MUTUAL
STRANGERS
Henry Hudson & the River that Discovered Him
ARM
OF THE SEA combines stunning visuals
and live music to harness the transformational
energy of mask and puppet theatre
in this drama inspired by the 400th
anniversary of Hudson’s voyage.
Based on the ship’s log and
the oral traditions of Lenape and
Mohican peoples, Mutual Strangers
tells the story of this world-changing
voyage from many points of view.
The early show is a shorter version
suitable for younger audiences.

from wildly farcical to tenderly
poignant. (One of the plays is
included in the anthology The Best
Stage Scenes 2008.) Directed by
Bernie Kukoff, producer of I Love
You, You’re Perfect, Now
Change, Mombo features a marvelous
cast romping through some of the

BRUCE MOLSKY
Guitar,
fiddle, or banjo in hand, alone
or with fellow musicians, Bruce
has been exploring traditional
music from an astonishingly
broad range of cultures over
the past two decades, synthesizing
them and refracting them through
his own evolving sensibilities
to the point where the sources
of his inspiration transform
themselves into a sound that
is uniquely his.
While most identified with traditional American old-time music, Molsky’s
influences range from the Appalachian soul of Tommy Jarrell to Delta
blues; from the haunting modal strains of Irish music to the rhythmically
nimble music of Eastern Europe.
his summer, Bruce returns for his 2nd Tent appearance!
