Hudson Shakespeare Company plays The Bard in Hamilton Park Next Up: Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2

By Sally Deering Never mind getting upstaged by fancy swordplay or an actor taking too long for his death scene. Hudson Shakespeare Company’s adaptable actors must endure teens on skateboards, barking dogs, ambulance sirens, even low-flying helicopters while they project the dense and rhyming lines of The Bard.

Such is the actor’s life when performing with the Hudson Shakespeare Company, now in its 25th year.

This summer, the ensemble puts on three Shakespeare

plays and will bring Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2 to Hamilton Park on Thurs, Aug. 18 at 7 pm. Admission is free thanks to support from the Hudson County Office of Cultural Affairs and other supporters of the arts.

On a recent Thursday evening, local park-goers gathered in Hamilton Park for Edward III. In a quasi-amphitheater setting that turned the steps leading down from the gazebo into audience seating and the circular walkway surrounding the gazebo Cont’d on page 3

Swordplay abounds in EDWARD III put on by Hudson Shakespeare Co.at Hamilton Park in Jersey City.

Rachel Matusewicz as Countess of Salisbury clashes swords with Isaac Andrew as King David of Scotland; while Lord Audley (l.), played by Conrad Aurelius battles with Douglas, a Scottish Nobleman played by Keith Hale.

Urban Shakespeare Cont’d from page 2 into the stage for the play, the actors adorned in capes, boots, breastplates and leather accoutrements acted Edward III against a moving backdrop of kids playing ball, people walking their dogs, and commuters heading home from a long day at the office.

Cheryl Pickett as French Ambassador Lorraine addresses King Edward (Ben Forer) as Lord Audley (Conrad Arelius) and Prince Ned (Rhiannon Lattimer) look on

Ben Forer who played King Edward paid the passers-by no mind as he began the play with Rhianna Latimer as Prince Ned and Conrad Arelius as Lord Audley discussing the King’s affairs. The only mishaps were when a sword wouldn’t budge from its holster, and a toddler on the loose entered – and stole – his scene. But Forer and the rest of the cast held tough even when a low-flying helicopter flew overhead and without further distraction, Edward wooed the Countess of Salisbury played by Rachel Matusewicz.

In 1992, L. Robert Johnson founded Hudson Shakespeare in Jersey City and brought Shakespeare to the parks and schools.

He later partnered with Jon Ciccarelli, who took over the reigns as Artistic Director after Johnson passed in 2010. Ciccarelli directed Edward III. Since then, Ciccarelli and his wife Noelle Fair direct the company’s season of Shakespeare and other plays. The team also works with Sarah Schlesinger who did the fight choreography for Edward III. “We’ll decide a year ahead for our next summer titles,” Ciccarelli says. “A couple things we look for are what hasn’t the company done yet, and something the public doesn’t usually see. If it’s a title we have done before, we try to do a different spin on it. Three years ago, Noelle did a steampunk version of

Macbeth with techno music.”

King Edward and Countess of Salisbury do a mating dance in EDWARD III Hudson Shakespeare started out as a summer performances troupe and now does shows throughout the year in local schools, performing abridged versions of Shakespeare’s most popular plays like Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

“Hudson Shakespeare has expanded quite a bit,” Ciccarelli says, right after a rehearsal for Henry IV.

“When we first started out, it was a lot of costume odds-and-ends, and sword rentals. I mentioned to Luther we should have our own stuff, so we started accumulating our costumes and weaponry.”

The program for Edward III states it was written by William Shakespeare and Thomas Kyd. When asked who Thomas Kyd was, and why he was getting billing with The Bard, Ciccarelli says the discovery was that The Bard collaborated with Kyd and wrote 40 percent of the play, while Kyd wrote 60%. This discovery came about through computer software designed by Sir Brian Vickers, a University of London professor to weed out plagiarizing college students.

Things heat up in Edward III when King Edward, (Ben Forer) kisses the Countess of Salisbury (Rachel Matusewicz) had a hit in London a few years earlier than Shakespeare,” Ciccarelli explains. “He was on par with Christopher Marlowe. And when Edward III was first published, there was no author assigned to it. There’s no external reference that both Shakespeare and Kid had written it, only through analysis of the text. It has been compared to Kyd’s and Shakespeare’s body-ofwork. Researchers look for an author’s writing fingerprint; writers ten to use

words a certain way that gives them their ‘voice’.

Of the writers who could have written Edward III, Thomas Kyd was the best match.”Ciccarelli likes to find obscure and rarely performed Shakespeare for Hudson Shakespeare’s repertoire. And he prefers casting actors who can be adaptable when performing outdoors.

“Our actors are either musical theater-based or from improv troupes,” Ciccarelli says. “People who are good at improv and make bold choices; that adds a lot to the liveliness of the productions. We prefer actors who are flexible and can roll with things.”

La Festa Italiana 2016 promises Fun, Dancing and Great Food Holy Rosary Church celebrates 113th Italian Festival in Downtown JC

by Sally Deering August nights are a time to celebrate when La Festa Italiana, the Old World Italian Street Festival hosted

by Holy Rosary Church turns Historic Downtown Jersey City into five summer nights of music, dancing, food and fun!

La Festa Italiana 2016 begins Wed, Aug. 10, and continues through Sun, Aug. 14, on Sixth & Brunswick Streets. On these five summer nights, the neighborhood surrounding Holy Rosary Church will come alive with rocking dance music, games of chance, kids’ activities, and a widearray of delicious foods and libations. La Festa Italiana runs from 5 pm-11 pm Wednesday-to-Friday, and 3 pm-11 pm Saturday & Sunday. The last night (Sunday) at 11 pm, the “Super 50/50” Raffle winner will be chosen. Last year’s ticket-holder won over $10,200.

souvenir vendors and Italian delicacies made

by Holy Rosary Church parishioners like Fresh Hot Zeppoles, lemony Limoncello and “Our Famous Rice Balls”.

Founded in 1885, Holy Rosary Church is the first Italian Roman Catholic Parish in New Jersey. Pastor of Holy Rosary Church, the Rev. Jerzy (Jurek) Zaslona says La Festa Italiana pays tribute to the church’s 131-year history and strengthens community ties.

“I thoroughly enjoy this five-night feast,” Rev. Zaslona says. “As a church, we are here to serve the people of Jersey City and La Festa Italiana gives us the opportunity to become a more integrated community.”

La Festa Italiana 2016 has a 5-star line-up of music performed by live bands and music groups, featuring

Dimaira, DMD, MS, PA, Catholic Cemeteries, Panepinto Properties, Commonwealth/ Fleetwood, Monteleone’s Bakery, Sorrentino Electric, and Yelp.

This year, La Festa Italiana 2016 will be a “Foodie’s Paradise” with vendors like Mayon Grill’s Filipino BBQ, Pure ‘n’ Simple Flatbreads’ coal-fired brick oven pizzas, the Angry Crab food truck serving crab cakes and lobster rolls; and Liege (Belgian) Waffles which will also serve crepes with lots of topping choices, and they have a gluten-free crepe, too. And there’s more, like mouthwatering Italian sausage sandwiches, Greek specialties, and delicious desserts including hand-made cannolis at Caffe Italiano in Holy Rosary’s backyard.

Lots of returning, local food vendors, too, like Gia’s Gelato & Café in Jersey City, which will be selling 26 flavors of Gelato like “Kitty Kitty Bang Bang”, vanilla gelato with Oreo cookies, raspberries and white chocolate. Owners Angela Ratliff and Deb Brackett agree La Festa Italiana has been great for business and offers many opportunities to meet people who eventually become regulars.

“It allows us to be part of the community and reach out to a large number of potential customers,” Brackett says. “When we sell Gelato at La Festa, we talk to so many customers who become aware of all we sell at Gia’s down the street.”

Luna’s Bowtique will sell hair products like bows and headbands, and be sure to visit the Radical Wellness tent, where you can purchase essential oils, teas, and energy-therapy

products.

“We’ll be bringing a lot of new blends, teas, oils, and energy balancing bracelets, which were a big hit last year,” owner Jimmy Benito says. “At La Festa, we meet a lot of new people and build relationships with them.”

This is the 8th year Jason Gitlin, owner of Delenio’s will be selling his delicious Brooklyn-style pizzas (thin crust) with fresh homemade Mozzarella, meatball sliders, clams and mussels.

“La Festa is a good experience and a great way to make new friends,” Gitlin says. “The people at Holy Rosary are really good people. I have a photograph from 1921 in my restaurant. It’s the same festival.

All the people and police are lined up on 6th Street.

La Festa is a long-running tradition that’s great for the neighborhood.”

Lucky Honey Bee is a full-range of natural bee products that will again be sold at this year’s La Festa Italiana. Other ‘stars’ of the festival are the Hourly 50/50s, and the popular Money Wheel.

On Sat, Aug. 13, church parishioners who are Ferris High School alumni can meet at the Parish Center Cont’d on page 7

Cont’d from page 6 Center for the 7th annual Ferris High School Reunion & Caffe Italiano, where Michael Buscio Acoustic and Party of Five Doo Wop will be entertaining. Both Buscio and Party of Five’s Joe Calamito are sons of Holy Rosary Church.

A Novena will be celebrated for nine days from August 6-14, in veneration to Our Lady of Assumption.

On Mon., Aug. 15, at 11 am, the Assumption Feast Day Mass, in veneration to Maria SS. Dell’Assunta will be celebrated. At this Mass, we will celebrate the memory of Most Rev. Thomas A. Donato, a son and dear friend of Holy Rosary Church. The Most Rev. John W. Flesey, a long-time friend of Bishop Donato is the Celebrant.

On Tues., Aug 16, at 11 am, the St. Rocco Feast Day Mass will be celebrated.

A traditional Street Procession follows both Masses.

La Festa Italiana is Holy Rosary Church’s special way of saying thank you to its parishioners and neighbors, as it celebrates 131 years of serving the spiritual needs of its parish and the Historic Downtown Jersey City community. For many years, La Festa Italiana has been the church’s biggest fundraiser for the restoration and upkeep of the church. During La Festa Italiana 2016, the church will be open for visitors to see up close the magnificent beauty that is Holy Rosary Church.

Visitors are also welcome to donate a 7-day Memorial Candle in memory of a loved-one.

“Traditions and customs define us as a community,” Rev. Zaslona says. “As a country we have traditions and customs that are recognized and embraced by those who come here; the same with our traditions as a church. People like to become part of established traditions, therefore, it is important to cultivate and cherish these traditions for generations to come.”

Hudson Shakespeare returns with the third installment of its 25th annual Shakespeare in the Parks tour. “Henry IV has two main plots that intersect in a dramatic battle at the end of the play. The first plot concerns King Henry IV, his son, Prince Harry, and their strained relationship. A lot of the humor comes from his tavern friend, the ever precocious Falstaff.” Admission is free bring the kids.

MILE SQUARE THEATRE, 1408 Clinton St, HOB. (201) 683-7014; www. milesquaretheatre.org. Runs through Aug 7; Wed-Sat, 8 pm; Sun at 3 pm. LONG GONE DADDY chronicles the comic misadventures of becoming a stay-at-home father. “From Bruce Springsteen concerts to OBGYN appointments to the Hoboken playgrounds and back again, Joe Gallo’s semi-autobiographical play also wrestles with the memory of his own Dad, a former fireman, and the existential question, ‘When does a father earn the right to be called Dad?’ (Pictured: Joe Gallo in LONG GONE DADDY.)

VISUAL ARTS

LITM, 140 Newark Ave, JC. Tues, Aug 2-31. Opening reception Tues, Aug. 2. “Masking Tape Artist Kayt Hester and abstract painter CP HARRIK have come together in a collaborative effort for this year’s August show at LITM, showcasing works created together, and separately. Kayt Hester’s stark, black masking tape lines are enhanced by CP HARRIK’S bold and meticulous use of color. The artists first experimented with a few collaborations last summer.

The results were so successful they decided to try it on a larger scale. Music by Jersey City’s famous DJ Dancing Tony.”

MANA CONTEMPORARY, 818 Newark Ave, JC, (201) 604-2702, www.manacontemporary.com. Through Oct. 2016: Ayn Foundation Presents: ARNULF RAINER. A selection of works from

ARTScene

Austria’s most famous contemporary artist.

“Born in 1929 in Baden, near Vienna, Austrian artist Arnulf Rainer was a nonconformist from the beginning. He dropped out of art school twice after only a few days, preferring instead to follow his intuition. Now internationally-acclaimed, with retrospectives at the Georges Pompidou (1984) and the Guggenheim New York (1989), his body of work is immense, his singular, provocative influence uncontested. Using a variety of media and materials, and mostly recognized for his “overpaintings,” in which he blocks out artworks, Rainer’s impulses have been fueled by obsession, the subconscious, dreams, Surrealism, primal forces, and mythology.”

SHUASPACE, 340 SUMMIT AVE, JC July 30-Aug 13 (Opening Reception Jul 30, 6-10 pm: #GRLPARADISE, an exhibition produced by Aurora Diaz and The Bettys, an all-female art collective from the Greater New York Area. “#GRLPARADISE features 12 female artists from around the world as they express their answers to the question: What is your idea of leisure and fun? The exhibition features works about real experiences of fun, leisure, and sisterhood through the female lens.

Since the beginning of time, men have dictated what is and is not enjoyable for women. #GRLPARADISE seeks to

reverse the patriarchic definition of female fun. The exhibition consists of diverse female voices expressed through mediums including photography, paintings, illustrations, and more.”

“The Village area of Jersey City was settled by immigrants from Italy around the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Casa Colombo features a photo exhibit of an Italian section of downtown Jersey City in the 1920s. (Exhibit donated by the Embankment Preservation Coalition of Jersey City.) Also on exhibit, photographs and a fully recreated Italian immigrant oneroom apartment. (Pictured: Kitchen area of a Turn-of-theCentury Italian apartment in Jersey City.)

“As the U.S. industrialized in the early 18th century, Newark grew to be one of the leading industrial centers of the country.

Newark’s main areas of manufacture were leather, beer and precious metals.

However, many other kinds of goods were produced in workshops and factories throughout the city. For example, Franklin Murphy, one of the Newark Museum’s founding

Int’l Film Festival, Liberty Humane Society, York Street Project, and \ Art House Productions.

“Everyone recognizes the opportunity to serve Rotary for what it truly is: not a trustees, was a varnish manufacturer. Everything from carriages, automobiles, furniture, pearl buttons, silk stockings, tools and machinery were produced here as well. Tiffany & Co. opened an enormous factory in Newark’s North Ward, in 1894, and by 1929 it and other Newark workshops were producing 90 percent of the gold jewelry

small opportunity, but a great one; an opportunity of a lifetime to change the world for the better, forever through Rotary’s service to humanity,” says Rotary International 2016-2017 President-elect John F. Germ.

by Amanda Levie features Julian Blake Godon, Finn Kilgore, Natasha Edwards, and Carlo Fiorletta. “After their successful co-production of “Is That Danny DeVito?” with Art House Productions in

Jersey City last fall, the team and is excited for its New York premiere. Written in the style of the absurdist comedies of Samuel Beckett, IS THAT DANNY DEVITO? focuses on the psychologic non-adventures of two over-educated but under-employed millennials as they wait for a perpetu ally delayed bus to deliver

them from their New England campsite to their beloved Garden State. As they wait, Dusty (Julian Blake Gordon) and Geoff (Finn Kilgore) pass the time with the help of bizarre locals (Natasha Edwards & Carlo Fiorletta) and conversations on topics ranging from the millennial experience to celebrity culture,

pop entertainment, literature, New Jersey, and whether or not a man unseen to the audience is Danny DeVito.”
