Stargazer, a film by Alan McIntyre, truly delves into the idea about what stories get to be told, how they are told, and most importantly for the films case, who gets to tell them? The story follows Grace, an undergraduate student desperate to tell the story of a forgotten astronomer named Cecilia, whose accomplishments were stolen by men and never brought to light as her own. Grace’s journey to share this story is complicated by Spike, a journalist looking to make the story his own, and Diana, a dancer who brings context about Ancient Greece, power, and the role of women to men. These two complicate Grace’s point of view, and makes her choose which she thinks is right, as Diana says in the film, she has to choose whether to “Fuck the man or say fuck you to the man”. Throughout the film, Grace’s journey is a search for clarity, self-discovery, and to find what role people play in telling other stories, and these decisions and answers are all complicated by Diana and Spike’s opposing forces.

The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "A Light To Come Home To" by Jersey roots rocker Lisa Bouchelle featuring Americana legends Amanda Shires and Larry Campbell.
Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Body Cast," the latest video from the North Jersey dynamic duo Tiny Cities.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
