‘Night Tripper’ shakes up Mountain Laurel BUSHKILL, PA—Mac Rebennack seems like a cool enough name for an R&B musician from New Orleans, but the funky persona of Dr. John Creaux the Night Tripper would have never been born if Rebennack remained Rebennack. Dr. John, who managed to pull together traditional New Orleans R&B with West Coast Rock in the 1960s to come up with his wholly unique musical blend of blues, funk, rock and roll and jazz, strutted onto stage swinging his cane at the Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts on Friday night. Between performances by Shemekia Copeland and B.B. King, Dr. John’s spirited performance included favorites like “Right Place, Wrong Time.” | |||||

What's at the Movies by Ian Pugh Take a stroll through ‘Wicker Park’ “Wicker Park” is a better movie than you’ve probably imagined. I swear.

Crossing Delancey Street, the great divide A review by ROBERT J. COLIN FONTANELLA SOUTH FALLSBURG, NY—“Crossing Delancey’s” broad, ethnic humor and silly, delightful story might not be remembered at all if it hadn’t been mainstreamed into a film, starring Amy Irving, that was released in 1988. Susan Sandler’s play began as a 1980s workshop production in Jewish Theatre. The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop is currently performing “Crossing Delancey” at the Rivoli Theatre under the direction of Eileen Slater, who also completed the set design and costumes. |
