SHORT SUBJECTS May 5, 2005
After an 18-month absence, Chilmark resident Peter Simon’s popular radio show, “Private Collection,” will be aired every Thursday, 7 to 9 pm, on WUMB-FM (91.9), a public radio station based at University of Massachusetts. Mr. Simon hosted the show on WMVY for five years. The premiere show will be aired tonight, May 5, featuring songs and discussions about Mother’s Day. Joining Peter in the studio will be Vineyard favorite, Kate Taylor, who will play two songs live, including a catchy country rocker “Look at Granny Run.” Mr. Simon focuses in on a particular theme or musical genre each week, with intriguing commentary too. Much of the music comes from his extensive personal archives. He features all types of music, calling his show “free-form,” and emphasizes folk/rock/reggae and songs with political, social, or spiritual content. Pontiff’s plays The Vineyard Playhouse presents a special reading of Plays of the Pope, written by Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II. As a young man, the late Pope was an actor and playwright; he continued to write plays even as a bishop. Joann Green Breuer, artistic associate of the playhouse, has chosen scenes from five of his plays. The readers include Rabbi Caryn Broitman and Father Michael Nagle, along with actors from the Island theatre community. After the reading, there will be a brief discussion with the audience, followed by refreshments in the lobby. Plays of the Pope, Wednesday, May 11, 7:30 pm, at the playhouse on Church Street in Vineyard Haven. Admission is free. 508-693-6450.
