T H E RIGHT N O T TO READ It is a mystery to me why people such as Ian Robertson continue to read columns written by journalists they find "infantile, vicious and shallow" [Weekly Mail, September 1]. Is it just so they can pen lengthy letters to the editor to show everyone how smart they are? I find Howard Stern quite offensive, vulgar and downright repulsive. So I choose to not listen to his radio show. Perhaps Mr. Robertson does not realize that he has the right to not read Peter Freyne's column. Maybe someone should tell him. At any rate, he clearly has too much time on his hands. Thank you for listening to my ranting. — Beth Glaspie Essex Junction
able to deal with this, if they can deal with the violence of the usual wars, murders and natural disasters that they see on the news. I hope that parents can teach their children to cope with the realities of the world, rather than simply shield them and hope that the world changes before they grow up. The freedom of expression is a wonderful thing. It would be horrible if we sterilized our discourse to a level that would present no confusing messages to small children. — Christopher Staffa Underhill
lined the roads and cheered us on despite the foul weather. Even the people in vehicles, who were held up by our passing, applauded and cheered. It was a communal event that has become a highlight of the summer for the locals. When we arrived in Montpelier, State Street had been blocked off to provide parking for all the motocycles, and we filled both sides and the middle. Ben & Jerrys provided ice cream lor all once again. The riders brought the toys to the children being treated for burns in the Burn Treatment Hospitals in Boston, Springfield and Montreal. Channel 5 covered the event; no WCAX or Free Press coverage. They don't do "biker stuff." Even Helen Riehle showed up for this photo op. So what's the scoop? Bad pun, bad coverage, or lack of it on your part! If this isn't news ol human interest, you people should seek some other career. Montpelier seems to be Freyne's beat, maybe there just wasn't enough muck to rake in this story.
N O T ENOUGH MUCK? Peter Freyne, your self-appointed caster of stones, takes great delight in abusing all the other media in the area for not reporting what he considers to be news that would be of interest to your readers. What constitutes a "good story?" At least by your standards? On August 21, over 600 motorcyclists joined together with the Shriners to celebrate "Christmas in August" for the 14th year. The weather was miserable, but that didn't deter these riders from all over Vermont, and some from as far as Kentucky, in celebrating this event. It was wonderful; as ususal the police blocked off part of 1-89, as well as the road from Barre to Montpelier. The local populace
N O CENSORSHIP Please do not censor your comic strips. While some may find the use of "fucking" in Ethan Green offensive ["The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green," August 25], it probably will not confuse an eight-year-old, nor cause any lasting harm unless parents hit their children when they repeat the word. The often overt violence of "Story Minute" will probably be more troubling to kids, but I think parents should be

Bernie Meets Castro! Jeffords on Drugs! Hell of a week so far. Under dark and gloomy skies, the Vermont G O P hit the fairway in their very first $ 1000-a-head golfing fundraiser, Bernie Sanders finally met eyeball-to-eyeball with Castro, and Jim Jeffords publicly admitted he's on drugs! According to the Vermont GOP's national committeeman, Skip Vallee, about 70 Republican hackers, er, golfers, whacked their little balls around Green Mountain National in Waterbury Tuesday. Despite the dreary weather, Vallee said the state party would raise around $80,000, before expenses. Skipper, Vermont's gas station guru (he operates the chain of Mobil Maplefield's mini-marts), was hustling golf tickets at a grand apiece, but apparently a sliding scale was invoked. We spoke with several G O P hackers who refused to pony up anything close to Vallee's "suggested price." Vallee told Seven Days that heavy hitters, like Rich Tarrant of IDX and Ken Squier of Thunder Road and Radio Vermont fame, pitched in a couple grand apiece even though they didn't participate. Nice to know some Republicans actually had to work on a Tuesday. And Skipper and company Y finally had something to crow about Tuesday. While they pitched and putted 'round the course, the left-wing socialist they love to hate — Independent Congressman .Bernie Sanders — was finally meeting face-to-face with Castro! Gotcha, Bernie. Cat's out of the bag. Caught "red"-handed at last! Unfortunately for Vallee and crew, Bernies meeting was with Ida Castro, not Fidel Castro. Ida chairs the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. OP Bernardo led a delegation in to see Castro Tuesday afternoon on the hot-button issue of the American workplace — corporate Americas sleazy new "cash balance" pension plans that have wiped away the retirement savings of a generation of loyal, hard-working baby boomers. In the process, tens of thousands of middleclass Americans who always showed up for work, gave their best and never rocked the boat, have suddenly wakened to the downside of plantation life in the Land of the Blue Chips, where CEOs like Lou Gerstner call all the shots. OP Bernardo's congressional posse wants the government to reverse the pension switcheroos of IBM and others because they blatantly violate the nation's age-discrimination laws. In this case, it's age discrimination against the mid-level, middleclass folks with 15 to 25 years of loyal service to the corporation, and kids in college. (Apologies to G O P state chair Patrick Garahan, but PBS' "News Hour" interviewed Sanders Friday on the pension scam for broadcast this week.)
Sanders' Town Meeting, IBM's Lord of Lords, Lou Gerstner, has declined Jeffords' invitation to participate. Instead, the Godfather of Big Blue is sending Tom Bouchard, a senior vice president for human resources, to testify. IRS legal counsel Stuart Brown will also testify. And several Vermonters from IBM Essex Junction are also on the list. You gotta wonder, with Jeffords of Rutland finally following Bernie of Burlington into the pension ripoff national media spotlight, will the Rutland Herald continue to downplay the story? Jeffords was back in Chittenden County Monday trying to grab a little of Sanders' spotlight on another issue that's raging these days — the prescription drug rip-off. Though his press conference was well-orchestrated, it was more about style than substance. Jeezum Jim used the tiny pharmacy in the professional building at Fanny Allen in Colchester for the backdrop, along with three advocates for the elderly who regularly appear on the Sanders press conference circuit as props. Jeffords announced his proposal to provide free prescription drugs to senior households with incomes under $22,000. It was such a transparent, knee-jerk proposal that even WGOP, er, sorry, WCAX, buried the story.
Track
O n the way in, however, Jeezum Jim was buttonholed by a customer departing the drug store with his prescription in a paper bag. Keith Blake, of Essex Junction, provided Vermont's junior senator with an up-close and personal example of the impact of pharmaceutical corporate greed. In the paper bag, he said, was his weekly prescription costing $150. You do the math.
PETER FREYNE
Tuesday, a story on the Dow Jones wire zeroed in on the political subtext: The current controversy also has a political dimension because speculation is rampant that Sanders, a political maverick who is highly popular in Vermont, may challenge Jeffords for his Senate seat in next year's elections. Jeffords, a moderate Republican, is considered vulnerable and the Senate GOP leadership is worried about his chances of survival. Sanders, who hasn't yet announced his intentions, quickly assumed a leadership role on the cash-balance conversion controversy, leaving Jeffords in a catch-up position on what has become a very high-profile issue in Vermont. Don't write off Jeezum Jim too early. The IBM pension issue is due to fall right into Chairman Jeffords' lap next Tuesday when the Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee holds a hearing on the matter. As was the case with
"I happen to have Crohn's disease," said Blake. "I'm disabled and this is a med that I can't go without." He said the pharmaceutical companies "are charging way, way too much money. They get paid by the government to run tests to come up with different meds, and then when they do, they put a high price on it. They're getting big pocketbooks while normal people like me are going broke." Later Jeffords told Seven Days he, too, is on a prescription drug regimen. He takes Celebrex, he said, for back pain resulting from a car accident injury two years ago. At least he's got good coverage. Jeezum Jim's health plan, he said, picks up the whole tab. Nice. Media Notes — You may have noticed an improvement in The Burlington Free Press Capitol Hill coverage of late. That's a direct result of the work of Erin Kelly, who covers Vermont's congressional delegation for the Gannett News Service. Erin's a southern California native. She was a metro reporter at the Orange County Register for eight years before signing on with Gannett in 1994. "I love Burlington. I was up there in May and could have stayed much longer," she told Seven Days. "Beats the heck out of summertime in D.C."

But the big news at 191 College Street this week is that veteran Free Press reporter Anne Geggis is finally coming "unchained." Ms. Geggis wraps up her 10-year sojourn at Vermont's Gannett-chain operation this Friday. She's off to Hurricane Alley in sunny Florida, where she'll be the crime reporter for the Daytona Beach News Journal. A decade ago Anne arrived in the Freeps' newsroom with her St. Mike's degree in journalism. She was the education reporter for many years and lately has been covering "exciting" South Burlington. Readers know Anne always reaches for a colorful and witty lead. Gotta be a few great novels in this Maeve Binchy fan. The Geggis going away party is Thursday at the Daily Planet. And like all her predecessors who've departed Burlington's daily, Anne will enjoy a dramatic increase in salary in her new job. Brilliant! ®

Sounds of Music
Expect Little Sympathy
T h e Warrawong shopping mall in New South Wales, Australia, said it has successfully discouraged teen-agers from loitering by repeatedly playing Bing Crosbys 1938 hit "My Heart Is Taking Lessons" at the mall entrance and using pink fluorescent lights that highlight pimples. • In Fort Lupton, Colorado, Municipal Judge Paul Sacco began sentencing violators of the town's noise ordinance to meet once a month to listen to music they don't like. Since most of the violators are teen-agers who play their car stereos too loudly, the court's play list includes classical selections, as well as popular numbers by Wayne Newton, Dean Martin, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Henry Mancini, John Denver, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Roger Whitaker and Jerry Vail. T h e worst selection was the "Barney" theme song, said Ryan Bowles, 21, adding, "If you laugh, they cite you for contempt."
Four men toting machine guns overpowered guards at a jail in Tremembe, Brazil, broke into the low-security facility and stole $28,000 that the 416 prisoners had earned doing jobs inside and outside the jail. "Bandits robbing convicts is just appalling," jail director Carlos Corade said. "There are no more values left among them."
• British tomato growers who used to hire people or use machines to shake plants to increase pollination found they get better results by blasting them with loud music. "Music with a strong beat is best," said Alan Parker of the Tomato Growers' Association.
Dump Welfare, Save Lives A new study links the deaths of poor Americans to the arrival of government benefit checks. Researchers from the University of California at San Diego found more homicides and deaths from accidents and substance abuse occur in the first week of the month than in the last week, especially among nonwhite, poor people who use drugs and alcohol. Sociologist David P. Phillips, the study's lead author, blamed the rise in deaths on the government's system of distributing welfare, Social Security and veterans' benefits at the start of the month.
Second-Amendment Folly A 36-year-old Washington, D.C., police officer found what he thought was his roommate's pager, but when he tried to turn it on by pushing a button, the device fired a bullet that went
through his hand and hit his shoulder. Investigators said the roommate, who is also a D.C. police officer, used the fake pager to conceal a small .22-caliber gun.
Be Seated A tumble-down public lavatory in London was sold at auction for $121,900. The London Evening Standard reported the buyer plans to convert the building in the Hackney district into two apartments. • Tokyo fire officials warned that toilets equipped with heated seats and automated warm-water bidets have caused at least four fires this year, all in models of the "Washlet" toilet found in 40 percent of Japanese homes. Leaking water and worn-out wiring were blamed. A spokesman for toilet maker Toto, which introduced the Washlet two decades ago, said not all older models are dangerous, but cautioned that the devices were good for only about 10 years of use and should be replaced at the first sign of trouble.

ed: Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's size 81/2s fit Rebecca DenHartigh "perfectly," the girl said, but jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis' size 9s were five sizes too small for William Karsten.
North of the Border Playing Footsies Thieves broke into a shoe store in Medellin, Colombia, and made off with 756 shoes, valued at $16,583. All were for right feet. T h e matching left shoes were locked in a storeroom. "That merchandise is now completely useless," store manager Jorge Hincapie said. " W h o is going to buy a shoe for just one foot?" • Twenty-five seventh graders at East Christian School in Kalamazoo, Michigan, were assigned to choose role models, write a paper about them and send it to them, along with a request for a pair of their shoes. "I was hoping this would give the students the opportunity to walk in someone's shoes and imagine what it would be like to be that person," language arts teacher Cindy Broekhuizen said. Only two role models respond-
Canadian television evangelist William Thiessen declared that his prayers had been answered when gold fillings miraculously appeared in his mouth. After his dentist pointed out that he was the one who had filled the teeth, Thiessen changed his story and said, "I now tell people to please check their dental records before they declare a miracle."
Red Means Go A rash of fatal carjackings and robberies prompted officials in Rio de Janeiro to grant drivers permission to run red lights at night. "You won't be fined if you go through a red light from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.," traffic department spokesperson Ivan Lima Alves said. "This is our way of dealing with the growing number of holdups at stoplights." ®

Many obstacles have been strewn in my path, etc., etc., but the truth is I signed the contract for Isadora in 1992* which is a

the occasional chirpy treatise on lifestyle, dogs, food, home decoration, "spirituality" and — my favorite — 50 Urgent Things You Need to Do Before the Millennium. In the meantime, Little, Brown-Warner is looking for a new name. I've suggested tens. O h a hunch* I checked t t o Wfeb ate ta m whit dihfct biagte- . phies they might be publishing these days. r That I'm still standing is a testament to the power of disbelief. This fall, Little, Brown has only three biographies on its list. One is a book about Andy Kaufman, written by a friend, which promises to expose the late, weird comedian's "myriad sexual fetishes." Another is "the most perceptive portrait yet" of Bruce Springsteen. And a third is the autobiography of Gloria Stuart, the old dame in Titanic, written "with" someone and proudly announcing that Ms. Stuart is "the oldest person ever to receive an Academy Award nomination." Ms. Stuart at least has the advantage of having been a star in Hollywood's golden age, and "peppers her memoir with memorable anecdotes about Groucho Marx, Dorothy Parker, Charlie Chaplin, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart" and so on. But I fear for Isadora. Cribbing a line from Winston Churchill, I fear greatly.
of the Mother of odern Dance is a m must tor Madonna fans!
That she would be driving alone I did not doubt: T h e kids W would be at soccer, and, what with the booming market, Dad never gets home before 9 or 10 at night. There are so many yuppie wives driving empty aircraft carriers these days I felt sure that Ms. Blume was among them. Wrong, as Voltaire once said. Lo and behold, a card comes from Ms. Blume — a lovely, handmade card with a colorful border and my words quoted at the top: "I'll bet she drives an SUV." Beneath it is a picture of Ms. Blume, dressed fetchingly in jeans and a T-shirt, smiling and waving her hand from the back of a pickup. I confess I can't tell the make of the truck Ms. Blume is standing in, but it looks well used. It's a sign of her considerable appeal that my cat licked her picture from top to bottom when I left it on my desk.
And that's not all. Inside, Ms. Blume urges me to "keep up the good work," and even extends her warm greetings to my partner, John. "A thousand, thousand pardons," she writes. "I had no idea how difficult it is being you." Well, bless your heart, Ms. Blume! I was so mistaken about this nice lady that I've begun to question all my assumptions. Laugh if you want, but the world has changed a lot since I was part of it. I've been holed up in this study writing about Isadora Duncan for so long I can barely remember who she
long time even for a biographer. In general, publishers don't like it when you fail to deliver. The only excuse is death, and it has to be your own. My own publisher, anyhow, the late, great Little, Brown & Co., has finally lowered the boom, raised the axe, flipped the hourglass, or whatever publishers do now to show authors they mean business. They tell me they're listing Isadora in the Fall 2000 catalog whether I'm done or not, which means I won't get any sleep between now and next June. N o publishing firm is the same as it was eight years ago, and Little, Brown less so than most. W h a t was once a stately, independent house on Bostons Beacon Hill is now ensconced on the 11 th floor of the Time-Life building in New York, just up or down from its sister operation, Warner Books. If you put Time-Life and Warner together, unfortunately, you get Time Warner, in whose vast entertainment stables I am now a tiny plop in the straw. Little, Brown and Warner Books are all but fully merged, sharing management, sales force and "market strategy," which apparently consists of publishing nothing but steamy novels, picture books, celebrity tell-alls, sports memoirs and money manuals, with

In breathtaking detail, Kurth recounts little-known facts about Isadora's passionate love affairs with Oscar Beregi, Gordon Craig, Paris Singer, Walter Rummel, Sergei Essenin and upwards of six divisions of the Red Army." So you see, Ms. Blume, it's even worse than you think. What's that? Will I finish on time? Oh, no, Ms. Blume! You know what Ben Bradlee says: "To determine how long it will take to write a book, figure out how long it should take, double it, and add six months." There's got to be a way out of this. (7)

BY ERIK ESCKILSEN f all the catastrophes predicted for the new millennium, the return of the British Empire hasn't come up. Until now. A look at the upcoming year in theater — assuming the power doesn't go out for good, come Y2K — shows that all the Green Mountain world's a British stage. Well, a lot of it, anyway. Blame it on Shakespeare. He had to go and get named Man of the Millennium in a BBC Radio Channel 4 poll. And they wouldn't put it on the radio if it weren't true, would they? You might be saying, it figures the Brits would pick him. But, difficult as it may be to admit, this time they've won. Shakespeare is going to be huge this season. In fact, he's already settled in. This summer saw a Vermont Stage Company Production of The Tempest, a Weston Playhouse Theatre Company production of Twelfth Night and a Champlain Arts Theatre Company crack at Macbeth that redefined the term "poetic license." I take that back. White River Junction-based Northern Stage's current run of A Midsummer Night's Dream (Briggs Opera House, Sept. 9-26) — set in a Prohibition-era Harlem speakeasy — is the one that might make the Bard turn over in his grave. With the help of medievalist and costume designer Kenneth Anders and New York's Riverside Shakespeare Company executive director Ann Harvey, Montpelier's Lost Nation Theater mounts a more historically accurate version of the history play Richard III (Sept. 23 - Oct. 10) at their City Hall Arts Center venue. If, when the curtain goes up, the stage isn't jumping with Elizabethan men in tights and codpieces, then at least someone will be speaking in a highfalutin British accent. The recent popularity of Shakespeare in Lave and its co-writer Tom Stoppard deserve some credit for offering what one NPR commentator called Shakespeare's "highlight reel." Irish dramatists have also been in vogue lately — in Vermont as well as on Broadway and the silver screen. So, if Shakespeare is the Man of the Millennium, then the Character of the Millennium would have to be King Lear. At least Champlain College Director ofTheater Don Rowe thought so when he picked the play and cast himself in the title role (Alumni Auditorium, Nov. 11-13, 19 &C 20). Rowe will direct and star in the tale of an aging King of England who descends into madness amidst betrayal and political intrigue. But Rowe's own future looks secure. Developments at the college — especially the increase in students staying on to complete four-year degrees — have bolstered his fledgling drama program. King Lear will return to town — with London's acclaimed Aquila Theatre — when the University of Vermont's George Bishop Lane Series stages a production (Flynn Theatre, April 11). According to series manager Natalie Neuert, the relationship with Aquila — a troupe trained at some of England's most prestigious theater academies — is a good fit with the series' commitment to classical theater, During their residency, Aquila will also pay theatrical credit where its really due in their staging of Greek dramatist Sophocles' Oedipus the King (Flynn, April 12) — the tale of a man battling fate on a quest for identity and immortality. St, Michael's College also pays homage with Euripides' The Bacchae (McCarthy

f summer '98 was the season of The Flood — in which nearly every outdoor concert or festival got rained out — this one will go down in history as both the Summer of The Drought and the Summer In Which Nobody Tried Anything New. Ben & Jerrys One World One Heart, the Vermont Reggae Festival and a few other stalwarts were right on schedule — not to mention hot and dry. But absent were any efforts from out-of-state promoters, and All Points Booking and Magic Hat decided not to turn on the light at Charlotte's Old Lantern, site of a concert series the two previous summers. Happily, Mother Nature is of little concern to presenters with a roof over their heads — The Flynn Theatre, the Onion River Arts Council, the Hopkins Center and Middlebury College among them. Oh, sure, performers can drive into snowbanks, and a storm might blow out the power mid-song. But even the weather is less capricious than the ticket-buying public can be. That's why it's always of interest to pore over programs for the new performing arts season: Those glossy brochures hold clues to both what presenters think the public will like and pay for, and what is currently touring these United States — or at least our corner of it. As usual, the season promises an array of musical talent mostly in the rootsy vein — indigenous traditions from bluegrass to salsa to jazz to klezmer to drumming — from cultures all over the world. Well, not all over: There's a conspicuous lack of Australian punkpolka from the outback and juggling Gregorian chanters from Kurdistan. Oh, well. Maybe next year. What is coming, though, will surely keep most of the music fans happy at least some

aul Zaloom doesn't take kindly to the notion that his art has a message. "I'm not Western Union," he demurs, speaking by phone from Los Angeles, where he lives when he's not in Vermont. "I'm not passing notes around." Semantics aside, in Zalooms upcoming performances — an adult-oriented live animation piece tentatively titled "Slumberyard" (Onion River Arts Council, Barre Opera House, Sept. 27), and the more kid-friendly "Beakman Live" (Hopkins Center, Sept. 28) — hokey special effects and twisted comedy are enlisted to enlighten audiences even as they entertain. And Zalooms not the only one. For patrons who prefer the iconoclastic to the classical, and the bizarre to the baroque, this years season is chockfull of one-of-a-kind appearances in which glitz, gore or guffaws dress up dead-serious intent.

arketing hooks are few and far between in the world of classical, or "art" music. So performing arts presenters do what they can — as parodied at a recent conference recalled by Hopkins Center Director of Programming Margaret Lawrence. "You'll love our Hubba Hubba Haydn series. All of our performers have long legs and spaghetti straps." Glamorous German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter (Feb. 19) will certainly live up to that sales pitch, but she's playing Stravinsky, Ravel, Respighi and Part in her rare Hop performance. Despite the occasional diva, and three steamy operas bound for Burlington, classical music still lives largely in the black-and-white land of batons and bow ties. Luckily, though, history is on its side. Drawing on six centuries of material, written by mostly dead composers, any given year is always the anniversary of something. This year it's the 250th anniversary of Bach's death — good enough reason for a fugue or two or 11. Chopin is also front and center, for dying exactly 150 years ago. Copland — a relative youngster in this company — is being feted for his birth in 1900. "Of course we are celebrating these composers all the time," says Lawrence, "but the anniversaries give us an excuse to organize special activities. If the result is we get to hear the music in a deeper way, within a framework, I'm all for it." So is music theorist Edward Aldwell, whom Lawrence describes as 11 the Bach pianist, period." After ,

PAUL ZALOOM strain that escaped from the Bread and Puppet laboratory," was doing "other" long before it was recognized as a legitimate genre. Zaloom is known to the world as the nutty-professor host of "Beakman's World," the Emmy-nominated kids' show that ran six seasons on CBS-TV and has been adapted for the stage show at the Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College. The idea of the program is to "make people laugh and teach children about science," Zaloom savs. At the Barre performance, audiences will see the edgier, farther-off-the-wall side of the artist, who attended Goddard College and served for years as ringmaster of the Bread and Puppet Circus. Billed as a "solo-puppet performance" —- Zalooms tenth — "Slumberyard" is actually a low-tech, high-kitsch extravaganza in which the performer uses an old overhead projector, a collection of found objects and a series of specially commissioned black-velvet paintings to tell a manic, surreal tale involving, among other things, Hollywood, wastefulness, the 2000 Republican National Convention and dentists. One vignette uses a black-velvet painting of the Last Supper commissioned from the same artist who created Rob Zombie's latest video. "It's my 33rd birthday and I'm radiant," Zaloom expounds. "Everyone wants to sit next to me. We're having brunch — one of those all-you-can-eat things — and we've eaten all the food in the world. I really want to do something about food waste, how casual we are about food waste and how much that irritates me." Another issue that sticks in Zalooms craw — and finds its way into his current piece — is how people waste water. He makes his point using a pair of tubes — one toilet paper, one test. A message? For sure. But delivered with enough bad taste and good humor to go down nice and easy. "I'm basically a full-on panderer," Zaloom acknowledges. "I want people to laugh.

Bach stock this season. Acting conductor Jamie Laredo will play a mean Double Violin Concerto with fellow fiddler Malcolme Lowe at the Flynn (March 10 & 11). It's the first time we'll see Laredo on the podium, too, after a busy summer at Hunter Park in Manchester. Although he is sitting out the first three Flynn concerts, and the "Made in Vermont" fall tour, Laredo is expected to have a more permanent-sounding job title by spring. That may be good news for Bach fans. Laredo prefers German, Austrian and Italian composers over the British ones favored by his predecessor, Kate Tamarkin, making him more of a "traditionalist," according to symphony director Alan Jordan. But this year in particular Laredo seems to be taking a special interest in American musicmakers. Along with the Bach and Beethoven, he's got Barber booked. Otherwise, it's all about Aaron Copland.
PAPPA TARAHUMARA
y
wowing Middlebury audiences several years ago, he is bach, er, back, playing "Fugues and Suites" (Hop, Jan. 11) and "Goldberg Variations" (Lane Series, March 29). Both are excellent opportunities to hear the inner workings of Bach — endless variations on a musical theme played out to its fullest potential. "Anal," confirms Lane Series director Jane Ambrose, who is teaching a course on the prolific Baroque master. Ironically, the Lane Series is also presenting "The Fugues," but with the Keller String Quartet (Recital Hall, April 5) — no small feat considering Bach didn't give any instrumentation for the piece. The Western Brass Quintet is doing fugual selections for the Vermont Mozart Festival on October 15. Middlebury is going for the Goldberg, with Garrick Ohlsson at the piano (April 16). Two days later, Ohlsson plays Liszt, Chopin and Bach at the Hop. Repetition? Bach would call it a thorough study of the subject. All that piano — and we haven't even started to talk about Chopin tributes — may find you yearning for the soothing sound of strings. Matt Haimovitz is performing all of J.S. Bach's unaccompanied cello suites in an intimate, three-hour-plus concert (Hop, Jan. 9) — a massive undertaking that he will thereafter export overseas, on a concert tour of Europe. The Vermont Symphony Orchestra is also buying
ou can count on an early "Appalachian Spring" this year. In January, symphonies all over the States will start celebrating a quintessential American composer born a century ago in Brooklyn. Vermont starts things off with Copland's "Old American Songs" (VSO, Jan. 28 & 29). Five months later, "You can sit back, close your eyes and think of all those sweeping fields of grain," Jordan says of the Tender Land Suite (May 12 and 13). "It is very Americana — expansive, beautiful and lush." Until The Second Hurricane blows through — Copland's seldom-heard opera will be performed by the Middlebury College department of music on January 26. In the '30s, Copland strove to "reconnect his music with the concerns of everyday life in America," according to the concert brochure, with "a message of community spirit and cooperation in the face of natural disaster." Middlebury College is charging Depression-era prices for that one — it's free. The top ticket price for The Magic Flute, on the other hand, is 51 bucks (Lane, Feb. 25). That may seem like a lot if you're buying more than one, but it's still a bargain
compared to what you pay in New York. The Lane Series is presenting three operas in Burlington this year — no doubt a sign of the booming economy Going mobile means moving monumental sets, big egos and, in the case of all three shows, a full-scale orchestra. It's a maiden voyage to Vermont for Teatro Lirico D'Europa, the Italian opera company performing Turnadot— Puccini's final, and some say finest, opera (March 22). Set in Peking, it tells of an eligible emperor's daughter whose suitors must answer three riddles — or die. The lighter Barber of Seville, performed by the New York City Opera (April 17), takes a lighter look at romantic love. Ditto The Magic Flute, which will be sung in English. "With a little bit of advance work, any child should be able to understand it," Ambrose says. The Shanghai Kunju Opera Theater might be a bit more challenging (Hop, Feb. 1), but you can always watch the gymnastics. Like the Peking Opera, this Chinese troupe uses highly stylized music and movement to tell ancient stories in the Asian operatic tradition. Interestingly, "The Peony Pavilion" is one of them — the very same story upon which Chinese theater artist Chen Shi-Zheng based his last controversial work. His new piece, Forgiveness, is coming to the Flynn March 18. Asian art is all over Vermont this year, from the Japanese dance-theater piece Pappa Tarahumara (Hop, Sept. 23 & 24; Middlebury, Sept. 26 & 27) to "Music from China" — a six-member ensemble of virtuoso musicians who mix classical Chinese tunes with ultra-contemporary compositions (Hop, Oct. 19). This may be the influence of the Freeman Foundation, which makes funds available for such programs, oi; of "diverse students having access to classical music instruction," as Lawrence suggests. Either way, the days of the all-white male string quartet — and piano trio — are over.

booked at the H o p (Oct. 9). T h e Paris Piano Trio are getting around (Vt. Mozart, Feb. 20; O n i o n River Arts Council, Feb. 26). And "we've got one — the Vermeer" (Middlebury, Jan. 15), says Paul Nelson, who programs the Middlebury College Concert Series. "Old white guys aren't bad," he adds. "That's my view." But he does acknowledge increasing interest in "expanding our horizons" to include non-western musical traditions. "There is fabulous music from the rest of the world and we are delighted to be presenting it." T h e 70-member Carl Nielsen Philharmonic (Flynn & Lane, Oct. 27) is not exactly multi-culti, but it is the biggest symphony to come through Burlington since the Czech Philharmonic almost a decade ago. Traveling orchestras do not typically stop in Vermont — they are too expensive to present — but the Danish government supports this one in the city of Odense, and has underwritten a portion of the tour. T h a t means we are definitely going to hear Nielsens 4th Symphony, which Ambrose describes as "the Danish equivalent of the Beethoven 5th." Comparing him to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, she says, "You get a feeling of the northern nature of the music in a way you can never put your finger on. There is this Scandinavian thing." There is also this Russian thing — awardwinning pianist Lilya Zilberstein is the featured soloist in the concert. " T h e question was, do you want her to play the Prokofiev 3rd, and we said, ' O h , yeah,'" Ambrose recalls. "To have the Russian and the Danish on the same program really appealed to me."

if the band shows up, classical music presenters often have some say in selecting what gets played on stage. Ambrose is not shy about making suggestions. "I said, ' O h , please, please, can we have the Ives?"' she says, remembering how she convinced the Lydian String Quartet to add Quartet No. 1, by Charles Ives, to an already unusual program (Lane, Feb. 16). T h e February concert features a contemporary piece by Lee Hyla, co-commissioned by the Lane Series and the Hopkins Center. Contracting a composer to write a new piece is the ultimate thrill for an arts presenter — it goes beyond just booking an event to facilitating an act of creation, with money or donated rehearsal space. T h e V S O commissioned Jorge Martin to write "Romance for Orchestra," as part of the upcoming "Made in Vermont" series (Sept. 22 - Oct. 3). Calling it an "annual activity," Jordan STEVE REICH'S HINDENBURG says the symphony is looking for a collaborator who can work next year with Vermont bury composer Su Lian Tan. State Poet Ellen Voigt.

SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK of the time. The season brings much-loved familiar acts like a capfella humorists The Bobs (Hopkins Center, Sept. 25) and Sweet Honey in the Rock (Flynn, Dec. 10) — the Washington, D.C.-based vocal group is celebrating its 25th year of sweet-and-sassy music. Versatile violinist Mark O'Connor — seen with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra a couple of seasons back — returns to Vermont with a tribute to the music of great jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli (Middlebury College, Oct. 13), and Duke Ellington comes to life courtesy of members of the virtuosic Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with music director Nicholas Payton, vocalist
Dianne Reeves and saxophonist Joe Lovano (Flynn, Oct. 9). Music shows its most foreign roots in sounds from the other hemisphere: the trance-inducing Sufi Music of Pakistan with Mehr and Sher Ali (Middlebury, Oct. 6), and the equally mesmerizing thunder of Koreas SamulNori (Flynn, May 3) — the four-piece percussion band is as compelling visually as it is aurally. Of course, there are also a few curveballs ahead: With The Bobs come a relatively unknown nowgeneration handful called F'loom. The New York trio combines vocal gymnastics with a post-modern

sion." Forget politics; these guys are here to par-ftr. Only slightly less fiery is the remarkable pairing of Peruvian vocalist Susana Baca and beloved Angolan singer Waldemar Bastos (Hop, Oct. 30), who share African cross-fertilized roots and passionate pop sensibilities. South America sends up two of its most famous classical guitarists, the Assad Brothers (Flynn, March 31) — Sergio and Odair, from Brazil. The duo play contemporary music in a classical style, if that means anything — it does to composers worldwide who have written pieces for them. The brothers will also give a master class while in Burlington. But as good as the Assads are, they may not have much over the players at the Lane Series season opener, the International Guitar Night (Ira Allen Chapel, Oct. 15), featuring Americans Brian Gore and Windham Hill icon Alex De Grassi, Spanish Nuevo Flamenco master Gerardo Nunez and AfroBrazilian jazz great Paulo Bellinati. From not-so-far-south of the border come passions of a different order. New York poet-performance artist Sekou Sundiata (Hop, Jan. 22) weaves his smoky baritone through the urban-cool jazz of his seven-piece Rock of Edges Band. From New York, too, comes the Harlem Spiritual Ensemble (Hop, April 25), whose revival of Negro spirituals reaches operatic heights and plumbs emotional depths. That old-time religion gets another boost from the mighty Campbell Brothers, performing sacred-steel gospel with the powerhouse singer Katie Jackson (Flynn, Feb. 12). No slouch in the soul department, the cult-fave Geoff Muldaur opens that show with a virtuosic display of blue-eyed blues.
f Latin lovers have a heat advantage, northerners have done their part to compensate for lousy weather. The proof will be on local stages this winter with musical offerings from FrenchCanadian, Irish, Eastern European and American traditions. The Lane Series gets a blue ribbon for bringing back the Quebe^ois-Cajun gumbo of Ad Vielle Que Pourra (Feb. 11) — packing hurdy-gurdies, accordions, bagpipes and more, they were a hit at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival. The Lane (co-presenting with the Flynn) also scored with Altan on St. Paddys Day, 2000. One of the most highly touted, and best loved, groups from the Old Country, Altan features the pure soprano of singer Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh and some ferocious fiddling. The Irish-American Solas

(ORAC, Feb. 11) get a head start, though, with their masterful and rollicking display of Eire at the Barre Opera House. Dirty Linen says vocalist Karan Casey possesses "one of the best voices performing traditional songs today." Oh, to hear Karan and Mairead together. While the French, Anglos and Irish developed their sound, an equally distinctive one emerged in Appalachia: bluegrass. ORAC presents one of the last true originals of the genre, Ralph Stanley with his Clinch Mountain Boys (Oct. 16). Stanley, with his late brother Carter Stanley and the legendary Bill Monroe, set the standard for that "high lonesome sound," and the 72-year-old singer still conjures images of rural America when he lets fly with that mountain-mournful voice and ringing banjo. On the list of distinctive musical traditions, Jewish klezmer would certainly be near the top. This season offers not one but two outstanding purveyors of the genre. The Andy Statman Quartet (Flynn, Feb. 20; Hop, Feb. 22) turns tradition on edge with klezmer-flavored improvisational jazz. One of the pioneers of "newgrass" with David Grisman and Bela Fleck, Statman calls on his own heritage to produce "neo-klezmorim" that is both haunting and joyous. Malina notes that "we've got him to do a klezmer set and a Jewish mystic set." Comparing him to the great John Coltrane, Malina says it has become important to Statman "to rediscover the Jewish, Hasidic roots, unearthing ancient melodies and reinventing it." For inspiration, Statman surely spins the good old New Orleans Klezmer Allstars (Catamount at Lyndon State, March 24), who serve a fine — and irreverent — stew of Eastern European klezmer and Crescent City funk. Catamount Arts brings folk to Northeast Kingdom folks with a series at Lyndon State College, starting off with Rick Danko (Oct. 23) — the former vocalist for The Band goes unplugged. Lou and Peter Berryman (Nov. 14) bring their uniquely entertaining pastiche referred to as "Woody Guthrie, Gilbert & Sullivan, Tom Lehrer and post-nuclear polka"; and next spring string wizards Peter Ostroushko & Dean McGraw (April 1) show why they're frequent guests on NPRs "A Prairie Home Companion." Folk carries on in Middlebury with the After Dark Music Series, now in its fourth year at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Devoted organizer Carol Green notes that a nonprofit group is in the process of raising money to restore the Hall to better theater

status, including expanding the seating from its current 200 to 350, and creating a space that will accommodate not only After Dark but community theater and other events as well. "It's a real town effort from people who like this kind of music," Green says, adding that she has an alternative venue in mind during the renovations. After Dark kicks off this fall with the Zen-Texan twang of Jimmie Dale Gilmore (Oct. 17), followed by the ever-popular Greg Brown (Nov. 7 & 8); the Celtic couple Connie Dover & Roger Landes (Nov. 26); favorite returnees Garnet Rogers (Nov. 27), Chris Smither 0an. 8) and David Mallett; and the fresh face of Stacey (sister of Steve) Earle (Feb. 19). Green says that since she books a six-month season, there's no problem coordinating bookings with the Burlington Coffeehouse. Organizer extraordinaire Jeff Miller puts out schedules a month at a time, mixing touring folkie regulars with a smattering of local singersongwriters. This month the cozy Rhombus space offers up the familiar — Brooks Williams (Sept. 17) — with the new-to-Burlington Stacey Earle (Sept. 24) and Bob Franke (Sept. 25). Near-future shows include Colleen Sexton (Oct. 2); Ellis Paul (Oct. 24); Del Wray (Nov. 6); and Margo Hennebach with Mark Saunders (Nov. 26).

swing dance lessons continue to pack 'em in. Speaking of deejays, that scene has quietly — well, not so quietly — become a scene in Burlington.

image if a fleet-footALVIN AILEY that headlock. The 41-year-old choreographer makes dances that emphasize physicality, but without sacrificing structure or invention. When his company took up residence at the Flynn in July, they demonstrated their versatility, and good humor, by hosting a swing dance cabaret at Magic Hat. The dancers were holed up in Burlington working on a new piece, Sleeping With Giants, that will show February 5 at the Flynn. Set to a harpsichord concerto by Michael Nyman, of The Piano fame, it's a multi-media work that incorporates visuals by Wendell Harrington, who designed the projection in The Who's Tommy on Broadway. See it. Hear it. You know the rest... Donald Byrd and dancers benefitted from similar hospitality at the Hopkins Center last year. But when it was all ready to go, the resulting Jazz Train left Hanover for points north. Flynn Theatre-goers got a look at the ; three-part jazz tributes last March. Upper Valley audiences get on board January 14 &C 15. Set to music by Max Roach, Vernon Reid and Geri Allen, "the first piece is very Bob Fosse," Lawrence explains. "The second is set in a kind of Greek temple, with women in little frilly tunics. It is very funny. And the third morphs from a juke joint into an African scene and then comes back again." If that sounds Alvin Ailey-esque, it is. Byrd, known for his Harlem Nutcracker, trained with the late, great African-American choreographer and made a number of dances for his company. You can

catch the second string of that powerful com pan y - Alvin w j | j Alley Repertory Ensemble — when its troupers-intraining swing through Vermont for a show at the Barre Opera House (Onion River Arts Council, April 13). Another North Country coup is Garth Fagan Dance. Catamount Arts snagged the Tony Award-winning choreographer of The Lion King for a performance February 6. Indigenous African dance is also heading this way. The 30-member National Song and Dance Company of Mozambique (Hop, March 28; Flynn, April 14) formed shortly after the coastal nation won independence from Portugal, less than a quarter-century ago. Listen for Latin influences in the dexterous drumming that accompanies warrior, ceremonial and harvest dances. And if you can't wait until April to shake your booty, head north to Montreal. African dance is the theme this year of the International Festival of New Dance (Montreal, Sept. 28 Oct. 9). The biennial event, which has been only slightly hobbled by a strike at the Place des Arts, features seldom-seen dance companies from South Africa, Burkina Faso and the Ivory Coast. Canada is well represented, of course, by choreographers such as Ruth

Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker and her Rosas company will also be in Montreal, presenting the North American premiere of Just Before. A few days later she and her company head south to Burlington with a slightly more seasoned work, Drumming, set to a 28-year-old score by Steve Reich (Flynn, Oct. 13). Those who saw her company last time at the Flynn — I still remem ber the straightbacked chairs
Toccata — will be happy to know the new work is chock-full of fabulous, high-energy dancing. In order to make room for it all, the Flynn has to remove several rows of seats

trick they have not tried since Joe. More challenging for action-oriented dance watchers will be two multi-media Asian endeavors that incorporate some dance: Forgiveness (Flynn, March 18) combines elements of Chinese, Japanese and Korean forms of expression to make a powerful political statement. Pappa Tarahumara, an eveninglength work by Japanese choreographer Hiroshi Koike, packs a postmodern message (Hop, Sept. 23 & 24; Middlebury College, Sept. 26 & 27). „ ^ Lawrence saw Pappa two years ago in Tokyo, and was impressed by the surreal spectacle, which incorporates large slide projections, onstage sculptures and dialogue that touches on themes of comfort, fear and the seasons. As organizer of the U.S. tour, Lawrence promises Spring Day is faster-paced than the traditional Japanese butoh dance practiced by troupes like Sankai Juku. But it may still be too taxing for your typical attention-deficit-disordered American audience. Which is too bad. As those Eastern sages know better than anyone, some things are worth waiting for. ®

Continued from page 8 Arts Center, Nov. 4-6, 11-13), a rumination on mass hysteria and obsession, with some experimental choreography by Kate Kennedy. The Lane Series begins the new millennium with Macbeth (Flynn, Jan. 23), performed by another perennial touring group, the Acting Company of New York City. According to Neuert, the dark shades of the series offerings haven't scared anyone off. O n the contrary, Macbeth is already generating buzz. "We're selling a lot of student tickets," she says, "I can see why it's appealing. It's got a lot of action, and it moves right along. It also happens to be Shakespeare's shortest play." The Bard is big on campuses all over the region this year. The Dartmouth College Drama Department stages the whimsical Twelfth Night (Hopkins Center, Nov. 11-13, 17-21) before tackling a radical adaptation of The Tempest. Playwright Aime Cesaire's A Tempest {Feb. 17-19, 24-27) — notice the slight distinction — features a troupe of black actors performing their own tempest, drawing on contemporary Caribbean society and African mythology to raise questions about colonialism, racism and their lasting effects. Not to be outdone, the University of Vermont Department of Theatre will stage the romantic comedy As You Like It (March 1-4, 9-12) at Royall Tyler Theatre. The Reduced Shakespeare Company has performed abbreviations of the Bard in the past, but their new show, The Complete Millennium Musical (Abridged) (Flynn, Oct. 21), focuses more narrowly on, oh, the major scientific, cultural and historical milestones of the past 1000 years. Flynn Artistic „ Director Arnie Malina says to expect everything from "Joan of Arc to the Spanish Inquisition to cloning sheep to the Y2K bug."
it is clearly the coin of the realm in a number of more contemporary British works. Before you can say "Tom Stoppard," it's out to Waking Ned Devine country for the Northern Stage production — and the New England premiere — of Irish playwright Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane (Briggs, Sept. 30 - Oct. 17). The comic drama about a young rural Irish woman who finally finds love — if only her mother would stay out of the way — bagged four Tony Awards, among other accolades, in 1998 and thrust McDonagh into the spotlight. Northern Stage will go with the flow, and with the play that put Tom Stoppard on the map, when they stage his highbrow riff on Shakespeare's lowly bit players, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead {Nov. 11-28). The Hopkins Center gets into the Irish act with an updated production of the 1916 Emerald Isle chestnut The Whiteheaded Boy (Sept. 30 - Oct. 1). The four mem-, hers of Dublin's Barabbas theater company play 12 characters in this farce about a boy who flunks out

of college, forcing his family to concoct elaborate schemes to save face. It must be a college-town thing, because the Flynn Theatre mounts the show October 2. UVM's theater department plays the British parlor drama straighter with Sandra Fenichel Asher's stage adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma (Royall Tyler, Sept. 29 & 30, October 1 & 2, 7-10). This just may be the date play of the season as Emma Woodhouse, "handsome, clever and rich," tries to fix her friend up with all the wrong people. Better not make that a blind date. Not only are the British great exporters of iambic pentameter, witticisms and young women's novels, but they're musical, too. The Champlain College spring production, Oh, Coward! (Alumni, April 8-10, 15 & 16), provides a jolly good example with the musical revue of what Rowe considers Noel Coward's "best songs and very witty excerpts from his plays and autobiographies."
r
eally, though, it's unfair to fix the entire season on the British. There's more than a little millennium madness driving programming for the foreseeable future. Producers may call it something else, but the turn to 2000 has put people in a nostalgic mood. Even if theater companies aren't mining the past for a "best of the millennium" season — or, as Hop Director of Programming Margaret Lawrence tried, to "avoid the M word" — many programmers have nonetheless chosen works that have stood the test of time. If you were to ask people in the U.S., Russia and France who their Playwright of the Millennium is, you might get a lineup like the one in the Dartmouth College shortplay showcase Caught in the Act!

An echo might best describe the effect of two upcoming productions of the Cole Porter musical Anything Goes. The Flynn Theatre sets sail first (Sept. 25) with a staging starring "Days of Our Lives" regular Gloria Loring (a.k.a. Liz Chandler). UVM follows up with a student production next fall (Nov. 10-13, 18-21). The band plays on in a familiar key with the Tony Awardwinning romp, Ain't Misbehavin (Onion River Arts Council, Barre Opera House, Sept. 17). New York's Irving Street Repertory Company performs this rambunctious show set in the fabled Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s. If imitation is the highest form of flattery, kudos to the Stowe Theatre Guild. The community troupe now preparing to stage the doo wop musical retro-revue Forever Plaid (Town Hall Theater, Sept. 22-25, Sept. 29 - Oct. 2) per-
Continued from page 21 (Hop, May 4-6, 10-13). The production features works by Thornton Wilder, Anton Chekhov and Jean Baptiste Poquelin de Moliere. The Middlebury College Department of Theatre shows a similar impulse to honor the great ones with their fall production of Wilder's classic, Our Town (Studio Theatre, Oct. 28-31). The play returns to the simple way of life in Grovers Corners, New Hampshire, as part of the colleges bicentennial celebration. The student thespians recall another American legend of the theater with a production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire (Wright Theatre, April 20-23). The Essex Community Players, meanwhile, depart from their standard light fare to stage Arthur Millers second-mostfamous drama, The Crucible, at Memorial Hall in June. Middlebury hosts the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company when they salute American contemporary master Terrence McNally with the regional premiere of his play, Master Class (Concert Hall, Oct. 19). McNally's acclaimed drama finds opera diva Maria Callas voiceless but unbowed as she addresses a Juilliard vocal class with tales of her colorful life and career. Which begs the question: Why has no one chosen a ;. Woman of the Millennium yet? Arguably the first woman playwright of the millennium was Aphra Behn. Middleb honors her achievements with a staging of The Rover (Wright Theatre, Dec. 9-11), also known as The Banish'd Cavalier. A cast of 22 student actors teams up with a couple of alums to mount the bawdy play set in Naples at carnival time, featuring plenty of flirting, cheating, loving, lying and fighting.
O
ther productions seem predicated on the notion that the year 2000 will be just another year. Make way for the theatrical war horses — the shows that promise us next year will not only be just like any other year, it'll be just like the past several years, because the shows will be the same. Hey, what comes around comes around again. Deja vu strikes Burlington's Lyric Theatre when they stage Gypsy (Flynn, Nov. 11-14). The musical story of theater's most notorious stage mother, Gypsy Rose Lee, was the company's debut production back in 1974. Lyric will be taking a flying leap at Peter Pan in the spring (April 27-30).
formed two shows last season that other companies have slated for the one to come — the aforementioned Peter Pan and Camelot. The Flynn Theatre trots out the literal war horse about King Arthur, Guinevere and the Knights of the Round Table (March 28). The Lerner and Loewe-scored musical conquered Broadway back in the day. American history repeats itself in music with a production of the Tony Award-winner 1776{Flynn, Jan. 14). The play "makes patriotism reasonable as opposed to treacle," says Malina.
More recent history repeats itself in Burlington-based Theatre Factory's program. The resident troupe at Trinity College may join the band of Burlington thespians looking for a home if the financially troubled college sends them packing in the spring. Meantime, they're set to lead off with Larry Kramer's early AIDS-era drama Normal Heart (Nov. 11-21). Neil Simon's Rumors (Feb. 8-13) provides comic relief in the new year, followed by a reprise of Theatre Factory's debut show, the Lily Tomlin comedy Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (March 23 - April 2), which the troupe opened with back in March 1994. The kids' show Arkansas Bear will round out the season in June. The Hyde Park Opera House will also ring familiar this season with the Lamoille County Players' annual production of The Sound of Music (Sept. 30 - Oct. 3, 7-10). The community troupe has been staging the musical classic for 21 years now, making it as much a part of autumn as out-of-state license plates poking along the scenic byways. The Players will get mysterious with a late-fall production of Agatha Christie's Mousetrap (Nov. 5-7, 1214, 19-20), in case you didn't see the Q N E K (Queen of the Northeast Kingdom) Productions show at the Haskell Opera House in Derby Line, where they are the resident company. The Winooski Community Players also mix mystery and music with a season that includes a staging of Craig Sodaro's caper, The Beating Heart (Winooski High School, Nov. 11-13) followed by the Robert Frankel musical revue First in Line (Feb. 1719). The group, a collaborative band of community members and area high school students, stages a one-act festival in March. After setting the stage for romance with A.R. Gurney's

"From the darkness Seeger and Studs Terkel, pays come I," Maclvor intones, "a homage to the real $6 billion, 60young man who hacks his father to mile pipe that will eventually condeath limb by limb and tucks the vey water to every resident of New parts into a box labeled some York City. assembly required."' Pottenger has documented the Those looking for somewhat 20-plus-year project through lighter fare can find it at appearvideotapes and interviews with ances by Lily Tomlin (Flynn, Nov. laborers, engineers and bureau30), and David Sedaris (Flynn, crats. On stage, she presents comApril 13). Tomlin performs an passionate impersonations to create updated version of her award-wina series of short stories punctuated ning 1985 Broadway show, The by video footage, construction Search for Signs of Intelligent Life demonstrations and meditations on workers and water. The show is being presented in collaboration with the Northern New England Tradeswomen's Conference. Vermont-New York actor Rusty Dewees offers up a more local tribute to the laborer in his solo performance, The Logger (various dates around the state through November, beginning at Rutland Intermediate School Sept. 17 & 18, 24 & 25). Dressed in a toque, torn jeans and working boots, Dewees uses his muscular, limber body and versatile voice to portray a variety of characters and machines. His patter — delivered in a studied rural-Vermont accent
five-and-a-half-year-old, and Crystal, the hang-gliding quadriplegic. The show will help finance construction of the theaters soon-to-be-built, 150-seat alternative performance space. While Tomlin gets laughs by taking on multiple personalities, all of them fictional, Sedaris' comedy is culled from his own life. The 42-year-old Sedaris, who shared his sardonic vision with book lovers at Barnes & Noble in South Burlington last year, got his start on radio in 1992, when National Public Radio aired his refreshingly cynical yuletide essay, "SantaLand Diaries," based on his harrowing experience as a department store elf. In Naked\ his best-selling collection of autobiographical sketches, an elderly nudist dreams about watching an all-nude version of "Wheel of Fortune." Flynn Artistic Director Arnie Malina promises that Sedaris will offer audiences "iconoclastic, oneof-a-kind, amazing stories that are truly very funny in his one-of-akind voice, which is painful at the same time that it is uproarious." One of the things that makes Sedaris so endearing, despite his acidic attitude towards much of the world, is his willingness to make himself the butt of his own jokes. Ellen DeGeneres (University of Vermont, Oct. 10) shares this ingratiating trait. Though prime-

time television may not have been ready for DeGeneres' openly queer attitude — "Ellen" was canceled last year — America's favorite lesbian returns to cable next month on If These Walls Could Talk 2, a three-storyfilmin which DeGeneres co-stars as Sharon Stone's significant other. The airing coincides with her Vermont appearance, the kick-off event for UVM's National Coming Out Week. Though the evening is bound to be funny, it will not be a stand-up comedy routine. After speaking about her life and about accepting and celebrating gays, DeGeneres will answer questions from the audience. UVM president Judith Ramaley will introduce DeGeneres, and the Samadhi Singers will perform. Smart money says the Samadhi Singers will serenade the DeGeneres audience with that encouraging GBLTQA anthem from The Wizard of Oz. "Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are." It seems less likely that they'll perform "The Middle-Aged

In the opening bit, which effortlessly incorporates references to fiddleheads, Beanie Babies, "Walker, Texas Ranger" and a kitten on uppers, Dewees tells the sad tale of the day the local marshal arrested him for jacking a decoy deer. "Marshall Burke," he concludes, "is 57 years of age, dating a 16-year-old junior in high school. And I get arrested for shooting a dummy deer. Sometin t'ain't right here." "Sometin' t'ain't right here" is also the theme of Monster (Hop, Jan. 7 & 8), a far darker, multicharacter, one-person drama created by the Toronto company da da

called Bag Jr. on stand-up bass, horns and occasional electric guitar and drums — Bag also recorded and mixed the album at Swing Bag Studios. Ball sings clever, frequently critical songs in a strong, high-ish, variously accented voice that reminded me of Michelle Shocked at times. "I drive past mammoth stores and I feel their magneticfields,"he sings as a consumed consumer in the herky-jerky "My Toothbrush." In "The New Math," the economics of New Jack hustling make for good word problems; self-tortured artists are skewered in "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Asshole," one of the best cuts, musically, on the record. With the quantity of words Ballfiresout on Folk Forms, quality is bound to suffer at times, but his edge gets dull only occasionally. Aside from goofball interludes like the scat session on "Impression," Ball manages to power through with aggressive picking and singing. I dug Bag Jr. s Doppler-effect sax playing on the skronky "Same End All the Time" and the Appalachian flavor of the mandolin and strings in the spooky lament, "Love, Sex, Clowns and Cigarettes." From radioactive dentures to the Holy Host, Ball covers some varied subject matter, in a quirky but considered manner. He didn't just fill in Folk Forms and mail it off. With the help of Bag Jr., Ball delivered thisfine-soundingrecord personally.
He makes a Burlington appearance this Friday at Borders. — Paul Gibson THE GENIUS/GZA, BENEATH THE SURFACE (Wu-
Tang Records, 12-inch vinyl) — Once the handsdown most important collective in hip-hop, the Wu-Tang Clan just isn't what it used to be. Recent Wu flow has lacked the vitality of earlier work. The absence of master producer, the RZA, on a slew of half-ass Wu releases, a less-than-coherent album from the once-great Method Man, and a recent, weak Ol' Dirty Bastard 12-inch (its commercial vibe makes me wonder if it's only an attempt to raise bail for the cop-shooting MC) has left many calling the demise of the Wu empire. Can it be true? Did the Clan mislead us when they titled their essential 1996 release Wu-Tang Forever*. Here to set all such fears to rest is The Genius. With a straightforward, lyrically sound, majestically produced sophomore release, this master lyricist not only shoots down any and all negativity directed at him and his Clan, but also establishes a thematic approach not previously pursued by other members of Wu. While he continues to engage in the philosophical, metaphysical and cosmogenic discourse paved by the Wu collective, he abandons the corny and less pertinent Kung-fu imagery present on prior Wu releases, including his own 1995 debut, Liquid
mike time to the cultural function of hip-hop. With the sort of boasting and self-adulation commonly found in the poetry of the genre, he presents himself as a sort of musical Messiah. With self-proclaimed dope rhymes, he aims to bring all who will listen beneath the surface of it all. And with imageinspiring rhymes that would please a linguistics professor, he succeeds in doing just that. With the help of the RZA — the producer responsible for putting the Wu-Tang Clan on the hip-hop map in the first place — all 18 tracks (songs and skits) groove, mentally stimulate and shine with a music flow as energetic as they come. In the dawning of a hip-hop era led by a new school of Blackstars and Jurassic 5s, The Genius re-asserts himself, and his Clan, as important players on the scene and in the community. The opportunity to witness the reemergence of the Wu-Tang Clan happens this Wednesday when The Genius plays Higher Ground. —JeffFuccillo
Swords. With Beneath the
Surface, The Genius adopts a far more applicable, realistic and socially concerned approach. In a deep-voiced intro, he announces his intent from the get-go: to take it to a transcendental level of existence above and beyond the corrupt world that surrounds us all. That is, as he proclaims in a fiery tone, to take us all "beneath the surface." Compared to Liquid Swords — an extended journey into ancient Chinese mythologies, samurai warriors and evil shogun rulers — the new Genius manifesto is a far more domestic one. Racism, gun violence, unemployment and the woes of the corporate music industry are the topics traversed here. Further, The Genius gives adequate

two people on the same night for possession and selling of heroin in Burlington's City Hall Park was no coincidence. A 1995 study indicated that over 22 percent of Vermont adults need treatment or intervention for substance abuse. Jan Carney, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Health, and docs from University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen tackle the problem in a forum on addiction. The discussion looks at the hard, street-level realities of policies and programs for treatment and prevention. Thursday, September 16. Carpenter Auditorium, UVM, Burlington, 5-7:15p.m. Free.

Funk, jazz, rock, reggae, blues — singer Gilberto Gil is a one-man music festival. Or coup d'etat. As a pioneering musician of the 1960s "Tropicalia" movement in Brazil, Gil infuriated the country's military dictatorship with his politically charged lyrics. So the heavies booked him an exile gig — in London. There, international influences infused Gil's music with diverse styles he brought home three years later. Gil brings his power-fighting lyrics and powerful rhythms to town for a night of danceable defiance. Friday, September 17. Flynn Theatre, Burlington, 8p.m. $25-31. Info, 863-8444.

hen a new nickel was released to the American public in 1913 the obverse portrait was hailed "a true Indian," unlike any previous Native American portrait that had appeared on U.S. coinage. But designer James Earl Frazier confessed that he had forgotten who one of the three models for his composite "true Indian" portrait was. The other two sitters, Iron Tail and Two Moons, had been warrior chiefs at the battle of Little Bighorn. Perhaps that fact made them more memorable than the third man who was profiled. A piece called "Native Nickels," by Ron Carraher, is one of the 96 photographs by 29 Native American photographers in the "Strong Hearts: Native American Visions and Voices" exhibition now at the Fleming Museum. "Native Nickels" is a large, black-andwhite print of two five-cent pieces standing on edge to show obverse and reverse, over a black background. In this stark image Carraher relates how ,,.v Indians have been reduced to the status of nostalgic icons in ,
"Agnes Alfred," Namgis, Alert Bay, British Columbia, photo by David Neel, a Kwagiutl, 1991. and a similar statement by Custer also appear, but these are rendered tragically stupid by Jackson's lush visual language. His "Photographing tourists photographing Indians" is a puckish quartet that captured intrusive tourists at a Taos
This show.. . focuses less on the , ins of the past than on defining the identity of an evolving American culture. the American crucible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a theme repeated by many of these artists. But Carraher is presenting not a polemic image but just the facts, in a way that photography is uniquely suited to do. This is not a radicalized show; it focuses less on the sins of the past than on defining the identity of an evolving American culture. "I feel as an Indian artist I must educate the public about Native Americans," says a quote in one of Zig Jackson's "Spirit Series" pieces. Against a background of native symbols, drawings and comments, Jackson has inserted portraits of Jim Thorpe, 19th-century chiefs and a warm self-portrait with his German Shepherd at the lower right of the picture. General Sheridan's notorious comment, "The only good Indian I ever saw was dead,"
pueblo pow-wow. The tourists are being generally ignored by all, as they assume weird poses to point cameras at the richly adorned Indians. In Jackson's series, "Indian Man in San Francisco," the table is turned. In these works, a native man in sunglasses and a giant feathered war bonnet seems as out of place as do the tourists at Taos. In "Riding the Bus," all of the passengers coolly avoid eye contact with each other, and the man in Ray-bans and eagle feathers seems to be doing the same. Walter Bigbee's "Bison Harvest, Pine Ridge, South Dakota 1993" is a series of 12 color snapshots framed together to describe a modern buffalo hunt. Two pictures of native men with high-powered rifles and binoculars targeting a small herd set the stage at upper left.
From there the story progresses non-sequentially as the men are documented chatting and working together around their kill, until it is loaded into a white pickup truck. This could just as easily be a group of moose hunters in the Northeast Kingdom, except for the knowledge that these men hunt on the same vast landscape that their people have hunted for thousands of years. The men, the quarry and the land are Bigbee's dominant elements. His colors are muted, and the horizon line is raised and lowered to emphasize the land's ceaseless presence in the pictures. There is also a remarkable collection of pictures taken by children participating in the "Shooting Back from the Reservation" project, and historic pieces snapped by 19thcentury Anglos. T h e early photos reveal how deep the divide between clashing cultures really was, and why an exhibition such as this has validity today. Early in 2000, an Indian's portrait will appear on the new U.S. dollar coin. It will be a portrait of Sacagawea, the 15year- old Shishone mother who saved Lewis and Clark from destruction many times over. Lewis and Clark's boss, Thomas Jefferson, will remain on the lowly nickel. Š

MESSAGE N A BOTTLE
of sub-conscious messages and spectral visitations direct him to trash his pad. Sort of a more frenzied version of the Richard Dreyfuss character in Close Encounters, Bacon pulls up the floorboards, digs up his backyard, sledgehammers his basement floor and eventually knocks down walls. And his landlord lives just across the street, so you can imagine the tension and suspense!

CHITTENDEN COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
n a sunny afternoon beside a swimming pool, Marcy — just turned 1 5 — agrees to have an affair with Robert, the 41-year-old husband of her mother's friend. By doing so she sets in motion a hidden process of fate that will have consequences for her and her family and friends. T h e affair itself is brief and seems to be a happy experience for both. But after it ends, Marcy has changed in subtle ways that even she does not recognize. T h e future, in turn, is affected by these changes, which spread out like ripples in calm water to touch other lives.
David Huddle's new novel, The Story of a Million Years, is the story of seven lives and a secret that reverberates undiscovered through each of them. T h e reader follows Marcy from 15 to 47. Although the book revolves around her affair with Robert, Huddle does not dwell upon the details and avoids moral judgments. There is no hint of Lolita — a book that Robert has read and found "a little off-putting." Despite the rather titillating cover — a swimsuit-clad girl — The Story of a Million Years avoids prurience. It is not an erotic book. Instead it is a tale of lives evolving, built up gradually through the stories of those involved with the central protagonists. T h a t m o m e n t of poolside acquiescence becomes the first thread in a web of fate that has entangled everyone who has brushed against it. T h e narrative is taken up, in turns, by Marcy's husband, Allen, and daughter, Suellen; her friend Ute and Ute's husband, Jimmy; Robert and his wife, Suzanne. Suzanne has always suspected the truth about the affair — with consequences for Robert as well as herself — but she is the only one. For the others, only the reader can discern the way this secret both links them and pulls them apart. Allen, a selfobsessed man of action, finally discovers that his wife will always be ultimately unknowable to him. Ute marries Allen's college buddy, Jimmy, who has always loved Marcy. Robert grows old in a marriage turned sour, constantly remembering the goodness and purity of his young lover. And Suzanne's knowledge

of the affair leads her into bitterness but also into uneasy selfawareness. Each of Huddle's characters is looking back from a point loosely anchored in the present. Their different voices, rendered in crisp, concisely observed tones, combine to weave a wistful, almost nostalgic paean to lives that seem simple but which are steered by a complex undercurrent. Huddle makes the point that not only are those we love unknowable — as are we ourselves — but that the myriad points of contact which shape and steer our lives are often just as obscure.
Marcy and Robert's secret runs through each story with the shrouded energy of a ley line that only the reader can see. But its influence has impelled the characters to search their own pasts for defining moments of goodness, or at least clarity. For Ute it is the remembered kindness of i Manhattan bartender; for Allen ? the memory of an act he feels . proved him a good father. Suzanne finds her center in a distant summer at camp, and something tender that ended in rage. Huddle avoids making his characters annoyingly introspective, however. Their stories are about groping through the confusions of the human condition, and conclusions are offered only to the reader. In this way the different personalities remain compelling, flawed as they sometimes are. And although the book's conclusions aren't particularly optimistic — no easy epiphanies here, more a journey through a clpud without a flashlight — they have a convincing honesty. It takes courage to write a novel about the blinkers inflicted by life; it takes talent to make such a novel uplifting.

This is a short book and a quick read, but not a lazy one. It is accessible not because of its simplicity but because it is so compulsively involving. Each word is something to savor. Huddle's writing is both art and craft, and is full of the music and fhythm of poetry. The Story of a Million Years seems in part to represent a writer's transition from one form to another. As such it holds the pleasant promise of more — and longer — books to come. (Z)

Music lovers are more likely to hear those and other headline-inspired harmonies from The Capitol Steps (Hop, Jan. 28). The Steps, equal-opportunity political satirists who met as congressional staffers from both sides of the aisle, make regular swings through the area. But their shows stay as fresh — in both senses of the word — as the laugh-tokeep-from-crying circus ever unfolding in D.C. Speaking of which, Cirque Eloize (Flynn, March 25), part of the nouvelle-circus vogue that includes Big Apple and Cirque de Soleil, staged its first show in 1993. Eloize — which takes its name from a Quebe^ois ^ ^ t e r m for heat lightning — offers more intimate, down-to-Earth fare than its more pyrotechnic counterparts. The current show, Excentricus, uses the language of the circus to RED BALLOON convey little narratives about human heartbreaks and pleasures. Performing in character, a woman on the trapeze and a man on a twolegged ladder meet and fall in love. A man who works on the rope portrays an outsider who longs to join the group, and eventually does. Explains Director Jeannot Painchaud, "We want to reach people by the heart, rather than by the somersault." But really, nothing reaches people by the heart like The Red Balloon (Flynn, Feb. 6) that befriends a lonely little Parisian boy and is eventually popped by envious ruffians. Originally a novel, the frolicsome story was made into an Oscar-winning short film in 1956. The stage version, pro-
ing while conveying its inner life through the movements of his face and body. Another reviewer advises, "If your kids are busy, go anyway." The same advice would probably not apply to The Very Hungry Caterpillar & The Very Quiet Cricket (Flynn, Jan. 7), which is clearly most suited to the pre-reading set and their guardians. Nova Scotia's Mermaid Theatre uses puppetry to interpret two classic picture books by Eric Carle. The first follows a caterpillar's progress from larva to cocoon to butterfly-hood while teaching such valuable concepts as counting, the days of the week and the importance of a proper diet. Cricket, another coming-of-age book, shows how that insect learns to make music by rubbing his wings together. Both books feature Carle's striking collages of layered, hand-painted paper, an effect Mermaid conveys with fluorescent paint and black light. Carle himself won't be on hand for the performance. But then, when children's author and illustrator Tomi dePaola (Middlebury College, Oct. 15) reads, draws and signs books, he probably won't be packing any puppets. DePaola, who turns 65 this week, has been called a "one-man mall," with 200 illustrated books to his credit and over five million copies of his works now in print. DePaola received the American Library Association's Caldecott Honor Award for Strega Nona, a Calabrian take CIRQUE ELOIZE on The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

he Onion River Arts Council almost missed its 25th birthday this year. The central Vermont nonprofit performing arts organization was so broke last August — $38,000 in the red — that executive director Diane Manion didn't know if ORAC would survive. It wasn't the first time the council nearly closed its doors, Manion admits, but it barely escaped being the last. What kept them open was a lastditch, grassroots appeal to the community. "It was heart warming. People would see us on the street and say I've been meaning to join — here's some money," the director recalls. "People were sliding dollars under the door. By the end of the year, we'd nearly retired the debt. It felt good...but it was even more rewarding to find out last November that.. .people felt we were essential." By the end of 1998 ORAC paid off all but $12,000 of the deficit. In spite of con-
view that's not unusual. She says all six of the state's local arts councils are currently in the hole. The financial morass comes down to federal funding, or rather the lack thereof. Six years ago, ORAC received $50,000 in state and federal funds, largely derived from the National Endowment for the Arts. This year, government funding came in at less than $5000. Like all similar organizations, ORAC seeks funding from many sources — including from members, businesses, private donors and foundations — but there was simply no filling the sudden, large void left by the NEA grant money. "When you lose that kind of funding, a community this size can't pick up the difference," Manion says. Washington County has 55,000 residents. When Congress gutted funding for the NEA in 1995, the $7000 to $10,000 standard operating grants that Vermont's local arts councils relied on for administrative costs simply dried up, according to Jim Higgins, Communications Coordinator for the Vermont Arts Council. "ORAC suffered instantly," he says. T

a victim of its own success. When it was formed a quarter-century ago, the performing arts scene in central Vermont was limited to s p e c i f y i n g under the golden dome. Today there are a half-dozen arts organizations in the Montpelier-Barre area that also seek community support — including Lost Nation Theater, Live Art and Monteverdi Music School. The resurrection of the Pyralisk performance space looms on the horizon. Like ORAC, these arts organizations also present shows or offer educational programming, albeit in more specific genres. Manion doesn't see these other players as competitors, however. She says ORAC constantly re-evaluates its programming and explores new niches. VAC Director Alex Aldrich agrees. "There is a real symbiosis between ORAC and Lost Nation Theater," he says. "If anything, that's going to have to increase in Montpelier and other places where tourism is going to become a greater part of the economic pie." ORAC still offers its mainstays — the six-show "Celebration Series" at the Barre Opera House, featuring nationally known dancers, musicians and the-
ater groups, and First Night Montpelier. But it is now focusing on more behind-thescenes educational and social service programs. ORAC is an integral part, for instance, of the CityScape after-school proin Barre, and the after-school programs at Montpelier's Basement Teen Center. In all, ORAC served over 10,000 central Vermont students last year. ORAC has become as lean and mean as it can without imploding — there is no secretary, no bookkeeper, no receptionist, Manion, the only fulltime employee, balances the checkbook. She and the part-time education director and the part-time program director handle the phones. The council can no longer aff6rd the four staffers it once employed. It's a tight trio, though — and one that still makes beautiful music together. "We do more with less," Manion says. "We try to work smarter." (Z)

Sonia Dada, Sinead Lohan (Sept. 25), Elliot Smith, Charlie Hunter," Crothers suggests. Any act with crossover appeal — i.e., that's won the ears of hippie-rock fans — will do well at Higher Ground. That includes Jalapeno Bros, with legendary fiddler — and honorary Vermonter — Vassar Clements and former New Riders pedal steel player Buddy Cage (Sept. 14, also appearing at other venues); Southern blues-rockers Gov Mule (Oct. 2); and hip Hammondfunksters Medeski Martin & Wood (Oct. 26 & 27). Vestiges of Club Toast have settled over Higher Ground courtesy of Toast Productions — Dennis Wygmans books the club from his new digs in Boston, and keeps a steady flow of hip-hop and reggae artists coming to the area. Toots & the Maytals, based now in New York, are regulars. Coming up this month are Jamaicans Everton Blender (Sept. 18) and Burning Spear (Sept. 20), and hip-hoppers Del the Funky Homosapien (Sept. 23). Irie, dudes. But H G is still a "destination" venue, not a hang-out place, which means it's nearly impossible for the club to break new acts, Crothers laments. It may also explain why indie or alt-rock turnouts are small. The kids just don't make the trek across that Winooski Bridge unless someone extra-special comes around —; this weeks double-header of the inventive Guided By Voices and ^r«x-white-trash rockers Southern Culture on the Skids (Sept. 21) might do the trick. "Five years ago there was a great wave and Burlington was producing a lot of great alt-rock bands, it was supposed to be the next Seattle," Crothers notes. "That didn't happen. Some bands broke up, some moved away, very few got any critical success." While the hot thing now is groove rock, Crothers speculates that in a few more years those trends may switch. "I don't know, I'm just a humble man trying to get the kids the shows they want," he says. What some of the kids want, of course, is Vermont's biggest musical export, Phish. And while the band's fall touring schedule includes dates in Uniondale, New York (Oct. 7 & 8), Albany (Oct. 9 & 10), Portland (Dec. 7 & 8), Hartford (Dec. 12) and Providence (Dec. 13), the big kahuna is New Year's Eve. Phish will give new meaning to swamp rock, way down yonder at Florida's Big Cypress Seminole Reservation, for their final gig of the millennium (Dec. 30-31). Now that— betwixt 'gators and 'glades — is entertainment. If you're staying close to home for the big night, though — or any night — go check out the native talent in rock, blues, jazz, folk, hiphop, funk, swing, reggae, etc. at local clubs and coffeehouses, whose performing arts "season" is all the time. ®

Of course, Halloween is high time for mysteries, and the season inspires Edgar Allen Poe tributes from the St. Johnsbury-based Catamount Arts and Montpelier's Lost Nation. Catamount's Once Upon a Midnight (Lyndon Institute, Oct. 29) stars John "Gomez Addams" Astin in the oneman show about the horror master. The Lebanon Opera House hosts the production on Oct. 27. Lost Nations dramatic readings of Poe highlight their Halloween fundraiser, An Edgar Allan Poe Halloween / / / ( C i t y Hall, Oct. 30). Catamount bounces back with the light Beanstalk Variations (Lyndon, May 13) in the spring, a physical-comedy reinterpretation of the children's classic Jack and the Beanstalk. Jeffersonville-based Firefly Productions seizes the moment to perform plays in the tradition of Theatre du Grand Guignol, Parisian fright-theater dating from the 1890s to the 1960s. Dates are not set, but according to company co-founder Keefe Healy, they're looking at four or five shows around Halloween, staged most likely in Waitsfield and Burlington. The Essex Community Players conjure up Halloween spirit, too, with Little Shop of Horrors (Memorial Hall, Oct. 29-31, Nov. 5-7), the comical play about a skidrow florist whose luck turns with the arrival of a spooky little plant. True to their own theatrical tradition, the Players stage a one-act showcase in February with the comedy Three on a Bench, the farce Scheme of the Drijtless Shifter and the romantic fable A Separate Peace (not an adaptation of the John Knowles novel).

mid this wave of retrospection, the boldest productions are those that dare to look forward. That has always been the bravest play in the theater world, and it's heartening to see that fire burning so brightly as the millennium turns. In the tradition of quality theater — conscience-of-a-culture-type work — some productions raise important questions to consider as we move toward an uncertain future. Of these, the season's most notable work, hands down, is the Flynn Theatre's "New Works 2000" production of Forgiveness (March 18). Directed by Chen Shi-Zheng (The Peony Pavilion), the play, a sort of Pan-Asian opera, brings together three traditional Asian the-

The play revisits a strange-but-true tale of a mentally disabled Chelsea, Vermont, woman put on trial for the murder of her stepson about 100 years ago. According to Q N E K Artistic Director Lynn Camp, the riveting tale is a matter of public record in Chelsea town documents. Lost Nation also celebrates local color with Panther Classics (Jan. 20-30), a run of comedy sketches, songs and satire from the troupe once banned from Vermont Public Radio. Middlebury trumpets the achievements of another praiseworthy Vermonter with its production of Blue Forest (Studio Theatre, Jan. 20-22), by alum Katherine Berry Swartz. The drama draws on the journals of former Middlebury College librarian, socialist, feminist and poet Viola Chittenden White, positing late 20th-century responses to her work.

'MOON' LIGHT Stowe's Blue Moon Cafe sets a high standard B Y ANDREW NEMETHY

ack Pickett does not exactly fit the conventional image of a demanding Cordon Bleu chef. He'd be swathed in crisp white, capped by a toque and overseeing a band of eager culinary acolytes. But on a recent warm weekday night, he's wearing shorts, clogs, a T-shirt covered by a white apron, and no hat on at all over his short-cropped hair. Pickett's domain is no sprawling stainless steel empire, but a small, cramped kitchen where his sous chef, prep person and dishwasher have to dance a sidestepping, delicate ballet just to get their jobs done. Metaphorically, though, Pickett does wear two hats, and that makes him unusual: He's not only the chef at Stowe's exceptional Blue Moon Cafe, he's also the owner. It's a juggling act that requires remarkable dedication, work habits, talent — and perhaps no small measure of foolhardy optimism. "It's
opened the Blue Moon Cafe seven years ago, his 49-seat restaurant has come to rank atop many diners' lists not just in Stowe, but throughout northern Vermont. Pickett previously was chef at the Ten Acres Lodge in Stowe, whose restaurant during his tenure was widely considered one of the best in town — no small feat in this resort land of endless eateries. But after working 14 years there and having "to train" three new owners, as he puts it, he decided he was ready to control his own destiny and menu. After extensive renovations to create an airy, simple dining room and bar in a cramped former French bistro just off Stowe's Main Street, he opened the doors to the Blue Moon Cafe in August 1992. Now 46, Pickett is tall and handsome and looks younger than his years; he'd look perfectly at home as a ski instructor on the slopes of Mt. Mansfield. In fact, he was a ski bum in Boulder and then Lake Tahoe in the 1970s, where he did woodworking in the summers and skied like
coctions such as grilled sea scallops with green chili sauce and chipolte cream, and roasted Vermont pheasant with foraged wild mushrooms and cape gooseberries. "I kind of always knew I was going to be a chef," says Pickett, who after his first restaurant experience out West went to Cordon Bleu in London to learn the trade. He's been "on the line" ever since. Pickett's keys to success are disarmingly straightforward. "We do everything from scratch — probably too much," he admits with a laugh. His ingredients are impeccably fresh and varied. He buys organic produce from Alan LePage, a well-known grower in central Vermont, and meticulously inspects, buys and cuts his own meat and fish, all fresh and unfrozen. On the night I visited — he let me watch the goings on in the kitchen — Pickett had boned and cut into fillets of intriguing shapes a gorgeous $185 slab of fresh orangepink bluefin tuna. He dipped the cuts in a pattern of black and white sesame seeds, creating a wonderful visual contrast, and then pan-seared and served the tuna with an unusual and tasty seaweed salad and pickled-ginger wasabi. Everything that goes out of Pickett's kitchen appeals both to the palate and the eye with colorful and welldesigned presentation, but it's never over the top — that's not his style, and he doesn't have the time for elaborate extravagance anyway. On my hors d'oeuvre of warm organic spinach, goat cheese and parma ham, the ham was arrayed in a circle around the side of the spinach and two small yellow pansy flowers perched atop the spinach. The green, white and pink colors were as appealing as the contrasting tastes. Excellent, crusty homemade bread is served with the dinners, and there's a nice wine list with interesting selections by the glass. My entree was an adventurous first for me, a tasty macadamia nut-encrusted fillet of tilapia, sauteed and served with a peach chutney, green beans and saffron basmati rice. Tilapia is a Middle Eastern staple, an easily raised warm-water fish that Pickett quips is "catfish without the muddy flavor." Dessert was a delectable coconut-cream pie with a chocolate crust that is to diner versions what Bordeaux is to Boone's Farm. The entrees at Blue Moon range from around $16 to $21, the appetizers and desserts $4 to $5, and the menu changes about four times a week. The eight daily entrees mix seafood, meat and vegetarian options. If there is a key hallmark to dining where a chef-owner is in charge, it might be Blue Moon's anything-goes flexibility and willingness to please. Pickett will mix and

Chef Jack Pickett quite a bit harder than I thought," Pickett observes, in typically understated fashion, about his dual role and long work days. On the other hand, being chef-owner has its advantages. You set your own hours, dress as you wish, and hire whom you want to work with. Most importantly, you get to create your own culinary vision, setting the bar as high as you care to without accountants looking over your shoulder and consultants tinkering with the menu. Judging by what comes out of Pickett's fertile mind and kitchen, he thrives at being his own boss: Since he
crazy in winter — one season tallying 140 days on the slopes. He's also an avid biker and rock climber, and a family man. Pickett's path to cuisine traces back to a family with a lot of good cooks and a mother who challenged her kids to try and duplicate her recipes. At the age of nine, he figured out by trial and error how to make the sauce for one of his favorite foods, chipped beef. Today, that childlike zest and imagination is clearly still alive — though far removed from such mundane dishes. He whips up con-
match anything from the menu and cook things any way you like. He'll serve half-portions, and concoct whatever the kids want, whether it's a hamburger or noodles with cheese. He'll also come out — wearing shorts — and chat with patrons, many of them regulars he knows well. "I tell folks the food's guaranteed here. We don't get many complaints," he says with a modest smile. Here's another guarantee: The old saying may be "once in a blue moon," but once you've dined at Pickett's, you're certain to return again and again. ®

Continued from page 43 calls from newcomers who've heard of the venue's open-door policy. The small downtown Burlington ibMMr space has been lending itself to smaller productions, such as Christopher McBride's magic shows, the Kamikaze Comedy troupe and the spontaneous appearances of Mark Pekar and Fool's Jacket Troupe. That's not to say that plays aren't going up. As Awodey notes, Burlington native son Adriano Shaplin's dark comedy Wreck the Airline Barrier, which played the Rhombus stage before heading the Festival Fringe this summer, ended up taking top honors in Scotland. As Awodey says, "That's the kind of thing we've done in the past, and hopefully we'll be able to do things like that at Rhombus in the future." Roaming the local fringe are the area's usual suspects — Champlain Arts Theatre Company, Green Candle Theater Company and the
merry band of thespians known as the OffCenter for the Dramatic Arts. This past summer, OffCenter came very close to landing a downtown Burlington theater space — what has become the local theater artists' Holy Grail. According to John Alexander, who was spearheading the campaign with the help of Paul Schnabel and playwright Stephen Goldberg, negotiations with the city have reached a standstill. But the show must go on. Alexander and Schnabel can be seen in Lost Nation's upcoming production of Richard III. Goldberg expects to mount his original jazz play, tentatively titled Burnt or Burnt Bridges, at Burlington's Club Metronome in late October, early November. Local jazz guitarist Kip Meaker will star in the drama about what Goldberg describes as a "Chet Baker-type character...whose girlfriend is trying to help him make a comeback." Okay, so it's not Shakespeare. But after this season, that may be a relief. ®

By day an N Y C parking-ticket judge, by night Popik was an indefatigable word sleuth. In the early '90s he chanced to meet fellow word maven Gerald C o h e n at the N e w York Public Library. C o h e n , a professor at the University of Missouri, m e n t i o n e d that one early user of the term Big Apple was John J. Fitz Gerald, a horse-racing writer for the New York Morning

It took five years of nagging to arrange the designation of "Big Apple Corner," the location of Fitz Gerald's last residence. W h e n Popik invited the media to t h e official proclamation in 1997, he sadly reports, " N o o n e showed up." N o t everyone accepts Popik's explanation as the final word even now. By his own account, J o h n J. Fitz Gerald didn't invent the nickname, he merely popularized it. In The City in Slang: New York Life and Popular Speech (1993), Irving Lewis Allen quotes a 1909 c o m m e n t by one M a r t i n Wayfarer: " N e w York [was] merely one of the fruits of that great tree whose roots go d o w n in t h e Mississippi Valley, and whose branches spread f r o m

don't understand how the vehicle — hypothetically speaking — can even go 55 mph down an expressway with the parking brake on. Could you answer these questions for me? —Kevin
Dear Tom and Ray, I have a hypothetical question about the brakes in a car. If someone was to drive a 1991 Olds Delta 88 Roy ale with the parking brake on for about 10 or 12 miles before noticing that it was on, would that also affect the front brakes of the car? In other words, would the front brakes fail, too, even though the
RAY: K e v i n , y o u k n u c k l e h e a d ! T h e s e aren't h y p o t h e t i c a l q u e s tions. W e k n o w y o u left t h e parking brake on, drove halfway to your out-of-town p o k e r g a m e a n d lost y o u r b r a k e s as y o u w e r e s t o p p i n g to p i c k u p t h e cigars, right?

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): There's one substance in the universe that can not only rob Superman of his superpowers but make him downright feeble: kryptonite. For me, cats are like that. My allergy to the creatures means that if I get in the same room where they've jettisoned their dander, I'll grow progressively wheezier, crabbier, shakier. What about you, Aries? What's your version of kryptonite and cats? The stars are telling me that you're now unusually immune to this weakening agent. But even better than that. You'll soon have in your possession a secret key that'll allow you to permanently diminish its infernal power to sap your strength.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): It'll be a bad week to punch the wall, yell at the sky, or eat the carpet. It'll be a good week to squat down with the six-year-olds and play demolition derby with miniature bulldozers and musclebound action figures. Wait, there's more. It'll be a terrible time to scrunch your anal sphincter up tight and dream of throwing poison darts at all the people who haven't given you what you deserve. But it'll be a wonderful moment to take a long, philosophical walk, get lost, and end up in an unfamiliar neighborhood bar where you have a feverish fit of inspiration and scrawl your "shadow manifesto" on a hundred napkins.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): I usually write in peaceful solitude at home. But this week, as an experiment, I wandered down to a cafe to meditate in public. As I nursed a "depth charge" and daydreamed about your precious needs, I spied a flyer for a workshop titled "Finding the Inner Serpent: Becoming a Snake Priestess." Yes, I thought to myself.
Geminis have been too damn civUized lately. They need to tap into their most untamed kundalini. Then another clue from the flyer jumped out at me, as if from a divine oracle. O n e of the workshops teachers, Yemaya Duby,
was said to have been "a dancer from birth." I knew immediately, Gemini, that I had to ask you, "What have you been since birth?" And I vividly sensed, too, that you must now summon a snakey intensity to nurture that inborn talent.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): I dare you to make a bold new commitment to yourself, Cancerian. Pledge that you will no longer hide your beauty from anyone. Make a deal with your inner queen or king that you will not hold back your resplendent emotional power out of fear of being thought vain or excessive. Promise yourself that you will unleash the soulful complexity which you've always been so ambivalent about sharing. If you do these things, I predict that the universe will respond in kind, no longer hiding its beauty from you. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Congratulations! You made it through the trivial ordeal! As a reward, I'll spare you from moralistic preaching and load you up with poetic soundbites. Here goes. Play a joke on your fear, Leo. Elude "helpers" who force you to need them. Ask a soul-deepening question you've never had enough courageous curiosity to imagine. Pretend to grovel for a juicy clue, even as you secretly celebrate how good that clue will be for your pride. Stand in a wide open space and pray for a slow-motion volcano in your heart. And finally, as a special treat marking your release from the strangleholds of annoying little demons, please accept my gift of this mind-massaging Zen koan: Go wash
some water.
