FROM THE EDITOR Take a seat. And I don’t mean that in a “You look extremely tired and haggard. You better sit down and rest”kind of a way. Rather, I mean you might want to look into purchasing a colorful chair that has been created by a Cache Valley artist as part of the Great Chair-ity Challenge. Thanks to a short visit with Wellsvillebased artist Sharon Ohlhorst last Saturday afternoon at the Summerfest Arts

Faire, I initially heard about the inaugural fundraising event currently going on under the direction of Lucy Watkins Peterson of Art on the Lawn fame (see Coming Up on Page 5) and the twodozen members of The Artists’ Gallery at 43 S. Main St. The relatively new artists’ co-op hopes to get numerous submissions from individuals from throughout the area who are willing to “paint, decorate and donate a chair.” Prizes will be given out to the best chairs, and they will all be available for purchase from July 9-11 during downtown Logan’s annual Summer Sidewalk Sale. Proceeds from the Great Chair-ity Challenge will go towards providing art

scholarships for young students through the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. More than a dozen examples of chairs that have already been painted by artists like Ohlhorst, Watkins, Peggy Neuber, Ned Weinshenker and Scott Bushman are currently available for view online at artistsgallerylogan.com. And I have to say, it’s definitely worth checking out the Trump chair provided by the USU Fine Art Department. Will “The Donald” take the top prize at the Great Chair-ity Challenge? I don’t know. But I’m on the edge of my seat with anticipation. — Jeff Hunter

ALL MIXED UP Lyric ready to get wet A stage adaption of one of the most popular movie-musicals of all time, “Singin’ in the Rain,” opened for the first time on the historic Caine Lyric Theatre stage on Thursday night. The original screenplay was by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, with songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed. Audiences may recognize favorite numbers that include “Good Morning,” “Moses Supposes,” “Make ‘Em Laugh” and, of course, the show-stopping title number, “Singin’ in the Rain.” Music direction for the Lyric Rep production is by Luke Shepherd. The musical is presented by Utah State University’s Lyric Repertory Company and the Caine College of the Arts. “The most challenging part about learning the singing and dancing routines in an energetic musical like ‘Singin’ in the Rain’

is doing them with ease and making it look effortless,” said Max Falls, Caine College of the Arts student and lead actor in the show. “When you have lines after a big song and dance you have to speak without appearing tired or out of breath.” The musical follows a Hollywood film studio as it adapts its latest silent film into a “talkie.” From a starlet and her leading man to a love affair that has the potential to change lives and make or break careers, “Singin’ in the Rain” has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline. Actors Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are an in demand item in silent movies but behind the scenes things aren’t quite the same. Lina’s squeaky voice might be the undoing of her career in “talkies” without the help of talented, young actress Kathy Selden to do the talking and singing for her.

“I think the Lyric Rep production of ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ stands out because there aren’t many shows that call for rain to fall, but we will be using actual water on the Caine Lyric Theatre stage,” Falls said. “I think this will be a show people remember and talk about long after it’s over. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to play the role of Don Lockwood and I can’t wait to share it with audiences.” Directed by Chris Will, the “Singin’ in the Rain” cast includes Max Falls (Don Lockwood), Cameron Blankenship (Cosmo Brown), Katie Francis (Kathy Selden), Kelly McGaw (Lina Lamont), W. Lee Daily (Rosco Dexter), Corey Ewan (R.F. Simpson), Savannah Hubbard (Zelda Zanders), Kenny Bordieri (Rod), Michael Francis (Production Singer) and Kinsey See LYRIC on Page 11

Utah Theatre returns with ‘Peter Pan’ Ballam, Biner star in inaugural show of 2016 UFOMT season For the last decade there has been no question in Michael Ballam’s mind what production would christen the stage of the Utah Theatre when it’s renovation was complete. It had to be “Peter Pan.” “No other musical has captured the imagination of children from 1 to 92 as Peter carries us to magical Neverland,” said the founding director of the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre. Ballam’s dream will become a reality on Friday, June 24, when the Broadway production opens in the newly renovated 1924 Utah Theatre, the first time the public will have a chance to see the interior of the Art Deco theatre. Ballam plays the menacing Captain Hook and New York City actor Adam Biner has returned to Logan to literally soar across the stage as Peter Pan. Biner played the lead role in last year’s UFOMT production of “How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” The musical will be directed by Vanessa Ballam, the festival’s education director and Ballam’s daughter. He is thrilled to work with

her for the first time in this capacity. “I saw fairy dust twinkle in her eyes when she first experienced ‘Peter Pan’ as a little girl. Now she is transferring that magic to a new generation of lost boys, pirates, wondrous animals and warriors,” he said. “She was born with theatricality in her blood stream. I always knew her great talent would rise to the top.” The production will showcase the state-of-the-art technical and acoustical features of the Utah Theatre and is part of UFOMT’s 2016 season. Evening performances of “Peter Pan” will be held at 7:30 p.m. June 24-25, July 1, 20 and 26 and Aug. 4. Matinee performances will be held at 1 p.m. June 25, July 2 and 14 and Aug. 3. Ticket prices range from $13 to $77. Students of all ages receive a 25 percent discount with ID.

Hull to play Cache Valley Singer/musician coming Saturday to Bruner Hall The Bridger Folk Music Society will host a concert by renowned singer and mandolinist Sierra Hull at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 25, in Bruner Hall at the Presbyterian Church, 200 W. Center St. Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 the day of the show. Tickets are available via PayPal at bridgerfolk.org. Hull, the former child prodigy who signed with Rounder at age 13, distinguished herself by becoming the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Fifteen-time Grammy winner Béla Fleck produced Sierra’s new recording, “Weighted Mind,” which features 11 compelling new compositions written or co-written by Hull, and one traditional tune for which she and Fleck provided a new arrangement. While Hull’s ethereal voice and fluid playing take center stage here, she receives ample support from bass marvel Ethan Jodziewicz. Béla Fleck’s banjo adorns the elegant “Queen of Hearts/Royal Tea,” and Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn, and Rhiannon Giddens add enchanting harmonies. Though she is best known for her work as a mandolin player, on these songs, Hull reveals her abundant gifts as a composer and lyricist. Themes of loss and restoration run through the album,

AN ACOUSTIC BLAST FROM THE PAST

RELIC ROCKS ON For nearly 15 years, Logan’s Summerfest Arts Faire has held a special place in Irv Nelson’s heart. You see, back in 2003, Nelson’s band, The Fender Benders, competed in the Quest for the Best for Summerfest, in which the top three bands were chosen to perform at the wildly popular annual event. The Fender Benders, a new band at the time, ended up being the No. 1 pick. “We feel a special closeness for Summerfest because when we first organized, Summerfest was our first big gig,” said Nelson, a retired professor of accounting at Utah State University. Ever since winning that competition, performing classic rock at Summerfest has been nearly an annual routine for Nelson, whether it was with The Fender Benders or Relic. Nelson, Steve Roberts and Scott Olsen, three of the four founding members of The Fender Benders, formed Relic, an acoustic classic rock and easy listening band, in 2010. Relic, which typically puts on 15-20 gigs a year, was back at Summerfest last Friday and performed nearly 20 famous cover songs. “We’ve played (all over) in Idaho and Utah,” said Roberts, who is originally from southern California, but moved to Cache Valley 16 years ago. “We’ve played down in California and Wyoming, but the most fun (we have) is right here in Cache Valley, where our friends can come and listen. We enjoy that probably the best, and we really enjoy Summerfest.” Olsen, Nelson and Roberts all take turns as the lead singer of Relic, which prides itself in its ability to harmonize. “It’s pretty unique, isn’t it? And it gives us three-part harmonies, too, which is really, really sweet,” said Nelson, who resides in Smithfield and currently teaches private piano, guitar, bass and vocal lessons. “And it also gives us three different voices. Our voices are very different from each other, and so the songs sound different. I’ve noticed many times that when you hear a band when there’s one singer, after the third song they all sound the same.” “I think it’s just serendipitous that we all knew how to sing and could sing harmonies,” said Olsen, who grew up in Young Ward and resides in Garland. “It just worked out well that way. I’ve always wanted to do something like that, be able to sync your harmonies.”

In addition to performing iconic songs such as “Heart of Gold,” “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” “California Dreamin’” and “Brown Eyed Girl” last Friday, Relic’s three musicians spent a lot of time interacting with and cracking jokes to the audience. This is something Olsen, 55, thoroughly enjoys. “ We realized with the acoustic (band) we didn’t have this big set-up,” said Olsen, who is a truck driver for Hancock Transportation. “I wasn’t so much work, so we could play in smaller venues and we didn’t overpower everything with a lot of loud music. … The Relic band is a lot more intimate, and that’s what it’s all about is the connection with the (audience).” Nelson, who has been playing guitar in bands since 1976, was just grateful he was able to sing last week. The 62-year-old had been battling laryngitis for nearly three weeks and said he couldn’t even sing the day before Relic took the stage at Summerfest. Roberts, 64, Olsen and Nelson have more than a combined 100 years of performing experience. Roberts starting drumming when he was 11 — the Providence resident is the drummer for The Fender Benders — and has been playing the guitar for the past 10-12 years. Olsen’s passion for the guitar started his senior year at Sky View. Ever since he was a teenager, Olsen, who is also skilled with a harmonica, has virtually jammed out on a guitar every day. The fifth-generation Young Ward native even takes his guitar with him when he’s on the road for his job. “I just never looked back,” said Olsen, who’s love for music started as a youngster when he listened to his grandfather play the accordion. “It’s a part of me. ... It’s who I am.” Nelson, who grew up in Salt Lake County, took piano lessons when he was 8, and music has been a big part of his life ever since. See RELIC on Page 10

All of our vacation time was used driving to eastern historical destinations such as Gettysburg, the Liberty Bell and some lobster shack on the coast of Maine. It is only through traveling that you can comprehend how many people there are and how they seeming like wherever it is that they live no matter how dismal it may seem to you. This is a good thing. It was on such a sumthing around you; things mertime trip to some Eastwere different then. ern destination that we all I grew up in St. Louis, saw a neon sign declaring and for some reason we “LUNCH BEEP.” This never traveled further kept my mom, father and west than Kansas City.

versation or the scenery lagged one of us would shout out “lunch beep!” or “I sure could go for a nice lunch beep right now.” What kind of toothless hillbillies would put up a “lunch beep” sign? This memory slapped me on a drive from St. Louis to Memphis last week. I could have flown, but sometimes you have to see the country from six inches off the ground. Perhaps because of it or in spite of never going west I have become a westerner who gets easily disoriented when driving through the flat lands. Other than the times when the sun is rising or setting, I can’t tell east from west when I’m driving Interstate 55. There are no mountains to orient me. Sure, I have my cheerfully voiced GPS phone to help me out, but I-55 driving is like slipping through a green leafy tunnel on cruise control. Outside the air is thick and it crushes down on you if you leave the climate control of your rental car and the calming voices of your audio books. I probably would not have noticed a “lunch beep” if it splatter on my windshield. It was many years, and I don’t mean just a few, later that it hit me. Oh, the sign really said: “LUNCH BEER,” and the right leg of the “R” had just burned out. It was typical of the era for bars and cafes to save money by just having single words such as eat, beer, lunch or food in all capital letters. None of these could have formed another word just by partially burning out right? It makes a better memory not knowing for sure. ——— Dennis Hinkamp wishes you all great summer vacation memories.

‘Sherlock’ work There’s nothing worse than a play that revolves around a theatrical gimmick when the gimmick doesn’t work. The Lyric Repertory Company’s ongoing production of “Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery” is the exception that proves that rule. It’s a gimmick show ... and the gimmick works like a

narrator. Blankenship’s performance is wryly selfaware, with just a delicious hint of absurdity. But the central characters are cheerfully upstaged at every turn by their co-stars — Lee Daily, Richie Call and Shannon Leigh Peters. It’s no surprise that local favorites Daily and Call can skillfully mine comic gold while rapidly switching in and out of dozens of bizarre characterizations and accents. The wonder is that a Lyric newcomer like Ms. Peters can shine so brightly while sharing the stage with these old pros. “Baskerville” is also a tour de force of technical wizardry.

The “lunch beep” vacation was about 48 summers ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday’s selfie. In the days before all cars had entertainment centers or air conditioning and nobody had a pocket computer, you had to roll down the windows and experience the blunt force of your surroundings. Maybe you played Automobile Bingo. Maybe you sang songs a cappella or along with radio stations that seldom lasted more than 50 miles before fading out. Maybe you just tried to notice every-

In a summer movie season stuffed to the gills with globally epic blockbusters, it’s a nice change of pace to get a movie like “The Shallows” — a laser-focused survival story about a woman, a shark and a seagull. Sometimes small dedicated movies like this one feel even more satisfying because of their simplicity. If the filmmakers are able to do that one thing well, then they don’t run the risk of spreading themselves too thin. Nancy (Blake Lively) is working through some issues. Her mother recently passed away, she’s put her medical school education on hold, and now she’s in Mexico headed to a secretive beach. A beach her mother knew about and the locals know about, but nobody will tell her the beach’s actual name. No matter, it’s paradise. A small bay surrounded by beautiful sand beaches, inlaid with coral reefs, crystal blue water and some gnarly waves. And Nancy surfs. The cleverness of “The Shallows” is that it builds

USU alumni shows begin Utah Theatre naming Utah State University’s Alumni Band opens the summer concert season with its spirited “Strike up the Band” concert at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 26, on the USU Quad. Founded in 1963 by Max F. Dalby, the Alumni Band is made up of more than 300 USU band program alumni who have continued to perform seriously since graduation. Home for the Alumni Band is the band program and Music Department in the Caine College of

the Arts at USU. During the summer, several talented students are invited to perform with the band as well, as are USU Music Department faculty members. Each concert features 45-60 musicians, all of whom donate their services. Personnel changes for each concert, depending on musical needs and schedules of individual band members. “The USU Alumni Band reaches through the ages,” Rebecca Nelson, Alumni Band member, said. “My father, Max

Dalby, began the tradition in the 1960s with USU music educators and others attending. Since then, many who have joined along the way are still coming to play.” This year’s future Alumni Band concerts are July 3, 17, 31 and Aug. 7. In the case of inclement weather, performances move inside from the Quad to the Morgan Theatre in the Chase Fine Arts Center. For more information, call 797-8022 or visit cca.usu.edu.

“THE BEST LITTLE ART SHOW IN UTAH”

rights now available

After nine years, the renovation of the Utah Theatre in downtown Logan is nearly complete. The 1924 building has undergone an $11 million expansion and restoration, and it opened on Thursday night with the musical version of the children’s tale “Peter Pan.” In conjunction with this massive undertaking, the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre has announced seat-naming opportunities. Participants can have their name engraved on a plaque that will be mounted on a seat of their choice forever. Prices range from $300-$500 depending on seat location. There are only 340 seats in the theatre, so availability is limited. The Utah Theatre will be a multipurpose facility. The Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre plans to present movies, organ concerts on the Mighty

Wurlitzer organ and live performances of all sorts from chamber music to theater. In addition, the stage will be used by youth who are studying in UFOMT’s education programs including the Conservatory and Opera by Children. It will be a classroom by day and a theater by night. “The students in this valley deserve to be able to perform in a first-class facility,” says Julie Pitcher, development consultant for Utah Festival. “With the diminishing arts education in our schools this resource becomes increasingly important.” Seats for naming and tickets to “Peter Pan” or any of the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre’s 2016 productions and events are available online at utahfestival.org, by calling 750-0300 ext. 3 or by visiting the UFOMT box office in the Dansante Building at 59 S. 100 West.
