FROM THE EDITOR Unless you’re under 20 years old or have children of a certain age, you’re probably not familiar with the movie, “Sky High.”

Released in 2005, “Sky High” starred Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston as parents and retired superheroes, who send their son to a high school designed to accommodate future superheroes and their sidekicks.

Of course, humor and highjinks ... sorry, I mean, hijinks ... ensue, and a great deal of damage is inflicted on the school as the students learn how to use their special powers.

Now, I have no idea if the Sky High Players have anything to do with “Sky High” the movie, but by the numerous productions and dinner theater shows that they’re able to crank out, it’s clear that the Sky High Players must have some super powers of their own.

“These students are top-notch and extremely talented,” says David Sidwell, drama instructor for the Sky High Players, “The student directors, and the actors, have proven themselves and have earned their positions in these productions.”

Up next for the Sky High Players is the One Act Play Festival, which will feature four major, one-act plays and many variety numbers On April 15 and 17, they will present the plays “No More, Mrs. Nice Guy”

by Jonathan Rand and “The Judgement

of Paris” by Lucian of Samosata, along with several pre-show performances and songs. And on April 16 and 18, the plays “Lockdown” by Douglas Craven, and “An Actor’s Nightmare” by Christopher Durang will be presented along with some other pre-show performances.

“Each evening’s one-act plays will be preceded by entre-acts of many varieties, from charming songs to short scenes, including short works presenting the infamous Noodlehead Cowboys,” Sidwell says.

“Other comic and dramatic acts will also be included, rounding out each evening.”

Tickets for the One Act Festival at the SVHS Auditorium are $5 per person, and can be purchased online at skyhighplayers.org.

‘Freetown’ tells story of ’90 escape from Liberia

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

A main problem with much of Mormon cinema is the inability to decide what comes first: the story or proselytizing. Stories like the one told in “Freetown” have the ability to exist independently from what appears to be an obligation to explain the main tenents of the Mormon faith. Yet, the screenplay penned by Garrett Batty (“The Saratov Approach”) and Utah local playwright Melissa Leilani Larson is packed full of strained teaching moments where the characters might as well be looking right through the camera, directly to the audience. This sort of obviousness steers “Freetown” away from true cinematic drama, and toward a sentimentality best received in an LDS Institute class.

The movie follows a group of young African LDS missionaries as they try to proselytize during an extremely violent Liberian civil war during 1989. Liberian rebels are hunting down members of the Krahn Tribe who they view as the enemy after a fraudulent election placed them at the head of the government. With a constant threat of death hanging over their heads, the elders continue to try and teach as many people as possible

until it becomes too dangerous to continue.

Batty has a keen directorial eye. Sure, he’s working with some unique and beautiful jungle scenery, but with the help of cinematographer Jeremy Prusso, “Freetown” has the look and feel of a glossy Hollywood-produced film. It’s very well photo-

graphed even though after a while it’s fairly evident that Batty’s go-to shot is the aerial. While the shot definitely loses its luster over time, the surrounding beauty of the filming locations provides enough variety to keep the imagery interesting and engaging.

It could be argued that the

movie isn’t so much about the group of six elders at its center as it is about their Doubting Thomas escort, Brother Abubakar (Henry Adofo). When the group finally deems that they must flee to nearby Freetown or risk getting killed by the rebels, Abubakar packs them up in his tiny car and sets out on a danger-fraught road trip.

Tiny unexplainable “miracles” happen along the way as the group encounters rebels, seemingly runs on an empty tank of gas for miles, and then is delivered out the See PERIL on Page 13

Utahns featured in ‘100 Miles from Nowhere’ NEW YORK (AP) — No one needs to be reminded of our selfie epidemic, and certainly not when traveling.

(Hey, you people mugging for your GoPros — anybody notice the Grand Canyon out there?)

Happily, “100 Miles from Nowhere,” an extreme travelogue from Animal Planet, isn’t swarming with tourists as its trio of intrepid adventurers makes glorious use of video selfies — and gives the tired reality-TV genre a jolt.

“100 Miles” (which premiered last week and airs Sunday at 8 p.m. MDT) stars Matt Galland and his pals Danny Bryson and Blake Josephson as they seek out paths that are not just less travelled but nonexistent, in some of the most

remote spots in the world.

Their mission: Celebrate nature, share some laughs and put themselves and their friendship to the test as they cover 100 miles in four days.

But unlike the traditional documentary or reality show there is no production crew shadowing this threesome.

They tote their own cameras, shoot their own footage and interview one another along the way, capturing their rugged escapades as they endure them.

These Utah natives — Galland, a part-time college professor; Bryson, a software entrepreneur who grew up down the street; and Josephson, a contractor who met Galland rebuilding his basement — clearly share a sense of

brotherhood and a happy-golucky attitude even as they face constant challenges. They’re fun to travel with vicari-

ously — all the more so in the absence of an off-screen camera crew filtering their relationship with their audience.

“It’s real adventures, real friendships, but no blueprint,” says Galland, who, calls “100 Miles” not a survival show, but a “thrival” show. The production company, Renegade 83, “literally drops us off somewhere remote and says, ‘Go have fun.’” He chuckles.

“I’m sure they’re biting their nails, thinking, ‘We’re giving those guys $10,000 worth of cameras and sending them off.’ Lucky for them, every adventure is blowing our minds.”

On this week’s episode, Matt, Danny and Blake head deep into the Arizona desert where they battle harsh winds, freezing temperatures, sprawling sand and deadly slot See MILES on Page 12

Pixar gets emotional about June’s ‘Inside Out’ EMERYVILLE, Calif.

(AP) — Fear, anger, disgust, sadness and joy have taken over Pixar headquarters, and things are going great.

The Oscar-winning animation studio is celebrating the completion of “Inside Out,” a film that features each of those emotions as personified characters controlling operations inside in a little girl’s head.

Sculptures, sketches, paintings and other concept art from the film 5½ years in the making fills a gallery at the studio’s resort-like headquarters in Northern California. Some 350 artists and technicians collaborated under the direction of Pete Docter (“Up,” ‘’Monsters, Inc.”) to bring the imaginative adventure to life.

“Inside Out” tells a story of two worlds

‘Furious 7’ takes off fast at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — The highoctane “Furious 7” peeled out of the gates in its opening weekend, picking up a stunning $143.6 million from 4,004 locations to easily top the domestic box office, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.

The expectation-shattering sum is a studio and franchise best for the homegrown car-obsessed series, which has continued to grow over the past few films.

“Furious 7,” now the ninth-biggest opening of all time, also unseats previous April record-holder “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which opened to $95 million on the same weekend last year.

While the “Fast and Furious” films have grown in popularity over the past three films, the megaopening for “Furious 7” was also at

least partially tied to audience interest in star Paul Walker, who died in a car crash in Nov. 2013 before the film was completed.

Production on “Furious 7” was halted while the filmmakers and Universal decided whether or not to proceed with the film. The team ultimately decided to delay the release from its originally scheduled July 2014 date.

“It probably created some curiosity, but, at the same time, (the film) fits in so well with the overall continuing saga of the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise,” Nick Carpou, Universal’s president of domestic distribution, said of Walker.

“It’s a motivator, but it’s not by any means the prime motivator the see the movie,” he added.

There is also a sense that massive

openings like “Furious 7” point to the creeping of summer blockbuster season, which seems to be starting earlier and earlier as studios try to stake their claim on prime dates.

But for Carpou, in a 52-week-ayear release strategy, the demarcation of a summer blockbuster is almost irrelevant when it comes to getting audiences to turn out in droves for a film.

“It’s that corny old adage that if you build it, they will come,” he said.

Holdovers populated the rest of the top spots with “Home” earning $27.4 to take a distant second place. “Get Hard” brought in an estimated $12.9 million, while “Cinderella” and “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” rounded out the top five with $10.3 million and $10 million, respectively.

of the emotion team, but when she and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) get lost deep in the recesses of Riley’s subconscious, Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Dis-

gust (Mindy Kaling) are left in charge. Joy and Sadness, with the help of a character named Bing Bong, must bridge their differences to ensure Riley’s happiness and the

ongoing development of her personality — heady territory for an animated, family film.

With the project recently completed, Docter and producer Jonas Rivera invited reporters to Pixar to explain why “Inside Out” was so time-consuming.

Animated movies typically take longer than live action to produce because everything has to be built — not only the sets and costumes but the characters and cameras.

On this film, though, the artists had to create entire worlds.

“Inside Out” started with an idea from Docter inspired by his daughter, who’d gone from an outgoing, happy kid to a quiet, sullen pre-teen.

He imagined a story set inside a little girl’s mind that explored what went See PIXAR on Page 12

Say what you will about author Nicholas Sparks — the man knows his schmaltz.

With all its gooey sentimentality and eyerolling predictability, “The Longest Ride” still manages to produce a decently watchable drama about love, sacrifice and all the rest.

That’s not to say that the story of problematic love between art student Sophia (Britt Robertson) and bull riding champion Luke (Scott Eastwood) is even the least bit interesting. It’s hard to relate to them.

Nah, their story is an afterthought, so it’s a good thing there’s a completely different movie waiting to be discovered here.

Sophia and Luke are from — this is a Nicholas Sparks movie, so you know what’s coming next — “different worlds.” City girl, country guy. Their serendipitous meet-cute is entirely contrived, but cathartic and familiar.

He’s smitten, yet she’s moving to New York in a few months for a dream art gallery internship. How will they ever make it work?

Luke is introduced by a rodeo announcer as, “Easy on the eyes. A magician on the bull.”

Ain’t that the truth?

Though, Luke is dangerously close to killing himself if he keeps hopping on bulls with his checkered injury histo-

BALLET FOR THE MASSES: Young Ballet West

Nothing brings home the difficulty of a double pirouette like trying it yourself.

The move — which requires one to leap into the air and spin 720 degrees before landing — looks practically effortless when done by a professional, but a handful of local students found out differently on Monday. These pickedfrom-the-audience dancers first tried a single pirouette, which most performed with relative ease. But the double — that was a different story.

“The double spin was somewhat hard, but very fun,” said 15-year-old Camden Winn.

“Using the suggested ballet technique, I was able to make one and a half spins.”

The first-hand opportunity was part of the Ballet West for Children Program’s “Ballet and the Nutcracker” performance on Monday at the Whittier Center in Logan.

The Salt Lake City troupe talked to a group of Loganarea students about the training involved in becoming a dancer, demonstrated techniques and even invited some of the youngsters to come on stage and try some moves.

It’s all part of the Professional Outreach Program to Schools, created by the Utah State Legislature and the Utah State Office of Education to enrich the lives of schoolchildren.

Organizations bring artists, dancers, scientists, musicians and thespians into the classroom to work directly with students in the state-funded program.

For its part, Ballet West goes to 125 schools a year and performs in front of about 60,000 students, doing several shows a day during their tours, according to Peter Christie, director of Ballet West’s Education and Outreach Programs. The goal is to get to every school in the

state at least once every five years, ensuring that each student gets to see a show during their time in elementary school.

This week in Cache Valley they performed at Ellis, Nibley, Adams, Mountainside and River Heights elementaries, as well as conducting a session with Cache Valley Civic Ballet.

“A lot of times this is kids’ first exposure to ballet, especially in rural areas,” said Christie, “and we try to make it accessible. We hope that exposure leads to them attending a performance or seeing something we do in the theater.”

These outreach performances have also led to several dancers joining Ballet West, Christie said. The dancers on Monday were all in their late teens and are members of Ballet West 2, a second company that trains dancers and gives them a chance to try out for positions with the main company.

Although Ballet West visited several Cache Valley schools this week, the Whittier performance was unique because it was the company’s first show for a homeschool audience.

“This is nice because we don’t usually get the opportu-

“To have this facility offer to host is really unique — it’s very special.”

The event was arranged by Steffanie Casperson, a former Ballet West dancer who homeschools her children and teaches ballet classes, and

Utah Online School paid to rent the Whittier.

“This is such a treat,” Casperson said after the performance. “For some kids, this was their first exposure to ballet, and for others, it was their first exposure to ballet at this level.”

Local Utah Online teacher Mindee Taylor agreed, noting that “We felt like this was a unique opportunity that would provide our students and the

community with the chance to learn more about this beautiful art form and celebrate the arts.”

In the Cache Valley area, Utah Online serves over 30 families, with more than 650 students

enrolled across the state.

Some 170 people were in attendance as six young dancers discussed life on the stage and some behindthe-scenes aspects of ballet.

After explaining the training routine, the importance of good nutrition and posture, and some of the basic positions of ballet, they invited a dozen volunteers to come onto the stage. Following a brief warm-up, the girls were invited to attempt a grand jete, the long and graceful leap that is a core element of ballet. Christie instructed them to imagine mud puddles ahead of them, “and the only way to go to the other side it to go over the puddle.” Some of the youngsters surely had butterflies, but not Casperson’s 8-year-old daughter, Evelyn, who floated over the “puddles” as if she

were a butterfly herself.

“I just thought it was pretty normal, ‘cause the audience wasn’t a huge audience and they weren’t very familiar with ballet,” said Evelyn, who admittedly has the advantage of years of ballet training under her belt.

Then the boys were trained on the double pirouette, and made their attempts. Evelyn’s brother Kai, 11, was also undaunted by performing publicly. He said that with practice he could “probably master it (the double) in a few months,” since he has studied the pirouette before.

“Well, I think if I took my

sneakers off then it would be easier,” he added. “But it was really difficult. I like all the hard challenges in ballet and that it’s really fun to do once you’ve done it for a year or two, because you get to do the cooler moves and really cool jumps and it looks really good.”

Kai said that although some of his friends were lukewarm about watching ballet, “by the end, they were leaning in towards the stage because they were really into it. I think they learned how hard it is to do ballet.”

Indeed, the young audience seemed unusually attentive as the dance troupe launched into a fully costumed scene from The Nutcracker.

The scene involved Christmas gifts — not Xboxes and iPhones, but dolls that come to life and dance. When David Huffmire performed a Russian-style dance that included several double pirouettes, it impressed even non-dancers like Winn, who had tried that double pirouette and called the performance “amazing.”

“It is a great privilege to see these talented performers do something that they have put so much of their time and effort into doing,” Winn said.

“Although I’m not interested in doing ballet myself, I think that ballet is a great fit for some people’s dreams and goals, and I will continue to go see ballet performances in the future.”

That’s just the sort of response Casperson hoped for when she set up the performance.

“It was an excellent show, with lots of great info,” she said. “This gives the kids a sense of reaching for something refined and beautiful.

And it’s fun.”

of gigs. In his lifetime he has shared the stage with the likes of Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and countless others.

Over the past 70 years, Joe continued to be a positive force for change on and off the stage. McQueen was instrumental in desegregating the historically all-white clubs in Utah. In the 10 years after retiring at the age of 83, McQueen

served as a volunteer for Human Services of Ogden where he assisted elderly shut-ins for over 40 hours a week, driving them to doctor appointments, grocery shopping and sometimes just a trip to the ice cream shop.

In 2002, Utah Governor Mike Levitt declared April 18 to be Joe McQueen Day in the state of Utah. At age 95, McQueen continues to be a relevant and vibrant member of the commu-

nity, inspiring the next generation of jazz musicians.

McQueen’s current quartet features Ryan Conger (Hammond organ), Brad Wright (guitar) and Don Keipp (drums). The foursome just released its first album earlier this year on vinyl record and CD. The album, entitled “The Legendary Joe McQueen Quartet,” has been called “his most exciting and dynamic album to date.”

Ecology Center and professor of biology at USU. Solnit will provide a public lecture April 16 related to her recent work on mapping the connections between culture and nature in urban environments and participate in events associated with the symposium April 17.

Solnit’s lecture in the Caine Performance Hall will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16, and is free and open to the public. The ARTsySTEM

Symposium is from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 17, in the Caine Performance Hall.

“Mark Lee Koven and I were eager to bring Solnit to campus because of the way her work bridges between the humanist and philosophical strands of my research and teaching and the behavioral and scientific focus of his work, using art as a connective theme,” Sand said. “Her award-winning book on the pioneering photographer Ead-

word Muybridge, ‘River of Shadows,’ combines the best of historical journalism, art criticism and environmental history, while her recent book of collected essays ‘Men Explain Things to Me’ is full of wry humor and sharp social critique.”

Solnit’s literary work has an impressive scope — she has written about everything from gender equality to Icelandic democracy — but she is not “just” a writer, Sand

said.

“Her passion and commitment as an activist working for human rights, peace and environmental justice provides a fantastic example for anyone wanting to make a difference in the world today,” Sand said.

It was annulled 11 weeks later by Pope Innocence at King John’s urging, triggering a civil war. Subsequent kings reissued the great charter four times during that century, maintaining the original guarantee of “the law of the land.”

The Magna Carta was the first significant step in a process of safeguarding constitutional freedoms that continue today.

“Magna Carta was a failed peace treaty,” said Nathan Dorn, Law Library of Congress curator of rare books who also curated the travelling exhibit.

And, despite its initial inefficacy, the Magna Carta is full of ideas that live on in our public life and our constitutional jurisprudence, Dorn said.

“Our ideas of limited government, trial by jury, due process and the writ of habeas corpus are all part of a tradition that’s 800 years old,” he said.

In the early 1600s, legal scholar Edward Coke looked for an ancient basis for limiting the power of the king and he found it in the Magna Carta. He developed a document that became required reading for lawyers, and it later impressed American revolutionaries. Ideas from Coke’s interpretation found their way into the charters of American colonies and, eventually, to the U.S. Constitution.

Miles Continued from Page 6 canyons. Future treks take them to Idaho’s “River of No Return” Wilderness Area, Oregon’s Steens Mountains, Belize, Costa Rica and Chile. But long before “100 Miles,” Galland was getting his jollies from the great outdoors. A 38-year-old family man and history prof at Brigham Young University, he says he was running marathons at age 14 and, from childhood, treated the rugged grandeur of Utah as “my playground.”

In recent years he began filming his arduous invasions into the outback, a one-man-band posting videos on YouTube so his family and friends could share his adventures.

Consider “100 Miles” a latter-day version of those amateur videos, writ large; a GoPro reality show to the max.

It’s high time. Long ago, reality TV hooked viewers with its apparent rawness and, well, realness, despite the throng of videographers, writers, director and stylists hovered just out of camera range.

But the current GoPro obsession has made personal filmmaking the new norm, exposing old-school reality TV’s many contrivances to everyone making “reality TV” for themselves.

“We all know there’s some fatigue with reality television and all its tropes,” says Marjorie Kaplan, group president of Animal Planet as well as TLC and Velocity. “And if people want to see the real thing, they know they can go online and see the real thing as GoPro videos.”

“While this series is beautifully slick, it taps into the GoPro vernacular,” adds Animal Planet executive vice president and general manager Rick Holzman. “You can tell it’s all made by the participants.”

“And it feels like television,” says

Kaplan, “because these guys are so fun.”

Granted, there’s one early step in the process viewers don’t see: Galland planning each odyssey.

“I go into my office,” he says. “I pull up Google Earth. I spin that planet around. Maybe I stop at Mexico. Look at this giant canyon in Chiapas! I call up Renegade and I say, ‘Let’s go to Mexico!’ And they fly us there.”

In the wild, there’s sometimes a critical division of labor. For instance: “Blake got caught in a river in Guatemala, Danny saved him, and I filmed it. There’s a duality: Do we film this? Or do we survive? A lot of the time, we do both. Or sometimes I say, ‘Put the damn camera away, we’ve got to come home!’

“We’ve been doing this our whole lives,” he says, “so if there’s one skill we have, it’s knowing when to say when. This isn’t dangerous.

It’s beautiful and awesome. I want viewers to see that.”

One year later, OtaniJensen debuted as a soloist with the Utah Valley Symphony. She received the Utah Award at the Met National Council Regional Auditions and was a featured soloist with the Utah Symphony at Abravanell Hall.

Continued from Page 5 a question that has been very much (a part) of recent news events: ‘What social conditions lead us to make heroes out of those who demonstrate anti-social behavior?’”

Bonnie and Clyde were notorious criminals, but they were also regarded as heroes by many of the victims of the Great Depression — an almost Robin Hood-like worship based on the “havenots” striking back at authority and those who “have,” Risch said.

“Anyone who has been closely following the news over the past few years or listened to national politicians can see the parallels,” Risch said. “The events in the musical are based on actual events, but it is ultimately a romanticized view of the famous couple.”

There are 29 scenes in the musical as it moves from events from Bonnie and Clyde’s childhoods to the ambush that leads to their deaths. The set needs to be extremely flexible and one that evokes a feel for the

Peril Continued from Page 3 other side unscathed. As far as faith-promoting cinema goes, it’s as on-the-nose as the rest. Abubakar looks on incredulously, as the elders continue to admonish him to have faith. That things will work out. That there’s a plan. Faith, trials, blessings. It’s all there, but it would’ve been nice had the screenplay decided to show it rather than tell it.

Dealing with a true-to-life threat and fear of death, Batty has a lot to work with. Within this context there’s plenty of drama to mine.

However, most of the movie’s real feeling comes from the incessant soundtrack, which never gives up trying to make you really feel. Its swelling score is an unstoppable,

and at times unwelcome force that is never subtle enough to be moving in a genuine way.

True to form, “Freetown” goes out of its way to hide any violence just off screen. It’s awkward and obvious, almost like Clean Flicks got a hold of it before it was released. It’s understandable, but these scenes rarely work as intended because you know exactly what they’re doing since they’re not adept at hiding it, and the actors aren’t experienced enough to provide believable expressions of sudden grief.

The real problems come when “Freetown” feels some sort of obligation to become an unofficial church-sponsored missionary megaphone. I’m not saying that the movie shouldn’t hold true to its faith-based underpinnings. It’s essential. Nevertheless, there are moments that seem conjured up within the screenplay for the sole

USU String Program show

The Utah State University String Program presents its annual spring concert at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 13, in the Caine Performance Hall.

“This concert is the showcase event of the semester for the string students of USU,” said Brad Ottesen, Caine College of the Arts assistant professor and member of the Fry Street Quartet. “Students directly experience the results of their dedication, ideas and skills in this performance.”

Students in the string program are tutored by the Fry Street Quartet members, USU’s resident string group, and string faculty in the music department.

“With the quartet at the center of the string program here, chamber music occupies a central role in the curriculum and artistic output,” Ottesen said. “The students learn this repertoire under the mentorship of the string faculty, but the rehearsal process is largely independent and gives them the opportunity to develop their own skills and artistry.”

Tickets for the String Chamber Music recital are $10 general admission, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with valid ID. For more information and tickets, visit the CCA Box Office in room L101 of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu.

period rather than literal locations, Risch said.

“The costumes (in the USU production) are based upon the research that designer Jenny Schwartzman has done,” Risch said. “There is an iconic look for Bonnie and Clyde based upon photos that were ultimately left behind during a quick getaway and discovered by the police.

These photos became famous and make it increasingly difficult for the couple to stay in one place for any length of time. The photos also helped shape the public’s perception of Bonnie and Clyde.”

Risch tries to give each character and scene respect by staying neutral and maintaining objectivity.

“This story has always intrigued me, and the more I researched, the more fascinated I became with all of the people involved in it,” Risch said. “It was an amazing time in American history and these were colorful youngsters with big dreams.”

“Bonnie & Clyde” includes music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Don Black and book

by Ivan Menchell. It premiered in 2009 in La Jolla, California, and debuted on Broadway in December 2011.

The Stokes Nature Center’s Canyon Jams Series continues with the Three Suns on Saturday, April 18, in Logan Canyon.
