Jessie’s Girl

#5

‘William shakespeare’s lonG lost First play’

The Leonard Theater embraces the ’80s on Friday night with the help of Jessie’s Girl.

The New York City-based ’80s tribute show performs an all-ages concert at the theater, 335 Adams Ave., Scranton., at 8:30 p.m. Doors open at 7:30.

The band’s lineup includes vocalists Jenna O’Gara, Chris Hall and Mark Rinzel. Jessie’s Girl has performed with a handful of 80’s icons, including Bret Michaels, MC Hammer, Colin Hay, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Taylor Dane, Howard Jones, Tone Loc and Rob Base. Constantine Maroulis, the Tony-nominated star of Broadway’s “Rock of Ages” and an “American Idol” finalist, frequently appears with the group, which is backed by band of New York music scene veterans.

DJ Jason Miller will lead a post-show party.

Tickets cost $15 to $24 and are available at eventbrite.com. For details, call 570-341-0375.

sprinG Break For autism

Spring Break for Autism enters into its 12th year on Saturday with the hope of providing much-needed funds to local organizations that help people affected by autism. The annual fundraiser runs from 7 to 11 p.m. at La Buona Vita, 200 Reilly St., Dunmore.

Admission is $85 per person, and proceeds benefit autism programs at Greater Carbondale YMCA and the Arc of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Youth who participate in these programs receive opportunities for learning and growth as well as the chance to engage in group activities. Event organizer Peter Cosgrove, whose daughter has autism, said these programs allow people with autism to “have some fun in life.”

The fundraiser features a silent auction, music and an open bar. Cocktail attire is suggested.

“Every year, we have a nice dinner and cocktails, then we have a silent auction,” Cosgrove said.

For more information, call 570-878-8611.

The Reduced Shakespeare Company lives by the motto “less is more.”

The three-man comedy troupe takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, concise comedies, and its latest work, “William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play,” comes to Kirby Center for the Creative Arts at Wyoming Seminary, 260 N. Sprague Ave., Kingston, on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

The play begins in a parking lot in Leicester, England, where the trio discover a 100-hour-long manuscript written by 17-year old William Shakespeare. The production follows this first draft, in which young Shakespeare has written about every famous character from “Romeo and Juliet” and “King Lear” to “The Tempest” and “Macbeth.” The troupe plays themselves and 47 other characters.

“If this were true it would be the Holy Grail of literature,” laughed Austin Tichenor, part of the trio and the show’s writer and co-director. “We wanted to write this because the chances of finding an actual manuscript seems very remote.”

Tickets are $10. For details, visit wyomingseminary.org.

Two ScranTon playhouSeS preSenT all-male and all-female ShowS over Same run

The all-male “Glengarry Glen Ross” with its female director and the all-female “The Women” with its male director play out on separate Scranton stages starting this week in a theatrical battle of the sexes.

Diva Productions brings David Mamet’s examination of the 1980s cutthroat real-estate business to the Olde Brick Theatre, 126 W. Market St., while Actors Circle tackles female relationships amid a gossipy, catty society in comedic style at Providence Playhouse, 1256 Providence Road. “The Women” opens Thursday, and “Glengarry” follows Friday; both run on weekends through April 2.

“That was one of the issues I did stress out about,” LoRusso said. “We have 22 actresses and 12 scene changes and about 60 costumes. And I thought, ‘How in the heck are we going to do this?”

SOUNDS

DANCING ON THE FAULT LINE

SAINT MOTEL — “Saintmotelevision” THE GOOD: Following its commercial breakthrough, the 2014 EP “My Type,” Los Angeles indie pop band Saint Motel comes back with a bright, tight, second fulllength album.

THE BAD: “Saintmotelevision” isn’t a game changer. Don’t expect innovation, just solid pop songs. And there’s nothing necessarily “bad” about that.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Co-produced

by Lars Stalfors (Cold War Kids, Matt & Kim, Mars Volta), the album is one punchy, infectious track after another.

The band’s hooks dance over solid

AUSTRA — “Future Politics” THE GOOD: Canadian electronic outfit Austra (on record that’s strictly singer/songwriter/ producer/multi-instrumentalist Katie Stelmanis) comes back with a third record both dreamier and considerably more serious at the same time.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Musically, “Future Politics” has softened the edges and liquefied its seamless

backbeats and backdrops that find keyboards and guitars meshing beautifully. It’s tough to resist sing-song stompers such as “Destroyer” and “You Can Be You.” And before you think the group is completely one-dimensional, the guys combine clever wordplay and classical pieces during “For Elise” and toss in the delicate, emotional closer, “Happy Accidents.” “Saintmotelevision” requires no heavy thought, just the ability to sing along with frontman A.J. Jackson or clap your hands. And if you find a smile plastered across your face from time to time, that’s cool too.

BUY IT?: Why not? rhythms. Danceable synth-pop concoctions such as the title track and “I Love You More Than You Love Yourself” find Stelmanis’ rich vocals gracefully taking flight over whirling hypnotic backdrops; the overall effect is strong yet soothing.

Lyrically, Stelmanis was heavily influenced by the utopian possibilities found in science fiction while being confronted daily with the political mess gaining momentum just south of her border (our divided United States). It’s a juxtaposition that’s more harmonious than chaotic. Stelmanis discovers hope among the tension.

But with Austra, the MUSIC always is the focus. Stelmanis’ melodies and arrangements never lack elegance and an undeniable melodic thrust. You take the sweet right along with the powerful.

“Politics” leaves this tradition wholly intact.

BUY IT?: Yes. PORCELAIN RAFT — “Microclimate” THE GOOD: Italian-born singer/songwriter/producer/multiinstrumentalist Mauro Remiddi

comes back with his third fulllength as Porcelain Raft.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: After a huge burst of creativity earlier in the decade, Remiddi slowed down the creative process for the slightly more organic “Microclimate.” While the album is still based in the electronic, layered guitars and warm piano flourishes are much more prominent.

Remiddi also seems more at ease showing off his songwriting chops; atmosphere no longer overpowers melodies.

Those craving another dose of dreamy indie pop need not panic though, for “Microclimate” is just as otherworldly as its predecessors. Only this time, it’s a little less Small Black and Tanlines and a little more “progressive,” as in spacey Sun Airway or even vintage Mercury Rev (dig the psychedelic overtones and grand melodies of “The Greatest View”). “Microclimate” may not be a BOLD step forward, but it’s a logical one; Remiddi refuses to stay in one place for very long.

BUY IT?: Surely.

‘SeaSon of hope’ inspires annual Gourmet Gala fundraiser

The spirit of French beauty and decadence makes its way into the convention center at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Sunday for the 30th annual Gourmet Gala.

Under the theme “Springtime in Paris,” more than 40 local restaurants present sumptuous appetizers, entrees and desserts for the major fundraiser that benefits Ronald McDonald House of Scranton.

Organizers set a goal of $80,000 this year, which will fund the house at 332 Wheeler Ave., Scranton, plus satellite rooms in three area hospitals that provide respite for families of pediatric patients.

Picture Perfect Band provides entertainment from 5 to 8 p.m., and the casino offers free valet parking for guests. Admission is $45 at the door, which grants guests access to a wide variety of samples from area eateries.

Waverly Twp. resident Kathy Nelson co-chairs the event this year with Peggy Hennemuth and expects upward of 1,000 people to attend. Nelson

worked on the annual fundraiser for the last four years, first by rounding up restaurants to participate and then by taking on a greater role with Ronald McDonald House after she toured the Scranton home.

“Once I did that, I was hooked. It’s a great cause,” Nelson said. “They help families really when they need it most.”

The Parisian theme came to mind in light of a trip to France she made with her husband a few years back.

“I loved it. First of all, it’s a beautiful city, and from what I hear, springtime there is spectacular,” she said. “Spring, to me, is a season of hope, so that’s kind of what we’re looking for.”

To bring Paris to Northeast Pennsylvania, she hired designer John Mackey to transform the event space with flowers and decorations. Nelson also reverted back to the original floor plan of years past, which makes room for several aisles of vendors and offers better traffic flow. Last year’s setup didn’t work as well for guests, she said, so

she hopes they’ll return to enjoy the redesigned pattern, which also includes two entrances.

Mostly, she and Hennemuth look forward to seeing (and tasting) the creative ways restaurants interpret the theme.

“There will be a little bit of everything,” Nelson said. “Some really get into it. They often dress up and make it fun.”

Stevens from “Downton Abbey”), we settle in for the familiar story — with all its romance and fantasy, and yes, more than a little bit of silliness.

(He’s a BEAST. He has HORNS AND HOOVES. I don’t want to sound “looks-ist,” but even as we come to understand why Belle would have genuine affection for the big fella, it’s a stretch even for a fairy tale to believe she’d fall in love with him.

Because he’s, you know, a BEAST. With HORNS AND HOOVES. Think of the children!)

Cutting-edge motion picture trickery allows for some pretty cool CGI versions of the elegant and sweet French candlestick Lumiere (Ewan McGregor); the blustery and fussy but big-hearted clock called Cogsworth (Ian McKellan); the motherly teapot Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson); and the wardrobe with the opera singer’s pipes (Audra McDonald).

Watson is well cast as Belle, who even when she is being held captive in a castle comes across as an independent spirit. Stevens has kind of a Dark Knight thing going with his booming voice (it sounds electronically altered) and of course is essentially playing an animated character in the beast, but his eyes convey his humanity, and there’s some wonderful self-deprecating humor as the Beast becomes less of a monster and more of a man.

As for the “exclusively gay moment” involving Josh Gad’s LeFou, it happens late in the film and it takes up about five seconds of screen time, but if you don’t think LeFou has had a serious thing for Gaston all along (even prior to this version of the story), you were missing some gigantic blinking neon indications, my friend.

“The Shack” The three bodies of the Holy Trinity (Octavia Spencer, Avraham Aviv Alush, Sumire Matsubara) help a grieving man (Sam Worthington) confront his past in a well-acted and sometimes moving but far too often slow-paced and unconvincing spiritual journey.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES

SMALL SCREENS “Allied” (War thriller, R, 124 m., 2016). A taut, tense thriller for its first half, this World War II film starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard later becomes a weird hybrid of domestic drama and wartime intrigue that sometimes stretches credulity and veers close to unintentional humor. The highs are so impressive and the lows are so ... weird.

Rating: HHH

“Collateral Beauty” (Drama, PG-13, 93 m., 2016). Scheming co-workers try to prove the insanity of their grieving partner (Will Smith) by arranging for him to meet people representing Death, Love and Time. This cheesy attempt at a holiday tear-jerker is built on a foundation so contrived, the most miraculous thing is that it was actually made. Rating: H “Fences” (Drama, PG-13, 139 m., 2017). In the movie adaptation of August Wilson’s great play about a tragically dysfunctional family in the 1950s, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis reprise their Tony-winning Broadway roles, and there are times when the film feels stagey and over the top. What

works: the brilliant dialogue and the raw intensity of the performances. Rating: HHH “Live By Night” (Crime drama, R, 129 m., 2017). Ben Affleck directs and stars in a curiously unfocused Prohibition-era gangster epic with some well-choreographed action scenes, a few provocative plot threads, but an increasingly meandering main story line that goes from intriguing to confounding to preachy to what exactly are we even watching here? Rating: HH1/2 “Moana” (Animated adventure, PG, 113 m., 2016). With help from a demigod (voice of Dwayne Johnson), an adventurous island princess sets out on the sea to save her homeland in an animated musical bursting with gorgeous visuals, filled with inspirational messages and chock full of gentle and quite clever humor. Rating: HHH1/2 “Moonlight” (Drama, R, 110 m., 2016). Gorgeous and yet bleak, uplifting and yet sobering, writer-director Barry Jenkins’ modern masterpiece

“Live By Night” chronicles pivotal periods in boyhood, adolescence and adulthood in the life and times of one person played by three skilled actors. This is a film brimming with memorable work. Rating: HHHH “Passengers” (Sci-fi romance, PG-13, 116 m., 2016). Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt play travelers who wake up prematurely from hibernation during a 120-year spaceship journey. The visual ef-

fects, while arresting at times, are just diverting eye candy, momentarily distracting us from the realities of the off-putting, ridiculous storyline. Rating: H1/2 GRADE: HHHH Excellent, HHH Good, HH Fair, H Poor.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Of course you want to get the best of everything.

But that doesn’t mean you should disdain cheap thrills that are more interesting and gratifying than the expensive kind. And of course you enjoy taking risks. But there’s a big difference between gambling that’s spurred by superstitious hunches and gambling rooted in smart research. And of course you’re galvanized by competition. But why fritter away your competitive fire on efforts to impress people?

“We create this brunch-like atmosphere,” Ipema said. “There is this intimacy of sharing these stories and deal breakers.”

Although Ipema shares the first name of the main character Sarah Jessica Parker portrayed in the TV series with a slightly different spelling, her favorite of the show’s four leading ladies to play is Samantha.

“She is all sorts of fabulous and candor,” Comedian and actress Kerry Ipema Ipema said. “She always has these really inbrings her show, “One Woman Sex and credible one-liners. Every line she gets a big the City: A Parody of Love, Friendship and laugh and applause. It’s full of shock value.

TURN TO PROSECCO fOR AN AffORDABLE SPARkLING WINE

As it deals with newfound popularity as an inexpensive bubbly, prosecco reaches out with line extensions and new quality tiers.

Prosecco has become a fixture for everyday celebrations, large gatherings and brunches. The recession years ago helped, forcing those who no longer had Champagne-sized budgets to look for alternatives.

To their delight, many discovered Spanish cava, French cremant and Italy’s prosecco.

Those deep into wine could point out the differences in the size and quantity of bubbles.

That’s a function of process.

Champagne and those sparkling wines made in the Champagne method undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle. Prosecco and some other sparkling wines cut a corner by doing that second fermentation (the one that puts bubbles in the wine) in a big tank.

Champagne is a cut above, but most days, bubbles of any kind are joy enough.

A sparkling wine like prosecco can be all you need.

In 2009, Italian authorities recognized the mouthful that is Prosecco Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, drawn to include the hilly region within of the broader prosecco region where grape quality is known to be better. While prosecco, under Italian rules, is classified as a DOC region — basically “really good quality” — Prosecco Conegliano-Valdobbiadene is a step higher, a DOCG region.

To simplify things further, the region has renamed the grape known as prosecco as “glera,” a long-standing synonym. It was a wise move, considering that a producer from anywhere could throw the word prosecco around.

Producers are parlaying this new interest into brand extensions and new quality tiers. They fully realize this sort of thing can take years — or centuries. DOCG wines aren’t necessarily better than DOCs. Take for example, La Tordera “Brunie” 2014

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut, which reaches for elegance. With smells of green apple skins up front with a hint of orange rind, the result is clean but missing a middle. Prosecco fans who think they are trading up may be a bit disappointed at this more austere wine. $13. HHH1/2 Zardetto Prosecco Conegliano Brut, on the other hand, is more like really good prosecco with floral, peachy aromas and flavors of citrus with a crisp, refreshing finish. It’s a quintessential prosecco that is serious without giving up the fun. $15.

HHHH Prosecco rules allow a certain percentage of grapes other than glera. Zonin took a unique approach coming up with black, grey and white iterations of prosecco.

The black is produced with some pinot noir, the grey has pinot gris, and the white has pinot blanc. The bottles are colored accordingly. This sort of blending is not a reach. All those grapes turn up in sparkling wines from other countries. Trying these Zonin wines side-by-side offers a fun exercise in comparison.

Zonin Prosecco White Edition has a floral nose with flavors of apple, an edge of citrus and a light yeastiness. $11. HHHH1/2 Zonin Prosecco Black Edition, with an apple and citrus nose, has a bit more weight and a hint of cherry from the inclusion of point noir. $11. HHHH Even when its reach exceeds its grasp, prosecco remains affordable and delivers value with those bubbles.

—david falchek David is executive director of the American Wine Society and reviews wines each week.

GRADE: Exceptional HHHHH, Above average HHHH, Good HHH, Below average HH, Poor H.

In case loving feelings have given way to hard feelings, there’s good news from a relatively new area of psychology called “embodied cognition” — the finding that taking action leads to corresponding feelings. So, it’s possible that acting loving can resuscitate the love you once felt.

Getting back to your co-worker, it doesn’t take much to lose yourself in fantasies about how great it would be with somebody new. However, marriage — to any person — is hard. Still, it has its perks, such as that wonderful ease that comes out of being with your spouse for a while — allowing you to finally feel comfortable talking about what you really need in bed: “Are you there yet?

Psycho sudoku Greater-than sudoku

PuZZLe PaGe

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not giving you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger.

Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time.

(Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box first, then move on to the 2s and 8s and so on).

“when words coLLide” — you can do it.
