Temple Israel takes on ‘Beauty and the Beast’ BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N

n early Sunday afternoon quickly turned into a late evening as the Temple Israel Players in Great Neck ran through their planned performance of “Beauty and the Beast.” With song, dance and colorful costumes, a small ensemble led by musical director Debbie Tartell rehearsed as director JoJo Conley’s corrections and advice sometimes boomed above the music. Stage workers also practiced transforming the stage from village to castle to forest and back. “It’s a lot of work,” Mark Putter, a show producer involved with the Players for 15 years, said on Sunday night in between scenes. “And it’s a lot of fun.” The Temple Israel Players, a theater troupe founded more than 40 years ago, will be taking on the iconic fantasy tale — and Disney — for the first time this weekend, with shows planned for Saturday and Sunday. Conley said some people might view “Beauty and the Beast” as just a children’s show since it was an animated feature. But, Conley said, working with a mature cast offered a chance to explore the script’s nuances through body language, like Gaston slowly imposing upon Belle, and female empowerment as seen when she defiantly weaves around his advances, makes her own choices and tames Beast. “There’s a lot of meat on the bones of this story,” Conley, the mother of three daughters, said in an interview, noting its resonance in the “Me Too” era. “I’m thrilled with how they’re doing it because they really dug into the issues that each character was having and really extract a lot of emotion out of the scenes,” Conley added. The troupe is also “double-casting” many roles, producers said, a rarity that will get even more people involved with the show. The production will star Lillian Rokhsar as Belle, with Abe Kanfer playing Beast on Saturday and Daniel Frankel playing him on Sunday. Kenneth Leff plays Maurice on Saturday, followed by Van Frankel on Sunday. Former North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jon Kaiman will play Gaston in both productions, while the role of Madame de la Grande Bouche will be played by Kai-

Kim Kaiman will play Madame de la Grande Bouche on Saturday and one of the “silly girls” fawning over Gaston on Sunday. Cogsworth will be played by Harold Citron, Lumiere by Mark Cwern, Babette by Shoshana Cellers and Debbie Volk, who is also a producer, Mrs. Potts by Meredith Bachrach and Amy David, and Chip by Mia Bachrach. Seventeen people will be in the ensemble, which includes townspeople and enchanted objects, while six people will consistently be among the “silly girls” fawning over Gaston, according to the playbill. “A number of our roles are double-cast,” Volk said. “So each performance is genuinely unique as each actor brings their own personality to the character they play.” Daniel Frankel, a 25-year member of the Players who will be Beast in the Sunday performance, said he is not

normally very beast-like in real life. But he said it is also a chance for a release, to bring his favorite childhood movie to life, and act with his father Van Frankel – portraying Maurice – with whom he remembered first seeing “Beauty and the Beast.” “I must have been no older than 5 years old and I fell in love with the story, the music – just the entire animation of it was phenomenal,” Frankel, a 30-year-old opera singer, said between scenes. “It’s been a big part of my life since, and to be playing the Beast in the show that means so much to me is a dream come true.” “By the time the movie was over, I was crying,” Van Frankel, a longtime member of the Temple Israel Players, recalled. “It was so great … I have an emotional attachment to Disney and I have an emotional attachment to the story.” There are also a number of other family relationships among the cast and crew. Meredith Bachrach and her daughter Mia will be playing Mrs. Potts and Chip, for example. Meanwhile Ella and Max Covitt, who are playing both villagers and the wolves who chase down Maurice, will join enchantress and ensemble member Lauryn Covitt – their mother. Jon Kaiman, who has been involved in the troupe for more than 20 years, said it has been a great way to bond with his family and make friends inside Temple Israel. “It’s a great escape and it’s a good thing for us to do together, and again, we develop friendships,” Kaiman said. “It really makes a difference when you’re part of this group, when we are active in the temple — this is a very large temple, with thousands of members.” “It’s a camaraderie,” Kaiman added. “There’s a sense of family within this larger family and that’s a real nice thing that we’ve had over these years.” The shows will take place Saturday at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. at Temple Israel at 108 Old Mill Road in Great Neck. To order tickets, call Kathy at Temple Israel Box Office at 516-482-7800 ext. 1109 or email Krecckia@tign. org. Saturday tickets cost $20 to $50 and include a champagne reception for patrons and sponsors, while Sunday’s tickets cost $10 to $36 for adults and $10 to $18 for children. All proceeds benefit Temple Israel.

Dreamers of time Sea Cliff artist focus of a new exhibit machines film subjects The Alfred Van Loen Gallery at the South Huntington Library is currently showcasing “Impressions,” a solo exhibit of paintings and woodblock prints by local artist Nancy Kirk. The gallery will feature two groups of Kirk’s work. “The Gap Between Breaths” is her abstract expressionist paintings, and “Pictographs” her woodblock prints on Japanese paper. Kirk’s paintings, “The Gap Between Breaths,” are large, gestural oils on linen, mostly black and white with hints of color and graphic lettering. They are organic expressive abstractions with influences of Franz Kline and Japanese brushwork. They mix principals of east and west philosophies revealing an energy evoking rhythms of the natural world. Kirk shifts to her printmaking in “Pictographs.” These are monoprints that she hand carves from cherrywood blocks and rubs onto red rice paper. Taos inspired, they are quiet reflections both ethereal and earthly. Kirk’s contemporary sensibility integrating icons offers a fresh and

timeless visual and perceptual experience rooted in artisanal traditions. She encounters everything through her art, says Kirk. Her how and why of life finds expression through varied disciplines of visual art. A native of Berkeley, California, Kirk began her formal art studies at the California College of Arts and Crafts. She continued her studies in Florence for 10 years while working under Raffaele Del Salvo, head scenic designer at Florence’s renowned opera house, Il Teatro Communal, and alongside legends such as Ricardo Muti, Beni Montessori, and Paolo Filmmaker Jay Cheel’s (“Beauty Day”) Bortoluzzoi. documentary, “How to Build a Time MaReturning back to the U.S., she chine,” examines the ever-lingering obsesworked as a commercial illustrator, au- sions of childhood by focusing on two men thoring and illustrating books for chil- with a shared interest in time travel and dren, and has had her photographs ex- love of H.G.

He has no interest in actual time travel, unlike Mallett whose entire fascination with the concept stems from his desire to travel back to a time before his father passed away. Though their intentions diﬀer, a shared sense of loss drives them both forward throughout a ﬁlm that is just as concerned with development as it is with the past. Sponsored by the Gold Coast Arts Center, “How to Build a Time Machine” will be shown at Bow Tie Squire Cinemas, 115 Middle Neck Road in Great Neck, on Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m. There will be a discussion session and audience Q&A with Niosi and Mallett before and after the screening. The tickets are $15 for the general public and $10 for GCAC members. For more information, go to goldcoastarts.org

space in New York City, which had become a dumping ground for garbage, sewage and bullet-riddled mobsters. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon, “Saving Jamaica Bay” underscores the importance of citizen action and the role of urban nature in protecting our cities from the effects of climate change. The writer and producer of the film, Daniel Hendrick, will show his awardwinning documentary and discuss the environmental challenges that Jamaica Bay is facing. With more than a decade working on environmental issues, Hendrick is ideally positioned to produce this first-ever, fulllength documentary on Jamaica Bay. He is the author of the only general readership book on the bay’s history (“Jamaica Bay,” Arcadia Press, 2006), and spent years as the editor of a local newspaper covering Jamaica Bay, the residents who depend on it, and the challenges it faces. A graduate of Columbia University, Hendrick currently works in the renewable energy industry. The Manhasset Public Library is located at 30 Onderdonk Ave. in Manhasset. The event is free and open to the public. For more information about the event, call 516-627-2300 or go to www. northshoreaudubon.org.
