ombining a packed schedule of performances, competitions and open master classes, a positively grueling training regimen for a small group of well-vetted aspirants and, one imagines, a few pretty high-end cocktail parties, PianoSummer at SUNY-New Paltz returns for another season of celebrating the continued vitality of the 88 keys and the centuries’ worth of brilliant music written for them.

The brainchild of its artistic director, the prolific master pianist Vladimir Feltsman, PianoSummer has succeeded in punching well above its weight, attracting a grade of guest instructor and of student that easily rivals or exceeds larger festivals with greater name value, more spectacular settings and much larger budgets. The secret to its outsize success, Feltsman has always argued, lies in the depth and rigor of the training it provides the students – simply put, more instructional time with more teachers, a great lure for young talent in this exactingly competitive and exclusive field.

Felstman is fond of saying that PianoSummer serves those who can play, not those who can pay. Several years ago, Feltsman cited this redoubled commitment to actual training and financial support for students as the reason why he made the difficult decision

Woodstock: Yea or nay? Go or no?

Since announcing that the festival would no longer be taking place in at Watkins Glen, the concert’s promoters, including original Woodstock producer Michael Lang, have ardently maintained that Woodstock 50 will happen, and will be special. Neither snow nor rain nor the acrimonious withdrawal of support by the original plan’s primary financier, Dentsu, can keep the people from their Woodstock.

With a court settlement in their favor, a new sponsor in Oppenheimer & Co. and some leads on replacement venues (Vernon Downs racetrack), word from the organizers seemed upbeat; according to a recent article in Billboard by Dave Brooks, however, the signals are still decidedly mixed, and time is short. Brooks reports that, to date, the Woodstock 50 organizers have yet to contact artists with the details of a new site, or of anything else.

Brooks also suggests that the move from Watkins Glen gives the performing artists all the legal pretext they would need to pull out from the event, if the withdrawal of Dentsu, with whom the contracts were negotiated, hadn’t already accomplished that. According to Brooks, word from the agencies representing many of the Woodstock 50 seems increasingly dire.

“Each artist will have to make a decision about whether this is something they want to take on, now that so much has changed,” a source tells Billboard. “Often, the artist will feel compelled to play because they don’t want to disappoint their fans, but in the case of Woodstock 50, no one has bought tickets.”

And in news that will comes as no surprise to Hudson Valley locals, a Rolling Stone story published on June 25 finds Michael Lang upbeat and defiant, even as he realistically addresses the absurdly tight, Fyrelike window in which he has to work. Will Woodstock 50 fail to happen?

“No,” Lang told Rolling Stone. “I am not gearing up for that. That’s not how I approach things anyway. I’m kind of an optimist. And yes, it definitely helps in this case.”

Stay tuned.

“Quiet No More: A Choral Celebration of Stonewall” New York City Gay Men’s Chorus Saturday, July 6, 8 p.m. $45 The Lumberyard

In case you slept through the entirety of Pride Month, the Stonewall Riots in Manhattan, which sparked a national groundswell of activism for LGBTQ rights, are among the history-making events of 1969 whose 50th anniversaries are being remembered this year.

The 260+-member New York City Gay Men’s Chorus (NYCGMC) has put together a commemorative program to take on the road titled “Quiet No More: A Choral Celebration of Stonewall,” and it’s coming to an arts venue near you – namely, the Lumberyard in Catskill – on Saturday, July 6 at 8 p.m.

Founded by a member of the pioneering San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus who had relocated to New York in 1980, just before the AIDS crisis grabbed the headlines, the NYCGMC attained almost instant success, earning lavish praise from music critics even as it became a noted voice and major fundraising force for the campaign to control the deadly epidemic.

Guided tours of the historic landscape are available daily for the first time, and explore the forests and meadows, the farm and lake, the carriage roads and the expansive views from Olana, the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains.

The goal of the tours, state Olana’s curators, is to move Olana to the forefront of historic house museums as a holistic environment and worldclass destination, present visitors with a memorable and educational experience and shed light on the significance of Frederic Church as one of the preeminent American artists of the mid-19th century.

The season features “In Frederic Church’s Ombra: Architecture in Conversation with Nature,” a design exhibition curated by Barry Bergdoll open through November 3. Bergdoll (of Columbia University and the Museum of Modern Art) invited a group of today’s most exploratory architects to respond to the transitional outdoor rooms at Olana that are so essential to the original 19 th-century design of Olana’s Main House.

SPIEGELTENT TO HOST CATSKILL JAZZ FACTORY’S “SINGERS & SONGBOOKS” SERIES ON THURSDAYS

I

t certainly can and has been argued that jazz is America’s foremost original contribution to the serious music tradition – a hypothesis that only gains in credibility as jazz continues its evolution toward an academic and grant-driven art of the concert halls. This is not to discount the global significance of such American composers as Gershwin, Copland or John Cage (or Amy Beach or Virgil Thompson or William Grant Still); but even into the early 20th century, in music as in literature, Americans followed the lead of the imposing, centuries-old continental achievement. We spawned some undeniable contenders and original voices, but there was never a question about the direction in which the tradition flowed.

With jazz, starting with Armstrong and then especially with jazz’s greatest composer, Duke Ellington, the lead/follow narrative flipped, and the world – all of it – stood in awe of this uniquely American and indisputably formidable new artform. One only need to listen to Maurice Ravel’s brilliant Piano Concerto in G, in which the French master appropriated the sound of his good friend George Gershwin’s appropriations of African American jazz music, to hear the flow of influence and relevance reversed. Ravel’s take on jazz sounds only a little like Gershwin and nothing like jazz, really; but it is astonishingly good nonetheless, and a telling expression of how the New World had become the new font.

Jazz, it bears mentioning, was not a folk source mined by composers and gussied up with reharmonization and thematic horseplay into high art, in the way that Bartók mined Hungarian folksong or Copland his Shaker hymns. Jazz was high from go, harmonically radical and evolutionary in a way that challenged serious music on its own turf.

All of which is to say that Bard College’s long-running, fruitful collaboration with the Catskill Jazz Factory (CJF) is the natural culmination of a cultural recognition many decades in the making. Jazz is high. Kneel to it. Bard has long been a beacon of serious music performance and stewardship under the baton of college president and eminent conductor/scholar Leon Botstein. For seven years now, the Catskill Jazz Factory has been an especially stellar and opulent example of a jazz incubator and advocacy organization dedicated to nurturing young talent, sustaining jazz’s great careers and advancing jazz appreciation and understanding in our community and worldwide.

The Jazz Factory defines jazz with refreshing broadness, inclusive of its “outlaw” avant-garde and free variants while still respectful of the canon as defined by Marsalis/Lincoln Center. CJF has also evinced a keen interest in jazz composition and song: always the slipperiest and most problematic dimension of this form known for its improvisational ethic and genius, for at what point does it become chamber music?

On Thursdays in July and August, Bard opens the fabulous Spiegeltent to the curatorially adventurous Catskill Jazz factory. It is a lineup of shows not to missed. The Spiegeltent programming accounts for barely a third of CJF’s own multivenue summerlong festival, but it is, in Bard’s spirit of deeply focused inquiry, a thematically coherent branch of CJF’s program, and that theme is vocal music. The “Singers & Songbooks” series feature close studies of Frank Sinatra by Benny Benack III (July 18), Fred Astaire led by Michela Marino Lerman (July 25), Anita O’Day by Veronica Swift (August 1), Joni Mitchell led by Sam Reider with the Human Hands, featuring vocalist Kéren Tayár (August 8) and Horace Silver (August 15). All CJF Thursday Spiegeltent shows begin at 8 p.m. Ticket prices start at $25.

Again, this stellar program is a mere fraction of CJF’s summer programming. Many shows take place in Chatham’s PS21, others at the Mountain Top Library, the Falcon, All Angels Church and the Hudson-Chatham Winery in Tannersville, the Windham Civic Centre Concert Hall, the Mountain Top Arboretum and the Kaaterskill United Methodist Church.

The Kleinert/James Center for the Arts of the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild presents a solo exhibition of photographs, “Pete Mauney: Nocturnal Transmissions,” with an opening reception and talk by the artist on Saturday, July 6. Curated by Tina Bromberg and Doug Milford, the exhibit comprises three bodies of Mauney’s work – different in subject, yet related in technique and theme. One group explores the erratic and surreal systems of fireflies, whose bioluminescence is translated into pulsing green color fields through Mauney’s camera.

A second body of work in the exhibition explores the less chaotic systems of airplanes, airports and air traffic patterns, with long-exposure photographs of light above and around airports.

A third piece in the show, About a Mile, Either Way, Give or Take, is a portrait of a roughly two-mile stretch of the Hudson River extending north and south from Tivoli, which Mauney walked almost daily for several years. While documenting a period of change in his own life, it is really an open love letter to the river. Calling the photographs in the series “at turns beautiful, neutral and repulsive,” Mauney explains that About a Mile examines the sublime and harsh realities of life and living in a limited, defined ecosystem – and of life and living in more general terms.

stellar example of the currently evolving Golden Age of black filmmaking. But in a way, that’s an encouraging sign – that the narrative and its execution ring true, and that good stories about the lives and concerns of people of color are good stories, period: stories that will resonate for any audience, and make enough money for studios to want to make more of them.

Well, maybe not for audiences who are motivated to head out to the movies only for blockbuster action flicks. The Last Black Man in San Francisco’s closest approximations of a car chase are an exhilarating trip through the city’s famously hilly, winding streets by two men sharing a single skateboard and a wary conversation in a slowly cruising jalopy so battered that its passenger-side door is missing. There are five characters collectively known as the Greek Chorus (they’re usually all talking at once, though

at cross-purposes, never in unison) who seem always just on the verge of a fight, sometimes blatantly trying to provoke one; but physical violence never explodes onscreen. There is one off-camera death that rocks the community, and plenty of psychological violence in the abstracted form of a spiraling housing market that’s driving out working-class people who have made the City by the Bay their home for generations.

It’s tempting to call this film a love letter to San Francisco, but its ugly parts are on

full display as much as its appealing ones, with Adam Newport-Berra’s exquisite cinematography bringing both to vivid life. As protagonist Jimmie Fails tells a young woman he overhears bitching about the city on a bus ride, “You don’t get to hate it unless you love it.� Jimmie has experienced both the best and the worst that the city has to offer, spending early childhood in his g r a n d f a t h e r ’s gorgeous Victorian house in the once-black Fillmore District and ending up in a group home for part of his adolescence after the family fragmented. He has earned the right to complain. He chooses instead to fight in whatever constructive way he can to

LUCIUS OPENS FOR JACKSON BROWNE ON SATURDAY AT BETHEL WOODS

o call Kingston “instrumental” in the national launch of the Brooklyn/Los Angeles band Lucius would be a bit of an embellishment of the kind we should leave to realtors, gentry-baiting developers and their pocket scribes. But one thing is for certain: The second of their two shows at BSP – in February of 2013, months after their O+ debut – happened to coincide with the exact instant of their national liftoff. I am still scarred by the afterburners. They shared the bill that night with Kingston’s literal luminary Shana Falana and the angular, cerebral neo-soul band Ava Luna, also buzzing hard in the Borough at that moment (and also still going strong).

This was mere weeks after Lucius’ legendary Tiny Desk performance, and the clip had just begun going pandemic-level viral.

No band – none, ever – is better suited for that one-mic, fully exposed, show-me performance mode than Lucius, and they soared; they soared. To hear it is to love Lucius, as surely as even to see a black mamba on the beach is to be already dead. By the time they hit BSP, the buzz was palpable, the performers themselves almost taken aback by the people, and the energy, suddenly attending their road shows. It was, as they say, on.

Memory informs me that it wasn’t a full house – two-thirds, maybe less, on a winter weeknight. Crowd size was not the index of this band’s oncoming fate; it was the feeling in the room and the love of the people. Everyone knew they were part of something special about to happen. I’ve endorsed and championed a lot of bands in my life; never before or since have I witnessed the first blossoming of inevitable stardom like that. Hell, I had gone principally to see Ava Luna, who were great – and then Lucius made everyone tremble and cry. BSP booking agent and aesthetic architect Mike Amari leaned over to me during their transcendent set and said, “Next time they play here, it will be in the [1,000+ capacity] back room.” All of us at BSP that night can be forgiven for feeling that we were partly responsible for the rise of Lucius, but it was straight fait accompli.

Across their career, Lucius has struck me as a band at war with itself. Live as on record, they present as yet another Brooklyn hybrid electro outfit, with a visual theatricality and a huge conceptual hook in the costumed twinning of frontwomen/ songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. Paradoxically, they are – when they want to be, when they let themselves be – the best damn organic/acoustic vocal pop band you have ever seen: Holly and Jess and the three fellows (now two) singing their schooled and sophisticated pop gems with an unstylized, torchy passion and massive chops; drummer/ producer Dan Molad playing on his feet and banging the crap out of a big inverted marching-band drum; tricky-bits guitarist Peter Lalish adding the filigree and the grace strokes. It is ultrafine and emotionally raw, musically super-savvy but with a vigilantly guarded core of naïveté and joy. Perfect, in a word.

In their recordings, however, they grope, they search, they glom fads and anticipate moments. Their records – formidable, deep, labored and riddled with great songs – can sometimes vaguely disappoint those have seen them live. A veteran of their shows could be excused for feeling that a band this preternaturally gifted at pure signing and expressing should perhaps act like time and technology ended in 1973. Why? Because they can.

Instead, we get contemporary and fully credible studio records with darting synth arps, vocal filtering galore, de rigueur club beats, glitch disjunctions, guitars mostly as reference, all with some generous bandwidth reserved for classicist ballads and torch songs. Nothing can suppress this band’s unfettered vocal virtuosity, so everything still soars stratospherically, but consider this: After their fine debut full-length Wildewoman and the more fully committed electronica of Good Grief, Lucius’ most iconic and beloved recording remains the song “Go Home,” a mostly acoustic, live-in-studio track from their self-titled debut EP, then ported unaltered to Wildewoman, where it continues to be the chief proselytizer for their greatness and the touchstone of their live sets. It is as irresistible a song and performance as I can name.

In today’s indie, retro affect, Laurel Canyon obsession and gestures of vintage production pop grandeur are in full effect.

From Father John Misty to Weyes Blood and many more, the studio records of Harry Nilsson are the new religion (though of course not everyone is quite the arranger they might think themselves to be). Lucius is not and has never been that. So why are they the one band that I would love to hear make that kind of record? Chops and talent, nothing more: simply because they can.

Speaking of 1973, Lucius keeps some heady company these days. Jess and Holly famously toured the world as a featured “Lucius module” embedded in Roger Waters’ band, and now the full band is out with Jackson Browne, one of the chief beneficiaries of the new Canyon age and rage. It is a natural pairing, and if Holly and Jess don’t sit in on Jackson’s set, something is terribly wrong here. Jackson Browne and Lucius perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, July 6. Pavilion seats range in price from $53 to $144. Lawn space is available for $38.50.

generosity, and Jimmie is welcome to sleep on the floor in Mont’s room as long as he needs to. But that other house – the one that his family had to give up and is now worth four million dollars – keeps calling on Jimmie to come home.

Aside from the obvious sociological concerns about the human costs of gentrification, Last Black Man raises plenty of meaty philosophical questions.

What does “home” really mean, at the core? What good is it to nurture a sense of place in a place that no longer makes it possible for us to feel welcome? How do the stories we tell ourselves keep us going in adversity, and yet sometimes also imprison us in futility? Is artmaking a form of transcendence, mere escape, a basic survival skill? How do we strike a balance between holding on and moving on? What defines a family, a hometown?

And what does it require of us to be a true friend?

This is all rich, heady stuff that more than compensates for the film’s oftenstately pace and tiny budget. The lack of big-name actors, aside from Glover, is counterbalanced by the often-hilarious employment of real San Francisco street characters, such as a homeless man who sings opera, most impressively, from a park bench. It’s treated as just another day in the big town when a guy sits down next to you stark naked at a bus stop and engages in chitchat. The tourists and those who pander to them all seem far less sane than the nudist. If the beautiful house of Jimmie’s dreams is a living, breathing character in this story, so is the city itself.

Once you’ve fully embraced such a place, who would ever want to leave?

Modestly scaled as it is, The Last Black Man in San Francisco is as perfect a gem of an indie movie as I expect to see in 2019. It won several awards at its Sundance premiere and seems likely to scarf up more by year’s end. Find out why for yourself. It’s on the schedule at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck for one more week.

save the old family manse when it falls into disrepair and the current owner into mortgage default. One of the life skills he has learned from his con man of a father (Rob Morgan) is how to be a squatter, so that’s what he does – until matters get more complicated.

Although not a docudrama, Jimmie Fails in his first screen role is essentially playing himself, and Last Black Man is based on incidents from the actor’s own life, which he began relating to the director when the

two became close friends in their early teens. Talbot’s surrogate in the onscreen version of the tale is Montgomery Allen, called Mont, played by Jonathan Majors, a black actor. Mont is not a budding filmmaker, but a painter and playwright who studies the complicated inhabitants of his own neighborhood with an artist’s eye and an ear for vernacular inspiration.

The chemistry between these two friends comes across as sweet and devoted and genuine (and, contrary to expectations for

STAGE Unusual treat Brush up your obscure Shakespeare with HVSF ’s energetic Cymbeline, at Boscobel

A

s sure and as welcome a sign of summer as the appearance of lightning bugs after dark, outdoor Shakespeare performances have returned to our fair valley. And in amongst the perennially recycled favorites can occasionally be found a revival of some overlooked nugget of the Bard of Avon’s prodigious oeuvre. The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) can typically be relied upon to supply one such rarity each year, alongside something much more familiar and a couple of nonShakespeare offerings.

For the less ravenous fan, HVSF is providing Much Ado about Nothing this summer. There’s no cause for complaint in that; arguably the wittiest of Shakespeare’s comedies, Much Ado holds up to countless rewatchings. But if you’re hankering for some opportunity to catch one of his plays that you’ve seldom or never seen performed live before, you’re in for a special treat. Cymbeline has opened at the theater tent at Boscobel and will run in repertory through the end of July.

If there’s a Bardian box to be checked, Cymbeline checks it off. A story as convoluted as this is a challenge to tell lucidly and persuasively. And that’s precisely what makes HVSC’s 2019 production of Cymbeline a must-see: The company, under the direction of Davis McCallum, knocks it out of the park.

of Cymbeline, it’s now regarded as an example of Shakespeare’s “late romances” (1610) along with The Tempest and The Winter’s Tale. Comic and tragic elements freely commingle in its narrative. So does just about any other plot idea ever tossed out in a writers’ room brainstorming session, truth be told. There are good reasons why scholars place Cymbeline on their list of usual suspects for works that might have involved a collaborator –

not to mention good reasons why it’s not produced very often.

To put it plainly, Cymbeline is a hot mess, pasted together from many sources of inspiration. It’s got plenty of stock Shakespeare characters: a feisty noblewoman disguised as a pageboy, a deluded king, a popinjay suitor, a wrongfully exiled courtier, an ambitious wicked stepmother, jealous rivals, a clever servant who proves most faithful when he disobeys, a righteous woman who loves a cad unworthy of her and not one but two lost heirs to a throne. Familiar plot devices include mistaken identities; international diplomacy that goes awry; a failed seduction scheme morphing into an attempt to sow unwarranted suspicion (here, using a bracelet instead of a handkerchief ); nobility of birth inevitably showing itself in uncivilized places; a deathbed confession inspiring royal remorse. There’s a fellow far more scurrilous than Falstaff hiding in a trunk, and even a compelling narrative reason for a decapitated corpse to be dragged around the stage for a while. Did I mention that there are ghosts? And a visitation from Jupiter (a Nance Williamson cameo)?

If there’s a Bardian box to be checked, Cymbeline checks it off.

A story as convoluted as this is a challenge to tell lucidly and persuasively.

And that’s precisely what makes HVSC’s

2019 production of Cymbeline a mustsee: The company, under the direction of Davis McCallum, knocks it out of the park. While not every character’s choices seem wise or motivations plausible, the performances are so on-point that clinging to one’s skepticism feels unjustified. While they don’t have Shakespeare’s loftiest lines to work with, the actors make them sing.

Following the twists and turns of the story is not difficult, even if we do sometimes find ourselves musing that these are silly people doing silly things. By the finale, in which some unspeakable acts are forgiven, the tenor of the emotions expressed rises to a level of profundity fully worthy of the author’s gifts.

Speaking of singing, the dancing and musical numbers in this production – incorporating both Shakespeare’s own beloved lament “Fear No More the Heat o’ the Sun” and a haunting Appalachian folksong – are first-rate. So is the acting: no surprise with HVSF, but even the students from the Conservatory Company are impressive in their small roles, especially José Gamo and Timiki Salinas as the crypto-princes. Alexandra Templer brings plenty of winsome tomboy energy to elevate the role of the wronged Imogen, who is not normally seen as the most forceful or clever of Shakespeare’s cross-dressing princesses. Sean McNall, reliably solid in any part he’s called upon

STAGE

THE SHAGGS: PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD OPENS JULY 11 AT BRIDGE STREET THEATRE

W

hen the question is raised, “What was the worst song ever recorded?” among the most popular answers is an offkey lament for a lost cat titled “My Pal Foot Foot.” It appeared on the album Philosophy of the World, released in 1969 by the Shaggs. It’s said that only 1,000 copies of the LP were pressed, and that the band’s manager absconded with 900 of them.

He wasn’t the only one who made their lives miserable. The Shaggs were three teenaged sisters from a little town in New Hampshire, Dot, Betty and Helen Wiggin.

None of them was musically trained or naturally talented or wanted to be a rock star.

But their overbearing father Austin Wiggin believed musical success to be their destiny, based on a palm reading. So he made the girls drop out of school, bought them instruments from a pawnshop, forced them to practice and got them a regular gig at the local town hall.

They never got any better than they started out. Dot and Betty’s guitars were never in tune, and Helen, the drummer, was noted for keeping time with something only she could hear – certainly not what her sisters were playing. The lyrics they wrote sounded depressed, like girls who were just waiting for their father to die so they could stop obeying him. And that’s just what they did, breaking up in 1975 when Austin passed on.

But in the interim, a weird thing happened: Frank Zappa somehow got hold of a copy of their record and played excerpts from it on the Dr. Demento radio show, waggishly proclaiming the Shaggs “better than the Beatles.” The band then had a brief flush of bemused popular success; their LP was rereleased in 1980, panned by critics even as it attained cult status. Some in the punk world proclaimed the Shaggs progenitors of Outsider rock; Kurt Cobain became a big fan. The Wiggin sisters seemed embarrassed about the whole phenomenon.

Their strange story inspired Joy Gregory and Gunnar Madsen to write an “unconventional musical” called The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World, which premiered in Los Angeles in 2003. A New York Theatre Workshop/Playwrights Horizons co-production ran Off-Broadway in 2011 and garnered a slew of awards. A movie version has long been rumored to be in development. Now, for the first time since the 2011 run, the Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill is readying a revival, featuring one of the show’s original stars, Steven Patterson, as Austin Wiggin. “It’s probably the greatest role I’ve ever had in my career in musical theater – sort of like having to play Mama Rose in Gypsy and King Lear on the same night – and I can’t wait to revisit it with this cast,” says Patterson. In the amateur spirit of the origin story, students from the Catskill Central School District, Alexa Powell, Amara Wilson and Meeghan Darling, will portray Dot, Betty and Helen Wiggin. Also in the cast are Molly Parker Myers, Julian Broughton, Magnus Bush and Edward Donahue. John Sowle directs.

The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World will be performed Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. from July 11 to 21. The preview on July 11 and the July 14 matinée will feature “pay what you will” pricing. For other performances, tickets cost $22 in advance, $25 at the door if still available, $10 for students aged 21 and under. To order, call (800) 838-3006 or visit https://shaggs.brownpapertickets.com. Visit https://bridgest.org for more info. The Bridge Street Theatre is located at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill.

to play in this company over the years, has juicy fun with Iachimo, a character who combines the dastardly qualities of Othello’s Iago and Measure for Measure’s Angelo.

But the performance that truly stands out in this Cymbeline is a dual role by a newcomer to HVSF: Stephen Michael Spencer is an unstoppable force of nature as he turns on a dime between portraying Posthumus, Imogen’s outcast husband, and Cloten, the queen’s preening son who wants to marry the princess and become Cymbeline’s heir. Costume changes between the roles are minimal; the transformation via voice and body language is instant and complete. Spencer moves with the controlled athleticism of a ballet star; he delivers lines as if born to the stage and – especially as the despicable early-17th-century incel Cloten – he’s funny as all hell. HVSF’s resident crown prince

of comedy, Jason O’Connell, had better be looking over his shoulder right now.

If you ever find yourself wishing that your familiarity with the Bard’s works were broader, you couldn’t pick a better introduction to the more obscure recesses of his canon than this production of Cymbeline. It’s immensely fun and

Phoenicia Fringe Festival runs July 5 through 14 Fringe festivals, celebrating art whose nature falls far outside the mainstream, typically happen in large cities. The Village of Phoenicia would not seem a likely candidate, though it arguably lies at the outermost exurban fringe of the New York metropolitan area. Still, the Shandaken Theatrical Society has taken on the challenge of hosting its own such festival at the Phoenicia Playhouse for two weekends, July 5 through 7 and 12 through 14.

Each of the six shows, beginning at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays, features performances from two spoken-word artists, many of them award-winning veterans of story slams and festivals throughout the world. In fact, Richard Templeton’s immersive The Piece, coming to Phoenicia on Saturday, July 13, was named Best Experience at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Richard Cardillo, whose Invisibility will be performed on Sunday, July 14, is a sixtime story slam champion on The Moth.

Here’s the full Phoenicia Fringe Festival 2019 schedule: Friday, July 5, Dean Temple’s Voice of Authority and Nina Williams’ Om Shaadi Om; Saturday, July 6, Amanda Nicastro’s I’m Just Kidneying and Jamie Brickhouse’s I Favor My Daddy; Sunday, July 7, Bob Brader’s Smoker and Harmon Leon’s American Horror Story; Friday, July 12, Doug Motel’s Mind Salad and David Lawson’s Nazis and Me; Saturday, July

If you attend both the Friday and Saturday evening performances on one weekend, you can get into the Sunday afternoon show for only $10. To order, call (845) 6882279 or visit https://phoeniciaplayhouse. com/phoenicia-fringe. The Phoenicia Playhouse is located at 10 Church Street in Phoenicia.

Powerhouse at Vassar stages The Bandaged Place, Annie Salem Although an enormous part of Powerhouse Theater’s mandate is the incubation of new plays and the workshopping of productions, its formidable Mainstage productions anchor the season and represent the fruition of the complex process that Powerhouse is so serious about nurturing. The first of its 2019 Mainstage productions, The Bandaged Place, opened on June 27 and runs until July 7.

Written by former New York Stage and Film Founders’ Award recipient Harrison David Rivers, The Bandaged Place tells the story of an injured dancer named Jonah. A brutal and lyrical portrait of the things we hang onto and the price of moving forward, this relentless, award-winning play tells of one man’s attempt to free himself from the abuses of his past.

The Bandaged Place is directed by David Mendizábal and features a cast of Caroline Clay, Sam Encarnacion, Phillip JohnsonRichardson, Milan Marsh and Michael Hsu Rosen. Remaining performances take place on the weekend of July 5 through 7, with two performances on both Saturday (2 and 8 p.m.) and Sunday (2 and 7 p.m.) Tickets cost $45.

Coinciding with The Bandaged Place, but in the Martel Theater, is the musical workshop production of Annie Salem: An American Tale, a musical adaption of Mac Wellman’s otherworldly coming-of-age novel, with book by Rachel Chavkin and music by Heather Christian. Directed by Rachel Chavkin, this workshop production features performances by David Abeles, Tattiana Aqeel, Stephen Bogardus, Clifton Duncan, Danaya Esperanza, Brian Flores, Ari Groover, Christopher Sears, Margo Siebert and Ching Valdes-Aran. Performances take place on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets cost $30.

HISTORY TALK ON NEW BOOK ABOUT ROSENDALE AT ELTING LIBRARY ON TUESDAY

I

f you’re even remotely interested in local history or architecture, you’ve noticed the books by Arcadia Publishing and its subsidiary, the History Press, that are widely sold in gift shops. They’re authored by local experts, and typically, each one focuses on a particular community, although many are much more specialized: about a particular region’s beer, ghost sightings, amusement parks, windmills, notorious crimes and so on. There are nearly 1,200 of them about places of interest in New York alone. New titles are coming out all the time; in May we spotlighted a presentation based on a new volume about Las Villas of Plattekill. Now another one with a mid-Hudson focus has been released, and its author will be doing a history talk about it on Tuesday evening, July 9.

The new book, simply titled Rosendale, was published under Arcadia’s Postcard History Series imprint, which derive most of their images from vintage postcards. You might already know snippets of Rosendale history, particularly with reference to the cement industry that dominated the area’s economy for so many decades, or to the D & H Canal that transported local cement and coal from Pennsylvania to the Hudson River. You might be aware that there was a ski jump right above Main Street, or that some of abandoned mines were subsequently used as atomic bomb shelters for corporate records or to grow mushrooms for Campbell’s Soups. This new publication pulls together the many strands of Rosendale’s wild and wooly past together into a single volume, with great period illustrations.

Author Gilberto Villahermosa is a retired US Army officer and Rosendale resident whose books and dozens of articles on military history and national security topics have been translated into Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Polish and Finnish.

You’ll get your chance to probe him about what else the feds might have been storing in the New York Underground Facilities during the Cold War when he gives a free talk and book-signing beginning at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 9 in the Steinberg Room at the Elting Memorial Library. It’s located at 93 Main Street in New Paltz. Copies of Rosendale will be available for sale at the event, priced at $21.99. For more information about the event, call the library at (845) 255-5030.

Noël Coward’s Blithe Spirit opens July 11 at Byrdcliffe Theater In 1941, dismayed by the destruction of his London flat and office in the Blitz, the master playwright and celebrated wit Noël Coward took off to the Welsh seaside resort of Portmeirion for a couple of weeks with his friend and frequent collaborator, the actress Joyce Carey. Coward had been mulling various scenarios for a play about ghosts for a while, but nothing had jelled.

Sitting on the beach together, he bounced ideas off Carey until he came up with a plot and characters that both liked. The next morning he sat down at his typewriter, and

within less than a week, one of Coward’s greatest plays was written.

Somehow, in Blithe Spirit, he managed to write flippantly and sardonically about death without further bumming out his countrymen who were already reeling from the losses, bombardments and privations of World War II. Its West End run, opening in July of that year, seemed just the tonic that the beleaguered English needed: It ran for 1,997 performances, setting a record at the time for non-musicals. The play’s Broadway run, commencing in November, was also a tremendous success.

The story concerns Charles, a novelist who has remarried a woman named Ruth after being widowed. Researching his next book, which will deal with spiritualism, he invites

a medium, Madame Arcati, to his home to conduct a séance. She accidentally conjures up the snarky ghost of his dead wife Elvira, who quickly decides to drive Ruth out of the house. Charles is the only one who can see and hear her. Comedic chaos ensues as he tries to undo the damage and only makes things worse.

Blithe Spirit has aged well, and still gets revived with some regularity. It comes our way later this month, opening on July 11 at Byrdcliffe, courtesy of the Voice Theatre Ensemble, and running through the 28th.

Shauna Kanter directs Joris Stuyck as Charles, Molly O’Brien as Ruth, Megan Bones as Elvira, Leigh Strimbeck as Madame Arcati, Caitlin Connelly as Edith, John Remington as Dr. Bradman and

She’s a sweet exotic tiger. QUEENIE would like to be an only pet. BABY; 4-year old tiger striped cat boy. SULLY; female tuxedo w/a heart on her nose! This sweet mama cat had 6 tuxedo babies- now Sully & her kittens are ready to be adopted into loving homes. DAISY; 4-year old tiger cat girl whose caregiver had to go to an assisted living facility. So, sweet Daisy has to deal w/ losing the person who loved her most & finds herself in strange territory; an animal shelter. It’s understandable that Daisy is a bit shy; for now. TURTLE; 6-year old tiger cat boy & one of the sweetest and most loving cats you’ll meet! 2 very shy 1-year old Tortie Cats need a quiet home where they can be given the time they need to trust again. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby girl who’d make a perfect addition to your loving family. LILY; 8-year old cat girl came in naked. She lost most of her fur due to a flea allergy. Hair has mostly grown back. Very sweet. Loves to cuddle. No other pets, please. LEXI; beautiful tiger cat girl w/a heart of gold! Lexi was adopted, but was bullied by the resident cat, & now finds herself back at the shelter. If you can give this 3-year old sweetheart the quiet, loving home she needs, she’ll thank you every day!

DORIAN; shy, spayed, 2-3 year old female cat who just needs a quiet house to decompress & be loved. Dorian was a lonesome stray. We have MANY ADORABLE KITTENS- (Aren’t they all adorable?) as well as CATS & DOGS of different ages who’ll add tremendous joy to your life. All they ask is to be cared for properly & to be loved. In return, they will give you a lifetime of unconditional love. PENELOPE; sweet 8-month old Terrier mix. She weighs 15 pounds.

LACY; 7-year old female Pit mix. Very sweet & low energy. She’s a doll! SABRINA; 4-year old Pit mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Please- no cats. Dogs- males only & need a “meet & greet�. Please visit The Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter, 1765 Route 212 (behind the transfer station) to meet these beautiful beings or call 845679-0339 to answer any questions you may have.
