The Adventures of Gingerella is an operatic theater piece featuring a child-like interloper, Gingerella, who floats into a peaceful world where she befriends a snake, giraffe, Indian cow, crocodile and others who share an adventure becoming peace warriors. The Adventures of Gingerella is based on a story of the same name by Sea Cliff artist, Ginger Balizer-Hendler, written in free verse as an allegorical tale that takes its reader on an amazing journey.
The production will include the main character Gingerella, a storyteller, chorus and the many creatures. Currently we are in the early stages of production which entails song writing, staging, and workshopping for under layers and subtext. This interactive opera is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and the Sanskrit word Ahimsa, which means non-injury. There is an open opportunity for the motivated, creative and technical, and others– as set and costume designers; for writing, singing, dancing, music, lighting, sound and special effects.

A community conversation through art, film, and more, held on Earth Day, 2015
Hempstead Harbor and the Surrounding Communities The re-PLANTING Glenwood Arts event was inspired by the dismantling of the iconic Glenwood Landing Power plant, an historic and architecturally unique landmark that for nearly a century provided jobs and electrical power to the area. The idea of rePlanting is to document and memorialize the role of the plant in the community and start a dialogue about what happens in its absence; and also to germinate new ideas and fertilize existing ones about how to nurture creative and environmentally sound growth in Hempstead Harbor and the surrounding communities The event held on April 22nd, 2015 hosted at the historic Glenwood Church, featured the recent and archival photos, paintings, films and other mixed media works of local artists and residents, as well as the performance of music. A range of speakers addressed the history of the power plant, stories of peoples lives, present and future concerns on the environmental impact to the surrounding Hempstead Harbor community, sustainable growth and possibilities moving forward. The modern environmental movement born on EARTH DAY on April 22, 1970 which still challenges communities to, "Discover energy you didn't even know you had. Feel it rumble through the grassroots under your feet and the technology at your fingertips. Channel it into building a clean, healthy, diverse world for generations to come." --from Earth Day.org.
