Driven by this need\, Cynthia launched the group to connect local talent. Since its inception\, the coalition’s community has flourished\, growing from just 20 members to a vibrant Facebook following of over 200. \nRecently\, the coalition began hosting dynamic literary events dubbed “Author-thons.” These events are designed to engage\, energize\, and educate the community while fostering a lifelong love of literature. Moving forward\, the Cornwall NY Authors Coalition continues to bring literature to the public in fresh\, exciting ways\, permanently changing how people perceive and support local authors. \nNote: Lineups and show details are subject to change—because true creativity can’t be contained!

SUMMARY:The Prestige Dinner
DESCRIPTION:The art of dining. The art of deception. \nA seated four-course dinner with wine\, and two magicians working the room between the courses. \nHere is how the night runs. You sit down\, you order a drink\, and before the first course arrives both magicians are already on the floor doing close-up work\, two to five people at a time. They each take half the room. Partway through the night they switch sides\, so every table gets both of them. Twice during dinner one of them takes the stage for ten minutes while you eat. After dessert they come back out together for a finale neither one performs alone. \nThen there is applause\, and photographs\, and nobody leaves for a while. \nSeating at 7:00 PM.\n141 Main Street\, Beacon\, New York. \nSavage Wonder is a veteran-led arts center in Beacon\, New York. A gallery\, a theater\, a wine and dessert bar\, and a Friday night that got away from us in the best possible direction.

SUMMARY:Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon: A Savage Soirée
DESCRIPTION:One room\, four hours\, and a former bank behaving very badly. \nDashiell Hammett published The Maltese Falcon in 1930. Everybody in it is lying\, everybody is using a false name\, and everybody wants the same object. On Saturday August 29 we are turning the whole downstairs into that world. \nA themed cocktail party with vaudeville acts working the room all night\, projections across every surface\, and two cocktails invented for this night and available on no other night. The story runs loose through all of it. Nobody sits down. Nobody announces anything. You will be somewhere in the middle of it with a drink in your hand. \nCome as somebody else. Don’t break character. \nDoors at 7:30. Eight o’clock until midnight. 21+. \n$15\, and your first cocktail is free when you buy online. \n141 Main Street\, Beacon NY. That’s the door that’s actually open. \n  \nFrom the 1930 novel. Directed by Topher Kage.

SUMMARY:The Trial\, by Franz Kafka
DESCRIPTION:Josef K. wakes up one morning and there are two men in his bedroom. They know his name. They will not say what he did. They tell him he is under arrest\, spend ten minutes talking to each other about moisture and mice\, and then suggest he go on in to work. \nNobody in this play gets an answer. Not from the court\, which never convenes. Not from the lawyer\, who cannot help. Not from the clerk\, who is genuinely sorry and is not permitted to say why. \nThe first people to hear it thought it was funny. Max Brod\, who published the novel after Kafka’s death\, wrote that when Kafka read the opening chapter aloud to his friends\, everybody laughed\, Kafka included\, so hard that there were moments when he could not read any further. Productions since have mostly gone the other way\, into dread and nightmare. This one goes back to the room where everybody was laughing. \nFive actors play twenty-five parts. In a court where nobody identifies themselves and the judge is never present\, the faces keep changing. \nIt is done in Savage Wonder’s flash to bang style: rehearsed the day of and up that night\, fully staged and ambitiously blocked\, with no props\, no costumes\, and actors on book. Every performance is different. None of them are safe. \nAdapted from the German and directed by Founding Artistic Director Christopher Paul Meyer. Casting by Jenn Haltman. Produced in accordance with Actors’ Equity Association. \nBites & Cocktails\nYour ticket includes curated food and cocktails crafted by The Grape Rebellion.\n \nFeaturing\,\nAna Anderson*\, Dylan Crow*\, Patrick Harvey*\, Mike Labaddia*\, & Viet Vo* \n*Denotes a member of Actor’s Equity\nThe Trial · Instructions\nYour ticket is all-inclusive & begins at 6PM. \nDoors open on time. The proceedings begin on time.  \nSeating is limited and arranged as part of the performance environment. \nAll performances have limited capacity and may sell out. Tickets may be released through the waitlist as available. Walk-ins are welcome to inquire; seating is not guaranteed.

SUMMARY:The Prestige Dinner
DESCRIPTION:The art of dining. The art of deception. \nA seated four-course dinner with wine\, and two magicians working the room between the courses. \nHere is how the night runs. You sit down\, you order a drink\, and before the first course arrives both magicians are already on the floor doing close-up work\, two to five people at a time. They each take half the room. Partway through the night they switch sides\, so every table gets both of them. Twice during dinner one of them takes the stage for ten minutes while you eat. After dessert they come back out together for a finale neither one performs alone. \nThen there is applause\, and photographs\, and nobody leaves for a while. \nSeating at 7:00 PM.\n141 Main Street\, Beacon\, New York. \nSavage Wonder is a veteran-led arts center in Beacon\, New York. A gallery\, a theater\, a wine and dessert bar\, and a Friday night that got away from us in the best possible direction.

SUMMARY:The Trial\, by Franz Kafka
DESCRIPTION:Josef K. wakes up one morning and there are two men in his bedroom. They know his name. They will not say what he did. They tell him he is under arrest\, spend ten minutes talking to each other about moisture and mice\, and then suggest he go on in to work. \nNobody in this play gets an answer. Not from the court\, which never convenes. Not from the lawyer\, who cannot help. Not from the clerk\, who is genuinely sorry and is not permitted to say why. \nThe first people to hear it thought it was funny. Max Brod\, who published the novel after Kafka’s death\, wrote that when Kafka read the opening chapter aloud to his friends\, everybody laughed\, Kafka included\, so hard that there were moments when he could not read any further. Productions since have mostly gone the other way\, into dread and nightmare. This one goes back to the room where everybody was laughing. \nFive actors play twenty-five parts. In a court where nobody identifies themselves and the judge is never present\, the faces keep changing. \nIt is done in Savage Wonder’s flash to bang style: rehearsed the day of and up that night\, fully staged and ambitiously blocked\, with no props\, no costumes\, and actors on book. Every performance is different. None of them are safe. \nAdapted from the German and directed by Founding Artistic Director Christopher Paul Meyer. Casting by Jenn Haltman. Produced in accordance with Actors’ Equity Association. \nBites & Cocktails\nYour ticket includes curated food and cocktails crafted by The Grape Rebellion.\n \nFeaturing\,\nAna Anderson*\, Dylan Crow*\, Patrick Harvey*\, Mike Labaddia*\, & Viet Vo* \n*Denotes a member of Actor’s Equity\nThe Trial · Instructions\nYour ticket is all-inclusive & begins at 6PM. \nDoors open on time. The proceedings begin on time.  \nSeating is limited and arranged as part of the performance environment. \nAll performances have limited capacity and may sell out. Tickets may be released through the waitlist as available. Walk-ins are welcome to inquire; seating is not guaranteed.
