SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  Jaws
DESCRIPTION:Jaws  Everyone’s favorite beach movie\, this Steven Spielberg classic stars Roy Scheider\, Robert Shaw\, Richard Dreyfuss\, and The Shark.  The summertime thriller about a great white shark attacking beachgoers at a summer resort town\, was based on the novel by Peter Benchley\, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Carl Gottlieb.  Benchley was inspired by several real-life incidents in writing his novel Jaws\, such as the 1916 Jersey shore attacks that left four people dead over the course of twelve days.  Paul Newman\, Steve McQueen\, and Robert Redford were originally considered for the leading roles\, but producer David Brown knew the movie required no stars: “The star of this movie was a fish.” The ominous music by John Williams also contributed in no small measure to the great success of the film. \nThe film was shot on location at Martha’s Vineyard\, chosen because the surrounding ocean had a sandy bottom that never dropped below 35 feet for 12 miles out from shore\, which allowed the mechanical sharks to operate while also beyond sight of land.  New equipment was developed to facilitate marine and underwater shooting\, including a rig to keep the camera stable\, regardless of tide\,  Spielberg asked the art department to avoid red in both scenery and wardrobe\, so that the blood from the attacks would be the only red element and cause a bigger shock. \nShooting at sea led to many delays: unwanted sailboats drifted into frame\, cameras got soaked\, and the Orca once began to sink with the actors on board. The prop sharks frequently malfunctioned owing to a series of problems including bad weather\, pneumatic hoses taking on salt water\, frames fracturing due to water resistance\, and corroding skin. Gottlieb was nearly decapitated by the boat’s propellers\, and Dreyfuss was almost imprisoned in the steel cage. The actors were frequently seasick. Spielberg later calculated that during the 12-hour daily work schedule\, on average only four hours were actually spent filming. \nThe delays proved beneficial in some regards. The script was refined during production\, and the unreliable mechanical sharks forced Spielberg to shoot many scenes so that the shark was only hinted at. This forced restraint is widely thought to have added to the film’s suspense. As Spielberg put it years later\, “The film went from a Japanese Saturday matinee horror flick to more of a Hitchcock\, the less-you-see-the-more-you-get thriller.”

SUMMARY:Andy Happel & Los Galactacos String Band
DESCRIPTION:The band’s new program is a tour de force of authentic\, inspired musicianship\, featuring the blazing fiddle work of violinist Andy Happel\, dobro guitar and twin fiddle by Jonathan Cooper\, bassist Drew Wyman and percussionist Sean Daniels. \nFounded in summer 2015 on a lark to enjoy some late-summer soirees\, the Los Galactacos musical excursion was quickly underway with multi-instrumentalist Andy Happel as navigator. A true translator and ambassador of musical ideas\, Happel has infused Los Galactacos with his elegant fire. \nThe program\, entitled “A Tour of the Americas”\, includes a variety of beautiful tunes and rousing rhythms from across the Americas\, and across the seas: Tex/Mex folk; Appalachian string music; Canadian Maritime fiddle tunes; the Classic American Songbook; ol’ time Country; and music for wherever people gather and celebrate.  In a past performance at Ogunquit Performing Arts\, the engaging personality of Andy Happel & friends and the enticing nature of their music caused audience members to create an impromptu dance floor at the back of the hall! \nA concert violinist and fiddler\, Happel has shared the stage with symphony orchestras\, pop stars\, and country music artists. As bandleader for the 1990’s rock group “Thanks to Gravity\,” Andy was signed to Capitol Records and toured extensively with several well-known groups including Guster\, Train and The Dave Matthews Band. A successful run with country singer Don Campbell followed\, where he opened for such country legends as Willie Nelson\, Randy Travis and George Daniels. \nIn addition to performing\, Andy has served as Director of Strings at the Waynflete School in Portland\, Maine\, and has worked and performed with such far reaching regional and international musical entities as the Moravian Philharmonic in the Czech Republic\, the Metropolitan Children’s Chorus in NYC\, the New England String Quartet\, and the Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra\, and as Lead Producer with the classical music label PARMA Recordings. He is also OPA’s annual musical performer at the Capriccio Festival of Kites at Ogunquit Beach. \nAlready embarked on their current adventure\, the group has entertained at Wentworth By The Sea (Newcastle\, NH)\, Wentworth Marina\, The Wentworth (Jackson\, NH)\, two seasons residency at El Rayo in Scarborough\, Maine\, and a collection of private residences. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tickets: $20\, in advance\, $25\, at the door\, $5 student\, and may be purchased at the Dunaway Center\, Cricket’s Corner Beach and Toy\, Ogunquit Welcome Center\, or ONLINE by clicking the button below. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nTICKETS
