Siul Hughes stands in the woods in East Rock Park. The green around him is as lush as can be. He’s a shadow by contrast, his sunglasses and teeth flashing from beneath a baseball cap. “What’s a man supposed to say when man can’t escape the manmade emotion, hate?” he raps. “I’m saying I’m a young man, I don’t want to grow too up. I’m a grown man, I don’t want to grow.” The scene cuts, and there’s a title on the screen: “Take your chances,” it reads, “or watch someone take them from you.”

Proposed neuroscience center at Sherman and George.
Buoyed by three approvals Monday night, Yale New Haven Hospital plans to move a 60-child daycare center to George Street and to expand a church-turned-medical office building on Sherman Avenue in order to make way for a new $838 million neuroscience center at its St. Raphael’s Campus.

Start with that set. It looks Scandinavian, maybe, with all those wooden planks for walls and floor, sort of an overgrown sauna. And there are plants hanging from above and a thin, curving tree downstage. We will hear birds and bugs and a cuckoo clock. And then there’s that single big armchair, on its side. We’re not sure if we’re inside the house or looking at a porch on the front of it. There’s a sliding door at the back that resembles a barn door.

Christopher.
According to tradition the Iliad — the first epic poem attributed to Homer — was the source of Greek drama, which is the source of all European theater and everything that derives from it. At Long Wharf Theatre through April 14, An Iliad, directed by Whitney White and adapted by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare from Robert Fagles’ translation of the poem, puts that idea into action on stage.
We watch a poem for one voice become a play with two actors — which was, according to Aristotle, the great innovation of Athenian drama, c. 460 BC, or about two centuries after Homer’s oral poem was first transcribed. It’s a rousing revisiting of theater in the making.

A plan to convert Long Wharf into five walkable neighborhoods connected by a stormwater greenway earned a key city sign-off — and praise for prioritizing coastal resiliency as a guide for economic development.
City Point’s Hatley, Larrivee and Wharton at Tuesday presser.
City Point’s Angela Hatley, Paul Larrivee, and Jonathan Wharton have been waiting decades for the city to turn Long Wharf into a vibrant, accessible waterfront neighborhood seamlessly connected to the Hill and Wooster Square.
Now they at least have a plan that starts a decades-long march toward that vision.

When you hear the term “Southern Gothic,” what do you think of? Racism, incest, misogyny, patriarchy, madness, suicide, a crumbling old house in which, at some level of symbolism, the white supremacist evils of the Confederacy eat away at the foundations of civilized society? Boo Killebrew’s Miller, Mississippi has it all, served up with a persistent backdrop of newscasts — from 1960 to 1994 — to help us keep track.

150 Sargent: No smart phone? No worries.
Don’t have a smart phone, but need access to primary care? Uber will still pick you up.
Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH) offered that peek at how transportation will work in its plan to close down three existing primary care services and relocate them to a consolidated facility on Long Wharf. The peek came in its latest update submission to the state as part of its bid to create the new facility.

150 Sargent: If you can’t get there by bus, YNHH will fund your Uber.
Yale-New Haven Hospital has decided that Uber rides will help car-less New Haveners make it to a planned new Long Wharf primary care center more reliably than shuttles or (obviously) local buses.

Williams.
Terminal 110 on Sargent Drive was already crowded Wednesday evening, the tables near the stage accounted for and the bar area bustling, when Anthony Williams stepped to the microphone.
“Time to network, maybe meet somebody,” he said. “Maybe you meet someone who’s struggling, tell them they’re going to make it. You never know.” He continued: “You had a bite to eat. You had something to drink. Now it’s time to feel the vibe.”

Stephen Tyrone Williams.
A man in a blue suit stands alone on a stage in a small club and begins to play the trumpet. His talent isn’t in question. He has a gift for the instrument. But the sound he makes speaks of frustration too, of running up against limitations, about wrestling with inner turmoil. There is a sense of the player reaching for something and not getting there, and knowing he’s not getting there. What is he going to do about it?

Tasha Lawrence (l) and Linda Powell (r).
A spacious kitchen and dining area with an attached living-room/porch, Dane Laffrey’s set stretches across the Long Wharf thrust space on a diagonal. We see a facsimile of a settled domestic space that looks realistic, though also entirely theatrical. That both-at-once quality is key to Jen Silverman’s The Roommate, a play about making new connections in middle age that uses unexpected turns and a subversive edge to unsettle its theme of the fraught path to friendship. We might feel we’re on comfortable, homey ground, but that might just be a façade.

A plan to redevelop Long Wharf into five new walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods is almost complete, laying the groundwork for a potential 20-year overhaul of the current sprawling, disconnected, and underused stretch of city waterfront.
