumental achievements of 20th-century Western art: Allen Ginsberg’s best poem and Leonard Bernstein’s ambitious, tense and dramatic third symphony with spoken-word narration and a vast choral component. As to the former, read Ginsberg’s devastating lament for his mother, Naomi, if you haven’t. As to the latter, the Bardavon continues the Hudson Valley Philharmonic’s 56th season with a performance of Bernstein’s Kaddish on Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m.

Longtime Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) music director Randall Craig Fleischer will conduct. The legendary stage and film actress and director Estelle Parsons (who, amongst her many other distinctions, seems to be the first-call artist for spoken-word orchestral accompaniment) will deliver Bernstein’s text.

The performance of Kaddish also features the notable soprano Kelly Nassief and the Vassar Choir, Cappella Festiva and Treble Choir under the direction of Vassar’s director of choral activities, Christine Howlett.

The Kaddish is a complex prayer. Even though it functions as a requiem, the word “death” never appears in it, and much of it is a celebration of life. Bernstein’s music embraces both the dissonance of 12-tone technique as well as conventional tonality to support the duality of the text. The symphony is in three movements: “Invocation,” “Din Torah” and “Scherzo,” all of which feature lengthy spoken-word passages, with and without orchestral backing.

Actress Estelle Parsons is an Oscar-winner (for Bonnie and Clyde) and a fivetime Tony nominee. She is acting artistic director at the famed Actors’ Studio in New York. She also owns a house in the Clove on the Shawangunk Ridge in Ulster County. This is not her first work with the HVP and the Bardavon; she narrated Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream Suite in 2002. In collaboration with the Bardavon and the Actors’ Studio she has also directed Al Pacino in Salome at the Bardavon for a pre-Broadway run in 2003, and in 2015 directed Rhapsody in Black, which was also developed with the Bardavon and the Actors’ Studio and is currently touring internationally. Parsons was most recently seen on Broadway in The Velocity of Autumn in 2014 and will co-star with Judith Ivey in Israel Horovitz’s Out of the Mouths of Babes, a new Off-Broadway comedy opening in June at the Cherry Lane Theater in New York.

Also on the program are Warhauser’s Like Streams in the Desert and Ernest Bloch’s Schelomo, featuring cellist Dane Johansen. Ticketholders are invited to a pre-concert talk by Maestro Fleischer and Estelle Parsons one hour prior to the concert.

Tickets for Bernstein’s Kaddish range in price from $34 to $56. Student rush tickets will be available one hour prior to the concert for $20. Tickets can be purchased at the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; or at Ticketmaster, (800) 745-3000 (Bardavon member benefits are not available through Ticketmaster).

Jeremy Wilber is scheduled to become the longest-serving Woodstock town supervisor. In Miles from Woodstock, Wilber pulls us into a story of loves, both shallow and profound; of regrets, both ignored and deeply felt; of the little town of Woodstock’s outsized influence on American music.

Admission to this event is free. The Woodstock Library is located at 5 Library Lane in Woodstock.

AUTHENTIC RUSTIC FARMHOUSE

One of the nicest spots in the Woodstock area, this property, which used to be part of a large old farm, offers both privacy, natural beauty and convenience. It is backed by an additional 90 acres, so in a sense that is yours to walk and enjoy until that additional 90 acres sells. (The 10 acres will be subdivided from the existing 100 acres.)

The farmhouse, which is in good condition, is a worthy restoration project -- a blank slate into which you can bring your ideas, keeping it an “ old farmhouse” or renovating it to become more modern.

The barn, which adds so much to the ambience, is sold “as is.” The property has an authentic rustic feel that cannot be manufactured or replicated any longer. ........................................................$345,000

The gourmet kitchen with lots of solid maple cabinets, granite counters and high end appliances. Enjoy the tranquility, views and pond that are found on the almost 9 acre lot, set back off the road.
