of things to do every week

Chekh it out The masterful plays of Anton Chekhov – The Seagull, The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters – are among the greatest stageworks of the 20th century. But before he created those masterpieces, Chekhov had already won renown as a humorist, the author of such riotous one-act farces known as vaudevilles: Medved (The Bear), Predlozheniye (The Proposal) and Svadba (The Wedding), among others. He wrote these comedies, along with his short stories, to supplement his income while working as a rural doctor.

At 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 28, Actors & Writers will present a staged reading of four short comedies by Chekhov, along with a few excerpts from his letters, in the upstairs theater at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), located at 97 Broadway in the Rondout neighborhood. Admission is by donation ($20 suggested, but no one will be turned away). Parking is available a block away, behind the police station, or on the street. For more information, call ASK at (845) 338-0333.

Rosendale Theatre presents Vanaver Caravan’s World Dance for Families on Saturday

EVENT

Secret City Art Revival in Woodstock

T Bill and Livia Vanaver get to go a lot of places most of the rest of us don’t.

These Rosendale-based cultural ambassadors have spent decades exploring many exotic corners of the world and bringing home the songs, dances and pageantry that they find. It’s always a treat when they put together a sampler program like the one that will be hosted this Saturday by the Rosendale Theatre, as part of the venue’s kid-friendly 2018 Summer Film and

he Obie-winning performance group the Secret City returns to Woodstock with the Secret City Art Revival, a weekend festival of site-specific performance and installation. It takes place from Thursday, July 26 to Sunday, July 29, beginning with a kickoff party at the Byrdcliffe Barn on Thursday at 6 p.m. and ending with the main event, an artistic tent revival featuring Amanda Palmer, Rebel Girls and more under a tent at Andy Lee Field, on Sunday at 2 p.m. The Secret City presses a number of established and ad hoc venues into service throughout the weekend, including Mowers’ Field, the Woodstock Library Lawn, Comeau Park, the Village Green and various businesses.

In creating the event, Chris Wells, artistic director of the Secret City, hoped to make “something inclusive that all people would derive a sense of joy and connection from. It’s a community celebration of the arts, with a live band, a community choir, a lineup of performers and artists, crazy outfits – and everybody has a really great time!”

“Part of the excitement is that it’s a different show every time you come,” says Wells. “You never know what you’re going to get. But it’s always a cool, interesting lineup of people who are making and doing unlikely and interesting things.”

Mars stars in the night

T

God of War struts his stuff

his is the real deal – one of the big nights of the year. It’s the most famous, most feared planet coming extraordinarily close to Earth. Bang the drums.

Bring your in-laws to Mayan pyramids and toss them off. Or just pull up a chair and dig the science.

The fun and games begin Friday night, July 27. That’s the date of the Great 2018 Mars Opposition. That’s when the Sun, the Earth and the planet Mars form a straight line in space. Mars rises just as the Sun sets. Mars, now very close to Earth, is exceptionally brilliant. And it’s out all night long.

By coincidence, Friday night is also the July Full Moon. So the brilliant orange planet and the Full Moon float next to each that night. Talk about easy astronomy.

The eccentric and tilted Martian orbit delays the time of that planet’s very closest approach until Tuesday night, July 31 – not that you’ll notice any difference in its appearance. Look for Mars either night or both nights. But don’t miss it. It hasn’t come this close to us in 15 years, and it won’t again approach this near until the year 2035.

Maybe a little background is in order: Fast-moving Earth catches up to slower Mars every two years and two months. So, after that 26-month interval, Mars returns to our neck of the woods and comes close again, making it brighter than usual. But such Martian oppositions are not created equal. If the meeting of our two worlds happens between July and September, as it does this time around, then Mars is exceptionally close and exceptionally bright. That’s because this is the month when Earth is always farthest from the Sun, while Mars is in the part of its orbit that is closest to the Sun and the Earth. This is what causes the gap between our two orbits to be narrowest in summer.

So Mars is now even brighter than Jupiter, which doesn’t happen very often. After Venus sets in the west at around 10 p.m., Mars is actually the brightest star in the entire sky for the rest of the night. Plus, it’s distinctly orange/yellow. You just can’t miss it.

But if you were trying to miss it, you couldn’t succeed on Friday night because it’s that brilliant orange star next to the Moon. And it will remain the most brilliant starlike object for most of the night for the remainder of the summer.

I’ll be honest with you: It’s a challenging telescope target. It may be larger than normal, but Mars still has a small disc that looks only about half the width of Jupiter, and it

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA PERFORMS THIS SATURDAY AT BARD

he Summer Jazz Academy is Jazz at Lincoln Center’s two-week residential high school institute for advanced study in jazz, and is managed by none other than Wynton Marsalis, whose career is a historic trifecta of classical performance, jazz performance and composition and jazz stewardship.

The Summer Jazz Academy celebrates the next generation of jazz musicians with two concerts at Bard College: the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on Saturday, July 28 at 7 p.m. ($55) and the Summer Jazz Academy Big Bands on Sunday, July 29 at 1 p.m. ($15). All performances are held in Olin Hall, located on the Bard College campus at 60 Manor Avenue in Annandaleon-Hudson. Tickets can be purchased at http://fishercenter.bard.edu/jazz.

and Saturday, August 10 and 11 from noon to 2 p.m. Tickets cost $55 for adults and $35 for children under 17. The ship’s crew don pirate and sailor garb, spin pirate tales, host a scavenger hunt and raise the Jolly Roger. Costumes are optional for guests.

To book your sail, visit www. kalmarnyckel.org/bookasail.asp. While tickets may also be purchased at the dock prior to a scheduled sail, it is best to make reservations. The Hudson River Maritime Museum is located at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston.

Does summery weather make you yearn to get out on the water, preferably on a vessel powered by the wind rather than a stinky, noisy motor?

From August 3 through 12, you’ll have multiple opportunities to do that, aboard the sailing ship of your dreams: the Kalmar Nyckel. It’s a full-scale replica of the Dutch-built, squarerigged merchant pinnace that brought Swedish settlers led by Peter Minuit to North America in 1638 to establish the colony of New Sweden, later known as Delaware. With ten cannons, 7,500 square feet of sails, six miles of rigging and a ten-story-high mainmast, the Kalmar Nyckel is a sight to be seen.

On Saturday, August 4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, August 5 from 2 to 6 p.m., the ship will be open for deck tours while docked at the Hudson River Maritime Museum on the Strand in Kingston’s Rondout District. Visitors can ring the ship’s bell, march around the capstan and steer the ship using the whipstaff. Deck tours cost $10 for adults and $5 for children under age 17; younger kids come aboard for free.

Captain Lauren Morgens will present a special talk, “Working the Kalmar Nyckel: Understanding History and Innovation through a Sailing Ship” at 7 p.m. on Saturday, August 4. Lecture tickets are $10 for purchase at the Hudson River Maritime Museum.

But you wanted to be out on the actual river, didn’t you? Day sails are scheduled from noon to 2:30 p.m. on Monday, August 6, Thursday, August 9 and Sunday, August 12, and from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 3, Monday, August 6 and Thursday to Sunday, August 9 through 12.

Guests are invited to haul lines, set sails and enjoy maritime tales of the original Kalmar Nyckel – or just bring along a picnic and enjoy time on the water. Prices for day sails are $60 for adults, $40 for children under 17.

Special Pirate Sails have been added to the schedule for the more adventurous and young at heart. The Kalmar Nyckel welcomes landlubbers to “walk the plank” for a fun-filled Pirate Sail on Sunday, August 5 from 10 a.m. to noon or Friday

LADY ANTEBELLUM AND DARIUS RUCKER AT BETHEL WOODS

Whitecliff wine-tasting before Book Club screening in Rosendale The Rosendale Theatre and Whitecliff Vineyard join forces on Thursday, July 26 at 6:30 p.m. at a Book Club screening designed for wine- and book-lovers.

In addition to being serious about wine, Whitecliff Vineyard’s owners are fans of reading, so they are creating a monthly book club and a small lending library at the winery. Rosendale’s screening of Book Club – a romantic comedy starring Diane Keaton and Jane Fonda as fellow members of a book club – struck them as the perfect opportunity to announce the new endeavor.

Showtime for Book Club is 7:15 p.m. at the Rosendale Theatre, located at 408 Main Street in Rosendale. Wine-tastings will be offered in the lobby starting at 6:30 p.m. for 45 minutes before the show.

wonder if Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker tour with their combined ten Grammys on display. Seven of them belong to wily country megastar vocal trio Lady Antebellum, but Rucker’s three might carry as much weight, as he forded the great divide between rock and country to lasso them, making him a kind of Noam Chomsky figure. With special guest Russell Dickerson in support, Lady Antebellum and Hootie and the Blowfish-frontman-turned-modern-country-megastar Darius Rucker perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Thursday, July 26 at 7 p.m. Reserved tickets fetch between the Ticketmaster-friendly totals of $71.25 to $123.25, while your own scrap of lawn will set you back $38.50.

Founded in 1968 by three artists, Sam Spanier, Eric Hughes and Lee Brooks, the Matagiri Sri Aurobindo Center in Mount Tremper will celebrate its 50th anniversary on August 2 with a four-day gathering at the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, highlighted by a Saturday-night performance of music and dance by the Vanaver Caravan. The theme of the conference is “Art as a Bridge,” reflecting the fact that the inspiration behind the Center, Sri Aurobindo, was a poet and his collaborator, Mira Alfassa, was an artist who trained at the Academie Julian in Paris.

A number of the events are open to the public, including a Friday-evening Indian Classical concert and the Saturday-night benefit performance for the Vanaver Caravan, both at 7:30 p.m. Bill and Livia Vanaver have been conducting classes and creating performances in Auroville in India over the past four winters. Saturday afternoon will feature a talk by Aviram Rozin, who in 2003 started Sadhana Forest, a reforestation project on 70 acres of degraded land.

OPERA

Anton Rubinstein’s Demon opens at Bard

T

hough wildly popular in its native Russia, Anton Rubinstein’s 1871 opera Demon is rarely mounted in the West. So it naturally falls to Bard SummerScape, with its ongoing mission to revive at least one unjustly neglected operatic work at the Fisher Center each summer, to right this wrong. Best-known as a keyboard virtuoso and star teacher whose students included Tchaikovsky, Rubinstein was also a prolific composer – not to mention a contemporary of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, the focus of the 2018 iteration of the Bard Music Festival. Consequently, the time has come for summoning Demon, the most popular of Rubinstein’s 20 operas, to American shores. The new production opens this Friday and runs for five performances through August 5.

Thaddeus Strassberger, director of such previous SummerScape opera success stories as Der ferne Klang, Les Huguenots and Oresteia, will helm the production.

The vocal cast includes baritone Efim Zavalny, making his US debut in the title role.

Also performing will be soprano Olga Tolkmit as Tamara, bass Andrey Valentii as Prince Gudal, mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Egorova as Tamara’s Nanny, tenor Alexander Nesterenko as Prince Sinodal, bass-baritone Yakov Strizhak as the Old Servant, mezzo-soprano Nadezhda Babintseva as the Angel and tenor Pavel Sulyandziga as the Messenger. Leon Botstein will conduct the American Symphony Orchestra and James Bagwell the Bard Festival Chorale.

Demon will be performed in the Sosnoff Theater of the Fisher Center in Annandale at 8 p.m. on July 27 and at 2 p.m. on July 29, August 1, 3 and 5. Ticket prices start at $25 general admission, $5 for Bard students. A free Opera Talk will precede the July 29 matinée.

Historic Red Hook hosts “Mozart at the Elmendorph,” a performance of two Mozart viola quintets by the Hudson Valley Consort: Daniel Lee and Emily Hale, violins; Alissa Smith and Scot Moore, violas; and Christine Gummere, cello.

n the ’70s and into the ’80s, the saxophone was the first non-canonical rock instrument that rock would reach for.

In the doleful ’90s, it was the doleful solo cello. In the aughts and beyond, it has been brass – and not solo trumpets or trombones, but rich brass ensembles spanning backline funk and classical chamber styles. In recognition of this renaissance, of brass’ moment in the sun, we have the Hudson Valley Brassroots on Saturday, July 28 from 1 to 10 p.m.

Brassroots is a one-day affair with no fewer than eight brass ensembles performing at Seed Song Farm, located at 160 Esopus Avenue in Kingston. The bands on the bill are some of the best-known in the genre, including Brooklyn’s Raya Brass Band, the What Cheer!

cities designed to fool our great-grandparents, not us, patched and repatched (absolute frugality serving, as it often does, the higher purpose of continuity) and, we pray, routinely and scrupulously inspected by local certifying bodies where such bodies still hold the authority and own the knowledge, but effectively unchanged since the days, in the late 1920s, when my father’s uncle Stanley left his house and family while my father played in his yard. My father said, “Where are you going, Uncle Stanley?” and Stanley said, “to the store.” And my father asked, “Can I go with you?” as he often did, and Stanley said, “Not this time, Jack.” And no one saw Stanley again for years and years, until someone thought he recognized him passing through town with the carnival.

If we study the ways of ghosts, we see

that, for their forms and gestures, they prefer the antique. The first thing they do when born is to shed the clothes, language and technologies of their own time and adopt the habits not of one fixed period, but of a certain sliding ghost-lag interval behind the present. They cleave forthwith to the version of the weird old world they acquired early in their organic lives, transmitted to them via cigar boxes and print adverts for tonics, meters saved in shoeboxes by grieving and frugal grandmothers, instruments designed to measure output in units no longer recognized. But, of course, my grandfather’s ferambules and grotchets are your grandfather’s half-wex spanches and torsillaries. Thus does ghost culture inch forward, conservatively, angrily, through time, a full gaggle-and-a-half of generations behind, and always lagging

We are at a momentous and defining time in ghost history. I don’t believe they will ever figure out how to inhabit digital, perhaps out of sheer distaste for it and a ghastly certainty, based on knowledge vouchsafed at their moment of passage, that digital is pyrite and gutless soy cheese, a rosy, parched dead end for humanity. It is drying our souls.

Get thee to the carnival!

My carnival is the Ulster County Fair – “a real country fair,” says its local TV ad, the emphasis a seeming dig at the high-fiber, old-money affair across the river. But as we have established beyond dispute above, in the world of county fairs, real means fake. My county’s fair only ever disappointed me in that its city of night did not extend in all directions, unfolding in never-ending variety and surprise, through danger, through rausch, through dream. In retrospect, that was a lot to ask. It is a good old fair.

The Ulster County Fair lights up the fairgrounds in New Paltz from July 31 through August 5. On the music front, headliners include Thunder Ridge, Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters, the Charlie Daniels Band, Keith Anderson, Jenny Tolman, Cale Dodds and former Journey lead singer Steve Auger. Always a value-conscious event for the people, the fair charges a general admission price of $17, which includes all midway rides, shows, entertainment and parking.

Tuesday is Carload Night, where cars carrying up to eight people are admitted for $50. Wednesday is Senior Night.

ALMANAC WEEKLY CHITA RIVERA WAS THE ORIGINAL Anita in West Side Story, the original Rose in Bye Bye Birdie, the original Velma in Chicago, the woman who scorched the screen with “Hey, Big Spender” as Nickie in the movie version of Sweet Charity.

Get your kicks Broadway icon Chita Rivera performs at Bard’s Spiegeltent this Saturday

I

f Chita Rivera’s career had its own theme song, it would probably be “There’s Gotta Be Something Better than This,” from Sweet Charity – specifically the refrain that goes, “I’m gonna get up, get out and do it!” That line, Rivera tells Almanac Weekly, was her inspiration when she was putting her life back together after an automobile wreck in 1986 that fractured her left leg in 12 places. It’s the sort of horror story that makes one appreciate why some dancers’ legs need their own insurance policies.

“I’ve got 16 screws in one leg and two plates,” Rivera says. Though she shrugs off the life-changing event as her “destiny” and jokes that it enables her to “tell more interesting stories,” she also admits, “I could have done without it.”

Undeterred, she opened a restaurant called Chita’s two years later, catering to the Broadway crowd, while working hard on rehabilitation. She recalls the encouragement she got from her friend, dancer/choreographer Gary Chryst, who had made a similarly difficult comeback after severing his Achilles tendon: “‘It’ll just be different,’ he said. He was right.

You acclimate yourself to the differences.”

By 1993, Rivera was not only back onstage, but winning her second Tony Award: Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Aurora in Kiss of the Spider Woman. She has been nominated for Tonys ten times (a record equaled only

by Julie Harris), including one in 2015 for her most recent Broadway outing: The Visit, the final musical written by John Kander, Fred Ebb and Terrence McNally. That’s not counting the Lifetime Achievement Tony that she just got, or her 2002 Kennedy Center Honors award or her 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom.

And she’s not done yet, by a long shot.

At 85 years old, with a legful of metal, Chita Rivera is still dancing up a storm, and headed for a stage near you as part of a seemingly nonstop national careerretrospective tour. Chita: A Legendary Celebration comes to the Spiegeltent at Bard SummerScape this Saturday, July 28 at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Two shows, people.

When the Associated Press calls her “a force of nature,” it’s not kidding.

This will be Rivera’s first time performing in a Spiegeltent. “I’ve never

been up to Bard before,” she says. “I’m very curious about this building…

It’s wonderful to play tents. It’ll be a remembrance of what it used to be in the ’60s, when I was doing summer stock. I’ve eaten a lot of mosquitos.”

The legendary actress/singer/dancer will be accompanied by her longtime backing trio: Michael Croiter, Jim Donice and Gary Adler. Rivera describes the revue as “90 minutes of joy and fun, going back a little bit in time… I’m fortunate to have worked with all the great composers and choreographers. I’ll be telling stories from different shows.” In case you haven’t been keeping up, this is a reminder that we’re talking about the original Anita in West Side Story, the original Rose in Bye Bye Birdie, the original Velma in Chicago, the woman who scorched the screen with “Hey, Big Spender” as Nickie in the movie version of Sweet Charity. There must be some great anecdotes to go along with

While any bio notes that Chita Rivera was the first Latina to receive the Kennedy Center honor, she downplays her role as a pioneer. “I didn’t go into theater because there were not a lot of Latinas. I wanted to dance and sing and not break my mother’s furniture!” That said, she sees opportunities for people of color on Broadway broadening nowadays – especially in the wake of the extraordinary success of Hamilton, which she calls “groundbreaking, just as West Side Story was.”

Part of Rivera’s current role as an elder stateswoman of the Great White Way is to give pep talks to aspiring thespians and dancers. She says that she was “buzzed for days” after talking to students on Manhattan’s West Side recently. “We should inspire each other.

Let the sun shine in Opus 40 hosts Hair this Sunday

Hair, the “tribal love/rock musical” that paved the way for all the rock musicals, wonderful and dreadful, that followed it onto Broadway, is marking its 50th anniversary this year. Is a new generation ready to embrace it as their own? Tad Richards, artistic director at Opus 40 in Saugerties, thinks that they might be. He has invited New Jersey’s Centenary Stage Company to mount a new production this Sunday at the bluestone sculpture park in Saugerties this Sunday afternoon.

“The natural splendor of Opus 40 is an ideal setting for the life-affirming energy of Hair, and we think this is a match made in heaven,” says Richards.

Indeed, it’s difficult to think of a stage hereabouts that would feel more “organic” for the 1968 musical, written by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, with music by Galt MacDermot. Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, Hair remains as relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world. Songs like “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” “I Got Life” and “Let the Sun Shine In” can still warm the countercultural cockles of your heart.

The Centenary Stage Company’s production of Hair at Opus 40 takes place on Sunday, July 29 at 1 p.m. Bring a picnic and enjoy this stunning, one-ofa-kind site. Tickets cost $30 in advance and $40 on the day of the event. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.opus40.org. For more on the troupe, visit www.centenarystageco.org.

Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Road in the High Woods neighborhood of western Saugerties.

Horton by the Stream stages Convicts this weekend in Elka Park Some community theater groups see summertime as an excuse to p e r f o r m Shakespeare out of doors, or to lure in the crowds with musical comedies. Up in Elka Park, however, the troupe that calls itself Horton by the Stream dedicates itself to a more unusual mission: reviving the stageworks of Horton Foote, a 20 thcentury Texan popularly known for his Oscar-winning screenplays for To Kill a Mockingbird and Tender Mercies.

Foote (shown above) also won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, in 1995, for The Young Man from Atlanta. Each summer for the past 24 years, Horton by the Stream has been doing its part to ensure that this important American dramatist is not forgotten. This weekend is your chance to familiarize yourself with Convicts, a segment of Foote’s nine-play Orphans’ Home Cycle, set in 1904. Convicts was made into a 1991 film, directed by Peter Masterson and starring Robert Duvall, Lukas Haas and James Earl Jones.

Greg Grove directs the Horton by the Stream production of Convicts, with performances beginning at 2 p.m. on

Saturday and Sunday, July 28 and 29.

Admission is by a suggested donation of $10. The venue is Carver’s Barn Outdoor Stage, located at 209 Elka Park Road in Tannersville. Turn right at the Elka Park Post Office, up Greenhill Road to the first property on the left. To find out more, call (646) 206-7172 or visit www. hortonbythestream.org.

There is no formal charge for admission to Woodstock Shakespeare Festival productions, although a donation of $10 is suggested. Bring a chair, bring a blanket, bring a picnic.

Outdoor Romeo and Juliet at the Comeau Property in Woodstock

42nd Street opens at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck

When was the last time you saw Romeo and Juliet? It may have been the first Shakespeare play you ever read, back in ninth grade; but isn’t it time for a refresher? The Woodstock Shakespeare Festival brings the starcrossed lovers to the Comeau Property’s Elizabethan-styled Festival Stage for the rest of this summer, opening this Friday. Performances begin at 5:30 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from July 27 through September 2.

Christopher Martin directs this summer’s show, which stars David Remple and Yasemin Eti as the young lovers torn apart by feuding families. Martin was founding artistic director of the Classic Stage Company – better-known as CSC Repertory – in New York City, where he directed and acted in more than 100 productions. He has directed, designed and composed music for productions in national and state theatres abroad, and has written several novels. His rock opera Quasimodo, first seen in Woodstock in 1987, had its world premiere in Europe a decade ago. His work as a translator on the Heiner Mueller text for Robert Wilson’s The Civil Wars was nominated for the 1985 Pulitzer Prize.

The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck presents the popular Tonywinning musical 42nd Street, with performances running from Friday, July 27 to Sunday, August 19. This production is directed and choreographed by Kevin Archambault for Up in One Productions.

42nd Street was written by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble with lyrics by Al Dubin and Johnny Mercer and music

by Harry Warren. The story concerns famed director Julian Marsh (Alan Lipper) as he attempts to put on a new musical production during the height of the Great Depression. Shows begin on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $27, $25 for seniors.

ALMANAC WEEKLY DIRECTOR DEBRA GRANIK HAS BEEN NOTED for her knack in discovering incredible, hitherto-unknown actresses (Vera Farmiga, Jennifer Lawrence) and setting them on the path to Oscar nomination, and it looks like the gifted young New Zealander Thomasin McKenzie will be the next to burst out of the gate.

Thomasin McKenzie and Ben Foster in Leave No Trace

BLEECKER STREET

Out of the woods Leave No Trace is a powerful study of a father/daughter bond

A

s a character in the human narrative, the wilderness has played many roles over the eons, from progenitor to antagonist to victim to healer.

It’s ever-ready to serve as the handiest of metaphors for the unconscious. Literature leans on it liberally to construct conflict, both internal and external, and to test the mettle of heroes. For every shipwreck survivor desperately trying to keep body and soul together while dreaming of rescue, you’ll find a hermit deliberately seeking solace and transcendence in solitude in some cave or atop some pillar.

The title of Debra Granik’s newest film, Leave No Trace, is misleading in its suggestion that we’re about to see a documentary about zero-impact camping.

Its protagonists, troubled war veteran Will (Ben Foster) and his 13-year-old daughter Tom (Thomasin McKenzie), certainly have made a science of covering their tracks in the forests of the Northwest; but it’s motivated more by fear of their fellow humans than by a commitment to environmental ethics.

Over her career, in films such as Down to the Bone, Winter’s Bone and Stray Dog, Granik has made a specialty of inviting the viewer into the psyches of people who live on the fringes of modern society. With

a screenplay co-written with Granik’s frequent collaborator Anne Rosellini, Leave No Trace is based on Peter Rock’s novel My Abandonment, inspired by a true story of a father and daughter discovered to have been living off the land for four years in a park outside Portland, Oregon. In it we are afforded glimpses of a subculture of vets whose PTSD makes them marginally employable, who find each other out and offer mutual support while living mostly off the grid, voluntarily out of reach of the well-intentioned government safety-net systems that are supposed to be offering them help.

We never find out what war it was that never stops exploding inside Will’s head; we just see him wake with a violent start from a nightmare into a hypervigilant stance, or cower and cover his head anytime a helicopter passes over their wooded hideaway. We don’t hear what experience it was that made him so averse to being asked questions; we simply see him responding, when Tom asks him his favorite color, with “What’s your favorite color?� A battery of psychological-profile questions administered by a social-service agency leaves him nearly catatonic.

This is a character for whom maintaining

opacity is a matter of survival, which only serves to heighten the brilliance of Foster’s nuanced portrayal of a very demanding role. It’s in his interactions with Tom, and in one short scene with a horse, that we are allowed access to the tender depths of Will’s wounded heart. Illuminating the companionable, mostly nonverbal bond between father and daughter constitutes about two-thirds of this tale, but you’ll never be left wondering when something is going to happen. Will sees his peril in being forced to live around other people; Tom gradually discovers that hers lies in being isolated from the community she craves by her father’s obsessive need for

invisibility – to leave no trace, wherever he goes.

While Will’s inner turmoil is the driver of this story, Tom is the one who is coming of age, who is capable of growth and change; so in the end, the audience’s loyalty must lie with her. Fortunately, McKenzie is skilled and expressive enough to hold up her end of the relationship splendidly.

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

Queen of hearts “‘Probably nothing wrong’ is the leading cause of health care today.”

– Dave Barry

“A

nd here’s your diary to log details while you wear this Holter heart monitor,” explains the tech. I brighten right up. After a grueling electrocardiogram (electro meaning non-awesome and cardio gram meaning endless torso gel torture), writing a narrative sounds like fun. I pack an extra pen in my purse; these electrodes, wires and data box are my constant companions for the next 24 hours. Who knows what will happen?

“The heart has its own language.

The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.”

– Rumi Next time, the tech might be more specific with her instructions. But today, I log everything: • Time: 8:32 a.m. Description: Kiss Mike good-bye as he leaves for work. Symptoms: Fantastic!

• 11:08 a.m. Still gearing up for this Adirondack overnight. Getting there!

• 12:32 p.m. So far, so good on the highway. Relieved!

• 2:16 p.m. Saw cool mountain vista, including Mt. Marcy. Excited!

• 2:17 p.m. OMG we saw the source of the Hudson River! Wowza!

• 4:27 p.m. Laughed so hard we cried recording car ride mini-documentaries.

Hilarious!

• 5:54 p.m. Cabin! Home!

• 5:59 p.m. Cabin toilet clogged. Make kids eat salad tonight. Brick!

• 6:43 p.m. Lake is impossibly beautiful. Beautiful!

• 9:38 p.m. Close, but “Team Winning” (my team) lost at Taboo. Sad! • 11:36 p.m. I hope I have more things to write in the morning before removing my Holter! I have a whole page left! Curious!

• 8:34 a.m. Packing up, Holter’s almost time to come off! Glad!

• 9:15 a.m. Peeled off electrode things and am now liberated of my Walkman data box – all done! Thrilled!

“They should tell you when you’re born: Have a suitcase heart, be ready to travel.”

– Gabrielle Zevin August marks a new cairn, a fresh year of my cancer journey. My heart has indeed traveled, and she still appears to have some beats left in there.

But I’m feeling her invite me to trek more closely. To travel within her. She beckons me toward a fuller view of her, like the landscape I absorbed during my recent helicopter ride over the White Mountains: a perspective of a panorama that suddenly made sense of vast swaths of rivers and rock peaks unintelligible to me from static roadside or summit. She consistently claims wholeness, much like the aerial view. One shift she’s teaching me is a fatigue of the duality of Good versus Cancer. There are plenty of altitudes between peaks and valleys. I’m not fighting, I’m feeling. I’m not running, I’m reflecting. I’m crying, and I’m laughing. I am whole, no matter what I’m going

to Oscar nomination, and it looks like this gifted young New Zealander will be the next to burst out of the gate.

The rest of the cast is very strong as well, despite having small allocations of screentime. Dale Dickey, looking like Carrie Fischer might have after a decade or two of living mostly on a motorcycle, makes an especially zesty impression as a compassionate outsider who becomes a sort of surrogate mother to Tom. As for that other major character, the wilderness: It’s exquisitely rendered t h r o u g h Mi c h a e l Mc D o n o u g h’s cinematography, delicately beautiful and nurturing one moment, harsh, muddy and bone-chilling the next.

Leave No Trace won’t necessarily entice you to go camping in the Pacific Northwest. Nor does it offer any particularly encouraging answers about what might be done on a societal level for the traumatized among us, short of not sending any more of them off to war.

Unlike other recent films about people surviving in the wild that might be held up for comparison – Captain Fantastic, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Moonrise Kingdom – the story is somber, rarely leavened by comedy. But it will, as the youngsters like to say on social media these days, give you all the feels.

International Festival of the Voice coming to Phoenicia August 3-5 At this time in history, when women’s voices are being heard as never before, it seems appropriate that the female voice will be the focus of the ninth annual Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, “Sirens of the Voice.” It opens Friday evening, August 3 and runs through Sunday, August 5.

Programs on the main stage in Phoenicia Park will showcase the great divas of gospel, Broadway favorites and a performance of Giacomo Rossini’s first opera, La Cambiale di Matrimonio (The Marriage Contract), preceding the highlight of the festival: George Bizet’s ultimate siren, Carmen.

More than 168 international artists who usually perform in venues such as the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City will come to Phoenicia for the festival, which makes the general-admission lawnseating tickets quite the bargain at $35 for

“You’ve a good heart. Sometimes that’s enough to see you safe wherever you go.

But mostly, it’s not.”

Today could lead to some terrific insights, such as a new way to avoid putting away clean laundry. I trust my heart. I don’t know how many beats we have left together, but I keep getting the spiritual message that I cannot control that part and not to worry about it. Considering my heart as a companion feels warmer and more intimate than I’d considered her before. I’m accessing some more of her wisdom.

adults. Tickets for age 18 and under cost just $5. There is also a $95 VIP option that offers a reserved seating section in front of the stage, a pre-performance reception and tickets to attend a dress rehearsal of Carmen on Thursday, August 2.

On opening night, Friday, August 3, the great female gospel singers of our time will be honored in “The Sirens of Gospel” at 8 p.m. on the main stage at Phoenicia Park.

The voices of Mahalia Jackson, Shirley Caesar, Kim Burrell, Aretha Franklin and Albertina Walker, among others, will be personified by some of today’s finest vocal talent. They will be accompanied by the jazz ensemble of multi-genre recording artist Damien Sneed, in his first appearance at the Phoenicia festival.

Sneed is founder and artistic director of Chorale Le Chateau, which has gained a global reputation for its interpretations of vocal works from Renaissance period pieces to jazz, spirituals, gospel and avantgarde contemporary music. The concert is co-produced by the Catskill Jazz Factory.

Festival events take place, rain or shine, at multiple venues over the three days.

Daytime activities over the weekend include pre-show discussions and lectures, and workshops to help the singer in us all find our pitch. Several master classes will be held for vocal students, with the public welcome to observe. All the details are on the website.

Saturday afternoon will bring a performance by the amazing female a cappella group Lady Parts (featuring New Paltz native Catherine Thorpe), whose repertoire spans genres from opera to Big Band and rock. They’ll perform at the

Catholic church in Phoenicia on Saturday, August 4 from 11 a.m. to noon. Then, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, the Phoenicia Playhouse will host Eric Grant’s moving new play, Bleecker Street, which follows a family’s turmoil in the wake of the Orlando Pulse nightclub massacre as they await news of their son. The performance will be reprised on Sunday, August 5 at 12:30 p.m. Tickets for these performances also cost $35 for adults or $5 for age 18 and under.

Saturday evening, August 4, brings two operatic performances. First up, from 5 to 7 p.m., will be Rossini’s first opera, La Cambiale di Matrimonio, which he composed when he was just 18 years old.

The story is about the farcical attempts of a rich English merchant to force his daughter into an arranged marriage with a suitable man, before love wins out in the end.

The performance is followed by a preshow talk about Carmen with veteran conductor Michael Fennelly, who will delve into the historical details of Bizet’s masterwork, making comparisons with the novel on which the opera is based.

Fennelly will offer interesting details about the women who have embodied Carmen and the many reasons the opera is so renowned.

Carmen takes the stage at 8 p.m. Staged and directed by festival co-founder Maria Todaro and conducted by maestro David Wroe, the production will feature two sisters in the primary female roles: Ginger Costa-Jackson as Carmen and Miriam Costa-Jackson in the role of Micaela.

chronicles the jealous passion of Don José for Carmen, the Gypsy factory girl who lures him away from his duty as a soldier and his childhood sweetheart, Micaela, setting in motion a chain of tragedies.

Set in Seville, the time period in the opera has been changed to 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. According to director Todaro, the new setting suggests that the characters are committed not only to the pursuit of their own happiness, but also to advancing a political cause. The Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939, pitted Nationalist insurgents allied with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany against Republicans aided by the Soviet Union and by international brigades; nearly 3,000 US volunteers were known collectively as the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Carmen, the ultimate “free spirit,” is a strong woman fighting for female emancipation and for the Republican cause.

More than 150 people will be onstage for the production, in the chorus and as extras, with many local adults and children in the cast.

Carmen was not a success when it was first performed in 1875. Although Bizet wrote to a friend that he had “absolute certainty of having found my path” in the work, he died just three months later at

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Currant events

B

It’s time to taste blackcurrants and Alpine strawberries

efore the blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) season totally winds down, I suggest you try to get a taste of the fresh berries. Do so if you’ve never tasted them.

And do so even if you have tasted them and found them bad-tasting.

Why taste them if you haven’t? Because if you end up liking them, they’re easy to grow and nutritious: super-rich in vitamin C (two to three times as much as oranges) and other goodies. Deer don’t particularly like the very aromatic stems and leaves, and birds – even my ducks – ignore the berries. They are among the few berries that thrive and bear well even in some shade. They have few insect or disease problems.

And the berries taste good, very good – some varieties better than others.

My “currant” favorites are the varieties Belaruskaja and Titania, either of which I recommend tasting if you’ve previously had a bad gustatory experience with blackcurrants.

Then again, blackcurrants have a strong flavor. Not everyone has to like them.

What Liberty Hyde Bailey, the “father of American horticulture,” wrote about

apples in 1922 would apply equally well to kinds and varieties of fruits, including blackcurrants: “Why do we need so many kinds of apples? Because there are so many folks. A person has a right to gratify his legitimate tastes.”

Then again (again), just about everybody likes blackcurrants concocted into a jam, a pie, a syrup or an alcoholic drink (as in cassis). I like mine straight-up – fresh in summer, frozen and defrosted in winter. (I saw that Ray Tousey, of Tousey Winery, has the juice for sale at the Kingston Farmers’ market.)

Blackcurrants are super-rich in vitamin C (two to three times as much as oranges)

You may have heard of some disease to which blackcurrants – and red currants and gooseberries – are prone, and was responsible for their being illegal to grow. The condition is white pine blister rust, a fungal disease that needs two different plant hosts to survive. One host is white pine, a common forest tree. And the other is a susceptible species of Ribes, which includes currants and gooseberries.

the US from Europe in the early 20th century. Because white pine was such an important timber crop, a federal ban was enacted to control the disease that not only made it illegal to plant currants and gooseberries, but also sent crews scouring forests and gardens from which to rip plants out of the ground.

Alas, the ban was not very effective.

Wild plants were everywhere; when conditions were suitable, disease spores could be carried hundreds of miles. And cultivated varieties of gooseberries and currants proved not to be very susceptible to the disease. The federal ban was lifted in the 1960s.

Blackcurrants were definitely a culprit, but in the latter half of the 20th century, three varieties were bred in Canada that were immune to the disease. I grew one of them, the variety Consort, and thought

I hope everyone else is enjoying at least some homegrown berries this time of year as much as I am. Berries generally are easy to grow and taste much, much, much better backyardgrown than purchased, because you can grow the best of them and pick them when dead-ripe.

Perhaps the most perishable berry, and one of the most delicious, berry is the Alpine strawberry. It’s a different species from common strawberries (Fragaria vesta rather than F. x ananassa). They’re also quite small, with big ones about the size of a nickel. But they pack a lot of flavor and fragrance into that small package, and do so all summer long.

Problem is that birds eat the berries as soon as they’re just beginning to blush. If picked then, the flavor is akin to cotton soaked in lemon juice. Flavor and aroma don’t develop until they’re dead-ripe.

So I grow white Alpine strawberries.

Birds don’t see them, and I can wait until they turn a creamy-white color and the seeds darken. At that point of ripeness, the berries are very, very soft – not something that could be picked for later sale, let alone shipping. Everybody who tastes them exclaims “Wow!” or something similar.

If you’re hungry for more growing and historical details, Alpine strawberries and blackcurrants each get a chapter in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden.

it tasted good. Other people disagreed.

A number of other varieties have since been developed that are resistant to the disease. The previously mentioned Belaruskaja and Titania are among them.

I dug up my Consort plants years ago and put in Belaruskaja and Titania, and now have to share my berries.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my NECESSITY. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this NECESSITY. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

FOR ADOPTION- Handsome, Sweet 9-year old Gray Cat Boy, Quicksilver, has been through so much. He lost his lifelong cat friend/brother. He was put outside when a fragile baby came home and the doctor recommended no pets in the house. He’s been neutered, up-to-date w/shots and litter pan trained. He’s now in a house in Shandaken where the resident cat has attacked him. He’s not sure why such bad things are happening to such a good cat.

Quicksilver needs a new lap and a new person to love him. If you think that person could be you, please call (845)514-9694.

FOR ADOPTION: Danny Boy is a handsome Gray Cat Boy w/the softest fur ever!

He’s neutered, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. The vet estimates Danny Boy’s age as under 2-years. And did I mention: Danny Boy is one of the sweetest, most trusting cats you could ever hope to meet? If you’re interested in meeting him at his foster home in Shokan, please email DRJLPK@aol.com or text/call (917)2822018.
