The Lost Weekend plus Q&A with May Pang

Saturday, May 20, 2023
6:00 PM 8:30 PM

May Pang will join us for a Q&A after the film. Taking place in conjunction with her photography exhibit at Arete Gallery in New Hope, May 19-21.
“The Lost Weekend: A Love Story” explores the 18-month relationship (1973-1975) that John Lennon spent with May Pang, his Chinese American assistant turned lover (on Yoko Ono’s insistence). With May’s help, Lennon reunited with his son Julian and had his most artistically and commercially productive period post-Beatles – with the albums “Mind Games”, “Walls and Bridges” which included his only #1 Hit Single “Whatever Gets You Through the Night”, “Rock and Roll” and collaborated with Elton John, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, Mick Jagger, and Ringo to name a few. Pang chronicles it all revisiting her younger self, a naïve 22-year old experiencing her first, unforgettable love. Rated NR, 1h34m.

Pride Weekend Special Event: Queerying Nature
Sunday, May 21, 2023
3:00 – 5:00 PM
In the animal world, sexuality and gender are diverse. In other words: being queer is natural. There are thousands of cases of homosexual birds, transgender fish, non-binary animals, polyamorous families… So what happened? Has our outlook changed? Queerying nature intertwines the words of Vinciane Despret, philosopher, Camille Pier and Gwen Seemel, artists, and biologists and ethologists to explode the idea of a sexual or gender norm. Nature is much more queer than us! Partly filmed in Lambertville, NJ and featuring local artist Gwenn Seemel, join us for a post screening QnA with Gwenn.

ActorsNET's production of The Merry Wives of Windsor
2023-06-09 08:00 - 2023-06-25 17:00 | The Heritage Center Theater, 635 North Delmorr Ave., Morrisville, PA, PA, 19067, United States
ActorsNET finishes its 26th season with a 1960s sitcom reboot of The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare, a bright and breezy comedy of sexual jealousy and overbearing egos set against a landscape of summer resort leisure and the “dirty dancing” music trend.
For tickets or additional information, visit the web site: www.actorsnetbucks.org.
Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Doors open one half hour before show time.
The play follows Shakespeare’s well-known old scoundrel, John “Sinjin” Falstaff (played by Rupert Hinton), who has become a nightclub entertainer, headlining at the Garter Restaurant in the Windsor Resort. Down on his luck, Falstaff schemes to seduce the titular merry wives, Mrs. Alice Ford (Cat Miller) and Mrs. Margaret Page (Shelli Pentimall Bookler), in an attempt to restore his fortunes. He sends them identical love letters, but his double-dealing ruse is discovered, and the two ladies are determined to teach him a lesson… or two… or three.
Meanwhile, the irrationally jealous Frank Ford (Joseph Torsella) has heard of Falstaff’s plan and decides to test his wife’s fidelity with some help from George Page (Greg Davis) and other Resort guests. In a subplot of young love, the Pages’ daughter, Anne “Goodbody” Page (Sarah Jane Zawodniak), is pursued by three suitors – Abraham Slender (Tyler Eisenacher), Doctor Caius (George Agalias), and young Fenton (Thomas Wick) – each of whom is paying the doctor’s receptionist, Nell Quickly (Lorie Baldwin), to push their cause.
There is much mayhem, dodgy disguises, misdirected letters, a “duel” and a midnight denouement, before the tangle is unraveled, the men-behaving-badly get their comeuppance, and the good prevails.
George Hartpence, the play’s director, notes that The Merry Wives of Windsor is a farce and one of the very few Shakespearean plays about normal middle-class folks who are behaving badly, and then get their just dessert. “It’s about action, not about the deep questions that keep people up at night. These are characters who just seem to bump into each other and bounce off each other — so that by the end, hopefully they learn something,” says Hartpence.
“Our cast and crew really brought this 1602 comedy into the 1960s. From the costumes that perfectly suit the personalities of the characters, such as Mrs. Page’s youthful polka dot dress, to the energetic music pieces and choreography that make you feel like participating in the talent show from Dirty Dancing – it will certainly be a blast from the past for some of our audience members,” says the producer, Karolina Matyka.
The Merry Wives of Windsor is directed by George Hartpence with Carol Thompson as assistant director. The show stars Rupert Hinton as John “Sinjin” Falstaff, Cat Miller and Joseph Torsella as Mrs. Alice Ford and Mr. Frank Ford, Shelli Pentimall Bookler and Greg Davis as Mrs. Margaret Page and Mr. George Page, Sarah Jane Zawodniak as Miss Anne Page, Ed Patton as Justice Robert Shallow, Barney Stone as Rabbi Saul Reichberg, Tyler Eisenacher as Abraham Slender, Barry Leonard as Bardolph, Lester Holmes as Nym, Ronald Pae as Pistol, Hans Peters as Peter Simple and Robert, Ellen Wisnosky as Hostess of the Garter, Lindsay Perr as Robin, Lorie Baldwin as Nell Quickly, James Cordingley as Jack Rugby, George Agalias as Doctor Caius, Thomas Wick as Fenton, and Richard Conte as John. Theresa Vassallo stage manages with assistance of Barry Leonard.
The Merry Wives of Windsor runs from June 9 to June 25 at the Heritage Center Theatre, located at 635 North Delmorr Avenue, Morrisville – near the Calhoun Street Bridge. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Doors open one half hour before show time.
For tickets or additional information, visit the web site: www.actorsnetbucks.org.

Ira Karp and Bread and Puppet Theatre: “The Honey Let’s Go Home Circus”
Thursday, June 22nd, 6pm
Friday, June 23rd, 6pm

Sliding scale tickets available here

The Honey Let’s Go Home Circus stars and is directed by 15 year old Ira Karp, who grew up in the Bread and Puppet Theater. Ira, who has Down Syndrome, uses the language of Bread and Puppet to construct a brightly colored and whimsical puppet circus. Purple cabbages sing and dance. A lion conducts an orchestra. Cardboard businessmen complain that their heads ache: the solution? Bake a gingerbread man! Ira’s favorite stories — Grimm’s fairy tales, Narnia, the Wizard of Oz— are juxtaposed with real life stories, both serious and playful. A trip to the fair with friends, a puppet falling down and getting up, and his grandmother’s death all become “acts” performed by Ira and his crew. Ira’s quirky sense of humor and freedom from conventional norms, his exuberance and delight in the performance make this a show not to be missed!
Ira Karp is a performer, director and high school student from Greensboro, Vermont. Every summer he spends as much time as possible at the Bread and Puppet Theater, which his grandfather, Peter Schumann, directs. At Bread and Puppet, Ira has performed as a flag waver, an announcer, an accordion player, Humanity, Hamlet/Ophelia, and as a drummer. Ira loves cooking, the Wizard of Oz, school, pop radio, and spending time with his friends. He attends Hazen Union High School in Hardwick, Vermont. In March 2023, he was a semi-finalist in the Vermont Poetry Out Loud contest. Ira lives with his parents, their cats, Lala and Starlight, and dog Maika. He plans to be an EMT and a baker when he grows up.
