Thr play made its debut in 1998 as a unique wedding present for Bob Martin and his bride, Janet Van De Graff. After a sold-out run at the 1999 Toronto Fringe Festival, the expanded “Chaperone” opened at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway in 2006. Playing to packed houses for 647 performances, the U.S. production earned solid accolades from New York critics and won five Tony awards, including the awards for best book of a musical and best original score. Act one begins with Man in Chair (David Talbot), a mousy, agoraphobic Broadway fanatic, listening to an old record of a classic 1928 musical comedy, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” By the time the first note sails out of his speakers, he’s been transported to a magical dream world, where the actors in the recording enter his dingy apartment and transform it into a set complete with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops and costumes that would put the Ice Ca- pades to shame. The show-within-a-show centers on Janet Van De Graff (Marisa McIntyre), a showgirl and star of “Feldzieg’s Follies,” giving up the stage to marry oil tycoon Robert Martin (Sean Ban Beaton). Janet’s producer, Feldzieg (Murray Furrow), receives pressure from two pun-happy gangsters in the employ of the chief investor of Feldzieg’s Follies disguised as pastry chefs to ensure that the wedding does not take place (Jacob James and Sean Robertson). To ensure this, he enlists the help of Aldolpho (Larry Herbert), an over-the-top Latin Lothario, to se- Carthage Steria's Welcomes You To The D&D Power Sports LLC STONY CREEK 4527 State Route 410 - Lowville 315-376-8013 www.ddracing.com COUNTY STORE Route 26 - Deer River 315-493-0750 Don't Forget To Check Us Out At The Watertown & Carthage Farmers Market Check Out Our Award Winning Soup! duce the bride. Meanwhile, Janet develops cold feet, and a massive misunderstanding emerges between her and Robert. What follows is a pastiche of every classic, clichéd plot thread ever to grace the stage. The production is directed by Kathryn MacKay. Shows are 8 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday and 2:30 p.m.Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

With four performances scheduled Thursday through Saturday, this whimsical revue of the close-harmony “guy groups” of the 1950s offers a light-hearted, highly entertaining kick off to a full season of diverse events. “Forever Plaid” made its off-Broadway debut in New York in 1990 and is now performed internationally. Steve Petrillose, Kevin Kitto, Dan Davis and Jim Goodenbery portray the quartet of high-school buddies whose dreams of recording an album end — symbolically and literally — when their cherry-red 1954 Mercury convertible collides with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls who are on their way to see the eatles’ American debut on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Tale of two shipwrecks will be told in Sackets SACKETS HARBOR — A re-enactor portraying War of 1812 sailor Ned Myers will tell his lively tale of the sinking of the Hamilton and the Scourge at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 16 at the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Discovery Center. The authentically costumed James H. Fischer will relate the story of the famous shipwrecks’ survivor in this presentation for the 2009 Great Lakes Seaway Trail Experience Series. Seaman Myers lived to tell his story to noted American author James Fenimore Cooper. Mr. Fischer, a marine consultant who has studied the underwater history of Lake Ontario for 22 years, draws on Mr. Myers’s narrative as told to Mr. Cooper for “A Life Before the Mast.” Mr. Fischer tells details of the moments before a squall surprised captain and crew. The wrecks of the two merchant ships — the Hamilton, built as Diana in Oswego, and the Scourge, originally Lord Nelson — were discovered in 1973 and are considered to have national historic significance to both the U.S. and Canada. Mr. Fischer’s presentation will also include a series of Jacques Cousteau slides of lake bottom vessels. “This presentation of the sinking of the Hamilton and the Scourge is one of many exciting maritime heritage experiences to be found on the Great Lakes Seaway Trail. We invite history enthusiasts to explore the 518-mile freshwater shoreline of New York and Pennsylvania and dive into our rich water-based history,” said Great Lakes Seaway Trail President and CEO Teresa Mitchell. The $5 program fee benefits educational programming at the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Discovery Center, Ray and West Main streets. For more information, visit www.seawaytrail.com or call 646-1000.

The next issue will be July 1. New environmental festival debuts in Syracuse next month SYRACUSE — Central New York’s first multi-day, family-friendly environmental festival will take place in Hanover Square and City Hall Commons Court on July 23 and 24. The Blue Rain Ecofest will be the fourth major component of Syracuse Artsweek, the “festival of festivals” that includes the Jazz in the Square Festival, the Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival and a public art walk. Interested parties should call 479-5299 for information. Prime exhibiting locations in Hanover Square and City Hall Commons Court are limited, and a wideranging, diverse collection of vendors will be chosen. A production of CNY Jazz Central with cooperation and support from the Center of Excellence, National Grid, the Downtown Committee, the city of Syracuse and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, the event is the product of research dating back to early 2008. “With help from key members of my board of directors, a green plan for Jazz in the Square was devised, but formulated a bit too late to attract sponsorship,” said Larry Luttinger, director of CNY Jazz Central. “We continued to develop the idea, and found that there were no large eco-events in upstate New York that were directed at families, just business-to-business and scientific conferences. We heard first-hand testimony that individuals were asking how to attend these conferences, and in some cas- es showing up and crashing them. There were no significant public green festivals in the country being produced in the Northeast closer than Washington, D.C.” The two-day event features vendors and exhibitors showing products and techniques designed to raise awareness of how every family can lead a more ecologically efficient lifestyle and in many cases save money as well. One exhibit, organized by Cuse Car, is a display line of various fuelefficient and alternative-fuel vehicles that will be available for test drives. There will be plenty of entertainment as well, on stage in Hanover Square. On Friday and Saturday evenings an eclectic lineup of bands will appear from 5 until 10 p.m. on the Bull and Bear Stage and appear later in the evening in the Bull and Bear. Dance troupes and clubs will be performing, demonstrating and teaching in Hanover Square during the day Saturday. Organic foods and beverages will be available. A complete schedule of events and activities will be announced soon, and the Web site www.bluerainecofest.org is being designed. The CNY Jazz Arts Foundation is the primary provider of jazz programming in concert, cabaret and scholastic settings for the extended Central New York region, presenting over 150 events in public, in schools and at Jazz Central, the country’s second-largest jazz arts and education center.

About two dozen national acts will be perform at Chevy Court, which is free for all fairgoers. Last year, 11 national acts — fewer than half of what is planned for 2009 — played the venue. All Chevy Court concerts are included in the price of Fair admission. Tickets to the fair — $6 in advance, $10 at the gate — will not be increased for 2009. “In these difficult times, families need to make sure they get the best value possible for every dollar they spend,” state fair Director Dan O’Hara said. “Gov. Paterson recognizes this and has urged families to vacation close to home, at affordable destinations in New York State. Our new Chevy Court format supports his initiative. As the state’s largest annual event, we feel an obligation to make the Fair as attractive and affordable as possible.” Ms. Evans will sing on Thursday, Aug. 27; the Four Tops will play on Monday, Aug. 31; and Switchfoot on Friday, Sept. 4. All three acts will play at 8 p.m. on Chevy Court, with a different national artist performing at 2 p.m. on the same stage. In the past, the same artist performed two concerts on Chevy Court, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Earlier this year, the fair management decided to reduce the number of paid concerts at the grandstand from 11 to seven and dedicated more resources to hiring performers for Chevy Court. The fair hired Triangle Talent, a Kentucky firm that specializes in state fairs, to book performers for both venues. “By shifting our resources like this, we can ensure the highest quality entertainment possible at both Chevy Court and the Mohegan Sun Grandstand,” Mr. O’Hara said. Country music superstar Kenny Chesney, whose previous two concerts at the fair broke successive attendance records, will perform Friday, Aug. 28. “We asked ourselves how many families were likely to be able to afford multiple grandstand concerts this summer. We looked at the economic forecasts and decided that — regardless of the quality of Switchfoot, a California-based alternative rock band known for its energetic live performances, is scheduled Sept. 4 at the New York State Fair. Sara Evans, a traditional-style country singer and songwriter who has become one of the most popular women in country music, will perform Aug. 27 at the state fair’s Chevy Court. ON THE NET: www.nysfair.org the acts we booked — the market was not likely to be there,” Mr. O’Hara said. “By refocusing some of our money and energy to Chevy Court, we believe we’ll be able to give many more people an opportunity to enjoy a memorable, top-flight performance. We’ll be able to tailor acts to please seniors and offer entertainment for children while making sure Chevy Court is alive with the kind of music that will draw people in the evening.” The expanded format at Chevy Court will allow the fair to offer a more diversified lineup of entertainment. The afternoon concerts will tend to be aimed more at seniors and families. The evenings will feature adult-oriented performances from a wide range of genres. The first three announced performers, for example, are aimed at fans of Motown-era rhythm and blues, progressive rock, and strong female country vocalists. The Four Tops helped define the popular Motown sound of the 1960s. The quartet has been performing for 56 years and did not have a change of personnel until 1997. The group scored a long list of popular hits during its first decades, including “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” “Reach Out, I’ll Be There,” “Baby, Featured Aug. 31 will be the legendary Four Tops, who helped define the popular Motown sound of the 1960s and performed without a change of personnel until 1997. I Need Your Loving,” “It’s The Same Old Song,” “Standing in the Shadows of Love,” “Bernadette,” “Keeper of the Castle,” “Ain’t No Woman Like the One I’ve Got,” “Are You Man Enough,” “Sweet Understanding Love,” “When She Was My Girl” and more. Sarah Evans is a traditional-style country singer and songwriter who has become one of the most popular women in country music. Ms. Evans was named Female Vocalist of the Year in 2006 at the Academy of Country Music Awards. She has had many top 10 country hits, several platinum-certified albums, and a resume that includes the songs “No Place That Far,” “Born to Fly,” “I Could Not Ask For More,” “I Keep Looking” and “Suds In a Bucket." She was a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2006. Switchfoot is a California-based alternative rock band known for its energetic live performances. Two of its most widely known songs, “Meant to Live” and “Dare You to Move,” topped popular music charts, and its 2003 album, “The Beautiful Letdown” sold 2.6 million copies, going double platinum. The band, named for a surfing term, has been part of the Christian rock scene and has been involved in many humanitarian causes. Several of their songs were used in the soundtrack of the 2002 romance movie “A Walk to Remember,” starring Mandy Moore. The Chevy Court lineup also includes Eric Church and Chuck Wicks, two of country music’s hottest rising stars, and the legendary Oak Ridge Boys, one of the most popular and long-lasting groups in country music. Eric Church, a popular singer-songwriter whose two albums have had major runs on the country music charts, will play on Chevy Court at 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, when Switchfoot plays the 8 p.m. show. The 2009 fair will run from Aug. 27 to Sept. 7. WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES N SUMMER FUN Zwanzigstein Fest slated for July 4 EVENT NEAR CROGHAN: Heritage Association marks 20th anniversary S CROGHAN — The Adirondack Mennonite Heritage Association, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, will hold its 19th annual Zwanzigstein (20 stones) Fest from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 4, at the Heritage Farmstead on the north branch of Erie Canal Road outside Croghan.

Chairman Robert Lloyd said the show frequently has around 80 vessels. Cruisers, yachts, runabouts, utilities, launches, race boats, canoes, skiffs and more will be evaluated by teams of judges for originality and overall condition. Although some pristine boats are placed in the the show, the judges encourage entries of older boats that are still used by their owners but carefully maintained. The judges have developed a system whereby these well-maintained, used boats can compete for high scores and awards along with boats that are primarily “show boats.” In addition to the judges’ scoring, visitors are provided with ballots. Their decision determines the winner of the popular People’s Choice Award. Also among the special awards each year is the prestigious Renaissance Cup. This trophy is given to a well preserved boat that for many years has been an important part of the Thousand Islands culture. This award is sponsored by Dr. Sandy Gregory and is highly prized by local boat owners. The annual winner is determined by a special committee. The Alexandria Bay Vintage Boat Show has been designated by the International Antique and Classic Boat Society as an official event with the judges using the society’s criteria to determine the winners in each category. Boat show activities begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, July 17, at the Boldt Castle Yacht House on Wellesley Island, where a kickoff party will be held by the Thousand Islands chapter of ACBS. Tickets to the party are available in advance for $15 per person with the boat show registration Form (no later than July 10) and at $20 per person at the door, where refreshments and light food will be served. On Saturday, July 18, the boats will be at the upper village dock in downtown Alexandria Bay. The show will open for public viewing at 9 a.m. and will remain open until 3:30 p.m. At 3:30 the boats will prepare to leave the dock to form a parade. The route will go past the park on Casino Island, to River See DPAO page 23 See BOAT page 23 Gary Puckett disbanded the Union Gap in 1971 but he continues to tour nationally and internationally.
