Ancram Opera House presents INVASION! a satirical comedy by Jonas Hasse n Khemiri, translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles, and directed by Jeffrey Mousseau. All performances take place at AOH August 5 - 21, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, and Sundays at 3 pm. "INVASION! is a subversive satire that constantly upends expectations and calls into question how we inherently view one another based upon a person's name or skin color," Mousseau explained. "And with increasing violence and harmful rhetoric in public spaces arising in response to America's shifting demographics, the play is as urgent today as ever." INVASION!'s satirical comedy centers on a name: Abulkasem. What is introduced as an amorphous word of many meanings spirals and shape-shifts into a kaleidoscopic range of identities. Abulkasem is an uncle visiting from Lebanon, a renowned theater director, an asylum-seeking apple picker, the world's most dangerous terrorist. In a whirlwind of interconnected vignettes, we search for the answer.

SHARON — Sharon Hospital has earned its initial Primary Stroke Center certification from The Joint Commission in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. This approval demonstrates the hospital’s commitment to meeting rigorous standards of care for stroke patients, an announcement from the hospital said. A Joint Commission certification team evaluated Sharon Hospital’s stroke program including diagnostic and treatment protocols, support services for patients and caregivers, and continuous clinical performance improvement measures. The independent reviewers determined that the hospital consistently achieves standards of care — such as safety, time to treat and patient education upon discharge from hospital — resulting in improved outcomes for stroke patients, the announcement said.
