April Theatre Highlights
Sa/Su 4/10 & 11- Performing Arts of Woodstock presents TWO GUYS & A STAR and HARRY BELAFONTE: HEAR THE MUSIC! at Woodstock Town Hall, Woodstock—Performing Arts of Woodstock has a nice double bill early this month (right when this magazine comes out, so better hurry!). Local funny folks—and talented actors, musicians, and luthiers—Jerry Mitnick, Joe Veillette (the “Two Guys”), and Kimberly Kay (the “Star”) have co-written this original musical comedy fantasy which, if previous offerings by this trio are any indication, should be good for laughs and tunes.

Hear the Music
Sa 4/17- Burning Bayreuth presents THE HUNGER ART and THE GONZALES CANTATA (opera) at the Richard B. Fisher Center, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson—Burning Bayreuth is a new music series founded by Noah S. Weber, with the aim of producing “socially relevant works in an approachable format that invites audience response.” Sounds like fun. For the debut performance, two contemporary operas are presented:

Th/Su 4/22 & 25- THE HABIT OF ART, by Alan Bennett, live simulcast from the NATIONAL THEATRE OF LONDON, at Time and Space Limited, Hudson—How many times have you heard it? That if you love the THEA-TAH, well the only truly great place to properly enjoy the THEA-TAH is, of course, London, dahling. Really? Me neither, but I’m sure I’ve heard it somewhere. Anyway, if you’re wondering what the fuss is about and can’t swing the trans-Atlantic airfare, this would be a great weekend to pop up to Time and Space Limited in Hudson and enjoy the National Theatre of London, broadcast via satellite in high-definition, performing Alan Bennett’s new play, The Habit of Art. Presently a hot ticket in London, the play imagines a dialogue between famous poet W.H. Auden (1907-1973) and composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), both of whom resided in Brooklyn Heights at the same time in the ‘40s, discussing the power of the creative spirit. Time and Space Limited, 434 Columbia St., Hudson, www.timeandspace.org, 518.822.8100. Th 4/22 (live) 7 PM, Su 4/25 (encore) 1 PM
Fr 5/7- Harold Lloyd’s SPEEDY (silent film), with live accompaniment by ALLOY ORCHESTRA, at Paramount Center for the Arts, Peekskill—If you have never seen a Harold Lloyd silent film, I feel sorry for you.
