Actress, television personality and arts activist Shirley Romaine will present “That Place, Those Times”, a program celebrating Long Island writers and poets on Saturday, May 10 at 3 p.m. at the Nassau County Museum of Art.
Each selection is about a particular person, time or place on the Island. Storytellers and poets from Walt Whitman, Ring Lardner and F. Scott Fitzgerald to some cutting-edge favorites reveal some surprising things about the human condition and the place where we live. There is music, too.
Romaine is very much a part of Long Island’s vibrant artistic community. As a performer, she has created original programs combining literature, visual art, music, dance, plays and poetry and is featured performer with Dance Visions, NYC. As a television personality, she has appeared on daytime and prime time television, is currently the host of the “Playwrights Project” for PATV and for 25 years was the host and producer of Cablevision’s “Artscene on Long Island.”
As an arts activist, she is co-chair of the Cinema Arts Centre and The North Shore Community Arts Council, a board member of The Gold Coast Arts Center and Dance Visions NYC. She was awarded the prestigious Outstanding Arts Activist Award by the Long Island Council for the Arts.
The Nassau County Museum of Art is at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor.
