Danny and the Deep Blue Sea

Danny and The Deep Blue Sea revolves around the dilapidated lives of Danny and Roberta, two tortured strangers, who meet by chance in one of the many nameless sods in the Bronx. Danny is a broad, beastly man without direction or purpose; he is drowning in a sea of violence and rage. Roberta is a wilted barfly, desiccated shell of a woman; she is drowning in an ocean of pain and guilt.

Wildcat Kids Free Fishing Day

This year's "Kids Free Fishing Day" event scheduled for Saturday, June 1 will be a great way to learn how to fish or develop your fishing skills. Representatives and volunteers from the U.S. Forest Service and Appalachian Mountain Club will provide a day's wealth of experience and knowledge to help the beginning angler get started.

Participants, who register on the morning of the event, will receive a “passport” outlining 5 stations that must be completed before they can begin fishing. Educational and instructional skill stations will include: Knot Tying; Fish ID; Casting; Ecology; Macro Invertebrates; and Fishing. Each station activity will take 15-20 minutes to complete and once an activity has been completed, the passport will be stamped and the aspiring angler will be one step closer to casting a line in the stocked fishing pond.

The free event will take place from 10am - 3pm rain or shine (*registration cut-off is 12pm) and all ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and all persons should bring proper footwear and clothing as well as personal sun protection (hat, sunglasses, spf) and bug repellent.
