works Shakespeare in the Parks closes season with parody show

‘Complete Works’ pays tribute to MSIP audiences

BY RACHEL HERGETT FOR THE CHRONICLE

Unlike theaters of today, where cellphones are quieted and voices hushed, the audience at London’s Globe Theatre in the age of William Shakespeare was known for creating, well, a ruckus. Heckling was common, as was throwing food if the performance or character was particularly distasteful. The theater was loud, rowdy, dirty.

Dirt is not on the program, but there is quite a bit of simulated vomiting in “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised],” a parody of (and homage) to the Bard that closes Montana Shakespeare in the Parks’ 50th anniversary season with a two-weekend run at home in Bozeman, with performances at the Black Box Theater on the Montana State University campus Dec. 1-4 and 8-11. In the “Complete Works,” a trio of actors attempts to act their way through all of Shakespeare’s 37 plays in only 90 minutes. Shakespeare’s plays are reimagined as a cooking show, a football game and a country song, as the actors race through comedies, tragedies and histories.

“This captures so much of what our audiences have experienced over the last 50 years,” said Kevin Asselin, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks executive artistic director.

Audience interaction is encouraged, and sometimes demanded from the actors on stage — MSIP tour veterans Calvin Adams, Charlotte Mae Ellison and Riley O’Toole.

“It’s such a perfect show to honor the spirit of what this company does and how it engages with its audiences in very real ways,” said O’Toole, who has done eight tours with MSIP.

If someone on the show wanted to blow you away, what would they do?

I’m always impressed when teams build for not just strength but also for design and for aesthetic. But when they can build a build that’s really strong. Anytime we have a challenge that requires them to build out from a wall and they only have a couple of studs connection, I find that to be super-impressive. We’ve had it a few times where the teams only have six or eight or 10 studs that can connect something to a wall and then they have to build for strength, I always find that crazy impressive.

You know, our first season we had a great challenge where one of the teams had to build these bridges. It was amazing to see how strong they could build them. And this year, you know, we have two challenges that are pretty cool, one that involves the use of water that was pretty wild to see because it’s

not something you see a lot with LEGO. And watching the teams figure that out –really cool.

As someone with a background in improv comedy, does hosting this show help keep those muscles limber?

Well, yeah. I mean, we’re lucky that we always have a great idea of where we want to go and certain things that we have to do when it comes to the challenges and the tenor, but so much of it is unscripted. And so I’m kind of forced to really just be on my feet talking to these people, these builders and the brickmasters for that matter, because this is a reality competition show so stuff is just happening in real time. And so things are always just kind of happening and we adjust and we talk and people are upset or they’re laughing or they’re having a great time. And so it is a form of improv kind of all day every day that I’m on set.

‘America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation’ – Competition series brings home cooks to the next level

For those looking to raise their culinary game, “America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation” should be required viewing.

Premiering Friday, Dec. 9, on Amazon Freevee, the 10-episode competition series tasks 11 home cooks with creating and presenting their dishes throughout a series of culinary challenges designed to test their kitchen skills as well as their ability to present and explain what they made.

The winner of each episode, as determined by a rotating judging panel of ATK regulars Dan Souza, Julia Collin Davison, Elle Simone Scott and Jack Bishop, wins the opportunity of a lifetime–to join the ATK team, write their own cookbook and get a $100,000 prize to fund a culinary business. Or as one contestant put it, you’re winning a career. Jeannie Mai Jenkins (“The Real”) is the host.

There’s lots of good foodie info here, especially pertaining to cooking techniques, and viewers of all skill levels will certainly pick up something. But what sets

this show apart is the presentation skills, which Souza says is critical to being a member of the ATK team.

“At the end of the day, it’s whether someone can connect with an audience ...,” he explains. “One of the things we’re always looking for is confidence in presenting it. You know, even if the dish wasn’t perfect, we wanted to see that you were confident and you could describe it. Obviously, we’re looking at presentation right off the bat.”

And, of course, the dish has to present as enticing because as the old adage goes, you eat with your eyes first.

You must remember this: ‘Casablanca’ returns

The miracle of “Casablanca” is that it was completed at all, given its famously torturous history that has made for fascinating articles and books. The final product – which Turner Classic Movies shows Tuesday, Dec. 6, as part of a tribute to composer Max Steiner – looks like a wellplanned work rather than something that literally was made up as the filming went along .

The 1942 Oscar winner concerns the dangerously renewed romance of nightclub owner Rick (Humphrey Bogart) and his ex-love Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman); she wants his help in securing passage out of wartime Casablanca for herself and her resistance-leader husband Victor (Paul Henreid). Peter Lorre, Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet and (as piano-playing Sam) Dooley Wilson also appear.

Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in “Casablanca”

“When we’re in the schools, performing in the gym, we’re going into the bleachers and messing with the kids and waking them up at 8:30 in the morning. In the summer, it’s going into the audience, into the people having their picnics, and drinking their wine. This show and how engaging it is is kind of the perfect way to celebrate this company.”

The eight Bozeman shows will close a 29-town tour that was intended to thank the small communities around Montana and the surrounding states that have supported Montana Shakespeare in the Parks for half a century. It was rescheduled from January 2022 because of COVID-19.

“The 61 communities across five different states, the 130 schools — they are the ones who the company belongs to,” Asselin said. “They, individually, have made it possible for us to be around through different generations.”

Mikey Gray, who helped manage the tour from the road and understudied all the roles, said audiences from 33 to 300 people found something to love in the show. Some appreciated that there was art finding its way to their towns in the midst of a snowy fall, others welcomed the humor.

“There were so many people on the road who were like ‘Thank you, I just really needed to laugh,’” Gray said. “...People were like, ‘Oh my god, this was the irreverence that Shakespeare had intended his work to be.’ The best reviews have come from the communities.”

“The Complete Works,” was not, however, easy to bring to life. Comedic pieces, Asselin said, may seem to be all fun and laughter for the company, but it takes a variety of skills to get right.

“Comedy, for an actor, for a director, can be incredibly intimidating and difficult,” Asselin said. “Some of the best actors we know are remarkable comedians because of their precision, their timing, their discipline, their

availability, their vulnerability. It’s so much easier to dive into a very dramatic or tragic-oriented role than it is to work out the precision and discipline of comedy. Hands down.”

In “The Complete Works,” actors are playing a version of themselves as actors and are encouraged to bring their own personalities to the comedy. This can bring additional depth, and challenges, according to Asselin.

“To allow themselves to be just themselves within the structure of

the play is hard to do, because we’re always as actors taught to perform,” he said.

Asselin appreciated the adaptability of the script from Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield. Script rewrites are encouraged, he said, and the playwrights approved Montanacentric moments, like talk of bison, tourists and Californians that may appeal to regional audiences.

“The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised],”

is itself a revision of a revision of the original script written in 1981. The latest version includes mention of vaccines and chip implants in the introduction.

“The play has been so popular for so long that moments and parts of the original script have been a little bit phased out by shifts in society,” Asselin said.

“The Complete Works” is necessarily fast-paced and often akin to sketch comedy, with the actors sometimes cracking

themselves up bringing their multitude of characters to life. While discussing the show, Asselin cited a classic Saturday Night Live skit featuring Will Ferrell sitting in on a recording session for “Don’t Fear the Reaper” while Christopher Walken barks that the track needs “more cowbell.” It is made more amusing by the inability of Jimmy Fallon and Chris Kattan (playing members of band Blue Oyster Cult) to keep a straight face.

“There’s nothing very polished about the show,” Asselin said, “and because of the lack of polish, the audience is going to find themselves right at home.”

Tagovailoa having breakout year in Miami breakout year in Miami

Could 2022 be the year Tua Tagovailoa finally realizes his huge potential? If the season’s first half is any indication, the Miami Dolphins’ faithful are going to be very happy.

Indeed, in their third year signal caller, the Dolphins appear to have the franchise quarterback they thought they were getting when they drafted him fifth overall out of Alabama in 2020, only to watch him struggle his first two years.

Much of that was blamed on his relationship with then-coach Brian Flores. It’s no secret the two weren’t the best of friends, Flores’ tough love approach not working with his young QB. It also didn’t help that Flores would pull Tagovailoa from close games in favor of veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick. But that changed when the Fish replaced Flores with Mike McDaniel. The former 49ers offensive coordinator appeared to speak Tagovailoa’s language and he assured his new field general that the starting job was his no matter what.

So far, Tagovailoa has responded to the coach’s confidence in him. In the five games he’s played, four of which were wins, he completed 130 of 186 passes (69.9 completion percentage) for 1,678 yards with 12 touchdowns, three interceptions and a 112.7 passer rating. Of course, it helps that he’s throwing to a pair of studs at wide receiver in Jaylen Waddle and newly acquired Tyreek Hill. But the point here is that the Dolphins are relevant again and Tagovailoa, who appears to be over a concussion he suffered early in the season, is a big reason why.

Tagovailoa can be seen in action Sunday, Dec. 4, when the Dolphins pay a visit to the San Francisco 49ers in a regional game airing on Fox. FULL NAME: Tuanigamanuolepola Tagovailoa
