Ille Arts on the Move

After four years at its current location in Amagansett, Ille Arts has announced that it has outgrown that space and will reopen in the spring across the street at 171 Main Street.

With perfect timing, Daniel Simone, author of the recently published “The Lufthansa Heist: Behind the Six-Million-Dollar Cash Haul That Shook the World,” will discuss the book and screen Martin Scorsese’s film “Goodfellas” on Sunday at noon at the East Hampton Library.

The case was in the news last week when Vincent Asaro, a reputed mobster, was acquitted of participating in the robbery. The cash and jewelry taken have never been recovered, and nobody has been convicted of the crime.

Mr. Simone’s book was co-written with Henry Hill, the mastermind of the robbery and a protagonist of “Goodfellas,” who died in 2012. Ed McDonald, the former U.S. Attorney in charge of the 1978 investigation of the robbery and an East Hampton resident, will join the discussion and answer questions from the audience.

The group, consisting of Song-A Cho on violin, Christopher Shaughnessy on viola, and Stephanie Iovine on cello, will be joined by Trudy Craney, a soprano, andThomas Bohlert on piano. The concert will open with Mozart’s Divertimento in E flat for string trio, after which Ms. Craney will sing two contrasting arias from Bach’s cantatas and two songs by John Jacob Niles, whose compositions bridge classical and folk. The program will conclude with a serenade for string trio by Erno Dohnanyi.

The suggested donation is $20, $10 for students.

Center Stage at the Southampton Cultural Center will present 10 performances of “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” starting tomorrow at 7 p.m. and continuing through Thanksgiving weekend.

Inspired by Frank Capra’s classic holiday film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Joe Landry, a Connecticut playwright, scaled it down for budgetary reasons when developing it for the stage. It premiered in 1996 at the Stamford Center for the Arts and is now performed dozens of times a year around the country.

While the play’s dialogue is taken almost verbatim from the film, the story is told entirely by the actors’ vocal skills, sound effects, props, and costumes, placing the audience at a radio station during a live broadcast in the 1940s.

Michael Disher will direct a cast of 15 or more. Other show times are Saturday at 2, 5 ,and 7 p.m., Sunday at 2 and 5, Friday, Nov. 27, at 5 and 7, and Nov. 29 at 2 and 5. Tickets are $20, $10 for students under 21.

Center Stage will also hold open auditions for its next production, Del Shores’s “Sordid Lives,” on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at 6 p.m. at the cultural center. Readings will be from the script, and latecomers will be seen at the discretion of the directors, Joan Lyons and Mr. Disher. Performances will happen over three weekends in January.

The Perlman Music Program will return to Shelter Island this weekend for two concerts at the Clark Arts Center. On Saturday at 5 p.m., Ariel Horowitz, a violinist and an alumna of the program, will perform a recital of Brahms, Chausson, Dvorak, Mozart, and Wieniawski, accompanied on piano by John Root.

Ms. Horowitz has won top prizes at the Stulberg and Irving M. Klein International String competitions and is currently studying at the Juilliard School with Itzhak Perlman and Catherine Cho. Tickets are $25, free for those 18 and under, and can be purchased from the program’s website.

Students and alumni of the program will present a free concert of classical masterworks on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Seating is first come first served; reservations are not required.
