Audiences Get a Different Point of View from Trans Views,Norton Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival 2018 Nestled in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains in the town of Becket, Mass, is Jacob’s Pillow, a sprawling 220-acre site that hosts the oldest and one of the most prestigious dance festivals in the US. Every summer, thousands of people gather to watch prominent dancers, choreographers and rising talent display their talents on several stages. Summer 2018 is no exception. If you haven’t ventured to Jacob’s Pillow, this is the summer to do so. The line-up of talent is nothing short of amazing. Jacobs Pillow is a family-friendly venue offering so many diverse programs that even the youngest family member will enjoy the experience. “2018 Season highlights include US company debuts, world premieres, international artists, newly commissioned works and the formal presentation of work developed through the organization’s growing residency program at the Pillow Lab,” states Nicole Tomasofsky, Pillow’s public relations coordinator. ” International artists will travel to Becket, Massachusetts, from Denmark, Israel, Belgium, Australia, France, Spain, and Scotland. Notably, representation from across the United States includes New York City, Minneapolis, Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Chicago among others.” June 20-24 The Season begins with the opportunity to see Royal Danish Ballet at The Ted Shawn Theatre. Principals and soloists return to the Pillow with excerpts from classical ballet’s enduring masters, including Marius Petipa, Jules Perrot and August Bournonville.

Paramodernities By Netta Yerushalmy. This world premiere deconstructs modern choreographers including Alvin Ailey, George Balanchine and Bob Fosse.

Jacob’s Pillow, 358 George Carter Rd, Becket, Mass. A Furtive Movement: The Use of Farce Providence has the honor of hosting RISCA Play and Screenwriting Merit Award winner Vatic Tayari Kuumba as a resident — possibly a permanent one, according to Kuumba, who is dedicated to our little state. Kuumba has a prolific writing record — from school newspapers to award-winning rap competitions that send him all over the US. He also is the performance coordinator for AS220 Youth, and is working on a large body of work, in literary installations, for the stage. Furtive Movement: The Use of Farce, is the first in a series of what could be 10 productions from that large body that will portray the 21st century from 2000 until just before 2999. About this first movement, Kuumba explains, “A Furtive Movement: The Use of Farce is set in an alternate future that parallels our present, where over one thousand people are killed by the police every year, told from the perspective of one of the victims of the state, whose death inspired protest, riots and the formation of a black billionaire super PAC that funnels dark money.” Furtive Movement: The Use of Farce will run June 7 and 8 at 7pm as part of PVD Fest, and Jun 10 at 4pm and 7pm at the Pell Chafee Performance Center, 87 Empire St, PVD. FUTUREWORLDS 4: The Goddess, the Cat and the Trap House is a multidimensional performance that begins to tell the intertwining stories of three creatures developed by the young artists at AS220 Youth. As the story goes, each creature of god has played an integral role in destroying what human beings have created: systems of oppression. The evening takes place on June 9 from 5 – 10pm with the main show starting at 8:30pm. The main character of the CAT was created with guidance and support from BIG NAZO LAB. Audiences Get a Different Point of View from Trans Views What if you looked into the mirror, and did not see yourself there? This question is being posed by the URI Feinstein Providence Campus Arts and Culture Program (in conjunction with the Rhode Island State Council of Churches) with an original work by Frank V. Toti Jr. titled Trans View. It is an oral history project, with history that hits home as it is compiled from interviews by Rhode Islanders in the trans community. The piece has been on tour, and will close at URI’s Providence campus. I was excited to see this show, as seeing original work is my favorite way to spend a night at the theater. Trans Views did not disappoint; it is the type of theater I love to see — stripped down and all about the words. And, of course, the stellar acting doesn’t hurt. Six interviewees comprise the ensemble, with Steven Pennell, the man behind the show’s conception, guiding them as the interviewer. This is a perfect cast. Ted D’Artri’s Cameron stopped the show quite a few times with some truly raw moments that he has to work through. Sandra Lee’s Kara was captivating, Lilly Cataldi’s Josie had me on the edge of my seat, Carol Schlink’s Tiffani was stellar and Chris Laureano’s Eli melted my heart. Cody Suzuki opens the piece with some beautifully written spoken word, and at the helm is Steven Pennell who also serves as the navigator for the audience, and he does so in such a calming and loving way that I can’t imagine anyone walking out unchanged. (Yes, even that one person we all know that is so closed-minded that they pine away for the days when women lived in the kitchen, and closets were closed.) The pieces are powerful, moving and at times funny, with lines about The Dark Lady and “Rhode Island … I mean Midland Mall,” the audience is reminded that this is in our backyard, something that makes this night of theater all the more important.

  • S Season Finishes Strong with the Mystery of Edwin Drood,Trinity&
    Here We Go Again: TBTS Delivers Another Hit When I was in my teens and still amassing a music collection, I was eager to catch up on the classic rock and pop acts that had made their mark just prior to my getting seriously into music. To that end, I was gobbling up greatest hits collections by powerhouse acts from the ’60s and ‘70s. While ABBA didn’t necessarily hit my radar until a little later (even though “Knowing Me Knowing You” was a major hit the year I started listening to radio in earnest), I cornered the market in releases by most of the usual suspects, including one of the more theatrical acts of the ’70s, Styx. In my mind, while listening to their bloated, yet enjoyable mini-epics, I would form a musical production in my head, using all of these songs as source material. In the end, this imaginary production was haphazard in plot, a bit forced, but had great music and, in my mind, amazing production numbers. Flash forward to 1999, and someone did exactly that, except they used ABBA Gold (and an obscure 1968 Gina Lollobrigida film) as the basis for what came to be known as one of the hottest jukebox musicals ever conceived, Mamma Mia! I’m sure there are far more ABBA fans than Styx fans in this world (and rightfully so), especially in the world of musical theater, and to call Mamma Mia! a punchline around which a long joke was written cannot possibly detract from the love people have for ABBA in general, and this play in particular.

  • The Last Days of Rockin Rob's,An Examination of the Inside of His
    The Last Days of Rockin Rob’s Writer/director Nick Albanese’s latest show, The Last Days of Rockin Rob’s, opens June 15 at Artist’s Exchange. In his hit autobiographical one man show, The Last Sicilian, Albanese explored his Italian upbringing in Providence. Now he is exploring how the changing musical landscape is affecting small businesses in The Last Days of Rockin Rob’s. The cast includes Kathleen Russell (13 Rue de l’amour), Stephen Hug, John Cillino, David Adams Murphy and Ericka Atwell (Everybody Needs Therapy Sometimes). The comedy drama about a failing record shop was inspired by real-life, Albanese explained. “I read an article about a record shop that’s closing in (New York’s) Greenwich Village,” Albanese said. “This (store) was there for years and years. No one’s buying (vinyl) albums anymore.” When writing the play, Albanese added some twists of his own to the story and believes it reflects the ups and downs of life. Sales of record albums have actually increased over the last few years. They are now outselling digital downloads, which Albanese finds interesting. “It’s kind of funny how everything comes around again,” Albanese said. The Last Days of Rockin Rob’s opens June 15 and runs through June 23. Artist’s Exchange. 50 Rolfe Square, Cranston. Tickets available at tickets.vendini.com. An Examination of The Inside of His Severed Head Writer/Director Lenny Schwartz and composer Duncan Pflaster have teamed up for the musical, The Inside of His Severed Head, debuting May 10 at the RISE Playhouse in Woonsocket.
