As Time Goes By<\/i> Swing Band<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our music includes many well-known songs from the swing era during the days of famous band leaders like Benny Goodman, Harry James, and Glenn Miller, just to name a few. Our music library also includes well-known tunes from famous jazz bands of more recent years such as Count Basie, Stan Kenton, and Woody Herman. Our mission is to provide great sounding big band music of the swing and jazz eras for listening and dancing for a variety of occasions throughout southeastern Connecticut.<\/p>\n

“Golda’s Balcony” and “Picking Up Stones”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sandra Laub has performed William Gibson\u2019s Tony- award winning one woman play, “Golda\u2019s Balcony” since 2013, touring it around the country. But over the years, and especially in the past year, she has reconsidered Israel\u2019s founding narrative based on Golda Meir\u2019s statement (and other Zionists\u2019) that \u201cthere is no such thing as a Palestinian people.\u201d So she wrote another one woman show, called “Picking Up Stones: An American Jew\u2019s Moral Dilemma,” to dramatize another view of Israel based on her experience of being there the summer of the Gaza War, 2014. For this excerpt, she\u2019ll perform a 20 minute mashup of both plays – a dialogue between the performer, Sandra, and Golda Meir – an icon she profoundly admires, yet feels torn about. Sandra\u2019s new play, like Gibson\u2019s “Golda\u2019s Balcony,” asks the question: What is the price of idealism that becomes power?<\/p>\n
