Peters to perform Almost Famous in Westbury Russell Peters is an international comedy star who regularly sells out arenas all over the world. He is wrapping up his fourth sold-out, worldwide tour, Almost Famous, which celebrates his 25 years in the business and will bring him to the NYCB Theatre at Westbury for a two-night show on Thursday, Feb. 14 and Friday, Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. Peters’ stand-up performances feature observational comedy, using humor to highlight racial, ethnic, class and cultural stereotypes. He often refers to his own experiences growing up in an Anglo-Indian family, and impersonates the accents of various ethnic groups to poke fun at them. Peters is widely known for his punchline, “Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad.” It ends a joke he tells about his childhood with a traditional Indian father, who used corporal punishment on his sons. Another punchline he uses is “Be a man! Do the right thing,” which
relates to a story of a Chinese man trying to get him to pay more for an item at a shop. Peters’ previous tour, Notorious, became the highest attended comedy tour ever in Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Lebanon, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and his home country of Canada. Among the many venues Peters
has sold out are Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, LA’s Nokia Theatre, the Sydney Opera House and back-to-back nights at London’s famed O-2 Arena. Peters was the first comic to sell out Canada’s Air Canada center, which he has now done seven times and in November 2012, he became the first stand-up comic to perform at Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre with over 13,000 fans in attendance. As a result, he is a regular on the Forbes List of top ten highest earning comics, ranking as high as number three in 2013. His comedy has generated over 120 million views on YouTube. Peters has transitioned into both small and big screens, having recently been a judge for NBC’s reboot of “Last Comic Standing,” and lending his voice to the animated feature, “Ribbit,” and to numerous episodes of the iconic animated Fox television show “Family Guy” and “Bob’s Burgers.” He was also awarded a
Gemini Award, Canada’s version of the Emmy, for hosting the country’s Juno Awards Show. Peters’ other notable film roles include the recent Jon Favreau directed indie hit “Chef,” the 2011 sci-fi movie “Source Code,” alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, the Canadian ice hockey hit “Breakaway,” where he also served as executive producer, and the Eva Mendes indie, “Girl in Progress,” alongside Mendes and Patricia Arquette. Peters has appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Lopez Tonight,” “The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “The Queen Latifah Show” and “Def Comedy Jam.” For tickets to the shows, go to www. thetheatreatwestbury.com. The NYCB Theatre at Westbury is located at 960 Brush Hollow Road in Westbury.

A silent auction to help fight Alzheimer’s will also be held. Friday is the ACA-IDOL Competition where college and professional groups compete. ACA-Celebrities will judge live while the audience votes by cell phone. The matinee on Saturday features high school groups competing for awards as well as Single Singers New York, an open a cappella group that anyone can join. Also on Saturday, there will be two evening shows with different professional acts from around the world. The festival concludes on Sunday with a show featuring professional groups from around the world and a new segment called Shruit, in which South-Asian style a cappella is featured. The times of the SingStrong A Cappella Festival are Friday, Feb. 8, at 7 p.m., three shows on Saturday, Feb. 9, at 2, 7,
and 9:30 p.m., and a Sunday, Feb. 10, show at 2 p.m. Classes are scheduled during the day on Saturday and Sunday. All shows will take place on the Westermann Stage at the Adelphi Performing Arts Center, 1 South Ave. in Garden City. Tickets range from $20 to $35, depending on the concert, with discounts available for students for select shows. There are also all-inclusive weekend passes including classes starting at a discounted $75 for students, seniors, music educators, and groups of 10 or more. Information is available at the Lucia and Steven N. Fischer Box Office at 516877-4000 or boxoffice@adelphi.edu.

Metal band Sevendust heads to Huntington In 1994, alternative metal band Sevendust first forged a familial tie amongst each other that translated into one of the most diehard audiences in the game. To this day, the connection between fans and the Grammy Award-nominated, gold-certified hard rock outfit only grows stronger. For their 12th full-length and first release for Rise Records, All I See Is War, the quintet — Lajon Witherspoon (lead vocals), Clint Lowery (lead guitar, backing vocals), John Connolly (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Vince Hornsby (bass), and Morgan Rose (drums) — did the best thing they could do to combat the division in the streets and on social media; they went and made a Sevendust record — just bigger and
bolder than before. A trifecta of now-classic gold albums, including Sevendust (1997), Home (1999), and Animosity (2001), ignited their journey. Known as an equally intense and unforgettable live force, they’ve consistently packed
houses around the world — from Rock on the Range and Woodstock, to Ozzfest and ShipRocked. 2015’s Kill The Flaw represented a watermark for the group. Bowing at No. 13 on the Billboard Top 200, it scored their high-
est debut on the respective chart since 2010 and marked their fifth consecutive Top 10 on the Top Rock Albums Chart and third straight Top 3 on the Hard Rock Albums Chart. Most impressively, the lead single, “Thank You,” garnered a nomination in the category of Best Metal Performance at the 2016 Grammy Awards, a career first for Sevendust. All I See Is War represents another new beginning for the band. Fans of Sevendust can catch them at their upcoming concert at The Paramount on Wednesday, Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. For tickets, go to www.paramountny.com. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.

Spending Valentine’s Art Guild seeks photos Day in ‘Casablanca’ of L.I. for exhibition Celebrate Valentine’s Day this year with a beloved Hollywood ďŹ lm that features the classic line, “Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.â€? The Cinema Arts Centre will host a screening of “Casablancaâ€? (1942) on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. that includes a reception with champagne and chocolate-covered sweets. The Academy Award winner for Best Picture is a captivating wartime adventure of romance and intrigue from director Michael Curtiz that deďŹ es standard categorization. It is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a world-weary ex-free-
dom ďŹ ghter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca, the central-western part of Morocco, during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the local authorities, notably the crafty Capt. Renault (Claude Rains), Rick’s CafĂŠ has become a haven for refugees looking to purchase illicit letters of transit which will allow them to escape to America. One day, to Rick’s great surprise, he is approached by the famed rebel Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) and his wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), Rick’s true love who deserted him when the Nazis invaded Paris. Ilsa still wants Victor to escape to America, but now that she’s renewed her love for Rick, she wants to stay behind in Casablanca. “You must do the thinking for both of us,â€? she says to Rick. He does, and his plan brings the story to its satisfyingly logical, if not entirely happy, conclusion. Featuring the distinctive and pervasive theme song, “As Time Goes By,â€? “Casablancaâ€? will charm both lovebirds and lonely hearts. To purchase tickets ($15 members; $20 general public), go to www.cinemaartscentre.org. The Cinema Arts Centre is located at 423 Park Ave. in Huntington.

LIU theater fest kicks off with readings BY JA DA B U T L E R The first productions for the LIU Post Theater Company’s spring 2019 season are a part of the Building Bridges: The 2019 Virgil J. Lee New Play Festival. Post Theater Company will perform stage readings of the plays “Oak,” written by LIU Post alumnus Ryan Hudak (’12), and “This Can’t Happen Here,” written by LIU Post alumna Sarah E. Taylor (’15). This is the first time these two plays will be publicly read. Most new works in their early stages will go through stage reading performances to give the playwright a sense of how the play could be performed. Two separate casts of LIU Post students prepared for the festival with only three weeks of rehearsals, which included many rewrites by the playwrights on set. “Oaks” is the story of a family in power in a post-apocalyptic America, and what happens when the people of the town, tired of being ruled by fear, call for change. Family dynamics overlap with political discourse in the small town in the midst of a two year drought. Jason Jacobs, a director from New York City, is directing “Oaks.” He described the play as a modern myth. “It’s a new play but it feels like it could be sort of an ancient tale,” he said. “It takes place in a futuristic America that is very much kind of like a past America — almost like a modern myth.” “Oaks” takes place in a small town with a ruling family, the Oaks family. “They’re the muscle and power of the town,” Jacobs said. Throughout the play, we watch Oak, played by William Pope, an LIU Post junior theater major, defend his position as head of the family and town leader, and maintain his power while figuring
out how to fix a drought that may have been caused because of his family. Oak’s sister, Penelope, played by Thea Kraus, junior musical theater major, is a seer, and returns to her hometown after 20 years to share a vision with her brother that could help save the town, but it comes at a cost. “Oak comes to realize that it’s somehow on him and his family to fix it, but someone’s blood will have to be spilled,” Jacobs said. All of this on top of a new government trying to take control of the town takes a toll on Oak. “The whole Oak family created this town, and once people try to take that away from them, and once they start trying to break apart the family, it starts to crumble the town and Oak personally,” Pope said. The character dynamic is intense, and the actors must work hard to portray their characters’ depth since this performance will take the form of a stage reading rather than a traditional play. “A stage reading is always a tricky thing,” Jacobs said, especially when the cast is given too much rehearsal time and a large stage to work with. The cast must fight the temptation to explore movement. “We walk a fine line to keep it as
a reading, but give the audience a feeling of what it might look like if we had sets, costumes, props and objects. It’s a delicate process,” Jacobs said. What the stage reading lacks in movement, it makes up for in the delivery of the lines and the depth of the characters. “We spent a lot of time on the script. It’s important we really give the playwright’s words their full due,” Jacobs said. He also stressed the importance of the actors’ “actions” or intentions behind their delivery. Pearl Emerson, a sophomore musical theater major, plays Oak’s mother, Judy. “She’s experiencing a lot of change in their little town. She is on her way out as the matriarch and a new government is being formed that she’s not so sure she is going to be a part of,” Pearl said. Judy’s uncertainty causes tension in the family. Stephanie Jeker, stage manager and sophomore musical theater major, believes the audience will be satisfied with the play. “They are really going to get a sense of the story and the depth of the characters,” she said. The second play, “This Can’t Happen Here,” takes on a form of social justice theater, revolving around gun violence and mass
shootings, specifically school shootings. The playwright, Taylor, said her motivation for the story began after the Parkland school shooting, though she didn’t begin writing the play until late November 2018. “I wanna explore how as a society we deal with these things,” Taylor said. She expressed how the media tends to “perpetuate the problem.” Many times throughout the play, reporters who cover the shootings portray various “faces” of the media: compassionate, exaggerated, offensive, and desensitized. “This Can’t Happen Here” takes the unique perspective of the parent of the shooter. “(They) are vilified and ostracized — is it their fault, or is it not,” Taylor said. “Parents are always trying to do the best thing, so I wanted to explore that.” This nine person cast is a strong ensemble piece, with many of the actors taking on multiple roles throughout the play.
ing,” Bakey said. Some things are blocked out just to help the story along. “With violence happening as often as it does, I think people often forget that these are real people,” Julia Rivera, a sophomore theater major who plays multiple roles, said. “I think we can get so desensitized by violence. It’s not always covered in the news. These are real people that are being affected, real people that are dying, and that needs to change,” she said. Claire Main, senior theater major, is the assistant director for the show. She works with Luke Leonard, a director from New York City. “It’s been really fun working with Luke, because he’ll give me opportunities to speak my thoughts and add on to what he’s saying,” Main said. Leonard’s direction style, she said, is focused, but also very laid back and comfortable, which brings light to such a “dark” play. Main wants the audience to
Michaela Fox, an LIU Post junior musical theater major, plays Madge Redburn, a mother of two, a wife, a businesswoman, and the parent of gun violence victims. Madge works as the director of marketing and promotions for a gun manufacturing company in her town. She is in the best position to make real change after the shooting. When a tragedy hits, Madge’s whole life flips upside down. “We watch Madge go through the motions of how the strong, independent woman suddenly is shattering from the inside out, and how it takes over every decision she makes,” Fox said. Paul J. Bakey, senior musical theater major, plays Aaron Redburn, one of Madge’s sons. He is a victim of gun violence, and his death is what leads Madge to make change. Though it is script-in-hand, the cast utilizes minimal blocking, lights, and vocal sound effects to bring the story to life. “The issue with stage readings is sometimes the play is written to be performed full out. Sometimes it’s difficult to get that in a read-
realize the call for immediate action. “There’s a line that says, ‘my thoughts and prayers are with you,’ but in the situation of gun violence, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. It’s about policy, it’s about change, it’s about taking action,” she said. “I want audiences to think about that middle point, the gray areas” between anti-gun and progun positions, Taylor said. “If we thought more about the gray, then we’d be closer to finding a solution, rather than being so black and white about it.” The New Play Festival will be held at the Rifle Range Theater on the LIU Post campus in Brookville at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 8 and Saturday, Feb. 9, and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 10. Tickets, which are $15, or $12 for senior citizens and $10 for students with valid ID, can be purchased at the box office or at tix55.com.
