EDITOR’S NOTE CURTAIN UP! All the world’s a stage, and this week it feels as if some of the best stage productions in history are landing in Boise. For example, BW’s Lex Nelson has a timely visit with some of the creative talent behind The Lion King, now in its 20th year on Broadway and one of the most popular musicals in the history of The Great White Way (it has grossed more than $8 billion thus far). The Disney show began roaring inside Boise’s Morrison Center on Oct. 17 and will continue its reign through Sunday, Nov. 4.

In her story, “Long Live the King,” on page 6, Lex explores the show’s unique integration of puppetry, live performance and some of the most familiar tunes in modern memory.

Then, on page 7, I preview Opera Idaho’s upcoming production of Don Giovanni at The Egyptian Theatre in Boise. This will be the first time Opera Idaho has performed Don Giovanni in nearly two decades. Plus, it turns out that the Egyptian has its own unique history with Don Juan, the source material for the wildly popular opera.

BW contributing writer Brian Millar pops by on page 8 and previews a rather unique mashup—a fashion show, pop-up sale and hip-hop/rap concert—at Deathproof Coffee. The show is the brainchild of the same Boise-based designers who are behind the Genesis Project, an emerging streetwear company.

On page 10, I visit another Boise coffee shop, Slow by Slow, which authors Stacy Ennis and Ron Price have used as a backdrop for a new book, Growing Influence, which they describe as a “business fable.”

Lex returns on page 12 to take us along to Warfield Distillery & Brewery, one of the finest restaurants in the Sun Valley area and the scene of an exclusive cooking class from Chef Sean Temple, who put Idaho-raised lamb on “center plate.”

BW music guru Ben Schultz sits down with Parker Millsap on page 22, just prior to the writer/musician’s appearance at The Olympic on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and finally I return on page 23 to review a pair of new films: The Sisters Brothers and The Old Man & the Gun. Sit back and relax. The show’s about to begin.

“If you put [the earnings of] all of the Star Wars movies together, it still wouldn’t have grossed as much as The Lion King.”

LONG LIVE THE KING: BROADWAY’S THE LION KING ROARS INTO BOISE The Lion King will run at the Morrison Center through Sunday, Nov. 4 LE X NEL SON Jack Eldon, the vice president of domestic touring and regional engagements for Disney Theatrical Productions, dropped more than one statistical bomb during the Morrison Center preview of Broadway’s The Lion King on May 21. Among them: the fact that The Lion King is in its 20th year on Broadway; that it has been seen by more than 98 million people; and that it’s the highest-grossing Broadway production in history, pulling in more than $8 billion so far.

“That’s billion with a B,” Eldon told the crowd of VIPs gathered for the preview of the show, which hit the Morrison Center stage Oct. 17 and will run through Sunday, Nov. 4. “If you put [the earnings of ] all of the Star Wars movies together, it still wouldn’t have grossed as much as The Lion King.”

The facts and figures show the play is wildly popular, but critics agree that it must be seen to be believed. Making an animated film into a stage production is always a challenge, but because the characters in Disney’s 1994 classic are animals the feat is doubled in The Lion King, which relies on meticulously designed costumes, makeup and puppets to give the impression 6 | OCTOBER 17–23, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

that there are lions, elephants, hyenas, gazelles, wildebeests, birds and more cavorting on stage.

“It’s the trust that you have for your audience,” The Lion King Puppet Supervisor Michael Reilly told Boise Weekly in advance of the production’s opening night in Boise. “You trust that the audience is going to understand what’s happening because they feel for the characters and the story.”

Guests of the May 21 preview got just a taste of that drama: Though a cluster of performers made the trip to give sneak peeks of their songs, they were all in formalwear, saving their costumes for the play’s true debut. Before Eldon took the stage, the night began when the house lights dropped for a powerful performance of “Circle of Life” by actress and singer Mukelisiwe Goba, who plays Rafiki. Her bold, sweeping notes filled the room effortlessly, and the Boise State University Meistersingers backed her up for the song’s iconic chorus, setting the stage for more cast performances to come.

After the applause for Goba died down, Eldon talked through everything from the costume and set design to the musical compo-

sition of the production and the innovations made for the stage performance. Among those, he said, was the choice by Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor to cast a woman for Rafiki and enhance Nala’s role, giving women more representation in the play. Another was her decision to create custom masks and puppets that rest above or in front of the actors’ faces, rather than covering them.

“Her concept was, ‘never hide the humanity, always show the stagecraft,’” said Eldon, explaining how the Simba, Scar, Nala and Mufasa masks swing down to hover in front of the actors’ faces during action scenes at the push of a button, then rise back up for dialogue.

“You always see both, you see the puppet and the human side to [the characters]. And we play with that,” Reilly told BW later. “...Allowing that kind of duality is, I think, really engaging for the audience.”

Between video clips of Taymor talking about her craft and diagrams of the various apparatuses that make the show tick—including a cart called the “gazelle wheel” covered in animal-shaped cutouts that give the impres-

sion of gazelles leaping when it’s rolled across stage—other members of the cast performed.

Highlights included when Adrienne Walker, who plays Nala, delivered a powerful rendition of “Shadowland,” one of the songs created specifically for the Broadway performance, and when Dashaun Young, who plays Simba, joined her on stage for a playful performance of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”

Goba also returned to give a demonstration of the African dialects incorporated into the show, holding forth in her native click language, Zulu, to the delight of the audience. At the end of her sassy monologue, Goba revealed that she’d been telling the audience to hurry up and buy tickets to the show.

Those who want to do just that are advised to act fast—tickets start at just $30, running through $175 at the high end, and have been on sale since mid-June. It’s worth noting, too, that those in Boise’s deaf or hard of hearing community won’t be left out, as ASL Interpretation will offered Thursday, Oct. 25, for the 7:30 p.m. show.

OPERA IDAHO SHINES MODERN SPOTLIGHT ON THE LEGEND OF DON GIOVANNI

GEORGE PRENTICE Aside from whatever else Don Giovanni has meant to the art world since Mozart unleashed its power in 1787, its story, based on the notorious legend of Don Juan, has been a dramatic wellspring for the ages. Its themes of abusive sexual power, deception and revenge can be traced from its 18th-century debut to today’s procedural crime dramas on network television.

“I recall reading an article, and even hearing a podcast, about the TV show Law and Order SVU and how victims of sexual assault are attracted to the show because they’re allowed to tell their stories. They’re listened to, they’re believed and they get justice. In essence, that encapsulates what happens in Don Giovanni,” Andrew Nienaber (left), director of Opera Idaho’s Don Giovanni, is joined by co-stars said Director Andrew Nienaber, whose 2018 Marina Harris (center) and Kyu Won Han (right). production of Don Giovanni brings the show back to Opera Idaho for the first time in nearly two decades. “The assault victims that we see in excited about singing, this time, in the Egyptian “In this moment, I’ve felt more comfortthe show tell their stories, they’re heard, they’re Theatre.” able in coming forward to say that I’m a believed and, in the ultimate justice of all, Harris, who made her Opera Idaho debut in victim of sexual assault.

“An audience has no choice but to relate what’s happening on stage to what’s happening in the world.”

The Cake will run through Friday, Oct. 26.

THE CAKE PUTS POLITICS CENTER STAGE Even if national politics isn’t your cup of tea, there’s a good chance you remember the Supreme Court faceoff between a Colorado baker and the gay couple whose wedding cake he refused to make. The baker cited a religious objection to creating the cake, and on June 4, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with him, ruling that his choice was protected by religious freedom. More recently, a similar case before Britain’s Supreme Court saw the same outcome on Oct. 10, with the court ruling that a baker’s refusal to make a cake for a gay customer inscribed with the message “Support Gay Marriage” wasn’t sexual discrimination.

Art, as they say, imitates life. And starting with a preview on Thursday, Oct. 18, Alley Repertory Theater will debut the comedic play The Cake at the Visual Arts Collective in Garden City. While the synopsis for The Cake reads like a play on recent political events, Director Buffie Main of ART said it’s actually based on This Is Us playwright Bekah Brunstetter’s reallife experience asking a family friend to create a cake for her same-sex wedding. That realism may be what saves the production from what could otherwise have been a partisan throughline: Because all of the characters are based on the the writer’s close friends, The Cake is a political story that refuses to dehumanize or take sides.

“What I loved the most about the show is that [the characters] all have a really strong belief system, and all of those people are well-represented and we still have compassion for every side of the topic,” Main said, adding, “It’s just a delightful show. It’s funny, but it’s also written really well.”

The production will run through Friday, Oct. 26, with intermittent evening performances and a matinee on Sunday, Oct. 21. Main said she hopes The Cake will spur discussion of its same-sex marriage and religious themes, but also churn up thoughts on the broader topics of love and marriage. Debates will be enlivened by the fact that The Cake itself doesn’t offer any answers, instead focusing on character growth and evolution.

“I think it’s a very realistic ending, but there’s no resolution,” Main said. “I think the thing is, no one wins. And maybe that’s the part of it that’s powerful.”

Amsterdam Lounge will need a bit more time to rebound from damage from an Oct. 13 fire.

THE FIRE THAT SOAKED AMSTERDAM In the early morning hours of Oct. 13, a heat lamp set into the wall of the Brickyard Steakhouse scorched a wooden appetizer tray, causing a fire that spread up the wall and set off a pair of sprinkler heads at Amsterdam Lounge next door.

“They worked great,” said Amsterdam Owner Ted Challenger about the firesuppression sprinklers. “The Brickyard and Amsterdam got minor damage.”

By Oct. 15, Brickyard was again open for business, albeit with a slight smell coming from the kitchen, but the measures at Amsterdam that kept the fire from spreading ultimately caused damage to roughly one-third of a bar area in an art exhibition/special events/overflow space that could take longer to repair.

“I should probably have that section open again within a week, due to the fact that we have amazing firefighters,” Challenger said.

It had only been a month since another of Challenger’s bars, nearby dance club China Blue, announced it would close for renovations as workers repair the roof and replaced beams supporting an air conditioning unit. He said he expects some movement this week from Boise City Hall, which would allow continued renovation of the historic building.

In a video posted on Facebook hours after the fire broke out, Challenger encouraged fans of Amsterdam to continue visiting the bar, saying that while the renovations to China Blue and damage at Amsterdam have dinged his cash flow, they’re not critical blows to Boise’s Main Street nightlife scene. In an interview with Boise Weekly, he said he was grateful the damage wasn’t more extensive.

“I feel lucky in both these instances.

I mean, with the roof, yeah, I’m out for a while, but imagine if those air conditioners came down on top of a dance floor, or imagine if that fire spread to the whole place,” Challenger said. “... Bad things happen, but I’m lucky they weren’t really bad, that they’re things you can come back from.”

THE GENESIS OF STREETWEAR IN BOISE Deathproof Coffee and Genesis Project will host a runway show, pop-up and concert BRIAN MILL AR In its latest edition to hit European newsstands, British GQ wrote that when it comes to fashion, streetwear is leading the conversation and is, in fact, “the new luxury.” In today’s digital world, street-wise brands are lighting up social media platforms like Instagram and gaining levels of popularity that didn’t exist a decade ago. But with no clear steps on how to create a brand, there’s a new order to the fashion playing field.

To that end, Genesis Project, a Boise-based high-end streetwear company, will have a runway show on Friday, Oct. 19, at Deathproof Coffee, a recent addition to the 10000 block of Fairview Avenue. The show will feature 14 models and seven new designs, though only two will be released and available for purchase. Organizers will also host a pop-up shop and concert, including performances from local hip-hop/rap artists MJD, Tree City Mafia, ROSSFILMS, Dami Exodus, and Ylti.

Genesis Project was founded in 2015 with the goal of inspiring people to live their passion.

It was more of a conceptual design company in its early days, and co-owners Riley Robertson and Mikel Bengoa said they were trying to find their footing.

“We didn’t really sell anything back then.

It was more of a project and experimental point where we tried to figure out where we were going to fit,” said Robertson. “Were we high-end? Were we streetwear? We were trying to find our niche.”

But since Genesis began selling its product about a year ago, Robertson said the brand has made great progress. A stylized take on everyday wear, the style of the Genesis Project brand reads as an intersection between the athleisure of YEEZY and the graphic style of OFF-White.

And though it has found its niche in the vein of streetwear, Robertson said that label doesn’t define Genesis.

Genesis Project co-founder Riley Robertson: “We want people to know that you can start from a new beginning, hence the name ‘Genesis.’”

“We don’t fit into a box,” he said. “We like to aim for a high-end street style, but we create anything that comes to the mind, comes to the heart. Our slogan is ‘Expressing interior through exterior.’ We want to express our feelings and thoughts, and put them into the world through our designs.”

The brand was more or less born out of the idea of the American Dream—that people can achieve their goals if they apply themselves. Through hard work and determination, however those might be defined, success can be within reach.

“We want people to know that you can start from a new beginning, hence the name ‘Genesis,’” said Robertson. “Start pursuing anything that you want and use it as a career.

Don’t limit yourself.”

“Youth” was the ultimate inspiration for the Genesis Project brand. Bengoa said young people inspired him when he was admitted to RAW Artists, a collective of artists from varying disciplines, because they haven’t yet been molded by society, and express themselves without fear of judgment.

Genesis Project offers a wide range of products, from long-sleeved t-shirts to hats and fanny packs. Robertson said that eventually, the company would like to break into the European market and source materials from across the pond. Right now, Genesis Project is primarily outsourcing domestically, doing small runs

of product until they sell out. With its latest collection, though, the brand hopes to achieve a higher-end aesthetic.

“We started out buying and printing on shirts, but now we’re getting more into the high-end streetwear look, so we’ll get into more cut-and-sew custom pieces,” said Robertson.

“We’re drafting the patterns and doing all of the sewing, stitching [and] labeling in-house.”

Robertson said that when Genesis Project started looking for venues for its upcoming show, Deathproof stood out because of its willingness to collaborate. Deathproof Owner Mike Verlennich and his son, Nik, were very encouraging, and it was their cooperation that made Robertson and Bengoa choose Deathproof as a venue.

“We found them and they showed us a stage area they have that has a capacity of 500 people,” said Robertson. “They’re really passionate about what they’re doing, and that really resonated with us and what we’re doing. They asked us, ‘What is your biggest and wildest dream for this and how can we make that happen?’ That’s when we knew that this was the spot.”

An important note to attendees: The runway show starts promptly at 7 p.m. and the doors will close, so Robertson advises getting there around 6:30 p.m. to see the runway event. Once the runway ends, the doors will reopen, at which point the concert and pop-up will begin.

She’s a 32-year-old editor, creative consultant and success coach who ran the national magazine Healthy Living Made Simple at the age of 27 and served as a ghostwriter for a Nobel Prize-winning pharmacologist. She’s also a mother of two, and recently moved with her husband and kids from her hometown of Boise to Thailand.

He’s a 65-year-old business advisor, public speaker, author of several books, and president and CEO of a global executive consultant firm that bears his name.

Together, Stacy Ennis and Ron Price are the unlikely co-authors of Growing Influence: A Story of How to Lead with Character, Expertise and Impact. There are a number of things that make the book a must-read, beginning with the fact that it frames the story at Slow by Slow, the popular slow-pour coffee shop in downtown Boise’s BoDo neighborhood.

Perhaps the most intriguing element of Growing Influence is that it doesn’t necessarily fall into one book category. It’s what Ennis and Price call a “business fable,” weaving a very particular tale of a young woman tech manager facing continued workplace discrimination until a retired Boise CEO helps her navigate those professional minefields.

Quite appropriately, Ennis and Price sat down with Boise Weekly inside Slow by Slow to talk about their book.

Right up front, Ron, I’d like to ask you about public speaking. You’ve done that for decades and have coached thousands of people on what you call “practical optimism.”

Price: It’s always about speaking about something you believe in. I try to steer people away from speaking about things they’ve been told to speak about, yet [they] don’t have any conviction about those things. The most important thing an audience is looking for is authenticity. One of the problems I have with a lot of professional speakers is that, over time, they grow a facade. They believe that if they fake it well, you’ll believe them.

Ennis: There are those unique moments when you can become emotionally engaged with your audience because you care deeply about what you’re saying. There’s nothing in the world that

feels anything quite like that, and you can’t get to that moment any other way.

Let’s dive into your book. Can I assume that it didn’t start out as a fable??

Price: Stacy had helped edit a number of books that I had written or co-written. I had been speaking on leadership models for many years, and a number of my team members kept saying, “Ron, we need to get some of your ideas into another book.” I said, “No, I just don’t know how to shape it into a book.” But they just kept badgering me. In 2015 I recorded one of my presentations and sent it to Stacy. At that point, I thought it was a nonfiction business book. But then one day, I sent her an email that read, “I think I might be crazy, but I just don’t think this is impressive as nonfiction.”

Ennis: I’ve written eight or nine nonfiction books, I’ve edited dozens more, and have been involved in some way with about a hundred books. Nonfiction is very comfortable for me. My initial reaction was, “Okay, I’ve never done this before, but I love a good challenge.”

Plus, I also have a background in art, sculpture and painting, so bringing together those skills was pretty special. Writing fiction was very satisfying.

I would actually come here to Slow by Slow, order some great pour-over coffee, and begin to feel some immense joy in putting this together.

Your story begins with a young woman, Emily, sitting right here at Slow by Slow.

Ennis: She’s a 30-year-old leader in technology. She’s in a manager training program, but she’s not being promoted. Jobs keep opening but she gets passed over. Friends say, “It’s interesting that men keep getting promoted, but you’re not.”

She doesn’t want to believe it, but she also feels helpless.

And then one day, sitting here at Slow by Slow…

Ennis: She spills her coffee.

Price: And David is sitting on the other side of the coffee shop. He’s about 70 years old, a retired

CEO. He comes here every morning, has some coffee and reads the paper. He sees Emily spill her coffee and walks over to see if he can help her.

Ennis: Emily is frustrated because she’s in the middle of putting together a big presentation and she has lost some of her notes, and then the big spill happens. She’s pretty dismissive to David, pushing him away and saying, “Thank you, sir, but I’ve got this. No problem.” Eventually, Emily heads off to her presentation, and she kills it. In fact, she feels it’s the presentation of her life. But her manager tells her that they’ve offered the promotion to yet another man. She hits a new low.

But soon thereafter, back here at Slow by Slow, David reconnects with Emily.

Ennis: He asks her a very deeply personal question: “Are you fulfilling what you’re meant to fulfill in your life?” And she can’t stop thinking about the question. That really sets our book into motion.

Price: You know Stacy, I’ve never said this to you before, but this book is really a love story.

Not a romance, but a love story between two people who grow to appreciate one another.

Ennis: I can’t tell you how proud I am of this.

BEER GUZZLER ALL HAIL FRESH HOP ALES

DOUBLE MOUNTAIN KILLER RED FRESH HOP IRA, $4.49-$5.99 This bright copper ale from Hood River is topped with a porous, fairly thin head that hangs around. It’s more complex than you’d expect from a fresh hop brew, with aromas of baked apple, pineapple, caramel, spice and a hint of fruity hops. Those hops resonate in the mouth, backed by ripe fruit, caramel and malt.

MOTHER EARTH BREW CO. FRESH AS IT GETS FRESH HOP INDIA PALE ALE, $2.79-$3.19 The hops for this Nampa brewery are grown just a 30-minute drive away. It’s a dark straw pour with a light head that leaves a frothy lacing. The aromas center around lively, citrus-laced hops with just a touch of grain.

Crisp and refreshing on the palate, you get lightly balanced malt, ripe lime and a long, dry finish with this beer.

SAWTOOTH BREWERY NO FRIENDS ON A FRESH HOP DAY HAZY CITRA IPA, $1.99-$2.29 This Hailey entry pours a cloudy straw color with a thick, powdery head, leaving a sticky lacing. Earthy hops lead off on the nose, along with fresh-cut grass and a touch of blood orange.

This one is all about the Idaho Citra hops, with a nice bitterness from start to finish, colored by tropical fruit and lime zest.

FOOD

L E X N E L SON

‘Tis the season—harvest season that is, and that means fields of fresh hops. Idaho is home to some the best in the northwest, so this is a chance for local breweries to strut their stuff. Two entries hail from the home state, locked in a virtual tie for the brew with the longest name. The third, with a more minimalist moniker, is from Oregon and takes advantage of hops grown in nearby Willamette.

A LAMB IN EVERY OVEN

At the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, Idaho-raised lamb takes center plate LE X NEL SON When it first began in 1997, the Trailing of the Sheep Festival was less about eating lamb and more about appreciating where it comes from: namely, the fields and mountain ranges surrounding Sun Valley, which has a history of shepherding that dates back to the 1860s. In recent years, though, the festival’s emphasis has shifted. This year, lamb-focused events for foodies, including farm-to-table dinners, a Taste & Craft food and drink event, cooking classes and a “For the Love of Lamb” cross-town tasting scramble, filled the festival’s five-day calendar.

“Certainly the focus on food has grown over the years,” said festival Advisory Council Member Carol Waller, citing an increase in food tourism as a motivating factor. “Food was always integral, but there are more options now.”

That spike has mirrored a major push by the Denver, Colorado-based American Lamb Board to “demystify” lamb—particularly Americanraised lamb—as an alternative to beef for the dinner table.

“It’s really festivals like this that are helping us do that,” Lamb Board Executive Director Megan Wortman told a group of reporters at Sun Valley’s Limelight Hotel, where the 2018 Trailing of the Sheep Festival was headquartered. “...We are a premium-priced protein in the meat case, but the industry has come leaps and bounds in the last 10 years in terms of the versatility and variety of cuts at grocery stores.”

Though newly available ground lamb is starting to make strides with mainstream customers, it’s still considered a gourmet meat, and Wortman said her organization sells most of its supply directly to high-end grocery stores and the chefs of five-star restaurants.

Chef Sean Temple, who heads the kitchen at Warfield Distillery & Brewery in Ketchum, counts himself among that number. On Oct. 12, he tied on his apron and put his lamb expertise on display for a cooking class at Warfield.

“We work with our ranchers and try to get the cuts that no one else does, like neck and belly,” Temple told the group, which included festival-goers from New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Texas, Missouri, Colorado and New Mexico, along with Idahoans. As he spoke, he

Chef Sean Temple created a lamb gnocchi dish for the Trailing of the Sheep Festival.

started to prep ingredients for the dish he was making: spinach ricotta gnocchi with braised lamb shoulder and preserved Meyer lemon.

Assisted by a volunteer, Temple stood at a high table in the center of Warfield’s bar space to saute garlic and onions, sear a whole 3-pound lamb shoulder and mix, roll and cut nuggets of flour-based gnocchi, dyed green with spinach powder (he dehydrated the leaves, then ground them himself ) and blended with fresh housemade ricotta. As he did, the stockbroker-turnedchef let the crowd in on a secret.

“I like braising lamb with white wine [instead of the typical red],” he said. “I think the white is more subtle and really lets the lamb flavor come out.”

To get the same rich color in the braising liquid, he advised searing half of an onion jet black and adding it to the dish before it goes into the oven, a trick he’d learned cooking with a French-Haitian chef years ago, who’d offered him an onion, then held up his palm and instructed, “Make it blacker than my hand.”

Temple also advised serving the lamb with a glass of white, and the Warfield bar poured a crisp, fruity Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio 2017 that paired beautifully with the final dish: tender, fork-shredded lamb, which served as the perfect counterpoint to herbaceous gnocchi; creamy, barely-there ricotta; just-wilted spinach and the sour-sweet punch of house-preserved Meyer lemon.

If dishes of that caliber start to appear on American tables, there’s no doubt Wortman’s hopes for lamb will bear out.

“We really think American lamb is positioned to have a real renaissance … a real revolution,” she said. “People are finally discovering lamb again.”

CHEF SEAN TEMPLE’S BRAISED LAMB SHOULDER INGREDIENTS: 3 to 4 lb. boneless lamb shoulder 4 tbsp. olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, halved and sliced to quarter-inch thickness 1/2 medium yellow onion, blackened 6 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups dry white wine 3 tbsp. good-quality Dijon mustard 1 tbsp. fresh chopped thyme, or 1 tsp. dry Salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS: Add the olive oil to a heavy Dutch oven or stew pot over medium heat. When hot, add the shoulder in chunks or whole depending on the pot size, in batches if necessary. Cook the lamb, turning until browned on all sides, for 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Remove the lamb, and add the chopped onions and garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring infrequently, until the onions are lightly browned.

Then remove both the onions and garlic, and set them aside.

In a bowl, combine the dry white wine with the mustard, salt, pepper and thyme. Blend the mixture well with a spoon or whisk. Then, add the sauce to the pot and cook it for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol.

Return the onions, lamb and garlic to the pot.

Then, add water so that the liquid in the pot rises about two-thirds of the way up the meat. Do not submerge the lamb.

Add the blackened onion, then braise the dish in a 300-degree oven, covered, for 2-3 hours or until the lamb is very tender.

Let the meat cool in the liquid, and once it’s cool to the touch, shred it with a fork for serving.

Here’s the gloss on The Curious Incident: When the neighbor’s dog, Wellington, is found after meeting a grisly end, 15-year-old math whiz Christopher must become a sleuth to find its killer. The Curious Incident was originally a 2003 novel that was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize and a book club favorite, but the story has proved portable. Playwright Simon Stephens’ stage adaptation, which will run at Boise Contemporary Theatre through Saturday, Nov. 10, tied the record for the most Olivier Awards (seven wins) after it debuted in 2012, and snagged a Tony award in 2015 for Best New Play. Unlike the book, though, the play centers on a schoolteacher reading Christopher’s story aloud in segments.

HORRIFIC PUPPET AFFAIR

EVOLUTION DANCE: CIRQUE MAUDIT

There are no strings holding down the Horrific Puppet Affair. Over the last seven years, this puppet show has gone from a novelty to an honest-to-puppeteer Halloween tradition, and it’s as iconically Boise as marching up Simplot’s Hill for a silver dollar. For the last four years, Woodland Empire Ale Craft has hosted HPA, but this will be the first season that HomeGrown Theatre, which puts on the show, will throw down at its new location, the Gem Center for the Arts. Check out its eight short Halloween-y plays by the likes of Alan Heathcock and Josh Gross, and directors like Dwayne Blackaller of Boise Contemporary Theater, HGT Co-founder Jaime Nebeker and Dayna Smith of Campfire Theatre Festival. While puppets and shadow-plays have a childish feel to them, viewers should be aware that this is entertainment for mature audiences.

Check online for dates and times, $5-$35.

Gem Center for the Arts, 2417 Bank Drive, facebook.com/HGTheatre.

Deep in the French Alps is a network of peaks called Cirque Maudit, or the Infernal Circus. It’s a forbidding place, where stony fingers reaching for the sky surround a pristine snowfield. In the late 1800s, this terrifying spot gave its name to a raucous French circus and burlesque tradition that turned legends of a haunted alpine landscape into a blur of fantasy, the erotic and the off-limits. For two nights, Evolution Dance is bringing that tradition to Garden City, where it will perform Cirque Maudit days ahead of Halloween. While the classic Infernal Circus is a rated-R affair, Evolution has toned down the sexuality and mock horror, but never fear: These performances will still have the devil’s share of horror, sensuality and adult language. Head over to “discover the curse behind the glittering lights.”

When it appears on stage at The Olympic on Thursday, Oct. 25, Young Jesus won’t be the star of the show—but that’s no reason to dismiss the Los Angeles-based band, which weds punk roots with jazz rhythms to create “art rock.” Opening for indie act Ian Sweet, Young Jesus will spin dense, instrumental tracks to promote the brand-new album The Whole Thing Is Just There (Saddle Creek, 2018). The record is equal parts odd and revelatory. In “Deterritory,” singer John Rossiter shouts discordantly into the microphone about pain, empathy and the pitfalls of religion. Then “Saganism vs. Buddhism,” he ruminates about consulting mystics before launching into experimental digression—a contrast that perfectly captures the album’s ebb and flow. So, a word of advice: If you go to to Ian Sweet’s show, don’t be late.

In February, the Yale University acapella group The Whiffenpoofs broke with over 100 years of tradition to induct its first woman, Sofia Campoamor, who sings first tenor. Though Campoamor’s inclusion was groundbreaking, attendees of The Whiffs’ concert at Borah High School on Monday, Oct. 22, will see that although the faces in the group have changed, its top-notch sound has not. Claiming the title of the nation’s oldest collegiate a cappella group (the inaugural Whiffenpoofs, then a quartet, met and sang at the renowned Mory’s Temple Bar in 1909), this year’s Whiffs are a group of 14 Yale seniors, known, as those before them, for their flawless harmonies, daunting international touring schedule and boundless charm. On Monday, the group will perform a selection of classics, sans instruments, that are sure to blow back the hair of even the most fastidious of music buffs.

LIFE, CONDENSED

The Knitting Factory is still recovering from the Sept. 11 fire.

Parker Millsap lets loose with Other Arrangements BEN SCHULTZ

AFTER FIRE, THE REEF TO HOST KNITTING FACTORY EMPLOYEE FUNDRAISER Outside the Knitting Factory Concert House on Sept. 11, employees from The Knit and other nearby businesses filled the sidewalks to watch firefighters do their thing and battle a blaze that damaged 60 percent of the building.

“The restoration process at the Knitting Factory is moving along quickly but we don’t have any additional details yet on a reopening date,” wrote Knitting Factory General Manager Gary Pike in an email. “So far, our main focus has been to clean up and remove everything that was damaged by smoke and water.”

A fundraiser at The Reef, the Sixth Street restaurant, bar and concert venue, aims to keep employees of The Knit out of the lurch.

On Friday, Oct. 19, Rocking the Country will roll into The Reef for five hours of country music, and all funds raised will support the Knitting Factory staff displaced by the fire.

The Reef concert showcases eight acts— Corey James of Fall Creek String Band, Pinto Bennett of Pinto Bennett & The Famous Motel Cowboys, Dustin Isaac of The Tumbleweeds, Cliff Miller, Jesse Dayne & The Sagebrush Drifters, Dave Nudo Band, Dusty Leigh & The Claim Jumpers, and Jensen Buck & The Family—hosted by Tim Meyer of Channel 99. There will be a $5 cover for the 21-and-over show and raffle items from supporting businesses.

The Reef Booking Manager Garren Spinato called The Knitting Factory and its workers “part of our community” when explaining the event, which will be the second fundraiser for Knitting Factory employees. The first took place at Mardi Gras Sept. 23.

Wade Huston, a member of Dusty Leigh & The Claim Jumpers and one of the chief organizers of the fundraiser at The Reef, said he already has a “room full” of swag for the auction, including a Taurus 9mm handgun, a Fender Telecaster-style guitar, stays at local hotels and more. He said the fundraiser is his way of saying “thank you” to The Knit.

“That’s probably our favorite place to play in the valley. A lot of the stage crews, a lot of the lighting and sound guys, they’re the ones that are kind of just sitting around waiting for the venue to open back up so they can go to work,” Huston said.

—Harrison Berry 22 | OCTOBER 17–23, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

While touring behind his new album, Other Arrangements (Thirty Tigers/Okrahoma Records, 2018), Parker Millsap has noticed a change in his audiences’ behavior.

“It’s been great—people move more during the show, which I think was one of my hopes,” he said with a laugh. “You know, when there were chairs and the venue people sold [tickets] by the chair, they put them aside.”

It’s easy to guess why. With his latest release, the 24-year-old, Nashville-based singer-songwriter moved away from the brooding, acoustic folk-blues of earlier albums like The Very Last Day (Okrahoma Records, 2016) in favor of swaggering, electric rock and pop.

It’s quite a change of pace, but Millsap always believed the album would win listeners over.

“This one is actually the first one that I felt really confident about before it came out,” he said. “Everything up until this point, there’s been this real nervousness—‘What’s gonna happen when it comes out?’ But with this one, I don’t know if it’s because I believe in the songs more or I’ve done it enough times that I don’t have to freak out every time. There’s always that little bit of nervous energy, but the songs are really fun to play. And if they’re fun to play, hopefully they’re fun to listen to.”

Reviews of the album suggest that Millsap’s hopes have been realized. Rolling Stone called Other Arrangements “his tightest, sharpest and most infectious set of songs to date.” NPR’s Jewly Hight praised the album’s witty lyrics and dynamic vocals, finding Millsap “more magnetic than ever.”

Boiseans can judge Millsap’s new material for themselves when he and his band play The Olympic on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

Growing up in Oklahoma, Millsap listened to a wide range of artists. Hearing bluesmen like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, and songwriters like Robert Earle Keen and J.J. Cale made him think about making his own music.

“Bob Dylan did that for me,” he added.

“Lyle Lovett did that for me and still does.

There’s a bunch of random ones. Ry Cooder’s guitar playing, that was a big exclamation point going off in my head when I first discovered it—‘What is that? How is he making that sound? Why does it make me feel good?’”

Rolling Stone called Other Arrangements Millsap’s “tightest, sharpest and most infectious set of songs to date.”

Millsap also found inspiration closer to home.

As an adolescent, he took guitar lessons from Travis Linville, a fellow Oklahoman who has worked and toured with such acclaimed songwriters as John Fullbright, John Moreland and Hayes Carll.

The Oklahoma Gazette once called Linville “the Oklahoma roots scene’s Swiss Army knife, a guy who can do a little bit of everything and has done a little bit of that for everyone.”

“He had to quit giving me lessons because he was going on tour,” Millsap said. “He got a good road gig and was not teaching guitar lessons anymore. And then it clicked: ‘Oh, this isn’t just a hobby for people.’ I’d never quite put it together, I guess, that there was something between rock star and teaching guitar lessons.”

Following the release of his debut solo album Palisades (Okrahoma Records, 2012), Millsap started getting attention for both his songwriting and his live shows. A performance at Nashville’s Tin Pan South songwriting festival in 2013 helped him score opening slots for Old Crow Medicine Show, including a New Year’s Eve concert at the Ryman Auditorium. Since then, Millsap has performed on Conan and Austin City Limits, earned big-name fans like Rosanne Cash and Elton John, and was named Artist of the Year at the 2017 International Folk Music Awards.

Anguished, vividly detailed ballads like “Heaven Sent,” about a young gay man spurned by his preacher father, established Millsap as a talented songwriter. His earlier work hasn’t always given listeners the right impression of him, though.

“I’ve written so many sad-ass songs that eventually, people kind of start to assume that I’m a sad person,” he said. “I’m not, you know?”

He sees the up-tempo numbers on Other Arrangements as adding some welcome variety to his songbook and live sets. By mixing rousing, funny rock songs like “Fine Line” and “Some People” with his more somber material, he can create “an emotionally complex show, which I think is the ultimate goal of most artists: to provide life condensed, all of the entire spectrum of emotion.”

Millsap is already brainstorming ideas for new songs, but for now, he’s happy just to see what happens on tour.

“It’s always a surprise,” he said. “Even if we play the same venues, a lot of times the crowd is different every night. That’s exciting for me: Every night, there’s this collection of people that… will probably never be in the same room together again.”

SCREEN REDFORD’S LAST HOLDUP: ROBBING BANKS AND STEALING HEARTS COURTESY FOX SE ARCHLIGHT

The return of the Sundance Kid, this time in The Old Man & the Gun GEORGE PRENTICE I’ll be the first to admit that I’m accustomed to asking the same question two, three, even four times, if someone isn’t giving a straight answer.

That said, I also know when not to push my luck, particularly with Robert Redford.

Knowing that I might only get a minute, maybe two, with the legend, I inched my way up to the edge of the red carpet as Redford was about to walk into the premiere of The Old Man & the Gun at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Just a few weeks earlier, Redford had been the subject of a rather provocative interview with Entertainment Weekly, in which he he hinted that he might retire from acting after this, his latest film.

“I concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting,” Redford told EW in August.

Naturally, I had to ask Redford to confirm that The Old Man & the Gun would be a swan song.

Redford looked away and softly said, “Probably.” But then his famously blue eyes stared me down, as if it to say, “Now, get this right—I said ‘probably,’ not ‘definitely.’ Don’t misquote me.”

Oscar-winner Sissy Spacek (left) is along for the ride with Robert Redford (right) in The Old Man & the Gun.

“Probably,” he repeated, likely hoping that I would move on to ask him about something, anything, other than his possible retirement. I shifted the conversation to his attraction to The Old Man & the Gun, where he plays the charismatic and often audacious Forrest Tucker, who robbed scores of banks and escaped from prison 18 times.

“This movie… well, it fits my sensibility, doesn’t it?” asked Redford, comfortable again. “I’ve liked outlaws since I was a kid; I’ve

The Sisters Brothers is a slow-burn, must-see film GEORGE PRENTICE

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

The Sisters Brothers is a revisionist, often-coarse but always-terrific western. For sure, there are moments that crackle, but for the most part, the film is a slow burn, not unlike a pot of coffee left on the campfire a bit too long. It harkens to one of legendary director Robert Altman’s best movies, 1971’s McCabe and Mrs. Miller, another slowburner which redefined the genre.

Charlie Sisters (Joaquin Phoenix) and his brother Eli (John C. Reilly) are hired guns sent on a fool’s errand by a mysterious boss known only as the Commodore (a rare appearance from Rutger Hauer) to track not a ruthless mastermind, but an odd, law-abiding chemist (Riz Ahmed). It turns out that the chemist has invented some kind of magical elixir able to yield more treasure out of gold-bearing rivers and streams. In the old west,

HOW THE WEST WAS WORN I must admit, I let out a wicked snicker when I overheard would-be audience members waiting in line to see the soon-to-premiere The Sisters Brothers at the Toronto International Film Festival speculating about the film. Some had guessed that they were about to see a frat-boy comedy.

“I mean, really. Just look at the title: The Sisters Brothers. This has to be a comedy,” said one.

“And It’s got John C. Reilly in it. It has to be hilarious. You know, like that Step Brothers movie he did with Will Ferrell,” guessed another.

Minutes after the lights went down and The Sisters Brothers’ body count began to pile up, those same unsuspecting audience members were immersed in an adaptation of Patrick deWitt’s harsh novel of the same name. Set in Oregon circa 1851 and directed by Jacques Audiard (Rust and Bone),

played that out in my work, haven’t I?” If Redford will indeed step away from his sterling, 60-year acting career, he’ll be going out on a high note. He steals the show (and more than a few hearts) in The Old Man & the Gun. To date, his only Oscar is for directing the 1980 film Ordinary People, but don’t be terribly surprised if he earns one final Oscar nod, this time for Best Actor. Now, that would “probably” be a fine way to ride into the sunset.

Joaquin Phoenix (left) and John C. Reilly (right) are The Sisters Brothers.

gold meant wealth, wealth meant power and power usually meant somebody had to die. To director Audiard’s credit, The Sisters Brothers always feels authentic, like a well-worn, albeit blood- and alcohol-stained suit of clothes. The journey is as paramount as the destination.

Knocking at the back door can be a sensitive subject, so your boyfriend must be very comfortable, not only with you, but also with his sexuality, if he brought it up.

Our bodies have many ways of experiencing pleasure.

Why deny ourselves? My advice to avoid hurting him is to take it slow and start small. You likely appreciate it when a man takes it gently initially to minimize discomfort when penetrating you. Apply this to how you treat him, check in with him on how he’s feeling, and remember that lubricant is your friend. As for not wanting to be dominant, think about this: Just because you will be “on top” doesn’t mean you are “in charge.” Doing this at his behest and for his pleasure is submitting to his will. Why not throw in some language to maintain your respective roles? Your mighty steed is in need, so saddle up, Sue! It’s time to ride!

PAGE BREAK Yes, it’s still October, but midterm election day—Tuesday, Nov. 6, for those who aren’t as politically obsessed as we are—is already looming, bringing with it a new edition of the age-old question: How can we get more Americans to vote? Following the 2016 presidential election, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that just 61.4 percent of the votingage population took to the polls, and the Pew Research Center says that turnout always drops for midterm elections, often by as much as 20 percent. There are initiatives working to change that trend nationwide, but one Boise-based organization, BABE VOTE, is taking a visual tack this fall, pushing non-partisan voter registration and assistance (particularly for women and minorities) with stickers, hats, t-shirts, hoodies and more, all emblazoned with the bold BABE VOTE logo.

“BABE VOTE started as an altered piece of artwork that I spotted on Facebook,” Founder Amber Donahue told Boise Weekly. “I liked the look, the black-on-white, and I tracked down the artist and licensed the brand for the entire U.S. … Our concept is very simple: Wear and share the logo, post to social media and get people to register to vote.”

To inspire votes with fashion, order your own BABE VOTE swag online at babevote.org.

ASTROLOGY LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time,” wrote Libran author Oscar Wilde. “The reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised; for the question often arrives a long time after the answer.” That’s the weird news, Libra. You have been waiting and waiting to understand a project that you set in motion many moons ago. It has been frustrating to give so much energy to a goal that has sometimes confused you. But here’s the good news: Soon you will finally formulate the question your project has been the answer to. And so at last you will understand it. You’ll feel vindicated, illuminated, and resolved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many seekers who read horoscope columns want common-sense advice about love, career, money and power. So I hope I don’t disappoint you by predicting that you will soon have a mystical experience or spiritual epiphany. Let me add, however, that this delightful surprise won’t merely be an entertaining diversion with no useful application. In fact, I suspect it will have the potential of inspiring good ideas about love, career, money or power. If I had to give the next chapter of your life story a title, it might be “A Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Practical Magic.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1962, when she was 31 years old, Sagittarian actress Rita Moreno won an Academy Award for her role in the film West Side Story. In 2018, she attended the Oscars again, sporting the same dress she’d worn for the ceremony 56 years before. I think the coming weeks will be a great time for you, too, to reprise a splashy event or two from the past. You’ll generate soul power by reconnecting with your roots. You’ll tonify and harmonize your mental health by establishing a symbolic link with your earlier self.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Committee to Reward Unsung Good Deeds hereby acknowledges your meritorious service in the trenches of the daily routine. We praise your tireless efforts to make life less chaotic and more coherent for everyone around you. We’re grateful for the patience and poise you demonstrate as you babysit adults who act like children. And we are gratified by your capacity to keep long-term projects on track in the face of trivial diversions and petty complaints. I know it’s a lot to ask, but could you please intensify your vigilance in the next three weeks? We need your steadiness more than ever.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You need a special pep talk that’s best provided by Aquarian poet Audre Lorde. Please meditate on these four quotes by her. 1. “Caring for myself is not selfindulgence, it is self-preservation.” 2. “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.” 3. “You cannot use someone else’s fire. You can only use your own. To do that, you must first be willing to believe you have it.” 4. “Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.” 5. “The learning process is something you can literally incite, like a riot.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning: My horoscopes may interfere with your ability to rationalize your delusions; they could extinguish your enthusiasm for cliches; they might cause you to stop repressing urges that you really should express; and they may influence you to cultivate the state of awareness known as “playful wisdom.” Do you really want to risk being exposed to such lavish amounts of inner freedom? If not, you should stop reading now. But if you’re as ripe for emancipating adventures as I think you are, then get started on shedding any attitudes and influences that might dampen your urge to romp and cavort and carouse.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Humraaz is a word in the Urdu language. Its literal meaning is “secret sharer.” It refers to a confidante, a person in whom you have full trust and to whom you

The No -Clog Guarantee*

BY ROB BREZSNY can confess your core feelings. Is there such a character in your life? If so, seek him or her out for assistance in probing into the educational mysteries you have waded into. If there is no such helper you can call on, I advise you to do whatever’s necessary to attract him or her into your sphere. A collaborative quest may be the key to activating sleeping reserves of your soul wisdom.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Roberto Bolano suggests that the world contains more beauty than many people realize. The full scope and intensity of this nourishing beauty “is only visible to those who love.” When he speaks of “those who love,” I suspect he means deep-feeling devotees of kindness and compassion, hard-working servants of the greater good and free-thinking practitioners of the Golden Rule. In any case, Taurus, I believe you’re in a phase when you have the potential to see far more of the world’s beauty. For best results, supercharge your capacity to give and receive love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Once upon a time you were walking along a sidewalk when a fairy floated by and whispered, “I’m willing to grant you three wishy-washy wishes for free. You don’t have to do any favors for me in return. But I will grant you three wonderfully wise wishes if you perform three tasks for me.” You asked the fairy, “What would those three tasks be?” She replied, “The second task is that you must hoodwink the devil into allowing you to shave his hairy legs. The third task is that you must bamboozle God into allowing you to shave his bushy beard.” You laughed and said, “What’s the first task?” The fairy touched you on the nose with her tiny wand and said, “You must believe that the best way to achieve the impossible is to attempt the absurd.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Crabs tend to be the stockpilers and hoarders of the zodiac. The world’s largest collections of antique door knobs and Chinese restaurant menus and beer cans from the 1960s belong to Cancerian accumulators. But in alignment with possibilities hinted at by current astrological omens, I recommend that you redirect this inclination so it serves you better. How? One way would be to gather supplies of precious stuff that’s really useful to you. Another way would be to assemble a batch of blessings to bestow on people and animals who provide you with support.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Chinese mythology tells us there used to be 10 suns, all born from the mother goddess Xi He. Every 24 hours, she bathed her brood in the lake and placed them in a giant mulberry tree. From there, one sun glided out into the sky to begin the day while the other nine remained behind. It was a good arrangement. The week had 10 days back then, and each sun got its turn to shine.

But the siblings eventually grew restless with the staid rhythm. On one fateful morning, with a playful flourish, they all soared into the heavens at once. It was fun for them, but the earth grew so hot that nothing would grow. To the rescue came the archer Hou Yi. With his flawless aim, he used his arrows to shoot down nine of the suns, leaving one to provide just the right amount of light and warmth. The old tales don’t tell us, but I speculate that Hou Yi was a Leo.

“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.”

-poet Mary Oliver 3. “I like to wake up each morning and not know what I think, that I may reinvent myself in some way.” -actor and writer Stephen Fry 4. “I wanted space to watch things grow.” -singer Florence Welch.
