Finally I have a HOME.....SPAF. My energy level is still high, my May is at my side and I have 2 wonderful partners who see my same vision. The many great people I have met have remained loyal and helpful. I am truly a fortunate individual. On the way here I have certainly LEARNED some valuable lessons. Most I will use as just reminders and not anything else. I live today as the present and enjoy all the marrow of this moment....there is no NEED to look back.<br />
Thanks to everyone who I have met on this journey and thanks ahead of time to the many wonderful people I will meet in the future. Thanks for listening!S.P.A.F.

The people you meet and the experiences you handle on a regular basis really make you grow and develop. My training as an educator has been very helpful in this venture. We truly are the sum total of all our life experiences. I can see all of the needs before me and as I prepare each aspect for the facility certain people come to mind and are a perfect fit. Since we are bringing all the arts "Under one Roof" I need people from various genre's to lead the group. At this time we have 10 areas we are working on: Theatre, Opera, Jazz, Cabaret, Visual Arts, Applied Arts, Film work, Dance, Cooking and Youth Art.<br />
As we open our facility it will be easy for the public to see and feel the energy of the ARTS! SPAF has the honor and privilege to bring to the Saugerties community a venue that will showcase many of the fabulous artists we have right here in our own neighborhood. The support we seek is basic and certainly fits into the philosophy of the area: "The Hudson Valley is a Jewel" and we want others to see that for themselves.<br />
As we get closer to our first event please be in touch and let us know how you feel about our Performing Arts Factory. We are working on our website and many things are happening before our Grand Opening.<br />

I have not posted in months and feel a little rusty...almost like spring training. My journey is continuing thanks to two new people in my life and of course the many who have marched with me. Erica and Gerard Price have allowed me to continue my journey to bring "The Arts Under One Roof". They have formed SPAF II LLC. and have made me the Operations Manager of this amazing facility. They have generously allowed me to develop 21,000sf of their 55,000sf building (the other side is for their business USA Uniforms Inc.) and bring the arts together. This outstanding 1914 building is now home to: theatre, opera, jazz, cabaret, dance, art, cooking and has been certified as a sound stage.Our new partnership is a MIRACLE!!!!!<br />
I will start to update everyone with information and events as we become more settled. Thanks to everyone for your kindness and blessings. May and I feel very much at home at SPAF and hope to see many of our old and new friends at SPAF'S future events. Thanks for Listening!S.P.A.F.

The past two months have been an amazing journey for us at Stella May Productions. First, we have moved to Saugerties and now have our office space at 171 Ulster Avenue and our performance space is just a walk down the street to 169 Ulster Avenue. The old liquidators building will be housing our new 14,000sf performance facility. I will be sending updates to all of you shortly. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

NO! The right time has a special way of whispering to each of us. It could be the kind word said to a friend or family member who is experiencing a trying time in their life. It could be when someone has a sad look on their face and you lend them an ear. It could be a favorite dish cooked up for someone who needs to savor the smell of the past. It could be the gift that is placed in the hands of someone who needs to feel the embrace of an others kindness. Yes.....use the senses to guide you through the process of helping others and finding the Right Time. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

After 30 months and an enormous amount of daily time and money..a dream happened today. People are starting to get our mission. The Arts are creating the change and Stella May Productions and Second Chance 4 Me are finally being heard. Thank you God! The path will still be challenging but the road is being paved by wonderful people who are also adding to our vision. Many important groups, agencies and individuals are coming together to accomplish life changing situations and events for people in need. The importance of collaborative efforts has never been as important as it is at this time. People need to listen better and understand that it is the joint effort and the positive outcome that matters most. Let's continue to be vibrant and helpful to those around us and make sure that we lend a helping hand when needed. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

The natural state of affairs that occur with people of Action is that they are ready and positioned to move forward without much prodding. Discussions have there place in time and space but it is Action that takes the lead and makes results more visible to the viewing public. We can make ready with plans, forums, groups and committees, yet the Action person takes that type of thinking to another level. Our souls and spirits stir with passion and conviction and yet the unleashing of movement is what gets things churning. Simply expressed: the lights don't turn on unless you flick the switch. I like to flick the switch and I see better in the light. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

My good fortune to have met many wonderful people on this journey has made it even more special and productive. Having my May in my life fills me beyond words. I have lost much on my journey, had my share of sadness and tragedy but there is no looking back. On the eve of my 64th birthday I have but one wish. A time before this I had wished for other things but that didn't happen but Second Chance 4 Me did happen. My wish is basic, free of any under lying wishes and yet bold in its nature. Come in a little closer....I wish for others to help me in my quest to help as many people as I can. That's it. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

My GPS (good people skills) has enabled me to temper my soul, feed my spirit, guide my thoughts and direct my actions in a sensitive and passionate way. During my career as a special education teacher I was able to blend difficult situations with a calmness that promoted unity as opposed to alienating the group. In the next stages of my life as a business owner I have utilized the same approach. Over time I can see and feel the results of a strong spirit finally being viewed while possibly not understood but yet having to be dealt with. Thank God for purpose and humility because without them we indulge ourselves in false acts of self-importance. While we all are vital in the fabric of life, some need to realize that as we spread the fabric out we are all important in the design and not just one piece taking up the entire focus. Be willing to be a blend of the colors, texture and design and not worry about the singular essence of your importance. The listening and seeing has to be felt and captured to truly feel the kiss of life on our cheek. With a humble soul I wish you ALL warmth and kindness on your journey.S.P.A.F.

The thing that we have been waiting to happen. The thing that you feel will happen, has to happen and if it doesn't you wonder why. The thing that people say will happen over time. The thing that some say takes more time than you have. You know the thing I am talking about...the thing you think about all the time. The thing that when you were a kid you expected to happen when you became an adult. That thing, the thing that drives us every single day. Well that thing does happen and when IT happens it is really cool. I hope your thing works out for you.S.P.A.F.

Some people/groups can make things happen. They blend the creative juices, stir the vibrant ideas and mix in the energy of people and before you can say....IT IS DONE. At Stella May Productions we do exactly that. On a daily basis the dream moves forward. Pleasantly and with heart and soul we move forward. Thank God for spirit and passion because when they are rubbed together a flame ignites. Our continued passion to bring quality performances to our (2) stages is a continuing journey. The Stella stage and the May stage have already established the presence of the theatre in our community. We hope to expand our recognition beyond the local city of Kingston, NY. Our focus is the entire county and beyond. The talent pool in the Hudson Valley is enormous. Our venue is an opportunity to showcase the artists in an atmosphere that brings back the old city venues that had the vibe to start off and the talent just made it ROCK! We have more on our mission plate than entertainment however. We need your help to establish Part II. Our membership packages are our way to remain solvent. We take 30% of that money and re-invest it into the parent company: Second Chance 4 Me. That company HELPS people. We have two projects on the table. We need funds to film a documentary on our friend Will and we need tuition for our friend Hector to get certified as a trainer. If you have ANY questions about our projects we would love to hear from you. Please remember that the old fashioned way of calling or visiting is still alive and useful. Social Media is exciting and so is the face-to-face meeting. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

I have received many suggestions when it comes to social media. Many aspects of the process still confuse me but I push forward. Some say it's too much others say you should do it this way and others say do it that way. Well folks, I am doing it from my heart and that is the only way I operate. This weekend we are co-producing a play with our new friend Pam Tate. We are all very excited about this project. Local actors have come together, lighting people, stage hands and my student from 31 years ago Joe, is helping out with props. My excitement stems from the feelings that come from bringing people and activities together. Maybe it's the retired teacher in me. My joy not only comes from the production but the process as well. It truly has been a process to savor. Please, if you see this request more than once or if you hear about it from another source..please appreciate the effort that it takes to bring an idea from ones mind and soul and build it into a viable entity with very little financial support but with a tremendous amount of heart. As usual..Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

My favorite places of course are right here in Kingston. Let's take a look at Stella May Gallery Theatre. This evening they are hosting a local group called Broad Band. Tomorrow is the continuation of the Jazz series at 8:00 PM. Next week, June 24,25 &26 we have the play Behind the Mask.

She is an opera singer connected to Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice and I am connected to Stella May Productions. Our conversation got around to supporting the Arts. We both agree, she as a performer and promoter and I as a promoter and Gallery/Theatre owner that local support is key to what we do in the Arts. Sometimes by just calling up or visiting and with a friendly smile finding out what is going on in the neighborhood could result in finding small treasures. I never want anyone to feel that the new kids on the block are trying to manifest a new approach to taking over and pushing people away. The more we work together the better off we all are. People who visit want a vast diversification of venues to pick from. They in turn tell their friends and more people come into the area. We pride ourselves in our culture, the number of artists in the area and we should also pride ourselves in the number of venues we have. My words are not intended to provoke but instead promote the willingness to share the richness we have in the Arts right here in the Hudson Valley. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

I have noticed on my journey in life how many people don't get certain things. That's fine.....I don't mind explaining things to others. What becomes tiresome is the lack of listening and cognitive processing that doesn't go into understand the elements and concepts that are being presented on a regular bases. I have several suggestions that may help in these difficult situations. When you learn about a new idea, place or product take the time to listen to the presentation and try to absorb the point being made. Remove some of your bias nature and look at it from a fresh perspective. Sometimes things are really what they say they are. More importantly, give a person or group a chance to explain their points, passion and perspective. It could lead to progress, prosperity and productivity. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

The cast are all fairly local and very excited to have a new live theatre venue to perform at. Our goal from the very beginning of this journey was to bring to Kingston and Ulster County a small performance space that promotes all the ARTS. We believe a community prospers when cultural events are actively discussed and promoted by local businesses and the community in its entirety. The Arts bring people together, they heal, they invite the public to visit shops and restaurants that are around the venue and they also lead to businesses moving into the area. I invite all art patrons to not only visit our venue but visit all the wonderful performance spaces in the area. SHARING our culture, our diversity and our love of the ARTS will teach our younger generation how to be more friendly and cooperative to one another. Thanks for listening.S.P.A.F.

The feelings are almost wordless. Time moves through the veil of the day and finally the moment comes when you must start over. Even closer, "The First Day". You hope it is event less from the prospective that all around allow you to move through their space...and slowly you feel you can create your own space. Some look at it as a second chance and others have no contribution in the re-entry process. This day has major significance to those who breathe the new air that was stolen or given up by their lose of the sacred compass of life. When we see, hear or feel the presence of a "First day" for someone: please lend a kind word, soft gesture or simple response to that individual and let them know that there are more days that follow. Thank You.S.P.A.F.

Advice you yourself would be able to digest and be fueled by. It's easy to pontificate about things but the actual walk is an entirely different set of muscles and emotions. This topic is on my mind because of the issues we face at this time. Our constant concern about topics we all have committed to memory have drained us of certain basic traits we have forgotten to share. The act of concern for others is monumental: we seem to protect our deeded plot as if we are a prospector from the old west. Reaching out and helping each other is huge in today's climate. Join forces and watch how the spirit learns to forge new strength from the collective. We need to sit and chat about how collectively we can solve the issues. Each party brings their spirit to the table. If the table can hold the collective and if the parties are willing to collaborate a solution will rise from the discussion. We teach one another on the journey. Sometimes the leader is the collective action of the group and not the individual in charge. Be strong in your willingness to be humble and the art of teaching will be experienced by the results.S.P.A.F.
