SUMMARY:Book Tour: Palestine\, Israel\, and the U.S. Empire
DESCRIPTION:A sharp analysis of the struggle for Palestine gets an update following the events of October 7\, 2023. \nPalestine\, Israel\, and U.S. Empire is an essential book for the current moment. Taking a firm anti-Zionist perspective on the history of Palestine and Israel\, it traces the movements of resistance from British colonialism to the fight back in Gaza and the West Bank today. \nFrom the division of the Middle East by Western powers and the Zionist settler movement\, to the founding of Israel and its role as a watchdog for US interests\, to present day conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution—this narrative is firmly rooted in the politics of Palestinian liberation. Here is a necessary contribution to the heroic efforts of the Palestinian people to achieve justice in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This book contains a complete index and a timeline of developments in the history of Palestine.

SUMMARY:Opera Ithaca Presents The Turn of the Screw
DESCRIPTION:Opera Ithaca to end season in April with a unique horror-opera! \nOpera Ithaca continues to be a space for interesting and daring opera with its final show of the season\, The Turn of the Screw. This exciting piece has a unique place in opera history as one of very few in the horror genre. The opera\, adapted from a novella by the legendary British-American author Henry James which served to popularize the ghost story as a genre\, was composed by Benjamin Britten\, with a libretto by Myfanwy Piper. \nThis is a mysterious ‘haunted house’ story. It centers on two parentless children\, Miles and Flora\, and their unnamed Governess\, who is convinced that the children are being menaced by ghosts. It is never entirely clear whether the children can see the spirits\, or if the Governess is imagining them. The tragic ending of the opera is colored by the same ambiguity. \nA stellar cast includes soprano Lynn Craver as the Governess\, soprano Celeste Morales as Mrs. Grose\, tenor Gabriel Hernandez as Peter Quint\, soprano\, Melissa Wimbish as Miss Jessel\, soprano\, Emma Commisso as Flora\, and male soprano Wyatt McDaniel as Miles.\nStage director Susannah Berryman will bring this work to life\, together with music director Kristin Ditlow. \nThe Turn of the Screw will be performed April 19 and 21\, 2024\, at The Hangar Theater. Tickets may be purchased at https://hangartheatre.easy-ware-ticketing.com/events.

SUMMARY:Reading: Grace Period with Elisabeth Nonas
DESCRIPTION:Join Elisabeth Nonas for a reading from her new novel Grace Period. \nAbout the Book: \nJust as 70-year-old writing professor Hannah Greene walks into her retirement party\, she’s called to the ER because Grace\, her wife of 25 years\, has been in what turns out to be a fatal car accident. This was definitely not part of the plan the two had for their lives\, especially since Grace was ten years younger than Hannah. The plan had been for Hannah to join her art history professor wife on a sabbatical trip to Europe. Grace would do research\, and Hannah would figure out what she wanted to do in her retirement. How does an independent\, feisty lesbian adjust to both her suddenly widowed and newly retired life? How can she survive the loss of the spouse who statistically should have survived her? Grace Period tackles these questions head-on in an intimate\, witty portrayal of a woman grappling with the new and unexpected turn her life has taken. It is a tale of love\, loss\, and survival. \nAbout the Author: \nElisabeth Nonas\, the author of three published novels\, has written several screenplays as well as short stories\, magazine articles\, and essays. She coauthored with Simon LeVay the nonfiction City of Friends: A Portrait of the Gay and Lesbian Community in America. The author taught screenwriting and writing for emerging media at Ithaca College for twenty-five years. Nonas’s three novels focused on how lesbians form community and create family. Given that her first book appeared forty years ago when she was in her mid-30s\, she clearly has different concerns now as she ages and her life continues to unfold. These were what sparked “Grace Period.”Originally from New York City\, she lives in Ithaca\, NY\, with her spouse\, founding publisher and editor of Firebrand Books\, Nancy K. Bereano.
