SUMMARY:Theatre Incognita presents THE GLASS MENAGERIE by Tennessee Williams
DESCRIPTION:A single mother raising two children in the Depression dreams of a Southern gentility long vanished. A sensitive daughter wraps herself up in a world of glass and old records.

Into their lives drops a ‘gentleman caller’ —“the long-delayed but always expected something that we live for.” \nTheatre Incognita concludes its spring 2024 season with performances of Tennessee Williams’ immortal THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Community School of Music and Arts in downtown Ithaca. \nKristin Sad takes on the iconic role of the mother\, Amanda. Jonah Hirst plays her son\, Tom; Kylie Schultz plays the daughter\, Laura; and AJ Sage plays Jim O’Connor\, their ’gentleman caller.’ \nEvening performances are at 7 pm\, Friday & Saturday May 3–4\, and Thursday through Saturday May 9-11. Matinee will be offered at 2pm on Sunday May 5 and May 12 (Mother’s Day). Tickets available at incognita.ludus.com

SUMMARY:Reading Widely Book Club - The Golem of Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:For this month’s Reading Widely Book Club\, Buffalo Street Books’ Events Coordinator Nora will be leading conversation alongside Khiya Connolly-Sisk on Adam Mansbach’s most recent novel\, The Golem of Brooklyn. \nBook club titles are 10% off when purchased in-store and online. \nAbout the Book \nIn Ashkenazi Jewish folklore\, a golem is a humanoid being created out of mud or clay and animated through secret prayers. Its sole purpose is to defend the Jewish people against the immediate threat of violence. It is always a rabbi who makes a golem\, and always in a time of crisis. But Len Bronstein is no rabbi–he’s a Brooklyn art teacher who steals a large quantity of clay from his school\, gets extremely stoned\, and manages to bring his creation to life despite knowing little about Judaism and even less about golems. Unable to communicate with his nine-foot-six\, four hundred-pound\, Yiddish-speaking guest\, Len enlists a bodega clerk and ex-Hasid named Miri Apfelbaum to translate. Eventually\, The Golem learns English by binging Curb Your Enthusiasm after ingesting a massive amount of LSD and reveals that he is a creature with an ancestral memory; he recalls every previous iteration of himself\, making The Golem a repository of Jewish history and trauma. He demands to know what crisis has prompted his re-creation\, and whom must he destroy. When Miri shows him a video of white nationalists marching and chanting “Jews will not replace us\,” the answer becomes clear. \nAbout the Author \nAdam Mansbach is a novelist\, screenwriter\, cultural critic and humorist. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Go the F*** to Sleep\, which has been translated into forty languages\, named Time Magazine’s 2011 “Thing of the Year\,” and sold over two million copies worldwide. The 2014 sequel\, “You Have to F****** Eat\,” is also a New York Times bestseller. \nMansbach is the recipient of a Reed Award\, a Webby Award\, and a Gold Pollie from the American Association of Political Consultants for his 2012 campaign video “Wake The F*** Up\,” starring Samuel L. Jackson. He was the 2009-11 New Voices Professor of Fiction at Rutgers University\, a 2012 Sundance Screenwriting Lab Fellow\, and a 2013 Berkeley Repertory Theatre Writing Fellow. His work has appeared in The New Yorker\, New York Times Book Review\, Esquire\, The Believer\, The Guardian\, The Los Angeles Times\, The Boston Globe\, and on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered\, The Moth Storytelling Hour\, and This American Life. Mansbach lives in Berkeley\, California\, and is a frequent lecturer on college campuses.

SUMMARY:Book Launch - ODAR Book One: Jido
DESCRIPTION:Denice Peter Karamardian grew up in Ithaca\, New York\, thinking she was Syrian – part of the small Syrian community that co-mingled with Greek\, Italian\, and other 20th century immigrant communities that helped to build the little city from the turn of the 20th century. Although both of her paternal grandparents came from Syria and spoke in Syrian\, she was only half right. At the age of 12\, she learned that her grandfather was actually Armenian and certain mysteries and stories emerged upon his death. Denice spent a lifetime searching for answers and details. \nThe result is a trilogy\, presented as historic fiction but based entirely upon the true story of the Karamardian family across continents\, wars\, and generations. The series is called Odar\, which means “other” in Armenian; sometimes it can mean “stranger” or “foreigner”. The author tracks a parallel narration of her own coming of age as it relates to the discoveries she makes in her search for identity. \nAbout the Book \nHovsep Karamardian is on the precipice of adulthood. Finishing his education\, he awaits a life in the family business that seems to him like a prison. On an errand to market\, an unexpected confrontation forever changes him. After living a life surrounded by family and friends in Kessab\, he is abruptly forced to travel with his brother to start again in the Americas. \nHovsep is odar or other in this new world. Relying on nothing but his own intrepid nature and ability to adapt\, he finds work\, love\, and friendships that will last a lifetime. \nThus begins a story that will span generations and trace the unfolding of improbably linked fates. Denice Peter Karamardian’s Jido explores the honoring of family\, memory\, and legacy even in the midst of new beginnings and evolving identities. \nAbout the Author \nDenice Peter Karamardian owns and operates a regional publication for Finger Lakes wine visitors and is at work on several books. She is retired from a rich tapestry of overlapping careers that spanned over forty plus years and included instructing voice\, host/producer of radio concert broadcast series\, fifty years of music and theater performance\, columnist and reviewer. She currently lives in her hometown of Ithaca\, New York (where she operated a bed and breakfast for two decades) near/with her family.
