Jane Yolen headlines Hudson Children’s Book Festival this Saturday

Did you know that there’s an annual book festival in Hudson that features literature for children and young adults (YA) exclusively? And that it’s one of the biggest book festivals in the State of New York? Since 2009, the Hudson Children’s Book Festival has attracted an outstanding, rather large group of authors and illustrators who specialize in producing books for the younger set, to come to the City of Hudson and show their stuff. From picture books for kids just beginning to turn pages to YA and graphic novels, from seriously funny fiction to the informative and fun-factual, the festival celebrates literacy in all its forms. This free public event is meant to foster reading and nurture a culture of literacy for both bookmakers and readers of all ages. In a daylong gathering, more than 75 authors and illustrators will set up

Minnewaska State Park Preserve

VOLUNTEER

I Love My Park Day on Saturday

he eighth annual I Love My Park Day takes place on Saturday, May 4 and promises to be the biggest to date. More than 140 state parks, historic sites and public lands will host hosting volunteer events, including beach cleanups, trail restoration, tree and flower plantings, beautification projects and more. Last year over 8,000 volunteers participated in more than 250 I Love My Park Day projects. “I Love My Park Day is a great opportunity to give back to our parks and historic sites so that others can continue to enjoy our state’s amazing natural treasures,” governor Andrew Cuomo said. “I encourage New Yorkers to sign up and volunteer at a participating park or historic site in their area to help us protect and preserve our incredible parks system for generations to come.” Visit https://www.ptny.org/events/i-love-mypark-day/find-event to locate a park in which you can volunteer. As an example, Minnewaska State Park Preserve observes I Love My Park Day with a cleanup and beautification event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., beginning at the Sam’s Point Area. Minnewaska relies on volunteers to maintain and improve the approximately 40 miles of footpaths that traverse its wild forests. Last year, across the Minnewaska State Park Preserve, 49 participants volunteered 319 hours of time, working on three distinct projects. At Minnewaska, a team of volunteers rebuilt a bog bridge and clipped back overgrown vegetation on the Jenny Lane Footpath. At Sam’s Point, a team of volunteers worked to build bog bridges on the Verkeerderkill Falls Footpath, and another team helped improve the native pollinator garden. There are three improvement projects to choose from, all of which will greatly benefit the Park Preserve. Two projects will take place at the Sam’s Point Area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve and one will take place on the Rainbow Falls Footpath within the Minnewaska State Park Preserve. Volunteers will work alongside Park Preserve staff and/or New York/New Jersey Trail Conference volunteers on each project. For registration and complete information, visit www.ptny.org.

just about everything that piques the curiosity of kids these days. The lineup includes some of the genre’s biggest names and others not big as yet; but all have achieved success in creating books that engage young people, even in an era of ubiquitous screen-distraction. Seymour Simon is the keynote speaker for the event. Honored with multiple awards for his contribution to children’s science literature, he has written more than 300 books and has been called “the dean of the [children’s science] field.” Simon, who has introduced tens of millions of children to a variety of nonfiction subjects, says, “I’m more interested in arousing enthusiasm in kids than I am in teaching the facts. The facts may change, but that enthusiasm for exploring the world will remain with them for the rest of their lives.” Others who will be in attendance include award-winning author Jane Yolen, who has penned no fewer than 350 books: a feat for which she has received honorary doctorates from six colleges and universities – not bad for writing juvenile lit. Hudson Talbott is an illustrator of more than two dozen books, his latest Picturing America: Thomas Cole and the

Best-selling author Nikki Grimes is the recipient of the 2017 Children’s Literature Legacy Award, the 2016 Virginia Hamilton Literary Award and the 2006 NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children. Her distinguished works include the much-honored books Garvey’s Choice, What Is Goodbye? Bronx Masquerade, Jazmin’s Notebook, Talkin’ about Bessie, Dark Sons, Words with Wings and The Road to Paris.

A visit to the Clermont State Historic Site, situated just across the county line between Dutchess and Columbia Counties, is always a pleasant idea – especially when the 18th-century mansion and grounds come alive with a scene that speaks to Chancellor Livingston’s residence here. The annual Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool Showcase, held on the pic-

nic grounds above the Hudson River, highlights the basic animal husbandry and handmade fiber arts that have varied little over time. Indeed, the event is named for that ambitious Founding Father, steamboat entrepreneur and farmer. Robert Livingston was famous for raising Merino sheep, brought in from Spain to mix with his domestic stock: an act of husbandry that altered the young nation’s future wool industry. And, while the ensuing expansion across the continent and the industrialization of textile production changed sheep-raising well beyond what he might have imagined, much has stayed the same. The annual family festival brings historic fiber arts, culture and crafts to a bucolic scenario where live sheep, angora rabbits and alpacas take center stage. Vermont’s Fred DePaul will be doing shearing demos, while Wild Goose Chase NE will show the technique of using herding dogs to keep flocks of geese in check. (The organization offers humane goose control services to clients in New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, where the overabundance of wild geese causes safety and health concerns in public locations.) Fiber enthusiasts can wander through the concourse and shop the wares of more than three dozen local vendors – because there’s no such thing as having too much yarn in one’s private stock – as well as witnessing the work of skilled artisans who will demonstrate spinning (done by Elmendorf Spinners), knitting and other techniques. Billed as the region’s “first fiber festival of the season,” the Sheep & Wool Showcase keeps getting bigger every year, reports Jeff Benton, curator of collections and education at Clermont. “This year we’ll have live music by the Canadian folk music group Tamarack and the T McCann Band with its fresh take on traditional Celtic music to entertain visitors. And two food vendors – Que to Go and Nosh Food Truck – for people to buy snacks and drinks.” Spinning and weaving demos will take place throughout the day, and crafts for kids will entice a new generation into the fiber arts. For a complete list of 2019 exhibitors and vendors, check the website below. Admission includes tours of the mansion. Dogs on leashes are allowed. Dress for unpredictable spring weather, and note that if heavy rain is called for, the event will take place on Sunday, May 5. – Ann Hutton

Mother of invention Historical Society of Woodstock hosts Woodstock Dress fashion show on Sunday

he Woodstock Dress – which will be given its full measure with a fashion show featuring Sarah Stitham’s recreations of the 1920s garment on Sunday, May 5 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Christian Science Church, 85 Tinker Street, was designed by Augusta Allen, whose creations helped support her family after they migrated from Ohio to Woodstock in 1913. Allen, the great-grandmother of Historical Society of Woodstock (HSW) member Deborah Allen Heppner, made the dresses on a treadle sewing machine and sold them at the Town Green for $20 each: the equivalent of $400 today. Seamstress Stitham, whose Workday Wear line of handmade dresses is based at her home in Olive, became intrigued by the Woodstock Dress after seeing it at an HSW exhibit. She borrowed four dresses from Heppner’s personal collection and spent four months, with the help of a patternmaker, coming up with a pattern she could use to recreate the dresses. “They’re ingenious,” said Stitham. “Augusta used a lot of seams and darts in the bodice. When measuring someone for a dress, she could take out or let in these various seams to get a perfect fit. She used a lot of trim around the sleeves, neck and hem. The trim helped the sleeves stay puffed, and it gave the hem weight so it would swing more. She had a true cottage industry going, and it was wildly successful.” Augusta made dresses in various fabrics – cotton, velvet, taffeta and more – some serving as casual everyday dresses to wear to market, others appropriate for a formal reception, without changing the design of the dress. It became a favorite among women of the art colony and was also worn by many of the Cheats and Swings square dancers during a number of exhibitions, including one memorable performance for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt at their home in Hyde Park. At the May 5 fashion show, Stitham’s recreations – in organic cotton, organic seersucker and lightweight denim – will be modeled by local artists and performers. Tea and homemade baked goods will be served. Music will be provided by Reggie Earls and Timothy Hill, and Heppner’s husband, town historian Richard Heppner, will talk about the history of the Woodstock Dress. He may also bring the story full circle by mentioning that the Allens were brought to town by painter Birge Harrison, the first head of the Art Students League program when it came to Woodstock in 1906 and found a home in the building where the recreations of Augusta’s dresses will be presented.

NIGHT SKY

The media’s universe It wasn’t a black hole, and they can’t see the Great Wall

ith all the phony “fake news” tension promulgated by this corrupt administration, it’s actually a true issue affecting science journalists. I’m talking about a trustworthiness challenge caused by the tendency to hype and exaggerate science in order to grab attention. One example: the SuperMoon business. We astronomers had a perfectly fine word for when the Moon comes close; it’s perigee. For centuries, the published lunar perigee date mostly elicited yawns. But when the term SuperMoon caught on a few years ago and the major media ran headlines saying, “Don’t miss tonight’s SuperMoon!” real confusion arose. The problem is that a perigee Moon looks exactly like every other Full Moon, whereas the word “super” suggests something very special must be afoot. Photographers soon obliged by publishing huge photoshopped Moon images, and the highway to hype was now open to traffic. I want astronomy to catch on and grow, so I do want to stir up excitement. But I know not to oversell celestial events that will visually fall short of expectations. When I took over the Old Farmer’s Almanac’s astronomy pages in the 1980s, I followed the same rules I created when I started this Night Sky column in 1974: namely, never to mention barely-there sky events. Thus, for the past quartercentury that venerable magazine never lists penumbral lunar eclipses, because such an eclipse usually doesn’t change the Moon’s appearance. I also ignore minor meteor showers, especially if they happen around a Full Moon. Yet last week Earth and Sky, normally an excellent radio show, urged listeners to go out to watch a skimpy display during a very bright Moon. I knew observers would be lucky if they caught a single meteor, even if they patiently stared for half an hour. Such overselling is the kind of thing that turns people off to astronomy. There’s another aspect to this: how the pop-culture perception eventually gets set in stone and becomes permanent. For example, until the ’50s hit “Rock around the Clock,” the public didn’t invariably call the most famous comet “Hayley’s” Comet. For two centuries, many people correctly said “HAL-ee.” But Bill Haley and His Comets established a pronunciation that has become permanent, even though it’s wrong. As another example, if you ask anyone the first words spoken from the Moon, they’ll invariably mention the “One small step” speech. Actually, the first lunar words were, “Okay, engine stop,” uttered by Buzz Aldrin. Less than a minute later, Armstrong said, “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed!” Thousands of conversational words followed. Only seven hours later did Armstrong say, “That’s one small step…” and maybe you’d argue that those alone should count because he was then standing outside the lander. But that’s not how life works. When you land at JFK and the plane’s PA says, “Welcome to New York,” no one thinks, “I’m not in New York, because I’m still on the plane.” Similarly, as soon as the astronauts landed, they were on the Moon. You could argue this either way; my point is merely that the media-declared reality

Even if incorrect, once a media-favorite astro-“fact” gains enough repetitions, it becomes our permanent model of the cosmos – which is why the vast majority thinks orbiting astronauts can see the Great Wall of China, and believe that births or crime increase around the Full Moon.

NASA | NEIL ARMSTRONG

If you ask anyone the ﬁrst words spoken from the Moon, they’ll invariably mention the “One small step” speech. Actually, the ﬁrst lunar words were, “Okay, engine stop,” uttered by Buzz Aldrin. Less than a minute later, Armstrong said, “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed!” This July 20, 1969 photo of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module interior shows Aldrin during the lunar landing mission.

is what became the sole permanent truth. Commentators had been speculating for days what Armstrong would choose to say when he stepped out, so the whole thing had been set up, and nothing else was going to matter. Only Neil’s out-the-hatch words would be catnip to the press corps. This still happens. A couple of weeks ago the press ran the “first image of a black hole.” Well, that black circular glob was actually not a black hole. It was a false color depiction of an inky area 100 times larger, a zone where background radio waves had Black holes are not even holes, but the been disturbed by a black hole. But even if exact opposite: places of unimaginable incorrect, once a media-favorite astro-“fact” super-packed density. (Event Horizon gains enough repetitions, it becomes our Telescope Collaboration) permanent model of the cosmos – which is why the vast majority thinks orbiting astronauts can see the Great Wall of China, and believe that births or crime increase around the Full Moon. And think that professional astronomers look through telescopes. And believe radio telescopes capture sounds. And think the Moon has a dark side. Fitting into the vox-pop reality is probably why Alex Trebek says “your ay-nus” on Jeopardy, even though he’s normally a stickler about pronunciation. Science programs habitually repeat the silly claim that astronauts have “escaped Earth’s gravity,” even though gravity at the Space Station is just a barely noticeable ten percent weaker than people experience in Saugerties. Few explain that the floating is solely due to the crew being in free-fall. At risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, it’s weird to watch so much science get reimagined, with the hyped version permanently established as the truth. But at heart, this is about trustworthiness – which is why you won’t see the term “SuperMoon” on this page. It may be current and colloquial, and no harm in that. But it would also be a stepping stone on the highway of hype. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyOne.com.

that it wasn’t the Best Movie Ever Made. Seriously, that is what an inordinate number of diehard fans are saying about Endgame on social media – evidence, perhaps, that we’ve reached the popculture event horizon at which watching MCU movies takes up so much of a person’s time that he or she simply cannot watch anything else. But we should not be overly surprised. It’s arguably quite appropriate that the “final” installment in a 22-part big-screen franchise should be packed to bursting with fanservice. Endgame has that in spades. Not to say that this is all bad: Fans have had to live for a full year now with the downer – shocking for non-readers of the series of comic books on which Avengers: Infinity War was based – of seeing fully half of our heroes (not to mention the rest of sentient lifeforms) reduced to ash with a snap of Thanos’ bejeweled fingers. Of course, in this genre, death is a highly negotiable outcome. Thus, it barely requires a spoiler alert to move on to the revelation that the cast of Endgame will not consist merely of those actors mentioned in the advertising campaign. The question was never whether all

Disneynature’s newest release, simply titled Penguins, is pretty much March of the Penguins Lite. Though its protagonists are Adélie rather than emperor penguins, the premise is almost identical: following a pair through the seasonal cycle of migrating to a nesting ground, ﬁnding a mate, hatching eggs, raising chicks, dodging predators, fattening the whole family up for winter and then returning to the open sea.

PENGUINS’ SPECTACULAR NATURE FOOTAGE MARRED BY “COMICAL” VOICEOVER

arth Day week seemed like an auspicious time for the theatrical release of the 15th full-length documentary under the Disneynature imprint. This series was spawned by envy at the House of Mouse for the international success of the Academy Award-winning French production March of the Penguins in 2005. Back in the 1950s, Walt Disney Studios had been the world standard-bearer for theatrically released nature documentaries with their True-Life Adventures series, garnering Best Documentary Feature Oscars of their own for The Living Desert, The Vanishing Prairie and White Wilderness. For some at Disney, including CEO Bob Iger, this was supposed to be their turf, and they wanted it back. Though the True-Life Adventures movies set a high standard for cinematography, they shared the propensity of most early Disney products to go overboard in the direction of wholesomeness, all too often straying far into the realm of the cutesy. A spectacular close-up view of a scorpion battle in The Living Desert, for example, drew scorn from New York Times critic Bosley Crowther for having been scored to “hoedown music.” In offering audiences insights into a typical day in the life of some fascinating member of the animal kingdom, Disney just couldn’t seem to resist anthropomorphizing it. Good science was sacrificed on the altar of relatability. Alas, that tendency is back in spades with Disneynature. The newest release, simply titled Penguins, is pretty much March of the Penguins Lite. Though its protagonists are Adélie rather than emperor penguins, the premise is almost identical: following a pair through the seasonal cycle of migrating to a nesting ground, finding a mate, hatching eggs, raising chicks, dodging predators, fattening the whole family up for winter and then returning to the open sea. But in Penguins, the constant perils of life in the Antarctic are soft-pedaled to the point where you could take preschoolers to see it without giving them nightmares. Climate change gets no mention whatsoever. Worse, the anthropomorphism is laid on with a trowel. Actor Ed Helms shifts back and forth from narrating the film in the third person to speaking whimsical dialogue on behalf of the focal penguin character, called Steve, who is depicted as a well-meaning, determined bumbler. After five minutes of listening to Helms-as-Steve say in his callow tenor, “Oops, excuse me, gotta go” to other penguins as he collides with them, I was about ready to scream. It doesn’t let up for 76 minutes. It’s a great pity that directors Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wilson and screenwriter David Fowler indulge in this cloying sentimentality and limp humor, because Penguins, much like its ’50s forebears, can boast very impressive cinematography indeed. The best part of the movie is the closing credits, during which one side of the split screen is devoted to footage of the filmmakers filming each other, working under mind-bogglingly challenging conditions. Some of the best sequences, including scenes of penguins being hunted by leopard seals, were executed underwater, by human camera operators protected by nothing but wetsuits. In Antarctica. By the film’s end, I wanted to applaud the scientist/filmmakers who made Penguins happen – and to strangle the screenwriter who made me sit through all that soppy, saccharine, imaginary penguin chatter. If you have any very little kids handy, take them to see it; they won’t mind how insufferably “cute” Steve is. If not, and if you agree with me that penguins are quite sufficiently cute by nature without the voiceover, wait until you can watch it at home – with the audio turned all the way down. – Frances Marion Platt

known movies that have established said rules (some acknowledgment of the Golden Era authors who originated them would have been even nicer, but it’s too much to expect that the average Avengersmovie consumer will be a sci-fi literature nerd as well). It adds up to an ironic “What could possibly go wrong?” attitude with which the surviving Avengers must step into their gameplan to reverse Thanos’

Final Solution, and that’s fine. Part of why we love these guys is their willingness to wing it when plans go awry. Seeing how those complications arise and are dealt with is what makes the middle act of Endgame the most pleasurable. There’s both chaotic humor and some heartstring-tugging to be had, as several characters undertake side quests on their visits to their own pasts

to resolve non-Thanos-related personal conflicts. Healing the world begins at the family level, it seems. Fanservice here takes the form of innumerable cameos from characters long dropped from the franchise. A couple of core characters get amusing makeovers: Bruce Banner and the Hulk have finally found a bespectacled, musclebound middle ground, while buff Thor has “let himself go,” drowning his melancholy in junk food and ale, and now channels the Dude from The Big Lebowski. I recommend not letting a thin skin for fat-shaming jokes get in the way of your appreciation for the fact that Chris Hemsworth is really blossoming these days as a comedic actor. Second-string Avengers also get a chance in Act Two to shine as never before, with special props due to Jeremy Renner for bringing much more depth and nuance to a bereaved Clint Barton/Hawkeye. Act One is the most sluggish, despite a brisk foray into an unsatisfactory confrontation with present-day Thanos, not long after the great culling of humanity. The next five years are sketched in with some scenes that work (Tony Stark proving a surprisingly awesome, engaged dad) and some that fall flat (Steve Rogers pontificating in a non-superhero survivors’ support group). It isn’t until Scott Lang/Ant-Man turns up after his subatomic sojourn with ideas about the malleability of time that things start getting lively again. The final act, mainly consisting as usual of an epic-scale battle (with Dutchess County’s Staatsburgh State Historic Site as the unrecognizable backdrop), is the one that will seem most gratifying to the diehard MCU fanbase and most rote to viewers who crave rich character development. There are just too damn many superheroes onscreen at pretty much any given time for us to get immersed in the drama of any one of them. That will, of course, be some viewers’ definition of thrilling cinema. The exceptions, where only one or two characters are in focus, are handled well; you’ll get a little misty-eye at one point at least, if you have any history with these characters.

the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse in the dim distance during the movie’s elegiac coda, shot at Scenic Hudson’s Black Creek Preserve on the west bank of the Hudson. Summing up, Avengers: Endgame is not only not the Best Movie Ever, but it’s also not the peak that this particular screen franchise has to offer. While competent manipulators of the action genre, Anthony and Joe Russo lack the directorial intelligence and deft hand of Joss Whedon, who helmed the first two Avengers films. There’s a little too much business crammed into the movie’s three-hour running time. But it’s pretty consistently enjoyable fare, and has its moments when the resonant rises above the flood level of the obligatory. Much of the credit belongs to a well-seasoned cast of actors who have grown comfortable with their characters and with one another. We’ll be missing the ones who are moving on. – Frances Marion Platt

OPUS 40 OPENS ITS BUSY SUMMER SEASON OF PERFORMANCES, WALKS & WORKSHOPS

f you haven’t yet visited Opus 40, sculptor Harvey Fite’s 6 ½-acre earthwork in High Woods, near the Saugerties/ Woodstock border, you’ve missed one of the most extraordinary attractions in the Hudson Valley/Catskills region. This mesmerizing maze of stone, water and sky demands hands-on, feet-on exploration, and also hosts a variety of interesting cultural programming during the warmer months of each year. Fite, one of the founders of the Fine Arts Department at Bard College, spent time restoring Mayan ruins at Copán in Honduras while studying Mesoamerican indigenous sculpture, and in the process learned how to do dry-key stone masonry, a technique that uses gravity to create stable stone structures without mortar. In 1938 he purchased an abandoned quarry as a source for bluestone to sculpt, and began to position some of his larger pieces in that outdoor setting. Moving stone slabs around to showcase his statuary, he gradually discovered that the quarry itself was the sculpture that was to become his life’s work. Calling it Opus 40 on the assumption that it would take him 40 years to complete, Fite perished in a tractor accident while maintaining the site, 37 years into the wall-building process. Ironically, he was using gas-powered machinery only to control vegetation from overtaking his creation. His masonry work was done with traditional hand tools, many examples of which are on display in the Quarryman’s Museum that you can visit on the Opus 40 site. Fite’s monumental legacy is a wonderland of paths and ramps and steps, plazas and fountains and pools, spiraling upward in the center to a nine-ton monolith and melding at its rear edges back into the earth, still recognizably a working quarry. At its deepest points – pathways carved 16 feet below the surface of the surrounding ground – you will find respite from the heat on the sultriest summer day. Sit still enough beside one of its placid pools, made to reflect the sculptures perched on its rim, and a dragonfly might alight on you. It’s a thoroughly magical place. From May 10 to October 31, Opus 40 is open to visitors from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. Admission costs $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $3 for children aged 7 and up. Leave your pets at home, but do bring a picnic. There are lovely lawns on the house side of the earthwork, and 55 acres of forest and meadow surrounding it, laced with nature trails. The easiest way to make your first acquaintance with Opus 40 is to attend Community Day, which this year falls on Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Admission that day is free, and live music and food will be provided. If you can’t wait that long to jump right in and support the arts in one of their most splendid natural manifestations, there’s a fundraising event happening offsite to start the season. Beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, the great wine educator Kevin Zraly – he of the Windows on the World Complete Wine Course – will be presiding over a Wine-Tasting and Reception at the Diamond Mills Hotel, located at 25 South Partition Street in Saugerties. A half-hour opening reception featuring tastings of two wines will be followed by Zraly’s trademark One-Hour Wine Expert class, a seated tasting of six different varietals from around the world: three whites (Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay) and three reds (Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon). A reception and book-signing with hors d’oeuvres on the beautiful terrace overlooking Esopus Creek falls rounds out the evening, where you’ll be able to schmooze with the staff and board of Opus 40 on hand, including the not-for-profit’s new executive director, Caroline Crumpacker. Tickets cost $60 in advance, $75 at the door; call (845) 247-0700 or e-mail brianne@diamondmillshotel.com for more information. At 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, Gil Gutierrez returns to the Barbara Fite Room in the beautiful stone house adjoining the quarry with his trio, including Bob Stern on violin and Dave Rodriguez on bass. A wine reception with the artists will follow. Tickets cost $40 in advance, $50 at the door if not sold out. On Sunday, May 19 and Saturday, June 15, Kyle Bardwell will conduct Bird Walks that explore the diverse habitat of the woods, quarries and pastures behind the sculpture park. Bring your binoculars. Tickets for a guided walk plus breakfast cost $30, $50 for both. After that, the spotlight shifts to Opus 40’s role as an unparalleled outdoor performance space. The international experimental theater Dzieci returns on June 22 and 23, presenting “the greatest (and only) East Molvanian circus in the world,” a Cirkus Luna! performance and workshop at 1 p.m. on Saturday and its visceral, innovative approach to Shakespeare’s Scottish play, Makbet, at 6 p.m. on Sunday. Both Dzieci Theater shows and the workshop involve lots of moving on and around the sculpture. Tickets cost $20 for Cirkus Luna! including the workshop afterwards, $30 in advance at $40 at the door for Makbet. Opus 40 hosts the annual Psychic Fair on Sunday, July 14. On Saturday, July 27 at 2 p.m., the Centenary Stage Company will perform the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. Tickets cost $35 in advance, $50 at the door. A Dance Party and Barbecue wind up the outdoor performance season on Saturday, August 31. Saturday Art Walk Workshops go on throughout the summer at Opus 40, each running for five hours – 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. – and beginning with a light breakfast at the Quarryman’s Museum Gallery. A walk on and around the sculpture is a part of each class, followed by a picnic lunch at the end. Faheem Haider will conduct a Drawing Workshop on June 15, Laura Hinton a Poetry Workshop on July 13; and China Jorrin a Photography Workshop on August 17. Workshop fees are $60 each, $100 for two, $120 for all three. New works by both Haider and Jorrin will be shown in the museum’s Fite Gallery this season, along with the deliciously creepy photography of Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick. Exhibition opening dates and artist talks will be announced on the Opus 40 website soon: www.opus40.org/events2019. That’s also where you can find links to order tickets to any of this season’s events, or call (845) 681-9352. Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Road, just off Glasco Turnpike in Saugerties. – Frances Marion Platt

Flying Cat Music beneﬁt on Saturday in Phoenicia Regarding Flying Cat Music moving its boutique series of folk/Celtic/ bluegrass listening-room concerts out of the Empire State Railway Museum, my feelings are decidedly mixed. It was an awesome room: not just the woody warmth of its scalloped ceiling and its great acoustic properties, but the entire arcane Americana milieu – steamer trunks still on the train platform, Victorian HVAC and fixtures, a life-sized train engineer mannequin – or maybe I’m just imagining that part. The good news is that it is upsizing, not down, that has led Flying Cat to this move. The decade-old series of national/ international acts was founded and maintained by Tom Rinaldo and Janet Klugiewicz. The pair of well-connected music-lovers has now enlisted a board of directors to help with Flying Cat’s curation, and with that change comes a venue change as well, as Flying Cat moves its base of operations to the larger Phoenicia United Methodist Church. Flying Cat commences its new era with a benefit for itself on Saturday, May 4, featuring performances by its inner circle of allies and some of the premier singer/ songwriter talent in the region: Jeff Entin of the Acquaintances, Julie Parisi Kirby, Jude Roberts, Robert Burke Warren and Marji Zintz. Admission to the Flying Cat Friends & Family Benefit costs a mere $10. – John Burdick Flying Cat Music benefit, Saturday, May 4, 7:30 p.m., $10, Phoenicia United Methodist Church, 29 Church St., Phoenicia, https://flyingcatmusic.com

Evan Parker, Joe Morris, Ned Rothenberg, Alex Waterman perform this Saturday at Beacon Yoga While I know he has able and likeminded help, James Keepnews is the simplest short answer if you have ever wondered why Beacon has become a…beacon of world-class experimental music.

“What You See/Don’t See” tour at Mills Mansion on Sunday

he Staatsburgh State Historic Site offers a free guided landscape tour of the Gilded Age estate’s beautiful grounds overlooking the Hudson River on Sunday, May 5. Titled “What You See…and What You Don’t See,” this theme walk will explore how the landscape was designed to reflect the wealth and taste of Staatsburgh’s owners, while deliberately hiding all the labor that made their elite lifestyle possible. “Many of the people who walk here at the park wonder what the historic outbuildings were used for and what this all looked like in the Gilded Age,” said Staatsburgh State Historic Site educator Don Fraser. “On the landscape tour, we bring along historic photos of the grounds. We show what visitors to the mansion would have seen 100 years ago, but also step behind the curtain to show what was hidden from them.” “What You See/Don’t See” tour, Sunday, May 5, 1 p.m., Staatsburgh State Historic Site, 75 Mills Mansion Dr., 1 Rd., Staatsburg, (845) 889-8851
