GANANOQUE, Ontario — “The Molly-coddlers,” a brand new family comedy byJohn Corrigan of Kingston, Ontario, will beperformed Thursday to Sept. 5 at theThousand Islands Playhouse SpringerTheatre.

The play tells the tale of five St.Lawrence Seaway farmers, in 1840, whoturn to piracy to solve their monetary woes,with hilarious results — sort of “The FiveStooges” meets “The Pirates of Penzance.”

The determined and optimisticwannabe pirates’ biggest enemies are theirown incompetence (they name their gangThe Mollycoddlers believing the phrasewill inspire fear in their enemies) and con-sciences (they attack a steamer with the in-tention of only stealing from people who

can afford it). The gang meets in secret(when they can remember their own pass-word) to scheme and plot, but spend mostof their time bickering. They are the mostridiculous and endearing pirates you’dever want to meet.

“The Mollycoddlers” will take advan-tage of the Playhouse’s riverside location,and the plundering of the steamer will takeplace on a “ship” moored out front. The-atregoers can watch the action from eitherthe Playhouse's famous decks, or the com-

fort of their seats, as the action will be si-multaneously broadcast in the theater.

During the run of this new production,the Playhouse invites audiences to step backinto the 1840s and journey through thetown of Gananoque with a company ofcolourful real life characters such as BillJohnston and his merry band of pirates.Take part in a traditional shore breakfast,hear tales and songs of joy and courage writ-ten by the people who once lived on the Riv-er. You’ll have a chance to meet and interactwith characters from The Mollycoddlers intheir workplace, “walk the plank” learn thetraditional way to build a St. Lawrence skiff ,kick your heels up and follow a fiddler downthe street , or discover the art of fencing withthe dreaded Pirate Roy.

“The Mollycoddlers” previews Thurs-day, opens and plays until Sept. 5.

Showtimes are 8 p.m. Wednesday to Sat-urday and 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday,Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $32 gen-eral admission, $30 for seniors 65 and older,$27 for people under 30, and $16 for stu-dents. Groups of 10 to 19 are admitted for$24 per person, and groups of 20 or more for$22.

SACKETS HARBOR — Babik, one of theleading gypsy jazz bands in the Northeast,is the next featured group in the Concertson the Waterfont series. The concert startsat 3 p.m. this Sunday, Aug. 9.

Babik (pronounced Bah-beek) plays aspecial brand of jazz known as gypsyswing, which was created in the 1930s bythe legendary two-fingered guitarist,Django Reinhardt. The style blends Amer-ican Big Band swing with the exotic flair ofEuropean gypsy folk-songs.

The group performs all of its music onacoustic instruments. The guitars, stringsand even the picks are specially chosen toproduce a unique sound. The members ofBabik are Stuart Fuchs on lead guitar, Ge-off Perry on violin, Josh Assad on rhythmguitar and Kevin O’Brien on upright bass.

Formed in the summer of 2005, Babikhas garnered considerable critical andpopular recognition, including TheArtVoice Reader’s Award for Best Jazz Bandin 2006, 2007 and 2008. The group also wonBuffalo Spree Magazine’s Best Jazz Actaward in 2006 and 2007. In late 2006, theband released its debut CD, “PronouncedBah-beek,” along with a concert DVD, “Liveat Sessions.” Both became immediate No.1 best-sellers in the Buffalo area followingthe band’s performance at their sold-outrelease concert at the Tralf Music Hall.

Babik recently collaborated with con-ductor and composer Brent Havens to cre-ate orchestral arrangements for its music.In March 2008 the group performed these

new arrangements in a well-received con-cert at Kleinhans Music Hall with the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra. More or-chestral concerts are in preparation.

The Concerts on the Waterfront, in its25th season, is a free program of the Sack-ets Harbor Historical Society. All concertsare held from 3 to 5 on Sunday afternoonsat the Battlefield.

Next, on Aug. 16, will be an encore ap-pearance of the Latin pop band Grupo Pa-gan, from Syracuse.

The band’s repertoire includes songs bySantana, Gloria Esteban, Tito Nieves, MarcAnthony, Paola, Jose Feliciano and MannyManuel. In addition, Grupo Pagan per-forms original compositions, some ofwhich are featured in an upcoming CD.

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — Thegrounds of the Adirondack Museum willbecome a lively 19th century tent city withan encampment of American MountainMen interpreting the fur trade and a vari-ety of survival skills on Aug. 14 and 15.

The group will interpret the lives andtimes of traditional mountain men withcolorful demonstrations and displays ofshooting, tomahawk and knife throwing,furs, fire starting and cooking, clothing ofboth Eastern and Western mountainstyles, period firearms and more.

This year’s encampment will includeblacksmithing as well as a beaver skinningand fleshing demonstration.

All of the American Mountain Men ac-tivities and demonstrations are includedin the price of regular Adirondack Muse-um admission. There is no charge for mu-seum members. The museum is open dai-ly from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Participants in the museum encamp-ment are from the Brothers of the NewYork, Vermont, New Hampshire and Mass-achusetts segment of the national Ameri-can Mountain Men organization. The en-

campment is by invitation only.

Mountain men are powerful symbols ofAmerica’s wild frontier. Legends about themountain man continue to fascinate be-cause many of the tales are true: the life ofthe mountain man was rough, and despitean amazing ability to survive in the wilder-ness, it brought him face to face with deathon a regular basis.

The American Mountain Men groupwas founded in 1968. The association re-searches and studies the history, tradi-tions, tools, and mode of living of the trap-pers, explorers, and traders known as themountain men. Members continuouslywork for mastery of the primitive skills ofboth the original mountain men and Na-tive Americans.

The group prides itself on the accuracyand authenticity of its interpretation andshares the knowledge they have gainedwith all who are interested.

The son of an Army quartermaster, Mr.Cray was born on a military base inColumbus, Ga. on Aug. 1, 1953 and hasspent a life on the road. By his 16th birth-day, he had lived in four states and twocountries. “I got a guitar because of theBeatles,” said Mr. Cray, who had planned

to be an architect. “I started with the bluesaround ’69. That’s when I saw AlbertCollins in an outdoor concert. He just blewus all away.”

Mr. Cray’s career now spans 35 yearswith 15 albums to his credit. He has per-formed with the legends of the blues andhas garnered six Grammy awards alongwith 11 other nominations.

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — Thegrounds of the Adirondack Museum willbecome a lively 19th century tent city withan encampment of American MountainMen interpreting the fur trade and a vari-ety of survival skills on Aug. 14 and 15.

The group will interpret the lives andtimes of traditional mountain men withcolorful demonstrations and displays ofshooting, tomahawk and knife throwing,furs, fire starting and cooking, clothing ofboth Eastern and Western mountainstyles, period firearms and more.

This year’s encampment will includeblacksmithing as well as a beaver skinningand fleshing demonstration.

All of the American Mountain Men ac-tivities and demonstrations are includedin the price of regular Adirondack Muse-um admission. There is no charge for mu-seum members. The museum is open dai-ly from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Participants in the museum encamp-ment are from the Brothers of the NewYork, Vermont, New Hampshire and Mass-achusetts segment of the national Ameri-can Mountain Men organization. The en-

campment is by invitation only.

Mountain men are powerful symbols ofAmerica’s wild frontier. Legends about themountain man continue to fascinate be-cause many of the tales are true: the life ofthe mountain man was rough, and despitean amazing ability to survive in the wilder-ness, it brought him face to face with deathon a regular basis.

The American Mountain Men groupwas founded in 1968. The association re-searches and studies the history, tradi-tions, tools, and mode of living of the trap-pers, explorers, and traders known as themountain men. Members continuouslywork for mastery of the primitive skills ofboth the original mountain men and Na-tive Americans.

The group prides itself on the accuracyand authenticity of its interpretation andshares the knowledge they have gainedwith all who are interested.

SACKETS HARBOR — Babik, one of theleading gypsy jazz bands in the Northeast,is the next featured group in the Concertson the Waterfont series. The concert startsat 3 p.m. this Sunday, Aug. 9.

Babik (pronounced Bah-beek) plays aspecial brand of jazz known as gypsyswing, which was created in the 1930s bythe legendary two-fingered guitarist,Django Reinhardt. The style blends Amer-ican Big Band swing with the exotic flair ofEuropean gypsy folk-songs.

The group performs all of its music onacoustic instruments. The guitars, stringsand even the picks are specially chosen toproduce a unique sound. The members ofBabik are Stuart Fuchs on lead guitar, Ge-off Perry on violin, Josh Assad on rhythmguitar and Kevin O’Brien on upright bass.

Formed in the summer of 2005, Babikhas garnered considerable critical andpopular recognition, including TheArtVoice Reader’s Award for Best Jazz Bandin 2006, 2007 and 2008. The group also wonBuffalo Spree Magazine’s Best Jazz Actaward in 2006 and 2007. In late 2006, theband released its debut CD, “PronouncedBah-beek,” along with a concert DVD, “Liveat Sessions.” Both became immediate No.1 best-sellers in the Buffalo area followingthe band’s performance at their sold-outrelease concert at the Tralf Music Hall.

Babik recently collaborated with con-ductor and composer Brent Havens to cre-ate orchestral arrangements for its music.In March 2008 the group performed these

new arrangements in a well-received con-cert at Kleinhans Music Hall with the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra. More or-chestral concerts are in preparation.

The Concerts on the Waterfront, in its25th season, is a free program of the Sack-ets Harbor Historical Society. All concertsare held from 3 to 5 on Sunday afternoonsat the Battlefield.

Next, on Aug. 16, will be an encore ap-pearance of the Latin pop band Grupo Pa-gan, from Syracuse.

Edgar Pagan leads on bass guitar andvocals; Rhonda Arns shares vocal and key-board duties; Frank Neubert is on drumsas is Josh Dekaney, drumline instructor ofthe Syracuse University marching band.Mr. Dekaney has spent time in Miami andBrazil honing the Latin beat. Kenny Bud’slead guitar and Billy DiCosimo on key-board round out the sextet.

The band’s repertoire includes songs bySantana, Gloria Esteban, Tito Nieves, MarcAnthony, Paola, Jose Feliciano and MannyManuel. In addition, Grupo Pagan per-forms original compositions, some ofwhich are featured in an upcoming CD.

On Aug. 23, the concert series featuresQuickstep with John Kirk, Trish Miller, SaraMilonovich, Cedar Stanistreet and specialguest, Mary Burdette

Quickstep, in its eighth appearance atthe Sackets concerts, will perform livelyfiddle tunes, folk songs and fancy foot-work. This versatile group from upstateNew York plays triple fiddles, flute, banjo,

guitar, bass, mandolin and sings withmelodious harmony. Even more variety isadded with dance routines. They get audi-ences to join in with funny songs and sing-alongs. Their shows are for all ages and allfive musicians have worked together formany years.

Quickstep presents a diverse repertoireof old-time and original music rooted inthe north country, drawn from Celtic andNorth American sources. Some selectionsare sentimental, many are original, somecelebrate nature’s beauty, while others arehumorous. The band is best known forlyric and hot fiddle medleys.

Together they have three CD’s: theirmost recent is “Shuffle About;” there’s aninstrumental selection called “FiddleTunes of the North Country,” and there’s“Fly Around,” a mix of traditional and orig-

inal songs and tunes. Special guest MaryBurdette will play bass at the concert.

In addition to hiswork with Trish, he works with the VanaverCaravan and the Susquehanna Stringband.He can be heard on TV and recording proj-ects with Jay Ungar and other notable mu-sicians. Mr. Kirk has played with theCatskill Conservatory Chamber Players, atCarnegie Hall. With Walt Michael & Com-pany, he appeared at Lincoln Center as wellas at many prestigious festivals.

GANANOQUE, Ontario — “The Molly-coddlers,” a brand new family comedy byJohn Corrigan of Kingston, Ontario, will beperformed Thursday to Sept. 5 at theThousand Islands Playhouse SpringerTheatre.

The play tells the tale of five St.Lawrence Seaway farmers, in 1840, whoturn to piracy to solve their monetary woes,with hilarious results — sort of “The FiveStooges” meets “The Pirates of Penzance.”

The determined and optimisticwannabe pirates’ biggest enemies are theirown incompetence (they name their gangThe Mollycoddlers believing the phrasewill inspire fear in their enemies) and con-sciences (they attack a steamer with the in-tention of only stealing from people who

can afford it). The gang meets in secret(when they can remember their own pass-word) to scheme and plot, but spend mostof their time bickering. They are the mostridiculous and endearing pirates you’dever want to meet.

“The Mollycoddlers” will take advan-tage of the Playhouse’s riverside location,and the plundering of the steamer will takeplace on a “ship” moored out front. The-atregoers can watch the action from eitherthe Playhouse's famous decks, or the com-

fort of their seats, as the action will be si-multaneously broadcast in the theater.

During the run of this new production,the Playhouse invites audiences to step backinto the 1840s and journey through thetown of Gananoque with a company ofcolourful real life characters such as BillJohnston and his merry band of pirates.Take part in a traditional shore breakfast,hear tales and songs of joy and courage writ-ten by the people who once lived on the Riv-er. You’ll have a chance to meet and interactwith characters from The Mollycoddlers intheir workplace, “walk the plank” learn thetraditional way to build a St. Lawrence skiff ,kick your heels up and follow a fiddler downthe street , or discover the art of fencing withthe dreaded Pirate Roy.

“The Mollycoddlers” previews Thurs-day, opens and plays until Sept. 5.

Showtimes are 8 p.m. Wednesday to Sat-urday and 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday,Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $32 gen-eral admission, $30 for seniors 65 and older,$27 for people under 30, and $16 for stu-dents. Groups of 10 to 19 are admitted for$24 per person, and groups of 20 or more for$22. The box office opens daily at 11 a.m.

A pre-show fish fry will be held Aug. 7.Mike Mundell's Surf & Turf shop will startserving beginning at 6 p.m., and the localband Superhero Smith will perform start-ing at 6:30. Admission to the fish fry only is$15 per person; fish fry and show, $40 perperson. Reservations are requited by call-ing 1 (613) 382-7020.
