Opening: Scott Michael Ackerman's "Sharp Teeth"

Sat., June 29, 2-6 p.m.

Opening reception for "Sharp Teeth."Scott Michael Ackerman, Kingston born and bred, has tapped into the narrative of folk law, fairy tale and the history of figurative painting in his new body of work Sharp Teeth presented by Hawk and Hive. Inhabited by a cast of wild beasts and peculiar characters, the paintings seem to hover somewhere between child-like enchantment and a shadowy place of suggested violence and the uncanny. For Ackerman, they express the travails of everyday life, interwoven with a dream-like imaginary world. He is exploring themes of “companionship, loneliness and a sense of wonder”.

"Brother's Keeper"

Sat., June 29, 2 p.m.

Written and performed by Wallace Norman, "Brother's Keeper is a gripping solo play about courageous survival and the delicacy of friendship. Playing 13 characters, Norman shares the journey of two young boys who are abused by a member of the Catholic clergy. Norman shifts between the two main characters as they grow up and apart. One does not survive the trauma. The other bravely confronts his abuser. This cathartic act leads to healing, love and a kind of peace.

Watch the trailer for Brother's Keeper.

"Ulysses"

Through July 14

If there’s one theatrical ensemble in America that is up for taking on James Joyce's Ulysses, it’s Elevator Repair Service. Founded in 1991 by John Collins, who for 13 years worked as a sound designer at the pivotal Wooster Group (the alma mater of Willem Defoe and Spalding Gray), Elevator Repair Service—cited as “one of New York City’s few truly essential theater companies” by the New York Times—has produced acclaimed adaptations of other modernist works including a version of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury; “The Select,” a reworking of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises; and, most famously, “Gatz,” an eight-hour performance of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
