Soiree in the Parlor Sept.24

Soiree in the Parlor

Mamalama
 

A listening experience that has been described as "like walking into a dream," Mamalama seamlessly weaves together world music (Native American, Middle Eastern, Celtic), classical minimalism, early/sacred/renaissance, psychedelia, indie-chamber music, and vivid lyrical mysticism.
Mamalama is an uncommon orchestration of harp and ethereal voice, hammered dulcimer, glockenspiel, melodica, tenor recorder, piano, tenor mandolin, quena, charango, panpipes, and choral voices.

Mamalama has produced three CDs, and read and hear more about the band and their music at http://www.mamalamaband.com.

Our upcoming shows will all be concentrating on playing some new material that blends Andes Manta's music and players with Mamalama's. Here is a link to a 28 minute section of this music from a concert in the Old Dutch Church in 2017:

Soiree in the Parlor

Join us on Memorial Day for a triple-header reading of scripts in process. Magic, a short screenplay by Nancy O. Graham, is a comic caper in the form of an unusual custody battle. In The Warriors, a short play by Kate Udall, an archeologist grapples with a Viking ghost, who may have the loot she needs to solve mysteries of the past. Open Mike, a screenplay in rhyming verse by Peter Ferland, is about college students who find thousands of dollars in a second-hand couch—and return the money. Inspired by a true story.

Nancy O. Graham, curator of this soirée, is a Kingston-based actor and writer. Recent acting credits include The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl (Threshold Stage Company, Kittery, ME); Tiny Rooms, a performance installation by Grace Pendleton (Brooklyn, NY); and The Skin of Our Teeth (Voice Theatre, Woodstock, NY). Her prose and poetry have been published in such online journals as Pindeldyboz, BlazeVox, and Eratio, and anthologized in In|Filtration: Innovative Poetry from the Hudson River Valley, edited by Anne Gorrick and Sam Truitt. 
 

Peter Ferland lives in New Paltz. He wrote and directed the family web-series Pirate Birthday Party, which can be seen on his website: www.peterferland.com. He also made a documentary about boys' rites of passage called Tending Fires and numerous music and commercial web videos.  He writes for children's television shows (Curious George, Arthur, Molly of Denali and a few others you've never heard of.) Open Mikeis in pre-production now, to be shot in the fall of 2018.

Kate Udall is an actor/playwright/audiobook narrator based in New Paltz. 

She has appeared in off-broadway, regional, and international productions, including The Waves (Blue Heron Arts Center/Culture Project), The Seagull (White Heron@Second Stage), and the short film Gravity, which premiered at Slamdance ’11 in Park City, Utah. Look for her as Special Agent Tammy Hattley in Season Three of the Netflix series Daredevil, airing in fall of 2018.
