Besides being all relaxing and festive, 4th of July weekend reminds me how fun it is to spend a summer evening being entertained in air-conditioned splendor. Why not use a few spare moments this holiday weekend to review the July schedule at DHPAC and sign up for a show or two at our wonderful, cozy (500 seats), air-conditioned theater? The smorgasbord of choices include: rock ‘n roll, comedy theatre, stand-up comedy, and a piano recital. How cool is that?

Ki writes: Last night was the opening night, world premiere, of Stewart Lane’s new play, “A Moment in Time”. Tickets for the Saturday and Sunday show are sold out. Though, if you have tickets already and want a sneak peak, or if you just want to see what all the fuss is about, here are some great photos I found posted on the web:
Well…last I heard from the Box Office, we are sold out for “A Moment in Time”, the new play by Stewart Lane, with the music of John Denver.
So, if you want to see something at DHPAC, what’s next?
Well…lots of music coming up. See the full Calendar of Events: here.
And, as for theatre…
Well, compared to “A Moment in Time”, this show is something “completely different” — in a Monty Python sort of way. Though, it includes several world premieres, and it is going to be really, really good:
“American Dating Catastrophes VIII” is a series of short plays by new writers, which zero in on the ups and downs of modern dating. This show is presented by Middle Class American Productions, Long Island’s only, all-original, comedy theatre. A show worth seeing. An idea worth supporting.
Show times:
Friday, July 16th at 7:30pm
Saturday, July 17th at 7:30pm
Sunday, July 18th at 2pm

Four-time Tony winning producer, Stewart F. Lane is set to direct A Moment in Time. Lane has directed across the country productions of The Foreigner; Aint’ Misbehavin’; The Golden Age; Frankenstein; Final Appeal, with Chazz Palminteri and Stephen Baldwin; and In The Wings, with Shannon Doherty. Lane’s playwriting credits include In The Wings and If It Was Easy, which was nominated for the American Theatre Critics Association’s New Play Award.

On Thursday, April 29th through Sunday, May 2nd, Five Towns College Theatre Department will present The Full Monty at DHPAC/Dix Hills Performing Arts Center. The show is directed by Adam Karsten.
In this absolutely hilarious musical, based on the Americanized version of the 1997 British film, six unemployed Buffalo steelworkers decide to stage a strip show at a local club after they witnessed how enthusiastic their wives were for a touring company of Chippendales. As they get ready to perform for their friends and family, the men realize all of their own fears in a whirlwind of comedy in which you can’t help falling over with laughter.
The Full Monty was nominated on Broadway for Best Musical, Best Musical Score, Best Choreography, Best Direction, and Best Book of a Musical.
The music in The Full Monty takes you on a fun, pop-inspired contemporary journey of self-discovery with the most ridiculous moments in musical theatre!
Please note that THE FULL MONTY contains adult language, partial nudity, and is intended for mature audiences. (Know any mature audiences who would enjoy a good laugh?) Continue reading ‘Coming up: Fun musical theatre – The Full Monty’

I was able to get into the Wednesday night dress rehearsal of Macbeth for a short time. I came away understanding the unique style of this performance.
The set design, lighting, and costumes work very well to create the feel of mystery, fate, and nature. Continue reading ‘Reflections on a rehearsal of Macbeth’
There is a swirl of preparations throughout Five Towns College, for the production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth which starts tomorrow, Thursday, April 15, 2010.
I caught up with the Costume Crew, led by Professor Sherry Kfare, with three students sorting and sewing on the gym floor. Kristina Lodestro of the costume crew took a break to show me three of the costumes. First: A witch costume, then Macbeth, then one of the dresses for Lady Macbeth. The play is set in post-apocalyptic Scotland in the year 2020, so the costumes have a modern edge.
