If you’re a fan of Tish Hinojosa, you’re in seriously good company. Who does the beloved cantautora (That’s Spanish for singer-songwriter; Ms. Hinojosa says she loves the romantic lilt of the word.) count among her fans? Well, for starters there’s Linda Rondstadt, who once flew Ms. Hinojosa from Texas to her home in San Francisco. “She wanted me to play some songs for her, and she ended up liking Donde Voy,” the singer recalled in a phone interview from Boston this week, where she had just finished performing at an elementary school.
Singing Back the Darkness
It’s just a few nights before the darkest day of the year, at least in the earthly sense, when along comes this amazing experience, full of light in every way. It’s free buoyancy. It’s a way to put your sense of isolation in isolation. A way to get out of the noise of The Holidays and into the rhythm of your heart.
Improv is fun to perform. It’s fun to watch. But improv is not so groovy when looking for a space to strut your stuff. Let’s face it, comedy is tough enough without doing it in the dirt.
So it’s good news that Imp, the Island’s top-notch youth improv troupe, has a new home. It’s at the Space, the new exercise and perfoming arts center taking root at the Triangle in Edgartown across from the post office. The Space includes a 70-seat black box theater and this Friday, Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. Imp will be holding court at their new digs.
