The event at 7:30 p.m. Saturday will be a folk-pop concert by Great Lake Swimmers. accompanied by a visual presentation by the bestselling author and photographer, Ian Coristine. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at the opera house box office, by calling 686-2200, or online at ClaytonOperaHouse.com. Great Lakes Swimmers is a Torontobased band led by vocalist and songwriter Tony Dekker. Mr. Dekker frequently chooses to record in rural locations, which for the most recent album, “Lost Channels,” meant the Thousand Islands region. Ian Coristine, regional historian and local photographer, invited GLS to record in the Thousand Islands, helping them gain access to record in unique acoustic environments like Singer Castle on Dark Island. Ian Coristine is well known for his aerial photography of the Thousand Islands. He’s published five books of such photography, the latest being “The Very Best of Ian Coristine’s 1000 Islands,” which will be dis- Schermerhorn Landing • 9 Miles North of Alexandria Bay off Rt. 12 • (315) 324-5966 SHUTTLE TO GAS • DOCKAGE • STORAGE • GROCERY • MARINE SUPPLIES LE COTTAGE & BOAT RENTALS AVAILABLE SINGER CAST CKS O D R FROM OU Great Lake Swimmers, a Toronto-based folk-pop band led by Tony Dekker, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Clayton Opera House.

He discovered his love of the Thousand Islands while flying his Challenger and began taking photographs from his plane. After buying one of the Thousand Islands and successfully publishing five books, he began collaborating with Great Lake Swimmers on their album “Lost Channels.” According to Mr. Dekker, this specially- created music “was meant as a complement to Ian’s photographs and his unique perspective of the Thousand Islands area.” While the band plays, the photos that Dekker refers to will be shown on a slide show to tie in with the music for the full artistic effect that anyone can appreciate, especially those who identify with the Thousand Islands. Though Great Lake Swimmers are able to fill large halls, the Clayton Opera House provides a small, personal setting. Mr. Dekker said, “In some ways I think our music is best represented in small, intimate venues, especially if there is a historical rel- evance there. I find that there's a greater connection with the audience, and we really see these kinds of concerts as special events. There's an intangible quality about playing in these settings that we are really thrilled by as musicians.” Upcoming events at the opera house include the Orchestra of Northern New York performing at 7:30 p.m. July 1, presented by TIPAF and sponsored by the Northern NY Community Foundation. On July 3, the Rock-For-The-River concert will be held by Save the River beginning at 7 p.m. Senior voice students open Sunday Series CLAYTON — This season’s Clayton Opera House Sunday Series opens this Sunday with a performance by Watertown music teacher Ticia Marra’s senior vocal studio.

Slightly more than a year after launching the group, Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek were bonafide superstars. America’s albums — six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, “History,” hitting four million in sales — displayed a fuller range of the trio’s talents than did their singles. Little River Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975. Fueled by a very successful Australian hit single, “Curiosity Killed The Cat,” the band began making promotional visits to the U.S. in 1976. This resulted in a U.S. hit single, “It’s A Long Way There,” which broke into the top 30. More concert performances in the U.S. followed, and in 1977 “Help Is On Its Way” (an Australian number one single) and “Happy Anniversary” both narrowly missed the U.S. top 10. In 1981 their single “Night Owls” debut in the U.S. Top 10.

In “Blood Brothers,” as in his plays “Educating Rita” and “Shirley Valentine,” Mr. Russell uses the economic inequality in England as a backdrop and catalyst for the journeys of his characters. It tells the story of a working class mother of six, Mrs Johnstone, pregnant yet again and abandoned by her husband. When she learns that she is carrying twins, Mrs. Johnstone faces the possibility of losing her children to social services. She strikes a reluctant bargain with her childless employer, Mrs. Lyons, to give her one of the babies and never reveal the truth. Ironically, as if drawn to one another by forces larger than geography, economics or superstition, the boys meet. Despite the differences in their background, they become best friends, fall in love with the same girl, and remain united until the secret of their birth right is revealed, with tragic results. At the heart of the story is the compelling figure of Mrs. Johnstone, played in this production by Kristin Galer. Ms Galer was recently seen as Rosie in the Toronto production of “The Lord of the Rings.” As FOR MORE INFORMATION Thousand Islands Playhouse Website: 1000islandsplayhouse.com Box Office phone: 1 (866) 382-7020 or 1 (613) 382-7020 Terry Tweed plays Jean, a feisty senior citizen, in ‘Another Home Invasion’ at the Thousand Islands Playhouse’s Fireside Theatre in Gananaoque, Ontario. the dark and prophetic Narrator, the Playhouse welcomes Kyle Dadd, a former member of the renowned Reduced Shakespeare Company. Daniel Falk and Graham Parkhurst fill the roles of the winning but doomed twins Mickey and Edward. We meet these characters as 7-yearolds, again during their adolescence and finally as young adults. Laura McCarthy appears as the fiery Linda, the boys’ common love interest. The ensemble also includes Laura Burns, Wendy Fox (two past members of the Playhouse Young Company), Joey Frohlinger, Seanna Kennedy, Adrian Proszowski, Peter Van Wart and Marlene Handrahan as Mrs. Lyons. The production is directed by Greg Wanless with musical direction by Sandy Thorburn. “Blood Brothers” performances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $32 general admission, $30 for seniors 65 and older, $25 for people under 30 and $16 for students and children. The Playhouse’s season at the Firehall Theatre, 185 South St., began Tuesday with a preview of the Tarragon Theatre production of “Another Home Invasion” by Joan MacLeod. Terry Tweed is directed by Richard Rose in this subtle and moving one-woman show about an aging couple’s quest to remain together as they move into a nursing home in Vancouver. In “Another Home Invasion,” Ms. MacLeod gives voice to a seldom dramatized subject: the indignity with which we treat our elderly. Feisty Jean (Terry Tweed) struggles to find a home for the aged where she and her husband can finish their days in dignity. Conscious that she has waited too long, Jean hides her husband’s growing dementia from the selection board, while getting little support from her grown children. Joan MacLeod is one of Canada’s foremost playwrights, the recipient of two Chalmers Canadian Play Awards and Canada’s highest literary honor, the Governor General’s Award. The production is directed by Richard Rose, with a sets designed by Scott Reid, costumes by Jennifer Darbellay, lighting by David Fraser and stage management by Robert Harding. “Another Home Invasion” opens today and closes July 17.

The play was written by an actor/playwright as a vehicle for himself in a clearly theatrical piece with its primary goals being satire, comedy and entertainment.” The cast includes Jason Amrhein, Kim Andresen, Harrison Ewing, Jordan Hornstein, Chris McGovern, Donna Moschek, Brandon Patterson, Clare Paulson and Fran Yardley. Opening July 27 for a limited run, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.” Anita Montgomery comes from Seattle to Saranac Lake to direct Pendragon co-founders Susan Neal and Bob Pettee, Donna Moschek and Tyler Nye in Edward Albee’s masterful dark comedy.

MM SYRACUSE — Lady Antebellum, the hottest group in American country music, will perform a free concert at the New York State Fair’s Chevy Court this summer, anchoring a lineup designed to make the fair one of the top free entertainment venues in the country. The band, which took home five trophies from the Academy of Country Music Awards, topping all winners, will play at 8 p.m. Sept. 1. Also scheduled to play Chevy Court during the 2010 fair are the classic rock bands Kansas and Blue Öyster Cult, rising country star the Eli Young Band, and Blues Traveler. The five concerts will be among 24 performances by national artists on the Chevy Court stage during this year’s fair. All of those shows will be free to fairgoers for the price of fair admission. “We want to make this the best free stage in the United States,” fair Director Dan O’Hara said. “We recognize that many people are still struggling financially, and we think New York families deserve an affordable opportunity to hear top-quality live music. Lady Antebellum could headline at nearly any venue in the country. We are proud to be able to make them available — for free — right here at the New York State Fair.” Lady Antebellum recently was named top vocal group of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Nashville. The trio also won song of the year and single record of the year, each as artists and producers, for “Need You Now,” a hit that spent five weeks as the No. 1 song on Billboard Magazine’s country music chart last year, and is now crossing over to pop radio, landing on top 40 stations across the country. The band debuted in 2008 with a self-titled album that went multi-platinum and earned the musicians recognition as top and sole of a volatile marriage during a searing night of dangerous fun and games. Two plays from Fall 2009 and Winter 2010 will return as a part of the summer repertory. “Moby Dick Rehearsed” opened in November and toured schools and arts centers throughout the region in January and February. The first summer performances are July 2 and 3. “Orson Welles’ adaptation of Herman Melville’s epic mythical novel, brings the fateful voyage of the Pequod to life using the power of acting and imaginative theatrics,” director Karen Kirkham said. “‘Moby Dick Rehearsed’ is a thrilling sailor’s yarn about a perilous, unforgettable adventure at sea.” Returning after a successful run in February at The Lake Placid Center for the Arts, the popular “Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged” features Stu Ruttan, Matt Sorensen and Bryce Stanton. Bonnie Brewer directs. The first summer performances are July 9 and 10. “The Jungle Book,” adapted by Monica Flory from the Rudyard Kipling stories, opened to a sold-out crowd on Mother’s Day. “I read ‘Jungle Book’ a couple of years ago and was struck by what a great adventure story it tells,” director Kent Streed said. “There are chases, fights, stampedes, JULY July 10 - 11 42nd Annual French Festival July 10 Fireworks at Dusk July 18 Tibbetts Point 5K-10K Run Register at Recreation Park or Chamber Office AUGUST Cape Vincent 1000 Islands Where Lake & River Meet The Gateway to the 1000 Islands and the beautiful St. Lawrence River.

The play was written by an actor/playwright as a vehicle for himself in a clearly theatrical piece with its primary goals being satire, comedy and entertainment.” The cast includes Jason Amrhein, Kim Andresen, Harrison Ewing, Jordan Hornstein, Chris McGovern, Donna Moschek, Brandon Patterson, Clare Paulson and Fran Yardley. Opening July 27 for a limited run, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.” Anita Montgomery comes from Seattle to Saranac Lake to direct Pendragon co-founders Susan Neal and Bob Pettee, Donna Moschek and Tyler Nye in Edward Albee’s masterful dark comedy.

In “Blood Brothers,” as in his plays “Educating Rita” and “Shirley Valentine,” Mr. Russell uses the economic inequality in England as a backdrop and catalyst for the journeys of his characters. It tells the story of a working class mother of six, Mrs Johnstone, pregnant yet again and abandoned by her husband. When she learns that she is carrying twins, Mrs. Johnstone faces the possibility of losing her children to social services. She strikes a reluctant bargain with her childless employer, Mrs. Lyons, to give her one of the babies and never reveal the truth. Ironically, as if drawn to one another by forces larger than geography, economics or superstition, the boys meet. Despite the differences in their background, they become best friends, fall in love with the same girl, and remain united until the secret of their birth right is revealed, with tragic results. At the heart of the story is the compelling figure of Mrs. Johnstone, played in this production by Kristin Galer. Ms Galer was recently seen as Rosie in the Toronto production of “The Lord of the Rings.” As FOR MORE INFORMATION Thousand Islands Playhouse Website: 1000islandsplayhouse.com Box Office phone: 1 (866) 382-7020 or 1 (613) 382-7020 Terry Tweed plays Jean, a feisty senior citizen, in ‘Another Home Invasion’ at the Thousand Islands Playhouse’s Fireside Theatre in Gananaoque, Ontario. the dark and prophetic Narrator, the Playhouse welcomes Kyle Dadd, a former member of the renowned Reduced Shakespeare Company. Daniel Falk and Graham Parkhurst fill the roles of the winning but doomed twins Mickey and Edward. We meet these characters as 7-yearolds, again during their adolescence and finally as young adults. Laura McCarthy appears as the fiery Linda, the boys’ common love interest. The ensemble also includes Laura Burns, Wendy Fox (two past members of the Playhouse Young Company), Joey Frohlinger, Seanna Kennedy, Adrian Proszowski, Peter Van Wart and Marlene Handrahan as Mrs. Lyons. The production is directed by Greg Wanless with musical direction by Sandy Thorburn. “Blood Brothers” performances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $32 general admission, $30 for seniors 65 and older, $25 for people under 30 and $16 for students and children. The Playhouse’s season at the Firehall Theatre, 185 South St., began Tuesday with a preview of the Tarragon Theatre production of “Another Home Invasion” by Joan MacLeod. Terry Tweed is directed by Richard Rose in this subtle and moving one-woman show about an aging couple’s quest to remain together as they move into a nursing home in Vancouver. In “Another Home Invasion,” Ms. MacLeod gives voice to a seldom dramatized subject: the indignity with which we treat our elderly. Feisty Jean (Terry Tweed) struggles to find a home for the aged where she and her husband can finish their days in dignity. Conscious that she has waited too long, Jean hides her husband’s growing dementia from the selection board, while getting little support from her grown children. Joan MacLeod is one of Canada’s foremost playwrights, the recipient of two Chalmers Canadian Play Awards and Canada’s highest literary honor, the Governor General’s Award. The production is directed by Richard Rose, with a sets designed by Scott Reid, costumes by Jennifer Darbellay, lighting by David Fraser and stage management by Robert Harding. “Another Home Invasion” opens today and closes July 17.

Phone: 782-0044 or 1 (800) 533-2859 Web: www.dpao.org The band was discovered by the world in 1972 with the success of the song “A Horse With No Name,” which paved the way for a string of other hits including “I Need You,” “Ventura Highway,” “Don’t Cross The River,” “Tin Man,” “Lonely People,” and “Sister Golden Hair,” all staples of 1970s Top 40 and FM rock radio. Slightly more than a year after launching the group, Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek were bonafide superstars. America’s albums — six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, “History,” hitting four million in sales — displayed a fuller range of the trio’s talents than did their singles. Little River Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975. Fueled by a very successful Australian hit single, “Curiosity Killed The Cat,” the band began making promotional visits to the U.S. in 1976. This resulted in a U.S. hit single, “It’s A Long Way There,” which broke into the top 30. More concert performances in the U.S. followed, and in 1977 “Help Is On Its Way” (an Australian number one single) and “Happy Anniversary” both narrowly missed the U.S. top 10. In 1981 their single “Night Owls” debut in the U.S. Top 10. Other hits included “The Other Guy,” “We Two” and “You’re Driving Me Out Of My Mind.” Little River Band has performed over 350 live shows over the past few years and has been very busy recording new CDs. Little River Band was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame at the 18th Annual ARIA Music Awards in 2004.

The event at 7:30 p.m. Saturday will be a folk-pop concert by Great Lake Swimmers. accompanied by a visual presentation by the bestselling author and photographer, Ian Coristine. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at the opera house box office, by calling 686-2200, or online at ClaytonOperaHouse.com. Great Lakes Swimmers is a Torontobased band led by vocalist and songwriter Tony Dekker. Mr. Dekker frequently chooses to record in rural locations, which for the most recent album, “Lost Channels,” meant the Thousand Islands region. Ian Coristine, regional historian and local photographer, invited GLS to record in the Thousand Islands, helping them gain access to record in unique acoustic environments like Singer Castle on Dark Island. Ian Coristine is well known for his aerial photography of the Thousand Islands. He’s published five books of such photography, the latest being “The Very Best of Ian Coristine’s 1000 Islands,” which will be dis- Schermerhorn Landing • 9 Miles North of Alexandria Bay off Rt. 12 • (315) 324-5966 SHUTTLE TO GAS • DOCKAGE • STORAGE • GROCERY • MARINE SUPPLIES LE COTTAGE & BOAT RENTALS AVAILABLE SINGER CAST CKS O D R FROM OU Great Lake Swimmers, a Toronto-based folk-pop band led by Tony Dekker, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Clayton Opera House.

He discovered his love of the Thousand Islands while flying his Challenger and began taking photographs from his plane. After buying one of the Thousand Islands and successfully publishing five books, he began collaborating with Great Lake Swimmers on their album “Lost Channels.” According to Mr. Dekker, this specially- created music “was meant as a complement to Ian’s photographs and his unique perspective of the Thousand Islands area.” While the band plays, the photos that Dekker refers to will be shown on a slide show to tie in with the music for the full artistic effect that anyone can appreciate, especially those who identify with the Thousand Islands. Though Great Lake Swimmers are able to fill large halls, the Clayton Opera House provides a small, personal setting. Mr. Dekker said, “In some ways I think our music is best represented in small, intimate venues, especially if there is a historical rel- evance there. I find that there's a greater connection with the audience, and we really see these kinds of concerts as special events. There's an intangible quality about playing in these settings that we are really thrilled by as musicians.” Upcoming events at the opera house include the Orchestra of Northern New York performing at 7:30 p.m. July 1, presented by TIPAF and sponsored by the Northern NY Community Foundation. On July 3, the Rock-For-The-River concert will be held by Save the River beginning at 7 p.m. Senior voice students open Sunday Series CLAYTON — This season’s Clayton Opera House Sunday Series opens this Sunday with a performance by Watertown music teacher Ticia Marra’s senior vocal studio.
