i told @adriannafrench about momotaro while they were watching a replay of the sky blue game tonight

so here’s the Saga of Peach Mangohand

[theheartoftv]

Newly single and unemployed after losing a waitressing job just before Christmas, responsible Brooke Bennett (Lacey Chabert) is convinced by her impetuous sister Margot (Ali Hardiman) to go on a holiday adventure. They decide to fulfill their father’s lifelong wish and travel to Ireland in search of their Irish roots. When they arrive, Brooke meets Aiden Hart in the local pub and soon discovers that he’s, in fact, the Earl of Glaslough (Stuart Townsend). Having recently returned after years abroad for his job as an architect, Aiden does not receive a warm welcome home from his sister, Siobhan (Aoife Spratt), who has been managing the financially troubled Castle Hart in his absence. Less than two weeks before the castle is set to host the social event of the season, the person planning the event drops out and Siobhan is desperate to hire someone to take over. Believing Brooke and Margot to be high-profile New York City event planners, Aiden makes introductions and they are hired to take over the prestigious evening. The trouble is that Margot has misled Siobhan and Aiden into believing that Brooke is Paige Monahan (Donna Anita Nikolaisen) – the very person who just fired them. As Brooke works closely with Aiden on the event, she begins to fall for him, but knows that once he learns the truth, she might lose him forever.

LACEY CHABERT AND STUART TOWNSEND HOST A ROYAL GALA IN ‘CHRISTMAS AT CASTLE HART,’ A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING NOVEMBER 27, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Part of the Network’s “Countdown to Christmas” Programming Event. 

Filmed Entirely on Location in Ireland.

STUDIO CITY, CA – November 16 – Lacey Chabert (“Sweet Carolina,” Mean Girls) and Stuart Townsend (“Credit1,” “Credit2”) star in “Christmas at Castle Hart,” a new, original movie premiering Saturday, November 27 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel, as part of the network’s “Countdown to Christmas” programming event – your home for the holiday. Filmed entirely on location in Ireland.

Newly single and unemployed after losing a waitressing job just before Christmas, responsible Brooke Bennett (Chabert) is convinced by her impetuous sister Margot (Ali Hardiman, “Blasts from the Past”) to go on a holiday adventure. They decide to fulfill their father’s lifelong wish and travel to Ireland in search of their Irish roots. When they arrive, Brooke meets Aiden Hart in the local pub and soon discovers that he’s, in fact, the Earl of Glaslough (Townsend). Having recently returned after years abroad for his job as an architect, Aiden does not receive a warm welcome home from his sister, Siobhan (Aoife Spratt, “Locus of Control”), who has been managing the financially troubled Castle Hart in his absence. Less than two weeks before the castle is set to host the social event of the season, the person planning the event drops out and Siobhan is desperate to hire someone to take over. Believing Brooke and Margot to be high- profile New York City event planners, Aiden makes introductions and they are hired to take over the prestigious evening. The trouble is that Margot has misled Siobhan and Aiden into believing that Brooke is Paige Monahan (Donna Anita Nikolaisen, “Fair City”) – the very person who just fired them. As Brooke works closely with Aiden on the event, she begins to fall for him, but knows that once he learns the truth, she might lose him forever.

“Christmas at Castle Hart” is from Leif Films Media Inc. and Merlin Films. Leif Bristow and Kieran Corrigan are executive producers. Agnes Bristow and Borga Dorter are producers. Stefan Scaini directed from a script by Paul Campbell and Rick Garman from a story by Bonnie Fairweather.

Tasteful Nudes Innuendo # LOVESONA RSVP HERE ••• February 22nd from 7-10pm at Light Grey Art Lab Free and open to the public Prepare your senses, and your heart, for a steamy collection of the suggestively quirky and the salaciously spicy. Like a sip of red wine on satin sheets, Light Grey Art Lab’s February exhibition promises to be a perfect event for a romantic rendezvous or self-love celebration. Concepts of love, the body, and art have always coexisted - with great emotion comes great art, and naturally, creators frequently work to find unique ways to express these complex and beautiful facets of being a human. The 3 new collections opening this February at Light Grey Art Lab feature an eclectic range of original illustrative works and artist produced goods, featuring the aesthetics of the figure, the humor of taboo, and a collection of illustrated dating profiles. Tasteful Nudes: The delicate curves of a body emerge through the settling dust of chalk pastel. The artist peers over their drawing board at a trusted model, reclining elegantly on their vintage lounge sofa. Their masterpiece is complete… An exploration capturing the inherent beauty of the human form. The Tasteful Nudes Exhibition includes 50+ creatives and is a celebration of the sensual, the subtle, and the sensory aspects of the human form. From sexy self-portraits and boudoir-esque paintings, to romantic reclining poses, to suggestive silhouettes, 'Tasteful' is the key word! Works include original drawings, digital illustrations, and more. Innuendo: It’s 7th period in high school, you’re in health class, and the teacher brings out the inevitable props… A banana, a donut, and all sorts of properly conservative allusions to the body. The class snickers, and for the rest of the day, innuendos are passed from friend to friend under the probing ears of the teachers. Innuendo is a collaborative exhibition of artwork and goods featuring playful allusions to the lewd and salacious. The 80 featured artists have come together for Light Grey Art Lab’s yearly swap event, in which each artist creates enough of their chosen artwork or object to share with their fellow exhibitors. Participants have created a range of limited edition art objects including pins, postcards, stickers, zines, patches and more that dance around taboo subjects with humorous imagery. Limited quantities of each item will also be available during the opening reception and on Light Grey Art Lab’s online store. # LOVESONA: Are you a creative, looking to get out of the studio and into the Dating Sphere? Do you have a creative friend who would be a perfect partner, and you want to let the world know? Introducing # Lovesona! This February, we want to put a spotlight on the beautiful and unique singles that make up the creative community. Creatives have a unique way of looking at the world and themselves, and we want to celebrate what makes them great partners. Participants in the # Lovesona project draw a portrait of themselves or a creative friend, write a bio about their/their friends’ deepest passions and interests, and then post it with the hashtag # lovesona! Along with these profiles, we’ll also be creating interactive content and activities on the Lovesona instagram, to help people dive deeper into what makes their Lovesona unique. Throughout the month of February, Light Grey will be reposting these profiles on our @my.lovesona instagram, where we hope people will connect and, who knows, maybe even fall in love...

James Earl Jones in 1974 King Lear

Christopher Fitzgerald and Bill Irwin in In-Zoom

Gospel choir member in Antigone in Ferguson

Elaine Paige in CATS

Among the avalanche of streaming options this weekend are a timely Beckett play and the rich theater offerings of an arts “marathon” —  both “opening” today — that count as must-see theater in my book. Two plays are opening Sunday that you could and should see (especially if they’re new to you). And then I list another ten still running that are worth catching before the end of their “runs.”  Unlike live theater on stage, some of this online theater you can see right on this page.

These recommendations are by no means all that’s available this weekend. For more listings check out my Calendar of May 2020 Theater Openings. and my overview of ongoing series and platforms, Where To Get Your Theater Fix Online

Must-see theater opening Saturday

Brooke Adams in Happy Days when it was on stage Off-Broadway

Happy Days Plays in the House Brooke Adams and (her husband) Tony Shalhoub will read Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days (I loved the production of this absurdist play in which they starred; my review.) This absurdist play about a woman trapped in sand somehow feels an exact metaphor for this moment, and since it’s basically a monologue, it may well translate well on the Zoom platform that the program Stars in the House uses.

  All Arts Marathon The All Arts Celebration of New York City (cultural) Institutions includes a healthy dose of theater — episodes on The Shed, Heather Christian’s concert-cabaret, Animal Wisdom filmed at The Bushwick Starr, the 1974 Shakespeare in the Park production of King Lear with James Earl Jones, Raul Julia, Rosalind Cash, Paul Sorvino, et al; Pascale Armand’s new work entitled “$#!THOLE COUNTRY CLAPBACK” (chronicling her family’s journey from Haiti) as part of En Garde Arts Uncommon Voices series, and Antigone in Ferguson, the production at Harlem Stage of Theater of War’s adaptation of Sophocles tragedy (featuring Samira Wiley, Chris Noth and Tamara Tunie and a rousing gospel choir.) (I’ve written extensively about Antigone in Ferguson) Some of these are documentaries that incorporate the theater rather than uninterrupted screen-captures of the dramas.

  Could-see theater opening Sunday

School Girls, or the African Mean Girls Play

The title of Jocelyn Bioh’s play that debuted Off-Broadway in 2017 (my review) is is almost longer than its running time. It was inspired by a true story. Pageant officials in Ghana maneuvered for an American-born Ghanian beauty queen of mixed race to represent the West African country in the Miss Universe pageant of 2011, reasoning that her lighter complexion would give her a better chance in the contest.

I And You Plays in the House Jr. A reading of the play by Lauren Gunderson, starring Andrew Barth Feldman (Dear Evan Hansen).  Q&A with the playwright after. Debut of “Plays in the House Jr.” Readings of plays for young people performed by young people, every Sunday from now on at 2 p.m. (My review of an Off-Broadway production of “I and You”)

Still Running, Worth Seeing

Clockwise from top left: Jay O. Sanders, Maryann Plunkett, Sally Murphy, Laila Robins, and Stephen Kunken in the livestreamed world premiere of the Apple Family Play, What Do We Need To Talk About?, written and directed by Richard Nelson.

“What Do We Need To Talk About?”

This tops the list on purpose . Streamed live on April 29 but available once again on YouTube, this is the fifth play by Richard Nelson about the Apple Family, a brother and three sisters in Rhinebeck, New York, and the first one specifically written for Zoom. It is beautiful and sad, funny and moving, terrifically acted, and perfectly timed – a precise reflection of our sudden new era.

Barber Shop Chronicles National Theatre At Home This play by Inua Ellams of the importance of barber shops to African men by presenting scenes from them in Peckham, Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos and Accra over the course of a single day. Online free through May 21

Bill Irwin’s In-Zoom San Diego’s Old Globe The master clown presents his new 10-minute play in which he and Christopher Fitzgerald portray two fellows attempting to record inspirational messages with tragicomic results.Free on the Old Globe’s Youtube channel available through Sunday.

CATS The Shows Must Go On The film of the 1998 stage production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, starring Elaine Paige and Sir John Mills. Available through Sunday afternoon.

COVID and Incarceration 24 Hour Plays This special edition of Viral Monologues offers 15 newly created plays about the prison system.  Of particular note are the plays by Lynn Nottage, Shakira Senghor and Lemon Anderson)

The Encounter St. Ann’s Warehouse A revival of the audio-heavy one-man play by Simon McBurney that tells the eerie true story of National Geographic photographer Loren McIntyre’s encounter with the elusive Mayoruna tribe while lost in the Amazon rainforest. The show had a run on Broadway in 2016. (My review) It will be presented through May 22.

Frankie and Will (MCC) This is a play for the ages – specifically two ages, our own and 1606 in England. In both eras, pandemics (the Black Plague; COVID-19) have shut down the theaters, leaving people, including theater people, stuck in their homes. In this 25-minute play, Talene Monahan whimsically imagines William Shakespeare (portrayed by Michael Urie, who’s rapidly becoming the go-to pandemic period performer) as trapped in quarantine with his unpaid apprentice Francis (Ryan Spahn)

Love, Loss and What I Wore (92y)

Times have changed since Rosie O’Donnell, Carol Kane and three other actresses gave a one-night only reading in 2017 of Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron’s popular play at the 92nd Street Y. The Y recorded the evening, and is now presenting it nightly on its website through May 25th as a fundraiser. But if we have been thrust suddenly into a radically different era, the resurrection of this decade-old play about women and fashion turns out to be a surprisingly good fit

Pipeline BroadwayHD In its second collaboration with BroadwayHD, Lincoln Center presents Dominique Morisseau’s “Pipeline,” a play about a schoolteacher (Karen Pittman) whose son (Namir Smallwood) got into a scuffle with a teacher at his boarding school and is in danger of being expelled, and arrested. As I wrote in my review in 2017, Morisseau masterfully upends the tired assumptions that might attach to such a drama, in a play that is not just smart and engaging; it is also the most literate of any I’d seen that year. Available through May 22.

Selected Shorts (Symphony Space) 

In the first ever virtual edition of Symphony Space’s long-running Selected Stories series, four familiar actors read the following short comic stories, based on the theme of best laid plans: Maulik Pancholy: Riding Solo by Simon Rich. Emily Skeggs: Miss Laura’s School for Esquire Men by Carmen Maria Machado. Allison Williams: The Meeting by Aimee Bender. Bobby Cannavale: Magnificent Desolation by Jess Walter

Must-See Theater This Weekend May 16-17: Beckett’s Happy Days, All Arts Marathon (Jame Earl Jones’ King Lear. Antigone in Ferguson, etc.) Among the avalanche of streaming options this weekend are a timely Beckett play and the rich theater offerings of an arts "marathon" --  both "opening" today -- that count as must-see theater in my book.
