  "The ship gets to the so-called New World about 20 minutes into the piece, and then it takes about 15 minutes to get up the river," said Patrick Wadden, the organization's co-founder and managing director, about the upcoming Arm-of-the-Sea performances at Tina Chorvas Waterfront Park in Saugerties tonight and Saturday.
  ...
  "It's the winds that kind of set the whole story in motion," Wadden said.
  ...
  Juet "was kind of a grumpy, cantankerous, not-to-be-trusted character really," Wadden said, "but he did record everything.
  ...
  The European adventurers "marveled at how peaceful the people were, what abundance they had and how pleasing the land was," Wadden said. On the other hand, during an exploratory mission, one mariner was killed, he said, and there were other encounters that did not go well.
  
  But, again, through puppetry - as well as voice-overs and music - the story is told in a stylized manner.
  
  "It's dramatic tension," Wadden said. "Both good and bad stuff happens. We don't make this up. Actually we leave out some of the worst parts."
  
  The visual impact of the presentation through three-dimensional puppets and masks up to 4-feet tall, Wadden said, is thanks to Marlena Marallo, artistic director and co-founder.
  ...
  "Even if the show is lousy, most things are lovely to look at," Wadden, who is also her husband, said with a laugh.
  
  The music is outstanding as well, he said, including songs sung by West Shokan resident Dennis Yerry, of Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) ancestry, who also arranged several traditional songs.
  
  "They're very beautiful vocals," Wadden said.
  ...
  Veteran performers Carl Welden, of Rosendale; Lily McNamara, of New Paltz; and Wadden, of Saugerties, animate the dozens of mask and puppet characters.
  ...
  The show, inspired by a complicated story and told in a simple way, is well-suited for all age groups, Wadden said. The events of 400 years ago, he said, lay the cultural groundwork for a free and diverse society in the state.
  
  "This is one of the founding narratives of New York history, this voyage," he said.
