Every family has a few generational legends that they tell over and over —the tale of how Granddad and his brothers saved the farm from foreclosure, or the story of how Great Grandma defied her family and married for love. Sometimes these stories feel worn from repetition, like an old penny burnished by many hands over the years. But for Capozza siblings Joe Capozza III, Katie Capozza, and Tia Green, the story they tell of the founding of the company they now head seems fresh and immediate every time they tell it. Maybe that’s because, as the third generation of their family to run the business, they continue to add to the narrative every day.

(Bar Mills, ME) The Originals present “Molly Sweeney” a play by Brian Friel at the Saco River Theatre. Friel’s Molly Sweeney is an exquisite story from a masterful storyteller – a highly entertaining play that delivers laughs while posing thoughtful questions that will stay with you for some time. The story centers on the luminous and joyful Molly (Jennifer Porter), who has been blind since infancy. Molly’s perpetually unemployed but ever enthusiastic husband, Frank (Mike Iveson who performed in West Side Story, Orange Is The New Black, What The Constitution Means To Me) has undertaken as his latest hobby – in a string of foolhardy and failed hobbies – the restoration of Molly’s sight. In his quest to accomplish this, he enlists the help of Mr. Rice (Dana Packard), a once celebrated eye surgeon whose wrecked marriage has brought him to the wilds of northwest Donegal, and for whom the operation on Molly’s eyes offers not only a chance to restore his once brilliant career, but his damaged self-esteem. As for Molly, she is being offered the chance to have her sight restored. “What has she to lose?,” Mr. Rice muses as he agrees to perform the operation.

The Museum of Modern Art opened on November 8, 1929, in several rented rooms on the 12th floor of the Heckscher Building—today the Crown Building—at 730 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Lee Krasner (1908–1984) visited the exhibition on November 9 with several of her classmates from the National Academy of Design. “We disbanded after leaving the show, and there was no time to compare notes…but the after-affects were automatic,” Krasner recollected later to the art critic Lawrence Campbell. “A freeing…an opening of a door. Seeing those French paintings (the inaugural exhibition featured Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Seurat) stirred my anger against any form of provincialism.” Apples painted from still life for her student work at the Academy began to sit differently in the picture space. Similarly, as the story goes, after seeing their first Matisse and Picasso works, she and fellow students responded with shapes, colors, and compositional choices that caused their portrait instructor to hurl paintbrushes across the classroom and exclaim, “I can’t teach you people anything.” While Krasner valued her foundational art training, these experiences exemplified the attitudes of the time. In the late-1920s and early-1930s art circles of New York City, there was enormous debate and upheaval around the notion of what makes a picture interesting. Abstraction was taking hold in the broadest sense, and European avant-garde movements like De Stijl were beginning to influence American art forms.
