Woodstock Library Fair returns this Saturday

t’s rare that one hooks into local traditions that have maintained their basic form for 83 years running, as the annual Woodstock Library Fair has. It’s even rarer when such traditions keep finding ways to return to older traditions over the years, even as the town and world around them modernize. The basic form of the ways in which the Woodstock Library celebrates itself and its community each July is simple: First off, it’s cheap, a matter of dollars to get in. There are books for sale, lots of music, great food, a bit of beer and plenty of stuff for kids to do (meaning that there are always lots of the very young, as well as village elders on hand). Secondly, it’s aimed squarely at locals in a tourist town, starting and closing fairly early (for these things), right on the library grounds – which means that everyone gets out and sees each other, passes greetings, lets battle lines drop to revel in the fact that they have such a grand, responsive, active library centering everything. It also runs rain or shine, with little change in attendance or spirits either way the skies trend. It starts a bit before 10 a.m. with a children’s costume parade down Tinker Street to the library grounds: sort of an inverse Pied Piper tradition revived in recent years. On the roped-off grounds, things run to 5 p.m. with a fullness that keeps many on hand all day long bidding on handmade aprons by mother/daughter teams around the community, checking out the many vintage tomes on sale or wandering through a wildly eclectic (and upscale) rummage-sale tent. Most kids get face-painted before the day’s over, and come home with funny hats and crafts. There are food trucks and volunteers cooking standard summer fare. There are even antiques! Best of all, there’s a dancefloor for everyone enjoying the day and music enough to boogie down, as the town has become famous for. And what a musical lineup, including choruses, a Pete Seeger tribute, the talented kids from Paul Green’s Rock Academy, big radio deejays, the Dharma Bums, the Cupcakes and the Lindsay Webster Band, plus Jay Collins and the 4 Notes and frequent special guests throughout the day. Get there early and stay late; learn why Woodstock has stayed so, well, Woodstock for so long – and keeps getting Woodstockier! – Paul Smart Woodstock Library Fair, Saturday, July 26, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., rain or shine, Woodstock Library. 5 Library Lane, Woodstock; (845) 679-2213, http://woodstock. org.

Kenny Rogers, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, is the eighth-best-selling male artist of all time.

Ben Neill premieres Manitoga

s a composer and trumpeter who has worked extensively in avant-garde, Minimalist and serious electronic veins (as well as in the acid jazz genre and other urban scenes), Ben Neill has long understood music to be a spatial art every bit as much as a temporal one. Whether working in the academic environment or in the club world, Neill’s compositions and recordings treat sounds as matter – as discrete objects and functions arrayed in the stereo field or in the round, sometimes over groove, sometimes as pure spatial-scape. This sensitivity makes Neill a likely candidate for high-concept environmental composition, music for unconventional venues and music wed to the particularities of the performance space. Or so believes the New York State Council on the Arts, who helped fund Neill’s new environmental composition Manitoga, a piece for brass quintet and electronics to be premiered on Saturday, July 26 on the grounds that share its name: Manitoga, the estate of the famous 20th-century industrial designer Russell Wright. In keeping with the spirit of innovative industrial design, Manitoga is a piece conceived and performed on novel metal instruments. The brass ensemble will play sculptor Carol Szymanski’s “phonemophones”: bugles in the form of letters. Neill himself will play the mutantrumpet, the hybrid acoustic/digital instrument that has been the focus of his work as a performer and as an instrumentdesigner for most of his recent career. Environmental music presents its own unique set of limitations and liberations.

The first freedom regards the directionality of music. Since they are not bound to the dimensions and orientation of the stage, composers can play in ingenious ways with points of sound origination, as Neill does in Manitoga. The performers will emerge from the woods, engaging in a dialogue across the space, pulling in toward and ultimately convening for a conventional stage performance at Manitoga’s quarry pool and waterfall. The Garrison resident Neill’s composition connects to the immediate

environment on multiple levels. It juxtaposes the iconic military musical theme “Taps” – typically played at dusk and at funerals and heard often in the distance, across the river at West Point – with imitative musical evocations of the natural environment, of birds and insects. It’s a strange postmodern canon and calland-response between the natural and the industrial, the wild and the civilized.

MUSIC

There’s golden oldies in them there hills Dutch Arms Chapel in Saugerties hosts “Songs of the Catskill Mountains” on Sunday

“T

here are basically two schools of thought on how to present traditional music,” says Liza DiSavino, who will perform “Songs of the Catskill Mountains” with husband and musical partner A. J. Bodnar in Saugerties’ Dutch Arms Chapel on Sunday, July 27 at 3 p.m. “One is that you try to replicate exactly the way people performed this music 150 to 200 years ago... But what we do is take old songs and give them new musical homes.” At their concert in Saugerties, part of the Heritage Folk Music series, the couple will perform their new take on old tunes, along with original material that the two composed in the spirit of old Catskills music. Bodnar plays piano, organ, synthesizer, piano-accordion and percussion instruments. DiSavino plays guitar, pennywhistle, piano, banjo, dulcimer, banjolin, zither, cornet and French horn, among other instruments, and both are vocalists and composers. The couple have recorded five duo albums, and each has solo albums as well. They’ve been playing music together since virtually the moment they met, says Bodnar, when he went to a songwriters’ circle that was held in Liza’s living room nearly two decades ago. The two currently live in Kentucky, where DiSavino is an assistant professor at Berea College, directing the folk roots ensemble and teaching music education, piano and French horn. Their interest in the traditional music of the Catskills goes back to when they lived in this region, where they still summer and spend time in December. “We lived in the Catskills for ten years and fell in love with this area,” says DiSavino. “We first became interested in researching the history of Catskills music when we came across a book called Folk Songs of the Catskills by Herbert Haufrecht. This book was a collection of songs that had been collected by campers of the ’40s to the ’60s at Camp Woodland in Phoenicia.” Camp Woodland was a progressive summer camp that evolved out of New Deal programs, with the collection and preservation of traditional folk music its primary purpose. Under the direction of Norman Studer and under musicologists Herbert Haufrecht and Norman Cazden, young campers learned about the disappearing traditions of the region and played an active role in collecting and documenting the music of the Catskills. “One of the things that Norman Studer was trying to do was break down barriers between people,” says DiSavino, “black and white, Christian and Jewish, and also urban and rural. So here were these urban school kids going out to these 80-year-old guys, having them sing songs for them. They wound up collecting these songs after Studer’s death, and put them in this big volume, Folk Songs of the Catskills. Once we moved to the Catskills, we got really interested in the music of the area and our interest was piqued by that book.” The couple began learning some songs from the book, which inspired them to do some research of their own. “We started talking to people and interviewing them, we found old hymnals in church basements and we spent a lot of time at the archives in Cooperstown at the New York State Historical Society. We came up with way more material than we could record on a single album. But we did put together an album of ten of those pieces called A Home in the Catskills.” Out of such rich resource material, how did the two choose which songs to record?

Throughout the event, Mark Stewart and Larry Campbell will take turns leading their favorite tunes, sharing stories, offering tips on technique and more. Musical nourishment will be accompanied by Cue BBQ and summer cocktails, with a

COURTESY OF THE NEW YORK FOLKLORE SOCIETY

One of the most important events at the fondly remembered Camp Woodland in Phoenicia was the Catskill Folk Festival, held each August.

“Some of the songs, you could say, were probably what modern audiences would think are a bit dated,” DiSavino says, “but we looked for songs on large topics that still had resonance: songs that were just beautiful songs. Some of the songs we found are just drop-dead gorgeous.” After leaving the Catskills for Kentucky, the couple was awarded a fellowship grant their first year there from the Hutchins Library Sound Archives to conduct a study comparing music of the Catskills with that of Southern Appalachia. “That allowed us to delve even more deeply into the guts of the music, and what is it that makes a Catskill piece a Catskill piece as opposed to a Southern Appalachian piece.” It turned out that, while there were a lot of similarities between the music that came out of the two regions – children’s ballads that came over at the same time to both places and radio’s common influence across the country on people’s conceptions of what folk music was – there were major differences as well. “One of the most profound differences that we found,” says DiSavino, “was that the Southern music had the distinct influence of African-American music, whereas the Northern music did not. Even though black people were free in the North, there was not much intermingling. But in the South, white people would hear the music down in the slave quarters and learn how to play the banjo and play these tunes.” After all, she notes, “Musicians go where the good tunes are.” DiSavino points out the influence of African-American music on Southern music in the backbeat, the blues notes (especially in bluegrass) and the bending of the notes, “which you have way more of in Southern singing than you do in Northern music. That’s also an African tradition; whereas in the Northern music, you really don’t have that; you have the strong influence of Irish music, of sea chanteys and of British ballads, but you don’t really have that same crossover.” For more information about the Saugerties Heritage Folk Music Series, contact Pat Lamanna at patla42@gmail.com.

tional Festival of the Voice, when the annual Belleayre Festival Opera up at the ski center’s summer conservatory puts on the eternal crowd-pleaser Lucia di Lammermoor, by Gaetano Donizetti, under the stars this Saturday, July 26. And what a passionate piece Lucia is, taking the standard angst of a Shakespearean romantic tragedy several steps into what many consider “the operatic,” at least in plotting terms. The narrative follows a lovelorn Scots lady in love with the son of her family’s enemy clan and the extent to which her brother goes to ensure that her heart’s wishes never come true. The great arias here, which helped make the careers of Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland, include the apparitions of murdered ghosts and a mad scene spurred on by jealousy, remorse, heartbreak and hatred of all that fate can do to one in a short lifetime. The Belleayre production of Lucia will be sung in Italian with supertitles; it represents the 16th such summer opera production produced and directed by Donald Westwood. – Paul Smart

ESSENTIALLY THE OPERA “IS ABOUT FEAR OF FEMALE SEXUALITY AND FIDELITY,” said Euryanthe’s director Kevin Newbury.

CORY WEAVER

Ellie Dehn stars in Carl Maria von Weber’s rarely staged Euryanthe

Haunted by jealousy Carl Maria von Weber opera Euryanthe opens on Friday at Bard SummerScape is a story of jealousy, in which a rival for the eponymous heroine’s affections seeks to undermine the trust of her betrothed, a soldier named Adolar. The evil count joins forces with a woman under Eur yanthe’s protection who is secretly in love with Adolar and schemes to destroy Euryanthe and her relationship with him. A ghost haunting the premises adds to the Gothic flavor: It’s the soul of Adolar’s sister, who committed suicide and will only find peace if certain actions are taken by the heroine. Essentially the opera “is about fear of female sexuality and fidelity,” said

Elements of Euryanthe reappear in Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin. “Wagner knew the opera very well and was a very shrewd semi-plagiarist,” Gibbs said.

Euryanthe’s director Kevin Newbury. By choosing a period “of corsets and buttoned-up women, of a patriarchal society,” the opera focuses on repressed desire and the demonization of the victim, akin to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Telltale Heart,” noted Newbury; for much of the production, the heroine is literally a marked woman. By focusing on such psychically powerful themes, the production helps smooth over the more preposterous lapses in the libretto, said Meyer. “When a woman is sexually repressed, it’s easy to believe the heroine was bullied into believing she had been bullied” by her fiancé, she explained, referring to Euryanthe’s unwise revelation of a secret that she shared with Adolar to the woman who posed as her friend. The Gothic setting heightens the intensity of “this quintessential work of German Romanticism, with its big chorus, big overture and huge orchestral sound,” said Newbury.

ach year Bard’s SummerScape program includes a fully staged opera, which is selected according to three requirements: It must relate to the season’s featured composer; it must be relatively rare or unknown to contemporary audiences; and it must, of course, be a noteworthy work of art, deserving of a significant investment of money and artistic effort. Euryanthe, a grand opera by Carl Maria von Weber, fits the bill perfectly: Weber was not only a contemporary of Franz Schubert, this season’s featured composer, but the lackluster reception of Euryanthe when it premiered in Vienna in 1823 also prefigured the failure of Schubert’s one and only fulllength opera to get produced in his lifetime. Last staged at the Met in 1914, Euryanthe hasn’t been performed in the US in a century. And while the opera’s failure to catch on has partly been blamed on the weak libretto and absurd plot, the music soars, according to Susana Meyer, producer of SummerScape opera. “It has real arias,” she said. “Pieces of the music get lodged in my brain and I can’t get them out. It’s very beautiful and very sticky.” Plus, by setting the opera – which is based on a 13th-century French romance – in the Victorian Era, some of the weaknesses of the plot are turned into strengths, according to Meyer. Briefly, Euryanthe

The five principals are Ellie Dehn as Euryanthe; William Burden as Adolar, the noble soldier and Euryanthe’s betrothed; Ryan Kuster as Lysiart, the evil count who lusts after Euryanthe and seeks to destroy Adolar by undermining his trust in Euryanthe; Wendy Bryn Harmer as Eglantine, the mutineer’s daughter who betrays Euryanthe (a “mean woman” through and through, hence a delight to play, according to Harmer); and Peter Volpe as King Ludwig. While Euryanthe never enjoyed the popularity of Weber’s Der Freischutz – an earlier work that epitomizes German Romantic opera in its references to the supernatural and weaving of simple folklike melodies into the score – it broke new ground: It was the first work of Weber’s that lacks spoken dialogue, and its continuous musical texture and consistent use of contrasting harmonic styles to characterize good and evil achieved a greater unity than in the earlier piece. Christopher Gibbs, co-artistic director of SummerScape and also an authority on Schubert and the resident scholar of this year’s festival, noted that the plot and other elements of Euryanthe reappear in Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin. “Wagner knew the opera very well and was a very shrewd semi-plagiarist,” Gibbs said. Gibbs added that one reason why Euryanthe failed to catch on in Vienna was that the opera was in German, which did not go over well with a public that was awash in Italian fever and in particular crazy about Gioachino Rossini. That failure “was another blow for German opera,” which didn’t recover until the advent of Wagner a few decades later, he noted. Even today, Euryanthe “has a bit of a bad reputation,” according to Meyer. It’s produced so seldom that Newbury likened the Bard production to a world premiere, and said that he felt as if he were “taking the first crack” at the piece. The SummerScape sets and costumes are sumptuous, the singing magnificent. This production of Euryanthe is another compelling reason why culture aficionados no longer have to travel to Manhattan to experience glorious works of art in which gems of tradition have been retrieved from the dustbin of history and polished to perfection for today’s audience. – Lynn Woods

he growth of the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, which was launched five years ago by three local opera singers as a benefit to raise money for a local playground, has truly been phenomenal. Last year, 5,000 visitors traveled to the small hamlet to catch a performance in the large white tent located in a field ringed by the Catskill Mountains or a concert in one of the smaller venues in town, which include a charming wooden playhouse and several churches. “There are only three or four festivals in the world that use ‘voice’ in their title, and we’re the only one in English,” said festival co-founder Maria Todaro-Otey. She attributes the festival’s success to two factors: the high quality of the performances – a tribute to the ability of co-founder Louis Otey, himself a well-known baritone, to draw on his extensive network of friends in enticing top performers to Phoenicia – and the support of the community. This year, 189 volunteers will help put on the festival. Recently, a group of university researchers working on a census report on the arts in the America selected the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice as the representative arts group for the region and grilled the founders on “how you bring in thousands with no budget in a town of 300 people,” she said. And two years ago the festival received an award from the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce thanks to its success in attracting tourists and boosting business in the region. A few weeks ago, the new King of Spain was crowned. Although that event evaded the radar of most Americans, it inspired the theme of this year’s Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice. Flamenco dancing, an evening of classic Mediterranean heartthrob songs titled “O Sole Mio,” a production of Gioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville and a performance of Spanish Renaissance choral music by the Cambridge Chamber Singers are among the highlights. Two interns from Spain will be employed at the festival, which is scheduled from July 30 through August 3. It will conclude on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. with an unusual Misa Criolla (translated, it means “Creole Mass”), a chorale performance featuring 100 people onstage that combines a traditional oratorio and operatic-style solos with an orchestra consisting of folk instruments, including Peruvian flutes, numerous guitars and Andean percussive instruments. “It’s not classical, but written in a classical way, a masslike requiem” whose Andean folk-music flavor reflects

the heritage of the Argentine composer Ariel Ramirez, noted Todaro-Otey. This year’s festival opens at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30 with a performance of flamenco dancing and singing to a full orchestra in a piece titled El Amor Brujo, which tells the story of a woman who is haunted by her dead husband’s spirit and her unrequited love for another man. “It’s rare to present flamenco in a symphonic context,” said Todaro-Otey. The performers are from Spain, with the addition of an Argentine. The next night, on July 31, the annual “Voices of Distinction” program will present a performance of Baroque music starring world-famous countertenor

Maria Todaro-Otey and Louis Otey

Brian Asawa, accompanied by period instruments played by the ensemble Sinfonia New York and Christine Gummere. Todaro-Otey noted that in their day, countertenors, whose high, angelic voices were the result of having been partially castrated while they were boys, “were the rock stars of the time. Women were tossing their bodies at them. They couldn’t make babies, but they had it.” She likens the group to a 17th-century version of the Doors. Todaro-Otey is unapologetic about the glitzy, Vegas aspect of the next night’s songfest, “O Sole Mio: A Mediterranean Fiesta,” in which Italian tenor José Todaro and mezzo-soprano Maria Helena de Oliveira, a native Brazilian, will sing classic, unabashedly sentimental favorites from Italy and Spain, accompanied by a choir and orchestra. The soloists happen to be her parents. (They still live in Paris, where Maria, an only child, was brought up, and where her father was a popular singer with recordings released on the CBS, Decca and BMG labels.) “It’s music people love,” she said. On Saturday afternoon, August 2, the festival will present a working

production of Clarimonde, a new opera still in development by French composer Frederic Chaslin and librettist P. H. Fisher. The two previously collaborated on the well-received Wuthering Heights; sections of Clarimonde have been performed or recorded in Norway, Italy, Israel and Russia. The piece, which features four singers and is directed by Eric Einhorn, is based on Theophile Gautier’s La Morte Amoureuse, a supernatural tale, of the type that was popular during the Romantic movement of the early 19th century, concerning a handsome priest’s love affair with a beautiful vampiress. As it happens, she is not the stereotypical bloodthirsty villainess, but rather an alluring courtesan who believes that the priest’s love – as well as his pure priestly blood – will redeem her from the state of eternal doom imposed on her by her master, called the Maker. Soprano Alyson Cambridge, who plays the vampiress, has received accolades for her performances at the Met, the Lyric Opera of Chicago and other leading opera companies from the national press, while tenor Dominic Armstrong, who plays the priest, won the 2013 George London

Otey. His visit to Israel yielded a recording of an Israeli choral group, which will be used in the performance. Director Einhorn founded On Site Opera, which has performed operas in such unconventional venues as the Bronx Zoo, Harlem’s Cotton Club and Madame Tussaud’s waxworks in New York City. On Site Opera collaborated with the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice in this production: It hired most of the artists and helped with the financing, in exchange for housing. Such creative partnerships enable “grassroots organizations like ours” to survive in the face of a trend in which opera companies are folding, said Todaro-Otey. A questionand-answer session with the conductor and stars will follow the performance. On the evening of August 2, a semistaged production of Rossini’s opera buffa masterpiece, The Barber of Seville, will be performed on the main stage, with Lucas Meachem playing Figaro. Meachem is an emerging star, who flies the next day to London to play the role at Covent Garden. Kevin Glavin plays Bartolo, the

doctor, while Korean star Hak Soo Kim plays the count. David Wroe, formerly of the New York City Opera, is staging the production, and Todaro-Otey herself is singing Rosina, the rich girl in the doctor’s house. Considering her other considerable responsibilities in putting on the festival, “It’s stupid, but I love the role the most of any and couldn’t resist,” Todaro-Otey said. The festival will also present a noteworthy world premiere: Carey Harrison’s new play, The Seven Favorite Maladies of Ludwig van Beethoven, a tribute to the composer’s hypochondria and his relationship with his doctor, described in seven movements, as his deafness engulfs him. Pianist Justin Kolb will play Beethoven, while Harrison will perform the role of the doctor. The hourlong production will be performed on August 1, 2 and 3 in the Shandaken Playhouse. Storytelling for children, lectures by festival participants on related topics, a free master class by Met opera singer Anthony Laciura, a presentation of the

art of the cantor by Jack Mendelson, a free “Shape Note” workshop in which people who can’t read music learn a new, quick technique that enables them to join in the singing and a gospel celebration at the Wesleyan Church by Lisa Daltrius and Lawrence Craig on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. round out the festival. Tickets to The Barber of Seville cost $25 ($5 for kids under age 18): a tenth of the price that they would cost at the Met. General admission tickets to the main stage events cost $25, $55 VIP; some events cost less, at $15 per person. A pass to all six main stage performances costs $280. While several of the smaller venues typically sell out, there is always plenty of space at the main stage, so for many performances you can simply show up. Todaro-Otey’s commitment to making vocal music more accessible to the public doesn’t end with the festival. Five years ago, she started a community choir in Phoenicia. More than a simple diversion, “It’s a community binder,” she said.

“Singing together has been lost in Western culture, but in other cultures people still sing together while sitting around the fire.” It’s a healing activity “that’s good for peace,” she said, referencing a book written in the Renaissance about an Italian village in the Middle Ages whose 69 choirs, serving the Muslim, Catholic and Jewish inhabitants, were responsible for keeping peace in the community while war raged elsewhere. She started a second choir in Woodstock two years ago; both music groups meet once a week, and combined they attract 60 to 80 people. (Someone else started a third community choir in Margaretville, which also meets weekly.) “There’s no audition and it’s free,” she said. “It’s my way of saying ‘Thank you, God’ for everything I have.” – Lynn Woods Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, July 30-August 3, $15-$55, (845) 586-3588, www.phoeniciavoicefest.org.

MOVIE

ALMANAC WEEKLY

July 24, 2014

FUNDED BY THE HOOP DREAMS DIRECTOR through a Kickstarter campaign, Life Itself the movie intersperses the story of Ebert’s life – from wunderkind self-publisher in Urbana, Illinois through his hard-drinking early years at the Chicago Sun-Times, his volatile partnership with Siskel and his long professional relationships with the Conference on World Affairs and the Cannes Film Festival – with frank and touching footage of Ebert’s final months of hospitalization.

Forever thumbsup Life Itself surveys the life of film critic Roger Ebert with frankness & affection

ilm critics are an opinionated lot, though why our opinions might matter more than yours is a very good question indeed. With the exception of highbrow cinema scholars of the Andrew Sarris ilk, I don’t think that we necessarily appreciate films more or analyze them with greater insight than the average moviegoer. We just tend to be better at putting our reactions into words on the printed page. Working as I do in a regional publishing market, I don’t need to set all that much professional ego aside to concede the crown of America’s Most Beloved Movie Critic to the late, great Roger Ebert, whose popcorn spillage this humble reviewer is indeed unworthy to sweep up. Though he certainly had an encyclopedic knowledge of the art of cinema, Ebert was no snob: He was a keen discoverer of independent films by unknown directors, and could love a well-executed movie in a trashy pulp genre as thoroughly as some auteur’s masterpiece. He even wrote the screenplay for Russ Meyer’s Beyond the Valley of the Dolls in 1970 as a lark, after finding himself amused by the camp sexploitation king’s Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Ebert saw the film medium as a form of public discourse, and film criticism – even when it involved yelling at longtime onscreen sparring partner Gene Siskel that his opinions of a movie were just

plain wrong – as an intellectual art that any moviegoer could practice. It was for his unpretentious populism as much as for his cogent writing that movie fans around the world took Ebert to their hearts, though the thumbs-up/thumbsdown shorthand that became his and Siskel’s trademark also earned the pair some opprobrium from more academic critics. But as we learn from Steve James’s remarkable biopic now in theaters, based on Ebert’s 2011 memoir Life Itself, even Pauline Kael, the doyenne of American film criticism, thought that Ebert was the best of their breed, and told him so to his face. Funded by the Hoop Dreams director through a Kickstarter campaign, Life Itself the movie intersperses the story of Ebert’s life – from wunderkind self-publisher in Urbana, Illinois through his harddrinking early years at the Chicago SunTimes, his volatile partnership with Siskel and his long professional relationships with the Conference on World Affairs and the Cannes Film Festival – with frank and touching footage of Ebert’s frequent hospitalizations and stints in rehab facilities in the final months of his life.

eat, speak or swallow – or, needless to say, host a film criticism segment on TV. But with the stalwart support of his wife Chaz, he plowed on with his writing, eagerly explored the new medium of Internet blogging and became adept at the use of electronic voice simulation software. A complex picture of the man emerges from interviews with old friends from his Chicago barfly days, with Siskel’s widow Marlene Iglitzen and with filmmakers whose careers got a jumpstart from his positive reviews. Ebert helped put Gregory Nava, Errol Morris, Ava DuVernay and Ramin Bahrani on the world cinema map by championing their early efforts El Norte, Gates of Heaven, I Will Follow and Man Push Cart respectively, and his enthusiasm for the talents of Werner Herzog and Martin Scorsese bolstered their sagging mid-careers in the 1980s. We hear testimonials from all of them in this fascinating documentary. For all the abundant affection and esteem for Ebert that this film captures, nowhere does James shy away from the darker side of the man’s personality, such as his early alcoholism, his egotism and his pugnacity – the latter especially with Siskel, vividly demonstrated in outtakes from their TV shows that make it clear that their mutual animosity was not just

Sponsored in part by

a gimmick to raise ratings. Counterbalancing these weaknesses in character are glimpses of his social conscience, such as a brilliant, heartfelt editorial on the death of four girls in the 1964 Birmingham church bombing that he wrote while still a student, along with many tender exchanges with Chaz, whom Ebert married at age 50, and with her children and grandchildren from a previous marriage. The transitions from recent scenes of Ebert’s battle with cancer – he died on April 4, 2013 at age 70 – to reminiscences about his early life and stellar career are smoothed with voiceover passages from his memoir, ably delivered by actor Stephen Stanton. The entire documentary hangs together beautifully, its narrative flow as compelling as any movie critic might wish. If you ever grinned over, got inspired by or annoyed at a Roger Ebert review, or even if you just love the cinema, you owe it to yourself to go see Life Itself. As he always liked to sign off: See you at the movies. – Frances Marion Platt To read Frances Marion Platt’s previous movie reviews & other film-related pieces, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com and click on the “film” tab.

Locally shot Cold in July screens this weekend in Rosendale & Woodstock We’re a couple months away from the Woodstock Film Festival yet, but the season’s ripe now for film shoots around the region, as well as unveilings of such locally shot fare as the brand-new Cold in July, which gets its regional premieres in Rosendale on Thursday, July 24 and Woodstock on Saturday, July 26, both with writer/director Jim Mickle in attendance. The film, which premiered at Sundance in January and has received strong reviews for its hardboiled mixed-genre tale of a random crime, stars Michael C. Hall of Dexter fame, up-and-comer Vinessa Shaw and veterans Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. It was shot in Esopus, around Woodstock and in other regional locations. Mickle is known for his debut work Mulberry Street, a horror film about gentrification; Stake Land, a vampire/ zombie apocalypse film shot partly in the Catskills and produced by Larry Fessenden of Olive; and We Are What We Are, another rural horror flick. Cold in July is his biggest picture to date, based on a novel with straight crime elements. – Paul Smart Cold in July screening with director Jim Mickle, Thursday, July 24, 7:15 p.m., Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main Street, Rosendale; Saturday, July 26, 2 p.m., Upstate Films, 132 Tinker Street, Woodstock; www.hudsonvalleyfilmcommission.org.

Winnakee Nature Preserve Trail The Hyde Park Healthy Trails Walkabout is a network of 11 walking and hiking trails in Hyde Park. After walking any five of the trails, participants can receive a free Hyde Park Trails patch. My daughter and I recently completed our first of these trails: the Winnakee Nature Preserve Trail. Parking for this trail is very easy, because it’s right along Route 9, not up in the mountains somewhere; so you could tuck it into your schedule anytime for a spontaneous outing. I parked behind the defunct Pete’s Famous Café and Grill, located at 4204 Albany Post Road (Route 9) in Hyde Park; but another option is to park at the end of Terwilliger Road Extension. The trailhead behind Pete’s Famous is on the north end of the lot, marked with a lovely stone block and an information kiosk. The Winnakee Trail is a short, easy 1.3mile round-trip loop, and it’s free to the public. Two things to remember are that it’s very buggy, so I highly recommend wearing bug spray for this one, and to be aware of the poison ivy along the edges of the path. I hope that you give the Winnakee Trail a try, and let me know what you think!

Jumpin’ Mexican bean beetles! These two organic pest sprays make effective ﬁnal lines of defense

Green beans are a mainstay of my garden – of just about every garden. More than 20 years ago, Mexican bean beetles (a species of ladybug!) found my bean plants and have plagued them every year since.

The adults, with eight black spots over a red or yellow background, wake up late from winter sleep to lay eggs on bean leaves. I’ve come to despise the yellow, balled-up spiny larvae that gorge on leaves and other plant parts. Still, I have managed to grow good WWW.N

crops of beans over the years – not by killing the beetles or their larvae, but by growing a different plant, sort of. Rather than grow pole beans, which reside in the garden all season long to provide a constant source of beetle food, I have been planting successive crops of bush beans. Bush bean plants tend to bear quickly and for about three weeks, then peter out, so a new planting in a new bed goes into the ground every three weeks from mid-May until late July. Yield from a planting tapers off just as its resident beetle population is beginning a feeding frenzy. Then it’s time to pull up the plants, thoroughly clear the bed of leaves and old pods and rush it all to the compost pile. Chopping the debris with a machete and burying it beneath straw and manure, and watering the pile as needed, sends the temperature soaring, killing most of the beetles. Bean beetles are good fliers, so cooking the beetles in the compost pile doesn’t solve the problem – just keeps it under control. Something strange happened this year: As of this writing, only one beetle larva has been seen. Last year I doused the bean plants a few times with one of two organic sprays, which gave good beetle control. It also gave me the confidence to try growing pole beans, as I did in my pre-Mexican bean beetle days. They got some bean beetles, but we did harvest pole beans. The sprays were Entrust and Azamax, both approved for organic agriculture. The active ingredient in Entrust is spinosad, a compound found in

Azamax is an extract of the seed of the tropical neem tree, native to the Indian subcontinent. In that part of the world, this one tree has been used as human food, insect repellant, bird repellant and an ingredient of soap. It degrades rapidly in soil or in water, and is harmless to earthworms, honeybees and insect predators. Food crops can be harvested right after spraying Azamax. Still, Azamax and Entrust are pesticides. Perhaps the bean beetle cycle has been broken here and sprays can be forgone in the future. I’ll keep calm. No sprays this year – yet.

NIGHT SKY

Going faster: How we did it

hen we gaze into the night sky, we always observe superfast motion – even though nothing seems to be moving at all. But starting just ten human generations ago, we ourselves began traveling fast. Our body speed didn’t change much during the first 2,000 centuries of human history. We walked or ran. An hour of effort let us sweatily advance ourselves from three to ten miles. After we tamed horses, we galloped for short distances. In modern times the average American walks 65,000 miles in a lifetime: more than twice around the world. That’s not so different from our ancestors. This is: We also each travel a million miles. Such a degree of movement was unheard-of until recently (and not just because the word “million” didn’t exist until the 14th century, before which the largest number was a “myriad”: 100,000). Danger-per-mile was so much higher even during the Civil War that no one would have lived to accumulate that many frequenttraveler points. True, an extraordinary 19th-century railway conductor or seaman might have accrued that much – but he’d likely have lots of scars to prove it. The pivotal point in human travel arrived two centuries ago. Huge changes unfolded between 1790 and 1830. At the start of that period, most travel was by carriage along potholed dirt roads at four to six miles per hour. By all accounts it was torture. If your route took you over the best roads, between major cities like New York and Boston, you could make the trip in five or six days. You’d be hot or cold, beset by buzzing insects attracted by the horses themselves, and it was not fun. Two major improvements boosted long-distance transportation to average a new and celebrated eight to nine miles per hour. The first was the introduction of raised Macadamized roads, with side trenches for drainage. This meant laying three courses of stones, the largest on the bottom with the finest ones compacted at the top. Riding on these high-ways dramatically reduced lurching and bumping. The first national highway using the Scotsman John Loudon McAdam’s method was an 80-foot-wide triumph that headed west from Cumberland, Maryland, which eventually became part of US 40. The second speed-booster was the stagecoach. By the 1830s, carriage companies used relays of horses that would be changed every 40 miles or so along the route. With fresh horses attached at regular intervals or stages, the New York-to-Boston run was cut to one-and-a-half days. At around this time, steamboats increasingly plied waterways, starting with the

July 24, 2014

Clermont right here on the Hudson in 1807. Railroads (always called r a i l w a y s then) grew dramatically too, and in the late 1830s they were routinely clocking 15 to 20 miles per hour. This was unprecedented nonstop speed, DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY and people paused from working in their fields to watch the wood-fired, smoke-belching roofed carriages pass by, their occupants enduring facefuls of soot and embers. By 1840, 3,000 miles of track had been laid, mostly here in the Northeast, and that Boston trip now took a single day. Children in the 1790s grew up to be astonished at the rapid change in travel speed that they’d witnessed by the time they were grandparents in their 50s. It was a whole new world. There was a down side, however. As people increasingly voyaged by train and boat, roads were neglected and took on a rutted dilapidation by the mid-19th century. They became suitable for local transportation only: the way you’d get into town from your farm, or visit relatives a few towns over. This turnaround didn’t reverse until the infatuation with the automobile two generations later. Cars were originally hailed as environmental saviors with their promise of eradicating the stench of horses, the thick swarms of flies and disease that their feces attracted and the unrelenting din of horseshoes on urban cobblestones. Cars carry our story to the present, when we routinely hurl ourselves at 72 miles per hour on the freeway. Your very fastest body speed? On the ground it’s 180 miles per hour. That’s the rate of European, Japanese and Chinese bullet trains. It’s also the takeoff speed of heavy jumbo jets just before they’re airborne. It’s the fastest that most of us have ever moved on the ground. In the air, the normal cruise speed of the good old Boeing 747 is still the very fastest of all planes, at 655 miles per hour. And that’s the speediest that your body has ever moved, relative to our planet. – Bob Berman This week’s column was adapted from Bob Berman’s newest book, Zoom. Want to know more?

What a tangled web Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival presents hilarious Corneille farce The Liar

“A

liar should have a good memory,” wrote the Roman author Quintilian in the first century AD. Abraham Lincoln tweaked that admonition a bit more moralistically to “No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.” And Mark Twain put his own waggish spin on Honest Abe’s bromide with “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” Clearly, we’re onto something profound here – perhaps even a universal truth. For Dorante, the protagonist of Pierre Corneille’s 1643 French comedy The Liar (Le Menteur) – playing through August 31 at Boscobel in Garrison, courtesy of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) and directed by Drama Desk prizewinner Russell Treyz – universal truth is much too lofty and elusive a goal. He’s not quite entirely incapable of the

occasional true statement, but when it happens, it seems to do so by accident: mere proof of the existence of randomness in the universe. His mendacity is not so much a compulsive vice as it is a function of his lightning wit and irrepressible opportunism. As Dorante arrives in Paris at the outset of the play, his first act is to hire a chancemet street scalawag named Cliton as his manservant, buying his complicity in a scheme to win the heart and hand of some comely lass with a substantial dowry. His second act is to spin a tale of his prowess in battle worthy of Baron Münchausen (even though he has been nowhere near the war front), designed to impress any ladies who might be listening. A pair of young noblewomen, Clarice and Lucrece, initially take the bait, but are not fooled for long and quickly conspire to turn the tables. Complicating matters are the facts that 1) Dorante has gotten the two women’s names mixed up, 2) Clarice is secretly engaged to Dorante’s very short-tempered friend Alcippe and 3) Dorante’s father Geronte is also in town, bent on negotiating an advantageous marriage for his son with the daughter of a noble acquaintance. That seems like enough matter to fuel plenty of pratfalls in a 17th-century French farce; but in his sparkling 2010 “translaptation” of The Liar, playwright David Ives pumps up the absurdity to a whole ’nother level. He

bestows upon Cliton the constitutional inability to tell a lie, and turns Clarice and Lucrece’s waiting-women – flirtatious Isabelle and dour Sabine – into a pair of identical twins à la Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors. Chaos predictably ensues, with Dorante forced to rely rather too heavily on good memory as his “keystone of a master liar” before his inevitable (but not too harsh) comeuppance. “In taking a play like The Liar, I was handed a gorgeous, intricate plot with extraordinary comic turns. And so all I had to do, really, in taking this was turn it up to 11,” said Ives. The fact that he has authored plays with titles like Words, Words, Words, The Universal Language and English Made Simple should clue us in that this is a writer who revels in wordplay above all, and his skill is on dazzling display in this masterful new/old work. Though Ives discards the original French-friendly scansion for good old reliable iambic pentameter, he preserves Corneille’s couplets and uses them as excuses for the most outrageous puns and rhymes forced through deliberate mispronunciation. This may sound like the lowest, broadest sort of verbal humor, but the pace of the writing is so breathtakingly rapid-fire that it demands the listener’s closest attention if you don’t want to miss half the jokes – and you don’t. Indeed, it would be advisable to imbibe a cup of strong coffee rather than a mellowing glass of wine with

your Boscobel picnic before taking in this show. The Liar’s archly modernized text is also densely laced with anachronistic slang, odd snippets of Shakespeare and a million other rib-tickling nuggets of clever linguistic mayhem. Such a verbal tour de force, with the protagonist weaving long-winded, selfaggrandizing soliloquies and cleverly circuitous defenses of his dishonest method of courtship, requires an actor with as good a memory as a true master liar, along with the panache to pull off this character’s swagger without sacrificing his roguish charm. Jason O’Connell – who also turns in a notable performance as Iago’s gull Roderigo in Othello at HVSF this season – is laudably up to this daunting task. In fact, on a recent stormy night, O’Connell improvised a cheeky new couplet (rhyming “later” and “generator”) to bridge a break in the action after a brief power failure. (With the help of the sound crew, he also made his secondhalf entrance out of a downpour miming Gene Kelly’s “Singin’ in the Rain.”) How an actor can whip off this demanding part two to three nights a week for two months running is beyond comprehension, but O’Connell nails it utterly. The man has comic genius – not to mention impressive endurance. The rest of the cast are no slouches, either: Gabra Zackman gives as good as she gets in the tricksiness department as the sly Clarice, and Katie Hartke as Lucrece proves herself an absolute master at pantomime in a scene where she is coaching Clarice in a midnight rendezvous with Dorante. Maggie McDowell flips personalities on a dime as Isabelle and Sabine, driving poor abused Cliton – ably played by Michael Borelli – into evergreater depths of perplexity. Max Hunter maintains a level of jealous apoplexy that is almost alarming as Alcippe, and shows

a gift for physical comedy worthy of the days of silent movies; not for nothing is he the designated dance captain in this production. HVSF’s production of The Liar is screamingly, sidesplittingly funny. You really need to go see it this summer. Performances at Boscobel House and Gardens’ 540-seat outdoor pavilion are scheduled for July 23, 25, 27 and 30, August 1, 5, 9, 11, 14, 20, 23, 25, 28 and 31, in repertory with Othello and The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Shanley. Over the entire three decades of its existence, beginning with Savage in Limbo in 1984 when he was not yet world-famous, Shanley has been workshopping his plays at Powerhouse, including his 2005 Pulitzer Prize, Drama Desk and Tony Award-winner Doubt: A Parable. So close is the relationship that he also serves on the theater festival’s Artistic Advisory Board. Clearly, the Vassar College campus has become a sort of second home in summertime for the much-lauded playwright, screenwriter and director. Letting the press and general public in to see a work-in-progress and witness the kinks that haven’t been worked out of it yet is a daunting prospect for some authors, but Shanley seems to relish the challenge. “The audience is genius,” he is quoted on the Powerhouse website. “They know everything and you just have to listen to them.” So if you’ve ever fantasized about giving some world-class artist a bit of feedback on a work in its early stages, you might want to check out John Patrick Shanley’s 15th opus to be presented at Powerhouse: The Danish Widow, which runs through this weekend. Although it’s a Mainstage production, the play – as of its openingnight performance, at least – is still a little rough around the edges, offering audiences an opportunity to demonstrate what they like or don’t like about it while the playwright furiously scribbles notes in his own margins. Also rough around the edges – by design, like most of Shanley’s iconic working-class characters – is the play’s protagonist, Joyce Fisher-Morgan. With a bitter outlook on life fed by a mysterious romantic disappointment in her past, she’s the black sheep of a high-rolling insurance dynasty that specializes in the shipping industry, more interested in the grunt work of investigating dodgy claims than in sitting at some posh family Board of Directors

table. As played by Kyra Sedgwick – best-known for her long-running, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning role as Brenda Leigh Johnson in The Closer, in addition to being as few degrees of separation as is humanly possible from Kevin Bacon – Joyce seems tough as nails on the outside, but has a big vulnerable spot that is easily penetrated by the mysterious claimant of the title. Imagine a grittier, more urban version of Jodie Foster’s Clarice in The Silence of the Lambs and you’ll get a notion of Sedgwick’s portrayal of the character. Joyce’s sidekick – underling, actually – is the family firm’s most skilled investigator, Kirby, who fairly closely fits the stereotype of hardnosed film noir detective, except that he’s in insurance. He’s superb at what he does, but has tired of the chase and wants to get out of the business – at least he thinks so. Most of the humor in The

Danish Widow derives from Craig Bierko’s bug-eyed rendition of Kirby as a portly, schlubby gumshoe who still feels entitled to score with the femme fatale who’s his designated quarry. Aside from some fumbling with an accent that can’t seem to make up its mind whether it’s English or Scandinavian, Annika Boras is the perfect icy blonde foil for the investigative team: a fashion designer (her name, Aline, is pronounced “A-line” like the dress style) and the sole beneficiary of a very generous life insurance policy after her philandering husband topples off a ship and drowns, with no witnesses. Also in the cast, and very good in his brief scene, is Matt McGrath as Aline’s gay brother Edvard, whose kleptomania keeps him constantly border-hopping. Narelle Sissons’ ingenious set design for this production is worth a special mention: The hull of a ship has seemingly

theater previews Swashbuckle down Woodstock Playhouse stages The Three Musketeers

JAMES CRIDLAND

Celebrated French author Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a larger-than-life character himself, experiencing many an exploit that fed his voluminous writing output. His grandfather was a marquis, his grandmother an African slave in Haiti, his father a high-ranking general famed nearly as much for his handsomeness as for his valorous exploits in war. Young Alexandre participated in the 1830 Revolution on behalf of his employer, Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, and subsequently had to flee to Belgium when Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte replaced the “Citizen King.” He traveled in Russia and Italy, getting involved in the Italian reunification movement. Dumas made gobs of money on his writing, then spent it so lavishly that he was forced to sell the country house that he had dubbed the Château de Monte Cristo a mere two years after he had it custom-built. He studied fencing, had more than 40 documented mistresses, including a famous American actress of the day, and fathered at least four illegitimate children – one of whom, Alexandre Dumas fils, achieved literary fame rivalling his father’s as the author of Camille, the basis for Verdi’s La Traviata. This adventurous life provided plenty of grist for Dumas père’s swashbuckling romances, among them The Count of Monte Cristo, The Corsican Brothers, The Man in the Iron Mask and of course, his 1844 novel The Three Musketeers. The latter has been made into well over a dozen movies and adapted several times for the stage, including a 1928 musical with lyrics by Bertie-and-Jeeves’s creator, P. G. Wodehouse. That’s

been sawn in thirds, with the bow serving as a platform for some actual shipboard scenes and the stern and keel arrayed to form surfaces for projected images like falling rain, a business’ signboard or text identifying the locale of a particular scene. Other than that, there’s little in the way of scenery, furniture or props. As drama, The Danish Widow tries to put a new spin on a familiar genre, and whether that was working wasn’t entirely clear on opening night. A big twist at the end of the first act came so abruptly out of left field that this reviewer didn’t buy it, but I was willing to run with the complicating premise in the latter portions of the story. Joyce’s interactions with Aline and Edvard generally seemed more polished than her buddy-cop routines with Kirby, whose bantering dialogue occasionally sounded like non-sequiturs. Whether the flaws are

not the version that will be performed onstage at the Woodstock Playhouse this weekend; if you go, you’ll be catching the 1968 adaptation written by Peter Raby expressly for the Stratford, Ontario Shakespeare Festival, where no fewer than four productions have been mounted in the ensuing years. Described by the Woodstock Playhouse folks as “an amorous adventure filled with handsome swashbuckling heroes, and a collection of cunning royal femmes fatales who have them jumping at every turn,” and “a bawdy night of beauty, adventure, manipulation and love,” Raby’s version of The Three Musketeers is by no means Saturday-afternoon-at-the-movies kiddie adventure fare. The tale of young D’Artagnan’s quest to join the elite royal guard features considerable bloodshed, including torture, assassinations and a beheading in addition to numerous swordfights – not to mention multiple betrayals, adultery, seduction for the most cynical of purposes and a rather vivid verbal description of a gang rape. It’s probably more suited for fans of a certain currently popular medieval HBO series than for the PG-13 crowd. That being said, look no further if you relish a rollicking evening of gallant deeds by Athos, Porthos and Aramis, their young apprentice and their resourceful servants, versus the dastardly schemes of a couple of literature’s juiciest villains: the utterly unscrupulous Milady de Winter and the cunning, power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu. Expect frequent choruses of “All for one, one for all!” punctuating a plot densely woven with political intrigue. The Three Musketeers will be performed at the Woodstock Playhouse from Thursday to Saturday, July 24, 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. There will be no Sunday matinée for this production. Ticket prices range from $32 to $40. For more information or to purchase tickets, call the box office at (845) 679-6900 or visit www.woodstockplayhouse.org. – Frances Marion Platt The Three Musketeers, Thursdays-Saturday, July 2426, 8 p.m. $32-$40, Woodstock Playhouse, Playhouse Lane, 103 Mill Hill Road, Woodstock; (845) 6796900, www.woodstockplayhouse.org.

Twelfth Night at Comeau Property in Woodstock Star-crossed lovers and cross-dressing intrigues, lyrical language and a bit of costumed romping in an outdoor setting as the sun begins its slow descent: Such is the stuff of free outdoor theater, and Shakespeare in particular, this time

in the flow of the writing or in Sedgwick and Bierko’s scenes being insufficiently rehearsed remains to be seen; but perhaps those wrinkles will already have been ironed out. That’s what you’re there for, in any case – as well as to have a good time while gaining insight into the backstage creative process. The remaining performances of John Patrick Shanley’s new play The Danish Widow at the Powerhouse Theater Mainstage on the Vassar College campus begin at 8 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, July 23 to 26, with 2 p.m. matinées on Saturday and Sunday, July 26 and 27. Tickets cost $40 and can be obtained by calling the Powerhouse box office at (845) 437-5599 or by visiting http://powerhouse.vassar.edu/boxoffice online. – Frances Marion Platt

of year – even when the offerings include more than just the Bard, as is becoming the norm from Boscobel to Vassar, from West Shokan’s New Genesis to Lenox and the wonderful Comeau Property hidden away at the heart of Woodstock. Opening its 19th season this Friday, July 25, the Woodstock Shakespeare Festival takes to its custombuilt gem of a stage for Shakespeare’s hilariously confusing but sweetly lyrical Twelfth Night, as performed by the host Bird-on-a-Cliff Theatre Company, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 5 p.m. through August 31. Folding chairs or blankets are suggested, and picnicking welcomed. Bug spray is optional, and $5 donations are very well-appreciated. Twelfth Night is all about the twins Viola and Sebastian, separated by shipwreck with the former disguised as a boy and loved by Countess Olivia, who is in turn loved by her brother…plus loads of twists. Call it classically Shakespearean in its all-for-the-stage elements of fun and final denouement. The cast consists of seasoned local actors. They make for a fun evening. – Paul Smart Bird-on-a-Cliff Theatre Company/Woodstock Shakespeare Festival’s Twelfth Night, Friday-Sunday through August 31, 5 p.m., Comeau Property, off Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 247-4007, www. birdonacliff.org.

Powerhouse Theater at Vassar stages musical version of A Walk on the Moon The Martel Theater at the Vogelstein Center for Drama and Film at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie will present performances of a musical version of A Walk on the Moon Friday, July 25 through Sunday, July 27. The storyline chronicles the summer of 1969 in a Catskill Mountains bungalow colony. While her husband spends each week working in the City, Pearl Kantrowitz finds herself drawn toward a free-spirited traveling salesman. Her personal crisis plays out against one of America’s most tumultuous summers, as astronauts walk on the Moon, the Vietnam War escalates and Woodstock takes place right down the road. Michael Greif, the award-winning director of Rent, Grey Gardens and Next to Normal, returns to the Powerhouse Theater with this story of awakening, adapted from Pamela Gray’s great 1999 film that featured Diane Lane, Viggo Mortensen and Lieb Shriver. Music and lyrics are by Paul Scott Goodman, the book and additional lyrics by Pamela Gray. For more information, call (845) 437-5599 or visit www.powerhouse.vassar.edu.

Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck stages Les Misérables Les Misérables is about as grand an epic as one can get onstage in a musical form. It has got high drama, major revolutionary history, romance and bitter ironies. It’s all about the intersections among regrets and redemption, passion and shattered dreams. It comes from a great novel by Victor Hugo, yet hooks into the diva days of the late 1980s, and it seems that the success of its first filmed musical version hurt its continuing success in repertory theater about as much as the musical hurt the book. In other words, it’s just as vital now as ever, and easily translated to local stages and talents like those at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, where Les Mis runs in a production directed and choreographed by Kevin Archambault with music direction by Matthew Woolever. Unlike the nearly-3,000-page novel, full of digressions about architecture and urban design, moral philosophy and the nature of law, justice, love and grace, the musical moves fast in similar epic manner,

and leaves one caring – by the end – for Marius, Cosette, Jean Valjean and so many others, including the very fate of all mankind. – Paul Smart Les Misérables, through August 17, Friday/Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday, 3 p.m., $27, Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, 661 Route 308; (845) 876-3080, http://centerforperformingarts.org.

HEALTHY HUDSON VALLEY

Healthy Communities

hen it comes to our health we all want to beat the odds. How can the health and fitness of the region’s residents be improved? Traditional educational methods attempt to persuade individuals to adopt personal lifestyle changes. In a hope to improve that outcome, local neighborhoods and communities are presenting initiatives to encourage residents to walk, skate or ride bikes. To encourage healthy eating there are local Farmer’s Markets to allow access to fresh produce and community gardens which are a wonderful way to teach children by participation. On-line resources post nutritional information of local eateries as well as educate residents on healthier food choices, portion sizes and how we as individuals need to become more responsible for our own health. This year’s edition of Healthy Communities will highlight the relationship between the health of the people of our local communities and unique assets of which they feel the most proud. This will be an adventure on which we hope you will join us.

ATHLETIC MALE AVAILABLE FOR nude photography projects. Seeks/prefers female photographer. Call Tom at (845)4626305. DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it.

Harry and Sally are eight week old black and white kittens. From the look of their fur, it is very likely that they will have long hair. Their foster mother thinks they rank among the sweetest and friendliest kittens she has ever fostered. They have had their wellness checkup, are up to date with vaccinations and are litter pan trained. Harry and Sally are very attached to one another and we are looking for a forever home that will love and care for both of them for the rest of their lives.

If you think you might have that home,

please call (917) 282-2018.

MORE FROM THE ULSTER COUNTY SPCA; These 5 cats are in special need of loving foster or adoptive homes. Please read to see why... MYSTERY; about 10-years old & total lap cat. She came to the shelter w/a rash over her whole body. Her skin is beautiful now but she’s still feeling the stress of not being in a home. She eats special food as we think she may have food allergies. She’s a petite polydactyl tuxedo so her extra toes can hug you even more! STARFISH; also petite. She has a beautiful gray coat and golden eyes. She’s been in the shelter for more than a year. She’s one of the cats rescued from a huge humane law seizure. Before she was rescued, Starfish was bullied by the larger cats in the hoarder’s house and suffered skin wounds that are improving but taking a

long time to heal. She’s about 2-3 years and we think a loving home (foster or adoptive) would give Starfish the peace she needs to fully recover. Such a sweet and friendly kitty. JAMIE; beautiful small gray tabby. He’s about 1-yr. old and been in the shelter for a few months. The shelter is trying different foods to see which ones will work for his delicate stomach. We hope that in a loving home he’ll experience calm and feel better. BELVEDERE has captured everyone’s heart. This 10-11 yr. old big white cat w/brown markings was left in a carrier on the side of the road. He must’ve been in the carrier for days because he suffered open sores on his legs as he lay in his own waste. But Belvedere has recovered and loves people. How he and the others trust another human being is truly remarkable. Please call the Ulster County SPCA (845)3315377 ext. 218 (Cat Supervisor) to find out more about these lovely cats. PROJECT CAT is a non-profit cat RESCUE AND SHELTER. Please help get cats off the streets and into homes. Adopt a healthy and friendly cat or kitten companion for a lifetime.
