AACTFest 2011: the play’s the thing Rochester is a theater town, although you might be surprised by just how dramatic it can be. Most people are aware of Geva Theatre and the Rochester Broadway Theatre League. But all told we have at least 30 community-theater groups that call the Greater Rochester area home.

This week there will be even more theater in town, as AACTFest 11 brings approximately 400 communitytheater associates to Rochester through June 26.

AACTFest is the national conference for the American Association of Community Theatre, a

biennial event that draws participants from theater groups across the country.

While community-theater managers, directors, designers, actors, and more have been in town since Monday taking in workshops, local theater lovers will be most interested in the performance portion of the festival running at Geva Wednesday, June 22, through Saturday, June 25.

Read on for more details on AACTFest 11, and an accompanying community-theater guide.

The problem isn’t expectations of teachers

City’s coverage of education issues in the Rochester area is uniquely committed, insightful, and appreciated. Thank you, despite the concern I express below.

The “Eye on Education” article (June 8) provided important statistics that are key to understanding urban educational challenges. However, a key claim, advocated by the experts who gave their input, was wrong: that is, that a cause of urban educational failure has to do with low expectations. Sometimes this claim is phrased as teachers not holding students accountable to grade level standards.

The claim was briefly but powerfully in vogue 40 years ago. It has been negated by many years of educational research. If the experts meant to say, “Urban education can be and should be improved,” I heartily agree. But a literal interpretation of the claim leads to the radical misunderstanding that teacher attitudes are at the heart of urban educational woes. There would be a simple fix if that explanation were true, but it is simplistic, misleading, and harmful, a red herring in our efforts to improve American education.

Rather than focus on the easy answer of blaming teachers, we need to honestly address the question, “How can we make the changes necessary to enable success among the varied populations of our atrisk students?”

‘Traditional’ marriage

I respectfully disagree with Debbie Spaulding’s defense of traditional marriage (The Mail, June 15). First, the idea of traditional marriage — wherein a man and a woman marry, have children, and create a nuclear family — is itself a myth. Historians and historical sociologists (see Stephanie Coontz’s book, “Marriage, a History”) have been dispelling this myth for a few decades.

Also, marriage is primarily a social contract between two individuals and the government, and the shape and role of “traditional marriage” has changed rapidly in the past several centuries as societies themselves have evolved. For example, in early 19th-century Austria, peasants and commoners did not “marry.” They lived out of wedlock (and had children out of wedlock, too) since they could not afford the fees required by the government in order to “marry.” Only the wealthy and the elite could afford to marry, thus reconfirming and further perpetuating social order.

I bring up this particular example simply to demonstrate how governments — and society — have decided in the past who could marry and who could not. Governments can also change positions on this matter. An example in recent American history is, of course, the famous Supreme Court case from 1967, Loving vs. Virginia, in which an interracial couple challenged the federal government to recognize their “non-traditional marriage” (in the eyes of many Americans at that time).

The Lovings challenged those who believed that “traditional marriage” should be between members of the same race.

This information demonstrates how fluid and flexible the concept of marriage is, and, more important, how unreliable our 2011 notions of “traditional marriage” really are.

Second, if one is really concerned about the fate of children in America, the best thing to do is to make sure

that they end up in the hands of gay and lesbian parents.

Recent groundbreaking studies (see Time Magazine, “Children of Lesbians May Do Better Than Their Peers,” June 7, 2010) demonstrate that children fare better with gay and lesbian parents. Children raised by lesbian parents scored higher on psychological tests regarding self-esteem, did better academically than their peers with straight parents, and had fewer behavioral problems (studies on gay male parenting is still ongoing).

Most astounding, researchers found that there were almost no cases of abuses — domestic, sexual, or mental (See Huffington Post, “Child Abuse Rate at Zero Percent in Lesbian Households, New Report Finds,” November 10, 2010) — in lesbian households. Straight parents are more likely to sexually abuse their own children than lesbian parents. I understand Spaulding’s argument that having a two-parent household creates a much more successful environment for rearing children than a single-parent household. But none of the information she presented demonstrates that the parents in question have to be opposite sex.

Moreover, her comment that children should be raised by biological parents might create feelings of ill will among opposite-sex parents who have chosen to adopt children for a variety of reasons. Does she believe that opposite-sex parents who adopt children that are not biologically theirs are unfit to parent?

Our society is changing and evolving. But it always has and it always will. Holding on to unfounded myths about “traditional marriage” in an era where our understanding of relationships, family, and society is being increasingly complicated by technology (example: in vitro fertilization) and other factors does little to help us to embrace and celebrate committed relationships in their many forms and guises today.

The next Jazz Fest To anyone who went to this year’s Jazz Festival, it’s no surprise that the event set attendance records. It was a happy mob scene, from beginning to end.

It was also a terrific festival, with terrific music. And for me, it did what a successful festival should do: every night, we went home wishing we’d been able to see more.

Some friends who know more about jazz than I do complain that the festival had too many acts that aren’t really jazz.

But to me, there was plenty — plenty of the straight-ahead jazz that I like (personal favorite: the stupefyingly wonderful Bill Charlap) and plenty that delighted the purists but was way over my head (Bill Frisell being one).

The Jazz Festival is the most intense, most exhilarating, most dizzyingly fun of all of our festivals in this festival-crazy town. And it’s bursting at the seams.

Everybody has their own stories about waiting in line. When we showed up at Kilbourn at 4:45 for the 6 o’clock Grace Kelly show, the line was down the passageway between Gibbs and Swan, then down Swan to East, and way, way, way up East Avenue: too long to offer any hope of getting in. So… no Grace Kelly. And lesson learned. For other Kilbourn early shows, we left work early enough to be in line by 4:30.

For a 6 o’clock show at Montage, we got in line at 4:45 and were far enough back that all seats were gone when we got in. For two shows at the Lutheran Church, we stood just inside the back door and listened, not able to get in to the performance itself. There was no hope of getting into the Tent for one of the shows we wanted to see. Abilene was packed every night we stopped by.

What can be done about the long waits in line? The festival’s at the mercy of the venue sizes, XRIJF’s John Nugent told me. The festival location is ideal: it has downtown’s biggest concentration of venues within walking distance. But there just aren’t any more venues nearby.

(Hochstein has plenty of room, of course, but it’s too far from the festival core.)

Then there are the crowds on the street. Gibbs Street has been crowded in previous years, but sometimes this year it was crushingly packed. Not navigable.

Something’s gotta give. Nugent says he’s been talking to city officials about closing off more of East Avenue throughout the festival. And maybe, as 13WHAM’s Rachel Barnhart has suggested, the VIP

The outdoor events are trending more toward rock — and too many loud, rock-like events could change the tone of the festival.” tent and food vendors could be moved, maybe onto East.

But closing a major downtown street during a work week isn’t easy. Businesses do operate on East Avenue, and people need to be able to get to them.

The festival producers and city officials will figure out the crowd control, but let me bring up one other concern: tone.

Nugent’s talking about adding more events — but he says they’d likely be free outdoor-stage events. Ummm… I like the outdoor events. But they are trending more toward rock — or jazzy music so loud that it feels like rock. And while I’m all for as much rock as we can stage in the summer — and all for doing whatever we can to attract young adults — too many loud, rock-like events could change the tone of the Jazz Festival. This year, frankly, we seemed to be at a tipping point.

If I had one suggestion for Nugent and co-producer Marc Iacona, it would be this: don’t add any more rock-like acts.

They’re wonderful, and they’re important.

And they can attract people who may then check out the jazz. But Rochester has a lot of rock performances, particularly in the summer. The Jazz Festival is distinctive — and it can easily lose that, and lose an important audience, if it morphs into a celebration more akin to the East End Fest than a showcase for jazz.

Besides, attendance numbers aren’t more important than music quality and audience experience, right?

Jazz Fest sets another record

The Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival drew more than 180,000 people this year, setting a new record. The 10th anniversary of the nine-day festival included nearly 300 concerts and performances by artists Chris Botti, k.d. lang, Natalie Cole, and Elvis Costello.

Tentative teacher contract deal reached

RCSD Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas and Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski have reached a tentative agreement on a new teacher contract.

Though as many as 400 teachers could receive notices of termination, the number could be reduced to about 100 if the new contract is approved, Urbanski says. The new contract, which has to be approved by RTA members and the Board of Education, gives teachers a 3.53 salary increase in 2011-2012.

City park hit by ash borer

City employees found an emerald ash borer infestation in Upper Falls Park, as well as in the adjacent area on St. Paul.

Seventeen ash trees were

infested and one died, says a press release from the city. The emerald ash borer is a destructive invasive species: its larvae feed under a tree’s bark, cutting off the flow of water and nutrients.

Green closer to judgeship

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Monroe County District Attorney Mike Green’s nomination to the US District Court. The appointment must now be confirmed by the full Senate. Green would otherwise be up for re-election to DA this year. Democrats have nominated a placeholder candidate, pending Green’s confirmation.

For Pete’s sake

As of Tuesday afternoon, marriage equality was still stalled in the State Senate. Speculation was that the legislation was tangled-up with negotiations over rental-control laws and a property tax cap. The State Capitol was under siege by advocates on both sides of the issue. The Senate is apparently one vote shy of approving the legislation, should the bill ever make it to the floor.

Religious exemptions are apparently a sticking point for Republicans.

California artists Po Shu Wang and Louise Bertelsen of Living Lenses are creating a large sculpture for RMSC called “Traveling Through Stillness.” The sculpture will be the signature piece of RMSC’s part of ARTWalk II. PHOTO PROVIDED ARTS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

RMSC to buy large outdoor sculpture 2012 is looking like a banner year for the Rochester Museum and Science Center. RMSC will celebrate its centennial, and work on the museum’s part of ARTWalk II should be under way by then.

The work will take place on the East Avenue side of RMSC, which many people confuse as the main entrance. The current state of that side of the campus “does not do East Avenue proud,” says RMSC President Kate Bennett.

The main feature will be a sculpture called “Traveling Through Stillness” created by Living Lenses, an artist-

couple from California. The sculpture will be a large stainless-steel ring with overlapping open ends that taper into points. It will be situated on an angle on a black concrete base with a concentric circle design. Visitors will be able to strike the bell at the center of the base, and the sound will travel around the ring, representing humanity’s shared journey through space and time.

RMSC is buying the sculpture, which will cost about $100,000. The museum is fund raising now.

“We’re so happy to work with this artist couple,” Bennett says.

“It’s a perfect fit.”

The b e s t is on

meal

Also as part of the ARTWalk project, large shrubs on the corner of East Avenue and Goodman Street will be removed to increase the museum’s visibility. And an “Inventor’s Walk” featuring 10 Rochester inventions will be installed from East Avenue to the Planetarium. The wide sidewalk will have a braided rose border, and will be engraved with images and messages.

There will also be a large kaleidoscope on the museum’s second floor which will allow visitors to view shifting scenes on East Avenue.

Westside towns may study trail

Senate holds its water

Almost a decade ago, regional transportation planners laid out a detailed initiative to create a system of connected trails in the Rochester region. Their hope was that the trails would form a transportation network for bicyclists and pedestrians.

The plan included an inventory of existing trails and potential projects, including a possible 15-mile multi-use trail that would follow Black Creek through Chili and Riga.

But a big question confronts the trail proposal: Is it doable? The towns of Chili and Riga, as well as the Village of Churchville aim to find out: the municipalities plan to commission a feasibility study for the trail.

(The $72,000 cost would be covered mostly by Federal Highway Administration funding, with some local cash and in-kind contributions. The Chili Town Board and the Churchville Village Board approved the funding, but the Riga Town Board hasn’t voted yet.)

“It’s a natural corridor, it’s a natural divide, it’s a natural link between our communities,” says Chili Supervisor David Dunning.

He says he expects the feasibility study to result in a comprehensive report outlining assets and obstacles to developing the trail. For example, the creek is flood-prone in spots, so the report would take that into account.

The trail would connect the Village of Churchville to Black Creek Park and eventually to the Genesee Valley Greenway. The Greenway takes travelers north to the city or south David Dunning. to Letchworth PHOTO BY MIKE HANLON Park and beyond.

It also connects with other trails.

The regional trail network will keep growing.

Feasibility studies are under way for other trail projects, including possibly creating trails along the east bank of the Genesee River in Irondequoit and Rochester, and expanding the Auburn Trail from Farmington to Canandaigua.

The latter trail would pass through Seneca Park and connect to the El Camino trail in the city.

These projects are all transportationoriented, meaning they’re meant to move people from place to place without the use of cars. Local planning officials often invoke the concept of a bicycle freeway: cyclists start at one point, take trails as close as they can to their destination, and use streets to finish their trips.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Questions, politics plague schools renovation project

Principal Tim Mains (left) and Tom Rogér, program director of RSMP construction, show building plans to fourth graders at School 50.

PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

City school district officials covered the walls of a room in the Josh Lofton building with photos of all city schools, and color-coded 3-by-5 cards neatly taped under each photo listed planned improvements for that building. District planners spent months brainstorming what each of the aging buildings needed to transform into 21st century schools.

That was five years, three superintendents, and one mayor ago. It’s taken that long to get to the point where architects are designing building additions, kitchens, and gymnasiums — about $6 million has already been spent on architects and engineers.

If everything proceeds as it’s supposed to, construction will begin next summer on the $325-million first phase of the $1.2 billion Rochester Schools Modernization Program. It is the largest construction project in the city’s history, and the city, school district, and taxpayers have much at stake.

Given the current financial environment, RSMP could be a onetime opportunity to use state funds to improve city schools and to give some neighborhoods a much-needed boost.

But the challenges surrounding this monumental undertaking are nearly as large as the project itself. The latest hurdle has to do with a conflict over the initial borrowing needed for the project. As of earlier this week, a bill proposed by City

JUNE 22-28, 2011

Senator Joe Robach and approved by the State Senate was at odds with an Assemblyapproved bill sponsored by Assembly member David Gantt. If the differences aren’t resolved this week, the RSMP could suffer a major setback.

But even if the concerns with the Gantt and Robach bills are resolved, there are other questions around RSMP: is there consensus on which schools should be improved? And will parents, students, and residents be convinced that their tax dollars are being used prudently? The answers may determine whether RSMP continues beyond its first phase.

There’s little disagreement about the

condition of many of Rochester’s schools.

More than half of the buildings, which are

owned by the city, are more than 75 years old, and many need major improvements.

Some are in such bad shape it would cost more to improve than to replace them.

And to complicate matters, some schools no longer operate at their original capacity: district enrollment declined from nearly 40,000 students in 1995 to 32,000 today. There may barely be 30,000 students enrolled in the district by the time the first phase of RSMP is completed, which means fewer schools would be needed.

All of this had to be considered in creating a RSMP master plan to submit to the State Education Department and comptroller’s office for approval, says Tom Rogér, of Gilbane/Savin, the construction and engineering firm heading the project.

Rogér is RSMP program director and oversees the project.

Twelve schools and a district-wide technology upgrade were identified for the first phase, and improvements for each school had to be explained and budgeted in the master plan. A major concern in the school selection criteria — which schools to improve first and what work should be tackled — was based on how much would be reimbursed by the state.

The maximum reimbursement rate is 98 cents on the dollar, says Rogér, and the highest reimbursement is reserved for work closest to classrooms. The rate of reimbursement decreases from there, even though many buildings need renovations that are less reimbursable.

“The most complicated part of the project is the financial component,” Rogér says.

“Our biggest problem was picking the right combination of projects.”

The district will be reimbursed for 85 percent of the total costs for the project’s first phase, he says.

After multiple assessments of all 52 city schools: Schools 5, 12, 17, 28, 50, 58, Charlotte, Jefferson, Monroe, East, Edison, and Franklin were chosen for the first phase. And of those 12, six are already in the architectural design phase, with construction work scheduled to begin next summer. Those schools are 17, 28, 50, 58, Charlotte, and Franklin.

Though the master plan gave general descriptions of proposed improvements to each school, specific designs still need to be sent to the State Education Department for another approval in the fall.

“This is where it gets down to the nittygritty,” says Jerome Underwood, senior director of operations for the district.

Underwood is also a member of the Rochester Joint Schools Construction Board: the city and school district task force charged with overseeing RSMP. A building advisory committee was created for each of the six schools to provide broader input into individual building work. School principals, key staff, parents, residents, and community groups make up each group, and six architects have been hired, one for each school, to work with the groups on design plans. City planning and zoning officials have also participated in some BAC meetings.

“These are all people who have a vested interest in the redevelopment of that school,” Underwood says. “We have a budget that we have to stay within, so they work with lists of ‘must haves’ and ‘like to haves.’ It’s understood that everybody is not going to get 100 percent of what they want, and that’s sobering.”

The first six schools have some improvements unique to each site, but what many have in common is a reconfiguration of grades. Most of the elementary schools are being reconfigured

from K-6 to K-8 schools, increasing space requirements in certain schools.

“Taking a group of elementary schools and converting them to K-8 schools represents a major change,” Rogér says.

“By putting 7th and 8th graders back into elementary schools, you’re imposing design requirements that can’t easily be accommodated in most elementary schools.”

For example, science labs are needed for middle-school students, and some cafeterias and gymnasiums need to be enlarged. And some sites require more parking.

Also, School 58 will go from K-6 to K12, and Charlotte High School will need to accommodate a new all-boys school with its co-ed high school.

Other factors have to be taken into consideration, too, such as the historical significance of some buildings.

Both Rogér and Underwood say that getting

to the design phase for the first six schools is a major milestone. (The remaining six schools will begin design in the fall.)

But neighborhood reactions to some of the proposed improvements have been mixed.

School 17’s site, for example, has little space and it is converting to a K-8 school.

The school houses a health clinic that provides both medical and dental services to about 3,000 students a year, Rogér says, and those services need to remain in the building.

And it has a small gym on the second floor.

Nearby residents would like to see an improved gym that is more accessible to the public.

“But where can we add space?” Rogér says.

City Hall is looking into acquiring a nearby lot to provide space for an addition to the school.

A somewhat similar situation exists with School 50, where space is also tight and the school is converting to K-8. A two-story

addition is needed to accommodate a new cafeteria, more students, and a better gym.

The city is looking into acquiring a nearby lot for School 50, too.

But the most resistance to modernization plans came from residents near School 28, where a proposal to eliminate housing on Amsterdam Street alarmed residents. The school, which is also converting to K-8, needs additional classroom space and more parking.

“There was a huge groundswell of opposition,” Rogér says. “But we met with residents and we’re not acquiring any property. No homes are being demolished.”

Adding a third story or building an addition in the school’s parking lot are under consideration instead. Principal Susan Ladd says that residents at a recent meeting were relieved to hear that news.

Another problem that caused community-wide concern had to do more with planning than design. It involved using Schools 2 and 6 for swing space: somewhere for students to go while their schools are under construction. But the plan called for the permanent closure of Schools 2 and 6, which drew a storm of protests from parents.

That plan was abandoned.

Instead, students will be temporarily relocated to district buildings at 690 St. Paul Street, Hart Street, and John Marshall High School.

Still, some city and school district officials

are not convinced that RSMP is on the right track. City Council member Dana Miller says there’s not enough public awareness about the project. Though there have been numerous public meetings since RSMP’s inception in the mid 2000’s, the project has had multiple pauses and restarts, which may have caused some residents to lose sight of its significance, Miller says.

And Council President Lovely Warren has concerns with the criteria used for selecting the first 12 schools.

“I don’t feel for whatever reason that they did a good job of selecting the schools in the first phase geographically,” she says.

“Northeast Rochester’s schools have the greatest need.”

There are four schools in the northeast section of the city included in the first phase, but Warren says that some of the worst schools in the northeast weren’t chosen. For example, she questions whether the $44 million in improvements slated for School 58 is a good decision. She would have preferred to see more investment in Freddie Thomas, she says, and she would support relocating School 58 to Freddie Thomas, a school that already has available space and wouldn’t require additions.

Rochester school board member Allen Williams questions why more of the district’s oldest schools aren’t first in line for renovations. In his view, the schools modernization legislation was written to address the needs of the city’s oldest schools, which tend to be in worse shape.

But former Superintendent JeanClaude Brizard made reconfiguration of the schools to K-8 as important as the condition of the buildings.

“When Jean-Claude Brizard came in, he said, ‘My academic vision should drive the renovations,’” Williams says. “But Schools 5, 12, and 28 are some of the district’s newer buildings, and they are in better shape.”

Age and condition were not the only criteria for selecting the first-phase schools.

Though School 28, for instance, is a newer school, and it is in better shape than some northeast schools, it is one of three with asbestos. The asbestos abatement concern pushed it to the top of the list.

But Williams’ concerns about changes in direction of RSMP may be valid. Both Superintendent Brizard and former Mayor Bob Duffy had strong visions for the project, but neither is involved with the project today.

Both Council President Warren and Williams say they are also concerned about reconfiguring elementary schools to K-8.

“My concern with the K-8 model is that 10 to 20 years ago, we decided the best way of educating 7th and 8th graders was through middle schools,” Williams says, adding that he’s concerned about spending money on changes that some experts would argue is just another education trend.

But some district and city officials may find common ground in RSMP’s potential to revive the neighborhood schools model.

The district’s current school choice policy has contributed to the decline of some city neighborhoods, Warren says, remembering a time when her grandmother walked her and other members of her family to school.

“You knew everybody in your neighborhood,” Warren says.

The completed upgrade of School 33 is considered by many to be the model RSMP should follow. The $35-million project combined the school, a library, and a recreation center, and Warren says it’s an example of how school improvements can greatly reinvigorate a neighborhood.

The Ryan Center is a community draw for neighbors near its Webster Avenue location, she says .

“If you go there anytime in the afternoon, especially during the summer, you have kids going to and from there,” she says. “That’s because people are feeling safe and free to come outside.”

Dining

Boulder Coffee has snapped up two of the former Spin Caffe locations, including the one on Park Ave (pictured). PhotoS by MATT DETURCK

A new Spin on Boulder [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

When Spin Caffe unexpectedly closed its three locations (739 Park Ave., 2 State St., and 229 Mill St.) in February, fans of the local coffee chain were shocked and left wondering how long the spaces left behind would remain vacant. Fortunately the wait was short for the Park Avenue and State Street locations, which were swiftly picked up by Lyjha Wilton, owner of another local coffee-shop chain, Boulder Coffee Company. The State Street location opened in early May under the name Java Joe’s (Wilton acquired the name when he purchased the former Java Joe’s business at the Rochester Public Market) because Wilton did not feel its location — in the lobby of the Crossroads Building — was suited for the Boulder Coffee Company brand. The Park Ave location opened its doors last week, officially making it the fourth Boulder Coffee Company (the other locations are 100 Alexander St., 955 Genesee St., and 1 Public Market).

“People who know me have known that I have wanted to put a Boulder on Park for a really long time,” says Wilton. “So this is a really exciting time.”

For the past two months — which have probably felt twice as long for Park Ave patrons missing their regular java joint — Wilton has been making a variety of cosmetic changes to the former Spin space that he refers to as “the Boulder touch.” Those touches include tiled walls, new kitchen floors, stage lighting, and, most importantly, “more cozy nooks for people to hide away,” Wilton says.

Wilton has kept the tried-and-true menu the same as his other Boulder Coffee Company menus, featuring an extensive

selection of coffees, teas, espressos, and smoothies, as well as paninis, wraps, salads, and breakfast sandwiches. The one food change he is bringing to the new location on a trial basis is a selection of desserts from local bakeries, including cheesecake, tiramisu, tortes, and pastries — items with shorter shelf lives than the traditional coffeehouse fare of scones, cookies, and biscotti.

Live entertainment and alcohol — which are available at other Boulder locations — are also in the plans for the near future; Wilton has applied and is waiting for his entertainment and liquor licenses. As for Wilton’s future plans, he claims he does not currently have any additional Boulder locations in his sights, but will likely spread out to the suburbs next.

“I’m starting to run out of spots in the city to put them,” he says with a laugh.

The new Boulder Coffee Company is located at 739 Park Ave. It is open daily 7 a.m.-11 p.m., though weekend hours will expand once the liquor and entertainment licenses are approved. For more information, call 697-0235 or visit bouldercoffeeco.com.

Festival postponed

The Taste of Rochester festival, which was scheduled to take place in Downtown Rochester Friday, June 24-Saturday, June 25, has been postponed until June 2012. Tom Tarry, president of the Syracuse-based Results Group that organizes the festival, stated that the event is being given a makeover and will return next year with a new format. For more information visit mytasteofrochester.com.

Unlimited doubled

If you own a successful jewelry store, the obvious next step is to open a restaurant.

Well, maybe not. But that’s what Jacqueline Rae Hayton, owner of Unlimited Gold, did a couple months ago when she opened Unlimited Seafood next door to her jewelry shop. The new restaurant serves a variety of seafood at affordable prices to the northwest section of Rochester.

The menu offers diners the choice of ordering dinners (which come with French fries, soda, plus a choice of two additional sides) or ordering seafood fried by the pound. Selections include fried haddock, shrimp, scallops, chicken tenders, and wings. The same items can also be ordered by the pound instead, along with fried crab cakes and hush puppies. Side dishes include potato salad, mac salad, and coleslaw, along with homemade soups and salads. Collard greens with ham hocks and oxtail soup (both served with corn bread) are also on the menu. The restaurant is currently suited for to-go service, with very limited seating, but Hayton is exploring the possibility of expanding in the near future.

Unlimited Seafood is located at 1462 Dewey Ave. Prices range from $5 to $13. It is open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. For more information, call 458-8590.

A meal, a beer, and a song

Lombardi’s Bar and Grill opened a couple of

months ago in the location formerly housed by Stucko’s Bar and Grill, across the street from the longstanding Savoia Pastry Shoppe. The

restaurant and bar offers an extensive menu of Italian and American dishes along with a variety of pub grub. Chef Anthony DiPasquale has included some specialty items on the menu like an appetizer called the Bocce Ball, an extreme-sized (literally the size of a bocce ball) handmade meatball smothered in his signature red sauce ($4.99), the Billy Burger topped with American cheese and a fried egg ($7.99), and homemade pasta classics like gnocchi, ravioli, and lasagna (all $10.99). A Friday fish fry is also offered, as well as 35 cent wings on Wednesdays and a musical dessert on Thursdays, which is karaoke night at the bar. The restaurant is equally dedicated to its bar identity and offers an extensive selection of beers, wines and specialty drinks.

Lombardi’s Bar and Grill is located at 2260 Clifford Ave. Prices range from $6 to $16. It is open Monday-Tuesday 11 a.m.midnight and Wednesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-2 a.m. For more information, visit the restaurant’s page on Facebook.

Closings

The Victor location of the national chain Naked Pizza (202 High Point Drive), which opened its doors in November 2010, has closed due to unexplained reasons. In an email the chain’s co-founder, Robbie Vitrano, stated: “We’re in talks with a few folks about the [Rochester] market but nothing is confirmed. We love Rochester and hope to find the right partner there.” For more information, visit nakedpizza.com.

AACTFest 2011:

the play’s the thing R

ochester is a theater town, although you might be surprised by just how dramatic it can be. The average resident can easily name Geva Theatre Center, our professional regional theater. Most people are aware of Rochester Broadway Theatre League, which brings touring Broadway shows (and more) to the Auditorium Theatre. Those in on the scene can probably name Blackfriars Theatre, JCC CenterStage, maybe Pittsford Musicals, Rochester Community Players, or some of the smaller groups that perform at MuCCC. But all told, at least 30 community-theater groups call the Greater Rochester area home, a testament to this area’s strength in the arts.

These groups put on everything from fan-favorite musicals to melodramas, experimental drama to Gilbert & Sullivan works, murder mysteries to children’s productions. There is a lot of live theater in Rochester to explore.

This week there will be even more, as AACTFest 11 brings approximately 400 community-theater associates to Rochester through June 26. AACTFest is the national conference for the American Association of Community Theatre. It is a biennial event that draws participants from theater groups from across the country, as well as US from armed services groups serving abroad.

(One of the presenting companies this year is a military group stationed in Mons, Belgium). AACTFest 11 marks the first time the festival has been held in New York State. While communitytheater managers, directors, designers, actors, and others have been in town since Monday, taking in workshops on stage fighting, volunteer management, harness flying, and much more, local theater lovers will be most interested in the performance portion of the festival running at Geva Wednesday, June 22, through Saturday, June 25. This is an

opportunity to catch award-winning work from theater groups from all over the country right in your backyard, and best of all, tickets are incredibly cheap.

To get better acquainted with the local theater scene, more information is available in the accompanying community-theater guide.

Getting AACTFest to Rochester is the

culmination of more than two years of work by various people involved with the Theatre Association of New York State.

TANYS — assisted by Visit Rochester — competed against at least 30 other cities interested in hosting the festival, and officially got the nod after an in-person pitch to the AACT board in Atlanta in February 2009. It came down to Rochester and cities in Indiana and Minnesota.

Rochester won out because of experience, says Ruth Legg, co-chair of AACTFest 11 along with Joan Luther.

“We sold them on the city of Rochester.

We had Geva, we had all this good stuff lined up. We were the group that had the most festival experience. TANYS runs the state theater festival every year.

I had chaired four of those, and one regional festival. We said, ‘OK, here’s what your festival is going to look like in Rochester.’ We played on our experience and that made all the difference.”

AACTFest has several components.

Since Monday, June 20, a technicaltheater conference has been taking place at Roberts Wesleyan College, and a theater-management conference has been running at the Radisson downtown. A

more general conference will kick off Wednesday, June 22. The workshops are open to the public, and cover such topics as “Bring Joy, Power, and Passion to Your Singing,” “Dare to Be Different: Direct a Musical You’ve Never Seen,” “The Race Card: The Cultural Relevance of Theatre,” “Music Rights: Are You in Compliance?” and “Victorian Hats on a Budget,” among others.

The festival also includes a variety of activities, like a boat tour on the Erie Canal, picnic, cocktail parties, a closingnight gala, and an awards show. Early in the process of developing the local event, there had been talk of street performances and other interactive activities with the public, but those did not materialize.

Still, Julie Crawford, executive director of the Ft. Worth, Texas-based AACT, says: “There is nothing like a national festival. It is so exciting. Community-theater people come from all over, and they’re friendly folks. Come out and see a show and talk with the people you meet. Take a chance and say hello, find other theater people from other parts of the country, and see how great they are.”

The performance sessions will feature

a wide range of works, from musicals (the now-ubiquitous “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” by a troupe out of Spokane) to classic drama (Edward Albee’s “The Zoo Story” by a Delaware group) to some interesting experimental fare. One show both Legg and Crawford recommend is the production of Anton Chekhov’s “The

All of the performances presented at AACT have won their state and regional theater competitions, so the

talent has been vetted. Additionally, each performance will be critiqued by three adjudicators, who will share their comments with the performers and the audience. “It’s a full theater experience,” Legg says.

Rochester community-theater guide Rochester is home to literally dozens of community-theater organizations that stage productions featuring the on- and off-stage talents of area residents. Below find brief descriptions of many of these groups. If we inadvertently missed your group, please e-mail eric@rochester-citynews.com and we will add it to the online version of this piece at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

Artists Unlimited has existed for 10 years, “bringing the theater and performing experience to teens and adults who are physically and developmentally disabled,” according to its website. It specializes in Broadway shows like “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Beauty and the Beast,” and most performances take place at the German House.

Current President Steve Pasquarella says, “We combine individuals who have disabilities with actors who don’t, and it has really fostered some valuable friendships.” The next Artists Unlimited performance will be “Annie” in November 2011. Visit rocartistsunlimited.com for production and audition information.

Black Sheep Theatre was founded in 2006. Past performances included “Harvey,” “Lysistrata,” and an annual Agatha Christie mystery. “We try to stick with simple sets and let the work of the actors move the story along,” says Kevin Swift, the theater’s artistic co-director and technical director. Black Sheep’s performances take place in a small, black-box style theater at Village Gate. Black Sheep also conducts a summer program for teens with an interest in the theater.

Its next show is yet to be announced, but news is posted regularly at kalidastheater.org.

Everyone is welcome to audition or volunteer.

Magical Journey Thru Stages, or simply Stages, is Rochester’s only year-round youth theater.

Each cast is made up of Rochester youth, from fourth to 12th grade, and most of the tech crew and orchestra pit are teens. Stages also offers workshops where young actors, musicians, and technicians can build their skills. The group will start their fourth year in the fall with a musical called “Working.” The group’s website is mjtstages.com, or you can e-mail the group at stages@mjtstages.com for information and a 2011-2012 audition schedule.

Method Machine is a sort of “gypsy company,” according to Director and founder David Henderson. “We have performed everywhere — at MuCCC, the Garth Fagan Dance Theater, at hair salons, bars, coffee shops.”

Since 2007 Method Machine has performed many new plays, as well as unique classics.

Past productions have included Tennessee Williams’ “Something Cloudy Something Clear” this past May and “The Lipstick Massacre” starring local drag performer Pandora Boxx.

Method Machine plans to perform “Angels in America” next fall. Follow Method Machine at methodmachine.org or its Facebook group.

Monsignor Schnacky Community Players have developed a specialty in musical melodrama for the past 30 years. The troupe is centered in Saint Catherine’s Church, and puts on shows written by parishioners, as well as lesser-known plays like its most recent, “Heaven Help the Po’ Taters.” The shows are directed by Kathy and Travis Piper, who are always looking for people who want to get involved. Updates on the group’s upcoming schedule can be found at saintcath.org/play.

Mystery Company, LLC has been performing murder-mystery theater in hotels, restaurants, party houses, and for public events for 21 years. In the summer the actors put on a trainrobbing series in Old Forge. “This is a realistic train robbery right out of the 1860’s, where cowboys board the train, actors interact with the audience, and there is even a final shootout,” says director and founder Debbie Lestz Teahan. Auditions are limited. The group keeps its Facebook page updated with pictures and news, and you can also find more information by visiting mysterycompany.net.

NTID Performing Arts was founded in 1974, and presents productions featuring students, faculty, and staff from the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, as well as community members. NTID shows feature both hearing and deaf performers and crew members, and each performance is presented simultaneously in ASL and spoken English. Its most recent season featured the play “Prelude to a Kiss,” the musical “Guys & Dolls,” and the dance performance “Danser et Voler,” among others.

Off-Monroe Players has spent the past 30 years performing the work of only two men, W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic operas were written between 1871 and 1876 and include “The Pirates of Penzance” and “H.M.S. Pinafore.” The Off-Monroe Players performs most of its shows at Salem United Church of Christ.

The next show will be “The Mikado” in the fall.

Auditions will be held on August 16 and 17. Check out off-monroeplayers.org for more information.

Out-of-Pocket Productions is unique in that its performances are used to raise money for other organizations, such as Lollypop Farm, the beneficiary from its production of “Sylvia.” Director and founder Stephanie Roosa started the organization two years ago, and has brought performances to Geva’s Nextstage and other venues. Upcoming performances are still being decided on, but you can check the group’s Facebook page or visit theatrerocs.org for news and updates.

Penfield Players perform three shows a year, with performances ranging from melodramas to family-oriented shows and murder mysteries.

The group was started in 1965. This past season the Players performed Neil Simon’s “Sunshine Boys” and Alan Ayckbourn’s “Communicating Doors” in the Penfield Recreation Center. Their next show will be “Strictly Murder” in the fall, and ticket information and audition notices can be found at penfieldplayers.org.

Pittsford Musicals is a long-standing communitytheater group focused on classic musicals. Artistic Director John Hennessey led the group through a production of “Annie” last season, and plans on doing “Oliver” next fall and “Chicago” next spring.

The group performs at Pittsford Mendon High School and Calkins Road Middle School. Its production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Company” runs through June 25. Check out pittsfordmusicals.org for info on tickets, auditions, and upcoming performances.

PUSH Physical Theatre is hard to describe, and even harder to pinpoint, says cofounder and Director Darren Stevenson.

“It can range from circus acrobatics to physical-based acting, and we are somewhere in the middle. Our performances are somewhat like dance but follow a narrative structure as opposed to music,” he says.

2002, The Trews signed with Sony and had a No. 1 single off its debut album. On Thursday, the popular Nova Scotians bring their radio-friendly alt-rock to Water Street as they tour to support their most recent album, “Hope and Ruin.” The band’s high-octane, post-grunge platform sounds silly in comparison to its sophomoric lyrics. But the live performances have garnered good reviews.

Some of the tracks off the new album sound a little something like the Rascal Flatts on speed, with singer-guitarist Colin MacDonald’s vocal range falling somewhere between a rockier Ryan Adams and a sleepy Chris Cornell. If you miss The Nerve, go see The Trews. Honestly. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

Dispatches from the Jazz Blog, Pt. 2 [ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE AND RON NETSKY

Bill Frisell’s “Beautiful Dreamers” started

like the universe, with primordial soup. At Kilbourn Hall Thursday night Frisell, violist Eyvind Kang, and drummer Rudy Royston hit a few notes and beats here and there until a combination of them gelled into melodies and rhythms that soon began to multiply.

On the first two pieces Frisell and Kang both used electronic devices to manipulate their sounds and, in some cases, speed up, slow down, or repeat what they played.

These kinds of devices are used fairly commonly by musicians in studio sessions and performances, but few players use them with the kind of in-the-moment abandon of Frisell. The second half of the set was pretty much gadget-free and I found it to be the more fluid and satisfying half of the concert. Sometimes Frisell and Kang would find themselves playing in unison, a big sound they both seemed to enjoy. It all built to the final tune of the set in which all three musicians fell into a wonderful groove and stayed there, building on each other’s parts, for a deliciously long time. (RN) Friday night I saw what will go down as one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Elvis Costello and the Imposters played Kodak Hall for three hours. Three hours!

The band took the stage at 8 p.m. and it was 11 p.m. when it tore through

“(What’s So Funny About) Peace, Love, and Understanding,” its final tune in an extra-long list of Costello gems.

Costello was in rare form, strutting out on stage and diving right into the music.

Three songs in and Costello swapped his summer straw for a top hat and cane as he morphed into a carnival barker. The main attraction was the ginormous wheel — “The Spectacular Spinning Songbook” — that had more than 40 songs spanning his career listed on it. Costello’s lovely assistant fished members out of the audience to spin the wheel. Whatever song it landed on would determine the next selection played.

The hits just kept coming: “Watching The Detectives,” “Mystery Dance,” “Every Day I Write The Book,” “Radio Radio,” “I Don’t Want To Go To Chelsea,” and so on. After what appeared to be the end of the show, Costello returned to the stage in a fresh jacket to work thought some solo numbers on guitar and piano. This is where the songwriting genius came though, as he punctuated his own songs with classics that pre-dated his music and perhaps inspired it. It was cool to hear “Pump It Up” detour into Ray Charles’ “I’m Busted,” “Spooky Girlfriend” into The Fab Four’s “Girl,” and so on. Now that was a show. (FD)

could be a real ego thing,” Ponterio says. “[For us] the tone is already to go to, ‘How are we all together on this?’ Because whatever you offer, you get a reflection back from everyone else.”

“It’s hard for me to talk to other musicians,” Frederick says, “because I’m so used to working with these guys.”

Even the band’s recording process is egalitarian. The band’s 2010 single “The Side” was mixed while members of the band were studying abroad — Gasper in New Zealand and Frederick in Holland. The band recorded the instrumentals together, but everything else for the single was recorded separately and sent to Frederick to assemble into the eventual threesong single that can be found on iTunes.

The band members’ improvisational backgrounds and ability to adapt lends itself to working with what they have. When Frederick wasn’t able to play drums on the group’s newest effort, the freely downloadable, “pretty much live” EP “Meltdown,” Gasper filled in behind the drum kit. The members switch instrumental roles during recording based on the songwriter and for what instrument it was written.

Striving for the spirit Black Elk Speaks speakingelk.com myspace.com/bespeaks [ PROFILE ] BY ANDY KLINGENBERGER

Black Elk, historically, was a holy man from the Lakota tribe who lived in the 19th to 20th centuries. A book recounting his life was released in 1932, and it is from that book’s title that Rochester band Black Elk Speaks found inspiration for its moniker.

The connection to the man that the band takes its name from is, at first glance, tenuous at best. “I’d been reading the book in my Native-American literature class,” says bassist John Gasper when asked how the group settled on their name. Beyond that, the band doesn’t claim any deeper bond with the Native-American holy man. “It’s not like we’re mystics, but we all have an affinity for nature.”

In addition to Gasper, the group also includes Jack Frederick on drums and Gavin Price and Nick Ponterio on guitars; everyone in the band contributes to the vocals to some extent. The current version of the band started taking shape while its members were attending SUNY Geneseo in 2007. They claim to have started the band not because of a shared like of the same music; instead their “common denominator was theater,” says 16 City JUNE 22-28, 2011

Price. “Even more than theater it was improv.

We were all comfortable with improvising as actors…and we were all musicians naturally, so we started from there.”

Since then the band has released two EPs, a single, and a full-length album — none of which sound particularly like the others. The members’ personal influences are far reaching, ranging from hip-hop to David Bowie to Woody Guthrie to dubstep. While those disparate elements don’t all appear in the music, the band sounds equally adept at a garage-blues cover of Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” as it does at the building jam “Fukushima.”

With no clear influences, songwriting for the

band tends to be collaborative in nature. “Almost all of our songs were written from nothing but us jamming, coming up with songs on the spot and then shaping them later,” says Gasper. “We come up with the shape of the song and then everyone adds their own personality to it.”

“We’re all very respectful of each other’s musical parts,” Price adds.

Ponterio is quick to agree: “A lot of times somebody has a lyric or an idea and throws it out there, and somebody else very quickly has a response to that. It gets hard to say who did what.”

For a band where everyone contributes equally, there is no trace of ego. “When we talk about adding personality, in a band that

With half of the band already living in New

York City, that type of separate collaboration and subsequent building of songs is becoming more commonplace for the group. But it also makes it difficult for the foursome to rehearse, as well as book shows. “It’s tough because John and I work during the week, and [Gavin and Jack] work weekends,” says Ponterio. “We would all have to coordinate one week off of work and it would culminate in one show. We’re trying to figure out how to make that achieve the highest impact.”

But the band is determined not to make the distance a deterrent. “Even if we can’t be in the same room, we all have Black Elk Speaks songs that we’re working on,” says Ponterio.

While it might not be able to rehearse those songs as much as the members would like, the band is still considering its next move. “We’re very much on the ‘do-ityourself ’ spectrum,” Gasper says. “Now that we have our style, we’re trying to figure out how to get it off the ground. Where do we go from here?”

It may not take long for them to figure it out. With Gasper considering making the move to New York himself, and Ponterio not adverse to the idea, there may be a more-thantemporary reunion on the horizon. The band’s sound makes it accessible to a wide range of fans; its members’ ability to cull from each other enhances their performances.

“There’s a thing in improv called ‘group mind,’” says Ponterio. “That’s the ideal state of performing — when you’re really able to hook in with other people and read each other’s thoughts. We’re striving for that spirit.” Maybe the band has more in common with Black Elk than it lets on.

BLUES/ROCK | Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Grace Potter & The Nocturnals recall a Southern barroom, bluesy feeling on the band’s 2010 self-titled album.

You can feel the sawdust and peanut shells under your feet when listening to its charging rock riffs and Potter’s commanding vocals. Depending on what the situation warrants, Potter can sound like Alison Mosshart of The Kills or Patty Griffin, and there are very few that can do that well. Live, the band loses some of the studio sheen that has made it more accessible to a wider audience. But this is still a band that knows how to write a catchy hook, and that always translates well.

COUNTRY | TIM MCGRAW With 3.6 million likes on Facebook, Tim McGraw may not need too much of an introduction. Chances are you or some lady at your workplace will swoon at the sound of his name. The Grammy Award-winning singer and actor has dominated country charts and was named the top touring country artist of 2010

by Billboard. This year, McGraw and his band the Dancehall Doctors are taking the Emotional Traffic Tour on the road. A new album sharing that name was recorded last year, but has not been released due to a legal battle with McGraw’s label. Yet in typical McGraw style there is some delicious lemonade to be made from that lemon — fans will be able to hear some of those highly anticipated new songs from the unreleased disc in concert. With Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.

Tim McGraw plays Saturday, June 25, 7:00 p.m. at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, Darien Center. $28-$73.75. godarienlake.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

ALT-ROCK | THE FLAMING LIPS Seeing The Flaming Lips live in concert is a great spectacle.

Whether it’s the band emerging from a 30-foot vagina, or it’s front-man Wayne Coyne rolling about onstage within a clear plastic sphere, the flamboyant act is an integral part of the attraction. Yet while there is no shortage of outlandish stage decorations, that alone can’t sustain a band working over the course of nearly three decades. Utilizing a mix of its vast, eclectic catalogue of spacey alternative rock-psychedelic pop, The Flaming Lips have adapted to the times and remained relevant.

The band has elevated its live show to an art form; this is a band you’ll be sorry to miss. With The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger.

Click. Click. Click. The explosive, powerhouse configuration of A Wilhelm Scream is an unrelenting rollercoaster joyride that takes listeners to the brink, with no one element specifically at the helm. The music is in safe and capable hands, complete with dueling guitars, punishing rhythms, and harrowing analytical lyrics, which walk the finest of lines between bromantic harmonies and unexpected call-andresponse complexity. It’s a welcome excuse to strap in and enjoy the twists, turns, and brain-rattling drops. Summer People, Gunnar Stahl, and Alberto Alaska share the bill, which includes a summer Sunday punk-rock BBQ.

“Company” presents another interesting

The cast of Pittsford Musicals’ “Company,” running through this weekend at Calkins Road Middle School. PHOTO PROVIDED

Single laddies “Company”

By Pittsford Musicals Through June 25 Calkins Road Middle School, 1899 Calkins Road Fri 8 p.m., Sat 2 & 8 p.m. | $15-$22 586-1500, pittsfordmusicals.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

The current production of “Company” brings about several major steps for Pittsford Musicals. First, according to Artistic Director John Hennessey’s program notes, it is the first spring musical in the group’s 40-plus years, the start of “what we hope will be a new chapter in Pittsford Musicals’ history — presenting a full season of theatre.” Second, it signals a more ambitious approach to play selection for the community-theater group.

Looking back at Pittsford Musicals’ history, you’ll see productions that are almost exclusively from the Golden Age of Broadway — titles like “Mame,” “Carousel,” “42nd Street,” and “Hello, Dolly!” pop up several times. Pittsford Musicals has done well by the classics for nearly half a century, but in Stephen Sondheim’s “Company,” which debuted in 1970, it proves

that it is a troupe with the chops to pull off more challenging, modern works.

The selection of “Company” was actually somewhat prescient. The show is suddenly everywhere; in addition to this production, Geva Theatre will present the musical as part of its 2011-2012 season, and in April the New York Philharmonic did a version of the show starring Neil Patrick Harris that was filmed and then debuted in select national movie theaters just last week. Talk about being part of the zeitgeist.

The show starts off with Robert (or Bobby, Robby, or Bubby, depending on who’s singing), a single man celebrating his 35th birthday surrounded by his very married friends. Robert’s wedded friends are concerned about his lonely existence, but Robert argues that he’s just fine being by himself. The show watches as he juggles three very different girlfriends and sits back in a mixture of bemusement and horror as he watches his coupled friends squabble and squirm in their relationships. Despite the messy realities of modern marriage, Robert eventually realizes that living alone isn’t really living at all, and starts to reexamine his personal beliefs on love and marriage, and seriously consider why he has yet to find either.

change for Pittsford Musicals. The previous efforts I’ve seen by the troupe have included a large cast with an ample — and usually very good — chorus. This production features just 14 cast members. There are certainly other opportunities for community involvement (the orchestra, led by Harold McAulliffe, is one of the best I have heard), but that’s a relatively small cast for this group.

A smaller cast means that every member has to be strong — especially in a show as musically demanding as “Company” — and almost all of the actors live up to the challenge. Scott Shutts plays Robert, and he is very believable in the role, conveying Robert’s logical responses to his friends’ emotional pleas, his exasperation at their meddling, his frustration with the sometimes mindboggling dating scene, and his eventual acknowledgement of his personal failings.

Shutts also has a terrific voice, one that fills the auditorium and easily handles the wide range the part requires.

The show’s married couples are made up of talented local actors, several of whom possess serious comedic abilities and impressive voices — and in some cases, both. All do a solid job, but there are some standouts. Susan Milner charms in the role of nitpicking mother hen Sarah, and her combative but loving rapport with Harry (Roy Wise) rings true. Kristin Mellema absolutely kills it in her big scene as bride-in-crisis Amy, including her flawless performance in “Getting Married Today,” which is filled with strings of staccato lyrics that fly by so fast that Kanye West would admit defeat. Sharon Bayer is perfect as boozy husband-collector Joanne, and dominates the stage in her big torch song, “The Ladies Who Lunch.”

The three young women who portray Robert’s love interests — Mary Ann Rothkowski, Lauren MacDonough, and Julianna Meyer — have some really sweet moments opposite Shutts, and some strong individual songs. They share the number “You Could Drive a Person Crazy,” and while it’s fun and kicky, the harmonies were off during the performance I attended.

The show as a whole zips by, and does not feel anything like its two-plus-hour runtime. The opening number, “Company,” which is filled with those signature Sondheim musical quirks, was a bit rocky, but the show quickly found its footing.

The only other time the cast showed even a hint of struggle was in the very demanding “Side by Side” number. I appreciate the troupe’s ambition, but there were a lot of tricks involved in the choreography by Shelly West Thompson for that song, and only about three-quarters of them hit.

ART EVENT | FOOD IS ART DEUX

If you’re a fan of the Food Network’s countless competitive culinary programs, you know that the presentation of edibles is just about as important as the taste. Last December, Rochester Contemporary Art Center hosted “Food is Art,” an epicurean event for the most discerning of tastes, which was so popular that tickets sold out in two weeks. The enthusiastic guests devoured beautifully designed treats like the pate sampler (pictured) by Max Chophouse. So an encore performance was in order, this time with new players.

“Food Is Art Deux: Summer” will take place Monday, June 27, 6-8 p.m. at Rochester Contemporary (137 East Ave.).

Taste Rochester’s finest cuisine, and meet the culinary artists behind the creations. Participating restaurants and culinary artists include Max of Eastman Place, Tapas 177, Orange Glory, Henry B’s, New York Wine & Culinary Center, Flight Wine Bar, Edibles, and Bona Fide Coffee. Gift certificates for each restaurant will be offered in a silent auction.

Only 90 tickets are available at $50 per person. For more information, call 461-2222, or visit rochestercontemporary. org/food.html. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY a.m.-5 p.m., Sat 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

FESTIVAL | HARBOR & CAROUSEL FESTIVAL

How do you measure when summer has officially begun? For some, it’s a steadily warm temperature (good luck with that); for others, it’s on the Summer Solstice, no matter the state of the weather. For many, it’s got to do with the increase in summer festivals, and when we’re able to enjoy the abundance of watery venues in our region. If you’re of the latter set, then summer comes this weekend, with the Rochester Harbor & Carousel Festival. The event will feature a Boat Parade of Lights, fireworks, strolling buskers, tons of food, visiting vessels, a classic car show, arts & crafts, and much more.

The festivities kick off at Ontario Beach Pier and Park (off Lake Avenue) on Thursday, June 23, with the noon arrival of the tall ships “Lynx” and “Pride of Baltimore II,” which will offer educational dockside tours ($5) and sailing adventures ($30$75), including a War of 1812 battle re-enactment, during the course of the festival. For more information, visit privateerlinx.org or pride2.org. Family carnival rides will run 5-10 p.m.

On Friday, June 24, enjoy rides on the Dentzel Carousel 9 am.-9 p.m., an arts and crafts show and sale noon-6 p.m., wine tastings and a farmers’ market noon-8 p.m., live jazz beginning at 1 p.m., and the Boat Parade of Lights at the Port of Rochester, 9-10 p.m. This event is open to all boaters, and participating sea captains are asked to turn their vessels into parade floats by decorating with lights, flags, streamers, and costumes to compete for cash prizes. Entrants are encouraged to pre-register by calling 733-7480; however, no official registration or entry fee is required. Spectators may view the parade from the Charlotte Pier in Ontario Beach Park.

On Saturday and Sunday, June 25-26, play volleyball on the beach at the Hotshots Volleyball Tournament (check in at 8 a.m., for information, visit secure.novaeventmanagement. com). Carousel and carnival rides, food, fireworks, jazz, markets, tours and trips on the tall ships, arts & crafts, and food will be offered as well. On Saturday, the antique-car show takes place 11 a.m.-4 p.m. On Sunday, the Harborfest 10K takes place at 9 a.m. (registration at 7 a.m.), and a Zoomobile and Fire Safety House begin at noon.

Admission to Harborfest is free, with fees for rides, food, and events. For more information, call 865-3320 or 428-6770, or visit ontariobeachentertainment.org or cityofrochester.gov.

KIDS | STARFISH & KIDZROC

Starfish is known as one of the best rock bands in the world…for kids. These guys play classic-rock music with G-rated lyrics about things like school, siblings, and playing with friends. The band is made up of five musician dads who make sure that parents also enjoy the show by referencing bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Tom Petty. Starfish will play at Main Street Armory on Sunday, June 26, as part of a concert to benefit CANs for Kids, a non-profit that benefits community youth programs.

Miss Beth and Gary the Happy Pirate of Saturday Morning Car Tunes will emcee the show.

A KidzROC production will be opening for the band and will include local teen bands 441 and Nex Generation, with backup dancing and vocals by local kids. Tickets for the concert cost $12.50 if you buy them in advance at ticketfly.com and $15 at the door. There is also a $40 family four-pack available.

The show takes place at 3 p.m. at the Armory (900 E. Main St.). Visit rochestermainstreetarmory.com or kidzroc.com for more information. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL [ Wednesday, June 29 ] Anne of Green Gables Day. Hurd Orchards, Rt 104 W & MonroeOrleans County Line Rd, Holley.

This Week’s Health Tip from MVP Health Care

Get up! Get out! Get active! Take the dog for a long, brisk walk. If you don't have a dog, borrow one from a neighbor or take a friend along instead. Go for a swim. Any stroke, even doggy-paddle, is great exercise. So it treading water. Get together with some kids from the neighborhood and play an energetic game of kickball or tag.

RECREATION | ROSELAND WATERPARK OPENING

Oh, the ingenious idea of combining giant slides with cold, slippery water. What could be better during the hot summer days? Roseland Water Park in Canandaigua has more than your average water slides. There is a giant wave pool, the Splash Factory water playground, and a 600-foot-long river to float along in addition to the more traditional water-filled tubes.

For brave sliders there are also 65-feet-high tubeless slides that hurtle you down at 30 miles per hour. Free volleyball and bocce ball are offered on a first-come first-served basis, or you can also challenge a friend to a giant water-balloon fight in the Water War Zone.

Roseland will open for the summer season on Saturday, June 25, and will offer many free events throughout the summer, including magicians, chair massages, clowns, and caricature drawings. Season passes are $60 and regular admission tickets are $18-$23 each. The park is located at 250 Eastern Boulevard in Canandaigua and is open daily 11 a.m.-6 p.m. through June 26, 11 a.m.-7:30 p.m. June 27-August 7, and 11 a.m.-7 p.m. August 8-September 5.

themselves such surprising virtues as sacrifice, courage, nobility, and even love. No wonder so many artists in so many media find the subject rich with endless potential.

In the Dutch movie “Winter in Wartime,” a reasonably traditional story of World War II, the German conquest and occupation of another country once again generates an examination of the ambiguous possibilities of the human spirit. Set in January, 1945, the film shows conditions in a small town under the Nazi yoke through the point of view of its protagonist, a 14-year-old boy named Michiel (Martin Lakemeier). Michiel observes and participates in a situation his youth and innocence prevent him from fully understanding, which allows the director to engage the audience in the boy’s developing awareness of a tragic complexity and a consequent growth into maturity.

Like most of his countrymen, Michiel hates the occupying forces and hates even more the fact that his father (Raymond Thiry), the town’s mayor, in order

to protect the villagers reaches a kind of negotiated neutrality with the enemy. On the other hand, he loves and admires his Uncle Ben (Yorick Van Wageningen), a member of the Underground who possesses a forbidden radio, packs a pistol, and berates Michiel’s father for his refusal to join the Resistance.

In his own way Michiel joins the Underground himself when a friend, later arrested by the Germans, leaves him the directions to the forest hiding place of a downed British pilot, Jack (Jamie Campbell Bower), who has killed a soldier. Jack becomes Michiel’s special project, a secret friend, a companion for a boy at odds with his own family; he risks punishment by hiding the pilot, bringing him stolen food, and conveying a message to the Underground. When he brings his sister Erica (Melody Klaver), a nurse, to treat the pilot’s wounded leg, however, he resents the attraction between the two, which eventually helps Jack to reach safety.

As Jack’s plight grows more desperate, the two of them narrowly escape a couple of German patrols, actions that move the essentially simple plot toward much greater complication and some accompanying moral complexities. Though the two survive a carefully planned escape attempt, it ends in a personal tragedy for Michiel. When Michiel falls through the ice and almost drowns, a young German soldier saves him, creating an uncomfortable

mixture of gratitude and resentment in the boy, who must accept the fact that even the hated Germans possess some humanity.

While the danger to Jack and Michiel increases, the Germans start their familiar practice of reprisal, lining up innocent civilians before a firing squad in retaliation for the soldier Jack shot, which then creates more tragedy for Michiel and his family. He eventually enlists the help of his Uncle Ben, clearly the most competent and knowledgeable person for the task of smuggling the pilot out of the area to a place of safety. That decision initiates the final twists of the plot, completely transforming all of Michiel’s ideas about who fights the enemy, who indeed is really the enemy, the rightness of his father’s conduct, and even the nature of heroism.

Within the familiar situation of the resistance to German invasion and occupation, the subject of hundreds of films in both America and Europe, “Winter in Wartime” very quietly establishes a genuine emotional complexity. It employs its subject to explore the relationship between a son and his father, which itself creates further confusions of feeling and meaning, and turns the ongoing tragedies of war into a process of development and maturation for its young protagonist. At the end, after a baptism of blood and a baptism of fire, Michiel seems no longer quite a boy, even if at the same time he hasn’t fully grown into manhood, which nicely summarizes the several ambiguities of the film.

As the multiplexes march out one expensive sensory assault after another, the Little appears to be taking the “If you can’t beat ‘em, ignore ‘em” approach. The venerable downtown institution recently kicked off an ambitious initiative known as “Arthouse Summer,” which takes the Little beyond mere film exhibition to include author readings, a picnic, and even a drag night in the café. But of course the Little’s main concern has always been movies; one of their more interesting programs this summer, “From Britain with Love,” assembles some of the mother country’s brightest talents for our colonial viewing pleasure. Read on for a peek at a few of them...

Someday governments will figure out a way to solve differences without insisting that their otherwise peaceful citizens kill each other to determine who’s right. Until then, those fortunate enough to get back home must try to resume normalcy with their minds still clouded by the fog of war.

That’s the basis of Brian Welch’s flawed but

tense drama “In Our Name” (June 23), in which Suzy (Joanne Froggatt, “Downton Abbey”) returns from her tour in Iraq to family life in Middlesbrough. Her young daughter won’t speak to her, while her insensitive husband, Mark (Mel Raido), himself a former soldier, pesters her for sex.

An incident with an Iraqi child causes Suzy to slowly unravel, her guilt manifesting in the manic overprotection of her daughter.

“In Our Name” is almost derailed by the pivotal character of Mark, written without nuance or any helpful insight. It’s the brave Froggatt who makes this worthwhile, conveying the pain and loneliness of her all-too-common situation.

Only a complete jerk would slam a charmingly resonant film like “Africa United” (June 30), which nonetheless uses a very heavy hand to cram nearly every horror facing African life — the ravages of AIDS, children in combat, genocide, young sex workers, big cats — into a lighthearted narrative about three Rwandan kids determined to get to the World Cup in South Africa. Spurred on by the encouragement of a FIFA scout, the fast-talking Dudu (a charismatic Eriya Ndayambaje) convinces his best friend and soccer prodigy Fabrice (Roger Nsengiyumva) to make the trip, along with Dudu’s bookish little sister Beatrice (the sweetly serene Sanyu Joanita Kintu). With echoes of “Slumdog Millionaire” and “The Wizard of Oz,” the trio journeys more than 3000 miles and across seven countries, scooping up other kids hoping to rise above their current lots. Director Debs GardnerPaterson even finds a way to incorporate some wonderful stop-motion animation, as Dudu entertains his followers with a colorful folk tale that mirrors their adventure.

A sort of English “Big Chill” where the guest of honor is still fighting for his life, Hattie Dalton’s “Third Star” (July 7) features the very Britishly named Benedict

Cumberbatch, a/k/a the small screen’s most recent Sherlock Holmes, as 29-yearold James, who wishes to visit Barafundle Bay in Wales one last time, before his end-stage cancer prevails. So he and his three closest mates take off, and before long we’ve learned the particulars about the various interrelationships within the group, especially the rifts and resentments that bubble up again thanks to a blend of fatigue, beer, and drugs, prescribed and otherwise. JJ Feild enjoys a juicy turn as the selfish Miles, James’ estranged best friend, while Cumberbatch’s startling blue eyes help to give him a preliminarily angelic presence. But what sets this apart from the other dramas that use terminal illness as an excuse for maudlin catharsis (which this does) is the gutsy, unexpected ending.

If you’ve seen any of Peter Mullan’s intense performances in films like “My Name is Joe,” “The Claim,” or the recent (and excellent) “Red Riding” trilogy, then it shouldn’t be any surprise that behind the camera he packs a similarly vicious punch. His third feature as writerdirector is the semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama “NEDS” (July 21), or “Non-Educated Delinquents,” though that doesn’t seem to be where the bright John McGill (Connor McCarron, in a formidable debut) is headed when the film opens. But through a perfect storm of circumstance, including his alcoholic father, his psychopathic brother, and his rough-and-tumble Glasgow neighborhood of the early 70’s, John adopts a violent new thug-life attitude and embraces the respect that comes with it. The porridge-thick accents warrant the phonetically authentic subtitles, but the reading should in no way distract from the powerful images on the screen, their unflinching impact putting Mullan in a league with the best UK miserablists like Mike Leigh, Ken Loach, and Shane Meadows.

Room to Grow in Browncroft

166 Dorchester Road Established in the 1910s by the Brown Brothers on their former nursery grounds, the Browncroft neighborhood is a perennial favorite for buyers looking for a walkable, livable neighborhood with well-built houses, mature trees and shrubs, and varied housing stock. In the heart of this desirable neighborhood is the lovingly kept Colonial Revival style house at 166 Dorchester Road.

The first thing to notice about this early 20th century house is its open front porch, a rare amenity on Browncroft houses, built in an era when the traditional front porch was giving way to more private, enclosed side and rear porches. The porch roof form echoes the hipped shape and unusually deep, bracketed eaves of the house’s main roof, which is topped by three arched dormers on the front and one on the west side.

The house has been owned by, and has grown along with, the same family for an incredible 57 years. The formal front rooms are bathed in light from the generous banks of original south, west, and east-facing windows. The elegant fireplace surround, featuring a mantel supported by carved scrolls, is the focal point of the spacious living room. Beyond the living room is the family room, added by the current owners when their children were young. Large picture windows overlook the partially fenced back yard.

The kitchen was redone in the 1980s, and has a convenient spice cabinet, two back

doors leading to the yard and driveway, and room for a small table and chairs.

A formal front stair and rear service stair lead to the second floor, which was expanded to provide six bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

The master suite—an uncommon feature in older houses—offers ample closet space and a bathroom. The bath connects to a bedroom that would make a convenient nursery. The owners have removed the carpet in one bedroom to reveal a hardwood floor in excellent condition.

Similar floors lie beneath carpets in the rest of the house with the exception of the addition, and are likely in similarly fine shape having been protected by carpeting for decades.

The partially finished third floor contains a seventh bedroom, with the possibility of its own bathroom (the pipes are still in place; the fixtures have been removed). In addition to the unfinished portion of the attic, there is plentiful storage space in the basement, the double linen closet, and even a quaint umbrella closet with a drain.

This one-of-a-kind house, with some 3,800 square feet of living space, is offered at $295,000. For more information visit http:// rochestercityliving.com/property/R156350 or contact Darryl Gronsky, Nothnagle Realtors at 389-4052.
