Music Fills the Air in Tom Nevers Sat. & Sun. With summer skies and salt spray on ocean breezes serving as a backdrop, the inaugural Nantucket Music Festival is set for this Saturday and Sunday, August 2 and 3, featuring a stellar lineup that includes Dispatch, Guster, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Alya Brown, Entrain, Steel Pulse, Donovan Frankenreiter, and nearly a dozen others.

“Too many years have passed since fans of rock music, blues, and folk could enjoy an open air concert on Nantucket,” said NMF co-executive director Cynthia Dareshori, who founded the event with her friend and fellow islander Cheryl Emery. Dareshori and Emery were inspired to start the NMF after attending several other festivals, including the New Orleans Jazz Fest.

“Cheryl and I saw so many happy people at those festivals,” said Dareshori. “We knew in our hearts that the time was right to bring that kind of happiness to music lovers on our island.”

Daytime, open-air performances will take place both days from 11 am to 4 pm. In the evenings, sponsor dinners will be held under a tent with separate tickets and net proceeds to benefit the Celebrate Music Foundation, designed to support local musical performance and education initiatives.

The festival will be held at Tom Nevers Field on Nantucket’s eastern side which has plenty of space to accommodate thousands. In addition to great music played on 2 stages, more than 50 tents spread out over 9 acres will sell food & crafts, and offer activities for kids. Guests can even ride a ferris wheel.

Some Music Festival events are expected to be sold out by Thursday, but as of press time, general admission tickets are still available in advance at NantucketMusicFestival.com and from the new NMF office at 6 Sea Street, open daily from 9 am-7 pm. Day passes are $85; children age 12 and younger admitted free. Any remaining tickets will be available at the festival box office in Tom Nevers on Saturday and Sunday. Parking is not offered at Tom Nevers Field, but permits to park on New South Road are $15 online and first-come, first-served on Saturday and Sunday. Shuttles will transport festivalgoers to the event.

Island (Hip) Hopping

by Sarah Teach Nantucket isn’t known for having a robust hip-hop scene. Instead, we rely on Neil Diamond to make us sing, Bing Crosby to get us on the dance floor, and we’ve never been to a wedding reception without Sinatra. But 26year-old island-based hip-hop artist Mark Dwyer wants to introduce Nantucket to a style it has yet to embrace.

Forget all of your preconceived notions about rap. Dwyer isn’t interested in violence or any other negative themes that are often associated with hip-hop culture. “I’m very optimistic in my work,” explains Dwyer, whose stage name is M. Dwizzy. “My big thing is inspiring people to pick up a pen and pad instead of a gun. My hope is that they hear my music and they say, ‘you know what, man? I don’t need to sell drugs or kill anybody. I can make it another way.’ I want to show that truth and be that example.”

Dwyer, who has just dropped his second album, writes and records in his home studio on Old South Road. An elaborate synthesizer sits in front of the studio’s window, and sound-absorbing cushions are arranged strategically about the small, whistle-clean room. “I can record music anywhere I put that eyeball,” he says, gesturing towards a basketball-sized foam orb with a central recording mechanism. Neatly attached to the walls are oversize images of legendary reggae artist Bob Marley and celebrated rappers Tupac, Jay-Z, and Biggie Smalls. “These guys are my idols,” says Dwyer, nodding as he gazes slowly around the room. “And this is my safe space where I come to make my art.” And just a few seconds of hearing Dwyer’s music proves that this art is worth sharing.

Dwyer works in three musical genres: rap, reggae, and dancehall, a fastpaced style of digital pop that is uniquely Jamaican. All the way from bass to treble, every aspect of Dwyer’s songs is his own creation. Despite having no formal training in music, Dwyer’s natural knack for it has served him since he began recording five years ago. Many rappers don’t sing, and vice versa, but Dwyer carries his supple tenor up and down the gamut. He says continued on page 16

Houseguests and Memories

by Robert P. Barsanti He finally accepted the invitation and came down for the week. Linus lived in one of those far off Vermont towns that you drive through when you are on your way to Jay Peak or Montreal or you are on the run from the Feds.

He had children. He had a wife. He had horses that would create havoc in their boredom. Professionally, he spent his career reminding people that they were the adults in the room when they wanted to eat paste and throw erasers.

I had made the summertime offer to Linus, and then to his wife every year for a decade. Then I made the offer several more times until I passed beyond polite and into the zone of forceful and annoying behavior. Finally, this summer, as his boys hit middle school and the humidity dripped from the refrigerator onto a green puddle in the middle of the kitchen, he accepted.

They arrived with a car, several sets of underwear, and one hat between the four of them. We loaned them towels, gave them our sunscreen, made their lunch, drove them to the beach, and taught the mountain folk how to enjoy a five foot high surf. They got burned, they ran out of money, the boys tracked sand into the house, a chair broke, and the dog barked at them each time they slammed the screen door. They had a wonderful time.

The expiration date on houseguests is only a day longer than it is on the three filets of striped bass in the vegetable bins. Their vacation does not play well with our busy season. Further, they are always running with scissors both in town and at home. They drive the wrong way, park in the wrong direction, and eat the Heath Bar Crunch you were saving.

To be on vacation is to have a clock spinning in your head; you know how fast the sand runs through the hour glass. You can only go out to dinner tonight, you can only go to the museum tomorrow, you might only play golf on the next day. But, one way or another, the alarm will ring on Friday morning and the 6:30 boat will take you back to the highway, the hassles, and the humidity.

The same clock spins for us, the hosts. When the guests leave, we think that we can get back to normal. Having guests is not normal; they put you in their vacation. As a result, they reintroduce the island to you. To stand in the surf off Nobadeer in the middle of the afternoon; to walk the dog off of Barrett Farm road; to dig and eat your own littlenecks; all of these are the everyday luxuries that we let pass on our way to Normal. When the houseguests go, we will return to the patterns we wove before. The noises in the house will mutter the usual whines and creaks, the dog will settle himself under the table, and we can walk around in our underwear again. Our normal but comfortable life will rise from the grasses and slip back in the doors.

After a week of chaos, Linus and I sat on the back porch on Thursday evening and watched the summer stars spin in a moonless night. Small birds darted back and forth, feeding on the clouds of bugs. The house had been dipped in aloe, then trundled off to bed. We sipped cheap beer, settled continued on page 31

WHT Presents New A.R. Gurney Play

by Sarah Teach Consider yourself cordially invited to sink into the comfy seats at White Heron Theatre Company (WHTC) and enjoy the latest work of American playwright A. R. Gurney. Family Furniture curtsies before an audience for the first time since its premiere at the Flea Theater in New York City last fall.

With WHTC's characteristic black box set, imaginations can travel where they please inside Gurney's setting. It's 1952, and Dad, Mom, Brother, and Sister make up the model American family. The post-WWII establishment of suburbs is drawing distinct lines between the poor and everyone else; and this story's characters, with their dual home ownership and cashmere cardigans, are decidedly wealthy. As is often the case with moneyed people who do not wish to think of themselves as isolated, the Family Furniture crew does not honestly address their wealth. But that's not the only issue that this WASP family dances around.

Though WASPs are a curious crowd, they would never say so themselves. And that's kind of the point of being one. Normalcy within one's own social circle is sought after like godliness in a nunnery. Select deviations are acceptable, so long as they are carried out discreetly. These are indeed people who have their serious conversations while sailing off of their waterfront properties. They do send their daughters to Vassar and bristle at the phrase "pissed off." Family Furniture, like many of Gurney's plays, is about this particular American social subset, and the nature of their relationships with one another and the rest of the world. Middle-aged parents Claire (LeeAnne Hutchinson) and Russell (Conan McCarty) aim to create mini versions of themselves in their children. And they've already succeeded, to some degree. (Only in WASP country would a sexually charged young man include the word "moreover" in his excited cries.) Though Peggy (Marina

Anyone who has spent any amount of time on Nantucket knows how quickly the weather can change. Fog and cool temperatures can cloud over a sunny beach day, or a stroll in town can be dampered by a heavy downpour.

Dressing for a constantly changing climate can be a challenge, and that’s where the Haulover comes into play.

Fashionable and practical, this store has been outfitting islanders and visitors alike for the past nineteen years. The main goal of owners Mike Campbell and Greg Donoghue is to get you looking good and feeling good during all four seasons. And the best part about it, from head to toe, the Haulover is a one-stopshop for the entire family.

The store is spacious in comparison to other Nantucket shops, and is very well organized. When you walk in the door you are greeted by comfortable yet stylish dresses, tops, and skirts for women and just a bit further down you’ll come across the men’s section stocked with collared shirts, khakis, and shorts. The center area by the cash registers is dedicated to racks of sunglasses, hats, and accessories, and just beyond that is an alcove filled with apparel for babies and children. The entire back of the store is floor to ceiling with shoes, outerwear, and outdoor gear for the whole family.

While browsing their extensive collection of Patagonia, Prana, and The North Face, I realized I desperately need to update my outerwear for an upcoming voyage to Antarctica, and the Haulover will be my first stop!

They open year round, and are conveniently located near the boat docks, at 7 Salem Street.

In season the Haulover is open from 9am - 9:30pm.

Young Theater Takes Root at Dreamland

by Julianne Adams For the past few weeks, the Dreamland has been a flurry of activity during the day, not with film but with theater—Seussical Jr., to be exact. Spearheaded

by Tiffany Gallo, the Children’s Theater Education at the Dreamland has grown rapidly since its humble tent beginnings and now includes three programs: Young Actors Theater Company (YATC), Junior Company, and Senior Company, each of which, if you ask the kids, is a blast. Gallo became involved with the Dreamland after performing in The Sound of Music on the as-yet-unfinished property six years. “I fell in love with the island. Typical story,� she jokes. “Then at the Foundation, we grew the children’s programming and we’ve watched it grow for the past five years.�

A weeklong program, the YATC produces 20-minute performances of classic stories. This year, the YATC performances, held in the 314-seat Main Theater, all sold out. The Junior Company show, Seussical Jr. is likely to do the same.

Like so many of his students, director Jimmy Calitri is back after last summer’s successful Beauty & The Beast. Calitri, who this fall is joining Providence College as an assistant professor and managing theater director, is brimming with good words about the 54 kids he is working with. “These kids are rocking and rolling,� he says. Because all the kids have greatly impressed Calitri with their acting chops, he chose Seussical in order to accommodate a large cast. “There are so many talented kids, that we really needed a show with lots of leads.� Anchored in Horton Hears a Who, Seussical is a musical amalgamation of Dr. Seuss’s greatest characters. Even with 20 principal characters, the ensemble musical left Calitri wanting parts. “I added six Things that aren’t in the script and those people were like, ‘Oh, I’m a Thing? But it’s not even in the script!’ but they are working.�

For Calitri, that hard work the kids are putting in is what’s important. “I said continued on page 15

One of the most common questions I get each year is: “What is the foam I see on the water in the harbor or in salt ponds like Sesachacha or Hummock Pond?” This foam looks alarmingly like churned up pollution or detergent. Fortunately, sea foam is actually a safe and natural component of sea water and one of the most important reservoirs of carbon in our natural world. The foam is created when dissolved organic matter, called DOM by chemical oceanographers, is mixed with air to form bubbles by the wind and waves.

When small marine plants and animals called phytoplankton and zooplankton die in the water column, their cells are lysed or cut by bacteria and viruses and their organic material spills out into the water column. These particles are also dispersed during sloppy grazing, which is exactly what it sounds like: fish and tiny zooplankton ingesting smaller plants and animals don’t use a fork and knife or a napkin, so they make a huge mess that floats around in the ocean. Even tinier creatures, many smaller than a human hair (100 microns or micrometers) swim around in this stew and ingest the sugars and other good stuff. This loose carbon associated material (or DOM) mixes with ocean water and is often concentrated in bands of convergence zones by waves. This water contains a soup of proteins, lignins (tough cell wall material found in wood and some algae), and lipids (fats) derived from sources such as the offshore breakdown of algal blooms. These compounds can act as surfactants or foaming agents. As the seawater is churned by breaking waves in the surf zone adjacent to the shore, the presence of these surfactants under these turbulent conditions traps air, forming persistent bubbles that stick to each other through surface tension. Due to its low density and persistence, foam can be blown by strong on-shore winds from the near shore area onto the beach. continued on page 23

The Cocktail’s Hour—Is Now

BRIX Wine Shop Last fall when the season slowed, a couple that frequented the wine shop all summer invited me to their house for dinner. I knew they entertained a lot.

Always armed with a detailed menu and a list filled with colorful sticky notes, they would come to the shop seeking wine pairings for their dinner parties. That night driving over, I figured I would be in for a treat. And dinner was just that, but it was their cocktail hour that I loved.

In a room just off the kitchen, my host had everything set up precisely. Even the chairs were perfectly positioned—encouraging you to talk to the person next to you whom you’d never met. On the small center table sat a well thought-out cheese selection, two cheeses, just enough. Cucumber rounds kissed with edamame spread and unsalted almonds filled out the table.

Just behind the sitting area sat another table lined with wine glasses—short stemmed and perfect for the cocktail hour rosé that was just about to be poured.

That early evening we sat and talked and laughed and drank up each other’s company. I thought “this is how cocktail hour is done.”

The island of Nantucket is no stranger to the cocktail hour. In fact, cocktail hour might as well have been invented for us. With warm breezy evenings and sunny skies, it’s practically an invitation to libation. But who invented the cocktail hour and when did it all begin?

It’s not so much who invented cocktail hour, as it is what invented cocktail hour. Enter Prohibition. From 1920 until 1933, Americans could no longer legally buy alcoholic drinks at restaurants. At that time women were not allowed into illegal speakeasies either. So what’s a girl to do? Guys and gals started gathering at their homes during pre-dining hours to indulge in a few beverages before heading out for the evening. And so the cocktail hour was born. But it may have started long before that. Cocktail expert A.J. Rathbun wrote, “in

Famous Musician at Nantucket Baroque Concertgoers on Nantucket will get the chance to hear J. Reilly Lewis, an acclaimed classical keyboard player and renowned interpreter of Johann Sebastian Bach, when he leads the second annual “Nantucket Baroque” concert on Wednesday, August 6, in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

The candlelit concert also features an unusual combination of two double-manual harpsichords playing a concerto by Johann Ludwig Krebs (17131780) featuring Lewis along with Ann Colgrove, an accomplished harpsichordist and musical director at St. Paul’s. Soprano Jessica Goodeneough Heuser and cellist Mollie Glazer, both of Nantucket, join the concert of music created during the baroque era, from around 1600-1750.

Dr. Lewis is recognized internationally as an accomplished keyboard artist and conductor, as well as a leading specialist of baroque music, particularly the music of J.S. Bach. A native of Washington, DC, Dr. Lewis performs regularly in his home city, as well as for national and international audiences. He has been the featured organ soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra, has presented numerous solo organ recitals, and has performed the complete Bach Goldberg Variations in recital on numerous occasions in the United States and abroad. This will be his first trip to Nantucket.

A graduate of Oberlin College and The Juilliard School of Music, Lewis founded the Washington Bach Consort in 1977. In 1985 he was selected as the music director of the Cathedral Choral Society, the resident symphonic chorus of the Washington National Cathedral.

Co-sponsored by St. Paul’s and Nantucket Arts Council, the “Nantucket Baroque” concert returns after its debut last year during the arts council’s annual Nantucket Arts Festival. The event reunites Colgrove, Heuser and Glazer, who played the concert last year, and features St. Paul’s recently restored and enlarged Hutchings-Votey pipe organ. Additional pipes and continued on page 47

“Opera Laughing” One Night Only Fresh from New York City come four great singers, one excellent pianist, and an effervescent MC who is ready to explain it all in this special one-night only performance of Opera Laughing.

This 70-minute review, takes place on Monday night August 4 at 7:30 p.m., sandwiched in between White Heron’s Equity season and the Nantucket Comedy Festival Monday nights at White Heron Theatre, 5 North Water Street.

Opera Laughing includes Verdi, Cole Porter, Gilbert & Sullivan, Mozart, Puccini, and Donizetti. Brought to Nantucket by the Wendy Taucher Dance Opera Theatre, the company singers have recently performed with the NY Philharmonic, on Broadway, at Carnegie Hall, and the Metropolitan Opera. Taucher’s casting always includes singers who enjoy acting just as much as singing and who create stage pictures which enhance the music. Donovan Diez, long-time actor, with over 200 national commercials under his belt, hosts the evening, keeping things moving, explaining just enough of each song plot to help you enjoy the music even more.

Featuring some of the most popular beloved opera arias and ensembles, the evening includes tunes in four languages, a bit of Broadway and four singers who are opera-triple-threats. Opera Laughing is terrific for opera lovers who can’t get enough of good singing, and a charming introduction to those who might think of opera as not for them.

Singers performing in Opera Laughing include returning Metropolitan District Awardee Michelle Trovato, New York Festival of Song’s James Martin, Broadway’s Glenn Seven Allen and Erika Person of NY Gilbert & Sullivan Players. The program is directed and choreographed by Wendy Taucher and conducted by Metropolitan Opera Artist Michael Fennelly.

Tickets to this and to White Heron Theatre Company plays and comedy nights are available at www.whiteherontheatre.org.

Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part II, enthusiastic imbiber Falstaff says, “Come, I will go drink with you, but I cannot tarry dinner.”

Over the years, the cocktail hour has fallen in and out of style. During the 1950s, when the economy flourished, cocktail culture hit its stride. Imbibing in a beverage typically meant you aspired to sophistication and elegance. It was a time to kick back and relax after a hard day’s work with a martini or a manhattan. It became more of a mood, a tradition, than a period of time. The growing trend of families migrating to the suburbs in the 50s also offered up plenty of opportunity for home entertaining. The cocktail hour was alive and well.

But during the 1970s the cocktail hour went dry. People’s interest turned to wine, beer, and other “non-alcoholic” festivities. Fancy drinks and all their frills exited left. No more were the early evening gatherings celebrating clever conversation and tasty tipples.

Fast forward to present day, and we can thank the rebirth of craft cocktails for reigniting the cocktail hour. From Nantucket to New York City, restaurants, speakeasies, and craft cocktail bars are creating and recreating intricate drinks with complex flavors and ingredients. From boutique tonic syrups like Jack Rudy to small batch bitters like Bittermens, and artisanal spirits, people are sipping serious drinks with serious ingredients. And many of those cocktails date back to post-prohibition time.

One of my favorite post-prohibition libations is a cocktail called The Bees Knees. Prohibition-era slang for “the best,” The Bee’s Knees used citrus and honey to camouflage the almost undrinkable flavor of bathtub gin. Still a timely concoction, today I use Caledonia Spirits Barr Hill Gin. Made by Vermont beekeeper and honey aficionado Todd Hardie, his gin is perfect for this recipe.

Located on the banks of the Lamoille River, Todd’s distillery is in Hardwick, Vermont. Just before bottling he adds a touch of honey to his craft gin, which imparts an aromatic, floral quality. Try this recipe at your next cocktail hour:

THE BEE’S KNEES 2 oz. Caledonia Spirits Barr Hill Gin 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice 3/4 oz. honey simple syrup (1:1 ratio) Shake and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Truthfully though, the beauty of today’s cocktail hour is that you don’t have to drink a cocktail at all. Nowadays, anything goes. From the island’s favorite sip, rosé, to a six-pack of Cisco’s Whale’s Tale Pale Ale, the cocktail hour is whatever you make of it. For me, rosé is my preferred cocktail hour pour. Offering up so many different styles, rosé can easily pair with food or not. A few of my go-to’s this season include Gobelsburger Zweigelt Rosé from Austria, Selection Ott ‘Les Domaniers’ (Domaine Ott’s little brother), and Domaine Vacheron Sanerre Rosé from the Loire Valley.

Cocktail hour—it’s about anticipating that particular hour of the day, when the clock can’t hurry fast enough to five. It’s about gathering a group of people— a group of friends—encouraging conversation over whatever libation, be it a glass of wine or a cocktail from an earlier time.

I’m a now very good friend of that couple who invited me over last fall. In fact, I’m lucky to be invited over to their house for dinner often. And even when it’s just the three of us, they assure a proper cocktail hour is always had.

Because it’s five o’clock somewhere, right?

this to them day one: ‘If this show is an amazing product, that’s great but I’d rather our process be amazing, I’d rather the product represent the journey. If you communicate, collaborate, and respect each other, it’s always going to be a good product.’� Calitri and Gallo hoped the ensemble musical would have a positive impact on the audience, as well as the performers. “We thought we could connect [the program] with books. Aside from the Cat in the Hat’s hat and the grass, everything else that comes out onto the stage is a book that pops out to be Jojo’s bed or folds down to become something. We’re hitting the educational value of books,� he says. “It’s also super funny,� he adds. And, for a youth musical, Beauty and the Beast PHOTO BY ALISON SHEEHY has fantastic production value. “[The kids] are working with such great people,� he says. “We’ve been lucky to work with really great designers who have worked all over the place and are really great people to be around,� says Calitri. Calitri praises the work of the whole production team, some of whom, like choreographer Michael Richards have worked with the kids before, to much success. “We were lucky to bring in Kathryn Kawekci [who worked on Beauty & the Beast] and Amanda Downing Carney, who is bringing costumes,� says Calitri. Professional designers, the pair help elevate Seussical, Jr. to a spectacle that will keep the whole family engaged.

of his creative process, “I just have to feel the music. If it’s there, it’s there.

I don’t force it.” In the same fashion as Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Dwyer first concocts a beat then adds lyrics. Always a stellar English student, he attended Stevenson University to study history, a writing-heavy major that enhanced his command of language. He says, “Writing a song is like writing a movie, except it has music and rhymes. It’s a story. Some lyrics I completely make up, but that’s a part of all creative writing.” Other M. Dwizzy verse is drawn from real life. He discusses the first time he connected with rap, as a poetry-writing kid in Jamaica. “I heard someone rapping and thought, ‘I can do that. You’re talking about my life.’” In the ultimate tribute to his Jamaican homeland, Dwyer has just released his first reggae song, “Guide My Steps.” (“Actual reggae,” he adds emphatically with a grin that gently teases the unauthentic.) The lyrics of “Guide My Steps”–full of gratitude and hope–evoke the peaceful contentedness of Bob Marley.

Dwyer’s childhood in Montego Bay, Jamaica, was anything but peaceful.

Riddled with police brutality and a sky-high murder rate, Montego Bay was unsafe, and Dwyer’s mother wanted her son out of that environment. When Dwyer was 15, his family moved to Nantucket for a work opportunity. He started attending Nantucket High School, and quickly fit in with his peers.

Academically, his learning curve wasn’t steep; he just had to remember to do things like remove “u” from the word “color,” since Jamaican schools teach British English. Other areas proved a bit more difficult. He says, “I missed out on folklore and the other things people learn as they’re growing up in a certain place. When kids would make references to shows like Saved by the Bell, I wouldn’t get it.”

When asked about similarities between Nantucket and Jamaica, Dwyer immediately responds, “Other than being islands, there are absolutely none.

Nantucket is a lot quieter. As an artist, I can concentrate out here, and I think that comes through in my music. It’s so peaceful. If you’re a violent person and you come out here, you’d better leave that part of you behind.

Sometimes we have bad stuff happen, but Nantucket is not the place for violence. In that, it doesn’t reflect the real world. The real world is brutal. It's painful, cutthroat. It’s not friendly like it is here. But it was growing up in a tough environment that made me realize I wanted to stay out of trouble so I could accomplish great things.”

Due to the island’s large Jamaican population, Dwyer gets plenty of chances to hail back to the more pleasant aspects of his childhood, such as speaking Jamaican Patois, a dialect of English that is largely unintelligible to continued on page 17

the average English speaker. Dwyer says of his fellow Jamaicans on Nantucket, “They come here and work mediocre jobs because they don’t have the education to get better ones. But Jamaicans work hard at everything they do, especially when it comes to bettering their lives. We aren’t bothered by having to take a cold shower or hand-wash our clothes if the washing machine is broken.” Dwyer’s own day job is in the appliance delivery department at Marine Home Center. He says, “If I’m not working, I’m music. making Time and repetition, repetition, repetition are what make success happen. In my music, I try to motivate people toward their own success.”

Dwyer markets his music through social media, an avenue that has opened what is literally a world of opportunities for artists whose budgets don’t have room for traditional advertising. “With today's technology and social media, people like me can make it without a record label,” says Dwyer. “I’d like to be famous, but that’s not my main goal. I really just want to make a living from my art. If you wake up in the morning and get to do your art, that’s a good day.”

Check out Dwyer’s music on iTunes or at MDwizzy.com, where you’ll find songs, music videos set on Nantucket, and chances to buy his album.

Listen for Dwyer’s Nantucket theme song, called “Live from ACK,” which is on his latest album, New Testament.

Young Theater from page 15

clearly loving the experience Calitri has crafted for them. “We have a nice new crop of students,” says Gallo, “but we have high retention rate.” In fact, so many students wanted to stay on after aging out of the Junior Company that the Dreamland began a Senior Company. Three of these students, Lizzie Roswig, Leah Hull, and Paige Walker, have been involved with the program since its start. Hull and Walker were even part of the Sound of Music production that initially inspired the youth programming. Proud theater kids, the girls are so enamored with the Dreamland that they’ve taken on non-performing roles outside of the Senior Company. Roswig is a Suessical assistant stage manager and worked with YATC; Hull, an island native, helps with hair and make-up, serves as prop master, and works the concession stand; Walker, who also worked with YATC, doubles as assistant stage manager and dance captain.

The three girls are ardent in their love for the Children’s Theater Education programming. Speaking about their work with the Junior Company, the girls bubble with enthusiasm. “It’s so much fun,” says Hull, “because you’ve been in that position as the younger kid who looked up to the older kids who helped out.

It’s very rewarding.” Roswig agrees with Hull. She cites the older volunteers, some of whom she remains in contact with, as role models. The program has offered her, and the others, more than a stage. “The Dreamland is a part of me,” says Roswig. “I’ve never veered away from it. I’ve always done it—every summer I come to the Dreamland. They’re like my family,” she says, turning to Hull and Walker to joke with Gallo about her being their mom.

Seniors in high school, Hull and Roswig have their sights set on theater, thanks in part to the Dreamland.

Walker, a sophomore, is not eager to describe theater work as a job. “It’s my life and my passion now,” she says. All three girls are more than content enjoying the moment at the Dreamland. “The Dreamland is the place to work,” says Hull. “This is absolutely my dream job,” asserts Walker. Speaking directly to the girls, Gallo tells them, “I hope what you get out of this is an inside look at a performance and see that there are so many job opportunities in theater.” This more general exposure to theater is an important tenet of the Dreamland programming continued on page 34

White Heron from page 7

Bousa) and Nick (Max Roll) may rebel now, there are no doubts in their parents' minds that they'll return to the WASPs’ nest sooner or later, even if some guidance is required.

Gurney reminds us that not every aspect of WASP life is unique. We know that any father can match Russell's delight in embarrassing his daughter by singing. Gurney also touches on hypocrisy in relationships, which infiltrates every social group in the world. Claire claims she hopes her son Nick is being intimate with his girlfriend Betsy, but acts appalled when she finds out that indeed, that glorious day has come. Nick and Peggy are both scorned by their parents for carrying on romantic relationships that do not fit the family's social mold, but Claire herself is having an extramarital affair!

Perhaps the fully-fledged adults in the story forgive Claire's liaison because her lover is a fellow tennis-playing WASP. One of the few topics that are completely out in the open is the family's willingness to sacrifice (money, in the case of their furniture) to maintain familial underpinnings. Even so, Claire paints over the past and keeps it only on her terms, despite her declarations about the importance of inherited traditions.

Claire, whose coiffed blonde hair and mid-Atlantic accent tell an immediate story about her pedigree, and Russell, whose “genteel decrees” judge people by their dinnertime fork-holding methods, seem like old friends, not lovers. Claire dismisses her husband's unreciprocated passion like she's brushing a fly off her shoulder. The cause of her affair cannot be that she is bored with her lifestyle; otherwise, she would have shacked up with Dr. Alfred Kinsey. Perhaps she truly does crave extraction from her stuffy existence, but convention only allows that she get the same flavor from a different bakery.

Gurney serves us some delightful bits of the '50s, sprinkled with ample period music that is surely the product of his nostalgia. Nick, with slickeddown and side-parted hair, discusses a fish that put up a “nifty fight,” while Claire, who is called not “Mom” but “Mother,” silkily refers to the family's icebox. In 1952, Gurney was 22, which is right about the time we finally see

our parents as real people rather than just Mom and Dad. It seems likely that Gurney wrote Family Furniture as a tribute to his own youth, with the intention of showing that the era may have been different, but it was not necessarily “a simpler time.”

Lynne Bolton, founder and Artistic Director of WHTC, directs Family Furniture. Callie Barber, who is an energetic Betsy, is a company member with WHTC and a graduate of the New Actors Workshop in New York City.

Marina Bousa, whose dance and choreography talent was seen at the 2009 Festival Edinburgh plays Peggy.

Fringe, Bowden Award-winning LeeAnne Hutchinson, who can also be seen on Nantucket this summer at WHTC's Miracle on South Division Street, plays Claire.

The two of us have heard the chimes at midnight. I had brought him down to Rosie’s for Tequila Night all of those years ago, and then the days built up into months and years. Together, the two of us have buried hundreds of golf balls into the underbrush of New England, emptied hundreds of beer glasses, and watched a thousand miles pass. We have seen women come and go; we have seen children come; we have seen parents go. He is an old book; unfinished, but not forgotten. When I pick the work up again, everything reappears as familiar and sure as yesterday.

Linus has unsettling knowledge of my life, as if he were a time traveler stopping in at different points of my life. He may not know me better than anyone else, but he knows things that nobody else can learn. We traveled through Scotland and spent a night in Mrs. Pemmington’s Bunkhoouse. As often as I tell the story, I can’t convey to anyone else what it smelled like amid all that rotting hay or what conditions the bathrooms were in. He keeps this, and other things, in a place where there are no words. He knew me back when my t-shirts fit and when my shoes were new. Everyone else in my life knows my today, but he knows yesterday. And he will know tomorrow. After the kids have moved out and this house has passed to the next house, and this chair has become the next chair, Linus will reappear.

Our friends are the best things we have. They are the people who chose us so many years ago and the people who have chosen us again and again.

They knew us when we were fat, when we were rich, when we were married to others, and now, at this stage of our decline, they reaffirm their connection to us again. We can’t be that bad if they still can come by.

Linus and I spent the evening checking accounts. We polished the silverware of the past, then looked off into the spinning night. There would be other, darker, evenings. For this night, the air was warm, the beer was cold, and the police were interested in others. Our lives clasped together again, in the settling dark of an island night.

Far from the usual...

that to the amount of material in the water.

Although DOM is in oceanic and harbor and marsh (brackish mid salinity) water all the time, the concentrations of DOM go up after an algae bloom occurs. When large blooms of algae decay offshore, great amounts of decaying algal matter often wash ashore. Foam forms as this organic matter is churned up by the surf. The Encyclopedia of Earth’s web page describing Marine Dissolved organic matter does an excellent job of synthesizing the basics about this important pool of carbon (www.eoearth.org/view/article/154471): “Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is important in the global carbon cycle and marine food webs, and it affects the penetration of light, the exchange of gases at the sea surface and the availability of trace metals and other nutrients to biota. The world ocean is one of the largest reservoirs of actively cycling organic carbon on Earth, and most of the actively cycling organic carbon in seawater resides in the operationallydefined dissolved phase.� This is a big fancy word for saying they call something dissolved if it fits through a filter that is 0.45 microns in size; anything that goes through that pore size (or in some cases a slightly smaller one that is 0.22 microns) is considered “dissolved.�

The amount of dissolved organic carbon in seawater (700 Pg; one Pg [petagram]=10 X 10^15 grams=one billion metric tons) is similar to the amount of carbon in atmospheric carbon dioxide, so getting a grip on the factors that control how marine DOM is created, packaged, and consumed or dropped out of the system is a critical part of understanding how we adapt to higher amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Marine plants can take up excess CO2; the trick is in “sequestering� the carbon and keeping it from being re-released. You might not know, but all materials on earth (or essentially most materials except matter coming in from space) is recycled in our sediments, in the ocean, in the earth magma, or ejected by volcanoes and pretty much everything goes through a big conveyor belt from atmosphere, ocean, mountains to be eroded into rivers, turned into soil or plant and animal life, deposited into oceans, eaten or used by marine life, continued on page 33

pooped out and down to the sea floor to be recycled once again. Everything we are made of is all connected and at one time was part of something else.

When you look at the sea foam in the ocean, you are looking at one of the largest active organic carbon reservoirs on earth. What this means is this represents more carbon than all the rainforests or salt marshes or corals reefs in the world. As mentioned above, the global volume of carbon stored in the DOM (662 billion tons) is comparable with the total volume of carbon in atmospheric carbon dioxide (currently 835 billion tons) and in land plants (610 billion tons). It is greater than the volume of carbon stored in living marine animals, plants and bacteria (some 3 billion tons) by a factor of 200.

That’s a lot of carbon, and if we hope to adapt or fix the carbon excess in the atmosphere, we will need the help of DOM in the ocean. So cheer on that foam!

Not all sea foam is a good thing though, sometimes it can signal when things have gone out of whack, especially if the foam occurs in great quantities in nearshore areas following large algal blooms which can be harmful.

From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s website: (oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/seafoam.html) “Most sea foam is not harmful to humans and is often an indication of a productive ocean ecosystem. But when large harmful algal blooms decay near shore, there are potential for impacts to human health and the environment. Along Gulf coast beaches during blooms of Karenia brevis, for example, popping sea foam bubbles are one way that algal toxins become airborne. The resulting aerosol can irritate the eyes of beach goers and poses a health risk for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Scientists studying the cause of seabird dieoffs off California in 2007 and in the Pacific Northwest in 2009 also found a soap-like foam from a decaying Akashiwo sanguinea algae bloom had removed the waterproofing on feathers, making it harder for birds to fly. This led to the onset of fatal hypothermia in many birds.�

Fortunately these instances are relatively rare, and there is no need to call the authorities if you see these suds on our harbor and bordering shores.

Thank those little messy eating creatures for using up some of the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and for recycling our carbon. More on the carbon reservoirs at www.whrc.org/global/carbon/residual.html.

Young Theater from page 18

When they’re not on the clock for Seussical, the girls are at the Dreamland prepping their own shows with the Senior Company on August 16 and 17. A cabaret style with numbers from the opening acts of Broadway hits, The First 5 Minutes has a much smaller cast of 13. “Everyone who does it,� says Roswig, “we’ve known each other for such a long time. And for anyone who’s new, all of a sudden we’re best friends.� The bonds the young students build during this short period of time run deep. Hull reflects: “It’s my summer highlight—of the year,� she corrects herself, “the year in general actually.�

Their theater work, aside from their friendships, has taught them a great deal about the craft of acting and performances generally, which is part of the program’s goal. “Working with Jimmy, especially with me as a character actress,� says Roswig, “has helped me get into my part and have movements for it and incorporate it with the rest of the group.� Calitri would certainly be glad to hear this. “I’m personally hoping that [the kids] will leave better actors,� he says. For Gallo, the kid’s experiences with acting will help them down the line.

She speaks of how the programs, especially the YATC, are designed to help kids develop confidence that will aid them in the classroom, at interviews, and for simply discovering their own personalities. And, of course, Gallo sees the programs as embedding the students with a life-long love for art. “We’re building appreciation for the arts,� she says. “We’re creating patrons of art.�

It just so happens that this creative mission is a whole lot of fun for their kids and audience. “Everyone always leaves this rehearsal happy, says Hull. “I’m so excited for the kids to actually be on the stage because they’re doing such a great job out of costume in front of us. Once they get in costume, in front of an audience, it’s going to be mind-blowing. As Roswig aptly puts it, “Dr. Seuss—it’s happiness and it’s crazy. With theater, it’s whole new level of imagination.

Great for all ages, Seussical Jr. runs August 13-17. To purchase tickets ($20 adults; $14 kids), visit nantucketdreamland.org or stop by the Dreamland box office at 17 South Water St.. And for the Broadway fiends, or just those who like good entertainment, tickets to The First 5 Minutes ($15 adults; $10 kids) can also be purchased online or at the box office.

new instrumental stops have “transformed” St. Paul’s instrument into “a destination organ,” said Colgrove, “one worthy of drawing an accomplished musician like Lewis.

“It’s sound is now ‘electric’ and astounding,” added Colgrove about the organ’s expanded capabilities.

Representing St. Paul’s and Nantucket Arts Council respectively, Colgrove and Reggie Levine, a member of St. Paul’s and former longtime president of the arts council, said they intend the annual event to become the “signature concert” of an annual festival on Nantucket devoted to baroque music and culture. “The baroque era left us with a vast library of music,” said Levine, who suggested that a “serious” yearly festival might feature architecture, history and literature in addition to music.

This year’s twilight concert will be performed by candlelight in the atmospheric and historic St. Paul’s, which was built in 1904 and features Tiffany Studios stained glass windows, considered by many art historians to be PHOTO BY BETH LEWIS among the best art glass ever produced.

Tickets to the 6 p.m. concert are $25 general admission and $20 for Nantucket Arts Council members. Students are admitted free with a student ID. For more information about the concert, visit www.nantucketartscouncil.org.

Vol. 44 No. 13 • Our 44th Season!

July 31 - Aug 6, 2014

Featured Restaurant: Easy Street Restaurant & Seafood House

New England Seafood on the Wharf What better place to enjoy a meal on Nantucket than by the water?

And what better food to savor on this island off the coast of Massachusetts than New England seafood?

Easy Street Restaurant and Seafood House offers both.

This landmark eatery has gone through a number of transformations during its decades long history. Many on the island still have fond memories of fun nights spent there when it was Schooners. Last year the restaurant was managed by a team who tried to bring Cajun fare to the island. This year owner Joseph Arno has returned Easy Street Restaurant to its roots as a casual eatery serving local New England seafood.

Easy Street Restaurant & Seafood House offers both indoor and outdoor dining.

Their patio is an ideal spot for people watching along the busy corner where Easy Street meets Steamboat Wharf. An awning shelters the outdoor tables on this sidewalk café, but diners Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail can still enjoy fresh breezes as they tuck into breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The airy, spacious first floor dining room of Easy Street Restaurant is surrounded by windows and has a casual, relaxed ambiance. There's plenty of room here for large parties, and it is a favorite of families. Centrally located is a large wrap-around bar well-stocked with top shelf liquors, where you can enjoy a dozen draft beers, another half dozen by the bottle, and a tempting assortment of specialty cocktails (try the Arno's Bloody Mary, their Nantucket Cosmo, or the sparkling Mimosa Blush).

By day, the dining bar is also common spot for a quick lunch. And if you need to emphasize “quick” so you can catch the boat Off or get back to work, Easy Street has a special Express Menu with more than a dozen selections that can be prepared in just a few minutes to get you on your way, including Quahog Chowder, Shrimp Cocktail, Spinach Salad, Fried Haddock Sandwich, and Lobster Roll.

Upstairs at Easy Street Restaurant & Seafood House there are two dining areas with sweeping views: one overlooks Easy Street and the bustling streets leading to Steamboat Wharf; windows in the other overlook Easy Street Basin. Set apart from the main dining room, this second floor space is

ideal for private celebrations.

The choice table upstairs is tucked into a corner of windows overlooking the water, and it was here that we sat during our recent dinner at Easy Street Restaurant and Seafood House. As the first two of us waited for the rest of our team, we gazed out at the water of Easy Street Basin sparkling in

Steamed Live Mussels

the last rays of the summer sun. Gracefully stepping at the water's edge, near blooming rosa rugosa, was a white egret, perhaps fishing for its own dinner.

Our waiter, John, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. He was attentive without hovering, and eager to assist with every aspect of our evening. At John's recommendation, we decided to start with Stuffed Quahogs. Prepared in-house from fresh clams, steamed and chopped and folded into a nicely seasoned stuffing, these are a nice introduction to New England Seafood. If you are already a fan of clams, though, we recommend you order the Fried Ipswich Clams, which features fresh whole belly clams, Baby Spinach Salad with Lobster Salad breaded and lightly

fried. Also very tempting is the Fried Calamari: we watched a family at a neighboring table devour a plate full the tender of rings and tentacles.

Even better is the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail served at Easy Street Restaurant & Seafood House.

You can order as many shrimp as Pan-Seared Scallops you like and they arrive plump and succulent, chilled with a spicy cocktail sauce that you can make even spicier by stirring into it the dollop of horseradish served on top as a garnish.

We were quite impressed by the Steamed Live Mussels at Easy Street.

The plump mussels were cooked just right, tender, and deliciously flavored by a pool of broth with white wine, garlic, onion, tomato, and herbs. When

Chicken Breast Marsala

we ran out of the toasty bread served with the mussels for dipping, we used our spoons. It was that good!

There are four different summer salads served at Easy Street: Classic Caesar, Baby Lettuces, Baby Spinach, and Caprese, and four toppings you can add to any one of them to make them a meal instead of just a side: chicken breast, grilled salmon, jumbo shrimp, and lobster salad. We opted for the Baby Spinach Salad with Lobster Salad, and it was enough to make a light summer meal. The Lobster Salad — the same, we were told,

July 31 - Aug 6, 2014

Page 49

that is used in their Lobster Roll — is prepared from freshly steamed lobster meat, tender and sweet, in a very light mayonnaise dressing with chopped scallions and celery for a tasty crunch.

Of the thirteen entrees on the Easy Street dinner menu, all but two feature seafood: haddock, salmon, swordfish, clams, shrimp, and lobster. We particularly liked the Sauteed Jumbo Shrimp Scampi over Cappellini.

The shrimp were plump and firm and succulent; the pasta al dente and tossed in a flavorful garlic sauce.

We were also quite fond of the m a n g o cilantro relish that is served on the grilled Center Cut Swordfish Steak: it gave the moist and meaty fish a Sauteed Jumbo Shrimp Scampi over Cappellini delightfully cool and juicy topping. The Pan-Seared Scallops also have a distinctive sauce of oyster mushrooms, ginger, and scallions that gives the dish a land-meetssea flavor. Each entree comes with your choice of risotto or mashed Yukon Gold potatoes. The rice is quite good, but the potatoes are even better, creamy and buttery.

If any in your party prefer meat to seafood, then you can order either the Filet Mignon with green peppercorn sauce or the Chicken Breast Marsala with its tender strips of white meat, fresh mushrooms, in a rich and slightly sweet sauce.

Desserts at Easy Street are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. The Key Lime Pie is sweet and tart, the Flourless Chocolate Cake dark and rich.

Our favorite was the Boston Cream Pie, another New England classic, with its moist cake, creamy custard, and sweet chocolate glaze.

We left the restaurant just after a large party arrived. We had a few blocks to walk to get to where we had parked, but a stroll along Easy Street and up Main on a warm summer's night after a hearty meal was a very pleasant way to end our evening.

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.
