Hospital officials didn’t know who he was, since, as a criminal, he never carried identification. Marrow served a nearly four-year stint in the Army, stationed in Hawaii, where he credits an old-school sergeant with shaping his later career arc. The Vietnam vet, referred to only as Donovan, screamed at Marrow that he was in the service simply because he couldn’t make it in civilian life. “More than anything else, that’s the one statement that propelled me to where I’m at today.

Ice also provides readers with a behind-the-scenes look at his genesis as an actor, including how director Mario Van Peebles came across Ice-T in a club and hired him to portray an undercover cop in the influential early ’90s flick, New Jack City. These days, Ice-T is in his second decade as a star of NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, where the onetime law-breaker again is portraying a member of law enforcement. He also speaks to inmates and at colleges around the country. “Who could have imagined that an ex-hustler from Crenshaw Boulevard would be spitting game to Ivy League students,” he writes. Or becoming the author of a fascinating memoir, the pages of which are jam-packed with tales of a guy who “actively did everything I rhymed about.”

The animated characters Linda, voiced by Leslie Mann, left, and Blu, voiced by Jesse Eisenberg, are shown in a scene from ‘Rio.’

Welcome our animation overlords This past weekend, Rio took the top spot at the box office over movies such as Scream 4. Hop lead the weekend before. It shouldn’t really surprise anyone that these two should do this well, especially considering how well movies such as Rango and How to Train Your Dragon have done. Not to mention Toy Story 3 and the other Pixar films. And other Blue Sky — the makers of Rio Bobby — films such as Ice Bozeman Age and Robots. Pop Also, you have Cultured to consider that the budgets for these movies are as crazy as their cast. Rio stars the voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Jamie Foxx, Anne Hathaway, Jayne Lynch and George Lopez, among others. I, for one, welcome our new animated overlords. Animation has come a long way

since the early days of Disney. Who would have ever guessed that a cartoon — a title that this genre has long outgrown — about a toy cowboy and a toy astronaut could move adults and critics to such emotional states? And get a best picture nomination? Why do these movies draw us in so much? I might be able to explain that with an exercise I saw in a book about comic books (Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics) way back in college. First, all you have to do is smile. How did you see yourself when you smiled? Chances are, when you imagine yourself, you imagine a very simplified version of yourself, much like a smiley face. When we watch drawn or animated media such as TV shows, movies, video games or comics, it is easy for us as humans to identify with the most simplistic of human drawings with vague physical features like Stan or Kyle from South Park. It’s what made that old WalMart marketing smiley-faced thing that bounced around and looked

happy so effective. It’s also the reason that the lastest Beowulf movie looked kind of creepy. You start reaching an area known as the “uncanny valley.” Think of animated realism as a chart, the closer you get to being human, the more we can empathize with the character. That is until you reach a certain part of the chart and the line dive-bombs into an area known as the uncanny valley. The idea is, if something is very inhuman and given human features — think the robots from Wall-E or the birds from Rio — we are endeared to it because we notice the humanizing features. However, if something is very close to human, well, we tend to notice the flaws like in the characters in the aforementioned Beowulf and also movies such as Polar Express. So next time you want to discount animation as kids stuff, remember that sometimes animation can be more effective than even live action at telling a story.

A scene is shown from the game ‘Portal 2.’

‘Portal 2’ a blast for the thinking gamer By Lou Kesten Associated Press

The Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device could change your life. Imagine a tool that lets you instantaneously cross vast distances by blowing holes through the timespace continuum. Put one hole in your office, one hole in your living room, and boom: No more endless commutes. No more pollution-spewing traffic jams. No more drive-time radio. Unfortunately, the portal gun’s range, for now, is limited to the environs of Aperture Laboratories. And its inventors — along with every other human in the Aperture complex — appear to be dead. That’s the dire situation at the beginning of “Portal 2” (Valve, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $54.99; PC, Mac, $44.99). And GLaDOS, the psychotic artificial intelligence you dismantled in the original “Portal,” is back in charge — and she isn’t happy. The 2007 “Portal” was a delightful surprise. Initially packaged with four other games as “The Orange Box,” its cerebral puzzles proved a welcome change-of-pace from Valve’s usual bread-and-butter, the first-person shooter. Each room in Aperture Laborato-

ries is, essentially, a three-dimensional maze; you have to figure out how to use the portal gun and a handful of other gadgets to reach an inconveniently placed exit. Since the franchise has graduated from experiment to headliner, there are many more puzzles in “Portal 2” — and they’ve become even more devious. There’s also a batch of clever new toys to play with. Aerial Faith Plates fling your character across bottomless pits. Gels make the floor bouncy or slippery. Hard Light Bridges can be used to cross gaps or block turret fire. And the beloved Weighted Companion Cube returns with a cousin, the Laser Redirection Cube. The most important returning character is GLaDOS (voiced by Ellen McLain), whose once helpful demeanor has curdled into murderous sarcasm. (“We’ve both said a lot of things you’re going to regret,” she informs you early on.) But two new voices make equally memorable impressions. Wheatley, played by Stephen Merchant of The Ricky Gervais Show, is a chatty, nervous A.I. who’s eager to help you escape. Cave Johnson, performed by J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, The Closer), is Aperture’s long-dead CEO, whose gung-ho encouragement devolves into fatalism.

It took me about nine hours to finish the single-player adventure — but a few of those hours consisted of simply staring at the screen, trying to conjure up a solution to a particularly thorny brain-teaser. The puzzles are scrupulously fair; you’re given exactly what you need in each room, and success depends on strategy rather than reflexes. Unfortunately, if you can’t solve a puzzle you’re stuck. I found that some of the trickier solutions came to me if I stepped away for a while; it may also help to ask a friend to take a second look. And while you’ve got company, you can tackle an assortment of twoplayer, cooperative “Portal 2” puzzles. Each player commands one robot, and you have to work together to solve each maze. They’re easier than the solo campaign — but two robots with two portal guns make the action a bit more hectic. There were some doubts that the “Portal” prototype could be stretched into a full-fledged (and full-priced) game, but Valve has delivered a sequel that builds upon the original while retaining its innovative spirit. In a market that’s drowning in lookalike first-person shooters, the thoughtprovoking “Portal 2” is a blast. Four stars out of four.

Morrison not trying to match show’s chart success By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

NEW YORK — Matthew Morrison’s debut single has yet to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, though the Glee cast has moved more than 130 songs on the chart. But the actor-singer, who stars on the hit Fox TV series, says he’s not worried about matching the cast’s musical feat. “I know going into this that that won’t be possible,” Morrison said in an interview from Los Angeles last week. “There’s going to be a lot of expectations for this album, you know. I’m in such a spotlight right now. ... I just want to do the best I can and just continue the growth.” Morrison’s single, the pop tune “Summer Rain,” was released in early March; it currently sits at No. 27 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. Last week he released his duet with Gwyneth Paltrow — a cover of “Over the Rainbow” — and this week he dropped his duet with Elton John, “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters/ Rocket Man.” Morrison said there will be a “big unveiling” of one more star-studded duet. His self-titled debut is out May 10. He said the first single isn’t a reflection of his entire album. “The single is fantastic and I love it, but I wouldn’t classify that as my sound,” he said. “There’s a lot of really kind of deeper songs (on the album) and I felt like if I started with one of those, I couldn’t go to a more pop-y place later.” On Glee, Morrison stars as Will Schuester, the school’s Spanish teacher and glee club coach. He’s earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his role on the series, and also has appeared on Broadway in such shows as Hairspray, Footloose and The Light in the Piazza. Writing songs gave him a chance to reflect on his life, he said. “I learned so much about myself and kind of dealt with some things I guess I had been suppressing for a while,” he said. “A lot of the songs I wrote were about my 20s, living in New York City, kind of being away from my family for the first time.” The 32-year-old said the album’s most personal song is “My Name,” a tune about the duality of his Glee character and his real self. “I walk down the street and people are like, ‘Hey, it’s Mr. Schue’ or ‘It’s the guy from Glee’, and no one really knows my name,” he said. “You’re in people’s living rooms every single week and they feel like they know that character and they think that’s who you are.” Morrison will kick off a solo tour June 18 in Minneapolis and wrap in Los Angeles on July 23. He says the tour will be “kind of moody, sexy.”

After 600 songs, U.K.’s Jessie J releases debut CD By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jessie J spent the last seven years crafting songs for her debut CD. And in that time she came up with a whopping 600 tracks. “(It) isn’t that many ‘cause it’s less than 100 a year,” she said. “(There are) the bad ones that no one will ever hear ... (but) I was young and the thing is, you have to write the bad ones to kind of know when something is good.” Luckily, the 23-yearold found 13 songs good enough to make it on her first album. The British newcomer — who won Critics’ Choice at this year’s Brit Awards — released her debut, Who You Are, in her native country in February. There it debuted at No. 2, reached platinum status and its first two singles, “Price Tag” and “Do It Like a Dude,” have hit the No. 1 and 2 spots, respectively. Jessie J is hoping to duplicate that success with the recent U.S. release of the album. “Price Tag,” which features rapper B.o.B, hit the Top 40 on the Billboard chart last week. The Associated Press: B.o.B is the only featured artist on your debut. Why him? Jessie J: If I was a male rapper — which obviously I’m not — (but) if I was, I think I’d be like him, and maybe (be) called like J.o.B. ... I remember he got played the song, he loved it and I did like five plane journeys in like four days and chased him around the U.S. to make sure I was there (for the recording), so it was an

Recording artist Jessie J poses for a portrait Monday, April 11, 2011 in New York. The British singer recently released her debut album, ‘Who You Are,’ in the U.S. experience. AP: So you went to high school with Adele — how was that? Jessie J: She was in music and I was in musical theater. ... We used to jam at lunch time and someone would play guitar and we both would just sing. ... At the time we both didn’t know we’d have, like, albums out at the same time. And she’s killing it. I’m so proud of her. ... (At

school) she was very kind of loud and everyone knew her and she was the girl everyone loved and up for a laugh and you could hear her laugh from a mile down the corridor. AP: Talk about writing Miley Cyrus’ “Party In the U.S.A.” Jessie J: That was my first week of writing after I signed to (Universal) Republic (Records), so it was like the first big kind

of writing session for my debut album ... and it was one of the first songs we did. And I remember thinking this song is amazing, but I don’t know if it’s me 110 percent, you know. You can kind of feel it. It was cool but it wasn’t edgy enough. AP: It was a big deal for Miley though. Jessie J: There are so many friends of mine that would say, “I would never, ever, ever listen to Miley Cyrus, like, as Hannah Montana” and it kind of brought her over to another style. AP: Dr. Luke worked on two songs on your CD and he’s produced hits for a lot of female pop singers. Were you hesitant about sounding like them? Jessie J: I remember first going in with Dr. Luke and it’s big pressure when you know you’re going in with someone that’s written huge hits for other female artists and you don’t want to sound like them. And I went in with him and (songwriter) Claude (Kelly) and said, “This is who I am. This is what I do.” ... And we sat for hours and went through my iTunes and listened to like, old Mary J. Blige and old Mariah (Carey) and Whitney (Houston) and Lauryn (Hill) and I said, “I kind of want to write tracks like that.” And there’s a song on my album called “Abracadabra” which totally is very different to what kind of, I wouldn’t say what Luke does, but you know, that big, pop, Katy Perry, Britney (Spears), I forgotten her name ...

New from The Belle Brigade and the ‘Glee’ cast By Glenn Gamboa

the TV show, can be hit and miss, Dalton Academy’s Warblers never fail to entertain. Lead Warbler Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) fills the tracks with an upbeat warmth that often surpasses the originals (Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”), especially when aided by clever a cappella arrangements where the group sings everything from swirling synths to jangling guitars. It’s no surprise the collection of their songs, Glee: The Music Presents The Warblers, is so good it would succeed even without the show.

Newsday

The Belle Brigade, The Belle Brigade (Reprise) There’s a doe-eyed innocence to everything about L.A.’s The Belle Brigade that makes their sun-kissed ’70s SoCal sound even more appealing. That’s pretty clear, even before the delightfully Simon-and-Garfunkel-ish harmonies of the first single, “Losers” — with its Zen opening lyric, “There will always be someone better than you, even if you’re the best” — or the Lindsay Buckinghamish counting-of-blessings, “Lucky Guy.” Brother-sister duo Ethan and Barbara Gruska, children of songwriter Jay Gruska and grandchildren of composer John Williams, fill their eponymous debut, The Belle Brigade, with so many sweet moments, all accented with their tight harmonies. Their inspirations are pretty clear. “Where Not to Look for Freedom” could pass for a long lost track from Fleetwood Mac’s landmark Rumours album if the Gruskas didn’t sound so darn happy as they approximate the memorable harmonies of Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. “My Goodness” introduces some estrogen into the soaring vocals of The Eagles, while the bluesy, piano-driven “Fasten You to Me” struts around like the Elton John incarnation of that era.

Summery pop from Daphne Willis By Steven Wine Associated Press

Daphne Willis, Because I Can (Vanguard) Before beginning work on Because I Can, prolific pop composer Daphne Willis says she wrote 50 to 60 songs, then picked 12 to record. Keep ‘em coming, Daphne. There’s not a dud among these dozen summery tunes. It helps that the 23-year-old Willis possesses a commanding, versatile alto that makes everything swing. She slides gracefully in and out of an appealing falsetto and manages R&B-style vocal leaps of

nearly an octave without coming off like some oversinging American Idol wannabe. Willis has clearly studied pop’s past, and the material hints at disparate influences, ranging from Burt Bacharach to Chicago to Norah Jones to Alicia Keys. Willis’ sound is entirely her own, though — cheery melodies, bouncy beats and clever arrangements flavored with Saturday-in-the-park brass. The music remains sunny throughout, even when Willis

sings about rain. This is an assertive young artist, as suggested by such song titles as “Shake It Off,” “Spit It Out” and “Slow Down.” With a record this good, she has reason to be confident. CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “The Song Song” starts with a piano figure worthy of “Teaching Little Fingers to Play,” then blossoms into a hook-filled ode to composing. The lyrics lay out Willis’ strategy: Keep things short and simple. She makes it sound easy.

‘Elephants’ is a three-ring bore water for elephants HH rating: PG-13 for moments of intense violence and sexual content Running time: 2:01 Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson, Hal Holbrook, Paul Schneider, Christoph Waltz

By Marcela Isaza Associated Press

By David Germain Associated Press

There are times you should just keep on ignoring the elephant in the room. For instance, Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson’s Water for Elephants. The adaptation of Sara Gruen’s best-selling novel about romance and intrigue in a Depression-era circus plods along at a pachyderm’s pace. Witherspoon and Pattinson are a three-ring snooze-fest together, bringing little passion to a love story supposedly so fiery, it blows the roof off the big top. The movie’s lone star attraction is Christoph Waltz, who won an Academy Award as a gleefully psychotic Nazi in Inglourious Basterds and here delivers another wicked performance as Witherspoon’s hubby, the cruel, jealous circus ringleader. As sadists go, this guy’s an amateur next to Waltz’s Basterds bad boy, but the actor is so talented, he commands every moment that he’s on screen, further highlighting how dull fellow Oscar winner Witherspoon and Twilight heartthrob Pattinson are. Director Francis Lawrence (Constantine, I Am Legend) throttles down from action flicks and sputters through this treacly love triangle (or love quadrangle, if you throw in the elephant). Like the book, the movie begins with its hero, Jacob, reflecting back on his life from old age, except the situation’s been changed from natural ruminations in a nursing home to a clumsy, Titanic-style framing story. Old Jacob (Hal Holbrook) spins the tale to an eager young

There’s a Depression on; we don’t need voice-overs telling us that times are tough. As the action shifts back to 1931, young Jacob (Pattinson) is sent a-wandering after tragedy wrecks his life and dashes his plans to follow his dad into the veterinary profession. Penniless, Jacob hops a train that happens to carry the Benzini Bros. Circus, whose star is horseback rider Marlena (Witherspoon), wife of the troupe’s autocratic owner, August (Waltz). Demonstrating his knowledge of animals, Jacob quickly is hired as the circus veterinarian and becomes trainer for Rosie, an elephant that August acquires as his wife’s new four-legged co-star. Half snake charmer, half brute, August alternately mentors and terrorizes Jacob, whom he inexplicably throws into Mar-

lena’s company again and again. Could he really expect Marlena and Jacob to do anything but fall in love? The romance is utterly predictable and uninvolving, with barely a spark igniting between Witherspoon and Pattinson. Waltz thankfully takes the two-dimensional villain crafted by the filmmakers and elevates August to something approaching a full-blooded, loathsome tyrant. He’s so good at being bad that August’s physical abuse of the elephant, while watered-down for the screen, looks truly savage. Watching Waltz beat Rosie, hatred for the elephant and hatred for the world seem to rise off his body like steam (don’t fret about the elephant, though; the crew used visual effects to create the beating scenes, and the movie comes with the American Humane Association seal of approval that no animals were harmed). As with the prologue, the

filmmakers shift details from the book around trying to make them more cinematic. Rather than heightening the drama, they create a story of implausible convenience, this event following that circumstance following that revelation, just when the characters need them. Period details, costumes and production design all are impressive, but Water for Elephants shortchanges the circus atmosphere. We get only the barest sense of carny life, and the acts themselves are seen in such fragmentary quick cuts that there’s no sense of wonder to it, no clue as to why the rubes come running when the circus rolls into town. The movie is a long, long way from the greatest show on Earth; at best, it might be the greatest show in your local theater, assuming it’s the only film playing there. The more you ignore it, the sooner it will pull up stakes and lumber away to the elephant graveyard.

LOS ANGELES — Robert Pattinson wasn’t worried about his dramatic acting chops while making Water for Elephants, but he is now. Pattinson plays Jacob Jankowski, a veterinary student forced to fend for himself after his parents are killed in a car accident. He hops a train and begins his life in a traveling circus. He quickly sets his sights on the star of the Benzini Bros. show, played by Reese Witherspoon, but lives under constant watch of her husband, an ambitious and often cruel circus owner and ringmaster played by Christoph Waltz. His two Oscar-winning costars have already given his latest performance a thumbs-up. Witherspoon calls him “the heart of this movie.” “I think people will be excited to see him in a different type of role than his Twilight role,” she says. “He takes you through and you see the movie through his eyes. It’s a really beautiful experience to watch him start as an innocent and become a man through the film.” Waltz, who won the supporting actor Oscar last year for his role in Inglourious Basterds, says Pattinson’s work in Elephants is “extraordinary.” “He’s making an effort to get out of this treadmill that he is famous for,” Waltz says. “He is smart and he does this and takes preliminary steps for what’s going to happen afterwards. That’s a wonderful next step. It’s not his first step, but next step, and he will establish himself as a serious actor.”

‘King’s Speech’ tops this week’s new DVD releases By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

This week’s new DVD releases include the top Oscar winner. The King’s Speech, Grade A: Director Tom Hopper’s film — winner of this year’s Oscar for Best Picture — uses one man’s physical limitations as the core for this beautiful and moving story of courage and friendship. Colin Firth turns in another standout performance that conveys how the mantle of royalty is both a curse and blessing. And Geoffrey Rush finds the right balance between respect for the crown and concern for the man wearing it. The Way Back, Grade B: A small group of escaped prisoners from a Siberian gulag make a dangerous trek home. Director Peter Weir has a wonderful way of putting interesting people in unfriendly environments to show how the human spirit is powerful enough to overcome almost anything. The only weakness is the lack of a sense of time — other than for dramatic climate changes — in the one-year trek. It’s a minor flaw in what is another

beautifully made film by Weir. Somewhere, Grade D-plus: Stephen Dorff plays a huge action film movie star bored with his life of sex, drugs and fame. The only escape is through his wise young daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning), who lives in the real world of video games, ice skating lessons and camp stays. Director Sofia Coppola’s casting of Dorff and Fanning is the best thing about this film. The pair have an unforced chemistry, partly because of their acting skills and partly because Coppola allowed the performers to improvise many of their scenes. They’re so good together, it almost saves the movie. Almost. Coppola’s spartan approach to the movie creates vast wastelands empty of emotion. Also new on DVD this week: Glee: Encore: Features season one numbers of music by Lady Gaga, Madonna and Journey. Justin Bieber: Rise to Fame: Story of the rise of Justin Bieber from street performer to superstar. Rabbit Hole: The film based David Lindsay-Abaire’s play

about a couple struggling to keep their marriage together. Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure: Ashley Tisdale reprises her High School Musical role. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air: Complete Sixth Season: Will Smith comedy about a Philadelphia native adjusting to life in California. Born to Raise Hell: Steven Seagal leads a task force on a mission of vengeance.

animals to great effect, letting us appreciate their beauty, their exquisite design. The filmmakers occasionally capture the cute — cuddly cubs wrestling. But they don’t shy away from the daily brutality of the “circle of life” — as we see in slowmotion takedowns of gazelles and zebras, whole herds of them bleating in alarm. Death was more gruesome and more emotionally wrenching in The Last Lions, which treated us to one cute cub pulled under by a croc and another, broken-backed and left to die after an assault by other lions. There’s nothing remotely that traumatic in African Cats. But Jackson’s enthusiastic performance of the narration, even managing the odd joke (“Herding cats is never easy.”), the splendid images and especially the wonderful sound — cheetah calls, grunting aardvarks wrestling, lions trying to muster up their most menacing roar — make “the Disney version” of the hard life “lived by tooth and claw” both educational and terrific, kid-friendly entertainment.

Ticketmaster rolls out ‘dynamic’ ticket pricing By Ryan Nakashima Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Event tickets seller Ticketmaster said Monday that it is introducing new technology to let artists and sports teams raise or lower ticket prices to reflect demand during the initial sales period — a move it said will crimp the profits of scalpers and boost revenue for performers and teams. The technology could push up initial prices for front-row seats while reducing prices on less-desirable ones that might have gone unsold otherwise. Ticketmaster, a division of Live Nation Entertainment Inc., says the change should make it harder for anyone to send prices soaring by buying up all the best tickets and reselling them at substantial profit. “When the fan experience is not clouded by scalpers grabbing seats, or when there’s more options for fans to come to a better show, that has a great impact on our business,” Ticketmaster Chief Executive Nathan Hubbard said in an interview. The company already is testing the system, known as “dynamic pricing,” with several professional baseball, basketball and hockey teams. Ticketmaster plans to roll it out at some North American venues in the middle of the summer concert season this year. Its founder and CEO, Barry Kahn, said Ticketmaster’s biggest challenge is bringing the system to the music industry, where there has been a “dysfunctional relationship” between artists, their promoters, and venues. StubHub, the world’s largest reseller of tickets and a subsidiary of eBay Inc., said dynamic pricing for sports events has not cut into its business. Tickets that command high prices on the initial sale tend to sell at even higher prices on the resale market because they’re in limited supply, according to StubHub spokesman Glenn Lehrman. And, when seats that aren’t as good are priced even more cheaply, more tickets get sold, he said. “Any kind of system that leads to lower prices, that is a good thing for fans,” Lehrman said.

A musical experience of a special kind will return to the CAST stage for the third time April 28, after a five year hiatus. Boomers, featuring music from the ’50s and ’60s, is a lighthearted and nostalgic walk down memory lane and tells the story of a generation that revolutionized the nation. Through songs of Elvis, Roy Orbison, Aretha Franklin, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Sonny and Cher and many others, Boomers celebrates the memories of America’s baby boomers. Born into a time of optimism and dramatic social change after WWII, baby boomers thought of themselves as a special generation, very different from those that had come before, rejecting and redefining traditional values. CAST Artistic Director Kim Dobbs took the memories of that time and co-created Boomers with M. Michael Fauss, and will direct this third production as well. Fauss, who is now the musical director of Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre, will return for this show, not only as musical director but also to play keyboards during the performance. Also returning from Atlanta for this production is J.H. Hawkins, who will be playing the drums. “The show consists primarily of singing and dancing with some scenes that recall the experience of growing up in the ’50s

and ’60s,” says Dobbs. “It’s a joyous experience that lifts the spirits. My mission is to have people dancing in the streets.” The 12 singers, dancers and actors who make up the cast of performers this time are a mixture of veterans and newcomers to the Boomers experience. The cast members include Jon Garlick, Steve Campbell, Scott Whitney, Jennie Wall, Linda Lee, Matt Burleigh, Heather Garlick, Georgia Cook, Virginia Mathews, Glenn Davenport, Michelle Bain and a featured performance by Ramsey Whitney. Also joining the CAST crew for this performance is Valerie Payton, who has appeared in several movies as well as TV shows. She currently appears as Patty Fellows on the Lifetime television show Army Wives. “She did all my national shows of Boomers,” Dobbs says. “She has a few weeks now (of break), so she was able to do this with us.” Jelena Anderson is a freelance writer in Wellington.
