YOUR GUIDE TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING
MAKING FUNNY PEOPLE FUNNY BY R O S E WELDON
W
hen funny people want to be funnier, they call Alan Zweibel. A seasoned writer and comedian whose decadeslong career has taken him from Long Island to Studio 8H in Rockefeller Plaza to Hollywood and beyond, Zweibel will be visiting the Madison Theatre at Molloy College in Rockville Centre on Feb. 14, along with some friends, to entertain audiences as he has for years. Zweibel grew up in the Wantagh and Woodmere areas, and graduated from Hewlett High School in 1968. Shortly after graduating from the University of Buffalo in 1972, he began writing jokes for standup comedians, and in 1975 was enlisted by producer Lorne Michaels to join the staff of “NBC’s Saturday Night,” later renamed “Saturday Night Live.” Among Zweibel’s sketch comedy creations were John Belushi’s zealous samurai warrior and Gilda Radner’s Weekend Update favorites Emily Litella and Roseanne Roseannadanna. The actress remained a close friend, and Zweibel served as part of a team of writers on her Broadway show “Gilda Live” and its 1980 film, directed by Mike Nichols. After Radner’s death

Writer and comedian Alan Zweibel will appear with comedians Lewis Black and John Fugelsang at the Madison Theater at Molloy College on Friday, Feb. 14. from ovarian cancer in 1989, Zweibel enshrined their friendship in a 1994 book, “Bunny, Bunny: Gilda Radner – A Sort of Love Story.” A stage adaptation, also written by Zweibel, premiered in Philadelphia in 1996, and the writer
says he is interested in taking it Off-Broadway in the near future. “From what I can see, she’s really reached this iconic status,” Zweibel said. “It’s something she deserves.” Radner, he says, was
Aunt Gilda to his children, and longtime friend Billy Crystal, with whom Zweibel co-wrote the Tony Award-winning stage show “700 Sundays,” is Uncle Billy. Foulmouthed standup Gilbert Gottfried is “the sweetest man ever,” as is
actor-dancer-singer-comedian Martin Short. As of late, Zweibel has become a frequent face in documentaries, discussing his friendships with Radner in 2018’s “Love, Gilda,” with Gottfried in 2017’s “Gilbert,” and with comedian-actor Garry Shandling in 2018’s “The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling,” directed by Judd Apatow. Also among Zweibel’s writing credits are episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” created by friend Larry David, “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,” and the film “Dragnet,” co-written with Dan Aykroyd, as well as television specials for Paul Simon, Steve Martin and Jon Lovitz. For his work on “SNL” and the specials, Zweibel won five Emmy Awards for writing. Not all of his projects resulted in raves, though. The 1994 film “North,” adapted for the screen by Zweibel from one of his own books, infamously drew the ire of the late film critic Roger Ebert, who wrote of the Rob Reiner-directed movie: “I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it.” While the review stung at first, Zweibel says, he now carries a clipping of the zero-star Chicago SunTimes review in his wallet, and has taken to reading it at his public appearances. In recent years, Zweibel has focused on publishing, writing humor pieces for the New Yorker and Huffington Post. He’s also teamed up with humorist Dave Barry for the novel “Lunatics,” and with author Adam Mansbach for the children’s comedy book “Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in My…” Mansback, Barry and Zweibel also collaborated on the parody book “For This We Left Egypt? A Passover Haggadah for Jews and Those Who Love Them,” pub-
lished last year. On Valentine’s Day, Zweibel will appear with comedians Lewis Black (“The Daily Show,” “Inside Out”) and John Fugelsang (“Politically Incorrect”). He met Black, he says, a few years ago at the National Comedy Center in upstate Jamestown, where they became “fast friends.” At a later Jamestown appearance, Fugelsang moderated a Q&A with Zweibel and Black, and they clicked. “We actually like being on stage with each other,” Zweibel said. Zweifel also says that no topics are off limits when they’re onstage. “The audience can expect us to talk about our careers, politics, what’s going on in the world,” Zweibel said. “Hopefully they’ll laugh, but we have no agenda laid out.” The months following February will see the release of Zweibel’s latest film project “Here Today,” due for release in the fall. Zweibel co-wrote the screenplay with director Crystal, who will co-star alongside comedienne Tiffany Haddish. Also in 2020, Zweibel will be publishing a “cultural memoir” entitled “Laugh Lines: My Life Helping Funny People Be Funnier,” and will appear in Los Angeles with Larry David and at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan with Black to discuss the book. The author, who lives in Short Hills, New Jersey, with his wife, says he intends to return to Long Island to promote the book. “I consider it home,” Zweibel said. Zweibel, Black and Fugelsang will appear at the Madison Theatre at Molloy College in Rockville Centre on Friday, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at https://madisontheatreny.org.

Friendship spawns exhibit at Gold Coast BY R OB E RT PELAEZ A 30-year friendship is a catalyst for the newest exhibit at the Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck, which promotes an environmentally conscious art form by utilizing the sun. Sag Harbor resident Dan Welden has been creating prints and works on paper for more than 50 years. His art has been shown worldwide in more than 80 solo and 700 group exhibitions. Welden prides himself on leading a lifestyle that prioritizes the environment and the resources around him. Welden discovered a way for artists to create work without ingesting harmful chemicals and toxins when he developed the art of solarplate etching in the 1970s. “Rather than using all of these harmful materials that get inside an artist’s lungs and immune system, solarplate etching uses sunlight and water,” Welden said in an interview. “It’s pretty easy to grasp for people of all ages, and you don’t need an extensive artistic background for this.” According to Welden, solarplate is a light-sensitized steel-backed polymer material used by artists as an alternative to hazardous printing techniques. The process can be done by working on the plate directly, with opaque materials in nonwater-based pigments, or by exposing the plate through a

Artist and printmaker Dan Welden invented an art form more than 30 years ago that is now on display at the Gold Coast Arts Center. transparent film with artwork on it. The artwork is printed on the plate through UV exposure for roughly 2 to 5 minutes depending on light exposure, time of day and other variables. When Welden first developed the art, he called fellow artist and current Gold Coast
Gallery Director Jude Amsel to share the news. More than 30 years later, 40 pieces of solarplate etching from across the country are on display at the Gold Coast Arts Center. “At first I definitely had some questions about the process,” Amsel said during a studio tour with Blank Slate Media.
“But once I did it, I realized how revolutionary of an art form this would be for artists all over the world.” Amsel described each piece, noting differences in the surfaces used by each artist. Backgrounds ranging from cloth to wax paper display a wide variety of artistic motifs.
Some are abstract, some are inspired by Long Island ocean life and others reflect on travels in life, but Amsel noted that there is one theme that seems to be prevalent in most pieces the gallery has on display. “There’s a common ground of personal creativity,” she said. “Some feature nature, traveling, or aspects of life that resonate with an artist, but there’s no limit to what can be done with solarplate etching. It’s one of the many things I think is fascinating about it.” Amsel said artists from all backgrounds are able to use the technique. Even photographers can use the art form by reprinting and then shading in the outline of their subject through etching. “The realm of possibilities is really endless with solarplate,” Amsel said. “My personal relationship with Dan makes this exhibit even more special. Watching him work and being a part of the early stages of this art is a blessing.” “I’m certainly humbled and honored to not only have an entire exhibit on solar impressions featured but to also have my work included in this amazing gallery,” Welden said. The exhibit will be on display until April, and Amsel said she will be conducting solarplate classes on March 7-8 from 1-4 p.m. For tour information or to register for classes, visit https://goldcoastarts.org/artgallery/ or call 516-829-2570.

Focus on immigrants at Port Library exhibit Now through February 24, 2020, an exhibition featuring photographs, audio recordings and stories can be experienced at the Port Washington Library in the Community Gallery on the Mezzanine Level. Called “Journey Through the Eyes of an Immigrant,” the exhibit shares the stories of immigrants who come to the US and enrich our neighborhoods. Read about a woman who started a business with her mom in El Salvador, a British woman who survived WWII by seeking refuge in caves, a young Italian man who came here to learn mixed martial arts and so many more. The opening reception
welcomed State Senator Anna Kaplan, who is an immigrant herself, from Iran. The exhibit is funded and supported by “Friends of the Library,” as well as the “Decentralization Program,” a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Huntington Arts Council. For questions about the project, please contact Sonia Arora at sonia@meow. name. Submitted by the Port Washington Public Library
