We are Phoenix Festival which is a performing arts festival in Nyack. This will be our 4th Annual Event which will feature 14 performances in various Village venues (Nyack Center, Hudson House, The Library, Memorial Park, etc) from Oct 2-16. I am writing to you about one of the performances where we would ask for your help.We have a "Public Works" performance of Arthur Miller's drama The Crucible. The reason this is considered public works is that the cast will be a combination of professional actors and residents of Nyack and Rockland, who will play some of the non-featured roles and help out with the village crowd scenes. Phoenix Festival's public works productions intentionally blurs the line between professional artists and community members creating theater that is not only for the people, but by and of the people as well, exemplifying the Festival's commitment to community as a key tenet of its mission.We are particularly interested in families who would like to participate, so mom & dad and younger siblings and grandma and grandpa are all very welcome. It will be a blast and promises to be an unforgettable community event. This is the right time and this is the right play.Here is the information on schedules and how to take part in this unique community event. mailchi.mp/phoenixtheatreensemble/need-some-laughs-this-is-the-play-for-you-9313108?fbclid=IwY2xjawKLbPtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFFdG8xbHFQeTVBUWU0eUN1AR6G3iJ3SR7IY3UeXnWa9rP-Kuhqal1-wQEoWNS19s5JJL_IHp3zJm2OihbRnA_aem_4FOmhH58D9Ngn-kOlB5INQ https://mailchi.mp/phoenixtheatreensemble/need-some-laughs-this-is-the-play-for-you-9313108?fbclid=IwY2xjawKLbPtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFFdG8xbHFQeTVBUWU0eUN1AR6G3iJ3SR7IY3UeXnWa9rP-Kuhqal1-wQEoWNS19s5JJL_IHp3zJm2OihbRnA_aem_4FOmhH58D9Ngn-kOlB5INQThank you and best regards,Phoenix Festival

May 26 for Memorial Day WeekendFree the the PublicOn view in the Merson Gallery through May 31, 2025An exhibition of New York fiber artists exploring unexpected connections between fiber materials / processes and other contemporary fine art disciplines. Incorporating resurgent traditional skills (such as tapestry, weaving, and basketry), the Contemporary Fiber Art Movement reflects methods and materials that are adapted and reimagined for today's world.Material & Method highlights the innovative work of New York-based fiber artists who are transforming the landscape of contemporary fiber art. The exhibit explores the convergence of traditional fiber methods, with modern materials and sensibilities. Exhibiting artists employ techniques such as weaving, basketry, tapestry, and quilting. Mixing both conventional mediums such as cloth, cotton, yarn, and silk with uncommon fiber art materials like monofilament, plastic screening, food, recycled paper, and found objects, Material & Method explores individualistic technique and process.The show invites viewers to reflect on both the method of creation in contemporary fiber arts and the possibilities in materials that are often considered unorthodox for such a style.Featured Artists:Briana BabaniKris CampbellJaynie CrimminsEllie MurphySui ParkMary Tooley ParkerFlora WildsAbout Rockland Center for the Arts:The mission of Rockland Center for the Arts is to inspire, educate and enrich the community through creating, teaching and presenting the arts, and to provide opportunities for all people to experience and participate in the cultural life of our region.

Music Sessions @ RoCA: Kate TaylorSaturday, June 7 at 7:30pmTickets: $25 Adults / $20 Students and SeniorsKate Taylor, of the renowned Martha's Vineyard via North Carolina musical clan that includes brothers James, Livingston, Alex and Hugh, arrived at Red House Records in 2021 with a new studio album entitled: WHY WAIT! which reunites her with many of the key players, Russ Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar, and Leland Skar, who backed her on her 1971 debut, SISTER KATE. Produced by music veteran Peter Asher, who produced SISTER KATE, WHY WAIT! marks with its release the 50th anniversary of their original collaboration. WHY WAIT! was released on Red House Records in the late summer of 2021.As on SISTER KATE, she covers some of her favorite songwriters and songs, including a version of her brother James' "I Will Follow," The Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine" and Taj Mahal's "He Caught the Katy,". Kate, who loves singing R&B, contributes two self-penned songs: the upbeat title track, "Why Wait!" and the evocative "I Got a Message."She also does a version of Little Feat's "Long Distance Love" and the 1963 girl group hit by The Exciters, "Tell Him." She does versions of Tommy James's "Crystal Blue Persuasion" and Nancy Wilson's "How Glad I Am".The spark for this album was ignited at Kate's birthday party when her agent (who also manages Asher), brought up the fact that the key players who appeared on Sister Kate are still around and very active (most recently as members of The Immediate Family). Asher loved the idea of recording with Kate again on their 50th anniversary, and Kate was instantly on board, writing the title track. Peter and Kate assembled a group of songs complemented by her bluesy voice.James Taylor told Rolling Stone: "For Kate to be doing this with Peter, and that both of them have this life experience that brings them back together, it's really a moving thing. I think it's so great that Kate will have this next iteration, you know, this next chance for people to hear her and pick up on her."About Rockland Center for the Arts:The mission of Rockland Center for the Arts is to inspire, educate and enrich the community through creating, teaching and presenting the arts, and to provide opportunities for all people to experience and participate in the cultural life of our region. RoCA is committed to the process of experiencing, responding to, creating, and presenting art.
