Henry Hudson 2011 Photos Up On Facebook!
AHOY!
We have completed our performance in this year's Hudson River Pageant!
There are photos up on Facebook, courtesy of the lovely Siobhan O'Loughlin. HERE THEY ARE! They're of our rehearsal at my apartment and our set-up for the performance, and the parade after. Too bad there are none of the performance itself because Siobhan was performing with us so she couldn't take pictures!
More soon!

Announcing! Henry Hudson and the Myth of the Crying Clouds!
At 2:50 pm on Saturday May 21st The New York City Street Players will be performing another environmental theatrical piece on the deck of the Queen of Hearts Steamboat! Just south of Christopher Street in Hudson River Park, as a part of the Hudson River Pageant. Please come out to support!
See parade schedule here.
The piece is written/directed by Drew Vanderburg and will feature music from members of the Rude Mechanical Orchestra. It marks the 400th anniversary of the mutiny of Hudson's crew and his subsequential abandonment on a boat-cast-adrift in the Hudson Bay. He was never seen or heard from again. The 5-minute-play's story is that he in fact lived a long happy life with Native Americans and fell in love with the land that he discovered. He dies at the source of the Hudson River, Lake Tear of the Clouds. The clouds cry for his death and the flow of their tears creates the river.

ANNOUNCING! Fulton's Fanfare! May 22nd!
Ahoy!
Please drop in at Hudson River Park on May 22nd to see a bewildering parade of ecological love! The parader will travel from the World Financial Center at Vesey St. north to Gansevoort Street at 14th St. between 1 and 6pm! Smack in the middle, at 2:50pm (give or take), we, The New York City Street Players, will be presenting our newest play!
Our piece, entitled Fulton's Fanfare, will be 5 minutes long and will re-enact the maiden voyage of The Clermont, Robert Fulton's steamship, which was the first ship to travel from New York City to Albany in 1807. Our "re-enactment" will have HORNS, FLAGS, DANCE, SONG, SMILES and CELEBRATION. We will thank the Hudson River for all that she has given the people of NYC.
PEACE
AHOY

Dear New York Citizens,
Above is a picture from Bread and Puppet. I was there summer 2009 and it rocked. Here are some more pictures from the farm in Glover, Vermont!
