*The film on November 4 is the feature documentary “Dateline-Saigon” by
Thomas Herman.*
In 1962, five inexperienced, ambitious, competitive, and unknown
reporters stood against their government and the established norms of
war reporting to reveal the deceit and misjudgments taking place in
Vietnam. All went to Vietnam hoping to make their mark, and for a bit of
adventure. What they found was the story of a lifetime.
Few realized then how important their reporting was, and how they and
their colleagues would become role models for today’s front-line
reporters around the globe. “Dateline-Saigon” illuminates the
difficulties of reporting war by focusing on America’s most important
and controversial case study: Vietnam, the war that established many of
the ground rules for coverage of wars that followed and ignited an
antagonism between the media and the military that endures. The
parallels to the challenges journalists face in reporting today’s
conflicts are startling.
“Dateline-Saigon” was filmed over a 12-year period in the United States,
UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Vietnam, and Iraq. The film
features multiple interviews with key characters, some of whom are no
longer living, and rare archival motion picture and still photographs,
some of which come from private archives and are now seen publicly for
the first time.
Producer and director Thomas D. Herman is a Boston-based attorney and
filmmaker and a co-producer of the Emmy Award-winning feature film “Live
>From Baghdad,” starring Michael Keaton and Helena Bonham-Carter. Mr.
Herman spent 12 years researching, filming, and interviewing more than
50 writers, photojournalists, radio and television correspondents,
government officials, historians, and others for this project. (article

*Opening Reception for Pottery Show*
(from the Falmouth Enterprise)
Work by potter Seth Rainville of New Bedford will be featured at
Creative Hands Gallery
<http://www.creativehandsgallery.com/page.php?pg=About%20Us>in Sandwich,
beginning with a *reception with the artist on Sunday, November 5, from
2 to 4 PM.*
Mr. Rainville, a professional potter for 20 years, is familiar to Cape
artists as one of the teachers in the pottery studio at the Falmouth Art
Center. Mr. Rainville has taught as many as three classes a semester at
the center but has cut back recently while doing a two-year
artist-in-residence at Harvard University. Currently Mr. Rainville is
teaching a “Soups Up” class for intermediate students where each week
the class focuses on a different bowl shape and function, be it soup
bowl, batter bowl, salad bowl, or pasta bowl. The class will culminate
in a soup bowl potluck.
Mr. Rainville will be “briniging Harvard to Cape Cod” later this month
with a wine and cheese reception, lecture, and question and answer
period with Mr. Rainville and two fellow Harvard University
Artists-in-Residence, Stuart Fair and Mark Burns, on November 19 at the
Falmouth Art Center. The artists will give brief lectures about their
work and how their residencies have allowed their work to change and
grow. Their talk will be followed by an audience-guided dialogue
moderated by Harvard education director Kathy King.
Mr. Rainville said he has basically two personalities as an artist. The
first is as the creator of Rainville-ware, functional pottery to be used
in restaurants. Bowls, mugs, plates, teapots, and other functional ware
are meticulously made to complement whatever food each vessel is
intended to hold.
“I take the Rainville-ware line very seriously, working with chefs to
make utilitarian pieces,” Mr. Rainville said. He recalled any early
experience with a chef who ordered teapots only to be disappointed with
what Mr. Rainville thought were perfect pots because they were larger
than what he had specified and would require too much tea to fill them.
“That was humbling,” said Mr. Rainville, who prior to that said he had
given less thought to the ultimate function of the vessel.
Mr. Rainville described some of the ways that having the right vessel to
fit the drink or meal is important. For example, some people like a
large coffee mug but he prefers one that’s small. “I’m a big guy but I
make these dainty porcelain objects. I like a smaller mug because I like
my coffee hot,” he said, adding that he’d rather go back for a second
cup than have it get cold in a large mug. Mr. Rainville also noted that
many women enjoy larger mugs but that rather than holding onto the
handle of the mug they’ll cradle the body of the mug in their hands,
enjoying the warmth of the beverage through the pottery.
For his line of what he calls his inkware pottery, Mr. Rainville said
that the clay is his three-dimensional canvas, explaining that he will
often go all the way around a vessel with an image or several images in
different sections, which tell something of a story. Often the scenes
are domestic, providing a snapshot into someone’s life.
He often uses teapots because of their unique history as both currency,
due to the value of porcelain, and economic status in different
countries. They make a good launching point for what is described as his
“narrative porcelain vessels.” Images on the vessels include couples and
children, ships and the sea, rocking chairs and umbrellas—some floating
in the air in something of an Edward Gorey-like manner. The images are
intimate, moody, and sometimes mysterious. Off-white vessels with mostly
black designs inked all over them look almost like large pieces of
scrimshaw. Steins, mugs and tea vases also serve as his canvas.
“I’ve always been a dedicated maker,” said Mr. Rainville, “I’ve been
very lucky to have been successful with both lines of work.”
Mr. Rainville said that for the show at Creative Hands he plans to bring
a few of his inkware pieces to show the breadth of his work, but because
of the season and the upcoming holidays, he’ll be bringing large serving
platters, bowls, mugs and other vessels for entertaining.
Mr. Rainville said he met Jim Irvine, owner of Creative Hands Gallery,
at one of his workshops. Mr. Irvine is a potter in his own right. Mr.
Rainville said he was pleased to be asked by Mr. Irvine to show his
pieces in the gallery. “He carries some powerful work.” (article from

*“Pirates of Penzance” at the Barnstable Comedy Club opened Thursday,
November 2, and continues through November 19, with shows on Fridays and
Saturdays at 7:30 PM and on Sundays at 2:30 PM. Tickets are $25 for
general admission, $22 for students and seniors age 62 and older.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or by calling 508-362-6333.*
*The last time the Barnstable Comedy Club performed a show by famed
British librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan was in 1999
when the club staged “HMS Pinafore” and so director Gwen Bainier is
hoping for a big turnout for the BCC’s run of “Pirates of Penzance.”* **
*“Pirates of Penzance, or The Slave of Duty,” was the fifth
collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan, and, along with “Pinafore”
and “The Mikado,” one of the duo’s most well known.*
**
*“Everything in the play is a joke,” said Ms. Bainier, who is directing
for the first time at the BCC. “Gilbert and Sullivan made fun of
everything.”*
**
*“Pirates of Penzance,” for those who haven’t had the pleasure of seeing
it yet, revolves around young Frederick, mistakenly apprenticed to a
band of luckless pirates many years ago by his well-meaning but
hard-of-hearing nursemaid. Having now reached his one-and-twentieth
birthday, he is eager to shed his allegiance to the pirates and devote
the rest of his days to hunting down his former fellow pirates with the
help of some reluctant police and the beautiful Mabel.*
**
*Although new to the BCC, Ms. Bainier has directed shows for both the
Cotuit Center for the Arts and the Cape Cod Theater Company (formerly
the Harwich Junior Theater). Ms. Bainier said that she became involved
with the BCC over the summer when her group Cape Cod Kids on Broadway
used the club for their summer programs. “Our summer programs are large
and we stage full-length musicals. The Barnstable Comedy Club is a great
venue for the kids; we were performing at a school before—it’s great for
them to perform on a real stage,” said Ms. Bainier, adding, “It’s a nice
collaboration.”*
**
*In addition to running the Cape Cod Kids on Broadway program, Ms.
Bainer, who lives in Ostervville, is a vocal and piano instructor.*
**
*Ms. Bainier explained that the BCC wanted to perform another Gilbert &
Sullivan and asked her to direct. Ms. Bainier said she chose “Pirates”
because she had performed it herself. “I really love it,” she said,
adding, “It’s really funny, and we all need a laugh.”*
**
*Casting for the show proved to be the most challenging aspect. Gilbert
& Sullivan productions have scores that Ms. Bainier described as
“vocally challenging.” Ms. Bainier said the cast she has assembled is
made up of performers who have sung professionally as well as those who
have only sung in community theater. “I’m happy with how the production
is looking so far,” said Ms. Bainier. “We have some great people in the
key rolls.”*
**
*Assisting Ms. Bainier with the production has been Rachael Kenneally.
Lisa Zinck Taylor is the show’s music director.*
**
*“It’s going to be a fun show to watch”, said Ms. Bainier. “The costumes
are amazing. Lots of bright colors.”*
**
*While the language in a Gilbert & Sullivan production can get a little
wordy for children (and even some adults), they will get the idea from
gestures and mannerisms that a character is silly. “There’s a lot of
action in the show. Lots of funny bits and silliness. It’s a great
family show,” said Ms. Bainier. “We’ve made sure there’s a lot going
on.” (article from the Falmouth Enterprise
