From the editor

S

tanding in front of a director and choreographer while singing “On My Own” from Les Miserables was one of the scariest moments of my life. I was auditioning for a part in the Old Barn production “Oklahoma,” and at the age of 22, it was the first time I’d ever auditioned for anything. I decided to try out for the play with a couple of friends and was hoping for a background ensemble part since I didn’t have any experience in musical theater.

However, as much as I’d like it to be, singing is not one of my strong suits. So, trying to prove I was even worthy to be in a play required a lot of hope. I stood there in front of those women and a few others who were trying out for the show, and I’m sure my quiet voice was shaking.

I dance worse than I sing, so that portion of the audition was a mess, and I think I stumbled over a few lines when reading part of script out loud. I’m definitely not a

triple threat. In fact, I’m not a threat at all.

When all was said and done, I didn’t get a part. And that’s OK. I guess I can say I tried.

I bring all of this up because for the last few weeks we’ve had several stories on local shows and I’m glad there are people in the community that actually can act, dance and sing, so people like me can sit and enjoy it. A few weekends ago I saw Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre’s “Oliver!” which was delightful. I’ve also been wanting to see “Into the Woods” at Old Barn (page 3). Selections from “Little Shop of Horrors” were performed while I was at Summerfest and I liked what I heard, so I may need to venture to the Old Lyric Theatre within the next week or so.

Tonight the Martin Harris Pageant opens in Clarkston (page 8) and a whole crew of people have set up a brand new stage. So, if you’re feeling in the mood for a play the next couple of weeks, you’ll have plenty of options. And for your benefit, I’m not in any of them.

‘Summer of Mozart’ premieres at USU Metropolitan Opera soloists to perform tah State University’s U Caine College of the Arts and Legacy Music Alliance

presents Mozart’s “Grand Mass in C Minor” featuring vocal soloists from the Metropolitan Opera July 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the USU Performance Hall.

“This is music at its finest, comparable to any of the exceptional concerts one may find in New York City, London or any of the great music capitals of the world,” said Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts at USU. The concert features professional-level singers from across the nation performing one of Mozart’s many choral masterworks, “The Grand Mass in C Minor.” The performers include Metropolitan Opera soloists Kiera Duffy and Stanford Olsen, USU’s Cindy Dewey and Snow College’s Steven Meredith. The Minnesota Orchestra’s principal bassoonist, John Miller, will also be featured in a performance of Mozart’s “Concerto in B-flat for Bassoon and Orchestra (K. 191).”

“This performance is the first of what will be an annual series of choral masterpieces presented by the Caine College of the Arts and the USU

American soprano Kiera Duffy will be performing at USU July 30 as part of a Mozart concert, “Grand Mass in C Minor.” Duffy is recognized for both her high soprano and musicianship in repertoire that encompasses Handel, Praetorius, Bach, Mozart and Verdi to the modern sounds of Alban Berg, Elliott Carter and John Zorn.

Summer Music Institute,” said Michael Huff, director of special programs for the Caine College of the Arts.

The concert is one of the culminating events of this year’s USU Summer Music Institute. The annual USU Summer Music Institute offers several enriching musical activities presented by the Caine College of the Arts.

“Under the guidance of Craig Jessop and other leaders from the Caine College of the Arts, the institute is planting seeds

that will yield a rich musical harvest,” said Huff.

American soprano Kiera Duffy is recognized for both her brilliant high soprano and insightful musicianship in repertoire that encompasses Handel, Praetorius, Bach, Mozart and Verdi, to the modern sounds of Alban Berg, Elliott Carter and John Zorn.

Stanford Olsen, who made his Metropolitan Opera debut on an hour’s notice as Arturo in “I Puritani” has fulfilled his initial promise as one of

the world’s outstanding artists. Olsen has performed at the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York and has been featured in Handel’s “Messiah” throughout North America and Europe.

A gifted vocal performer with a tone described as “seamless and superb” by the “Arizona Republic,” Steven Meredith is one of the most sought-after concert performers in the United States.

Recent seasons have found Meredith performing “Mes-

siah” with the Utah Symphony and Mozart’s “Requiem” with the Great Falls Symphony.

Cindy Dewey came to USU from West Virginia University where she was the coordinator of all vocal programs, graduate and undergraduate. Dewey is a frequent recitalist and has been a finalist in a number of national and international competitions. Her students have sung at the Metropolitan Opera, the San Francisco Opera and elsewhere.

John Miller assumed his present position as Principal Bassoon of the Minnesota Orchestra in 1971, when he also joined the faculty of the University of Minnesota.

Since then, he has continued his solo career, performing many times with the Minnesota Orchestra as well as numerous other orchestras.

This Mozart concert is part of Cache Valley’s “Summer of Mozart” with the Old Lyric Repertory Company’s production of “Amadeus” and the Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre’s presentation of Mozart’s “Requiem” and “Don Giovanni” this summer.

The USU Summer Music Institute seeks to enhance the standard of music-making in Cache Valley, at USU and throughout Utah.

Character dancer

T

he best roles are the evil roles. At least that’s what Stephanie White says. The 41-year-old from Logan has been dancing since she was 11 and has played the parts of Malificent (actually titled the Carabosse) in “Sleeping Beauty,” Katschei the Immortal in “Firebird,” the Mouse King in “The Nutcracker,” the Wicked Stepmother in “Cinderella” and many more.

“I love to create a character,” she says. “It’s been all heart with me and putting all of my energy into giving the best performance I can give.”

White has worked as a choreographer with several local theater and ballet companies, and the Cache Children’s Choir, the Sky View Encore group and the American West Heritage Center. What’s her favorite part of being involved in dance? Well, the applause, of course.

“I hate to admit it, but ... I love to watch an audience during a performance and see their reaction,” she says. “I love to see what they get from it and learn from them what didn’t work as well.”

• Growing up White and her dad would listen to opera and musicals and she would dance in the living room. Her mom eventually enrolled her in ballet lessons at Cache Valley School of Ballet.

•White has choreographed dance for Cache Valley Civic Ballet, Music Theatre West, USU Theatre, Old Lyric, Utah Festival Opera, Caine College of the Arts, Unicorn Theatre, and Cache Regional Theatre.

• White has lived in New Zealand, Ireland, and England, and traveled extensively in Europe and the U.S. • “Everywhere we went, my mother took us to the museums, my dad took us to the cheese factories, and we would also catch the ballet, opera, theater, or symphony.”

• White has been teaching ballet at Cache Valley School of Ballet for more than 20 years and musical theater movement and a boys class for Utah Festival Conservatory of the Performing Arts.

• For White, it’s impossible to pick one style of dance as her favorite. She says she loves tap, flamenco, classical ballet as well as modern and international dance.

• “I just love to be on the stage. And you can tell when a performer is really feeling it versus going through the motions. That’s what makes the performance, not the technique or execution, but whether or not the artist can convey to the audience.”

• Music is what gives White the inspiration to dance.

• “Some choreographers can read the score and figure out what they want. Some choreographers don’t even have music. But, I love finding just the right movement to match the intricate workings of the composer/lyricist.”

Billiards legend coming to Nibley ike Massey, holder of numerous billiard M trick shot world records, will be appearing at the grand opening celebration of Cache Valley’s newest entertainment destination, “Legends Billiard Club,” on Saturday, July 30. The club is located on Highway 89/91 in Nibley just opposite Petersen’s Country Store. Owner Allan Cornia, himself an accomplished tournament billiard player, arranged for Massey’s appearance when he learned that Massey would be in Utah briefly before leaving for tournaments in Las Vegas and Spain.

“Mike is a legend in the world of billiards and we’re Legends Billiard Club, so bringing him in for our grand opening was a no-brainer,” said Cornia. “I’m a performing member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, but what Mike does on the pool table seems even to me like real magic.”

Massey will be demonstrating his skills, educating and entertaining those in attendance from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. on Saturday. A country band will be available later for those wishing to break in the club’s unique sprung dance floor or just enjoy the music. There will be a $5 cover charge to defray to cost of this event.

Mike Massey, also known as the “Tennessee Tarzan”, is widely considered to be the world’s best trick shot artist and was inducted into the prestigious Billiard Congress of America’s Hall of Fame in 2005. He is the five-time ESPN Trick Shot Magic Champion and has performed trick shot exhibitions in more than 40 countries.

Massey has won professional tournaments worldwide in a variety of formats including trick shots, 8-ball, 9-ball, and straight pool. He shares his skills and knowledge with others as an instructor and author. Mike had the honor of being chosen to perform an exhibition for the dinner show when Willie Mosconi and Jimmy Caras played their last challenge match, hosted by the Birkbeck twins and has played or taught pool with many movie stars and sports celebrities, such as Johnny Cash, Sugar Ray Leonard, Billy Bob Thornton, Dean Cain, Stephen Baldwin, Scott Baio, Jennifer Tilly, James Tolkan, Paul Sorvino, Jason Gedrick, Danny Aiello, David Arquette, and many others.

Film “Captain America: The First Avenger” Rated PG-13 ★★1⁄2 The last Marvel Comics setup for next summer’s all-star blockbuster “The Avengers” finds Chris Evans starring as the World War II fighting hero. Evans brings an earnest dignity and intelligence to the role of Steve Rogers, a scrawny kid from Brooklyn with dreams of military glory. But scientist Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) sees something special in him and enlists him for a daring experiment. Through some hightech injections, Steve is transformed into a supersoldier known as Captain America. But he isn’t the only one who’s juicing: Hugo Weaving plays the former Nazi leader Johann Schmidt, aka Red Skull, who’s formed his own splinter group and built some intimidating weapons. Director Joe Johnston’s film feels weighty and substantial, even in 3-D, and it has a beautiful, sepia-toned, artdeco look about it. The abundant supporting cast includes Tommy Lee Jones and Dominic Cooper.

But “Captain America” is far more engaging when it’s about a scrappy underdog overcoming the odds than it is about generic shootouts and exploding tanks.

And it only scratches the surface in trying to examine the perils of premature fame. 126 minutes.

“Friends with Benefits” Rated R ★★1⁄2 Director and co-writer Will Gluck (“Easy A”) has crafted a hyper, R-rated, postmodern romcom that laments the genre’s saccharine falsehoods while ultimately falling prey to the clichés it strives to upend. The dialogue is snappy and the plot makes efforts for emotional realism, but the story is a familiar one: romantically exhausted friends (Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis) try to forge a sexual relationship without emotion. They have terrific comedic timing and look great in bed together, but don’t have enough friction for real chemistry. Woody Harrelson, Patricia Clarkson and Richard Jenkins lead a strong supporting cast, but Gluck’s film is too smooth for the realism and mockery it seeks. Its best parody comes in a film within the film, a mock rom-com with Jason Segel and Rashida Jones.

acters behave in unbelievable ways and say just the right poignant things at just the right times, while supporting players are relegated to one-note roles that are straight out of a sitcom. But the main problem is that Hanks is as bland as the film’s title. Larry Crowne undergoes a major life change when he finds himself downsized out of his job at a behemoth superstore; middleaged and divorced, he decides it’s finally time to go to college.

But there’s not much momentum, and it’s hard to get a handle on who he is beyond his generically pleasant demeanor, so his transformation lacks the punch it should have had by comparison.

Roberts co-stars as the professor who becomes Larry’s unlikely love interest, while Gugu MbathaRaw plays the impossibly gorgeous fellow student who gives him a makeover. 98 minutes.

New this week “Crazy Stupid Love” Rated PG-13 ★★ For a movie that intends to be rooted in a recognizable and insightful reality, this features an awful lot of moments that clang in a contrived, feel-good manner. You see, it’s simultaneously trying to charm us, and sometimes, it achieves that goal. At the same time, it also has its share of moments that hit just the perfect, poignant note, with some laughs that arise from a place of honesty. Carell stars as Cal, a nebbishy 40-something whose high-school sweetheart, Emily (Julianne Moore), announces that she’s slept with someone else and wants a Easily superior to and far smarter than the earlier released “No Strings Attached.” 104 minutes.

“Horrible Bosses” Rated R ★★★This raunchy buddy comedy wallows in silliness — gleefully, and without an ounce of remorse or self-consciousness — and even though you’re a grown-up and you know you should know better, you will be happy to wallow right along as well. It’s a film that’s wildly, brazenly stupid — but also, you know, fun. Because like “Bad Teacher,” “Horrible Bosses” knows exactly what it is and doesn’t aspire to be anything more, and that lack of pretention is refreshing. It isn’t trying to say anything profound about society

divorce. Drowning his sorrows nightly at a local bar, Cal finds an unlikely mentor in Jacob (Ryan Gosling), an expensively-dressed womanizer who gives him a makeover. It seems unlikely Jacob would even give this guy the time of day in real life, but Gosling is charismatic and surprisingly funny in the role. He also has a great, flirty chemistry with Emma Stone as the one woman who sees through his game.

When you assemble a cast that includes Carell, Moore, Gosling and Stone, you’re on the right track. “Crazy Stupid Love” aims to be a romantic comedy of substance and intelligence and sometimes, it achieves that goal, too. What’s frustrating here, however, is the unevenness of it all. 118 minutes.

Jennifer Aniston, as the titular or the economy or the fragile bosses, are clearly enjoying the psyche of the post-modern man. freedom of playing such showy, It’s about three guys who hate inappropriate characters. 98 their jobs and want to kill their minutes. bosses. And really, who among us hasn’t pondered such a plan?

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” Rated PG-13 ★1⁄2 Director Michael Bay serves up another loud, long, bruising and wearisome onslaught of giant, shape-shifting robots. Bay tries to inject more flesh-andblood consequence this time, but the human element arises largely from archival footage involving the 1960s moon race, along with images that may disturb younger kids as screaming, scrambling humans are vaporized by the ‘bots like insects in a bug zapper. In 3-D, too, so you get to wear those clunky glasses for the franchise’s longest movie yet. Puny humans Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro and Tyrese Gibson again are caught up in the war between benevolent Autobots and evil Decepticons, joined by new cast members Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich and Patrick Dempsey. Leonard Nimoy provides the voice of an Autobot elder, his age-old, gravelly vocals proving the most human element in the movie. The visuals are dazzling, but Bay lets the battles grind on so long that the motion and noise turns numbing.

— Reviews by The Associated Press

By David Germain The Associated Press

he genre mashT up of “Cowboys & Aliens” is more a mush-

up, an action yarn aiming to be both science fiction and Old West adventure but doing neither all that well.

The filmmakers — and there are a lot of them, among them director Jon Favreau, 11 producers or executive producers including Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, plus half a dozen credited writers — start with a title that lays out a simple but cool premise: invaders from the skies shooting it out with guys on horseback.

For all the talent involved, they wound up keeping the story too simple, almost simpleminded, leaving a terrific cast led by Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford stuck in a sketchy, sometimes poky tale where you get cowboys occasionally fighting aliens and not much more.

Based on a graphic novel from Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, also a producer on the movie, “Cowboys & Aliens” has Craig doing the stonyfaced lone rider thing to such stoic extremes it borders on blandness.

Ford is similarly constricted in a stereotyped role as the tyrannical overlord of a Western town, though his unfailing charisma does imbue some spirit into his under-developed character.

Really, the only clever thing about “Cowboys & Aliens” is the basic idea itself. The Western trappings are mostly dull, the aliens and sci-fi elements are unimaginative, and

cramming them together is not enough to make them interesting.

As the story opens in 1875, Craig’s amnesiac Jake Lonergan wanders into the dusty New Mexico town of Absolution with no clue to his identity and bearing a strange metal bracelet on his wrist. Within minutes, he begins running afoul of the town’s leaders, crossing the cowardly son (Paul Dano) of local cattle baron Woodrow Dolarhyde (Ford), then tussling with the sheriff (Keith Carradine) and his deputies.

Just as it looks as though we’re in for a showdown among a band of greedy thugs and decent townfolk in need of a hero, space craft swoop in and start snatching people right off the streets. Six-shooters are like firing blanks at the speedy ships, but Jake’s wristband comes to life, and he gradually learns how to use it as a weapon to fight back against what the villagers initially assume are demons.

Dolarhyde leads Jake and a posse in pursuit of the creatures, accompanied by the mysterious gun-toting Ella (Olivia Wilde), who knows more about these beings than she lets on.

Director Favreau slipped from fresh and flamboyant on “Iron Man” to lame and listless on its sequel, and there’s more of the latter on “Cowboys & Aliens.”

The posse creeps along through close encounters with outlaws and Apaches and has more abduction run-ins with the aliens.

Yet other than seeing the two blended together,

‘Cowboys & Aliens’ don’t mesh well

In this publicity image released by Universal Pictures, Harrison Ford, left, and Daniel Craig are shown in a scene from “Cowboys & Aliens.”

there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done far better in many Westerns and science-fiction flicks.

The aliens are anonymous monsters, and the human folk are mostly cardboard types like those you’ll find in any old Western.

The action plays out against grand, gorgeous landscapes captured by cinematographer Matthew Libatique, while the visual effects are standard stuff, save for one very impressive explosion.

As a jittery saloon owner, Sam Rockwell gets to toss out a few funny lines, and Adam Beach manages a few moments of pathos as Dolarhyde’s main hand.

As the sheriff’s young grandson, Noah Ringer is there to broaden the movie’s kid appeal but doesn’t really add to the story.

Though Ford is push-

Jeppesen said for the first years of the pageant, the whole town of Clarkston essentially closed down for three weeks, as the town’s residents made and washed costumes, put up the scenery, made food for hungry travelers and took tickets on each of the 12 nights the pageant is performed.

Now, Jeppesen said the workload is spread out among 10 different stakes throughout Cache Valley to alleviate the stress on Clarkston alone, although the town is still very involved in the production. Four years ago, the LDS pageant committee made the decision to hold the pageant every other year in order to further reduce Clarkston’s risk of being overwhelmed by the previously annual event.

Even with the move to every other year, the pageant still draws families, youth groups and individuals from Utah County, Twin Falls, Rexburg, and even a couple from Scandinavia one year, Jeppesen said.

you may still pull out the herbicide but feel a little respect for the plants you’re zapping.

Mabey, one of Britain’s most respected nature writers, loses no time launching into praise for the plants that seemingly flourish everywhere, even managing to sneak into the tidiest of gardens unless the owner practices constant vigilance.

He discovered his fascination with weeds in his 20s, when he was working in an outer section of London that presented “wildness in the city.”

In this stretch of urban wasteland, slowly building into an industrial stronghold, Mabey discovered weeds galore, including immigrants from three continents.

In sharing his amazement with the plants that “become weeds when they obstruct our plans, or our tidy maps of the world,” he writes that they can be “botanical thugs” that destroy everything they cover, but can also be great restorers.

After World War II, bomb sites in England became so covered with plants that many

But his admiration for the ability of weeds to survive natural disasters, human destruction, climate change and almost every eradication effort

ever launched against them is the main reason to read this fascinating book — that and the lessons that these unloved plants may have for humans as they face an uncertain future.

people claimed the Germans had dropped those seeds as well as bombs. The plant Rosebay Willowherb was called “bombweed” by residents because of its rapid colonization of bomb craters.

A weed invasion took place in London, with bracken carpeting the nave of St. James and thorn apples growing in the cellars of Cheapside.

One observer counted 126 species in what Mabey calls a weed storm.

Author provides a realistic view of adventurer

By Douglass K. Daniel The Associated Press

hose with a soft T spot for adventuresome romantics will find it difficult not to be beguiled by young Everett Ruess after reading David Roberts’ noteworthy book.

A thorough biographer and determined detective, Roberts also explores the reasons that people remain

intrigued by the ill-fated artist who disappeared nearly eight decades ago — a mystery that Roberts convincingly unravels in the final section of “Finding Everett Ruess.”

Ruess was just 20 when he vanished in 1934 while on one of his wanderings in the red rock country of Utah. He had undertaken a handful of such journeys since he was 16, accompa-

nied only by pack animals.

He sent a steady stream of letters to his parents and brother in Los Angeles as well as to friends. He wrote of his love of nature, his desire for solitude and his struggle to develop deep friendships while feeling apart from others.

“God, how the trail lures me,” he wrote to his brother, Waldo, in 1932.

“I’ll never stop wandering.

And when the time comes to die, I’ll find the wildest, loneliest, most desolate spot there is.”

Over the years the mystery gained Ruess a cult following and imbued his writings and artwork with a certain aura. It’s similar to the taken-tooyoung quality that keeps actor James Dean a figure of fascination and turns another wanderer, Chris

McCandless of “Into the Wild” notoriety, into a subject of interest.

“Finding Everett Ruess” contends that the young vagabond may have been a John Muir in the making.

Indeed, Ruess’ writings matured with time and experience, and he showed potential to join Muir and other adventurers who became advocates of preserving wild places.
