SUMMARY:OKLAHOMA! matinee
DESCRIPTION:This is OKLAHOMA! as you’ve never seen or heard it before—reimagined for the 21st century and the Tony Award Winner for Best Revival of a Musical. \nDirect from an acclaimed run on Broadway comes an OKLAHOMA! that looks and sounds like America today. The Daily Beast raves “Forget your traditional idea of Oklahoma! Daniel Fish’s daring\, brilliant\, utterly absorbing re-interpretation is different—brilliantly so.” \nOKLAHOMA! tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider\, and the frontier life that shaped America. Upending the sunny romance of a farmer and a cowpoke\, this production “lets us experience Rodgers and Hammerstein’s greatness anew.” (The New Yorker). Without changing a word of text\, this visionary production allows the classic musical – and our country – to be seen in a whole new light. \nFunny and sexy\, inviting and illuminating\, “A smashing Oklahoma! is reborn. Daniel Fish’s wide-awake\, altogether wonderful production is thrilling!” (The New York Times). \n“This is the OKLAHOMA! that was there all along.” (New York Magazine).

SUMMARY:author signing with Brian Power
DESCRIPTION:Savoy Bookshop & Café presents an author signing with Brian Power for the book\, A Chance to Serve. Books will be available for purchase during the signing. \nAbout the Book\nLt. Col. Power vividly recalls a wide range of experiences from Boot Camp at Parris Island\, SC; to infantry training at Camp LeJeune\, NC; to Officer training at Quantico\, VA. He gives us the pros and the cons from his tour as a young lieutenant in Japan\, to his Reserve experiences as a junior infantry officer\, to his recall to Active Duty to attend the prestigious Naval War College in Newport\, RI\, to his final tour at the Pentagon where he again had been recalled to Active Duty for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.His reminiscences over more than a quarter-century of both Active and Reserve service in the Marine Corps reflect and magnify the core values (Honor\, Courage\, Commitment) that the Marines are taught (and you will be exposed to a few who do not always practice them). As Lt.Col. Power grew in his career he met remarkable people\, was supported with outstanding loyalty from his troops\, took part in significant events\, and had his heart filled with acomplishment and broken by duplicity. But his love for the Corps remained intact.Power weaves an engrossing tale of intriguing characters coupled with military events and highlighted by his sometimes joyous and hilarious experiences.It’s a good read.Lt. Col. Power retired from the Marine Corps Reserve in 1993. He began his writing career after retiring from a consulting and training business he started. You can find out more about his first book\, Song of Atlantis at songofatlantis.com. Mr. Power and his wife live in Rhode Island. \nAbout the Author\nLt. Col. Brian Power retired from the Marine Corps Reserve in 1993. He began his writing career after retiring from a consulting and training business he started. His first book\, Song of Atlantis\, has received great reviews. You can find out more at www.songofatlantis.com.\nHis first book\, here: https://brianpowerauthor.com/about.html.

SUMMARY:Whodunit? An Improvised Murder Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Whodunit? An Improvised Murder Mystery\nSaturdays\, February 19 – April 2\, April 8 – 9 at 7 pm \nClassic whodunits with a twist: it’s all improvised! Our actors weave webs of secrets\, deception\, and mystery as we wind our way through a different murder each week. \nThree friends rush to get to their chalet before a blizzard sets in. As they arrive at the secluded destination\, they realize the residence has been double-booked when they find three people asleep in their beds. With the storm fast approaching and deteriorating conditions\, the groups have no choice but to share the space. But as they hunker down for the night\, they soon realize the storm is not the only thing they need to fear. When the morning sun brings to light the murder of a guest\, they find there are more questions than answers. Are they all really suspects\, or are they convenient scapegoats for the real killer\, who’s still free and walking among them? You’ll have to come to find out!

SUMMARY:OKLAHOMA!
DESCRIPTION:This is OKLAHOMA! as you’ve never seen or heard it before—reimagined for the 21st century and the Tony Award Winner for Best Revival of a Musical. \nDirect from an acclaimed run on Broadway comes an OKLAHOMA! that looks and sounds like America today. The Daily Beast raves “Forget your traditional idea of Oklahoma! Daniel Fish’s daring\, brilliant\, utterly absorbing re-interpretation is different—brilliantly so.” \nOKLAHOMA! tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider\, and the frontier life that shaped America. Upending the sunny romance of a farmer and a cowpoke\, this production “lets us experience Rodgers and Hammerstein’s greatness anew.” (The New Yorker). Without changing a word of text\, this visionary production allows the classic musical – and our country – to be seen in a whole new light. \nFunny and sexy\, inviting and illuminating\, “A smashing Oklahoma! is reborn. Daniel Fish’s wide-awake\, altogether wonderful production is thrilling!” (The New York Times). \n“This is the OKLAHOMA! that was there all along.” (New York Magazine).

SUMMARY:Leah Angstman
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents Leah Angstman discussing the book Out Front the Following Sea. This event will be moderated by Nancy Burns-Fusaro from the Westerly Sun.\nOut Front the Following Sea book coverAbout the Book\nOut Front the Following Sea is a historical epic of one woman’s survival in a time when the wilderness is still wild\, heresy is publicly punishable\, and being independent is worse than scorned—it is a death sentence. At the onset of King William’s War between French and English settlers in 1689 New England\, Ruth Miner is accused of witchcraft for the murder of her parents and must flee the brutality of her town. She stows away on the ship of the only other person who knows her innocence: an audacious sailor—Owen—bound to her by years of attraction\, friendship\, and shared secrets. But when Owen’s French ancestry finds him at odds with a violent English commander\, the turmoil becomes life-or-death for the sailor\, the headstrong Ruth\, and the cast of Quakers\, Pequot Indians\, soldiers\, highwaymen\, and townsfolk dragged into the fray. Now Ruth must choose between sending Owen to the gallows or keeping her own neck from the noose. \nAbout the Author\nLeah Angstman is a historian and transplanted Michigander. Her writing has been a finalist for the Saluda River Prize\, Cowles Book Prize\, Able Muse Book Award\, Bevel Summers Fiction Prize\, and Chaucer Book Award\, and has appeared in Publishers Weekly\, L.A. Review of Books\, Electric Literature\, Nashville Review\, Slice\, and elsewhere. She serves as editor-in-chief for Alternating Current and vice chair for a Colorado historical commission. \nEvent date:\nMonday\, March 28\, 2022 – 6:00pm\nEvent address:\nBank Square Books\n53 West Main Street\nMystic\, CT 06355\nOut Front the Following Sea Cover Image\nOut Front the Following Sea (Paperback)\nBy Leah Angstman\n$19.95

Our actors weave webs of secrets\, deception\, and mystery as we wind our way through a different murder each week. \nThree friends rush to get to their chalet before a blizzard sets in. As they arrive at the secluded destination\, they realize the residence has been double-booked when they find three people asleep in their beds. With the storm fast approaching and deteriorating conditions\, the groups have no choice but to share the space. But as they hunker down for the night\, they soon realize the storm is not the only thing they need to fear. When the morning sun brings to light the murder of a guest\, they find there are more questions than answers. Are they all really suspects\, or are they convenient scapegoats for the real killer\, who’s still free and walking among them? You’ll have to come to find out!

SUMMARY:ANDY SHAUF W/ CASSANDRA JENKINS
DESCRIPTION:ANDY SHAUF W/ CASSANDRA JENKINS\nPRESENTED BY WESTERLY SOUND LIVE AT THE UNITED \nABOUT ANDY SHAUF \nFew artists are storytellers as deft and disarmingly observational as Andy Shauf. The Toronto-based\, Saskatchewan-raised musician’s songs unfold like short fiction: they’re densely layered with colorful characters and a rich emotional depth. On his new album The Neon Skyline (out January 24 via ANTI-)\, he sets a familiar scene of inviting a friend for beers on the opening title track: “I said\, ‘Come to the Skyline\, I’ll be washing my sins away.’ He just laughed\, said ‘I’ll be late\, you know how I can be.’” The LP’s 11 interconnected tracks follow a simple plot: the narrator goes to his neighborhood dive\, finds out his ex is back in town\, and she eventually shows up. While its overarching narrative is riveting\, the real thrill of the album comes from how Shauf finds the humanity and humor in a typical night out and the ashes of a past relationship. \n  \nHis last full-length 2016’s The Party was an impressive collection of ornate and affecting songs that followed different attendees of a house party. Shauf’s attention-to-detail in his writing evoked Randy Newman and his unorthodox\, flowing lyrical phrasing recalled Joni Mitchell. Though that album was his breakthrough\, his undeniable songwriting talent has been long evident. Raised in Bienfait\, Saskatchewan\, he cut his teeth in the nearby Regina music community. His 2012 LP The Bearer of Bad News documented his already-formed musical ambition and showcased Shauf’s burgeoning voice as a narrative songwriter with songs like “Hometown Hero\,” “Wendell Walker\,” and “My Dear Helen” feeling like standalone\, self-contained worlds. In 2018\, his band Foxwarren\, formed over 10 years ago with childhood friends\, released a self-titled album where Pitchfork recognized how “Shauf has diligently refined his storytelling during the last decade.” \n  \nThe Party earned a spot on the Polaris Music Prize 2016 shortlist and launched Shauf to an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden as well as glowing accolades fromNPR\, The Washington Post\, The Guardian\, and more. “That LP was a concept record and it really made me want to do a better album. I wanted to have a more cohesive story\,” says Shauf. Where the concept of The Party revealed itself midway through the writing process\, he knew the story he wanted to tell on The Neon Skyline from the start. “I kept coming back to the same situation of one guy going to a bar\, which was basically exactly what I was doing at the time. These songs are fictional but it’s not too far off from where my life was\,” Shauf explains. \n  \nFor The Neon Skyline\, Shauf chose to start each composition on guitar instead of his usual piano. He says\, “I wanted to be able to sit down and play each song with just a guitar without having to rely on some sort of a clever arrangement to make it whole.” The resulting album finds its immediacy in simplicity. While the arrangements on folksy “The Moon” are unfussy and song-centered like the best Gordon Lightfoot offerings\, his drive to experiment is still obvious. This is especially so on the unmoored relationship autopsy “Thirteen Hours\,” which boasts an arrangement that’s both jazzy and adventurous. \n  \nLike he’s done throughout his career\, Shauf wrote\, performed\, arranged\, and produced every song on The Neon Skyline\, this time at his new studio space in the west end of Toronto. Happy accidents like Shauf testing out a new spring reverb pedal led to album cuts like the woozy closer “Changer” and experimenting with tape machines forced him to simplify how he’d arrange the tracks. Over the course of a year-and-a-half\, Shauf ended up with almost 50 songs all about the same night at the bar. Though paring down his massive body of work to a single album’s worth of material was a challenge for Shauf\, the final tracklist is seamless and fully-formed. \n  \nAs much as The Neon Skyline is about a normal night at a bar with friends and a bartender who knows exactly what you’ll order before you sit down\, the album is also about the painful processing of a lost love. Lead single “Things I Do” examines the dissolution of the narrator’s past relationship. Over tense and jazz-minded instrumentation\, Shauf sings\, “Seems like I should have known better than to turn my head like it didn’t matter. Why do I do the things I do when I know I am losing you?” He explains\, “a lot of this record is a breakup record. I haven’t had a breakup in a long time\, but a lot of relationships have had one of those nights where one person shows up somewhere when they weren’t supposed to and then picks a fight with their partner.” Elsewhere\, songs like “Clove Cigarette” explore the better times\, honing in on a memory that “takes me back to your summer dress.” \n  \nWith any album about a lost love\, the key ingredient is a generosity and kindness that can only come from a writer as empathic as Shauf. On the standout personality-filled single “Try Again\,” the narrator\, his friends\, and his ex find themselves at a new bar. The former lovers’ reunion is awkwardly funny and even sweet\, as he sings\, “Somewhere between drunkenness and charity\, she puts her hand on the sleeve of my coat. She says ‘I’ve missed this.’ I say “I know\, I’ve missed you too.” She says\, ‘I was actually talking about your coat.’” It’s a charming moment on a record filled with them. Shauf’s characters are all sympathetic here\, people who share countless inside jokes\, shots\, and life-or-death musings on things like reincarnation when the night gets hazy. \n  \nOn top of heartbreak\, friendship\, and the mundane moments of humanity that define his songwriting\, Shauf makes music that explores how easy it is to find yourself in familiar patterns and repeat the same mistakes of your past. His characters wonder\, “Did this relationship end too soon? Would going to another bar cheer my friend up?” Or in the case of the foreboding “Living Room\,” where a character asks herself\, “How hard is it to give a shit?” the songs on The Neon Skyline ultimately take solace in accepting that life goes on and things will be okay. Shauf says\, “there’s moments on the album where the characters are thinking ‘this is the end of the world.’ But there are also moments with some clarity and perspective: Nothing is the end of the world.” \n  \nABOUT CASSANDRA JENKINS \n“Nothing ever really disappears\,” Cassandra Jenkins says. “It just changes shape.” Over the past few years\, she’s seen relationships altered\, travelled three continents\, wandered through museums and parks\, and recorded free-associative guided tours of her New York haunts. Her observations capture the humanity and nature around her\, as well as thought patterns\, memories\, and attempts to be present while dealing with pain and loss. With a singular voice\, Jenkins siphons these ideas into the ambient folk of her new album\, An Overview on Phenomenal Nature. \n  \n“The whole thing flows like an emotional breakthrough\, tying together disparate observations into a serene and unified vision\,” said Pitchfork\, which gave the album Best New Music. NPR\, in their coverage for New Music Friday\, called it “so\, so stunning.” \n  \nJenkins\, a veteran musician who’s played in the bands of Eleanor Friedberger\, Craig Finn\, Lola Kirke\, and rehearsed to tour with Purple Mountains in August 2019 before the tour’s cancellation\, spent months meticulously making her debut LP Play Till You Win. For Phenomenal Nature\, she arrived at engineer Josh Kaufman’s (The National\, The Hold Steady) studio with ideas rather than full songs – nevertheless\, they finished the album in a week. Jenkins’ voice floats amid sensuous chamber pop arrangements and raw-edged drums\, ferrying us through impressionistic portraits of friends and strangers. Her lyrics unfold magical worlds\, introducing you to a cast of characters like a local fisherman\, a psychic at a birthday party\, and driving instructor of a spiritual bent. In their Rising feature on Jenkins\, Pitchfork said: “The idea of decentering the self comes up again and again as a guiding principle… she acts as an ethnographer archiving quotidian sounds and conversations as much as a songwriter telling her own story.” \n
