THERE’S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESSAs Irving Berlin once wrote, “There’s no business like show business!” This May, Hutton House Lectures at LIU Post will prove Berlin right as it raises the curtain on exciting new spring courses celebrating the theater and Hollywood.

WOODY ALLEN“Everyone Says I Love You” is one of Woody’s lesser known, yet highly creative films. This musical-comedy was filmed entirely in France and features the talents of Alan Alda, Goldie Hawn, Drew Barrymore and many others. Woody Allen’s imaginative approach to musicals was highly acclaimed upon its original release. Tuesday, May 7, 2019, 10 a.m. – 12 noon, 1 session, fee: $30

PORGY AND BESS: OPERA OR MUSICAL?In 1935, Porgy and Bess debuted on the stage of a Broadway theater. George Gershwin, the composer, called it a folk opera, and it has been performed numerous times in opera houses all over the world. However, its music has also been performed and recorded by many popular artists and jazz singers. So, is it an opera or a musical? To perhaps answer that question, you will hear each of the many of its arias/songs performed first by an opera singer and then by a popular singer. You will see videos of such songs as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now,” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.” Monday, May 13, 2019, 1 - 3 p.m., 1 session, fee: $30

THE TRIAL OF HAMLET: A NEW PLAY BY STEVEN BREESE“After five hundred years, Hamlet has something else to say.” Popular culture and classical literature collide as Shakespeare’s most popular character is thrust into the modern media spotlight. The result is a new play -- exclusively for Hutton House students -- that ponders the essential “what-ifs” of Hamlet’s psyche and motivations. With a cast of characters only Shakespeare could create, this classical courtroom drama takes a pointed and sometimes irreverent look at our legal system, the media and our culture’s fascination with the famous and infamous. How does the play end? Come see for yourself. “The Trial of Hamlet”

pushes the envelope. Steven Breese is a renowned actor and dean of the LIU Post College of Arts, Communications and Design.  Friday, May 17, 10 a.m. – 12 noon, 1 session, fee: $30

ALICE FAYE AND BETTY GRABLE Alice Faye and Betty Grable were the two leading musical stars in the 1930’s and 1940’s at 20th Century Fox. Married to band leader Phil Harris, Faye was known for her beautiful singing voice in such movies as “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”. Grable who was married to Harry James was a celebrated dancer in “Down Argentine Way”. Both stars appeared together in the “Tin Pan Alley.” Join Barry Rivadue as we look at the show business careers of these two celebrated artists who were also caring friends. Tuesday, May 21, 10 a.m. to 12 noon, 1 session, fee: $30

OUR HERITAGE: FOUNTAINS OF KNOWLEDGE

Since their inception in ancient times, fountains have awed us as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom and nature. At LIU Post, two fountains serve as the backdrop for many memorable moments for our students, from graduation to outdoor concerts and picnics.

 Installed in 2007, the fountain located on the patio outside the Great Hall, is the Greek goddess Hebe,

pouring nectar for the Gods. In ancient Greek religion, Hebe is the goddess of youth, representing the prime of life. The second fountain, located at the western tip of the Great Lawn and connected to the Humanities Hall entrance, is a semi-circular granite fountain, installed in 2009, and engraved with the phrase, “Access to the American Dream through Excellence in Higher Education. At

night, the fountain is illuminated with various colors.

 Both fountains were donated to Long Island University by alumna Mary M. Lai ('42), who is the former treasurer of LIU. At 97 years old, Mrs. Lai continues as the longest serving employee of LIU, and this year is celebrating 73 years in office. Coins tossed into the fountain are donated to the Mary and Buck Lai Endowed Scholarship Fund.
