Molloy to kick off Literary Tea BY G R AC E M CQ UA D E

hen book publishing executive Carol Hoenig came up with the idea to open a bookstore on Long Island, she decided to combine two things that go well together — books and

wine. Joining forces with one of her former colleagues, Peggy Zieran, the two followed their dreams and opened Turn of the Corkscrew Books and Wine in 2015. Since then, the store has been a welcome haven in the village of Rockville Centre, providing locals with a cozy place to enjoy the latest bestseller or a literary classic, as well as a glass of Pinot in the back room bar or on the outdoor patio on a balmy evening. The store has also become a popular destination for many of today’s leading authors who have paid visits to talk about and autograph their latest works while on their busy book tours. Now, three years since opening the business, Hoenig has created another ﬁne pairing to please book lovers and their palates with Turn of the Corkscrew’s Inaugural Literary Tea that will take place at the Madison Theatre at Molloy College on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 2 p.m. “I recall years ago when Newsday sponsored a literary lunch or tea at the Cresthollow Country Club and I always made it a point to attend,” Hoenig said when asked how she came up with the idea. “It was fun to be with like-minded readers and enjoy hearing the authors talk about their books. When the program ended, for whatever reason, I was heartbroken. I kept thinking there has to be a way to do this again and I took a leap of faith in hopes that people would want to attend something similar on a Sunday afternoon.” The leap was worth it because her latest endeavor has drawn three of today’s literary stars who will be the featured authors at the event: Min Jin Lee, a 2017 National Book Award nominee for her novel “Pachinko”; Marie Benedict, the bestselling author of “The Other Einstein” and “Carnegie’s Maid”; and George Peleca-

OUR TOWN

‘My Fair Lady’: flawed masterpiece Who doesn’t love a masterpiece? As Long Islanders we’re lucky to live near Manhattan, a city which is itself a great masterpiece that in turn is filled with other masterpieces. And one such masterpiece is called “My Fair Lady.” If you have not seen this play I recommend you do. And like all masterpieces this play has a very long, interesting and anguished history. The original story was entitled “Metamorphoses” written by the Roman poet Ovid around the time of Christ. It describes a sculptor who falls in love with a beautiful statue he has created and enlists Aphrodite to make the statue real. His wish is granted, the perfect woman comes alive and they conceive a child together. Ovid’s masterpiece was about human transformation and such well known stories like Cinderella and Pinocchio were both take offs on Ovid’s tale about the possibility of growth based upon love. In 1913, the Nobel Prize winner George Bernard Shaw reworked Ovid’s story into Pygmalion which became a smash hit in London. However the ending of his play differed markedly from the

Ovid’s because Shaw insisted that the woman who was transformed finally left her creator behind. This doesn’t make for a very happy ending and this ending has plagued the play ever since. After Shaw died the film director Pascal decided to turn the play into a musical but talents like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Rodgers and Hammerstein all were unable to write compelling music to match Shaw’s dialogue. Finally Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe undertook the task and after 1 ½ years of struggle they completed the musical version and the play was renamed My Fair Lady which opened on Broadway in 1955 with Rex Harrison playing Henry Higgins and launching the career of Julie Andrews in the role of Eliza Doolittle. It became an instant classic. In 1964, the play was made into a film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison and won 8 Oscars. This film version had a happier ending with the appearance that Eliza would stay with Higgins. The current revival at the Vivien Beaumont holds fast to Shaw’s original unhappy ending with Eliza walking off into the sunset leav-

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town ing Henry Higgins to deal with his solitude and loneliness once again. This makes for an interesting and unsettling theater experience for the audience. Nancy Olson Livingston, who was married to Alan Jay Lerner, was the supportive presence and first audience for each song as Lerner and Loewe worked on the music back in 1954 and she made an interesting comment when she first heard the song The Rain in Spain sung to her by her husband. This song was one of a series of incredible show stopping tunes in the first act of the play and she said with great prescience “This number will stop the show. The actors will be

unable to continue. There will be such a reaction from the audience that they may actually have to take a bow in the middle of the first act. Not just one bow but many.” And this is exactly what the audience feels. The musical numbers in the first act of this play are so astounding and so much fun that the audience is consistently overjoyed and offers up ovations after each piece. I was watching some of the people sitting near me during the first act and I couldn’t believe the look of joy and wonder on their faces. This was an audience fully captivated by a brilliant play which contained perfect sets, perfect music, amazing voices and great acting. This was Broadway at its very best. And then came the second act. The ending of Shaw’s play has always been controversial and has produced endless conflict over the years. He wanted Eliza to walk off alone and after the play was first shown in 1911 the uproar was so loud that he was forced to change the ending. Over the years different versions have been tried with the most satisfying being when Hepburn’s Doolittle appears to be in love with Higgins and ready to

stay. In the current revival at Lincoln Center we see Doolittle walk off alone without a suitor and without Higgins. The hope that love can be one’s salvation is not something you will see. This was evident in the audience reaction in the end. It was a rather lukewarm applause which was in no way commensurate with the quality or the magic of the play’s first act. I left the theater wondering exactly how much money this ending would be costing the producers in the long run. Such an odd thing to think of as one walks out. Two thousand years ago Ovid ended his poem with the statue coming to life, with the artist finding love and with a child being born. Somehow in the Broadway version we now love is not an actor in this play. Maybe the modern playwrights feel guilt over all the marvelous beauty they’ve created and by way of atonement for that sin they remove the one thing that matters most of all, the love between a man and a woman. Gertrude Stein once famously asked why masterpieces are so rare. Here we have a masterpiece which lost its love and replaced it with sadness and emptiness.

Exhibit spotlights seafaring wives In honor of the centennial of womenâ€™s suffrage in New York, The Whaling Museum & Education Center is opening a special exhibition, Heroines at the Helm, which explores the fascinating and little-known experiences of whaling wives who broke social bounds in a male-defined world. The exhibit opens on Saturday, Sept. 22 and will remain at the museum through Labor Day 2019. Historically, whaling was one of Long Islandâ€™s most important commercial industries. The male-dominated whaling industry relied on family members to manage life ashore during menâ€™s long absences. Women who remained home suddenly found themselves as lone masters of their households. They maintained their families as single parents, took care of elderly parents, paid the bills, tended to farming, and waited with wifely devotion. Some women became entrepreneurs, running inns, becoming teachers, or serving as midwives. As time went on, some women found themselves incapable of enduring the years of separation anymore. A number of captainsâ€™ wives broke boundaries by deciding to do what no woman had done before: join their husbands at sea, enduring harsh conditions for companionship. By the 1850â€™s, one out of six whaleships carried the captainâ€™s wife aboard. Heroines at the Helm will illuminate these wivesâ€™ experiences by featuring womenâ€™s utilitarian, costume, and decorative pieces, as well as photographs and portraits. Through firstperson accounts lifted from womenâ€™s letters and journals, visitors will explore what life was like for these women at sea, including where they gave birth, what they ate for dinner, how they looked after their children, how they celebrated holidays, and how they passed the time.

Alongside these artifacts, contemporary artwork by two Long Island female artists who challenged traditional artistic boundaries will be featured, including Bastienne Schmidt and Esphyr Slobodkina (1908-2002), as well as Arizona-based artist Angela Ellsworth. Visitors will be invited to cast their vote in response to choices women faced at sea, such as would they leave their children at home with relatives, or travel as a family? Visitors will also view Victorian-era and contemporary silhouettes, and create their own silhouette craft to take home. â€œWhaling wives became trailblazers by necessity,â€? said Executive Director Nomi Dayan. â€œThe remarkable mental and physical endurance that they showed in spite of the many circumstances they endured â€” illness, seasickness, storms, mutinies, dangerous whaling grounds, long stretches of boredom, not to mention cramped, filthy conditions â€” offer inspiration to our lives today. Helping to arrange this exhibit was humbling.â€? The museum will be closed now through Sept. 21 for exhibit installation, and will reopen on Sept 22. Exhibit development is supported by funds from Humanities New York, Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning, and private contributions. In celebration of the new exhibit, the public is invited to a family-friendly special event, SeaFaire, on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors will partake in creating seaworthy crafts, view demonstrations, and hear live sea shanties. Other associated programming will take place throughout the 2018-2019 seasons. The Whaling Museum & Education Center is located at 301 Main St. in Cold Spring Harbor.

David Byrne to play Forest Hills Scottish-American singer and songwriter David Byrne, who was a founding member and the lead singer and guitarist of the American new wave band the Talking Heads from 1975 to 1991, will be performing at Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. The concert marks the first time Byrne has played at this venue since August 1983, during the Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense tour, and one of the final stops on his summer 2018 tour to promote his solo record, American Utopia. With its debut this spring, the album has garnered critical acclaim. Mojo said, “Byrne filters grace, wonder and apocalyptic portent through his fractured worldview. He remains a fine guide through life’s disruptions and disturbances.” Stereogum noted, “American Utopia is an album full of pulsating beats and rich textures. You could also say that about any Talking Heads record, but the new album isn’t a throwback; it feels like it could only exist right now.”

And NPR Music’s “First Listen” began streaming the record in full, saying in its review: “If a brain in a jar could observe the world, make sense of it and churn it into a batch of songs, it would make the album American Utopia.” At his upcoming show, the Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning performer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will perform songs from his new album, as well as classics from his solo career and his days with the Talking Heads. A 12-piece band joins Byrne on stage for a choreographed, “untethered” concert that he has called “the most ambitious show I’ve done since the ones that were filmed for Stop Making Sense.” The Tune-Yards, a five-piece, eclectic band that uses elements such as loop pedals, ukulele, vocals and lo-fi percussion, will open the show. To purchase tickets to the concert, go to www.foresthillsstadium.com. Forest Hills Stadium is located at 1 Tennis Place in Forest Hills.

Sands Point Preserve fall schedule The Sands Point Preserve has announced highlights of the fall season. In September, the Village Day Fall Festival and the start of After School Art, Science, and Yoga for children. In October, PUSH Physical Theatre’s powerful production of “Dracula” and the Halloween trilogy: “Vampyres’ Lair,” the notorious “Halloween Ball,” and the delightful “Family Halloween Party” and “Pet Parade.” In November, there will be a performance of the Agatha Christie murder mystery masterpiece “Towards Zero.” On Sunday, Sept. 23 from noon to 4 p.m., the Conservancy celebrates the beginning of the fall harvest season with outdoor activities for children of all ages at the annual Village Day Fall Festival. The festival features a petting zoo, hayrides and pony rides around the Great Lawn, pumpkin painting for bud-

ding artists, and a green grocer market featuring awardwinning artisanal cheeses and farm picked fresh vegetables. The Conservancy welcomes back Acoustic Mayhem and the students from Bach to Rock music school for live performances throughout the afternoon. Guided nature walks and Qi Gong are also on the afternoon’s schedule. Refreshments from a variety of excellent food trucks will be available for purchase. In the event of inclement weather, the festival will be rescheduled for Sept. 30. Every year, the Conservancy celebrates Halloween like no other place in the region. On Oct. 20 at 8 p.m., the Preserve kicks off the Halloween festivities with PUSH Physical Theatre’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror novel, “Dracula” — an acrobatic spectacle from the ‘masters of motion theatre’ in Castle Gould’s Black Box Theater.

Historic Hempstead House will once again be transformed into a massive horror house on the theme of “Vampyres’ Lair” – bloodthirsty creatures of the night will be lurking everywhere throughout the mansion, and visitors will come face to face with a cast of actors who take their terrifying roles very seriously. The Haunt runs Oct. 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, and 31 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. On Saturday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m., the Halloween Ball takes over Hempstead House. Because the 50,000 square foot mansion isn’t large enough for this party, a huge gala tent will be set up in the rose garden mausoleum. This event is the Conservancy’s most important fundraising event of the year. Ticket sales will open exclusively for Conservancy members and event sponsors on Sept. 10. Ticket sales will open for the general public on Sept. 24. For more of the

gory details, please visit www. SandsPointPreserve.org. In addition to these events, the Preserve offers education programs and wellness/fitness activities for all ages throughout the year. After school classes for children ages 3 to 10 foster lifelong connections between art, wellness, and the natural environment. Registration is now open for classes, which begin the last week of September. The fall session of Four Seasons of Family Yoga takes place on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. Preregister at info@sandspointpreserve.org. For adults, themed guided nature walks explore many aspects of the Preserve’s environment and related conservation initiatives on Oct. 14, Nov. 11 and the second Sunday of every month from 3 to 4 p.m. The popular Owl Prowl for Adults ventures into the nighttime woods on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. Weekly medita-

tion and yoga classes are free for Conservancy members and $10 for non-members; preregistration is not required, and participants may attend as often as they wish. Members of the Conservancy not only help support the Sands Point Preserve’s historic buildings and grounds, but they are also eligible for discounts to many events and free admission to the park, which is open year-round. Fall is the perfect time to join with a 12-month membership and enjoy all that the preserve has to offer. For general information, see www.SandsPointPreserve. org or visit the Welcome Center & Gift Shop at 127 Middle Neck Road, Sands Point, NY, 11050. The preserve is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; the Welcome Center is open from noon to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
