How Glen Cove’s Frank Price Helped Bring a 3,500 Year-old Eygptian Monument to NYC’s Central Park. The wonders of ancient Egypt have been removed by grave robbers, conquerors, archeologists and wealthy collectors of antiquities for over 2,000 years. By the late 19th century, Eygpt had begun to protect its history, yet some heads of government continued to give away ancient artifacts to other nations. In 1879, the last of the many obelisks that were transported out of Egypt was gifted to NYC and stands today in Central Park. The story of how a young civil engineer from Glen Cove helped to bring “Cleopatra’s Needle” from Alexandria to its present location is a fascinating tale of political maneuvering and engineering ingenuity.

A solo performance of Dickens’ classic holiday tale! Adapted & performed by Greg Oliver Bodine – Directed by Shana Solomon
Charles Dickens’ 1867 American Reading Tour is off to a rough start Due to an inexplicable loss of his luggage, he regretfully announces that he will be
unable to read from his beloved classic, “A Christmas Carol”. All is not lost however; Dickens delivers what he promised by performing from memory the magical story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey from miserliness to redemption with warmth and humor. This one-man play is based on the condensed version Dickens himself used on his historic reading tours of the US and is adapted here to offer a unique theatrical experience. One actor. One hour! This show is rated G and is suitable for adults and children ages 10
