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:“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. The production is the second in the Hangar’s 2024 Mainstage season\, which will conclude July 27–Aug. 3 with “Todd vs. the Titanic.” \nTICKET INFORMATION:\nTickets are available individually or as multi-ticket “FlexPass” subscriptions\, and there are many ways to save!
