Nantucket Ex-Cop Is Killer Comic by Sarah Teach Funnyman Tom Cotter will return to the island for the 7th annual Nantucket Comedy Festival. The former island police officer and runner-up on 2012’s America’s Got Talent (AGT) will entertain the masses with his rapid-fire stand-up on Friday, July 18, alongside the writers, producers and cast of NBC’s hit show Parks and Recreation. Many comics lean on the comfy divan of dirty humor, but Cotter can generate belly laughs with expletive-free chestnuts from his childhood. Displaying a self-deprecating style that renders him sympathetic and likeable, Cotter’s pacing affords maximum jokes in minimum time yet leaves no joke uncaught. From a near win on AGT to a real win in being married to the hilarious and gorgeous comedienne Kerri Louise, Cotter has spent the past two years surfing a wave of success that was over a quarter-century in the swelling. Although comedy doesn’t run in Cotter’s family, it somehow made its way into his blood. He says, “When you’re the youngest of six in an Irish Catholic family, you do anything you can to get attention, especially,” he adds wryly, “when it’s common knowledge that you were a mistake. So I’d act out frequently and I enjoyed the response I got.” When Cotter flew the coop, he nested at Denison University, where he spent four years with his beak in pre-law books. “I was on the way to lawyerville,” he affirms. “I clerked for a judge; I was a summer cop on Nantucket. But in the back of my mind, I knew I wanted to try comedy.” The son of a neurosurgeon, young Cotter grew up laden with the expectation that he’d take a traditional path to success. “I told my dad I would pursue law after the comedy got out of my system,” he says. “It just never did. It’s like a disease.” Twenty-five years of suffering from said disease produces fantastic continued on page 15

Retreat with Artists by Julianne Adams Nestled in a small enclave just outside of town at 8 Howard Street is a house called Greater Light. First serving as a livestock barn in the late 1700s, Greater Light transformed into an artistic hub in the 1930s thanks to two industrious sisters, Gertrude and Hanna Monaghan. The sisters, who were part of the burgeoning island art colony since 1923, purchased the barn in 1929 and quickly began heavy renovations, much to the fascination of neighbors. Gertrude and Hanna eschewed the typical Nantucket house design and retained the open-space, exposed wooden beam structure of the barn. Greater Light became a place for the sisters to display their eclectic style, which extends into the house, where gold columns and a gilded fireplace bounce off the white walls. Gertrude, an artist, and Hanna, an actor and author, extended their sensibility to the garden, which they overhauled into a lush space replete with furnishings and 12-foot wrought-iron gates. During the sisters’ tenure of the property, the garden hosted many gatherings of the artistic community. In the 1970s, the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) acquired the house and opened it as a museum. After years of visitors, the house underwent extensive renovations that were completed in 2011. Now Greater Light is back to its full glory, displaying the various odds and ends picked up by the inquisitive sisters. In an effort to continue the generative artistic legacy of the Monaghan sisters, the NHA is working with the Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) to hold The Plein-Air Art Retreats. Offered individually for $250, the Retreats are daylong workshops led by AAN guest artists at Greater Light. According to Marjan Shirzad, NHA Director of Visitor Experience, the “program follows in the footsteps of the Monaghan sisters, who created an art-filled summer retreat on Howard Street in the 1930s.” Barbara Capizzo (on July 17) and M.J. Levy Dickson (on July 24) will both guide participants in watercolor continued on page 12

Menemsha by Robert P. Barsanti Years ago, when I was younger and traveled around with my parents, brother, and sister in a Jeep Wagoneer with five bikes on it, we would spend a week or two on the Vineyard. We spent two weeks in a ten-man Coleman tent; we played bumper pool in the camp rec hall, went biking in the rain, and lost my brother each and every time in new and baffling ways. But it was a wonderful time, all in all. My mother made sure that we nailed certain expectations to the tree so that they couldn’t “accidentally” fall off and be forgotten. She wanted one breakfast at the Black Dog, a trip to Chappaquiddick, and a sunset in Menemsha. My father, for his part, also had his list of expectations, but they all involved food: donuts, a blueberry pie, and ice cream, primarily. Each year, “the sunset in Menemsha event” landed like an over-laden duck. We wouldn’t get moving soon enough and would arrive as the sun had just sunk below the horizon. Conversely, we would arrive in time for a heavy bank of clouds and fog to rise up and obscure everything but one ribbon of gold and purple. Then my sister fell off the lifeguard stand and sprained her ankle. One cool July evening, we arrived just as the clouds were blowing out. The sand remained wet and splattered, but the air warmed. The three kids were in sweatshirts and windbreakers still, though my younger brother bravely wore his swim trunks. We set off to explore the breakwater and the thousand ways to die presented by all of those rocks and all of those waves. Meanwhile, my father set up the hibachi in the lee of the wind, poured coals in, sprayed them with a heroic spurt of lighter fluid, and started a conflagration. No need to take out sandwiches, when you could have the real thing, seasoned with the salt air. My mother hitched her dreams to a setting star. She set out condiments, slices of cheese, potato salad, and pickles on the lid of the cooler. It was as good as it gets. Then the world returned to its balance. My father knocked the plate of cooked burgers into the sand, then inadvertently kicked some onto the rest. A seagull made a foray for the pickles on the cooler, and then voided himself when my mother went flying back. We were summoned from impending doom to wash the burgers in the ocean, and then eat them on cold rolls. My mother fed us, put everything away, cracked a beer, and told my father to shut up. The sun eased itself into the sea, spreading orange and red blankets across the horizon. Night spilled in from the east in clouds of gold and purple. We stayed until the channel markers lit up the west, the constellations punctuated the night, and my mother finished her second beer. According to my mother, joy is what comes just before the next tragedy. Or seagull. In her informed and wise Irish world view, the world brings us a constant, unending, and cruel series of heartaches and disappointments. Burgers will always be dropped into the sand, in one way or another. Once they are washed off and chaos is momentarily averted, joy can seep back into your life, like rain through a leaky tent roof. But you have to look for it and take it for what it is. My long departed mother dropped by during the evening of the Fifth of July, along with an intestinal bug and all of its explosive fireworks.

Gathering Steam by Suzanne Daub Gallery owner and collector Kathleen Knight has brought to Nantucket a exhibition of art that is surprising, engaging, provocative, and very unlike most seen on our island. Opening this week at The Gallery at Four India with a reception Friday evening, July 18, is “Pop Art, Upcycling, & Steampunk Art.” Steampunk concepts of creating meaningful connections between past, present, and future and of “blending old and new, art and science, form and function” are fitting for Nantucket, which has been repurposed and re-imagined many times over along its 300-year journey from whaling capital to tourist destination. The fantasy elements of Steampunk art give it a definite wow factor, and the interactive functionality makes it fun. Kathleen Knight explained her inspiration behind the show: “I’m an art collector at heart. When I walked into the Nantucket Hotel and saw the Steampunk whale, my mouth dropped...I loved it! The more I explored {Steampunk], the more I loved it. I wanted to share it with folks here on Nantucket—it’s the ultimate expression of creativity.” The Steampunk artist who created the whale Knight saw in the lobby of The Nantucket Hotel on Easton Street is Bruce Rosenbaum, and he is one Bruce Rosenbaum of the three artists featured in her exhibition. He’s been creating steampunk art since 2007, when “steampunk discovered me.” Rosenbaum and his wife, Melanie, bought a 1901 Victorian Craftsmen house in Sharon. In the process of restoring it, “we brought in antiques, and we decided to modernize them—to give them new life and new purpose. I wanted them to do something: to have function and not just be museum pieces...We redid our

I admit—I don’t drink a lot of beer. But there are those moments when any other beverage just doesn’t fit the bill. For instance, a friend of mine on island loves a beer after his 6-mile runs. Makes sense. When I lived in D.C. and ran through the streets of Georgetown with the running group Hash House Harriers, our unconventional mid mile stops were not for water, but rather beer. So, I understand my friend Peter’s desire to quench his post workout thirst with a cold one. Then there are certain foods that only beer teams up with perfectly. Like the hot dog. Last spring while we were preparing to open our wine shop with no time to cook and less time to eat, we often popped over to Lola Burger. Though the cheeseburgers are delicious, for me it was the wagyu beef hot dog that stole the show. And the only thing better than upgrading to the truffle fries is the beer that I washed it all down with. Perusing their beverage list my eyes stopped on an unfamiliar libation. Hell or High Watermelon? I had to ask. After a brief description it only made me want it more. Just to be sure I confirmed that it was on draft—typically the only way I drink it. Disappointingly the server told me it only came in a can. Now when I think of canned beer, memories of drinking “Natty Light” in an Indiana cornfield come to mind, so I hesitated, but agreed. Out came this flashy can illustrated with a cartooned Lady Liberty sitting on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. When did canned beer become so cool? Back in fashion and better for the environment, I learned many of our favorite suds are saying goodbye to the bottle and hello to the can. First officially debuted in Richmond, VA in 1935 by The Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company, canned beer has had a storied past. Its initial entry into the market didn’t come until after Prohibition ended. American Can (the company making the can) had to overcome two major obstacles before they could sell the idea to the big brewers. First, they had to make a can that could withcontinued on page 14

The Wholesome Lifestyle of Follain by Julianne Adams Tara Foley and her team are on a mission to revolutionize the beauty industry, and one of their first steps was setting up shop on Nantucket. In late May, Foley launched the second outpost of Follain, her burgeoning beauty store brand, on the edge of town. When you walk into that South Beach St. location, you feel a refreshing lift, provided by the clean lines and modern rustic styling of the sun-filled space. Then you see the vast array of products carefully spread before you and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not get excited because, as the delicate and unusual bottles quickly tell you, this is no ordinary beauty store. It is a healthy beauty store, concerned about your internal wellbeing as much as your external appearance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a movement that, though new to the island this year in a fully-fledged form, Foley has developed over five years. Follain, which translates to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;healthy, wholesome, and soundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Gaelic, was the outgrowth of Foleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in her own personal wellbeing. While working at a New York City law firm in 2009, Foley found herself becoming more and more devoted to a healthier lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was practicing yoga everyday, I was really concerned about the food that I was consuming, I was racing in triathlons,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really focused on my health and wellness.â&#x20AC;? Naturally, she became curious about what she was putting on her body as well as in it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people were buzzing about the nasty chemicals in skincare products. So I did a lot of research on my own,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found out a lot of scary things.â&#x20AC;? Namely, Foley realized how little the US regulates the beauty industry in comparison to the European Union. While the US impedes on the use of roughly 10 ingredients in cosmetics, the EU bans over 1300. Statistics like this shocked Foley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became very angry and fed up,â&#x20AC;? she says,â&#x20AC;? and starting reading labels, finding more and more information.â&#x20AC;? With this new passion for wholesome beauty products, Foley set up a blog to write continued on page 31

I have a picture of myself with some high school friends arm-in-arm standing in the middle of a field facing the camera. The image always solicits an obvious “oldie but goody” joke, typical nostalgia for a displaced Okie. But before I get too far down memory lane, I have breaking news: I hope you are sitting down. I have become the president of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (www.obfs.org/) for the next two years. Essentially this means that my colleagues who run field stations all over the globe decided it was time for me to get off my duff and contribute to the organization. Well, that’s not entirely true, I had been the Secretary for three years, but we all do take turns running this voluntary organization, holding annual meetings to exchange advice and plan regionally and nationally how to best work together while assisting our members across the globe. It a big honor and I am excited to be leading this group for the next two years. My first job, and the job of all field station and marine lab directors, is to explain what a field station is. It is, essentially, a place in which students and researchers can learn and conduct experiments in a location away from their home university or institute. In effect we act as base stations providing lab space, classroom space, and a place to cook dinner or lay one’s head while examining the natural world. I have used the term “like Nasa space stations for Earth” with one friend to explain what we do, which isn’t all that different from base camps for mountain climbing. Field stations host scientists who set up experiments to determine if flowers are blooming earlier, how endangered species populations might recover if managed or protected or how agricultural fields change over time.

by Sarah Teach We denizens of the 21st century are not the first mortals to mutter, “darn kids,” as we shake our heads at the agenda à la mode then stuff them back into the cage of our conventions. Every mutterer should mind that he or she too once took a turn at shattering the time-honored. So who, at a WASP-y wedding, decides which traditions get borrowed, and who ends up feeling blue when in lieu of old customs, the couple wants new? That is the question visited by A. R. Gurney’s 2011 play Black Tie, which is currently being presented by Theatre Workshop of Nantucket. After Black Tie was gently denied by several Broadway companies, it was snatched by the Off-Broadway 59E59 Theaters, which ended up producing a sold out, extended run of the little gem. Gurney, one of America’s most prolific playwrights, wrote on argurney.com, “At the age of 80, I feel personally fortunate to have come up with what one might call a hit play, even if it is only playing in a smallish theatre for a relatively short time.” Critics’ lack of affection for the show hasn’t stopped it from spreading to select theaters around the Northeast; and posh Nantucket has proven itself to be the perfect milieu for this play. Since the beginning of Gurney’s career, his most highly acclaimed stories have revolved around upper-middle class New Englanders. Fritz Michel, director of the TWN production, says, “I thought this play would feel natural in the preppy stronghold that is Nantucket. There are 10 or 12 ‘bridal dinners’ happening here on any given Friday night. Imagine how many fathers are on the island right now doing the exact same thing as our main character, Curtis: writing speeches for their children’s imminent wedding celebrations.” Gurney may be a comedy writer, but he doesn’t dilute drama with drollery. His stories are always continued on page 62

painting. Joining the artists are NHA interpretive staff members, who will color the event with informative historical background. As Liz Hunt O’Brien, AAN Public Programs Director, said, "Bringing these two Nantucket nonprofits together for this one-day plein-air workshop in the gorgeous garden of Greater Light along with the talent of AAN instructors is a wonderful blend of what each association has to offer.” The series will take place in the bucolic Greater Light garden, where Nantucket artists of yesteryear came together. “The Monaghan sisters drew creative inspiration from their garden and it’s easy to see why,” said Shirzad. The artistic retreat will step inside the Greater Light home for an insider tour. The events, which run from 10 am to 3 pm, includes a picnic lunch. The NHA & AAN partnership continues throughout the summer at the Whaling Museum, where Nantucket Cottage Style is currently running. In a news release, William Tramposch, NHA Gosnell Executive Director said, “[W]e are delighted to be working with the Artists Association of Nantucket on this important exhibition, which will shed so much light on the origins of what is known as the Nantucket Cottage Style.” The exhibit draws from the estates of Andrew Oates and William Euler, two collectors who were heavily involved in the island art scene of the 1960s. In addition to aiding the renovation of the Jared Coffin House and establishing Nantucket Looms, Oates and Euler were avid local art collectors. Their distinctive taste, which could be found in their home, business, and local homes, was later referred to as Nantucket Cottage Style. The exhibit pulls together a wide variety of the pieces the pair amassed, which extends to furniture, paintings, weaving looms, ceramics, and more. Full of antiques, the Nantucket Cottage Style exhibit pays tribute to local history as well as art. As Robert Frazier, AAN Curator of Exhibitions, said on the exhibit, “Nantucket Cottage Style is certainly a celebration of the life and style of a memorable pair of men, but it is also a time machine, a window on an era whose spirit continues to thrive.” Like the Plein-Air Art Retreat, Nantucket Cottage Style lets island-goers step into the lives of Nantucket artists.

Gathering Steam

Kelley has shown his Steampunk art at a variety of venues throughout the Northeast and has worked alongside Rosenbaum and with ModVic to produce the city-wide exhibit “Steampunk Springfield: Re-imagining an Industrial City.” Kelley works primarily in acrylic and molotow paint markers. He has six new works in “Pop Art, Upcycling, and Steampunk Art,” including several he created specifically for Nantucket, including a Steampunked Maria Mitchell and a Steampunk homage to the Nantucket Whaling Museum (see cover image). Kelley describes Steampunk as “a romance of the past when technology was new and inspired wonder...I like looing at our past and exploring what could have been.” Re-purposing and re-imagining is key to the work of renowned artist Thomas Deininger, but in not in a way that is Steampunk. His work is three-dimensional and complex: Deininger transforms of layers of upcycled material of all kinds into stunning pop art and landscapes. Knight explains the juxtaposition of Rosenbaum and Kelley with Deininger: they are each “a breath of fresh air, creative, moving forward...They all create something new, something exciting — that’s what art collecting is about.” The opening reception from 6-9 pm on Friday evening at The Gallery at Four India is just the beginning of the fun. The first 60 guests at that reception will be invited to the after-party from 9:30pm to midnight with steampunk and pop dress appreciated.

kitchen, our family room, our office...People came through the house and said you’re so Steampunk, and we said ‘what?’... It sounded weird and wonderful.” Bruce and Melanie continued their home restoration, and they began to get a better understanding of the steampunk movement in design and in art. Rosenbaum describs Steampunk Art as an integration of history, art, and technology, with a sense of fantasy to tie it together. “It’s a sort of ‘what if’ — what if there had been modern technology during the Victorian Age...it’s about fusing the two periods.” “Our house was profiled, and we became The Steampunk House... it went viral and set us on this path. I started working with museums and in gallery spaces... I found my passion.” In addition to sculpture, Rosenbaum has been exploring a variety of avenues. His company ModVic specializes in Steampunk design. He’s created several healing devices and has recently finished a workshop program with Professor Ashleigh Hillier at UMass Lowell called “Steampunkinetics: Building Art into Science” that is designed for youth on the autism spectrum. Steampunk aficionadas and reviewers have taken to calling Bruce Rosenbaum an artist, renovator, exhibitor, designer, and curator in the Steampunk community. “I’ve also been called a Steampunk Guru, Evangelist of Steampunk, and even a High Priest of Steampunk,’” Rosenbaum added with a smile. “My mother was my biggest supporter and cheerleader—when I told her this, she asked ‘why doesn’t anyone call you the Steampunk Rabbi?’” Exhibiting alongside Bruce Rosenbaum at Gallery at Four India is Steampunk illustrator and artist Brett Kelley.

stand the pressure of beer, and second, they had to find a material to line the inside of the can so it wouldn’t react with its contents. A trial run with Pabst proved positive, but the company still wasn’t sold on the idea and wouldn’t commit until tested in a real market. Enter Krueger’s. A small brewery based in Newark, New Jersey, Krueger’s business suffered during Prohibition. To make the “can idea” appealing to them, American Can offered to foot the bill for the canning line and the first test run. Just 2,000 initial cans were produced and dropped at homes around Richmond, VA with a questionnaire on quality. The response was overwhelming. Kreuger went full speed ahead and the beer can was born. But back to that cornfield in Indiana—historically when we think of canned beer we think of beers from bigger breweries like Anheuser Busch and Heineken. And truthfully, many of us think of those beers as being lesser quality. So when did the little guys, the craft breweries get into the game and why? According to the ‘Cantastic Database,’ there are 410 craft breweries and over 1,450 craft canned beers now on the market. And the argument for ‘canning it’ is growing. On the scientific side, cans protect beer from light and oxygen, both of which can destroy a beer’s freshness. Bottled beers exposed to too much light can become ‘skunky’ and undrinkable. The same goes for oxygen. If even a little seeps under the bottle cap, your beers been compromised. But for practical reasons how does the can stack up next to its bottled counterpart? On Nantucket the can is a natural. Toss a six-pack into your bag and head to the beach. With a six-pack of cans, you’ve lightened the load. And once you’re there, a can’s time in the cooler is less due to its ability to chill faster. For those of you pouring poolside, the “No Glass Allowed” sign is a simple reminder of why the can is king. Heading off to Madaket? With a recycling regiment as serious as we have on island, the environmental angle has its advantages too. An aluminum can is very easy to recycle and can be melted down over and over again, never losing its quality. Even the island’s own Cisco Brewers is now offering in cans their classics: Whales’ Tale Pale Ale, IPA, Sankaty Light, and Summer. So what summer suds should you be sipping? Uinta Brewing Company based in Utah makes a refreshing IPA in cans called Hop Nosh. Dressed in an eye-catching yellow six-pack box, it’s loaded with hops and has bold flavors of citrus and malt. Oskar Blues ‘Dale’s Pale Ale’ was a trailblazer when it comes to the can. Launching its canning operations in 2002, it was the first craft-canned mountain ale. A flavorful beer crafted with substantial amounts of European malts and four kinds of American hops, there’s a lot to love in these 12 ounces. And 21st Amendment Brewery, who kicked off the craft can craze for me, makes a session ale (a low alcohol beer) called Bitter American. Without sacrificing flavor this is a beer you can take to the beach and drink all day long. But they really nailed it with their wheat beer Hell or High Watermelon. Light, refreshing, with a whisper of watermelon flavor, they canned a little bit of summer. There’s something throw-back about the can, something special when you crack open that top, hear the gentle release, and take that first, thirst quenching sip.

symptoms, one of which is an enlarged comedy repertoire. Cotter had killed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Last Comic Standing, but he never imagined he would make it the final phase of the world’s biggest talent contest. Just before his New York audition for America’s Got Talent, he told the camera, “Comedians don’t generally do that well in this competition.” But judges Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel, and Howard Stern loved Cotter from the moment they heard his comedic engine rev. Stern in particular was very taken with Cotter, and brought the comic on his radio show after the close of the AGT season. “Howard Stern made my career,” says Cotter. “I owe a lot to him. The judges all kind of picked their favorites, and I was his.” On the radio, Stern said Cotter should have won the competition. Instead of bitterly agreeing, Cotter displayed solid sportsmanship and an eagerness to move on to his Tom Cotter PHOTO COURTESY IAN KIRBY next adventure in comedy. “Before AGT,” says Cotter, “my retirement plan was a metal detector and a beach. I definitely stepped in some unicorn crap that year.” continued on page 16

There must also have been some unicorns prancing around when Cotter met his wife, comedienne Kerri Louise. “I married a comic,” he says, “because who needs health insurance? Right after we had our twins, Kerri and I had a show called Two Funny on the Women’s Entertainment Network. It was literally brought to you by Tampax. It was the most emasculating thing I’ve ever done in my life. But I just love what I do. Kerri loves what she does. Our kids love what we do, now that they’re old enough to understand our jobs. Before, they thought we were rodeo clowns. I’ve had several great jobs, but being paid to make people laugh is a very blessed way to make a living. There are gigs where I get off the stage and think I should be the one paying the audience. I get to express my inner ham, and the laughs provide instant gratification.” As much as Cotter loves comedy, he allows that being a cop on Nantucket was the second best job of his life. He says, “I was there in the days when Billy Joel was married to Christie Brinkley, and they signed in at the White Elephant as Mr. and Mrs. Rocky and Sandy Shore. That was a great time in Nantucket history because the girl-to-guy ratio was arranged such that even a short, ugly guy like me got some attention. Foolishly, the police department gave me a cruiser. They didn’t give me a gun, but I did get pepper spray and handcuffs. My midnight to 8 a.m. shift consisted mostly of reporting bar fights and dead rabbits in the middle of the road. Also, I got to tell the people at the nude beach to put their clothes back on.” He continues, “When I first started, I thought it was so cool that they gave me a police car. Of course, I wanted to take a picture in it to show everybody back at college. So I’m driving around Madaket and I pull off on abandoned dirt road. I get out of the car, grab my dinky throwaway camera, and hop in the backseat so I can snap a photo from behind the divider. But when I shut the back door, I heard the click of the doors locking. And if you know what the back of a cop car looks like, you know there are no door handles. So I’m stuck in my cruiser and it’s running. After about three hours, I am being radioed but the radio is in the front. Finally, somebody drives by and it happens to be a friend of mine. However, instead of helping me, he gets in the front seat and starts doing donuts and spouting gibberish into the radio. He eventually got out and unlocked the doors before making a rapid getaway.” It is fortunate for the citizens of Nantucket that Cotter eschewed law enforcement in favor of comedy. After all, we know the world needs good cops, and also good plumbers, doctors and farmers. But why do we need continued on page 17

comics? Cotter says, “You know that old cliché, laughter is the best medicine? There’s scientific proof that laughter really does heal. It releases endorphins. It’s great for your respiratory system and your abdominal muscles. And if you don’t have laughter in your life, life isn’t worth living. The best compliments I ever get are when people say things like, ‘I have been going through a terrible time. I haven’t been out of the house, but you made me laugh for the first time in four months.’” Cotter’s wife Kerri Louise weighs in: “Comedy has helped in my marriage and in having three kids. This world is very, very hard. And if I didn’t have humor, I don’t think I could get through a day. My kids are funny; they make me laugh. My husband obviously makes me laugh. Don’t get me wrong; I do hate my husband as much as any other woman hates hers. But when you’re dealing with an issue in your marriage, humor can get the point across without having to be a jerk about it. Also, people pull together through comedy. Any time there is a huge tragedy in the world, comics get called on for fundraisers.” Cotter adds, “Comedians as a whole are a depraved people, but we do have hearts. We can’t give a lot of money because we don’t have it, but we can perform for good causes, like the Nantucket Comedy Festival.” The Nantucket Comedy Festival benefits the nonprofit educational program Stand Up and Learn, which teaches kids self-confidence through comedy. Cotter says, “I do a million festivals, but I have to say the people of Nantucket have embraced supporting the arts more than any other community I’ve visited. Someone is always donating their house or hosting a cocktail party for the festival. They could throw their money at a lot of different things, but they choose to give it to the arts.” Cotter will be performing in the Nantucket Comedy Festival’s Parks and Recreation Night on Friday, July 18 at 7 p.m. in the Dreamland Main Theater. Tickets are $95 at nantucketcomedyfestival.org. As of press time, tickets are also still available (but selling fast) to the Women’s Night on Thursday, July 17 and to the Comedy SmACKdown hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzenzinski on Saturday, July 19. This year’s Comedy Festival also includes two new morning events: Women, Coffee, and Comedy on Friday morning in The Dreamland and Comedy Writers Room on Saturday morning in The Rose & Crown. Tickets for all Comedy Fest events are available online at nantucketcomedyfestival.org.

Eye on Style

In my opinion, the most picturesque place to shop on the island is Old South Wharf. I feel like I am transported to another world, away from the traffic and commotion of the heart of town. The white shell pedestrian path is lined with colorful blossoms, welcoming benches, and dogs lazily snoozing in the shade. Shop and gallery owners prop their doors open, lending to a very approachable and convivial atmosphere. Just a short stroll down Old South Wharf, on your left, you will come to the first of the two Peter England locations. Here you will find classically elegant looks for both men and women, in luxuriously cozy knits and breezy button downs. Navy, red, and white dominate the color scheme, and stripes abound, so you will fit right in strolling on Nantucket’s docks...

whether you own a yacht, or not! They also carry knit pillows and soft throws that would make a lovely addition to any Nantucket home. A little further down Old South Wharf, also on the left, you’ll find the second location of Peter England. This store caters to women, and the style here is more feminine and frilly. The pieces come from the influence of designer and owner Kari England, and include skirts, flowing dresses, pullover sweaters, cardigans, and shirts in an array of colors. The feel here is of casual comfort while still looking put together and stylish, perfect for island living. Peter England is celebrating its 40th year on Nantucket, providing their clientele with quality products made in the USA. Their knits are all hand loomed using fine yarns, Irish linen, and organic cotton. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, happy to assist you in finding the perfect outfit. They are located at #3 and #11 Old South Wharf and are open daily in season.

Jewel of the Isle

from page 6

Handcrafted jewelry by Gary and Kelli Trainor

inside of me had built to a crescendo and a Grand Finale, but nobody can be certain when the Grand Finale has hit its last explosive charge. Every twinge could slip out the wrong way. Nonetheless, the youngest son had been invited to view the fireworks at the Field Station, along with his fellow Junior Rangers and selected parents. We arrived primed for a memorable evening; no bug spray, no sweatshirts, and cooling fried seafood. Having learned one lesson from my father, I did not spill our dinner onto the beach. On the other hand, I tried to tuck the fried clams into the darkened closets of my stomach where the bug wouldn’t find and expel them easily. He went searching and banging, but did not find the cold, oily, and rubbery clams. Then as the west wind kicked up and the temperature dipped, I wrapped myself in a testosterone blanket. Finally, up on the bluff as the fireworks began, so did the mosquitoes. Shivering, slapping, and stepping on ducks is no way to go through a fireworks display. And yet it was. The sun settled onto an empty horizon, squished itself, then slipped away in ever deepening shades of crimson. As the sky slowly purpled, the fireworks went off in Edgartown. We saw them and assumed a plutocrat had decided to avoid the crowds and just stage his own. But, as they continued, we knew that they were too far away for Nantucket and too ornate for all but the most committed Hedge funder. Then the fireworks went off in Oak Bluffs, then in Falmouth, and finally on Nantucket. Out at the Field Station, the sparkles and explosions did not extend that far into the air, but they were impressive nonetheless. After each explosion, a ghost of smoke walked like a pilgrim to the east. By the Grand Finale, a long parade of puffs stretched from Jetties to Great Point. As good as it gets. I left the bluff in a crabbed half jog and made it to the ancient ports-potty by the garage before the clams escaped. We turned the heat up, sprayed something cool on our bug bites, and made it home safely. We may never witness an evening like this one, with a sunset and fireworks on one of the most beautiful and natural spots on island. To expect better is to expect too much. Joy comes when we least expect it and when we least deserve it. But it always comes.

these essays to describe how long term field research has helped scientists understand what is occurring across ecosystems and landscapes. There are field stations all over the globe, in the jungles of Costa Rica and Puerto Rico to the savannas of Africa the glaciers of Canada and near critical coral reefs habitats in the Pacific. You can see if one is near you by checking out our member station map at www.obfs.org/station-map. Many biologists, oceanographers, and ecologists have been inspired by conducting research in one of these field stations. Each year students come to the Nantucket Field Station and walk away with a much better understanding of what field research is like (wet, buggy, and fun) and what it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like (hours upon hours spent inside a classroom). Here at the Nantucket Field Station, which is supported and run by the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB) and located on land owned and protected by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, we divide our time and resources into educational, research, and outreach missions. That means on a typical day like today, we have a general education college level Biology class running (Coastal Ecology) as well as a junior ranger program for kids from 9-13 to learn about nature and do science. A public nature walk will occur rain or shine at 10 am led by Education Coordinator Len Germinara with assistance from the junior rangers. Two research groups are here for much of the summer; one is working on tick borne diseases from the University of Massachusetts and the second group is comprised of UMB archeologists continuing a survey on the area near the African Meeting House and Florence Higgenbotham home. Many field stations benefit from partnerships that include the National Park system, state parks, conservation land, community colleges, universities, arboretums and museums, and tribal entities. From the OBFS web site we learn that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Biological field stations provide living libraries and outdoor laboratories for students, researchers, and the general public interested in the environment. They vary greatly in form and purpose, and include both marine laboratories whose focus is offshore, as well as terrestrial reserves continued on page 25

dedicated to protecting key ecosystems. Field stations vary in size from a few urban acres to thousands of acres spread across a remote landscape. Station facilities might range from trail networks to state-of-the-art laboratories. Whatever form individual field stations may take, they all share the same commitment to advancing our understanding of the Earth by supporting research, teaching, and public education. Research stations provide an invaluable service to local communities and the country by providing unbiased scientific information and facilities to help governmental and other stakeholders tackle critical environmental issues. Field station staff and researchers often play a critical role in ensuring that environmental considerations are factored into local and regional planning and development decisions.â&#x20AC;? Fortunately, most field stations and marine labs make it possible for scientists, students and the public to interact transparently in a way that give people a sense of ownership not only of the data and the process, but also of the planet. I found this description of field stations from the National Academy of Science website (below) to be clear and succinct: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Field stations and marine labs connect scientists, educators, and communities to their environments by bringing the basic tools of science out into the field. These living laboratories place scientists on the front lines of our changing Earth.â&#x20AC;? I hope you get a chance to visit the field station here on Nantucket or one of the many beautiful and exciting ones scattered across the globe. If you would like to learn more, I am hosting a special event to introduce our organization to Nantucketers on July 22 at the Nantucket Hotel. Send me an email if you are interested in attending: sarah.oktay@umb.edu.

about her discoveries. This sideline hobby, which “was getting a few hundred views on each post,” was about to become her main focus. “I was working on it every day after work,” she explains. “Then I decided to write a post listing all the stores in New York City that sold only healthy stuff. I aggregated all of them. Home stores, grocery stores, random markets.” An important insight on the part of Foley was how few places devoted to these products existed. “Not only did I realize from writing that post that there were no beauty stores that sold only healthy stuff, but also that post got 6,000 hits, which, for my little blog, was like going viral.” At that moment, Foley saw a major gap in retail and an opportunity for herself. “I was like, okay, somebody needs to make a change. People aren’t going to buy healthy beauty products until there’s a store for it. People don’t buy their toilet paper, or food at the same place they buy their lipstick,” she says. “So I decided to make the first healthy beauty store.” Foley threw herself head first into her project. In 2011, She quit her job in New York and immediately went to work on a lavender farm in Provence. Explaining the unexpected experience, she says the farm-to-table movement inspired her. “I took a cue from my friends in the food industry who went to work on food farms,” she says, “and thought that this isn’t that different—it’s like seed-to-skin.” For the next few months, Foley saw a product born from its literal roots. “I learned a lot there... from growing the lavender all the way through to pressing the oils. Then I went to work for a skincare manufacturer up in Maine to see how the products were made.” The two apprenticeships, as she calls them, lasted four months each and provided invaluable insight into the beauty field. At the family run farm, she says, “I saw how an ingredient comes to life, and I feel like that’s a very rare experience. I nurtured a whole field of lavender plants by weeding them, watering them. Then I was there for the harvest and we took them into a huge still and distilled the oils. It was really an incredible experience that makes me love our products that much more.” At the private skincare label, Foley worked mainly from their Maine headquarters. From viewing the bottling process to helping clients develop a specific scent, continued on page 32

Lifestyle of Follain from page 31

Foley “was involved in everything,” she says. “It was building my product knowledge.” From there, Foley developed her business expertise by getting her MBA at Babson, an education that set in some of the realities of running a small business. “It dawned on me how expensive it was going to be and that maybe I didn’t have the knowledge.” Foley, though, continued to refine her idea and applied to a small retail business competition in early 2013. Competing against teams from Babson, Harvard and MIT, Foley won the regional round. Then she won the entire competition. “It was like the universe telling me to do this.” So she did. After graduating in May of last year, she opened Follain in Boston’s South End. “The first year was unbelievably good,” says Foley. “People have wanted this stuff for so long.” Boston, though, does not offer much byway of a summer shopping season. “I knew we needed to do something this summer and go to more of a summer location.” Foley visited around and quickly settled on Nantucket. “Nantucket was the very obvious choice,” she says. Her first scouting was in January—not exactly the best time of the year, “but I still fell in love with it,” says Foley. The feeling seems to be mutual. “The island has been so amazing to us in so many ways.” Ashley Hecker, who grew up coming to the island and is Follain’s Director of Store Development, notes, “The year-round community has been so supportive.” “We came out here,” continues Foley, “and immediately started to try and meet as many people as possible in the health and wellness space,” she says. “Quite frankly, when we opened the store, the whole community came into it. They came to us because we’re the last piece of the pie. If you’re drinking green juice and you’re going to a spinning class or whatever, why would you put toxic chemicals all over your skin?” Each product that Follain sells goes through a rigorous testing process. Foley says, “We have a very stringent ingredient safety standard for what can’t be in the product,” says Foley. Follain’s Director of Health and Safety, Holly Moore, is in charge of sanctioning all products, in addition to writing health and continued on page 33

safety code. The list of what a product can’t contain is long—toxic emulsifiers and chemicals of all sorts are banned, including sulfates and parabens. Once products pass the ingredients test, the team tests the product’s effectiveness. Foley had gained a lot of knowledge on healthy brands while blogging, but still tested over 200 brands when it came time to put them on the shelf. 30 brands made the cut. All 30 brands are from the US; seven are based in New England. Foley points out, “We don’t carry a full portfolio of a brand, we carry what they’re best at making”—yet another choice that sets Follain apart from many beauty stores.

The end result of all this research and testing is a product that works for your body and skin. “It’s healthy but still high-performing,” says Foley, “which makes it different than the products you can buy at farmer’s stands and grocery stores. Most of our products are only in spas, otherwise. You’re not going to get an antiaging serum at a farmer’s market.” Follain’s anti-aging serums, like all of its products, are of the highest quality. “They contain extremely active rare ingredients,” says Foley. “If you look at a conventional brand and read the ingredients there are probably only 1 or 2 actives and its all chemical filler.” Those conventional brands are appealing—at first. “The chemical products, they’re very strong and they’re going to make a difference very quickly in your skin. They work really well but your skin acclimates to it and after 5-10 years continued on page 34

your skin doesn’t respond to those chemicals anymore and you have to use stronger chemicals, stronger chemicals, and you’re putting the most ridiculous stuff on your skin because nothing works anymore. That’s a really bad, scary spiral.” Instead, Follain follows the tried and true path of wholesome ingredients. “They’re ingredients that our body knows how to digest,” says Foley. “Cleopatra had milk baths because of the lactic acid. We have milk baths. These are things that people have been using since the beginning of time to strengthen their skin that actually work.” Gender has little to no import in what goes on with the skin. While Follain has products specifically for men’s shaving, Foley says, “We’ll never have specific men’s skincare items. Men use all of our face products. What makes a men’s product is usually fragrance and packaging.” Fragrance is something that Follain is vehemently against. “There’s no fragrance in any of our products because fragrance is one of the most toxic ingredients you can put in products. It’s packed with phthalates, and it’s basically the least regulated out of everything. None of our products contain any fragrance. “ When describing Follain’s products and mission, Foley is careful not to say ‘organic’ or ‘natural’—two words that the beauty industry, among others, have co-opted in an effort to make sales. Instead, Follain promotes exactly what it means: “We always say that we’re healthy and wholesome. In the US, there’s almost no regulation of when you can say you’re natural,” she explains. “People come in and they’re like, “Is this all organic?” and what we say is, “This is better than organic.”” Many people, Foley admits, are often hesitant about branching into Follain’s realm. “It’s a very big change. The interaction with products is completely different. Our cleansers for the body, the face, the hair—they don’t suds up as much as people are used to with conventional products because there are no sulfates, a horrible toxic chemical.” At the end of the day, “You’re protecting yourself,” as Foley says, when investing in wholesome products. When asked where a new customer should start, Foley suggests deodorant, which conventional brands normally pack with aluminum zirconium, an ingrecontinued on page 47

Lifestyle of Follain from page 34

dient Foley describes as “incredibly toxic.” Healthy deodorants, though, have gotten a bit of a bad rep. Many people have used ‘natural’ versions that, as Foley says, “make you smell worse, or just cover the scent or make you sweat more.” In the end, Follain tested 32 products before finding the perfect one. Another quick switch is Follain’s liquid soap program, which was developed out of a dual passion for environmental and personal health. “The fastest moving product in the entire beauty industry is liquid hand and body soap. If you think about how much you use liquid soap a day: you use it in the shower, you use it whenever you use a bathroom. Because of that there’s over 2 million pounds of plastic soap bottles thrown away in the US every year. We felt really passionate about making a dent in that.” So Follain sources simple liquid soaps from manufacturers in Quincy, Massachusetts and Middlebury, Vermont. The soaps are olive oil based, with essential oils for scents and coconut oil. The soaps are sold in Follain containers that are refillable for a third or less of the original price. Delightfully fragrant, the soaps work for hand and body. Customers can try out the soaps in the store at Follain’s test sink, which plays into Follain’s emphasis on customer experience. One of the other major parts of being a Follain client is education. “People should come in to learn,” says Foley. “It goes without saying that people have heard all the buzz about what's healthy and not healthy in products. People can feel free to come in and ask questions.” A great opportunity for customers to explore the healthy lifestyle is the monthly event Follain holds with Authentic Body and 02554 Juice (the next one being Wednesday, July 23). Nutrition, fitness, and skincare focused, the events are packed with information on getting and staying healthy. Follain plans to host more frequent gatherings, too, like a trunk show with neighbor Serenella. “We decided, once people started coming in, that we wanted to hold events to bring together the health and wellness community and people on the island who are interested in health and wellness.” These integrative events help Follain fulfill part of its credo: “We are here to complement your healthy lifestyle, your beautiful self.” With its wholesome 360 approach and vast array of products for people of all ages, Follain is poised to take on the beauty industry.

Featured Restaurant: Breeze Bar & Café

Elegant, Whimsical, Refined, & Fun From the formal and friendly doormen to the Steampunk whale that moves and winks above the reception desk, The Nantucket Hotel & Resort is an intriguing mix of elegance and whimsy, refinement and fun. This addition to the island’s luxury hotels is all about making sure their guests are have a good time, and that extends to the resort’s restaurant, the Breeze Bar & Café. The Breeze is just a few steps into the lobby of The Nantucket. Their intimate indoor lounge and bar area is cozy and comfortable: the perfect spot to relax with a cocktail. During these warm summer evenings, guests can also enjoy their cocktails on the poolside patio, furnished with plush chairs and couches, cafe tables with market umbrellas, and fire pits. Every evening there is a special activity for guests at Breeze: some nights feature cabaret entertainment Bartlett Farm Tomatoes by Bob & Diane Lehman or other live music. Dance classes before or after dinner with Andrey Stanev (Bulgarian National Dance Champion) are offered Mondays and Thursdays through mid-August. And families adore the Kids’ Deck, which offers supervised activities for children while parents enjoy a bit of alone time at Breeze. Summer dinners at Breeze are served on their sheltered deck, where guests can enjoy their meals under romantic “twinkle lights.” Executive Chef Steven Haverson describes Breeze Bar & Café as “an American bistro... family friendly and serving relaxed comfort food.” Haverson brings to Breeze years of culinary experience at private clubs in four different states, and while he identifies soups and sauces as his favorite foods to prepare, his talents in many other areas shine through. Haverson’s menus at Breeze feature classic Brazilian Baby Back Ribs

dishes with international accents and plenty of local produce and seafood. As we perused the summer dinner menu on our recent evening at Breeze, our attentive waiter, Wayne, brought us a basket of crunchy lavash chips and a distractingly delicious roasted garlic and white bean dip. Appetizers are a good mix of hot and cold: soups, salads, fingerfoods, and elegant starters. Each of our choices, even the classic dishes, had an element or two Chef Haverson added to made it all his own. Bartlett Farm Tomatoes are showcased in Haverson’s version of a caprese salad. Thick slices of Tuna Tartare juicy red tomato are alternated with creamy white fresh mozzarella and adorned with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of fruity olive oil. Green olives add a tasty pucker, and a dish of flaked sea salt is served alongside so that you can add as much or as little as you like. (Suggested pairing: Sonoma Cutrer 2012 Russian River Chardonnay) Chef Haverson’s Tuna Tartare is another stellar summer starter. We’ve never had it quite like this before: chunks of fresh tuna tossed in a light ponzu are topped with chunks of creamy avocado which are topped with a final layer of diced fresh tomato. Crisp beet and potato chips ring the tartare. The pure flavors shine through in this nicely balanced dish that is as delicious as it is colorful. (Suggested pairing: 2012 Chateau Routas Rose –France) Crispy Lobster Spring Rolls are one of the chef’s favorites. These housemade treats are filled with chunks of lobster meat, crisp kernels of sweet corn, and sliced mushrooms. They’re served with a pineapple sweet chili Crispy Lobster Spring Rolls sauce, and bits of dried pineapple and mango finish the dish with sweet pops of flavor. (Suggested pairing: Sonoma Cutrer 2012 Russian River Chardonnay) The Brazilian Baby Back Ribs also have a spot in the heart of the chef,

who told us the recipe was inspired by his financé. This meaty and spicy appetizer is dry-rubbed and slow-roasted, and they taste of a summer barbecue with international flair. If you like your ribs a bit more highly spiced, a dish of salty seasoning is supplied so that you can sprinkle as you like. A grilled and caramelized banana is sliced and fanned out across the plate, and we like this best Boardwalk Shrimp eating a slice of the sweet banana with a bite of the baby back rib. (Suggested pairing: Cisco Whales Tail Pale Ale) In between courses, Wayne brought us a basket of warm mini gruyere popovers, so fresh out of the oven that a puff of steam escaped when we pulled them apart. Chef Haverson makes good use the local summer harvest at Breeze Bar & Café, both from the land and from the sea. The Pan-Seared Halibut is served simply with sea salt, pepper, and a trace of olive oil over fresh spinach. Shiitake mushroom caps are nestled in on either side, as are cool slices of juicy Bartlett Farm tomato and sliced heirloom cherry tomatoes. It’s a seaside picnic on a plate. (Suggested pairing: La Porte “La Petite Duc” 2012 Sauvignon Blanc – Sancere France) The Boardwalk Shrimp is another “summer picnic” entree—shoestring fries hot, salty, and perfectly crisp are surrounded by shrimp that are marinated in garlic and herbs, then butterflied, breaded with panko, and fried. It’s an

upscale alfresco feast, complete with coleslaw and a tasty housemade tartar sauce. (Suggested pairing: Cisco Whales Tail Pale Ale) The chef recommended that we try his Burgundy Braised Short Ribs and we’re so very glad we did! This is a meal of fabulous flavors: the short ribs are braised for six hours till they are Lobster and Fresh Corn Risotto fork tender and doused in a luxurious dark sauce with mushroom caps and accented with sundried tomatoes. An entire head of roasted garlic is served alongside so you can stir some into the sauce, or eat a clove with the satiny pomme puree, or eat it straight out of its papery wrap. Deliciously crisp sweet onion rings are the fun and tasty garnish. The dish is not exactly summery, but we’d hate to have to wait for fall to enjoy it again. This is definitely destined to become a patron favorite! (Suggested pairing: Bouchard an Fils Pinot Noir –France) Our table favorite at this meal was Chef Haverson’s Lobster and Fresh Corn Risotto. The risotto is perfectly creamy, and we love the kernels of corn stirred into it that pop with sweetness. Nearly a pound-and-a-half of butterpoached lobster meat is the crowning glory on this dish. Rich as it is, we happily polished off every morsel of what surely is (or will become) a signature dish for the Breeze. (Suggested pairing: La Porte “La Petite Duc” 2012 Sauvignon Blanc – Sancere France) If you find yourself too full for dessert, come back on another evening just for this final course. All desserts are made in-house and deserve high marks. The Warm Chocolate Souffle will please any chocolate lover, and the Trio of Miniature Brulee makes for a fun and flavorful sampling: Tahitian vanilla, coconut, and white chocolate. We recommend the Homemade Blueberry Pie that is cooked and served in a miniature iron skillet with an old fashioned sugared biscuit top and the Caramel Jack Sundae that has layers of Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream, caramel and sliced bananas, banana chips, candied pecans, and, of course, cracker jack.

BEACH SAFETY

•Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow. •Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.

at least semi-plausible. They make us laugh because they crouch down next to reality—a little too close for comfort—and gaze at it, grinning quizzically. If set designer Anne Breeding’s Black Tie hotel room set could talk, it would probably beg for orange shag. Its faux wood paneled walls have discoed right out of the 1970s to link arms with stale plaid couches and dusty mirrors. The adjective “bad” is often implicit when referring to hotel art, but this room’s pedestrian prints of flying ducks and cloudy mountains deserve the distinction. The play is set in modern day, so such decor adds a touch of class (and it’s not the high kind). This setting serves to pluck our protagonist, Curtis from his elite fishbowl and plop him out of water. We’ve got our bearings; now it’s time to watch the little fishy flail. Curtis’ son Teddy is having a wedding. To paraphrase George Banks in Father of the Bride, getting married and having a wedding are two entirely separate creatures. Curtis (Geoffrey Wade) sweats over the appropriate words and clothes for the rehearsal dinner, as if there exists a lone, linear path to the event’s success. Teddy, however, is simply interested in getting married, even if it means defying his family’s customs. As Curtis struggles with changing times, he conjures his very own version of his late, distinguished father (David McCandless), whose generation was unapologetically hell-bent on tradition. Father presides over Curtis’ every move, chastising him for his “below the salt” lingo, lack of propriety, and for young Teddy’s unorthodox life choices. But Curtis’ dear departed dad isn’t the only one trying to swivel his mores’ compass. His wife Mimi (Ellie Cornell) swims against high society’s tide, including the formidable wake left by her late father-in-law. In the words of director Fritz Michel, “Directing is 90% casting.” It is evident

that Wade has spent thousands of hours onstage. Ironically, his comfort as Curtis is evinced via his character’s hand wringing and shoe shuffling. Cornell makes a sexy mother of the groom and was well cast to befit the superficial compliments of her character’s ghostly father-in-law. A fine chemistry exists between Wade and Cornell, who between cheek-squeezing kisses and biting banter, seem like they really have been married for decades. McCandless, complete with condescending enunciation, evokes laughs through Father (David McCandless) proudly watches his son Curtis his character’s lack of (Geoffrey Wade) share a moment with Mimi (Ellie Cornell). humor.

Teddy (Wally Marzano-Lesnvich) gives his parents Curtis (Geoffrey Wade) and Mimi (Ellie Cornell) a little surprise.

Much of the beauty of this play lies in the unseen. The single room set and never-glimpsed bride character do not hinder audience understanding, but heighten our imagination. Also, through providing the audience with a visible ghost, Gurney spotlights the endurance of familial culture. Even if your mother died 20 years ago, you might still approach your wardrobe and hear, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No sweetie, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear a tank top under a suit jacket. Anything but a silk shell is unbecoming.â&#x20AC;? Is it acceptable to feel burdened by the principles of our youth, or should we be grateful for the gift of legacy? Is it possible to be both? Come think it through with Curtis and his family at Centre Stage, located in the basement of the Methodist Church at 2 Centre Street. Tickets are $30 at theatreworkshop.com. Black Tie is showing until August 2. See website for show times.
