Play | The Iron Heel: adaptation of Jack London's novel
The play is frameworked as a 27th Century Historical Reenactment Drama, presented in the socialist utopia London predicted in his prologue and footnotes. As onstage "historian," Antonia Meredith, welcomes the audience in with food, drink, and participatory music (folk songs from the early 20th Century, some with altered lyrics to reflect the action of the play). Written as socialist propaganda, the Iron Heel is the story of an election between a socialist revolutionary and an entrenched oligarch. The oligarch prevails, turning America fascist, and inspiring the Marxist revolution. Set in Jack London's future, 1912 - 1934, its themes nonetheless have obvious relevance during this election season, a century later. This performance is an open rehearsal.

Play | Hudson Warehouse presents Aristophanes' Lysistrata
Originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC, Aristophanes' Lysistrata is a comic account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War. Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes. The play is notable for being an early exposé of sexual relations in a male-dominated society.
This outdoor production, subtitled "Let's Make America Great Again," is adapted and directed by Susane Lee. June 30-July 24, Thursday through Sunday nights.

Jazz | Michael Arenella and Quintet, Hot Jazz from the 1920s and 1930s
Bask in the warmth of the American Jazz age with Michael Arenella and his Quintet, steeped in the hot dance band tradition of the 1920s and early 1930s. They play their "Hot-and-Sweet" music anywhere that fine and eclectic tastes meet. Arenella transcribes by hand their entire repertoire from period recordings. Their delivery, as well as their instruments, attire, and equipment — are faithfully accurate. Arenella's strong yet vulnerable baritone lacks pretense or sarcasm. He treasures each lyric, and has faith in the songs he sings. Even the most optimisic Tin Pan Alley tune has a disarming quality in his hands.

Concert | Salsa Sounds: Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz / Miramar
When one of the most famous New York salsa duos of all-time hit the stage, an epic evening is guaranteed. Since the mid-1960s, pianist and singer Richie Ray and singer-songwriter Bobby Cruz have amassed a rich catalog of recordings that reflects these musicians’ eclectic brand of salsa, which gleans elements of rock, jazz, and classical music. And if their records are the stuff of legend, the experience of seeing them perform live in front of a hometown crowd is not to be missed. Miramar, a trio formed by members of indie salsa band Bio Ritmo, opens the evening with the poignant boleros of Puerto Rican composer, singer, and poet Sylvia Rexach, whose songs have since become part of the Puerto Rican canon, but remains mostly unknown outside of her native island.

Theater | Shakespeare in the Park: Troilus and Cressida
Tony-winning director Daniel Sullivan returns with one of the Bard’s most rarely produced plays, Troilus and Cressida. Both warriors and lovers play hard to get in this surprisingly modern epic about the hot blood, hot thoughts and hot deeds of the ancient Greeks.
In the 7th year of the Trojan War, Troilus, a young prince, pines for the affections of Cressida, a bright young woman who knows how to play it cool. Meanwhile, the heroes of the Iliad – Ajax, Ulysses, Achilles and the kings they serve - debate whether to return the dangerously beautiful captive Helen or continue to fight without end. Nations and lovers alike do battle in this funny, piercing drama about romance and revenge in a world at war.
