Petite Soiree Musicale
Saturday, Nov. 10, 6pm

It’s with great enthusiasm that we are announcing Rising Stars’ Petite Soirée Musicale on Saturday November 10 at 6 PM.

We have been working on a program which should be a joy to listen to by all. Short works by four special performers. Keru Zhang, known by many Pianofest followers as well as Rising Stars’ audience will impress us with a formidable Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt, Jessica Fishenfeld, an opera singer and actor from NYC will delight us with “ I could have danced all night”, “Summertime” and a lovely aria by Rossini, Dr. Mike Errico will charm us with his own excerpts of West Side Story and our dear Konstantin Soukhovetski will end the program with two of his fabulous cabaret transcriptions of Broadway songs from his performances at the Southampton Inn’s Claude’s critically acclaimed residency this past summer.

We are lucky to have such a diverse musical line-up to compliment wine, bubbles, nibbles and a small auction. I promise you an evening to remember! At only $35 per person – this is the best Gala deal in all of New York! Call in your reservation now and tell all your friends to come and join our party!

The Red Badge of Courage
October 19 – November 4

Fridays & Saturdays at 7PM
Sundays at 2:30

boots on the ground theater has added an encore performance of The Red Badge of Courage that will be free for Veterans and their families. The additional performance will be on Sunday, November 4th, at 6:00 PM, at the Southampton Cultural Center. Veterans need to email Kirsten Lonnie at the SCC to reserve their free seats in advance.
Stephen Crane’s monumental Civil War classic, The Red Badge of Courage, has been described as a “parable of the inner battle every man must fight.” It centers on Henry Fleming, a young Union soldier who battles his inner demons as he runs from and eventually faces his greatest fears. Published in 1895, TRBOC is considered the first great war novel and has never gone out of print.
The cast includes Christopher Levi–an Iraq War Veteran and Wounded Warrior. Consulting on the show is another Veteran, Captain Joseph Bilardello, who served in Vietnam and is the Commander of the 67th NY Civil War Reenactors.
Historical accuracy is a high priority for producer Bonnie Grice. Great attention has been given to collecting costumes and props that are true to the period. To enhance the historical experience, an exhibition of Civil War memorabilia will be on display in the Cultural Center’s gallery. This rare collection will be curated by Stephen Gould in collaboration with the Southampton History Museum.
Tickets and showtimes for The Red Badge of Courage can be found at scc-arts.org. For more information, visit bootsonthegroundtheater.com.

Auditions for Reasons to be Pretty (Oct. 22 & 23)

/in , /by

Center Stage at Southampton Cultural Center to Hold Open Auditions for Neil LaBute’s Reasons to be Pretty.

Center Stage at Southampton Cultural Center will hold open auditions for the Neil Labute’s Reasons to be Pretty on Monday, October 22 and Tuesday, October 23 at 6:00 PM at the Southampton Cultural Center.

Auditions begin promptly at these times. Late arrivals will be seen at the discretion of the directors. Readings from the script will occur. Sides will be provided.
Joan M. Lyons directs.

When Greg makes a seemingly harmless comment about his girlfriend Steph’s “regular” looking face, the information gets back to Steph and sends their relationship over the deep end. Greg’s life spirals out of control when Steph leaves him, and he has to come to terms with what he has said. Greg’s best friend Kent is married to Steph’s best friend Carly, and when things start collapsing in Steph and Greg’s life, Carly and Kent are pulled in for the ride. We see Greg, Steph, Carly and Kent deal with the pressures of what it means to be ‘pretty’, and observe how the four friends manage the infidelity, betrayal and deceit that creeps into their lives.

Characters:

Greg – Male, late 20’s to 30’s: works as an overnight stocker in a big-box warehouse, lives with Steph; ordinary, decent, sweet with sense of humor, bookworm, not career driven, has a good sense of justice

Steph – This role has been cast

Kent – Male, late 20’s to 30’s: athletic, attractive, macho and childish with a locker room mentality, a hothead and jealous with a roving eye, works with Greg in the warehouse stockroom, married to Carly, can be a good friend if things don’t get too complicated

Carly – Female, late 20’s to 30’s : pretty, works as a security guard in the warehouse, a job she landed because she was pretty but has no aptitude for it, afraid that her life will always be defined by the way she looks, married to Kent and the stakes go up when she finds out she’s pregnant, sincere, honest and tries to be a good friend

Performances will begin on January 11, 2019 and run through January 27, 2019.
Most rehearsals are scheduled Mondays through Thursdays in the evening with weekend rehearsals just prior to show opening. For further information, contact Joan Lyons at [email protected]
