Yes, we know that the snow is ready to fly, but we’re already pretty excited about the Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s 2019 summer season. In the shadow of the company’s most successful season yet, which included box office-busting runs of Mama Mia! and Pride & Prejudice, I sat down with ISF Producing Artistic Director Charlie Fee to talk about lessons learned from this past summer and his excitement for next summer, which will bring Witness for the Prosecution, Julius Caesar, The Taming of the Shrew, The Music Man and Million Dollar Quartet. Check out our conversation on pages 6 and 7. Next, BW’s Lex Nelson previews the much-anticipated return to Idaho of The African Children’s Choir. Just before the choir’s appearance at Grace Lutheran Church in Caldwell, Lex spoke with the tour leader for the story you’ll find on page 8. For a change of pace, on page 9, Lex previews the next big screen installment in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. As they anxiously await the film, fans young and old have been attending some pretty fantastic events in the Treasure Valley. On page 10, I sit down with Ada County Commissioner-elect Diana Lachiondo. A newcomer to the political arena, Lachiondo recently unseated incumbent Republican Jim Tibbs. She has some pretty ambitious hopes for the county, as you’ll read on page 10. Finally, I’ll return on page 12 to preview two big films slated to open this Friday, Nov. 16: Wildlife, starring the always-wonderful Carey Mulligan, and Boy Erased, co-starring Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman. —George Prentice, Editor

COURTESY IDAHO SHAKES PE ARE FESTIVAL

STAGE STRUCK: HOW IDAHO SHAKESPEARE CONTINUES TO RAISE THE BAR “If you’re not upping your game, what are you doing in life?” GEORGE PRENTICE

Cardinal Rule No. 1: Don’t bury the lead. The big news here is that the Idaho Shakespeare Festival will soon unveil its muchanticipated 2019 season: Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution; two Shakespeare productions, Julius Caesar and The Taming of the Shrew; and two musicals,The Music Man and Million Dollar Quartet. That slate will come in the wake of a 2018 season that was the talk of the town and broke all ISF box office records. Just days before ISF launches its season ticket sales for 2019, Producing Artistic Director Charlie Fee sat down with Boise Weekly to chat about his company’s recently wrapped season and the creative process of raising the bar for next year. When did you get your first inkling that the 2018 season might exceed expectations? We already knew there’s intrinsic growth in the community; and with that, our audience has been growing over time. The 2017 season was huge for us, so quite frankly, I had projected flat growth for 2018. I thought there was no way that we would see that kind of growth two years in a row. Our season ticket sales began last November, but by mid-December we were 40 percent ahead in sales of the previous year. 6 | NOVEMBER 14–20, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

Can we talk a bit about how Shakespeare festivals all around the world have adapted, introducing more contemporary plays and musicals? We’re a large company now, so I feel a responsibility to bring people into the theater. My job as a producer is to try to create the most interesting work on stage that we possibly can, work that we’re proud of. But if I’m not involving the whole community, then what really is the point? Look, we’ll do Julius Caesar next year and we’re really excited about that. About 10,000 people will come to see Julius Caesar. But about 22,000 people will come to see the musical. I think that by now everyone knows what a smash Mamma Mia! was for you this past summer. But then came Pride and Prejudice, and it was nearly impossible to get a ticket to either show. We didn’t see that coming. By the end of June, we couldn’t continue online sales. I called the box office and they said, “Charlie, we just don’t have any tickets.” It was stunning. Can I propose to you that there was a theme that ran through this last season? I’m fascinated. Tell me.

For many reasons, 2018 was a difficult year. My sense from all the people I spoke to at the amphitheater this summer—audiences and performers—was that the festival was a safe place. For certain, you entertained us and took us away from all the world’s turmoil for a couple of hours. But this year’s productions also challenged us, asked us to question the human experience. Nearly everyone I spoke to said, “There’s something different, something special going on at the amphitheater this summer.” Wow, I agree. There was some deep need to come together. There was an incredibly strong vibe in the house. It was one of those seasons when someone would come up to me after every show and say, “That’s my favorite show that you’ve ever done.”

HOW TO BUILD A SEASON Look at ISF’s schedule since it began in 1977 and you’ll see that in the first seven years of its existence, the company primarily performed Shakespeare. But beginning as early as the mid-1980’s, it began introducing comedies and dramas

outside of Shakespeare’s canon; and in 1988, the company performed its first musical production, Quilters. Through the next two decades, more contemporary plays and musicals were sprinkled into each season along with at least two Shakespeare productions. But then, beginning several years ago, Fee found an ideal formula that audiences immediately responded to. How do you start stacking a season? We’re always in conversation about the things that interest us, the plays that would be fun to do and which plays land well with our audience. What gives me enormous aid is that I now have a structure to our season. That structure has changed over time and will continue to change. But right now, we have certain genres—let’s call them “slots”—to fill. We’re generally going to have two Shakespeare plays and we want one of them to be a comedy. Right now, those Shakespeare plays will be the second and fourth productions of the season. And lately you’ve found an interesting genre that has successfully filled that first slot. The murder play. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

COURTESY IDAHO SHAKES PE ARE FESTIVAL

In that position in the past you’ve slotted Deathtrap, The Mousetrap, Dial M for Murder, And Then There Were None… And this year, we had Misery, which isn’t really a murder, but it has many of those elements. And your third slot is… A musical or something big with music in it. That’s followed by the second Shakespeare production, and then we’ve had wonderful success with our September productions, which for the past few years have also been musicals.

THE 2019 SEASON As it has for the past several years, the Idaho Shakespeare Festival is expected to open next year’s slate in late May 2019, when the lights will come up on Witness for the Prosecution. Beginning the following weekend, that drama will run in repertory with The Taming of the Shrew. In late June, The Music Man will join the repertory; and in early August, Julius Caesar will begin. In early September, ISF will clear its slate so that the musical Million Dollar Quartet fills the amphitheater with classic rockand-roll until month’s end, finishing out the season. Can we assume that you’ll be directing again next season? I’ll be directing Witness for the Prosecution, our season opener.

Idaho Shakespeare Festival Producing Artistic Director Charlie Fee: “It keeps my utterly excited and challenged. It’s compeltely thrilling, all the time. It never gets boring.” COURTESY IDAHO SHAKESPE ARE FESTIVAL

That’s another classic from Agatha Christie. Through our productions of The Mousetrap and And Then There Were None, I have learned that she’s absolutely as good a playwright as a novelist. I personally think she’s a better playwright. Quite frankly, I found some of her novels a bit tedious, whereas her dramatic sense and structural sense as a playwright is incredibly exciting. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Witness have a pretty big cast? Seventeen or 18. It’s relatively large compared to the other mysteries. I must tell you that there’s a new production of Witness for the Prosecution running in London right now, and it’s a big hit. I took a group of people to London recently and said, “We’ve got to see it.” They said, “Are you kidding?” I said, “Guys, I don’t care if you want to come or not. I can’t wait to see it.” Everyone went, and it was totally delicious. You’ve also got a pretty familiar name directing The Taming of the Shrew. The amazing Sara Bruner. Sara has spent a good chunk of her life, since she was 18, in Shakespeare plays. She has played Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew herself. She knows that world inside and out.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

What’s doubly fascinating is that Idaho audiences have had a pretty special relationship with her through the years. That’s absolutely right. I think it was a year ago when I told her, “You have to direct Shrew.” She was back and forth: “Oh God, no. Oh God, yes. Oh God, no. Oh God, okay.” Then I said, “... You should also direct Julius Caesar for us.” Sara is a deeply trusted member of this company. She always will be. I also want her to direct as much as she can. She eventually said, “Great, I’ll do them both.” Wow, Julius Caesar. It appears to be the drama for our modern times. It has been on my list of major titles for the last three years. And then, of course, Trump happens. I thought, “Hmm. I either want to do it or avoid it.” Look, an essential discussion here, as clear as day, is, “What happens if a democracy is pulled apart by a demagogue?” Shakespeare is always on the razor’s age. Let’s talk about something a bit lighter. Like a musical. We struggle and struggle for the right title. The Music Man has been on our list since we began doing large-cast musicals. But we stopped considering it because we felt like it was too big, and we couldn’t afford it. But this year, somebody in the cast asked me again, “What about The Music Man?” I said, “It’s too big.” That same person responded, “Compared to what? How many actors did you have in Pride and Prejudice?” I went to our director and choreographer and mentioned The Music Man. They said, “Done.” It’s the quintessential all-American musical. For goodness sake, there’s a barbershop quartet, lots of kids and a big brass band. Done. Done. Done. Your final show for the season will be another musical. Million Dollar Quartet. I saw the show in New York and couldn’t get enough of it. Talk about The Great American Songbook. It’s about this event that took place on one day at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee, where an impromptu jam session included Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. I know I’ve asked you this before, but are you where you want to be with the festival? If you’re not upping your game, what are you doing in life? But the fact is, I work with large groups of people that I adore. Plus, you have a bit of a love affair with your audience. It has been a revelation. It keeps me utterly excited and challenged. It’s completely thrilling, all the time. It never gets boring. BOISEWEEKLY | NOVEMBER 14–20, 2018 | 7

ARTS NEWS

ARTIST NEIGHBORS JOIN FORCES FOR THIRD-ANNUAL MOBLEY ART CRAWL On a typical suburban street, neighbors meet over picket fences to swap household gossip and argue over whose lawn is most immaculate. But on Mobley Drive in Boise, they’re more likely to be found exchanging tips on galleries, brands of paint and the merits of negative space. That’s because a big share of Mobley’s residents are artists—a realization that sparked a house-to-house art walk in 2016. This year, the annual Mobley Art Crawl will include six artists, who will open their home studios to the public Friday and Saturday, Nov. 16 and 17. “Three years ago, I was thinking of having my own Christmas open house to sell some paintings or cards or whatever for Christmas, and [oil painter] Rachel Teannalach was living on the block. I was talking to her about it and she said she was thinking of doing the same thing, so we decided to do it together,” said Jill Millward, a portrait and landscape painter living on Mobley Drive. Teannalach and Millward each knew another artist on the street, and the four joined together for the ﬁrst Mobley Art Crawl in 2016. In the years since, artists have moved in and out of the neighborhood, adding to the show while they’re there. “Basically right when the show was two years in I moved into this neighborhood, which was a blessing since there are ﬁve or six other artists within 400 or 500 feet,” said Mobley abstract artist Michael Norsk, who said his work depicts “momentary experiences.” He paints daily, and plans to have about 50 pieces on display during the Art Walk. Apart from Millward and Norsk, this year’s artists include photographers Laurie Blakeslee and Brooke Burton, landscape painter Geoffrey Krueger and glass artist Peggy Jo Wilhelm. All of the artists but Blakeslee live on Mobley; her house is on Jantoni Drive, which Millward described as “just around the corner.” Millward recommends art buffs start their walk at Krueger’s house at 431 Mobley, then zig-zag down the street to end at Blakeslee’s studio at 200 Jantoni, though visitors are free to choose their paths. All of the addresses can be found on the Mobley Art Crawl Facebook page. —Lex Nelson 8 | NOVEMBER 14–20, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

ARTS & CULTURE THE POTTERVERSE STRIKES BACK COURTESY RE-POP GIF TS

Boise Harry Potter fans of all ages gear up for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald LE X NEL SON Bring up the far-reaching impact of the Harry Potter series with a fan or someone in the book or movie business, and it’s almost inevitable that their next sentence will reference Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings or a combination of the three. What it usually won’t contain is a description of someone in drag at a local bar, playing Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore for a packed house—that is, unless the someone you’re asking is burlesque performer Mimi MaShuga, and that bar is Boise’s own Pengilly’s Saloon. “Dumbledore was actually played by a female, and she was telling the [audience], ‘Class, I told you to calm down, you’re not quite ready yet to hear about this next performer from this [Hogwarts] house,” said MaShuga. The company she co-founded, Make ‘em Blush Burlesque, performed Burlesque at Hogwarts to a rolicking crowd Nov. 11, putting on skits that involved Harry Potter characters like Sirius Black and Ginny Weasley (or as she was dubbed for the night, “Ginny Sleezy”) and plenty of audience participation. “We always include a game, and for this game we decided that we were going to include one representative from each of the houses, and they had to have a booty shake-off … It was really fantastic,” said MaShuga. In the lead-up to the release of the newest movie in the Harry Potter universe—volume two in the 1920s spinoff Fantastic Beasts series, dubbed The Crimes of Grindelwald and starring Eddie Redmayne, Johnny Depp and Jude Law—on Friday, Nov. 16, events for Potterheads have been popping up all over Boise. And as the Make ‘em Burlesque show proves, they run the gamut from the adult to the perhaps more expected kid-friendly. On Nov. 10, for example, the Meridian Public Library hosted a Fantastic Beasts party that invited kids and teens to dress in costume, go on a scavenger hunt and meet “local fantastic beasts.” Just about the only similarity between the two events, apart from the Harry Potter connection, was the costumes, which MaShuga said adults in the audience donned for the burlesque, too. She credited that enthusiasm for making the show so popular. “The whole Potterverse—the universe, if you will, of Harry Potter—is so popular and so BOISE WEEKLY.COM

loved by so many different people. Harry Potter fans are very similar to Star Wars fans in that they’re very loyal, and they’re very informed. It’s so much fun to take something that you might associate with a childlike behavior or a childlike influence, and flip it to make it a little bit more adult,” she said. Burlesque at Hogwarts wasn’t timed to coincide with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald—that was what MaShuga called “a very happy coincidence”—but local popculture shop Re-Pop Gifts will celebrate the release date with free photo opportunities in its homemade Harry Potter installation and plenty of fandom merchandise. “We will be doing the complimentary green screen photos in front of our Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, and we’ll be able to put people right next to our Hogwarts Express train in those photos,” said Re-Pop Owner Millie Hilgert. As for the age range of the merchandise, it runs from toddler t-shirts and plushies to Harry Potter-themed lamps and housewares for adults. “Harry Potter, the thing about it is that it does really appeal to all ages,” Hilgert said. “We’ve had people who grew up with the books who are now introducing it to their children, and we’ve had even people who are older than that.” Bruce DeLaney, the co-owner of Rediscovered Books and a huge Harry Potter fan him-

self, echoed that same thought, contrasting the Potter craze with boom-and-bust best sellers like the Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey series. “Once Harry Potter really started taking off around the second book, it just stayed strong,” he said. “It’s one of those story arcs, one of those book series that older siblings would tell their younger siblings, ‘You need to read this,’ parents and children would read together, and it’s been out for long enough we’re really starting to see a generational [readership].” In addition to multiple editions of the Harry Potter series (it’s been re-released with different covers over the years), Rediscovered sells copies of Rowling’s original Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them book, which came out in 2001, long before its namesake movies hit theaters. “Fantastic Beasts is one of the books the kids in the Harry Potter books get as a textbook,” DeLaney said, “... I just think the [new] movies are delightful. I love having the ability to experience something new in the Harry Potter universe, because I’m never going to read those Harry Potter books again for the first time. And that’s really the most magical time.” Though the film will be released on Friday, Nov. 16, Regal Cinemas will screen it as early as 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15 (we suspect time-turners may be involved). For the full experience, catch a screening in IMAX 3D—and don’t forget your dress robes.

BEER GUZZLER WINTER WARMERS The winter solstice is still a few weeks off, but with the unseasonably cold weather we’ve been having (temps dipping into the 20s), it is definitely time to bring out the holiday brews. Like every other category in the craft beer world, styles vary. You have malt-dominant ales, hop-driven brews and everything in between. This week’s trio covers almost all the bases, so no matter what your preference, you are sure to find at least one that pleases. DESCHUTES JUBELALE, $1.59 - $1.89 This ebony brew throws a decent mochacolored head that hangs around. The enticing aromas are something like a spicy fruit cake with just a touch of rum and creamy chocolate icing. The palate follows suit with spiced fruit along with flavors of coffee and caramel. A nice hop bite comes through, especially on the finish. This beer is a classic winter warmer. ODELL ISOLATION ALE, $1.79 - $2.09 This brew pours a burnished amber with a two-finger, tan head that collapses into a sticky, porous froth. You get fresh malt, toffee and milk chocolate aromas with a light hit of hops. The flavors are an eminently quaffable, beautifully balanced mix of creamy malt and lightly bitter hops. This is the best Isolation Ale to date. SIERRA NEVADA CELEBRATION FRESH HOP ALE, $1.59 - $1.89 The three-finger head that tops this copper brew shows remarkable persistence. First brewed in 1981, this seasonal has always been a hop celebration, and earthy, citrus-laced aromas lead off here, playing against sweet malt. It’s a bit more hopforward than the last few years, with an earthy bitterness up front. Soft malt rounds things out. —David Kirkpatrick BOISEWEEKLY | NOVEMBER 14–20, 2018 | 9

In Act II of Hamilton, the Broadway sensation about political change, there’s a song titled “The Room Where It Happens” that includes this lyric: “When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game / But you don’t get a win unless you play in the game / Oh, you get love for it / You get hate for it / You get nothing if you wait for it.” Those particular lyrics most likely resonated with Diana Lachiondo, who recently attended a performance of Hamilton at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre. Lachiondo, a Democrat, scored an upset in the recent race for Ada County Commissioner, unseating incumbent Republican Commissioner Jim Tibbs. In fact, Lachiondo was one of two Democratic women—the other being Kendra Kenyon—who succeeded in the Nov. 6 race for Ada County Commission seats. Lachiondo said, win or lose, she and her husband had planned to go to New York City soon after the election. “We’re staying with friends and splurged to get Hamilton tickets,” she said. “No matter what would have happened, we wanted to do something special.” In the wake of her electoral success and just before she hopped on a flight to New York, Lachiondo, who will leave a post as Boise Mayor David Bieter’s director of community partnerships for her new seat on the Ada County Commission, sat down with Boise Weekly to talk about her firstever campaign and her own opportunity to make a bit of history.

People might be mean or rude. The decision of taking this on was not something I did lightly.

We have to assume that when you decided to run, you needed to be sure that you could win. I never would have done this if I didn’t think I could win.

Of the many conversations we’ve had over the years, the ones that are most indelible are when you talked about your concerns for the Ada County Jail. I’ll take you back even further. Do you remember when you and I talked about how the City of Boise was applying for a Pay for Success grant? That’s how we got Vanessa Fry from Boise State to conduct an analysis that found homelessness was costing our community $53,000 per person, per year. Those are costs from the jail, paramedics, the public defender’s office and the indigent fund. I’m really disappointed in the county’s lack of leadership on these issues. You and I have talked a lot about homelessness over the years; and, quite frankly, I had a lot of sleepless nights on this issue.

That said, you’re leaving quite a bit behind you at City Hall. I loved my job. Sorry, you’re going to make me get teary-eyed. I never set out to go into politics. I just got really frustrated over how things were going at the Ada County Commission. I tried to convince other people to run. But I recognized I had to do it. It’s a really scary thing right now. You mean politically? To run in a particularly partisan climate, I knew that A: It was going to be harder, and B:

It’s the worst-kept secret in Idaho that you knocked on a lot of doors during this campaign. More than 46,000—more than any other campaign in the state. Other than door-knocking, what made the difference? It’s about the county landfill, it’s about land-use, it’s about the jail, all bread-andbutter issues. That said, deciding who should be a county commissioner is such a downballot race. Quite frankly, a lot of people don’t even know who their commissioners are or what they do. So we did a lot of education. No matter what the outcome was, I thought it was really important to show people what a county commissioner actually does. What was the bottom dollar of the cost of your campaign? About $200,000. Can I assume that you and your fellow Ada County Commissioner-elect Kendra Kenyon got together occasionally during the campaign? We did. She brings such a deep conservation background to the table. I’m really excited about that.

But what can the County Commission do about it, sooner than later? We’re still at a place where the numbers are not insurmountable. Right now, we have between 100 and 200 people experiencing chronic homelessness in Ada County. Can you speak to how many of those people end up behind bars at the county jail? Look, there some who are counted as homeless who, for whatever reason, absolutely need to be in jail. But there are too many people in jail who are there on a charge of trespassing or public intoxication and they don’t have the means to bond out. This doesn’t mean that I’m going to wave a wand and magically find a place for those 100 people to go, but I’m totally opposed to spending millions of dollars without finding a way to solve this. These people need our help. That’s why, for example, the county is going to participate more directly in supporting Allumbaugh House [treatment facility]. You can count on it. Looking at your electoral map, it’s striking to note that the county was nearly evenly split between Republicans and Democrats. I knew I wasn’t going to win Star, for example, but I was going to lose by less than previous Democratic candidates. That’s because I went out there at met people where they were at. I spent a lot of time in Kuna and Meridian, too. I truly believe the race was about competency, about leadership, and not about partisan politics. Did Commissioner Tibbs call you to concede on election night? I have not heard from Mr. Tibbs. Email? Phone call? Anything? I haven’t heard from him but I’m not going to make a big deal out of it. But at some point, you’ll need to spend some time at the county building before being sworn in, right? I’ve already set up some meetings with office staff and other elected officials. I’m also looking forward to some training from the Idaho Association of Counties. That’s at the end of this month. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

There are a hundred reasons to praise Wildlife, and about 90 of them involve an endlessly layered, always-stirring performance from Carey Mulligan. We’re rapidly approaching award season, and it’s impossible to fathom a list of Best Actress Oscar nominees that doesn’t include her. The role of Jeannette Brinson, as penned by Richard Ford in his 1990 novel, Wildlife, is complex, for sure. She flails through her days in 1960s-era Great Falls, Montana, as if she were treading water—gasping for breath while, at the same time, grasping for something (or someone) to hold on to. Not-so-coincidentally, Jeannette takes a job as a swimming instructor at a local YMCA when her husband Jerry (Jake Gyllenhaal) loses his job. As Jeannette treads water, literally and figuratively, Jerry himself is drowning sorrow and too many beers. In full-tilt survival mode, Mulligan erupts off the screen as Jeanette: clear-eyed but unsettled, compassionate but selfish, sexy but lonely, and every combination thereof. Mulligan, who burst onto the scene in 2005’s Price & Prejudice and nabbed an Oscar nomination four years later in An Education, is near perfec-

tion here. You’ll likely not see a better screen performance this year. Wildlife is the directorial debut of actor Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, 12 Years a Slave). At his film’s premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Dano told Boise Weekly

WILDLIFE (R) Directed by Paul Dano Starring Carey Mulligan, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ed Oxenbould Opens Friday, Nov. 16, at The Flicks, 646 W. Fulton St., 208-342-4288, theﬂicksboise.com.

that long before he was asked to adapt the book to the big screen, he had already read it multiple times, and he was “spooked and unsettled” by the novel. “I spent a year daydreaming about it,” Dano told BW. “One day, a final scene came to me— the final image of what would be my film. That image gave me the courage to go forward.”

Indeed, Wildlife’s final scene will undoubtedly burn an indelible image into your mind’s eye. But what comes before that climax—the tumult of a couple’s deteriorating marriage and how it takes their son as its prisoner—is achingly intimate. For instance, when Jerry leaves home to take a $1-per-hour job battling wildfires near the Montana/Canada border, Jeannette’s moral compass goes askew. “The part I love about Jeannette’s story is this woman making pretty bad choices; and yet, you somehow root for her to be alright,” Mulligan told BW following the film’s Toronto premiere. “That’s a rare thing to see on screen: a woman who can mess everything up, and you can still root for her to survive it all.” Mulligan, now a mother of two children, said she has become increasingly selective in choosing film roles that might take her away from her own family . “So, when the opportunity came along to get a role like Jeannette—a role that is so rich, so detailed, so complex, so truthful—well, now this is the new barometer for everything that I want to do going forward,” she said. We can only be so lucky.

SCREEN EXTRA BOY ERASED’S STAR POWER TAKES ON CONVERSION THERAPY In January of this year, Idaho House Rep. John McCrostie (DBoise) introduced HB-398 during the 2018 Idaho Legislative session. Dubbed the “Youth Mental Health Protection Act,” the measure would have prohibited Idaho psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors from engaging in so-called “conversion therapy” with gay juveniles. The bill never got a hearing. A disappointed McCrostie said he wasn’t

terribly surprised. A similar bill in 2017 also fell on deaf ears at the Idaho Statehouse. But 11 other U.S. states have made juvenile conversion therapy illegal, including neighboring Nevada, Oregon and Washington. It’s estimated that 700,000 U.S. adults have received conversion therapy, more than half of them during adolescence. The therapy is discredited by dozens of medical associations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics.

That should be reason enough to put Boy Erased on your mustsee list.

COMING IN JANUARY This drama, directed by Paweł Pawlikowski, competed for the Palme d’Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Director. The ﬁlm is loosely inspired by Pawlikowski’s parents’ lives. It was selected as the Polish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards.

Writer-director Barry Jenkins’ (Moonlight) new ﬁlm is an adaptation of James Baldwin’s most enduring and beloved work. A love story set in Harlem in the early 1970’s, it is the story of Tish (Kiki Layne), a 19-year-old girl, and Fonny (Stephan James), the young sculptor she’s in love with.

“A thrilling exploration of romantic disappointment with a killer soundtrack.”

“A work of social realism elevated to poetic heights by the sheer beauty of its voice and the humanism of its spirit...”

“It’s visually stunning, passionate, wistful, and thoughtful in equal measure.”

PETER DEBRUGE, Variety

BOISE HOLIDAY PARADE

BOISE GREENBIKE CRANKSGIVING

The City of Trees is home to many longstanding traditions, but the Boise Holiday Parade is one of our favorites. Just as strings of lights, fake evergreen wreaths and stuffed Santas are appearing on the shelves of stores all over town, the city throws its red and white fur hat in the ring with a parade that has circled city blocks without fail for the last 70 years. The theme this year is “Christmas in Our Town,” and the procession will include ﬂoats, live music, feats of skill and a visit from Santa, with Mayor Dave Bieter acting as Grand Marshall. The parade kicks off at the corner of 10th and Jefferson streets, then continues down Jefferson Street to Fourth Street, where it turns south for a block before making a westward lap down Bannock Street back to its starting point. Bring the whole family out to ring in the holidays. 9:45 a.m.-noon, FREE. Downtown Boise, boiseholidayparade.org.

Although Boiseans have momentarily shifted their gaze from bikes to e-scooters, an upcoming event will put cycles back in the spotlight. Boise GreenBike will welcome bikers of all ages to its Cranksgiving on Saturday, Nov. 17—a Thanksgiving-themed scavenger hunt that will help families in need. Bikers will team up in groups to ride over Boise and ﬁll Thanksgiving boxes donated by St. Vincent de Paul for families across the Treasure Valley. Cyclists are welcomed to bring their own bikes, but each team must include at least one Boise GreenBike rider, who will get $20 of credit in the GreenBike network. There is no entry free, but bikers must bring enough money to buy food for the boxes. An after-party at Clairvoyant Brewing will celebrate with food, drinks and a rafﬂe. Come out and spin your wheels! 10 a.m-5 p.m., FREE entry, $10-$15 for food. Boise GreenBike, 106 E. 34th St., 208345-7433, boise.greenbike.com.

On Stage SINGER-SONGWRITER DAN JOHNSON ADDRESSES VETERAN SUICIDE THROUGH MUSIC Some concerts offer an upbeat escape from the real world, while others force listeners to double down and take a closer look at the darker sides of their own lives. Texas-based singer-songwriter Dan Johnson’s upcoming show at The Olympic, part of an effort he’s dubbed “Operation Hemingway,” is one of the latter. Over the course of five songs and their accompanying short stories (contributed by novelist Travis Erwin) Johnson, who fronts The Salt Cedar Rebels, spins the narrative of his veteran father’s depression and eventual suicide, and its aftereffects on his son. The songs, including the title track “Hemingway,” his father’s military nickname, are equal parts roadmap and lament, with a country flavor reminiscent of Johnny Cash. They have a higher purpose than biography, though: The album raises awareness of veteran mental illness, and shines a spotlight the warning signs of suicide with the hope of saving others. To increase his reach, Johnson started the nonprofit OperationHemingway.org, which spreads the same message as his music. It’s become a hub for public education on suicide and mental illness, and also raises funds to help veterans on the road to recovery. “I don’t know if anything could have saved my dad. But I do know that even as a kid, I saw warning signs. And I wish someone would have had the courage to speak up on his behalf and do something to help,” Johnson wrote on his website. Hemingway (State Fair Records, 2018) is both an album and an audiobook, and has already caught the attention of national outlets like NPR and National Geographic. In a 2016 report, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs found that an average of 6,000 veterans commit suicide each year—making Johnson’s mission more than pressing. Head to his show on Friday, Nov. 16, at 8 p.m. to join the effort and hear his story for yourself. Lee Penn Sky of The Oliphants will open, and tickets cost $15 with proceeds benefiting Operation Hemingway. —Lex Nelson If you or someone you know is in crisis or needs support, please reach out for help by calling or texting the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline at 208-398-4357.

Collin Williams will perform at Liquid Laughs on Tuesday, Nov. 20.

COMEDIAN COLLIN WILLIAMS TO VISIT BOISE ON MY SUICIDE NOTE TOUR After one of his recent stand-up shows, two audience members approached Collin Williams to tell him their stories. One had a son who was suicidal and being bullied at school; the other had been molested and wrestled with thoughts of suicide. “These are usually very deep things you don’t usually tell a stranger,” Williams said. They’re unusual, unless the show in question is My Suicide Note. Suicide is at best an unorthodox subject for a comedy routine. At worst, it’s downright dangerous. Williams’ act, which rolls through Boise at Liquid Laughs on Tuesday, Nov. 20, starts with the comedian admitting that he has considered killing himself. The rest of the routine is a laugh-out-loud journey away from what he calls “suicide brain” and toward a successful career in comedy. For much of Williams’ comedy career, he actively contemplated suicide. My Suicide Note was born when, instead of killing himself, Williams checked himself into a psychiatric ward, where he wrote a 12-page suicide note baring his innermost feelings. It gave him the basis for his later routine, but the road hasn’t been easy. “My first joke is that my first venue committed suicide,” he said. “Advertising and posters went up everywhere, and the promoter calls me up and says, ‘We’re shutting it down. The club lost its lease.’” Williams instead previewed his new set in Europe, where he “refined what the show should have been.” Comedy is Williams’ platform for telling his own story, aiding him in his struggle against suicidal thinking. His personal story has progressed along with his routine. “The one thing that has changed the most has been hope,” Williams said. “I have an incredibly wonderful girlfriend who I started dating about four months before the major premiere in Salt Lake City. It allowed me to introduce a little hope and do a little rewrite twist at the end.” —Harrison Berry If you or someone you know is in crisis or needs support, please reach out for help by calling or texting the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline at 208-398-4357.

COURTESY AWOLNATION

ALBUM REVIEW: HERE COME THE RUNTS, AWOLNATION If the only thing that comes to mind when you hear the name AWOLNATION is the song “Sail,” (bonus points if the cat Vine pops into your head), be prepared to shuck the notion that this is a one-trick band. The band’s third studio album, Here Come the Runts (Redbull, 2018) is less synthetic, less auto-tuned, but by no means less than truly great. From the start, the title track sounds like classic AWOLNATION, with frontman Aaron Bruno bellowing “Last stop for magic” full-force, accompanied by a buzzing guitar that sticks around for most tracks. From there, the album ricochets between restrained ballads and raucous rock anthems. The second track, “Passion,” was written after a journalist criticized the band for not having any on their last album. Just two tracks in, it’s clear that Bruno is not lacking in that area anymore. Elements of Guns N’ Roses, road-trip classic rock and mellow ﬁreside singalongs combine for a unique listening experience. “Handyman” and “Seven Sticks of Dynamite” are the two standout ballads on the album. Both feature acoustic verses and raw, gripping lyrics, something new for AWOLNATION. It’s a refreshing reminder that a rock album doesn’t have to be full steam ahead all the way through. Make your own judgement when the band plays Taco Bell Arena Saturday, Nov. 17, in advance of Twenty One Pilots. —Micah Drew With headlining act Twenty One Pilots, and Max Frost. 7 p.m., $38-$235.

Here’s the scene: Five kids from suburban Washington, D.C., high on Hot Pockets and Saturday morning cartoons, ride their skateboards over to a friend’s house after hearing the latest from Green Day, intent on starting their own garage band. Five years later, they hit the jackpot, cutting a self-titled album, Good Charlotte (Epic Records/Daylight Records, 2000). The critical reception is, frankly, dismal; but a second album on the same labels, The Young and the Hopeless (2002), goes triple platinum. Now, Good Charlotte is on tour promoting its latest album, Generation Rx (BMG Rights Management, 2018), and will perform at Revolution Concert House in Garden City. Whether Good Charlotte’s lyrics are stitched-together cliches (they are) is beside the point. The band is going to put on one hell of a show—so jump to the music like it’s 2003. —Harrison Berry

URAL THOMAS & THE PAIN, NOV. 20, NEUROLUX Listening to Ural Thomas & The Pain, the image from Jurassic Park of a mosquito encased in amber comes to mind. For years, the soul performer hit the stage with legends like Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding and James Brown, and released a few singles of his own in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. He left the business, returning to his hometown of Portland, Oregon, and reemerged almost 40 years later, when he signed with Tender Loving Empire. With a new band, The Pain, Thomas hit the studio again, cutting an LP, The Right Time, in 2018. While the big-name performers Thomas used to play with have evolved since their haydays, Thomas’ soul tracks are suffused with the DNA of a golden age of popular music, and he’s bringing that sound to Neurolux on Tuesday, Nov. 20.

WAXING FEMININE

ROOMMATES Need a roommate? Roommates. com will help you ﬁnd your Perfect Match™ today!

DEAR MINERVA, My boyfriend is exploring ng his feminine side in the bedroom with me. I don’t mind if he wants to wear makeup and use butt plugs. But now he’s talking about waxing his eyebrows and legs: a more permanent exploration. This makes me uneasy. How can I become more receptive to his kinks? —Sincerely, Girl Talk

DEAR GIRL TALK, Exploration is healthy and it’s cool that you’re open to his wanting to try on some new things. The grooming of body hair can be a touchy subject. Historically, it was difﬁcult to get a man to even consider plucking a single follicle until there was the metrosexual phenomenon. While it makes you uneasy, it’s his right to do with his body hair as he sees ﬁt. It seems that you interpret this as a more permanent exploration. I don’t know if that is the case or not. I don’t consider waxing permanent. In most cases hair grows back. Eyebrows can be tricky if not groomed correctly. If he just wants to see what a different eyebrow shape looks like on him, look up eyebrow cover techniques on YouTube and try that. If you think that this desire to explore is overtaking your normal lovemaking routine, then you should talk about it. Compatibility is important in a relationship, especially in the bedroom. His exploration, while normal, shouldn’t come at the expense of your own needs. If this is something that doesn’t work for you, then maybe you make better friends.

FIND THANKSGIVING APPS

I T U N ES . A PPL E.C O M

Feeling grateful for the opportunity to care for our feline patients and their families!

Once upon a time, when you said “apps” around Thanksgiving, there was no doubt you were talking about appetizers. But while we love having something to nibble on for Turkey Day, we’re also salivating about these great Thanksgiving-themed apps for the smartphone. Our favorite is A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving ($5.99), an adorable, interactive retelling of the Charles Schultz holiday classic. Our next must-have is the Macy’s Parade Time Traveler (free), a celebration of everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving Day morning tradition. It allows you to take a selﬁe, then drops you right inside the big parade. BigOven (free) boasts a massive collection of 350,000 recipes, and includes a menu planner. Hello Vino (free) is your new holiday wine-pairing assistant. Lastly, ESPN (free) is the ultimate go-to sports app to keep you up-to-date on Thanksgiving Day football games. —George Prentice All available at the App Store and Google Play for iPhones and Androids.

ASTROLOGY SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The U.S. is the world’s top exporter of food. In second place is the Netherlands, which has 0.4 percent as much land as the U.S. How do Dutch farmers accomplish this miraculous feat? In part because of their massive greenhouses, which occupy vast areas of non-urbanized space. Another key factor is their unprecedented productivity, which dovetails with a commitment to maximum sustainability. For instance, they produce 20 tons of potatoes per acre, compared with the global average of nine. And they do it using less water and pesticides. In my long-term outlook for you Scorpios, I see you as having a metaphorical similarity to Dutch farmers. During the next 12 months, you have the potential to make huge impacts with your focused and efficient efforts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The world is like a dropped pie most of the time,” writes author Elizabeth Gilbert. “Don’t kill yourself trying to put it back together. Just grab a fork and eat some of it off the floor. Then carry on.” From what I can tell about the state of your life, Sagittarius, the metaphorical pie has indeed fallen onto the metaphorical floor. But it hasn’t been there so long that it has spoiled. And the floor is fairly clean, so the pie won’t make you sick if you eat it. My advice is to sit down on the floor and eat as much as you want. Then carry on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Novelist Anita Desai writes, “Isn’t it strange how life won’t flow, like a river, but moves in jumps, as if it were held back by locks that are opened now and then to let it jump forward in a kind of flood?” I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect that the locks she refers to will soon open for you. Events may not exactly flow like a flood, but I’m guessing they will at least surge and billow and gush. That could turn out to be nerve-racking and strenuous, or else fun and interesting. Which way it goes will depend on your receptivity to transformation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Miracles come to those who risk defeat in seeking them,” writes author Mark Helprin. “They come to those who have exhausted themselves completely in a struggle to accomplish the impossible.” Those descriptions could fit you well in the coming weeks, but with one caveat. You’ll have no need to take on the melodramatic, almost desperate mood Helprin seems to imply is essential. Just the opposite, in fact. Yes, risk defeat and be willing to exhaust yourself in the struggle to accomplish the impossible; but do so in a spirit of exuberance, motivated by the urge to play. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear,” warned author G. K. Chesterton. “It annoys them very much.” My teachers have offered me related advice. Don’t ask the gods to intervene, they say, until you have done all you can through your own efforts. Furthermore, don’t ask the gods for help unless you are prepared to accept their help if it’s different from what you thought it should be. I bring these considerations to your attention, Pisces, because you currently meet all these requirements. So I say go right ahead and seek the gods’ input and assistance. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Interior designer Dorothy Draper said she wished there were a single word that meant “exciting, frightfully important, irreplaceable, deeply satisfying, basic, and thrilling, all at once.” I wonder if such a word exists in the Chamicuro language spoken by a few Peruvians or the Sarsi tongue spoken by the Tsuu T’ina tribe in Alberta, Canada. In any case, I’m pleased to report that for the next few weeks, many of you Aries people will embody and express that rich blend of qualities. I have coined a new word to capture it: tremblissimo. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to my astrological intuition, you’re entering a phase when you will derive special benefit from

these five observations by poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. 1. “There are truths that you can only say after having won the right to say them.” 2. “True realism consists in revealing the surprising things that habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.” 3. “What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.” 4. “You should always talk well about yourself! The word spreads around, and in the end, no one remembers where it started.” 5. “We shelter an angel within us. We must be the guardians of that angel.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Adolescence used to be defined as a phase that lasted from ages 13 to 19. But scientists writing in the journal The Lancet say that in modern culture, the current span is from ages 10 to 24. Puberty comes earlier now, in part because of shifts in eating habits and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. At the same time, people hold onto their youth longer because they wait a while before diving into events associated with the initiation into adulthood, like getting married, finishing education and having children. Even if you’re well past 24, Gemini, I suggest you revisit and reignite your juvenile stage in the coming weeks. You need to reconnect with your wild innocence. You’ll benefit from immersing yourself in memories of coming of age. Be 17 or 18 again, but this time armed with all you have learned since. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian baseball pitcher Satchel Paige had a colorful career characterized by creative showmanship. On some occasions, he commanded his infielders to sit down and loll on the grass behind him, whereupon he struck out three batters in a row—ensuring no balls were hit to the spots vacated by his teammates. Paige’s success came in part because of his wide variety of tricky pitches, described by author Buck O’Neil as “the bat-dodger, the two-hump blooper, the four-day creeper, the dipsy-do, the Little Tom, the Long Tom, the bee ball, the wobbly ball, the hurry-up ball and the nothin’ ball.” I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, because now is an excellent time for you to amp up your charisma and use all your tricky pitches.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head,” writes fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss. “Always. All the time. We build ourselves out of that story.” So what’s your story, Leo? The imminent future will be an excellent time to get clear about the dramatic narrative you weave. Be especially alert for demoralizing elements in your tale that may not in fact be true, and that therefore you should purge. I think you’ll be able to draw on extra willpower and creative flair if you make an effort to reframe the story you tell yourself so that it’s more accurate and uplifting. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In describing a man she fell in love with, author Elizabeth Gilbert wrote that he was both “catnip and kryptonite to me.” If you’ve spent time around cats, you understand that catnip can be irresistible to them. As for kryptonite: it’s the one substance that weakens the fictional superhero Superman. Is there anything in your life that resembles Gilbert’s paramour? A place or situation or activity or person that’s both catnip and kryptonite? I suspect you now have more ability than usual to neutralize its obsessive and debilitating effects on you. That could empower you to make a good decision about the relationship you’ll have with it in the future. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I had to learn very early not to limit myself due to others’ limited imaginations,” testifies Libran astronaut Mae Jemison. She adds, “I have learned these days never to limit anyone else due to my own limited imagination.” Are those projects on your radar, Libra? I hope so. You now have extra power to resist being shrunk or hobbled by others’ images of you. You also have extra power to help your friends and loved ones grow and thrive as you expand your images of them.
