FROM THE EDITOR Perhaps its just because February is the shortest month of the year, but it sure seems like there’s an awful lot going on in Cache Valley’s arts and entertainment scene this month.

After a relatively quiet period following the holidays, things have definitely heated back up on our local stages and galleries, as you’ll see in the following pages.

And because of that I had to ... well ... I hate to say, cram ... so, how about, present

in a condensed manner, as many of the upcoming events as possible.

Despite that effort, I’m sure I left a few items out — some that I’m aware of, as well as others than I accidently forgot.

In an effort to include as many events as I can, here are few more to keep in mind: • A Valentine’s dinner and concert with Brenn Hill will be held on Friday, Feb. 13, and Saturday, Feb. 14, at American West Heritage Center in Wellsville. Dinner will begin at 7 p.m.; the show will start at 8 p.m. The dinner package is $75 per couple, while concert tickets only are $35 per couple. Call 245-6050 or visit awhc. org for tickets and more information.

• The “Evening in Brazil” band is

returning to the Caine Performance Hall at USU at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27. This will be the band’s seventh annual show, providing some Brazilian jazz entertainment to warm up the winter season. Tickets are $17, and student and youth tickets are $10. Tickets are available at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, FAC 139-B, by calling 797-8022, online at arts.usu.edu or at the door prior to the performance.

• Willow Valley Middle School will present “The Sound of Music” at 7 p.m.

Feb. 26 to 28, at the South Cache 8/9 Center in Hyrum.

The Logan Tabernacle Concert and Lecture Series will present “Music of the Heart,” a free Valentine’s concert featuring romantic songs from Broadway to big bands to opera, at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13, at the Logan Tabernacle in downtown Logan.

“Music of the Heart” will be performed by Mike Bailey, Natalie Burningham, Susan Haderlie, Betty Hammond and Elli Price, and accompanied by Merrilee Broadbent.

New Thorpe art exhibit opens at USU Artwork by an iconic artist and former Utah State University professor can be seen for a limited time in exhibit at Utah State University.

Utah State’s Department of Art and Design presents “Relational Expressions: The Art of Everett C. Thorpe” Feb. 6 to 28 at the Tippetts Exhibit Hall in the Chase Fine Arts Center on the USU campus. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The exhibit is free and open to the public.

An opening reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, and all are welcome.

Thorpe was a prolific painter with an adaptive style. The selection of works and ephemera is commemorative of his life and highlights the personal and community connections deeply intertwined with Thorpe’s career as both an artist and a professor.

The artist was born in Providence in 1904 and experimented with drawing and painting in childhood and early

adolescence until he was able to move to California to take art classes. Thorpe returned to Cache Valley to attend USU and went on to receive his master of fine arts from the University of Utah, with additional study completed at Syracuse University and the Hans Hoffman School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

His lengthy career as a professor of art began in 1934 at USU, where he continued on until his retirement in 1972.

The greatest challenge “The Best of Broadway” had in creating a show based on the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber was selecting which songs to perform out of a wealth of music. The group decided to combine some of the most famous and beloved songs with lesser known gems.

The annual Chocolate Festival will be held Saturday, Feb. 7.

‘Once Upon a Mattress’ Logan seeks poet laureate Sky High Players present musical beginning Feb. 9 The Sky High Players are piling the mattresses high for their production of the popular and beloved musical “Once Upon a Mattress” by Mary Rodgers.

The original production in 1959 launched the career of actress and comedienne Carol Burnett with her comic antics receiving rave reviews. The Sky High Players’ production features an 8-foothigh bed, a two-story castle and a bunch of extremely talented performers.

The “Once Upon a Mattress” will be presented at 7 p.m. Feb. 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14, in the Sky View High School Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased online at skyhighplayers.org. There are discounts for large groups and families.

The production is a retelling of the famous “Princess and the Pea” story, but with many interesting twists. From the rough-aroundthe-edges princess swimming the moat when she arrives, to the Nightingale of Samarkand singing and squawking her to sleep, the play portrays a tyrant queen mother who refuses to let her son, Dauntless the Drab, get married. Unfortunately, no one else in the kingdom can get married until Dauntless does, so there

SpongeBob’s back, ventures up to our world

By Joceyln Noveck AP National Writer

Would that all of our brains resembled that of SpongeBob SquarePants — and we’re talking about his actual brain, like, the cerebral matter located somewhere inside that porous yellow body.

When, in the thoroughly enjoyable (though somewhat exhausting) “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” the tiny, scheming Plankton takes a surreptitious trip into one of those sponge-holes, he finds a brain coated with cotton candy, rainbows and all manner of sweets, like a scene from “The Nutcracker.”

It’s enough to make a cynical little organism sick, but it makes us love sweet SpongeBob even more.

As does director Paul Tibbitt’s new movie, which is zany and clever and fun (and in 3D), as long as you can take 93 minutes of it. That may depend on your age. As I exited the theater I heard a father telling his young son wearily, “That’s about all the SpongeBob I can take.” The son, it seemed, could have taken a few hours more.

The movie — the second feature-length outing for the durable Nickelodeon TV character, and the first since 2004 —begins somewhere above the undersea hamlet of Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob lives.

We meet a nefarious pirate character named Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas, in live action and game for anything), tracking down a pre-

for Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown), who keeps the secret recipe stowed away in a vault.

Back down in Bikini Bottom, rival restaurant owner Plankton is trying to steal the formula, as usual. He fails, but the formula actually disappears. The two rivals join forces to find it, and this AP Photo/Paramount Picture SpongeBob Squarepants, center, stars in a scene from quest drives the movie, with many a wacky tan“The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.” gent awaiting — including time travel and even cious ancient book via his Davy Jones. “This is way overdue,” the pirate space travel, up to a weird treasure map. platform somewhere in The book tells the story says.)

“You’ve never been stung by a bee, have you?” he asks. Jupiter responds by shaking her head. Well, there you have it. Jupiter is actually a reincarnated heiress. Part of a vast intergalactic fortune belonging to the entitled brattish Abrasax family.

politics woven throughout the story. No I’m not talking about hidden partisan agendas. I’m talking about this entire empire of commerce which the Wachowskis have created.

Commerce, politics, kingdoms and heirs. It’s intriguing because of its expansiveness and imagination. It’s exasperating in its inherent confusion, and mind-numbing exposition about who is who and what interstellar laws matter.

The goofiness, however, threatens to overshadow the movie’s more complex storytelling. Charactercentered scenes, like the burgeoning love between Jupiter and Wise is laughably silly. The fact that all aliens are bestowed British accents is hysterical.

The moment where the movie intentionally, or unintentionally — I honestly couldn’t tell — turns into “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” is awfully bizarre no matter the intent.

Eddie Redmayne’s performance, as petulant, whisper-obsessed galactic CEO overlord takes the cake, though.

His watery reddened eyes and his oh-so-serious murmur-voice are grating to say the least.

But I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t have some fun with “Jupiter Ascending.”

The sheer audacity of its visual style is commendable. Sure, it’s mostly computer-generated, but at least it’s unique enough to make you pay attention.

The action scenes are convoluted but exhilarating. Nevertheless, the characters are never able to ground the audience.

At times they seem to exist for the sole purpose of populating insanely conceived space-odyssey action set pieces. After a while it becomes tiring, no matter how estimable the universe-building might be.

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, February 6, 2015

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

Andy and Lana Wachowski’s new space opera “Jupiter Ascending” is marvelously ambitious and interminably goofy. A lot of parallels can be drawn 3 between it and “The Fifth Element.”

There’s a certain admirable aspect to creating an entire universe from scratch instead of drawing it from established source material. And believe me, the unique sci-fi universe of “Jupiter Ascending” is grandiose in scope. Its boldness often facilitates the aforementioned goofiness. Its allergy to selfawareness means that we get to watch half-dog alien Caine Wise (Channing Tatum) expertly skate around in mid-air on what are essentially anti-gravity roller blades.

There are many more eye-rolling examples, but perhaps we should laud “Jupiter Ascending” for being brave. Though, it’d be easier to do so if the character-centric moments weren’t so stilted and glossed over.

Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) lives the life of a poor immigrant. After the brutal murder of her father, her family moved to America in search of a better life. That better life, unfortunately, consists of Jupiter scrubbing toilets day in and day out for chump change. After a well-meaning but unintentionally ridiculous cleaning montage, we get the point: Jupiter Jones is the furthest thing from royalty on the planet Earth.

The Wachowskis really lay it on thick here.

With “Jupiter Ascending” being a space-age Cinderella tale, Jupiter quickly learns that she’s actually intergalactic

WAITING ON SUMMER River Heights painter H. Shane Ross selected as Summerfest’s featured artist Whether it’s a spring morning in Petersboro, bare trees in the desolation of winter in Mendon or an orange sunset against a home in Young Ward, it seems like there’s no Cache Valley scene that H. Shane Ross hasn’t painted.

The Utah State University graduate and River Heights resident has presented his work at galleries in Salt Lake City, Jackson Hole and Bend,

He paints what is around Summerfest officials recently him, so people will recognize many announced Ross as this year’s choice Cache Valley locations in his work.” in a news release.

When asked about the approach he “It’s always hard to select only one takes to his work, Ross said his aim is artist,” said Elaine Thatcher, executive to “create art which builds and edifies director of Summerfest. “But ultimate- others and expresses my better self.” ly, Shane’s work stood out to us for its “Because man is a dual being, we

have our two people, it seems like,” Ross added with a laugh. “My focus is to build and edify others and express my better self, and I feel there’s no better vehicle to do that than through the landscape.”

Ross said his landscape work is based on what many new, contemporary artists are embracing nowadays, called new American landscape movement.

STORY BY KEVIN OPSAHL PORTRAIT BY ELI LUCERO Clockwise from left: H. Shane Ross paints in his studio in River Heights on Tuesday.

Ross loves painting Cache Valley landscapes, including “Farm near Newton,” “Cache Cottonwood” and “View from Petersboro.”

“There are a lot of landscape painters that follow the principles of landscape that have been taught in the past, and everyone follows that set of rules — it’s almost like you could make a formula of it; they’ve named the compositions,” Ross explained. “It helps when you’re learning, but I think with new American landscape, it’s more about trying to use your skills while holding to those principles, but you’re building on that and doing something different.”

Ross said he hopes attendees of Summerfest catch onto the concept.

“It seems like as artist you’re progressive and people don’t get it until you’re 30 or 40 years in the grave,” Ross said. “I hope people look at my art and understand the difference.”

A native of Vernal, Ross was introduced to art when his parents gave him a sketchbook when he was in the sixth grade, and he grew up drawing and painting horses and barns.

In high school, he benefited from the teachings of USU art professor Jon Anderson, who traveled from Logan to the USU branch campus on a

monthly basis.

After high school, Ross knew he wanted to go on a LDS mission, so he earned money by painting rodeo scenes in Vernal’s town square. Newly married in 1996, Ross moved to Logan, where he majored in art at USU. He traveled abroad to Switzerland and taught drawing before graduating in 2004.

Ross’s work quickly gained recognition. In 2005, he won second place in the Deseret News landscape show.

Today, he paints and makes art frames as his primary employment, and his approach to painting is more about “simplifying and abstracting” — or “more what I feel” — than painting what he actually sees.

“You can capture the spirit of the landscape by simplification of shapes,” Ross said.

Ross said he feels a spiritual connection when painting landscape scenes.

“It’s the God in nature concept; you see it in all art forms,” Ross said.

“There’s a spirit in the landscape that I feel is closely tied to God and my

religious beliefs. I think that’s why people go to nature.”

He hopes people feel uplifted when they visit his Summerfest booth this June.

“When people go to nature, they go there to relax, to connect to their

more spiritual self,” Ross said. “I hope they’re able to capture some of that reverence that I have for nature and take that home with them. People like the feeling, they like what they see. They’re picking up what I’m putting down on the brush.”

‘Vagina Monologues’ coming to USU Benefit reading to be held Feb. 12-14 at Taggart Student Center Utah State University’s Access and Diversity Center coordinates activities for “V-Day USU” in conjunction with the “One Billion Rising for Justice” campaign. The USU activities include a benefit reading of “The Vagina Monologues” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 12 to 14, in the Taggart Student Center Auditorium.

The readings are a benefit performance with proceeds going to CAPSA. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door or in advance at USU’s Access and Diversity Center’s office, TSC 315.

The USU performance and V-Day campaign are part of “One Billion Rising for Justice.”

According to the national organization, the campaign is “a global call for women survivors of violence, and those who love them, to gather safely in places where

they are entitled to justice — courthouses, police stations, government offices, school administration buildings, work places, sites of environmental injustice, military courts, embassies, places of worship, homes or simply public gathering places where women deserve to feel safe but too often do not — and release their stories through art, dance, marches, ritual, song, spoken word, sit ins and testimonies.”

USU organizers of V-Day USU invite the campus and local communities to “join us as we rise, release and dance to demand justice for women and girl survivors of violence.”

“The Vagina Monologues,” a play by Eve Ensler, was first performed in 1996. It has been hailed by The New York Times

as “funny” and “poignant” and by the Daily News as “intelligent” and “courageous.” It was first performed off-Broadway with Ensler and “dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women’s experiences.”

Last year more than 5,800 V-Day benefits were held around the world, raising funds and awareness toward ending violence against women. The events raised more than $5 million through performances of “The Vagina Monologues” or readings from V-Day’s “A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer” and “Any One of Us: Words from Prison,” in addition to screenings of V-Day’s documentary “Until the Violence Stops” and the PBS documentary “What I Want My Words to Do to You.”

David Duchovny, the actor known for playing Fox Mulder on the television series “The X-Files” and Hank Moody on the show “Californication,” shows his comic side with “Holy Cow,” a tale of Elsie the cow.

Elsie enjoys life on the farm, and her day consists of being milked, eating and gossiping with the other cows out in the field.

One day she and a fellow bovine realize they have developed an interest in

the bulls, and they hatch an idea to visit the bulls when the farmer leaves the gate open after a milking.

That evening the two of them head over to the bulls. Elsie’s curiosity takes her toward the farmhouse, and there she witnesses on the Box God images of what happens to cows that involves people eating them. Traumatized, she starts to dream about how to avoid a similar fate. When she learns that cows are revered

in India, she begins to concoct a plan to travel there. Elsie, a turkey named Tom and a pig named Jerry who goes by the name Shalom plot an escape.

Elsie’s first-person narrative has more asides and non sequiturs than expected, and that adds to the fun. Who knew a cow’s view of the world was so funny yet so honest and true? “Holy Cow” is silly and fun from the opening page, but it would be even more amusing if read aloud.

“Tuscan Poppies” by Jeannie Millecam

“When I was young, I wanted to be an artist, an actress, a singer, a dancer and marry Donny Osmond. ... I am fortunate to be living one of my childhood dreams.

When I told my grandfather that I was majoring in art, he lit up and said, ‘When you create, that is like being a God.’ That’s always stuck with me.”

Millecam’s students at Sky View have also been the recipients of multiple

awards and scholarships each year.

“I believe in giving students a good foundation,” she says. “At Sky View, we focus on mastery. Students work on basic skills until they pass them off, then they move to more advanced work. Mastery is the key to a succcesful education.

It gives students the confidence and skill required to move on to more complex problem solving.”

The Ballroom Company’s production, “Capture the Magic,” treats audiences to a spectacular variety of dances, including gliding waltzes, playful swing dances and dramatic, high-energy Latin dances. A

special black-light number and the team’s competition medleys give additional appeal to the showcase. The dancers engage the audience with pieces that flow between elegant forms and fast-paced rhythms accompanied with amazing, colorful costumes and dramatic choreography.

According to studio estimates Sunday, the Clint Eastwood film narrowly surpassed the previous top Super Bowl weekend draw at the North American box office. The concert film “Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour” opened with $31.1 million against the NFL’s big game in 2008.

As time passed and experience shaped my perspective on life and relationships, my ‘favorite’ Sondheim pieces changed.

Powered by their devotion to each other and an unwavering “pioneering spirit,” they are able to overcome anything.

The show features a lush musical score with five original songs, among them “Move On,” which captures the restlessness and excitement of loading up the covered wagon to find a new home, and “Fishin’,” a duet in which Laura and Pa laugh and share tall tales at their favorite fishing hole.

Written and directed by ArtsPower Artistic Director Greg Gunning with music by his longtime collaborator Richard DeRosa, “Laura Ingalls Wilder” has been a hit with audiences since its premiere in 1995.

“At ArtsPower, we are committed to enriching children’s lives through the performing arts,” executive producer Gary Blackman says.

“By introducing our audiences to enthusiastic characters like Laura, children can see new possibilities in life and in themselves. Since many of our musicals and dramas are based on popular and classic literature for young readers, we ignite their desire to read.”
