GARRETT SORENSON
American tenor Garrett Sorenson has been praised as a young artist of unique promise, drawing critical interest for a rich lyric voice of beauty and power. Of his recent portrayal of Lensky in Eugene Onegin, Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe wrote, “The poet Lensky(’s)…aria is one of Tchaikovsky's greatest inspirations, and the young American tenor Garrett Sorenson delivered it with beautiful, warm tone and heartfelt emotion…his lyric tenor voice is the real deal, and his musical and dramatic instincts are strong and true.”

Mr. Sorenson has appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Houston Grand Opera, among other companies, and has performed in concert with such orchestras as the San Francisco Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, and New York Philharmonic. He made his Boston Symphony Orchestra debut in 2009 in concert performances of Verdi's Simon Boccanegra under James Levine. He lives in Kentucky with his wife, Elizabeth Batton, and their sons.

The Dorset Theatre Festival

On July 2, 1929, The Dorset Playhouse officially opened. In typical Vermont style, the building of this lovely theatre was a true community effort and included the use of three local barns in its construction! Since the 1930's, The Playhouse has served as a home to many including members of Fred and Pat Carmichael's beloved Caravan Theatre, the wonderful year round community theatre The Dorset Players, and since the 1970's the Dorset Theatre Festival [DTF] founded by Jill Charles and John Nassivera.

Under the passionate and energetic artistic leadership of Jill and John, DTF flourished for many decades and served as a launching ground for new playwrights, a training ground for new talent, and home for a truly beloved group of theatre professionals who helped make DTF the fixture it has become for these past 35 years. There are many who stand out in this history, but we would be remiss if we did not mention in particular the late John Morrison whose contribution was invaluable.

Since 2001, and a $3 million restoration to the building, DTF has continued to thrive and prosper. John Nassivera took over the reigns after the death of the irreplaceable Jill Charles, and in 2007 he passed the baton to acclaimed Keen Company director Carl Forsman who continued the stellar tradition of producing top quality professional theatre in Southern Vermont for three seasons.

Summer 2010 the Dorset Theatre Festival marks its 35th year anniversary with an exciting new Artistic Director, Dina Janis. For Information On This Season's Offerings:

....Hudson, NY has a long history of nurturing artists, beginning with Frederick Church and the Hudson River School of painters. Today, a century later, Hudson continues to attract artists with its beautiful landscapes, dramatic skies, and enchanting pink light.

Carrie Haddad has been representing artists of the Hudson Valley region, in the charming town of Hudson for the past 12 years.

"There is something about the beauty of the local landscapes that affects the work of the artists moving to this region," says Ms. Haddad. "It seems to impart a kind of spirituality that strengthens their work and leaves it more optimistic."

Hailed as the premier gallery of the Hudson Valley, the Carrie Haddad Gallery presents eight large exhibits a year and includes all types of painting, both large and small sculpture, works on paper and a variety of techniques in photography.

Carrie Haddad opened the Gallery in 1991, the first gallery in Hudson, NY. at the time.

The gallery became an instant success and continues to show the best established and newly discovered artists of the Hudson Valley.

The gallery was voted "Best Gallery of Contemporary Art in the Hudson Valley" by Hudson Valley Magazine.

Adul00+ FREE PERFOICJacob’s Pillow Danced Festival announced its 2010 full season calendar, including more than 200 free performances, talks, photography exhibits, tours, and events. Free event highlights include the Blake’s Barn exhibit Lois Greenfield: Imagined Moments, featuring Greenfield’s signature dance photography, and “Let’s Dance!” a new community event on July 4 with free dance classes and workshops for teens and adults. PillowTalks, held Thursdays at 5pm and Saturdays at 4pm, include Virginia Johnson, recently named Artistic Director of Dance Theatre of Harlem (June 24), choreographer/director Bill T. Jones (July 22), and the return of Pulitzer Prize winner Jules Feiffer (July 31). Inside/Out performance highlights include the all-female hip-hop group Decadancetheatre (July 7), the dancers of The School at Jacob’s Pillow’s first ever Tap Program (July 10), alumnus of The School at Jacob’s Pillow and Artistic Director of his own ensemble, Avi Scher (July 23), and ¡Flamenco Revolución! (August 27).

At the Season Opening Gala on June 19, Jacob’s Pillow will kick off a $100,000 “Save the Inside/Out Stage” public fundraising effort to support the reconstruction of the Marcia and Seymour Simon Performance Space, widely known as “Inside/Out.” At the Gala, patrons will pledge financial support during the live auction and the community fundraising initiative will continue at Jacob’s Pillow and online through August 29, 2010.

The funds raised during the Save the Inside/Out Stage initiative will complete a $1.1 million fundraising effort to improve selected public amenities and facilities. The new Inside/Out stage will include an expanded performance space with improved entrances and exits for artists, a musician’s platform, expanded artists' dressing areas, and new public walkways. This project is part of a Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund grant Jacob’s Pillow received in late 2009 which allows for funds raised during the Save the Inside/Out Stage efforts to be matched by the state. Beginning June 20, Jacob’s Pillow will accept donations online at www.jacobspillow.org/savethestage, and at four Pillow locations: the Box Office, the Pillow Store, Inside/Out, and the Member Services Table in front of the Ted Shawn Theatre.

Originally built in 1981 to provide additional space for The School at Jacob’s Pillow, Inside/Out is now a public stage featuring free performances by emerging and established dance companies and showings by dancers of The School every Wednesday through Saturday during the Festival at 6:15pm. Described by The New Yorker as “a breathtaking outdoor stage overlooking the lush Berkshire hills,” Inside/Out has become a tradition for audiences from Berkshire County and around the world. Last season, this free public series attracted more than 14,000 audience members.

Time & Space Limited: Hudson New York

TSL uses this concept of how theater works, as a blueprint for everything the company approaches. Time & Space Limited Theater Company was founded in NYC in 1973. In 1991, TSL moved to Hudson, New York, where it expanded its role as an avant garde theater company to include becoming a community arts organization, while always keeping theater at its core.

TSL’s programming spotlights the powerful role of the arts in awakening individual imaginations and fostering community participation. Whether offering people their first experience with live theater or opera, providing workshops and special enrichment projects for young people that include theater, art, movie-making, circus performance and gardening, or initiating discussions of local and global political issues, TSL is always looking to set off the spark that benefits and alters individual lives.

At its location in Hudson, TSL is both a beacon for change in Upstate New York and a national model, providing its community with an arts organization that is committed to constructing relationships on a local level.

We hope other artists follow our lead in demonstrating that art can be a powerful voice for change, by bringing their work, their passion, and their concerns to their communities.

Member: $5, General: $7, Student: $5

Using funny, often poignant examples, Strangers and Kin shows the development and effect of stereotypes as technological change collides with tradition in the Southern Appalachians. The film traces the evolution of the "hillbilly" image through Hollywood films, network news, entertainment shows, dramatic renderings of popular literature, and interviews with contemporary Appalachians to demonstrate how stereotypes are created, reinforced, and often used to rationalize exploitation. "Strangers and Kin" suggests how a people can embrace modernity without becoming strangers to their kin.
"There's not a TV watcher or movie fan who won't be surprised and enhanced by this lively and meaningful presentation on stereotypes we thought we had discarded 20 years ago."
-Peter Wood, Professor of History and Film, Duke University.

1984, 28 minutes

Dulcimers are one of the world's oldest musical instruments and have been heard in the southern mountains since the time of the earliest white settlers. The knowledge of how to make and play them has been handed down from one practitioner to another for generations. In this film, I.D. Stamper, a master dulcimer builder and player from eastern Kentucky, and John McCutcheon, a young musician, play together, swap tunes, discuss musical traditions and demonstrate the difference between hammered and mountain style dulcimer.

During the 1920s and '30s, the records and radio shows of A.P. Carter, his wife Sara, and sister-in-law Maybelle spread the music of the southern mountains around the world and earned the Carter family international fame. "Sunny Side of Life" celebrates the legacy of this country music dynasty by focusing on the Carter Family Fold in Maces Spring, Virginia--an old-time music hall founded in 1975 by Janette, Joe, and Gladys, the children of A.P. and Sara Carter. Sunny Side of Life is a fascinating history of the Carter Family and an examination of the way old-time music continues to be integrated into the life of this community.

1985, 58 minutes.

"Dreadful Memories is a fine and moving testament to a hard life and a slice of history coal interests would probably rather forget. It is a reminder of the realities of class, the sort of footnote whole new books come from, full of real details and real people."
-Jo Carson, Now and Then Magazine

"In a society that can honor Loretta Lynn or Emmylou Harris, but not Sarah Ogan Gunning, clearly something is wrong. It means we haven't been able to deal with our roots. We haven't been able to deal with our giants."
-Archie Green, folklorist and labor historian.

Outdoor Movies: Ratatouille

Friday, Aug 27th: 8:00pm (or when it becomes dark, whichever is sooner)
Free

With astounding animation, inspirational messages, and endearing characters, Pixar Animation Studios (The Incredibles, Cars) and Walt Disney Pictures have whipped up something special with Ratatouille. A rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) lives in Paris with a dream to be a chef. Opting to raid the kitchens of Paris rather than the garbage cans and sewers of the city with his family, Remy is inspired by the philosophy of one of the city's most legendary chefs, the late Gusteau (Brad Garrett). One night, Remy can't resist practicing his skill in Gusteau's restaurant. While his guard is down, Remy is discovered by a klutzy young man, Linguini (Lou Romano), who cleans the kitchen. Together Remi and Linguini become a culinary duo, with Remy playing puppeteer by concealing himself under Linguini's chef's hat. Soon Gusteau's restaurant becomes the talk of the town--but would it still be the toast of Paris if everyone knew a rat was running the show? A heartwarming and funny must-see!

Films are screened in The Pocket Park located at 330 Warren Street in Hudson. Come to the park, bring a chair, and enjoy movies in the open air.

Saturday, Aug 28th: 3:30
Member: $5, General: $7, Student: $5

Join us for 4 short profiles:

Mabel Parker Hardison Smith is a black Appalachian who taught school for over 35 years in the coalfields of eastern Kentucky. Beloved by students from several generations, she is also well known for her musical abilities. Full of humor and vitality, Mabel Smith speaks eloquently about her family's history in the deep South, their migration to the mountains, and life in the segregated coal camps.

1985, 29 minutes

Oaksie is a portrait of eastern Kentucky basket maker, fiddler, and harp player Oaksie Caudill. The film follows Oaksie through the steps of making a basket, from selecting the "right" tree, to splitting and pressing down the white oak, to whittling the ribs, and to the final act of weaving the oak strips together. Oaksie captures the feel and spirit of a man who has spent his lifetime surrounded by the beauty he has created in his craft and his music.

1979, 22 minutes

Evelyn Williams is a portrait of a woman who is many things: a coal miner's daughter and wife; a domestic worker and mother of nine; a college student in her 50s and community organizer; an Appalachian African American. Now in her 80s, she is battling to save her land in eastern Kentucky from destruction by a large oil and gas firm. Through her story, Evelyn makes important connections between civil rights, women's rights, and environmental concerns.

1995, 28 minutes

Woodrow Cornett: Letcher County Butcher follows an old-time mountain butcher, a master of his craft, as he goes through the intricate process of butchering a hog. With humorous commentary and harmonica playing, Woodrow Cornett: Letcher County Butcher was one of the first films produced by Appalshop and continues to be a favorite for its simplicity and directness.

When Theseus returns alive and well, Phedre, fearing exposure, accuses her stepson of rape. The result is carnage.
