Queens Theatre offers the world premiere of
Jimmy and Carolyn. In this true-to-life comedy, a retired couple drives to Rhode Island for the husband's birthday celebration at the fancy beach house of their gay son and his partner. First come the pepperoni loaf, Italian cookies, Pinot Grigio, and cigarettes. Then come dark truths and family drama.
Have fun without getting taken for a ride! The Queens County Farm Museum hosts an
antique motorcycle festival on Sept. 17. Now in its 37th year, this outdoor show features a variety of vintage Harleys, Husqvarnas, and Royal Enfields. Marvel at bikes with pre-1940 manufacturing dates and others that have been out of production for decades.
It’s a week of festivals: food, street, dance, harvest, motorcycle, apple-and-honey, and even Huapango. It’s also a week of openings: hilarious plays, group shows, sculpture, photography, wax, glass, and bronze. Don't be fooled by the shorter days and colder temperatures. There's something for everything during mid-September.

Addisleigh Park is a beautiful subsection of my native St. Albans neighborhood. It was a segregated community before the 1930s. But then prominent African-Americans like Lena Horne, Jackie Robinson, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, John Coltrane, and countless other Jazz legends settled in this enclave.
