FROM THE EDITOR

C

lasses at Utah State University begin Monday. Without me.

I graduated from USU a couple years ago and I still get nostalgic for my school days.

I miss getting lost in a thick textbook, purchasing new notebooks and walking around campus.

I miss finals and graded assignments.

My memories of USU begin long before I was a college student. When I was 9, I started taking piano lessons from a professor there and participated in the Youth

Conservatory, a program you can read about on page 5. I took theory classes and performed in the Monster Concert.

There is always something going on at USU, and there is no shortage of events in the coming days. There are speakers and concerts.

This week’s Cache features an exhibit at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. The show — “Bang!

Thwack! Plop! %#$&!!! Comics: An Influence on Contemporary Art” — takes a look at the connection between comics and art.

Aside from having a cool name, the exhibit addresses how comics can be funny and serious. For someone like

me, whose most common association with comics is the music video for A-Ha’s “Take On Me,” the exhibit is worth a visit.

There are other events going on, too. Logan Youth Shakespeare is performing tonight and Saturday (page 4). “Guys and Dolls” is still showing in Brigham (page 5) and there are new movies to see (page 6).

Certified hypnotist Daniel Geddes will be at Logan Arthouse this weekend (page 3) and he will be joining Logan Out Loud, the local improv group featured in the magazine last week, for a show.

— Arie Kirk

Daniel T. Geddes is a national certified hypnotist who loves to entertain and make people laugh and, more importantly, help them understand and believe in the powers of hypnosis.

Under his stage name Abracadan, he performs safe, fun, and hilarious acts of hypnosis for the public.

Branching off from being a professional magician for more than 15 years, he got into hypnosis wanting a different kind of entertainment. A kind that didn’t carry a lot of secrets but was just as mysterious. He loves the reaction and making people laugh.

He also practices clinical hypnosis here in Logan with fellow hypnotist Rick Dial who is also nationally certified.

Geddes has helped all kinds of people with all kinds of different emotional blocks. Geddes loves all kinds of hypnosis. His mission is to dispel the misconceptions that the media has implicated and show that hypnosis is safe, fun and, that if used properly and professionally, a powerful tool that can empower people to make there life positive and happy. Hypnosis is a positive tool and he intends to use it as such, making audiences everywhere laugh and feel good about themselves,

“Comic books can really capture narrative in a different way. Sometimes art has a hard time with that.”

– Deborah Banerjee Page 8

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption because with comedy hypnosis shows, those who volunteer are the stars of the show! He is their suggestible guide through the show.

Geddes has a show Saturday at Logan Arthouse, 795 N. Main St., Logan. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5.

This is a superhero themed show

so you can wear garb supporting your favorite superhero. Also, Abracadan will join with Logan Out Loud, where comedy improv and hypnosis combine forces for a show.

Shows are $5 each or $8 if you attend Geddes’ show and his act with Logan Out Loud. Logan Out Loud starts at 9 p.m.

Seeking a spicier beat — and city — Rose moved to New Orleans in 1984 and for the next two decades was the “Times-Picayune” newspaper’s most popular local columnist, covering social, cultural and political trends and personalities.

Then, hurricane Katrina changed everything.

In the fall of 2005, Rose bunked down in the drowned city during the storm’s horrific aftermath, spending the next several years covering the crisis and the slow, difficult rebirth of the city. For his coverage, he received a

Pulitzer Prize as part of his newspaper’s award for Public Service. Rose himself was a finalist in the Distinguished Commentary category, losing out to Nicolas Kristof of The New York Times and his committed coverage of the savage conditions of life in the Sudan. On the second anniversary of the storm and its attendant levee failures, Simon & Schuster published a collection of Rose’s stories from that period titled “1 Dead in Attic,” a deeply personal, dark, surreal — and at times hilarious — recounting of his days played out in a post-Apocalyptic nightmare.

Go back in time with the Celebrate America show Once each year the ballroom at Utah State University is transformed into a supper club reminiscent of the 1930s and ’40s, capturing the sound and style of the Big Band era, when the Celebrate America Show Corporation presents, “In The Miller Mood.”

This year the Chattanooga Choo Choo takes the audience back in time to the glamorous Hotel Pennsylvania (the hotel Glenn Miller immortalized with his hit tune Pennsylvania 6-5000) for a live radio broadcast of the “Brylcreem Big Band Show.”

The evening features the Stardust Singers, Stardust Dancers and the Larry Smith Orchestra in stunning production numbers including Paper Doll, Pennsylvannia 6-5000, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Night and Day, Chicago, Orange Colored Sky and many more tunes that showcase the era when all America loved, listened and danced to big band music — music that played a major role in lifting morale during World War

II. After dinner and the show, entertainment continues by inviting the audience to dance the night away (or just enjoy listening) as the orchestra and singers perform hit tunes from Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and other great bands of the era including Tuxedo Junction, In The Mood, Moonglow, Sing Sing Sing, I’ve Got A Gal in Kalamazoo and many more.

Show dates are Sept. 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Tickets available with or without dinner. Dinner shows are Sept. 8, 9 and 10. All shows (except Tuesday) include entertainment after the show with dancing.

The show is in the Utah State University Ballroom. Tickets are available at www.celebrateamericashow.com or call Macey’s Foods 435-753-3301, ext. 0.

Group rates are available for the Tuesday and Wednesday shows.

Set in mythical New York City, “Guys and Dolls” introduces us to colorful characters who have become legends in the musical theater canon.

Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight “mission doll;” Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, a nightclub performer whose chronic flu is brought on by the fact she’s been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiance, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating dice game.

“Guys and Dolls” is performed Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30

p.m. from Aug. 19 to Sept.

3. Matinees will be performed Aug. 27 and Sept.

3 at 2 p.m. Cost is $9 for adults and $8 for children and seniors. Heritage The-

atre is located at 2505 So. Hwy 89 in Perry. Call for reservations Monday and Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 435-723-8392. The show will be directed by Ross Reeder.

Since the show revolves around The Salvation Army, the Heritage Theatre has teamed up with the local Salvation Army organization to assist in their fundraising campaign. Donation boxes will be available at the theater before and after each show and all proceeds collected at those boxes will be sent to the Salvation Army.

piano study at USU coming up

The second of two open house registration sessions for Utah State University’s Youth Conservatory is approaching. The Youth Conservatory is the Department of Music’s long-running piano study program for young musicians.

The second open house registration is Tuesday, Aug. 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the courtyard area at the entry of the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s campus. In case of inclement weather, registration will be in the foyer of the Kent Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center located on the southwest corner of 700 N. 1200 East in Logan.

Fall semester classes at the YC begin Tuesday, Sept. 6.

New classes have been added this fall including Composition and Improvisation, AP Music Theory prep course for high school students and a weekly Performance Techniques course cotaught by Professor Gary Amano and Dennis Hirst.

The Youth Conservatory offers private piano lessons and group musicianship classes for children and young people ages 3-18.

Students of all stages of musical development are welcome. There are a variety of instructional options available to YC students.

Lessons and classes are at the Chase Fine Arts Center at USU and the Youth Conservatory provides parking passes for parents in the lot west of the building after 3 p.m. on lesson and class days.

Nationally known composer, author and educator Kevin Olson was recently named director of the YC. He encourages anyone to attend the open house registration, including those who are only seeking information.

“The registration events are opportunities to find out more about our program,” said Olson. “There’s no obligation and we’re happy to answer any questions.”

Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the registration session to facilitate matching students to teachers.

Additional information about the Youth Conservatory is available online at usu.edu/ycpiano or by calling 435797-3018.

movies A brawny B-action picture with a gorgeous, graceful woman wreaking havoc at its center: Yup, this is a Luc Besson movie. The director of "La Femme Nikita" and "The Fifth Element" serves as co-writer and producer here, but this is very much a spinoff of his brand, a continuation of the kind of stereotype- and gravity-defying characters he's made his name on. "Colombiana" feels more hammy and muscular, though — but knowingly so, and that's what makes it solid, late-summer escapist fun. Zoe Saldana stars as Cataleya, who saw her parents killed in front of her when she was a 9-year-old schoolgirl

living in the slums of Bogota. Fifteen years later, with the help of her Uncle Emilio (Cliff Curtis), she's transformed herself into a highly efficient professional assassin in the United States, but she still seeks revenge against her parents' killers. Over-the-top bad guys spew generically menacing lines and hot women parade around in bikinis and lingerie: It's all big and silly. But Saldana manages to earn our sympathy, as the script (which Besson wrote with frequent collaborator Robert Mark Kamen) allows her to convey a surprising amount of emotion and inner conflict. 108 minutes.

Still playing Maybe it was all more resonant, more poignant on the page: the many highs and lows and major life shifts that occur during the decades-spanning friendship/romance between Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess). But here they feel so cursory and rushed, it’s as if we’re watching a filmed version of the CliffsNotes of David Nicholls’ best-seller. The central conceit is this: Em and Dex meet after a long night of post-college graduation partying July 15, 1988. “One Day” keeps coming back to that one day, year after year, and checks in with them as they date other people, forge careers, share awkward dinners and basically wait around until the inevitable July 15 when they’ll be together. Big, weighty moments are thrust before us — and these should be serious hanky moments — but since the emotional groundwork hasn’t been

laid for them, we’re not moved. We’re just not there yet. Emma and Dexter feel more like ideas, types, rather than fleshedout characters, so the supporting players who supposedly play crucial roles for them barely register either. It’s a handsome misfire, though. And it’s all the more curious coming from Danish director Lone Scherfig, whose last film was the excellent “An Education” (2009), which was nominated for three Academy Awards including best picture. 104 minutes.

★ ‘One Day’

Director // Lone Scherfig Starring // Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess Rated // PG-13 for sexual content, partial nudity, language, some violence and substance abuse

Reviews by The Associated Press

★★ ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’

Director // Troy Nixey Starring // Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison Rated // R for violence and terror Size shouldn't matter when it comes to scary creatures.

After all, plenty of people are terrified of rats and spiders.

Yet savage and ugly as the tiny monsters are in this remake of a 1973 TV horror movie, they're not as frightening as the filmmakers would have you believe. These wee beasties are not all that interesting, either, and frankly, neither is the movie.

With the girl at the heart of the tale and del Toro's name the big selling point, the Blue filmmakers want you thinking of the movie as a cousin to Rated // PG-13 for violence, disturbing images, intense sequences of action, sexuality and brief strong his masterful "Pan's Labyrinth.” This is an awfully tame cousin, though, the creatures uninvolving and their antics language more irritating than petrifying. 100 minutes.

‘Colombiana’

The Reel Place

By Aaron Peck

I saw “Our Idiot Brother” at Sundance this year, only it was called “My Idiot Brother” then.

It doesn’t matter though, because it’s still the same hilarious movie about an optimistically naïve man named Ned (Paul Rudd) who gets himself into trouble because he’s just way too trusting.

Well, there’s really nothing wrong with the way he acts, it’s his vindictive pessimistic sisters and world full of cynics that gets him down. Ned takes people at their word, which wouldn’t be a bad thing if he didn’t find himself dealing with dishonest people.

The movie opens on Ned selling his goods at a local farmers market.

He’s as “granola” as they come. He’s an easy-going soul that just wants to be happy and have fun.

When a man approaches him asking for some of the other stuff, Ned hesitates at first. He knows

the guy wants some marijuana but he’s got to make sure the guy is legit. Being the trusting person Ned is, he hands

over some marijuana and is then promptly arrested by the undercover police officer he just handed it to. Off to jail Ned goes,

but his rosy life outlook doesn’t stop there. He’s still hopelessly lost in ignorant bliss. Thinking that people are just as trusting and nice as he is. He soon finds that his girlfriend has moved in with someone else so he’s sent packing.

Ned has three sisters Miranda (Elizabeth Banks), Liz (Emily Mortimer), and Natalie (Zooey Deschanel) and

Still playing

★ ‘Conan the Barbarian’

Director // Marcus Nispel Starring // Jason Momoa, Ron Perlman and Rose McGowan Rated // R for strong bloody violence, some sexuality and nudity No one ever turns into a giant snake.

That, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with this remake: The knowing sense of big, ridiculous fun that marked the 1982 original is gone, and in its place we get a self-serious series of generic sword

they all have one thing in common, they think Ned is a screw up of epic proportions. Like a child that needs to be taken care of.

They view his optimism as a weakness as they bring backbiting and gossiping to new levels.

Ned takes his turn living with each sister, every time his naïve optimism getting in the way of people’s personal lives.

Ned just tells it like it is

Action! battles and expository conversations.

Fight, talk, fight, talk, fight, talk, then an enormous throw-down followed by a denouement that dangles the possibility of a sequel (dear God, no) — that's the basic structure here. And yet, despite seeming so simplistic, director Marcus Nispel's film is mind-numbingly convoluted. The fact that it's been converted to a murky, smudgy, barely used 3-D doesn't help matters. While the original "Conan" — the movie that signaled the arrival of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a bona fide movie star — looks extremely dated nearly 30 years later, it still functions just fine as both an epic adventure tale and an admitted guilty pleasure. 102 minutes.

and if he sees something happening (even if it’s bad or shouldn’t be shared) he lets everyone know, thinking, that like him, they’ll all just take it in stride.

“Our Idiot Brother” features another wonderfully nuanced performance from funny man Paul Rudd who’s sort of taken Hollywood by storm the past few years.

He’s shown that he has more than enough ability to carry a movie as the comedic lead. He’s genuinely funny here and makes “Our Idiot Brother” the treat that it is. He’s the reason why you’ll want to go see this movie. Sure, the sisters are each played by some big names, but Paul Rudd brings an everyman quality to Ned that doesn’t exist in many actors out there. Rudd is perfect for this role and you’ll find yourself thinking the same thing when you see it.

USU exhibit highlights the relationship between art and comics

ith the release of so many movies based on comic book characters lately, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art couldn’t have timed it better when the decision was made to open an exhibit showing how art and comics are intertwined.

The exhibit is currently open and has been since June in the museum on the campus of Utah State University. However, a formal opening is at the end of October.

“It’s true, we couldn’t have timed this better,” said Deborah Banerjee, the curator of exhibition and programs at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. “We’ve been planing this for a while. There is a huge

renaissance, even in advertising. The comic style so popular.

People like to see it drawn, somebody made it, it’s not mass produced in a way. All the movies sort of hit a nerve with people.”

While the current exhibition, which comes from a permanent collection the museum has and is not a traveling set of pieces, has a background in comics, don’t expect to see a bunch of comics on display.

“Some people will be disappointed that they won’t see actual comics, but at least they have this,” said Banerjee, who showed off a large, hardbound book that goes over the history of DC Comics, which is part of the exhibit. “It’s really fascinating to see how it started out

playfully, something everyone can understand into the contemporary work, which is much more involved and very comprehensive. It has developed and become its own field.”

Comics reflect a variety of ideas and messages. The same can be said about many pieces of art.

Banerjee explained how comics have changed tremendously: “It’s really interesting to look at the early ones and how elegant they were. World War II really was a turning point. They become much more gritty and interested in a realism.”

The exhibit at the museum is titled: “Bang! Thwack! Plop! %#$&!!! Comics: An Influence on Contemporary Art.” The exhibition looks at how

artists have used what seems to be humorous images to address deeper political or social issues reflected through comic-like art.

“The theme of the whole show is how these two fields are blending together,” Banerjee said. “How comics are becoming more like art by creating more serious subject matter and also production has become more developed and artists are making their own small productions” Some of the artists featured in the exhibition include: Trenton Doyle Hancock, Enrique Chagoya, H.C. Westermann, Hop Sakwa, Ben Talbort, Joe Clower, Jeffery Vallance, Irving Norman, Clay Sphon, Sush Machida Gaikotsu and Masami

Teraoka.

The curator started by grouping the potential pieces together and literally saw scenes emerge.

She then broke them down into subsets.

“The show is not art from comics, but how artists have used comics and comic styles in their own art work,” Banerjee said. “I started finding a lot.

It’s interesting how many artists were looking at comics and reading comics and thinking about them on a more deeper level than most people experience comics. Comics often take on very serious subjects. They tend to be an entertainment media, but embrace more serious subjects. The art work does See COMICS on page 13

“The theme of the whole show is how these two fields are blending together,” Banerjee said. “How comics are becoming more like art by creating more serious subject matter and also production has become more developed and artists are making their own small productions” Some of the artists featured in the exhibition include: Trenton Doyle Hancock, Enrique Chagoya, H.C. Westermann, Hop Sakwa, Ben Talbort, Joe Clower, Jeffery Vallance, Irving Norman, Clay Sphon, Sush Machida Gaikotsu and Masami

Teraoka.

The curator started by grouping the potential pieces together and literally saw scenes emerge.

She then broke them down into subsets.

“The show is not art from comics, but how artists have used comics and comic styles in their own art work,” Banerjee said. “I started finding a lot.

It’s interesting how many artists were looking at comics and reading comics and thinking about them on a more deeper level than most people experience comics. Comics often take on very serious subjects. They tend to be an entertainment media, but embrace more serious subjects. The art work does See COMICS on page 13

Nashville Tribute Band performing at USU Drawing large, enthusiastic crowds throughout the Western states with the release of their new CD “The Work: A Nashville Tribute to the Missionaries,” the Nashville Tribute Band announced it will extend their concert tour and perform Sept. 9 at Utah State University’s Kent Concert Hall.

The announcement comes in response to the packed concert venues the band has performed at since the premier of “The Work” on Aug. 4 at the Sandy Amphitheater in Sandy, Utah. The concert at USU’s Kent Concert Hall, 4030 Old Main Hill, will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $11 for adults, $9 for students and $9.50 for groups, and can be purchased by going to the NTB website: www.nashvilletributeband. com.

Jeremy Barron, director of artist management and event productions for R Legacy Entertainment, distributor of “The Work,” said in all of his years of music promotion nationally and internationally, “I’ve never seen anything sell so well. The shows have been well-attended and wellreceived. By popular demand,

we’re extending NTB’s concert tour so students at Utah State University and music fans throughout Cache County can experience this incredible sound.”

Lead singer and songwriter Jason Deere has made a career out of writing hit songs and developing hit artists. His

song, “Love’s Lookin’ Good on You,” co-written with Matt Lopez of Due West for Lady Antebellum, went platinum. He’s also penned memorable tunes for Little Big Town, Leann Rimes, Jessica Simpson, Jim Brickman, SHeDAISY, Be Be Winans, Natalie Grant, Point of Grace,

player for Diamond Rio; Emmy-nominated guitarist/ composer Ron Saltmarsh; Katherine Nelson, known for her starring role as Emma in the film “Emma Smith: My Story,” as well as the hot country trio Due West.

NTB’s latest musical compilation completes a trilogy of CDs dedicated to significant moments in the LDS church’s past — from its beginnings to the epic handcart pioneer exodus to Salt Lake. “The Work: A Nashville Tribute to the Missionaries” brings to light the decades-old practice of men and women traveling around the globe to share the message of the church’s doctrine as missionaries.

Of his latest CD, Deere said, “I want the world to know what a culture of sending missionaries out into the world, two by two, means to us as a people.

The Towne Singers take pride in their ability to sing all types of music and in a wide variety of styles. The group’s musical repertoire includes classical, popular, Broadway, spirituals, gospel, folk and patriotic. The choir performs two or three major concerts each year. In addition they perform twice a year at the valley nursing homes.

The Towne Singers invite community members who are interested to join their choir. They are especially looking for tenors and basses.

The choir practices each Wednes-

day night from 7:30 to 9 at the Dasante building at 59 S. 100 West, Logan.

The first rehearsal for this fall begins Sept. 7.

Your Stuff “Bill”

By Shanna C. Hugie Sometimes, on occasion Someone passes through our world Leaving bits of wisdom As they write their rhyming pearls.

“Bill” has written many There’s no subject left behind And, for those who know him He has wisdom of the mind.

If you have a puzzle He can follow every lead A card carrying detective Solving people’s mysteries.

He served in World War II A veteran of our land.

He visited the islands As a military man.

He might just be a legend.

He has worn so many hats.

If you could learn from him You would know some this n’ that.

He has lived a year or two He likes people who don’t judge If you have trouble just deciding He’ll give you a wee nudge.

He has lived a life Of intrigue and mystery He knows of many subjects To reach your destiny.

An independent spirit He doesn’t sit and wait For someone else to lift his load He will never hesitate.

So ... just look in the paper To read his prose and rhyme You’ll get to know Cache Valley’s “Bill” As you read what’s in his mind. (subject matter from a friend of “Bill”)

“Stranger”

By Prabhu Mohapatra I met you only yesterday I can hardly believe you are So close to my heart now that I can’t live without you today.

Strangers become friends And friends become strangers.

Life is so wonderful.

It teaches a lesson every day.

Books Biography of playwright captures conflicted longings

By Ann Levin For The Associated Press

Wherever Wendy Wasserstein went, women came up to her and wanted to talk about her struggles to find a meaningful balance of work, love and family — all the while being thin.

In plays like the Pulitzerand Tony-winning “The Heidi Chronicles” and her autobiographical essays, Wasserstein unerringly tapped into the innermost yearnings of baby boomer women. She created a persona so warm and endearing — the Yiddish word is “haimish” — that strangers thought of her as a sister, daughter or friend.

Now, in the first major

biography of the playwright since she died of cancer in 2006 at age 55, veteran journalist Julie Salamon presents

a thorough and engaging account of a complex, driven woman who was a fiercely loyal friend yet manipulative and selfish; seemed like an open book but hid her deepest sorrows; satirized the nouveau riche but relished the perks of success.

Salamon begins in Brooklyn, where Wasserstein grew up, the youngest of five children of upwardly striving immigrant Jews. Her mother was a key figure, needling the chubby girl incessantly about her weight and other perceived shortcomings, yet shamelessly bragging about her children’s accomplishments and teaching them, by example, to bury the things that caused pain or shame.

pulled back into the past — to what happened long ago in those dark woods.

Each of them, it turns out, has a different memory of it.

But it’s not just because childhood memories warp over time. It’s because each of the old friends, and their parents as well, never knew more than a small part of the story. And what each of them knew was a

different part.

“The Most Dangerous Thing” is Laura Lippman’s seventh stand-alone novel, although fans of her popular private eye series will be pleased to know that its hero, Tess Monaghan, makes a cameo appearance. The stand-alones, including “I’d Know You Anywhere” (2010) and “What the Dead Know” (2007), have been widely praised not only as mysteries but also as literature — a body of work that places her in the company of Thomas H. Cook and Dennis Lehane as one of our finest literary crime novelists. “The Most Dangerous Thing” doesn’t quite measure up to the earlier stand-alones.

The first third drags a bit, and story doesn’t pack quite as much emotional punch. But it is nevertheless a fine and ambitious novel that explores how much parents don’t know about the lives of their children, and how little children know about their parents.

Lippman’s new novel drags a bit Bruce DeSilva For The Associated Press

In 1979, two girls and three boys on the brink of adolescence spent an idyllic summer exploring heavily wooded Leakin Park on the outskirts of Baltimore. But one day, something happened there that none of them wanted to talk about.

The friends drifted apart.

Decades passed.

But now one of those old friends, Gordon “Go-Go” Halloran, gets rip-roaring drunk and smashes his car into a highway barrier. The funeral draws the surviving friends — a magazine editor named Gwen, a stewardess named Mickey and Go-Go’s brothers, Tim and Sean — back into the same orbit.

Police figure Gordon’s death is either an accident or a suicide. Gwen, the protagonist of the story, isn’t so sure. As she pokes into the case, she and the surviving friends are

Wasserstein’s talent was evident from an early age, but she was not a stellar student.

Tormented by self-doubt, she struggled to find an identity in her competitive family whose best-known member after Wendy was probably Bruce, the legendary financier who died at 61, just three years after his baby sister.

It wasn’t until Wasserstein started taking drama classes at Mount Holyoke College and later, The City College of New York and the Yale School of Drama, that she realized the theater could be an outlet for her burgeoning ambition.

She used her own life as material, capitalizing on a pitch-perfect memory for

dialogue and a sharp eye for detail.

Later, when her plays started being produced, friends would see them and feel as though she had plagiarized their lives.

When she died, Wasserstein, who was named by her oldest sister for the Wendy character in “Peter Pan,” was eulogized as one of the pre-eminent observers of well-educated, affluent, ambitious boomers like herself.

Salamon ably captures Wasserstein’s conflicted longings and those of an entire generation whose members, like Peter Pan, didn’t want to grow up.

to USU. Sakwa will be the first next month.

Sakwa, with the help of Nadra Haffar, who is the education curator at the museum, will be putting on a workshop Sept. 10, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is free and open to the public, but limited to the first 50 to sign up. For more information on the workshop, contact Haffar at 797-0165 or at nadra.haffar@usu.edu.

For now, Banerjee is putting the finishing touches on the exhibit that is already open to the public.

“We tried to get this show up early in the summer, we’ve been working and it’s

this ongoing, slow process,” Banerjee said. “... I think it flows together nicely, and the different categories make sense. The library is doing a small exhibition of graphic novels, so we are cross promoting.”

This exhibit opened in midJune and will be on display in the museum’s upper gallery through at least August of 2012. An official opening reception is scheduled for Oct. 31, purposefully coinciding with Halloween. For special features and hours of operation, go to www.artmuseum.usu.edu.
