La Luz De Un Cigarrillo by Marco Antonio Rodriguez http://www.york.cuny.edu/events/la-luz-de-un-cigarrillo-by-marco-antonio-rodriguez-1 Mother's love knows no boundaries... After a five-year self-imposed absence, Julio César, a young man with a buried secret, returns home after the death of his father. Over the course of two evenings, mother and son, two estranged generations of Dominicans living in a now gentrified upper west side, attempt to rekindle the love and appreciation for each other and their roots; but Julio César soon realizes he isn’t the only one with a secret. Unexpected revelations threaten to destroy an already thin bond between mother and child. El amor de una madre no conoce barreras... Después de cinco años de ausencia, Julio César, un joven cargando un secreto bien guardado, regresa a casa después de la muerte de su padre.  En el transcurso de dos noches madre e hijo, dos diferentes generaciones de Dominicanos viviendo en un barrio antes repleto de latinos pero ahora aburguesado, chocan y batallan por sus identidades, su amor mutuo y el aprecio por sus raices.  Pero Julio César pronto se da cuenta que no es el único con un secreto.  Inesperadas revelaciones atentan romper el ya debilitado vínculo entre madre e hijo.

La Luz de Un Cigarrillo

by Marco Antonio Rodríguez

Directed by Timothy J. Amrhein

Many believe the bulk of the Dominican American experience in New York City lies in Washington Heights, but in the unexpected corners of now gentrified upper mid-town are remnants of what once was: Lucecita Ortensia Cruz is one of only a handful of Dominican immigrants that stubbornly remains in this neighborhood.

A sudden death in the family forces her son, Julio César, to return to the City after a five year self-imposed absence.  In the course of two nights they attempt to rekindle the love and appreciation for each other and their Dominican roots.  But hidden secrets are unexpectedly revealed and threaten to destroy an already thin bond.

Muchos creen que la mayor parte de la experiencia dominicana se encuentra en la ciudad de NuevaYork en Washington Heights, pero aun queda una huella de lo que antes fue en las equinas distinguidas del upper mid-town. Lucecita Ortensia Cruz es una de las pocas personas de los muchos inmigrantes dominicanas que aun viven en el barrio.

Una muerte inesperada entre la familia causa que al disgusto de Julio César, el hijo de Luzecita, regrese a la cuidad después de su ausencia de cinco años. Después de su llegada, Lucecita y Julio tratan de renovar el amor entre los dos y de sus raíces, pero unos secretos salen a la luz y amenazan destruir la relación entre ellos.

Under the direction of Professor Timothy J. Amrhein, this production will feature the evocative set designs of David T. Jones, built by York College students under the direction of CLT Garth Belcon.  It also features the vivid lighting of guest designer, Daniel Winter.  CLT, Jessica Pecharsky, member of Actor’s Equity Association, rounds off the list as production/stage manager and choreographer.

The cast of LA LUZ DE UN CIGARRILLO features a cast of 4 talented students: Francis Madi, Daniel Anthony Hidalgo, Fior Peralta and Katherine Rodriguez.

Performances in English begin October 26 at 4PM, and continue running on October 27 at 2PM; and October 30 at 12noon.  Performances in Spanish begin October 27 at 8PM; October 28 at 3pm; and conclude November 1 at 12noon.

Yet we continue to hear stories of misery from Haiti. Why have NGOs failed at their mission? Set in Haiti during the 2004 coup and aftermath and enhanced by research conducted after the 2010 earthquake, Killing with Kindness analyzes the impact of official development aid on recipient NGOs and their relationships with local communities. Written like a detective story, the book offers rich enthnographic comparisons of two Haitian women’s NGOs working in HIV/AIDS prevention, one with public funding (including USAID), the other with private European NGO partners. Mark Schuller looks at participation and autonomy, analyzing donor policies that inhibit these goals. He focuses on NGOs’ roles as intermediaries in “gluing” the contemporary world system together and shows how power works within the aid system as these intermediaries impose interpretations of unclear mandates down the chain—a process Schuller calls “trickle-down imperialism.”

MARK SCHULLER is former coordinator of the African American Resource Center at York College, CUNY. A writer for Huffington Post, he is the coeditor of four books, including Tectonic Shifts: Haiti since the Earthquake, and codirector of the documentary film Poto Mitan: Haitian Women, Pillars of the Global Economy. His scholarly work has been published in twenty peer reviewed articles or book chapters, and he is actively involved in Haiti solidarity efforts.

This year, we have the pleasure of hosting Roy Fox from the Rufus King Manor. Mr. Fox is a longtime radio personality and expert on the Constitution and Jamaica's own Rufus King. (Senator King was a framer of the Constitution and played a pivotal role in the early stages of the abolition movement. His home, open to the public, is located on Jamaica Avenue, just blocks from York College.) Joseph Salzone from YCRadio.org will interview Mr. Fox. The session will be conducted like a talk show and we invite all of the York College community (students, faculty, staff and friends) to come and learn about the Constitution and ask questions about the Constitution then and now.

Please come -- and invite your students to come -- and join us for what promises to be an interesting talk about the Constitution.

Light refreshments will be served. Small gifts will also be distributed (while supplies last!)
