SUMMARY:“Ragtime: The Musical”
DESCRIPTION:This July\, the Hangar Theatre’s 2024 Mainstage season continues with “Ragtime: The Musical”—a timeless masterpiece that Time magazine has hailed as “a triumph for the stage.” Through its exploration of the lives of an enterprising Jewish immigrant\, a courageous Harlem pianist\, and a conflicted upper-class wife\, “Ragtime” celebrates the soaring sounds and can-do spirit of America at the dawn of the last century. \nBased on E. L. Doctorow’s sweeping novel\, “Ragtime” features music by Stephen Flaherty\, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens\, and a book by Terrence McNally. “Ragtime” is presented by the Hangar Theatre in association with FIM Flint Repertory Theatre\, whose Producing Artistic Director\, Michael Lluberes\, also serves as director for the Hangar production. \nThe opening performance will take place on Friday\, July 12\, at 7:30 p.m.\, preceded by a preview performance on Thursday\, July 11\, also at 7:30 p.m.; matinee and evening performances will run through Saturday\, July 20. On July 16\, members of the “Ragtime” cast and creative team will participate in a post-show “Tuesday Talkback” following the evening performance. \nThe stars of “Ragtime” include Ben Cherry (whose Broadway credits include “Indecent” and “Fiddler on the Roof”) as Tateh; Jaden Dominique (“The Color Purple\,” “Sister Act” Broadway national tour) as Sarah; Erin Davie (“Diana\,” “The Mystery of Edwin Drood\,” and “A Little Night Music” on Broadway) as Mother; Bill English (“Days of Wine and Roses” and “Anything Goes” on Broadway) as Father; and Clyde Voce (“The Color Purple”; “Sister Act” Broadway national tour) as Coalhouse Walker Jr. \nADDITIONAL INFO ABOUT THE PRODUCTION:\n“Ragtime” will take place indoors on the Hangar Theatre’s Niederkorn Stage. Please note: “Ragtime” is recommended for mature upper-elementary-aged children and older\, as the show contains strong language\, including the use of racial epithets\, and simulated violence.

SUMMARY:So You Want to Write a Picture Book
DESCRIPTION:With Rowen MacCarald and Sue Heavenrich. The picture book market today looks radically different from the market twenty years ago. Word count. Book length. Themes and story structure. Join two picture book authors for an exploration of the current picture book landscape and a look at some of the interesting and original books that have come out in the last five years. We’ll cover a few of the basics of modern picture book conventions as well as delve into topics of interest to publishers right now\, innovative nonfiction approaches\, and the principles of using mentor texts—published books we can study for inspiration and direction—in our own writing process. We’ll have time to play around with story concepts\, and participants will walk away with ideas to jumpstart their own picture book projects. rowenmaccarald.com

SUMMARY:Ghosts of Glencoe - Book Reading with Chuck Schwerin
DESCRIPTION:About the Book \nGhosts of Glencoe is a riveting multi-generational adventure of self-discovery. The novel spans a mere four months\, set at a unique junior boarding school\, and played out in the rugged Adirondack mountains of New York. \nThis is a Hero’s Journey for two flawed protagonists\, one fifteen\, the other sixty-three. Both struggle to be accountable to themselves and to those who love them\, for their hubris\, betrayals\, for the shadows they created and still carry. In their tortuous path to absolution\, both discover one is never too young to teach\, nor too old to learn. \nIn the fall of 2002\, dramatic events engulf three ninth graders (not the best of friends)\, their passionate Scottish headmaster\, and an unlikely pair of escapees from a nearby prison. The inevitable collision of these forces demonstrates that age and experience have no monopoly on bravery or vulnerability. Only after superficial differences are peeled away can the teens summon the strength to find common ground to confront their frailties under the most trying conditions—lost in the snowy mountains with rescuers urgently trying to find them and the convicts desperately plotting to eliminate them. \nGhosts of Glencoe is a page-turning adventure\, set in wilderness that is as much a factor as the characters themselves. The story entertains\, educates\, and illustrates how the mountaineering mantra—Fellowship of the Rope—embodies the imperative that if we don’t hang together\, we will surely hang alone. \nAbout the Author \nChuck Schwerin is a serial entrepreneur\, having co-founded several medical device and biotech startups\, holds three patents on geographic information technology\, and taught entrepreneurship at Binghamton University. As a committed environmentalist\, Chuck’s volunteer work reflects those passions. Through his editorship\, he transformed Adirondack PEEKS magazine for the Adirondack 46ers and produced a quarterly online newsletter for the Edward L. Rose Land Conservancy. \nHe is also on the Advisory Board of the World Trails Network-Hub for the Americas that supports field schools and an expedition program\, promoting trail conservation\, sustainability\, and stewardship. His passion for mountains is not only reflected as a central theme in The Ghosts of Glencoe\, but has been the impetus for climbing trips on his own\, as well as guiding children\, to mountain ranges in many parts of the world.

SUMMARY:https://www.buffalostreetbooks.com/event/crossing-line-finding-america-borderlands
DESCRIPTION:About the Book \nIt was family separation and “kids in cages” that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. On discovering the many-headed hydra that is the U.S. immigration system–and the heroic determination of those caught under its knee–she could never look away again. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah’s journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes\, layer by “broken” layer\, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyone–save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it. \nDeftly weaving together oral storytelling\, history\, and memoir\, Sarah illustrates how the U.S. has led the retreat from post-WWII commitments to protecting human rights. Yet within the web of normalized cruelty\, she finds hope and inspiration in the extraordinary acts of ordinary people who prove\, every day\, there is a better way. By amplifying their voices and celebrating their efforts\, Sarah reveals that we can welcome with dignity those most in need of safety and compassion. In unmasking the real root causes of the so-called “crisis” in human migration\, she urges us to act before we travel much farther down our current course–one which history will not soon forgive\, or forget. \nAbout the Author \nSarah Towle is an educator\, researcher\, and writer; a human rights defender\, nature lover\, and vocalist. She resides in an ephemeral borderlands\, buffeted and buoyed by a diversity of languages\, cultures\, landscapes\, and creeds. She has taught English language literacy\, cross-cultural communication and conflict resolution skills\, and the writing craft for three decades across four continents in myriad classroom contexts\, including under the trees in refugee settings. \nAn award-winning children’s author\, Sarah has earned accolades for her interactive tales for educational tourism. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands is her debut full-length book.

SUMMARY:Reading Widely Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join historian Jeff Iovannone for a conversation about The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions\, a novel about queer communal living in the heart of Ithaca\, NY. \nBook club books are 10% off when purchased in store and online at Buffalo Street Books. \nAbout the Book \nThe Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions is a beloved queer utopian text written by Larry Mitchell with lush illustrations by Ned Asta\, published by Calamus Press in 1977. Part-fable\, part-manifesto\, the book takes place in Ramrod\, an empire in decline\, and introduces us to the communities of the faggots\, the women\, the queens\, the queer men\, and the women who love women who are surviving the ways and world of men. Cherished by many over the four decades since its publication\, The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions offers a trenchant critique of capitalism\, assimilation\, and patriarchy that is deeply relevant today. This new edition will feature essays from performance artist Morgan Bassichis\, who adapted the book to music with TM Davy in 2017 for a performance at the New Museum\, and activist filmmaker Tourmaline.

SUMMARY:Unleashing the Power of the List Poem
DESCRIPTION:With Wren Tuatha. Does making a list into a poem sound like cheating? It’s possible that poems you remember most are based on lists\, whether you detected them or not. Begin with Major Jackson’s “Why I Write Poetry”… Utilizing countless forms\, voices\, and shapes\, a list can really make your topic pop off the page and perform. The list is a surprising way to illuminate what’s at stake in your subject. Sometimes lighthearted\, sometimes profound\, a list poem can hook your reader in a compelling\, unforgettable\, and imminently accessible way. Sharing examples from poets Ellen Bass\, Tracy K. Smith\, Kwame Dawes\, Oliver de la Paz\, Diane Seuss\, Allison Joseph\, Chen Chen\, Molly Fisk\, Walt Whitman\, and more\, Ithaca Poetry Center director and published poet Wren Tuatha will share their favorite list poems and support participants in starting their own dynamic poems using this flexible craft strategy.

SUMMARY:Liberated to the Bone: Book Talk with Susan Raffo
DESCRIPTION:Susan Raffo is the author of Liberated to the Bone\, part of adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy Series from AK Press. She is also currently spending a year walking from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and will be in Ithaca as part of that walk. This event is going to be a mix of conversation and practice\, all of it sitting around the question guiding her walk: what does it mean to live on this land in a good way – together. This is not an idealistic question\, but a deeply practical one embedded with 500+ years of colonial and racial violence and so much resistance\, reclamation and remembering. This question holds in its heart the fact of genocide\, of climate destruction\, and of increasing surveillance technologies that depend on eugenic profiling to determine who fits and who doesn’t and also the fact that within a week of closing down capitalism in light of COVID\, wolves were spotted walking through Minnesota cities. Raffo’s work is grounded in healing justice and her work in Minneapolis has included being part of healing justice and abolition strategies.

SUMMARY:China in Global Capitalism: Building international solidarity against imperial rivalry\, a conversation with Eli Friedman and Kelvin Lin
DESCRIPTION:From trade wars and pandemic politics to rioting workers\, intercontinental balloons\, and battles over TikTok\, the US-China relationship has become increasingly hostile in recent years. Whether in the form of overtly racist rhetoric and aggressive trade actions\, or the more buttoned down but equally antagonistic efforts to oppose Chinese interests abroad\, the US has made clear that it has no interest in giving up its position as global hegemon. This seemingly endless cycle of nationalism\, jingoism\, and reactionary politics on both sides of the Pacific suggests a downward spiral that could plausibly result in catastrophic military confrontation. \nEli Friedman teaches in the Department of Global Labor and Work at Cornell University. His most recent book is *The Urbanization of People: Development\, Labor Markets\, and Schooling in the Chinese City*. \nKevin Lin writes about labor and capitalism in China. \n*China in Global Capitalism*forcefully makes the case that workers and socially marginalized people in *both* the US and China must oppose our rulers’ claims that they have our best interests in mind as they ratchet up their rivalry. Rather\, if we’re to avert nuclear calamity\, we must oppose imperialism in all its forms\, and regardless of its source and rhetoric.
