Rooted in jazz, blues, gospel, and New Orleans style, her latest CD "I Must Be Dreaming," is a 2008 Village Voice Jazz Consumer Guide listing. She has garnered consistent raves throughout the U.S. and Europe including: "Ms. Natal bends and twists her notes in unexpected fashions, makes startling leaps around the scales, and has the daring to expand and extend what might be a satisfactory note to open up a fresh and revealing color” ( NY Times) and "...she's a hell of a singer...(her) intense 'You Go to My Head' ends up somewhere close to Coltrane's 'Equinox.' This is jazz singing at its highest level." (Cadence).

On a June evening in 1938 director Orson Welles, producer John Houseman and the cast and crew of a new Broadway musical were locked out of their theater on opening night by armed servicemen under orders from the Federal Govt. Without costumes, sets, lights or sound, Welles and Houseman found an unused theater, rented an upright piano and marched their audience up Broadway for what has become the most historic theatrical opening ever recorded. The entire libretto performed from the audience by actors forbidden to step onto the stage, received a 40 minute standing ovation, as legend has it. An operetta about greed, corruption and the plight of the worker could not be more timely.

Every day, East Villager Adam and his wife Wendy play a private game in which they try to trick each other with outrageous lies. But when their daily routine is interrupted by what seems to be another terrorist attack, they become unwitting players in a different sort of deception -- one that reveals the fragility of their post-9/11 lives and leads them to deadly consequences.

A midwestern town's annual food fair is in full swing. Locals converge along the banks of the muddy river to sample pulled pork, baked beans, and corn. Nineteen-year-old runaway Jim comes for the meth. New Yorker Karen, on a rare return to her roots, picks at her barbecued chicken, potato salad, and a very old wound. Her townie brother Tripp sharpens his teeth on some juicy ribs and a simmering sibling rivalry. All any of them really craves is a good helping of love and acceptance, and even just a taste of “welcome home."

“The Common Swallow,” was developed in the Dorothy Strelsin New American Writers
Group at Primary Stages. David Caudle is also author of the acclaimed, award winning play, “The Sunken Living Room.”

Admission $10 Tickets: www.brownpapertickets.com

TRY! TRY! by Frank O’ Hara
Produced by Verse Theater Manhattan:
Richard Ryan Producer
“A wife waits for her husband to come home form the war. Her lover waits for her husband to come home from the war. Her husband comes home from the war. This won’t be pretty.”
Try! Try!, first published in 1951, is among O’Hara’s earliest theater pieces, and remains one of his most lyrical and accessible works – in its unnerving blend of Greek tragedy and Hollywood farce it remains both delightful and unsettling. The poet Frank O’Hara (awarded the National Book Award for Poetry posthumously in 1972) was a key figure in the postwar New York School of poets and painters which includes poets John Ashbery and James Schuyler, and painters Larry Rivers and Jasper Johns.
•••••
Clutter by Kristin Prevallet
Produced by Verse Theater Manhattan
A boy. A girl. A radio. Trying to make sense out of chaos.
“Clutter,” poet Kristin Prevallet's one-act lyric drama, is a love story about social absurdity and poetic crisis. A girl searches for meaning in words that make sense only to her. A boy tries to counter chaos by rearranging the furniture. Luckily they share the same muse -- a voice from the radio -- who reveals the secret that just might bring them back together.

AT MILLENNIUM FILM WORKSHOP 66 East 4th St (between Bowery & 2nd Aves.)
Thurs – Sunday Sept 17 -20
Tickets: www.brownpapertickets.com
Using Allen Ginsberg (the inspiration for the HOWL! Festival) as a point of departure, this series of programs links film and video to the various underground creative movements transpiring in the East Village in fact and in spirit: poetry, music, theater, performance, and the fine arts, as well as protests affirming sexuality, opposing gentrification, and supporting the flourishing of a subversive culture.

Two different film and video programs presented each day, organized around specific personalities, themes, locales, or motifs will include:
“Allen Ginsberg on Film”,
“Jack Smith and the Lower East Side
(as seen by Ken Jacobs)”,
“The Living Theater and the New American Cinema”,
“Punk Rock, Forever!”,
“In and Around Tomkins Square Park”, and
“A Moveable Feast: A Tribute to the New York Film-Makers’ Cooperative”. Special invited guests will appear to introduce individual films in the programs and to engage in a discussion with the audience.

The Millennium has a long tradition of showing work by independent film and video artists, and was a familiar haunt of Ginsberg during his lifetime.

235 Bowery (Prince St & Bowery)
presents:
Arthur’s Landing (Songs by Arthur Russell)
Friday Sept 11 5pm – 7pm
Part of Art on the Bowery
ARTHUR'S LANDING is a group of musicians who all worked at various times in various contexts with the late Arthur Russell, a cellist and composer from Iowa who lived for most of the later part of his too short life on the Lower East Side. Russell brought together the worlds of dance, pop, and folk with that of downtown's “new music,” and fused Western musical tradition with elements of the Eastern, driven by his engagement with Buddhist thought and practice. He collaborated often with Allen Ginsberg, and Phillip Glass was also an early mentor. Arthur Russell is the focus of the feature length 2008 documentary Wild Combination from director Matt Wolf. A biography, called Hold Onto Your Dreams by Tim Lawrence, is due out this year.
The Arthur’s Landing ensemble will perform pop songs, parts of a longer instrumental work called “Singing Tractors” and will be available following the performance to answer questions about Russell’s life and work.
ARTHUR'S LANDING (songs by Arthur Russell ) Joyce Bowden- voice; Steven Hall-voice, guitar; Ernie Brooks -voice, bass; John Scherman-lead guitar; Bill Ruyle- drums, hammered dulcimer; Mustafa Ahmed-percussion; Peter Zummo- voice, trombone; Alex Waterman – cello.
