FROM THE EDITOR My Monday and Tuesday nights have been taken over by “The Voice” and weeks into watching the show, I’m still kind of surprised by that.

Here’s why: I haven’t liked a lot of TV shows where people have to compete against each other — when they have to get votes or complete an arduous task to make it to the finish line.

But I really like “The Voice.” A friend of mine intro-

duced me to the show, and now I watch it two nights a week every week. We discuss the performers’ choice of songs, their style and the sets on stage. We get nervous during some of the performances and elimination rounds.

The show is in its fourth season, so I’m a little late to the game, but I am discovering how fun it is to watch. I like the judges — the banter between the four of them is half the fun. I also like that the show is about just what it says — the voice. Artists advance based on their performances, and there have been some awesome shows. There is too much country music for my taste,

but I like hearing the renditions of different songs.

I’ve always enjoyed musical performances. It is fun to watch on TV, but it is even better to see live productions, and there are plenty of opportunities to do that locally. Showings of “Seussical the Musical” begin tonight at The Old Barn Community Theatre. “Footloose, the Musical” will hit the stage later this month, and “Nunsense” opened Thursday. Read about these events and other upcoming shows in the following pages.

‘Lightning Bug’ opens tonight “The Lightning Bug: The Musical” will be performed June 7-29, at Heritage Theatre, 2505 S. U.S. Hwy. 89 in Perry. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, with matinees at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 15, and Saturday, June 22.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and children.

For reservations, call 435723-8392 daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. except Tuesdays and Sundays, or visit www. heritagetheatreutah.com.

Directed by Kamron Klitgaard with music by Derek Myler, “The Lightning Bug: The Musical” was also written by Klitgaard.

It’s 1905. The Turn of the Century. And the country is booming with new inventions including the horseless carriage, flight, Coca-Cola, and, of course, moving pictures.

In Pittsburgh, Penn., The Curses Foiled Again Theatre has been a thriving business for more than 40 years, performing melodrama plays in front of enthused audiences every night. Then, as fate would have it, the moving pictures come to town —

Anna (Dawn Allen), the theatre owner can’t believe she is being put out of business by a “colorless illusion,” so she tries to win the patrons back by becoming

like the movies, performing their play in black and white and mouthing the words while holding subtitles.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Nickelodeon, Nick Lightning (Trenton Fordham), who has wanted to be a stage-actor, disguises himself as a world-famous

foreign actor and joins Anna’s troupe. He has now fallen in love with Anna and she with the foreign actor, but hates Nick for taking her patrons not knowing they are the same person. Nick is finally exposed and so is the real reason for the demise of melodrama.

Tickets available for Clarkston Pageant Marking the 30th year since its inception, the Clarkston Pageant “Martin Harris: The Man Who Knew” will be presented Aug. 2-3, 6-10 and 13 to 17.

Free tickets are now available for this production which recounts some of the early events surrounding the founding of The Church of Jesus Christ

“If you have a mediocre cook in your life, every bland, overcooked bite that enters your mouth should be a reminder that you need to make a change in yourself.”

of Latter-day Saints and the life of the prominent Palmyra, N.Y., citizen Martin Harris, one of the three witnesses to the origin of the Book of Mormon.

The biannual pageant is presented in the outdoor amphitheater adjacent to the Clarkston Cemetery, where Martin Harris is buried. The event traditionally draws thousands to the pic-

turesque farm community on the west side of Cache County.

Admission is free, but reservations are required and may be obtained online at www.clarkstonpageant. org.

“This fast-paced, 90-minute pageant tells some of the profound events that took place in upper New York state in the summer of

1829, the year before The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized,” pageant president Paul Willie notes. “The script has been revised and shortened and a new set was recently incorporated to tell the story of a man whose struggle with faith and community is played out in the colorful and moving production.”

Pet: Tia From: Cache Humane Society Why she’s so lovable: I am called Tia and I want to play! Do you have any balls with bells in them? I love to play with other cats, though, sometimes, they find me a little too energetic. I like to play with dogs and kids too. I need a loud, busy family to wear me out every day and let me fall asleep on their laps.

I have short, easy-to-groom fur.

Come to the shelter today and let’s have fun!

During this free, three-day event, more than 135 artists from as far away as Lousiana will showcase visual, wearable, functional, edible, playful, recycled and personalized art. Scholarship recipients will also exhibit their projects. Children of all ages will love this year’s festival with whimsical Art Yard activities for $3. They can also have their faces painted, interact with artists, play with toys and games and have balloon sculptures created from their imaginations. The Summerfest main stage will come alive with jazz, blues, folk, oldies, bluegrass, celtic, acapella, classic rock, soul, finger-style guitar, swing and salsa.

In addition, there will be storytelling, musical theatre, acoustic musicians and other performance arts in the newly covered Acoustic Venue.

“Great food is part of the tradition of excellence people have come to expect at Summerfest,” Ditton said.

Only the best food vendors have been selected to tempt with scrumptious snacks, treats and meals.

Summerfest hours are Thursday through Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Ditton said many artist booths will close one hour earlier each night, so shop before dark, then eat and listen to live music for the rest of the evening.

The Concerts at Noon Series at the Logan Tabernacle on Friday, June 7, will feature Musical Moments with the Broadbents.

The Broadbents are gifted musicians who share their talents with joy and enthusiasm. Merrilee is the arranger and artistic director of the group. Richard will melt your heart with his rich baritone voice. Michelle is a performance graduate of USU and BYU; she was BYU’s prestigious “Singer of the Year” and will thrill you with her gorgeous high notes and downto-earth delivery. James, whose performance background includes everything from musical theater to opera, brings warmth and beauty to your favorite melodies. He and his talented wife, Annie, light up the stage with their love songs.

Christopher, age 13, is just plain fun.

Monday, June 10, the series will highlight Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre. Singers and instrumentalists will perform their favorite music in addition to previewing the upcoming UFOMT season.

The Fry Street String Quartet will perform Tuesday, June 11.

In 2002, at the invitation of Utah State University and the Caine Foundation, the Fry Street Quartet arrived in Logan. The task was to build a performance-based approach to a string program in its infancy. In 2012, the landscape is much transformed. This marks the 10th season for what has become an extraordinary collaboration.

The resulting transformation is now a vibrant center for string performance in the Intermountain Region with an emerging group of performers, established and internationally recognized.

Violinist Robert Waters has concertized throughout the U.S. and abroad. In 2008, he was appointed Concertmaster of Chicago’s acclaimed orchestral/choral ensemble, Music of the Baroque. Waters has also served as associate professor of violin at the DePaul University School of Music in Chicago and as associate concertmaster of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra.

Violinist Rebecca McFaul has toured North and South America, the Balkan States, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, and Israel as soloist and chamber musician. At age 15, Rebecca

spent the summer at Tanglewood in the presence of great artists such as Leonard Bernstein and Yo Yo Ma. Rebecca is an assistant professor of professional practice at the Utah State University Caine College of the Arts.

Violist Bradley Ottesen served four seasons as assistant principal violist with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra in Alberta, Canada. He currently teaches on the string and chamber music faculty of the Caine College of the Arts at USU. He holds a master’s degree from the New England Conservatory and a bachelor’s from Northwestern University.

Cellist Anne Francis Bayless has performed in venues from Carnegie Hall in New York to a Maori Longhouse in New Zealand, firmly establishing herself as a leading educator and artist of her generation. She began playing the cello when she was 4 years old and later became one of the youngest members of the Kalamazoo Symphony, performing in the cello section while still in high school. Anne currently teaches on the faculty of the Caine College of the Arts at USU.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

In the near future, 2022 to be exact, the United States of America has become a beacon of equality, kindness, and a nearly non-existent crime rate.

How did one of the most violent nations become so docile? The Annual Purge.

Once a year, for 12 continuous hours, every illegal activity, including murder, is legal. It’s basically a version of the Hunger Games, except everyone participates whether they like it or not. Proponents of this supposedly cathartic exercise cite scientific evidence that it’s human nature to be mean, nasty and violent. If we simply limit those urges to one night a year, then everyone will be happy-go-lucky the rest of the time.

As one might imagine an entire economy has been built around The Annual Purge. The rich suburbanites are able to afford swanky security systems with thick steel coverings for doors and windows (one wonders why they don’t just take a planned vacation out of the country). Those less fortunate are left outside, hoping that active participants of The Purge don’t find them.

The Sandin family is one of the fortunate ones.

They live in an upscale neighborhood, drive fancy cars, and live out every Purge inside their home that immediately turns into a fortified bunker at the touch of a button. James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) coincidentally sells security systems made specifically for the violent mayhem that takes place.

The high-concept dystopian idea is interesting on the surface. There’s an entire series of novels that could be written with The Purge as its central driving force. That’s why the first

ers, dressed in prep school pullovers and blazers, who are ready to get their Purge on. Of course the leader of the gang is a creepylooking blonde kid who talks and acts like a silent simmering psychopath, because this movie is unable to feature anything close to original.

Forgetting about its lofty ideas and eschewing any

sort of social commentary “The Purge” moves toward cheap, frantically edited fight sequences that make absolutely zero sense when trying to perceive what’s going on. Most of the masked preppies that arrive at the Sandins’ house are simply there to get killed in a variety of gruesome ways.

DeMonaco fails to give

the story or the Sandins any sort of emotional heft. It’s all surface all the time. Instead he feels content with chaotic action, idiotic villain monologues, and a cheesy twist at the end which only serves to undermine whatever it was that came before.

The biggest problem with “The Purge” is that it can’t really be enjoyed on any level. It’s inept at giving any sort of deep commentary or tackling important societal issues, but it also fails at being an exciting genre film.

Every single horror trope is here. Take out the idea behind the movie and you have yet another generically made slasher film.

‘NUNSENSE’ Old Lyric Repertory Company opens 2013 season with this musical comedy about the Sisters of Hoboken

A

mnesia, poisoning, death and burial are often devices used in tragedies — but add five wacky Catholic nuns to the mix and you have “Nunsense,” the hilarious musical comedy playing at the Caine Lyric Theatre.

The production is the opening show for the Old Lyric Repertory Company’s 2013 season, which also includes “The Odd Couple,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” “James and the Giant Peach” and “The Woman in Black.” This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of the historic Caine Lyric Theatre.

“Nunsense” was chosen as the season’s first show because “it blows you away,” said Dennis Hassan, Old Lyric Repertory Company artistic director.

“We know it’s going to be very funny and people are going to love it.”

Hassan said the company staged the show about 12 years ago, and it was the one of their all-time best selling productions.

The show depicts the Sisters of Hoboken’s attempt to raise funds to bury their accidentally poisoned dead by putting on a variety show.

‘NUNSENSE’ Old Lyric Repertory Company opens 2013 season with this musical comedy about the Sisters of Hoboken

A

mnesia, poisoning, death and burial are often devices used in tragedies — but add five wacky Catholic nuns to the mix and you have “Nunsense,” the hilarious musical comedy playing at the Caine Lyric Theatre.

The production is the opening show for the Old Lyric Repertory Company’s 2013 season, which also includes “The Odd Couple,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” “James and the Giant Peach” and “The Woman in Black.” This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of the historic Caine Lyric Theatre.

“Nunsense” was chosen as the season’s first show because “it blows you away,” said Dennis Hassan, Old Lyric Repertory Company artistic director.

“We know it’s going to be very funny and people are going to love it.”

Hassan said the company staged the show about 12 years ago, and it was the one of their all-time best selling productions.

The show depicts the Sisters of Hoboken’s attempt to raise funds to bury their accidentally poisoned dead by putting on a variety show. The main characters — a onetime tightrope walker, a competitive secondin-command, an amnesiac, a ballerina and a streetwise nun from Brooklyn — each perform their own acts for the show, attempting to balance flamboyancy and reverence. Hassan described what ensued as “all out crazy

Remember the scene in “What About Bob?” where an ambiguously crazy Bill Murray sits down with the family of Dr. Leo Marvin at the lake house for dinner?

He obviously enjoys his meal and lets everyone know it. “Mmmm,” he raptures to the pleased chef. “Is this corn hand shucked?”

Whenever I share a meal with my husband’s uncle, I remember that scene. We call my husband’s uncle Bob because, coincidentally, that is actually his name.

He isn’t crazy, ambiguously or otherwise. He is a tough-as-nails, hardworking farmer from Hooper. Bob and I don’t have much in common except relatives and food.

And when I say food, I mean that I love to feed Uncle Bob. When I bring a dish to a family potluck, I prepare it thoughtfully for his sake. I think about

Bread and Butter LAEL GILBERT

Page 10 - The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, June 7, 2013

Show appreciation for the cook in your life

what Bob might like to eat and how he might like it prepared. I keep little notes in my head about his preferences.

Forget the rest of the hungry crowd. Bob is an appreciative connoisseur of food. He admires good food and, like the crazy Bob, raptures over it.

“My word, these cookies are incredible. I’ve never had such a good macaroon!”

“Oh goodness, this is what I call a chicken

kabob!”

“These rolls are absolutely incredible! How do you manage to get them so buttery?”

He has me, culinarily, wrapped around his little finger. His secret? He shows appreciation, and I like to be appreciated.

My mom, who is a teacher, taught me a similar trick for the classroom.

When a class begins, keep your eyes on the teacher. Smile and nod a lot. You’ll notice the teacher migrating toward your side of the room.

Eventually he’ll place himself directly in front of you, teaching right to you. The rest of the students will be a hazy buzz in the background. You’ll get a one-on-one lesson with the teacher’s very best effort on display.

I totally works. I’ve tried it. I can only imagine what would happen if I included some really good coconut macaroons

into that classroom equation. My question is, why does it work so well?

How does Uncle Bob impel me into making a pear-caramel tart with a shortbread crust with just a flash of his pearly whites and a kind word or two? I like to think I’m above the need for validation from others for my self-worth. And for the most part I am. I don’t really care what people think about my cooking.

My rule of thumb is that if I think it tastes good, it is good enough.

But the truth is that day to day I cook for three vocal and tactless little boys (bless their hearts).

What my rule of thumb allows me to do is tune out negative feedback.

What? You don’t like the fish tacos I just spent two hours preparing? Put a lid on it and eat your dinner.

Water off a duck’s back.

Positive feedback, on the other hand, is power-

ful stuff. It gets under my skin. It makes me happy. It makes me want to cook more. Whatever other intrinsic benefits I derive from my work in the kitchen, whether it be educational, practical or entertainment, I still like to feel that I contribute something positive to the big picture and that somebody notices. It is human nature.

When a person feels appreciated, they feel safe. This sets us free to take chances, to stretch ourselves, to do our best work. It gives us energy and a feeling of confidence and commitment.

But, you interrupt, how can I show appreciation when my someone is a lousy cook? Well, to that I would respond that it is entirely your own fault.

We live in a reactive and defensive culture. We’re often more experienced at expressing negative emotions than we are at

positive ones. It is easier to criticize than to build up. But criticism makes a person feel at risk. This causes worry. Worrying drains and diverts energy from creativity, and cooking at a fundamental level is a practice in creativity.

If you have a mediocre cook in your life, every bland, overcooked bite that enters your mouth should be a reminder that you need to make a change in yourself.

Channel your inner Bob. Through appreciation, make the cook in your life feel safe. Make them understand that their food is contributing to your whole, and that you recognize it. Only then will they be able to take the chances they need to take to become a good cook.

Or maybe a great one.

All it will take is some practice and a decent cookbook.

’80s classic coming to the stage Four Seasons Theatre Company is presenting their summer production “Footloose, the Musical,” based on the ’80s motion picture classic. This exhilarating musical explodes to life on the stage June 13-15, 17, 20-22. The show’s score includes rocking hits made famous by the movie such as “Almost Paradise,” “Let’s Hear it for the Boy,” “I Need a Hero,” and, of course, the title song, “Footloose.”

“Footloose, the Musical” is the story of a Chicago city kid, Ren McCormack (Danny Rash) transplanted with his mother (Cathy Neeley) to the small town of Bomont. The town is still scarred by a fatal accident that killed four of Bomont’s brightest youth five years earlier. In an effort to avoid having history ever repeat itself, the town, led by Reverend Shaw Moore (Scott Hunsaker), bans and strictly prohibits rock

music and dancing of any kind.

Moore’s daughter, Ariel (Hillary Peterson), struggles to break free of the confines of the town and befriends the new move-in, Ren, who starts a revolution among the other teens to change the town’s laws.

Other cast members include Teresa Jones (Vi Moore), Meghan Bowen (Rusty), Parker Beus (Willard Hewitt), Jon Rash (Chuck Cranston), and many other talented performers from Cache Valley. The show is direct-

ed by Kody Rash.

“Footloose” teaches the importance of family, acceptance and standing up for what you believe in. This production will appeal to all ages and will leave everyone singing and “cutting loose” in the aisles.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. The production will be in the Sky View High School Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.

Visit fourseasonstheatre.org or call 752-4835 to reserve your tickets today.

Your Stuff “Mourning Dove”

By Kate White It is here in this dim, musty room that I see her face for the last time, so familiar, yet so unlike her.

Her eyes have glazed over and they gaze into the oblivion while her face looks white and cold.

I need to get out; I need to breathe.

I run into the damp morning air.

The sun is lighting the sky in vibrant pinks and oranges.

The dew is still fresh on the ground.

Renewal.

Mocking me.

And that’s when I hear it, beginning softly, then starting to grow.

The cooing from the Mourning Dove. I follow its disconsolate sound.

I see her on the thin limbs of the willow tree. Her eyes meet mine, and she cries again.

Two more join her and together their coos wrench my heart.

The remorseful song breaks my resolve.

Stumbling, I drop to my knees beneath their willow.

Accompanied by the sounds of their pity, I bury my face in my hands and weep.

Vocal Performance Camp scheduled for August For more than 15 years, Vocal Performance Camp has been providing training for teens ages 12 through 18 years interested in vocal performance in traditional voice and also Mauldin musical theater. Held Aug. 5-9 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Utah State

University, and presented by the USU Department of Music and Caine College of the Arts, this popular camp offers five days and more than 30 hours of training in small group voice classes, choir, specialized classes and choreographed musical theater production numbers. Themed “Puttin’ On the Ritz,” the camp will feature musical theater numbers from the classic musicals of the ’40s and ’50s era.

“Each day offers something

fun and exciting for the campers. Many returning singers enjoy coming together with friends from last year’s camp,” says Bonnie Slade, camp artistic director. Final recitals and staged performances conclude the week.

This year’s guest artist will be John Mauldin, outstanding tenor and performer from Sun Valley, Idaho, where he is currently director of entertainment at the Sun Valley Resort. His extensive experience on the

concert and musical theater stage qualifies him as the ideal guest artist and teacher for “Puttin’ On the Ritz.”

According to Slade, “Vocal Performance Camp is among the top camps of its type in the nation. Our enrollment is limited by age groups to maintain an even balance in the camp and early registration is recommended. Boys with unchanged voices are welcomed and no prior experience is needed. We have a highly qualified team

of professional instructors who meet the expectations of the campers.”

Cost for the 30-hour camp is $115 before July 15 and covers all materials. (Fee increases to $125 after deadline.) No campus housing is provided.

Singers are accepted on a first come basis. Contact Bonnie Slade, artistic director, at 435760-7361 for information and registration forms or online at http://vocalperformancecamp. usu.edu.

Books Book gives balanced view of energy debates

By Kevin Begos Associated Press

In recent years, the seemingly dry subjects of oil and gas drilling and renewable energy have become fodder for Hollywood movies, celebrity concerts and protests outside the White House. Many advocates suggest one side is “good” for America and the other is “bad,” even if they can’t agree on which energy sources are which.

But like any good movie, the reality is more complicated. If oil and natural gas are bad, does that mean powering a hospital or school with those fuels is bad, too?

What about a poor family that buys cheaper fossil fuels to help put food on the table or buy a house? And if an eagle dies after being hit by a wind turbine blade, is that less of

an outrage than when another one hits a high-transmission power line?

Michael Levi’s “The Power Surge” is a welcome relief to melodramatic debates over energy. With a calm voice and an eye for detail, Levi makes

the case for a more realistic scenario: renewable energy and fossil fuels are set to share the stage for decades to come.

Levi sets the stage by noting that the assumptions many experts made about energy just a few years ago were wrong. The U.S. isn’t running out of oil and natural gas, it’s producing more and even headed toward exporting some of the bounty. But at the same time, renewables such as wind and solar are growing rapidly, too, since mass production and demand have significantly lowered costs.

Levi notes that such massive shifts have “far-reaching consequences for the U.S. economy, the environment, and America’s role in the world.”

But he is quick to add that both sides tend to exaggerate

Burke’s novel a puzzling tale

By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

Alafair Burke has written another puzzling and captivating tale with her latest novel, “If You Were Here.”

McKenna Wright, a writer for New York City magazine, is investigating a corrupt judge when she hears of a woman rescuing a teen who had fallen onto subway tracks.

After the woman pulled him to safety, she ran away. Cameras in the area malfunctioned, and the only video Wright sees is from a shaky cellphone.

Watching the blurry images, McKenna believes the woman is her friend Susan Hauptmann. However, that would be impossible, because Susan disappeared 10 years ago.

The more McKenna looks into what happened, the more she appears to be thwarted.

The cellphone video vanishes, and the article she was writing about the judge blows up in

her face. Her husband doesn’t believe her. Neither do the police. With nowhere to go, McKenna decides the answers are 10 years in the past.

What she finds will not be pleasant.

Alafair Burke excels in writing compelling characterdriven stories mixed with baffling mysteries. It’s difficult at times to understand why Susan was McKenna’s best friend and how their friendship endured under such bizarre circumstances, but that’s a minor quibble. The questions raised — such as how the individual matters in the overall grand scheme of things and how one person can influence many lives — will have introspective readers looking in the mirror while they try to solve the mystery.

the benefits from their fuel of choice, be it shale oil or solar.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has led to a huge boom in U.S. oil and natural gas production, providing jobs, royalties for property owners and lower energy costs for industry and the general public.

Yet compared with the whole economy, the boom is a drop in the bucket, and the bounty won’t make the Middle East or Russia irrelevant, it will just provide some political

and economic buffers. Levi also notes that people have legitimate environmental concerns about the process.

And though solar and wind power have made enormous gains, they still provide just a few percent of total energy in the U.S. Getting to the point where those renewables replace 30, 40 or 50 percent of fossil fuels will take decades, Levi notes, unless See BOOK on Page 13

“Anne of Green Gables,” by Lucy Maud Montgomery, was first published in 1908 and has become one of the best selling and beloved novels of all time. The story of a young orphan girl and her adventures on Prince Edward Island on the eastern Canadian coast resonates themes of acceptance, the courage to be oneself and a sense of family.

Perhaps it is no wonder, then, that the musical theater production of the story, performed by Cache Theatre Company in Logan, June 21-29, has become a family affair for several families in the area. With its cast of nearly 50 characters, more than half are made up of families who have decided that a fun summer activity would be to play together in a musical theatre production.

The Teuscher family is one of these. From Smithfield, Mom, Dad and two children are involved. “Our kids love to be in musicals, and since my schedule allowed it, I decided to audition with them just for fun,” said Karen Teuscher, mother of the clan.

“When we got to the audition, it seemed like there might be

Book Continued from Page 12 there is some enormous technical breakthrough.

Levi touches on many ways the energy boom may impact other issues, including climate change, foreign policy and even the dynamics within small communities.

This occasionally simplifies some topics so much that it might have been better to leave them out, such as the question of whether the U.S. and China will ever engage in a major war. That’s a subject for several books, not just a few pages.

But on most topics there is a wealth of detail and insights, delivered in a clear

a need for more men in the show, so we volunteered my husband, Trevor, as well. I think he was a little dismayed at first, but it has turned out to be really fun to do all together.”

Karen plays Lucilla, the shopkeeper, in the production. Trevor plays the station master. Their children play some of the pupils of Avonlea school.

Afton Lovell from Smithfield, who portrays the energetic and free-spirited teacher, Miss Stacey, feels similarly.

Afton’s daughter, Ellie, plays one of the kids in the production. “Being in a show is a big commitment of time and energy, but I’ve found that by having my kids do shows with me it isn’t such a hardship on everyone as we are together more not less! We get to have this experience together, meet new friends, learn and grow with each other. I love the friendships that we make and can’t think of a better experience to share with my kids. We have the chance to talk while traveling to rehearsals, we work on our lines together and our music together. We are all working prose that makes reading about wonky topics such as gigawatts bearable. And ultimately, Levi has an important message: For Americans to reap the full benefits from the energy boom and avoid potential harm to the economy, public health and the environment, policymakers will need to make balanced, rational choices and avoid the temptation to believe that there are simple answers to fueling the world’s enormous appetite for energy.

Partisans on both sides may object to that message, but in a huge nation of diverse cultural and political beliefs, it’s hard to argue with Levi’s suggestion that the country should carefully embrace both old and new forms of energy.
