"Amazing Grace"

11/29/2018

 
Picture






​Fairfield County "It!" recently
had a delightful time viewing

"Amazing Grace"


at the Westport Country Playhouse (Barn)
in Westport, CT.




​An Exhibition of 24 images and stories from each artist,
about real and imagined people from life’s shadow's

Miggs Burroughs will present a series of 24 mugshots with their
rap sheets, dating back to the early 1900s which,
using his signature lenticular technique, will change,
as the viewer walks by, into the innocent baby photo of each thug. What choices lead these characters down such dismal paths?
                  
Ann Chernow's work is based on impressions related to Film Noir, the American movie genre of the 1940s. 
For this exhibition of "Fictitious Icons"
Chernow has chosen to digitally abstract the heads of Noir stars not readily identfiable: their foibles, written and displayed in stories  beneath the digital images. 

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see.
The 1900's era criminals depicted in the exhibit are true mug shots from the NYPD. 

Miggs Burroughs, the artist, utilized Lenticular art to convey the transformation from youthful innocence to arrest.

Click to see the evolution of the toddlers into wanted men. 
Picture
Ann Chernow grew up fascinated with Film Noir during her childhood escape to  movie theaters. 

Her images convey the mystery, drama and racy lives of the heroines.

Picture
Picture
The opening was packed and a great event!
"Amazing Grace" is on display until December 22, 2018.   
Check it out before it closes!

"A Day in Nantucket!"

7/21/2018

 
Picture


​Fairfield County "It!"
​

had a charmed time in
​
Nantucket, Massachusetts.
Picture
First stop
​the Whaling Museum
a must see.
Inside you will be greeted by the 46 foot Sperm Whale
that washed up on the Nantucket shore on New Years Day in 1998.



​After the museum, we decided to do the Historic Walking Tour
which took us up
cobblestoned Main Street
with its large 18th and 19th century
Federal and Greek Revival
​homes topped with widow walks.  



Picture
Picture




The cobblestone streets,
laid in the mid 1800's contribute to the allure of Nantucket.




​


​Lower Main Street is full of clever shops such as Lion's Paw.



Picture
Picture

During our walking tour we met a native who suggested we visit
St. Paul's Church and view the Louis Comfort Tiffany windows.  

Inside, we met
the 
Reverend John Beach and he told us how extraordinary it is to see the windows glow when the sun directly shines through the glass. 

The windows date from the construction of the church in 1902 and were almost replaced, because they were considered dated.  
​Thankfully, they remain.
We hopped on Gail's Tours
 for a two hour bus excursion around the island.  
​Gail is a seventh-generation native and full of tales.

One stop was Old Mill where we learned in order for a Mill to work it needs either two or four sheets.
If you place three sheets,
the mill movement is crazy and that is where the phrase
"Three Sheets to the Wind" came from.
Picture
Picture




There are many bicycle rental shops and
nicely laid out biking trails throughout the island.  
You can easily bike to fabulous beaches, cranberry bogs and other wonderful seaside attractions.


​All along the island,
​the streets of Nantucket are lined with homes covered in
classic weathered cedar shingles and white trim.


Picture
Picture

​A great place to grab a bite to eat is
CRU located along the dock of Nantucket Harbor.  

The boat lined view of the waterfront is spectacular.
CRU is an oyster bar with upscale pub cuisine and a quality wine list.
 
I ordered two native Nantucket oysters,  
and the crispy flounder sandwich w/pickled red cabbage & cilantro aioli
 which paired well with a lovely 
rosé wine that tastefully balanced
the earthy cilantro enhanced fish and the sensual salinity of the
delicious oysters
. 
One of my friends enjoyed
"the fun to look at"
fried oyster slider sandwich.  

Overall CRU is a winner
with their creative approach to casual cuisine
and fantastic location!
Picture
Picture

Later we hopped back on the high speed ferry to Hyannis
enjoying the sunny view and soft breeze
​of the stunning Nantucket Sound.

Such summer fun!

A Conversation w/Telly Leung - Star of Broadway's Aladdin!

12/7/2017

 

​

​Fairfield County "It!"
had the opportunity to talk to
Telly Leung,
star of Broadway's Aladdin,
about his career, upcoming concert at Wall Street Theater in Norwalk and release of favorite songs "I'll Cover You".
Picture
Picture
I asked Telly what about him sets his talent apart from others and contributed to his amazing career on Broadway and TV (Glee).

He said overall there are not that many roles or shows that feature Asian actors, but he was lucky to have the opportunity, when he got out of Carnegie Mellon's School of Drama in 2002, 
to audition for the revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's

"Flower Drum Song".

​  The timing of that production just as he graduated was very fortunate for his career launch. 
I asked him about his worst moment on stage.  

"White Room".
White Room is what actors call being on stage and forgetting what show you are in,
the next line etc. 
He says it happens to all actors.  To recover from White Room you look around the stage for clues, or the conductor or a stage hand throws you a line of some sort to get you back into character. 
No matter how often you perform occassionally White Room will
show up and steal the scene.
Picture
Picture

Telly released his own collection of music

"I'll Cover You"
​
&
"Songs for You"

featuring some of his favorite songs from varying genres interpreting them in his unique fashion.



Picture

Telly is performing Monday, December 11, 2017 at the renovated historic
Wall Street Theater in Norwalk.  I asked him about the upcoming show.

He told me he loves doing cabaret and club acts and was very excited when Billy Blanks reached out to him to play at this new performing arts space.  The performance will also include top Broadway talent and
​is not to be missed!
Excited to see Telly Leung, Monday December 11th at the wonderful Wall Street Theater!

Top of THE MET!

10/26/2017

 
Picture



Fairfield County "It!"
had a fabulous time on the rooftop of
THE MET
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
in NYC!

The Theater of Disappearance
Picture

​As you step out onto the roof you enter what appears to be
​the aftermath of a very over the top party!

​Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas has transformed the Cantor Roof with an intricate site-specific installation that uses the Museum itself as its raw material. Featuring detailed replicas of nearly 100 objects from The Met collection, The Theater of Disappearance encompasses thousands of years of artistic production over several continents and cultures, and fuses them with facsimiles of contemporary human figures as well as furniture, animals, cutlery, and food. Each object—whether a 1,000-year-old decorative plate or a human hand—is rendered in the same black or white material and coated in a thin layer of dust.
The artist has reconfigured the environment of the Cantor Roof by adding a new pergola, a grand tiled floor, a bar, public benches and augmented planting throughout the space. The Met's own alphabet has even been incorporated into the graphic identity of the project. To realize this extensive work, the artist immersed himself in the Museum and its staff for many months, holding conversations with the curators, conservators, managers, and technicians across every department who contributed to the realization of this installation.

​THE MET


The artist's combination of classic art pieces
placed into another reality was very interesting.
​
I tried to determine where each sculpture used in the exhibit was
located inside the museum. 
That will take another visit to begin to solve.
Picture

​I love the spectacular view of Central Park and the Manhattan Skyline!

Afterward we visited Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and Rodin before heading off to Jean Georges restaurant "The Mark"!

At Val's Putnam & Wine
I learned about the invention of the "Gin & Tonic".  

Setting:  India - 1700's.
Quinine was shipped in as a necessary medicine to keep the English troops alive and well.
But hard to swallow.  

​To get it down,
they added some sugar and water.  Light bulb, they decided to add their daily ration of gin!  




Refreshing Greens from B.GOOD!

I very much enjoyed this kiss from Blue Tulip Chocolates.

Solid milk or dark chocolate
​hand painted lips.

We were happy to bump into Kathie Lee and enjoy her California wine
​GIFFT.


"Wine has been a huge part of every civilization
throughout history.

A glass of wine says,
slow down, savor your blessings, enjoy your family and friends,
and give thanks for the
harvest of life.”
