Performance: Woodstock Fringe
presents, The Great Nebula in Orion
a chamber musical written by Lanford
Wilson with music by Kenneth Fuchs
featuring Watson Heintz and Lynelle
Johnson with Music Direction by Michael
Conley and Stage Direction by
Wallace Norman
Lanford Wilson, one of America’s
great playwrights and winner of the Pulitzer
Prize (Tally’s Folly) calls this chamber
musical play with a score by Kenneth Fuchs
“magic – the weaving of music, evoking
stars, dreams, lost love, great hopes. A
glorious piece.” This is the story of two
women friends who, separated by years and
events, meet up by chance, and rediscover
themselves and their dreams. In a Central
Park West apartment overlooking the
Planetarium, they reveal secrets, revisit
wounds, share old laughs and find new ones
while rekindling an important bond. Wilson,
often compared to the likes of Tennessee
Williams and William Inge, co-founded Circle
Repertory Company with Marshall Mason. Plays
by Wilson include: Hot L Baltimore, The
Mound Builders, Angels Fall, Talley's Folly,
and Burn This. Composer Kenneth Fuchs
has received numerous awards and honors for
his music, including the Charles E. Ives
Scholarship from the American Academy and
Institute of Arts and Letters, grants from
Meet The Composer, the ASCAP Foundation, the
American Bandmasters Association. The
University of Miami School of Music named
him Distinguished Alumnus for the Year 2000.
Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild is hosting this
event.

Ping
Pong Slam at the Woodstock School
of Art, includes prizes and
refreshments. Call
679-2388 to reserve a space at
the table. Sportsmen and observers
welcome.
It is a little
known
fact that Ping Pong has a long tradition
in
Woodstock, dating back to the Sea
Horse Tavern on Rock City Road where its
ping pong table attracted artists and
locals for conviviality and friendly
competition. The game at the Woodstock
School of Art is a continuation of those
matches, which have been played with few
interruptions since the 1940’s. This
particular game started in 1982, moved
to several locations, and is now the
official sport of the Woodstock School
of Art.

Book Signing
and Reading by Daniel Radosh
from his
book,
Rapture Ready: Adventures in the
Parallel Universe of Christian Pop
Culture
$Free
“What
happens when a secular liberal enters
the conservative Christian subculture?
Yes, he’s grossed out at times, appalled
at least once, amused sometimes and
cussin’ mad at other times — and maybe
even a little scared on occasion. But in
the end, he offers evaluations and
insights that might be considered
downright prophetic and compassionate
too. No evangelical insider could have
done as good a job as Daniel Radosh.
He’s a witty, energetic, and insightful
writer who grabs your attention and
interest on page one and won’t let go
until he’s escorted you to a powerful
conclusion in the final paragraphs.”
—Brian
McLaren, author of A New Kind of
Christian and Everything Must Change.

Poetry Reading & Open Mic: Woodstock
Poetry Society features: Gretchen Primack
and Allen C. Fischer; Host:
Phillip Levine,
www.woodstockpoetry.com
$Free
Gretchen
Primack - Gretchen Primack’s publication
credits include The Paris Review, Prairie
Schooner, FIELD, New Orleans Review, Rhino,
Best New Poets 2006, and others. Her
chapbook The Slow Creaking of Planets is
freshly minted from Finishing Line Press.
She teaches at Bard College and at two
maximum-security prisons through the Bard
Prison Initiative. More information and
poems can be found at
www.gretchenprimack.com.
Allen C.
Fischer - Allen Fischer is not reluctant
to draw on his business background in his
poetry. Although he lives for the most part
in Saugerties, NY, he splits his time
between city (Brooklyn, NY) and country
(Saugerties, NY) with one month a year near
Hamburg, Germany, his wife's home town. His
writing is also somewhat peripatetic as
feelings and concerns are dealt with through
the historic, social and scenic lenses of
these various locations. Retired as director
of marketing for a nationwide corporation,
Fischer's writing is as likely to mine the
images and conflicts of the world of
business as it is to describe the seasonal
extremes of upstate New York. From the
Philadelphia area, a graduate of Haverford
College, he attended Johns Hopkins School of
Advanced International Studies both in
Washington DC and Bologna Italy. Later, he
served in the US Army, also in Italy, thus
setting in motion a life of changing
locations.
Fischer came to poetry relatively late,
beginning to write "whenever possible" in
his forties. For about 12 years, he worked
closely with poet William Matthews. Allen
Fischer has published widely in journals
such as The Greensboro Review, Indiana
Review, The Laurel Review, Poetry, Poetry
Northwest, Prairie Schooner, Rattapallax and
River Styx. In 1997, his poems were selected
for inclusion in the Anthology of Magazine
Verse & Yearbook of American Poetry and
Bright Hill Press' Out of the Catskills and
Just Beyond, and in 2007, Riverine: An
Anthology of Hudson Valley Writers. |
