The Church of St. Michael’s congregation is already familiar with Bullock’s talent because not only has he played there in the past, but the church was where he received his first organ experience.

BMA opens kid-friendly gallery About a month ago, the Birmingham Museum of Art opened its latest gallery, Bart’s ArtVenture, a hands-on learning exhibit for children. The two family galleries at Bart’s ArtVenture feature more than 15 stations that encourage discovery and creativity. The Sonat gallery, aimed at those 5 and under, has activities where children can play with light, make a mask, create a Folk Art Bart and explore shapes and colors. The Hess Gallery features ceramic pot painting, a giant flat screen for digital abstract painting, and a well-stocked library and game corner and more, all suitable for older children.

A friend and I took three children, ages 1-3, to the gallery for its grand opening May 19. The kids had a great time building sculptures out of Styrofoam cuts and pipe cleaners and jellyfish from domed plastic cup lids. The gallery has special events quite often: a book reading every third Saturday of the month and soap sculpting every Saturday and Sunday afternoon in June.

The entire concept is a great idea: A place where kids can play, have fun and learn — and of course, be loud — in what is normally such a calm environment. Just let them run themselves out, and then maybe the whole family can enjoy some Inuit art from Canada.

Judge sets hearing on CBS bid to block ABC series Associated Press

before “Glass House” is scheduled to premiere on Monday night.

LOS ANGELES — A federal CBS wants the show judge has set a hearing on a knocked from airwaves motion by CBS to block the premiere of the upcoming ABC because it claims the new series reality series “The Glass House” violates “Big Brother” copyrights and several of its former on the basis it copies elements and secrets from the long-run- staffers now working with ABC have violated non-disclosure ning show “Big Brother.” agreements.

U.S. District Judge Gary Both shows will feature Feess scheduled arguments for Friday morning, just days contestants who are constantly

filmed, although ABC claims its series greatly emphasizes audience participation and popularity to determine events on the show.

CBS claims Kenny Rosen, a former “Big Brother” producer who’s now one of the top producers on “Glass House,” has acknowledged that he instructed a staffer to copy an important manual used on the CBS show.

ABC has denied wrongdoing and urged Feess to reject the motion. In a filing earlier this week, it said many of the elements that CBS seeks to protect are common to many reality shows and are not protectable by copyright law. The network has spent $16 million promoting “Glass House” and claims nearly 150 workers would lose their jobs if the court blocks it from airing.

Corbin noted the recital will feature “a variety of organ repertoire from all periods.”

Bullock will play a diverse set, including different genres of classical music from Baroque to 20th century compositions. In between pieces, Corbin added, Bullock will engage the audience by sharing his experiences and what he likes about each composition and music in general.

“Music is a communal activity,” Bullock said. “We don’t just do it for ourselves but for everyone and the community.

I’m totally engrossed in the organ and music. The organ can speak to people on multiple levels because of the mechanics and sheer variety of sound, and St. Michael’s organ facilitates a recital that can span all these different genres of music.”

Not only will audiences and classical enthusiasts benefit from the sounds at the helm of Bullocks’ passion and delivery, but The Church of St. Michael and All Angels provides a unique atmosphere as well.

“People who have never been to St. Michael will benefit from the building,” Bullock said. “When you mix the aesthetic with this music, it merges together into such a beautiful thing. I hope people will walk away from this recital experiencing the beauty of something from another time and from this time.”

“This is a young man from this community doing very well,” Corbin said. “The organ is a fabulous instrument so it’ll be interesting to see what he can do with it. We want people to give him a good send off as he heads to graduate school.”

NEW YORK — There’s no spelling required in Zynga’s latest mobile game, “Matching With Friends.”

For those who play the popular, Scrabbleinspired game “Words With Friends,” the latest title should feel familiar. Instead of using letters to form words, though, players get groups of colorful blocks that they must match with blocks of the same color.

The game was released last Wednesday for the iPhone and the iPad. It will initially be available only in Australia and Canada. It will come to the U.S. and other countries in the coming weeks, though Zynga Inc. isn’t giving dates yet.

Like other mobile games from Zynga, “Matching With Friends” will have a free, ad-supported version. A paid version will cost $2.99, though initially it’ll be available on sale for $1.99.

Paul Bettner created the “Words With Friends” franchise with his brother after working on hardcore games such as “Halo” for more than a decade.

Zynga bought their company, Newtoy, in 2010.

“Matching With Friends” is the fourth “With Friends” game available. There’s also “Hanging With Friends,” a play on the classic “hangman” game, and “Chess With Friends.”

Bettner said that for new game ideas, he likes to think about things that he enjoyed when he was a child, or things outside of the technology world.

“Matching With Friends” originally started out as a picnic-inspired game that had players matching picnic baskets and other little items with each other. It later changed into blocks.

To Bettner, the “With Friends” games present a way to let people interact with each other in a way that’s even lighter and less intrusive than text messaging.

“You know that you have a connection with someone when you are playing a game,” he said in a recent interview. “But you don’t have to be talking to them about something. ... You have the opportunity to connect more deeply with them, but you don’t have to.”

It’s kind of like playing a board game around the dining table.

“You know you have a connection with someone when you are playing a game.”

BRIEFLY ENTERTAINING Andy Samberg head to the BBC after ‘Saturday Night Live’

John Shearer/Invision via Associated Press

Steven Tyler, left, and Joe Perry, of musical group Aerosmith, perform onstage at the ‘American Idol’ finale on May 23 in Los Angeles. The band’s summer tour began this week.

Aerosmith keeps things fresh with new tour, new album

By John Carucci Associated Press

NEW YORK — Aerosmith has flown with turbulence for most of their 40year career, but as the group’s summer tour begins this week, things in the band seem to be absolutely blissful.

“We’ve already gone through all our problems,” Steven Tyler said in a recent interview, laughing with Joe Perry.

Aerosmith has definitely had its share of feuds both public and private, most recently in 2009, when Perry lashed out at Tyler after the “American Idol” judge fell off a stage during the band’s concert tour and injured himself, forcing the band off the road.

Perry questioned Tyler’s dedication to Aerosmith and even floated the idea of a new lead singer, but they made publicly made up.

“Joe and I were fighting for a while, that’s no secret,” Tyler said. “But whatever demons or realities were going on in the band, it happens with bands that stay together for 40 years and have the success that we have.”

He added that any friction never affected their ability to put on a good

show: “We’re up there to play to the audience. It’s never about us.”

Perry agreed.

“It’s only as good as those two hours onstage,” the guitarist said of the band’s chemistry. “The rest of it, I have no idea how it works. With Aerosmith, we put one foot in front of the other and hope for the best.”

Aerosmith (which includes guitarist Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton and drummer Joey Kramer) starts the “Global Warming” tour with Cheap Trick on Saturday in Minneapolis. Then later this summer, they’ll release their first studio album of allnew material since “Just Push Play” in 2001.

The upcoming “Music From Another Dimension” marks the first time in a decade that Perry and Tyler wrote music together. Tyler says despite the time it took to get back to basics, once they did, it was like a “fine wine.”

“It’s the same bottle man. We just corked it. Everything that was cooking inside and fermenting to that just right year just happened to be now. It was the perfect time,” Tyler said.

Perry said the album was 10 years in the making with riffs he wrote back

in 2002, and chord progressions from today. He feels they fit nicely in what he describes as “playing the old songs new and the new songs old” to keep the band lean and mean — part of Perry’s commitment to keep Aerosmith from becoming a nostalgia act.

“There are bands that don’t talk to each other for five years, and then get back together and go out and play their songs and they turn into the best cover band of their own songs,” he said. “That’s fine and well, but for us it will be always changing. We’ve been trying to write this record for 10 years, and we finally did.”

Aerosmith joins several other classic rock acts on the road this summer.

The Beach Boys are celebrating their 50th anniversary, and Black Sabbath is reuniting as well. But the latter band had to deal with the acrimonious departure of drummer Bill Ward, and Van Halen is cutting its summer tour unexpectedly short due to mysterious reasons.

For all its past problems, Aerosmith has remained together.

Tyler may have summed it up best: “With great pressure comes great diamonds.”

LOS ANGELES — Andy Samberg made his departure from “Saturday Night Live” official earlier this summer, and now his post-“SNL” plans are official: He’s going to England.

Samberg is set to star in the BBC series “Cuckoo.” The six-part series casts Samberg as an American hippie and “self-appointed spiritual ninja” battling a proper British dad (Greg Davies) for the heart of his daughter (Tamla Kari).

Davies is a comedy star in England, where he’s best known for his stand-up and his role on the classic comedy series “The Inbetweensamberg ers.”

The series, which films this summer and will air on BBC Three later in the year, was created by Robin French and Kieron Quirk, writers of the drama series “Trinity.”

Samberg, who was with “SNL” since 2005, wasn’t the only big-name departure this spring, but unlike Kristen Wiig, he didn’t make it official until after the season ended. (Wiig got a touching send-off from the entire cast in the show’s season finale).

modern-pop flourishes.

On “Punching Bag,” Turner stays the course, mixing Christian songs (“For the Love of God” and “I Was There”) with uptempo novelty tunes (the title cut) and romantic songs that bop along to midtempo rhythms (“Left Hand Man”).

Love songs continue to be his forte: The married father of three repeatedly finds ways to sing about love in clever, positive terms that fit his voice and personality without turning women or relationships into clichés.

From the moody bass lines and acoustic accents in “Time Is Love,” about making his marriage a priority in his schedule, to the R&B-influenced guitar melody of “Good Problem,” about how his obsession with loving his partner is the kind of dilemma he can handle, Turner once again proves he ranks among the most effective — and most hard-core country — performers of his generation.

CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: On “Cold Shoulder,” Turner fully indulges his traditional country side. The album’s lone heartbreak ballad, Turner sings it with an emotional subtlety reminiscent of Alan Jackson or George Strait.

‘Rock of Ages’ shows little ‘Glee’ for the hair-metal era

By Roger Moore McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Most movie musicals, even in the age of “Glee,” still face that awkward moment when somebody — say her name is “Sherrie Christian” — riding a Greyhound, bursts into “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger, and the rest of the bus bursts in to join her for the chorus.

Audiences today titter at that.

But you measure the movie by how quickly we get over it.

“Rock of Ages,” the big-screen version of the jukebox musical set to ‘80s “hair metal” anthems and ballads, never does. The all-star cast is game, but the filmmakers can’t stop winking and mocking the mockable music and the era long enough to let the picture, built around over-the-top tunes

by Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Journey and others, pay off.

It’s enough to make you “stop believin’.”

Tom Cruise, as burnt-out rocker Stacee Jaxx, will do his best Axl Rose impression — bare-chested belting, waving a mike-stand bedecked in scarves — or Diego Boneta, aspiring metal singer, will tear into Foreigner’s “Jukebox Hero,” or Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand and the rest of the cast blast “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll,” and director Adam Shankman (“Hairspray”) will go for some cheap laugh and utterly undercut the moment.

Maybe the music, the fashion, the whole rapacious testosterone vibe of that spandex, eye-shadow, poodle-haired era is laughable.

But it’s one thing to poke fun at something, quite another to attack it with utter contempt.

That’s the feel here.

Would you let a guy who hates corn and corny film “Oklahoma!”?

“Rock of Ages,” which discards quite a bit of the book of the stage musical it’s based on, swirls around Jaxx, who staggers onstage for his farewell show at the Sunset Strip’s famed “Bourbon Room,” and prepares to launch a solo career. Sherrie,

But it’s 1987, and that world is about to change. The film says it’s rap and boy bands that will kill the moussed music (musicians say it was grunge that did them in).

The Bourbon Room is under pressure from the mayor’s wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a cross between Anita Bryant and Tipper Gore, who pledges to “clean up Sunset Strip” and “take Satan off our streets.” She and her fellow Mothers Against Drunk Rockers then kick into a rowdy-raunchy rendition of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

Drew writes songs for Sherrie, Sherrie moons over Drew, but fame ruins romance in La La Land.

“The spotlight doesn’t just light them up. It’s makes us disappear,” another waitress warns Sherrie.

Thus, does Miss Innocent from Oklahoma wind up in a strip club run by Mary J. Blige, who delivers what passes for a show-stopper here — “Any Way You Want it,” with a choreographed crew of VERY athletic pole dancers behind her.

You will be amazed at the actors who take on singing, often for the first time onscreen (Baldwin, Malin Akerman as a sexy Rolling Stone reporter, Paul Giamatti as Stacee’s sleazy

manager) and don’t embarrass themselves. Cruise, in particular, is a demented delight to watch, all jewel-encrusted dragon’s head codpiece, buttless chaps and selfserious drunken swagger.

But the songs, with a few exceptions, lack the urgency of the original renditions. The leads (Hough and Boneta) are so bland and thin-voiced that they seem out of step with 1987, even if they’re exactly what we get from pop stars in our Auto-tune era.

You will be stunned at how leg-spreadingly crude (fitting the MTV of the times, and the music) a PG-13 movie can be. Miami was nicely dressed down for a film fantasy version of Sunset Strip in the ‘80s — vulgar leather and neon and sports cars and mug-

Second ‘Holmes’ better than original

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

This week’s new DVD selections include a famous detective and three strong TV series.

“Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” Grade B-minus: Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Watson (Jude Law) battle Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris).

What makes the sequel better than the original is the inclusion of Holmes’ chief nemesis, Moriarty, and the replacement of wimpish Rachel McAdams with the robust Noomi Rapace. Both characters are intriguing enough to help gloss over Guy Ritchie’s directing quirks.

Harris brings a smug brilliance to the role of Moriarty that generates a genuine spark in the scenes in which he mentally spars with Holmes. Law continues to provide the look and dry humor needed to keep this tale close to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original vision.

“Scandal: The Complete First Season” Grade B-plus: Kerry Washington stars as Olivia Pope, a fixer who deals with high-profile problems that range from keeping the client list of a Washington D.C. madam under wraps to a scandal surrounding the president.

Her tactics are cold, calculated and effective.

A combination of Washington’s strong performance and smart scripts make this midseason ABC series a hit. Pick up the first season to prep for the return in the fall.

Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan play the series creators who must decide between their artistic integrity and the fame and fortune that come with a hit situation comedy.

“Episodes” would have been more interesting if there had been more focus on the Americanization of the show, rather than the slide of the show creators into the ooze of Hollywood.

“GCB: The Complete First Season” Grade Bminus: The ABC series, based on the book “Good Christian Bitches” by Kim Gatlin, looks at what happens when the former “it girl” (Leslie Bibb) returns home to Dallas 18 years after graduation to live with her mom (Annie Potts).

Sandler f inally tops ‘The Hangover’ — in grossness

By Roger Moore McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Vanilla Ice is back, back baby.

And for that crime alone, Adam Sandler should get the chair.

Alas, it’s a minor offense in “That’s My Boy,” a no-holds-barred raunch-fest that combines bits of “Saturday Night Live” skits and “The Hangover” with every ugly Sandler laugher ever made.

When your comedy starts with a criminally “inappropriate” sexual relationship between a 13 year-old boy and his bombshell teacher, the scariest thought is “Yeah, they’re going to have to top that.” Which they then proceed to do.

Sandler has made worse movies, but never one as grotesque as this.

He stars as Donny Berger, who became famous — notorious — in the ’80s for his illegal fling with Miss McGarricle (Eva Amurri Martino). Donny made a lot of money being the kid who lived Van Halen’s “Hot for Teacher” fantasy — the envy of his (male) peers. Of course, he blew through all that cash. Thirty years later, all he has to show for the glory days

that’s my boy H rating: R for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, pervasive language and some drug use Running time: 1:51 Starring: Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Leighton Meester, Vanilla Ice, James Caan

are a dated TV movie about the affair, his old Fiero and a whopping tax bill.

Donny’s one hope — find his estranged son, whom he named “Han Solo Berger,” and stage a reunion with the kid and the imprisoned mom on a sleazy TV show hosted by a guy played by sportscaster/ Sandler pal Dan Patrick, sporting freakier hair than usual.

Han Solo changed his name to Todd Peterson and grew up to be a dull hedgefund manager. Todd’s a pushover, the sort of nerd who makes unfunny “beep beep” computer noises when he’s showing off his math skills.

“Are you sure you’re not a Chinaman?”

his insensitive future in-laws want to know.

You will not believe how unfunny “Saturday Night Live’s” Andy Samberg can be until you see this guy — a henpecked groom about to marry the shrill Jamie (Leighton Meester).

Tony Orlando plays Todd’s crude and lewd boss. James Caan does the worst Irish accent he could manage, playing a two-fisted priest who will marry the couple.

There are a staggering number of shock-for-shock’s-sake scenes that go on, ad nauseum — masturbation jokes that don’t land, clumsy, slow showcase moments for the growing number of clowns on Sandler’s payroll (assorted “Saturday Night Live” alumni, Nick Swardson, etc.) all playing caricatures.

And through it all, a much-heavier Sandler waddles and chews on a “Pahk the caah in the chow-duh” Massachusetts accent, reviving the “Wasssuuppppp” catch-phrase, aiming low and sometimes hitting his targets. Maybe the best joke is how “good looking” and “sexy” all the women say he is, how charmed every

character seems by his oafishness.

The septic tank of a script undercuts its central thesis — that it’s never too late to learn to be a dad, that there’s nothing wrong with being a childish moron, even as a parent — at every turn. Todd can’t ride a bike, can’t play sports and carries spare underwear with him thanks to assorted childhood traumas.

Fans of lower-than-low comedy may choke on their popcorn over every staggering vulgarity. But sentient beings will find a laugh, here and there, as well. The first reunion-with-Vanilla Ice moment — he and Donny were buds back in the day — is awkward, accusatory and hilarious. And the riotous post-bachelor party bacchanal that Donny throws for his son (with Ice in tow) is cut into a music-video montage that amuses.

But mostly, “That’s My Boy” is a groaner. Yet it’s more appropriate for Father’s Day than you’d think. It’s your aging dad, stuck in the past, swearing and carrying on like he’s just heard about those other guys stealing Mike Tyson’s tiger, assuring you he can top it. As if anybody really wants to see that.

CAST’s Randy Awards set for June 28 Community theater in Anniston: Its archives speak of talented and unique personalities and rising action that builds to memorable, magic moments in the spotlight.

From this history alone, a non-fiction script could easily be written.

Community theater’s challenges, trials, surprises and triumphs from the mid-1920s through today could be woven into a thrilling plot all its own.

When you think of all the plays, musicals and children’s shows on its various stages and all of the people who have walked the boards … it’s a story that must be told!

Hervey Based on the Folsom Tony Awards Artists in Action format, the Randy Awards is a time to recognize volunteers (those who sewed, painted, scavenged for props, built sets and more) who helped deliver the playwrights’ words from the page to the stage. It is a time to honor the surprised and excited recipients of the trophies as they step up to the stage, and to be entertained by the wit of the presenters.

This year, it is a time for a change in the voting: CAST season ticket holders received ballots and were asked to vote on actor/actress winners, providing that the voters had seen all four productions last season. An award is also presented by the board president, Debby Mathews, and the artistic director, Kim Dobbs.

Kim Davenport is serving as chairperson of the event. Lolly Payne and Scott Whitney are the emcees. The appropriate dress is semi-formal to formal wear. Also, a silent auction will be held. Items included will be a pair of gold earrings from Couch’s Jewelers and four Alabama Shakespeare Festival tickets to the current season’s “The Nanta Cooking Show,” which runs July 11-15, and “Putnam County Spelling

CAST’s annual Randy Awards are named after CAST founder, playwright and Star arts critic Randy Hall. The awards ceremony will be held June 28 at Classic on Noble.

Bee,” presented Aug. 10-Sept. 2.

Trophies bearing the comedy and tragedy masks are called “Randys” in honor of CAST founder and playwright Randy Hall, who was a journalist and arts critic for The Anniston Star. Printed interviews with Hall reveal that he had a strong interest in writing for the theater since the age of 12. Once he saw “The Man Who Came to Dinner” and later, “The Boyfriend,” both by Town& Gown Theatre in Birmingham, he resolved to be a playwright and actively developed his interest. The writer’s colorful and quirky characters were a favorite point of discussion by his patrons because these characters often reminded them of people they knew in Anniston.

But Hall focused on the total theme of his works. “My plays are about the human heart,” was his usual response.

Hall had at least eight plays produced in this area, some of which have been presented around the country.

The evening’s fanfare builds toward its peak when the Edel Y. Ayers Award, an engraved silver bowl, is

presented by Phil Sanguinetti to the individual who has gone far beyond the regular tasks in making the shows happen. Mrs. Ayers is remembered for organizing the first Little Theatre in Anniston with the help of the Players’ Guild, a core of residents actively interested in theater.

The first playhouse was in the basement of the Radio Building on Noble Street where actors in rehearsal were warmed on cold nights by heat from a wood stove; then, the curtain rose “with a prayer,” as the history states, on the first play, “The Dover Road” in 1927 in the old Anniston High School (where Piggly-Wiggly is now). And, according to records, 600 people attended. This marked the official start of community theater in Anniston.

Revisiting the challenges in CAST’s last season’s plays gives insight into volunteers’ busy schedule at CAST. “In ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,’ getting the word out that we were doing this delightful musical instead of the advertised play was difficult,” Dobbs said. “Consequently, many patrons missed this show. As codirector/choreographer, it was a test to direct only four actors, each of whom represented 19 characters.”

In “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Dobbs said, presenting all performers on stage at once in the George Bailey living room took lots of planning. This was the largest cast (43 actors) Dobbs had directed for CAST. Also, an effort was made to include as many children as possible by adding a Bedford Falls Holiday Extravaganza before each act.

In “The Nerd,” Dobbs added, the challenge was having set designer Brooke Hunter fill in for Howard Johnson (who was on a world tour) as Mr. Waldgrave for half of the rehearsal period. There was a lot of physical comedy in this farce, and intricate blocking rehearsal was imperative for safety. So, said Dobbs, Brooke was Howard and then Howard was Brooke and no actors were injured.

Presenting a drama is always challenging, but presenting Tennessee

General auditions for CAST’s next season are at 7 p.m. June 18 and 2 p.m. June 23 at First Presbyterian Church in Anniston in the Fellowship Hall. Those auditioning for the first time are asked to bring a recent photo headshot. Singers and dancers may bring a short prepared piece and their own accompaniment, or perform without accompaniment. A piano and CD player will be provided. Dance routines will be choreographed on site by the director. Actors may also bring a short monologue (one minute) but will be asked to read from the production’s script.

The season is as follows: n “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” by Stephen Sondheim and Larry Gelbart (musical comedy), Sept. 13-23 n “A Christmas Carol” (re-telling of Charles Dickens’ classic seasonal favorite story), Nov. 23-Dec. 2 n “Private Lives,” a farce by Noel Coward, Feb. 7-17, 2013 n “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the classic Shakespearean comedy, May 2-12, 2013.

Call 256-820-CAST for more information.

Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” in the Bible Belt was sensitive, and the director devoted a lot of thought as to what was the proper way to honor the playwright and engage the audience.

“And presenting three acts in two acts is tricky, but I felt it prudent to make that decision,” Dobbs said.

Everyone is invited to the 7th Annual Randy Awards on Thursday, June 28, at Classic on Noble. The doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person for the meal and awards.

Reservations must be made by June 20 by calling event chairperson Kimberley Davenport at 256-405-8597 or the CAST office at 256-820-2278.

Novel delves into Iranian royal intrigue “Equal of the Sun” by Anita Amirrezvani; Scribner, 2012; 448 pages; $26

By Nahal Toosi Associated Press

Iranians love to revel in their history.

Tales of the Persian empire — its glorious conquests! its noble heroes! its brilliant dynasties! — are never too far from the lips of modern-day Iranians, especially those who aren’t too thrilled with the way things are going now for their country.

Writer Anita Amirrezvani has managed to carve out a niche for herself in the world of fiction thanks to that gilded heritage, much the same way Philippa Gregory and others have mined English history for their novels.

Amirrezvani’s new book, “Equal of the Sun,” takes place in 16th-century Iran, and is told through the eyes of a eunuch who serves one of the most famous women of that era, Princess Pari Khan

Khanum. Since a royal court is involved, court intrigue must follow, and it does.

Pari’s father, the shah, dies, and a power struggle erupts over who is to succeed him. Because Pari is a woman, she cannot technically take the throne.

But as many an Iranian woman will posit, Iranian men are fools if they think they are actually in charge of anything.

It doesn’t help that the man Pari decides to back for the throne turns out to be paranoid, murderous and dismissive of her many talents. It also doesn’t help that the princess herself is not immune to the pitfalls of power.

The more interesting character, however, is the eunuch who tells the story, and who has his own reasons for wanting to stay in Pari’s good graces. The eunuch

is known as Javaher (jewel or treasure), and he voluntarily gave up his manhood to prove his loyalty to the shah after his father was executed for treason.

Javaher is convinced his father was an innocent man, and desperately wants to take revenge on those who plotted to bring him down.

Amirrezvani is a very capable writer, though this book is not as well-crafted as her previous novel, “The Blood of Flowers,” another work of Iranian historical fiction. The inclusion of common Iranian expressions — “May your hands never ache!” — is a nice touch in some places, but at other times it is a bit distracting.

Overall, however, “Equal of the Sun” is a page turner, with plenty of gripping moments. Here’s hoping Amirrezvani will write many more tales illuminating the incredible history of the Iranians.

‘Very interesting to write about’ ‘Dead Towns of Alabama’ deals with Southern history, culture LaTonya Darrisaw ldarrisaw@annistonstar.com

Behind every good writer is an interesting story drawn from personal inspirations and unique experiences. The story behind Barry Bradford’s “Dead Towns of Alabama” is a familiar one borrowed from Bradford’s own personal challenges growing up without his father in Birmingham. Now, audiences have the opportunity to see that struggle mirrored through Nathan Coleman, a 45-year-old bookstore clerk, on stage at Jacksonville State University starting June 20.

“The main character of this play is a little bit of myself,” Bradford said.

“He [Nathan] is struggling with the memory of his father and trying to sort out who he is and answer questions about his own life.”

Eric Traynor, director of “Dead Towns of Alabama” and assistant professor of drama at JSU, said he was anxious to bring this story to the stage.

“In some aspects, we can all relate to trying to get in touch with our past and the people that raised us,” Traynor said.

“Audiences can relate to the need for that connection to the past so we can understand our present.”

Bradford, a University of Alabama graduate who has written four plays, considers himself an Alabama playwright. While he now resides in Louisiana, most of his plays have been written about

situations in Alabama and people who live there.

“The South has a great deal of rich culture and, along with a rich culture, there’s a whole lot of pain in Southern history from all sides,” he said. “My plays deal with religion, alcohol, firearms and racism because those are the things that tend to run through our history. It makes life down here colorful and strange sometimes, but very interesting to write about.”

JSU has performed several of Bradford’s plays already and to perform “Dead Towns of Alabama,” which won the 2011 Southern Playwrights Competition, is an honor for both Traynor and the cast. Bradford expressed his excitement in seeing JSU take on one of his productions for the third time.

“Barry’s had several productions on our stage before and one of the things I like about him is that he addresses some important issues without beating you over the head with them,” Traynor said.

“The first time I had the opportunity to see one of my plays done was just so much fun, and it was interesting to see what they [JSU] did with it,” Bradford said. “The way the students throw themselves into these projects is such a joy to watch.”

The cast of “Dead Towns of Alabama” has been met with a few challenges that even Bradford acknowledges.

“I’ve thrown them some curves because

the characters in some of my plays are old and students pulling that off is not so easy, but they did it,” he said. “I’ve come away from it learning something about myself and my own plays. The only way a playwright can learn if something works or doesn’t work is to see it on stage.”

Traynor insists the cast has been working hard to bring Bradford’s script and characterization to life for audiences.

“I’ve got a wonderful cast that I think are very well-suited for the parts they’re playing, even though some of the characters are older,” he said. “I think they’ve all done really well because they have a respect for the playwright and the kind of emotional and psychological challenges these characters bring.”

Traynor said the set designer, Carlton Ward, also did a good job with setting the scene in a “very realistic and rustic design approach.” While Bradford hopes his plays get picked up by other theaters across the state, the main thing he wants audiences to do after watching JSU’s production of “Dead Towns of Alabama” is to think.

“We tend to look back on the past with rose-colored glasses, but there are good and bad things about the old and new South,” he said. “I want people to figure out those issues of where we’ve been and where we’re going, and hopefully, the change and progress is in the right direction.”

Stephen Gross/The Anniston Star

Daniel King Jr. holds a gun on Nathan Andersen during rehearsal for the Jacksonville State University play ‘Dead Towns of Alabama.’ The play, which won the Southern Playwrights Competition, begins its four-day run June 20.

Traynor echoed that sentiment stating, “There are some really important racial issues in this play that get addressed throughout it but not in an overwhelming way.” he said. “I like that Barry writes about these flawed characters that help us to see our own flaws and strengths, too.”

Photos special to The Star

The revolution will be televised… sort of The way Americans are watching television continues to evolve

By Brett Buckner

Special to The Star

harles Battles misses the days of “Ozzie and Harriet.” Those were the simpler times when Wally and the Beaver were always getting into trouble and family values were important because “Father Knows Best.”

“Today,” said Battles, who lives in Anniston, “there are too many reality shows or shows with sex and violence in them and not enough family-oriented programs.

“Aahh, the good ol’ days. Where have they gone?”

Growing up, Battles only had two channels to choose from — WBRC Channel 6 or WAPI Channel 13. Today, with so many channels to choose from, Battles is constantly flipping without staying on one show for more than a few minutes — save for a college football game. But for all his frustration, Battles has learned to adapt.

“Technology has definitely changed the

way people watch television,” he said. “I, myself, don’t watch a lot of TV, but I do love the fact that if I see a program being advertised, I can go in and set my DVR. I also like the fact that I can pause any program that I am watching if the phone rings or I need to take a bathroom break.”

Sept. 7, 1927, marks the birth of television. According to a recent USA Today and Nielsen Media Research study, the average American household has more televisions — 2.7 — than people — 2.5. Televisions have grown in more than just number, experiencing a remarkable evolution in recent years.

In 2004, the average TV was 27 inches.

Today, the average TV is 37 inches, a size that’s

projected to reach 60 inches by 2015. But it’s not just the size of televisions that have grown in recent years. It’s also the availability of programming.

The Internet has forever changed the way Americans consume TV programming. For better or worse, those “Leave it to Beaver” days of the family gathering on the living room couch at a certain time to watch their favorite program are a thing of the past.

By renting shows that recently aired through iTunes, Netflix and Hulu, people can now watch shows and movies whenever they want. And technology is moving in the direction of Smart TV, where web-based technology allows Internet access to television. Currently, Smart TV has sold more than two million units worldwide, but it’s in less than a million U.S. homes. Like Blu-ray players before it, the technology is still in its infancy, but that won’t last.

“We rarely watch TV in real time anymore and when we do, we’re usu-

ally watching one show while recording another,” says Angie Finley, a public relations specialist at Jacksonville State University . “We are heavy Netflix and Apple TV (iTunes) streaming users in our family.”

Pause and play In 1999, TiVo was launched, changing the way people watch television. With “DVR-ing” viewers could record shows while watching them — allowing for pausing or skipping commercials — or simply recording shows to watch later. In its prime, TiVo had more than four million users but soon DVRs transcended TiVo. Now, a company like DirecTV has more than 19 million users, most of whom have DVRs as part of their service.

No longer do Americans schedule their lives around TV shows. Now they schedule TV shows around their lives.

“I love my TV and watch almost exclusively via TiVo,” says Lucile Bodenheimer,

a clinical psychologist at the Bodenheimer Psychological & Counseling Center in Anniston, adding that she has one with more than 2,000 hours of viewing. “Since I work until 7 p.m. or later most nights — in fact, it’s unusual for me to leave the office before 8 p.m. — by the time I eat and then exercise, my TV viewing time doesn’t even begin most nights until 9 or 10 p.m.”

The ability to pause live TV can reach the point of a natural reflex.

“I’m so used to being able to fast forward, rewind and pause my entertainment,” Finley said about a recent drive to work, “that I caught myself reaching up for the radio button in the car because I missed part of what the DJ said. For a half a second, I actually thought I could rewind him.

“What does that tell you about the age we’re living in?”

The Digital Age According to a 2011 study, one in four people used Hulu to watch TV and movies, while 56 percent say they had recorded live

TV at least once in the past month.

But for the enormity of plasma screens in American homes, the digital age has made movies and TV more accessible than ever. Angie Finley can often be found in the doctor’s office watching streaming programs on her mobile device.

“I often watch movies and such on my iPhone or iPad via iTunes or Netflix while I’m stuck in the chair,” Finley said. “It’s nice to have it all portable. (But) I really don’t watch so much TV that I have to have it with me all the time.

“It’s more a matter of being so busy that, when I can pause to catch my breath and watch a bit, I want it to be waiting for me and not the other way around.”

Not to mention the fact that

watching TV via portable device is a lot safer.

Monty Clendenin, a retired pastor who lives in Jacksonville, remembers growing up in Texas when his family had a 100-foot TV antenna they “honed in” on a signal by sliding a wad of tin foil up and down the antenna wire. Doing that only brought in three stations. It also made his dad fall off the roof while trying to redirect the antenna. He wasn’t injured, just crushed the rose bush.

“From the technology standpoint,” Clendenin said, “it takes me three remotes to turn on my TV.” That’s the one thing that won’t change any time soon.

Black doctors see hope in TV’s ‘Doc McStuffins’

By Lynn Elber Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A pig-tailed girl whose favorite accessory is a pink stethoscope has become a symbol of pride and hope for black women in medicine and the daughters they want to inspire.

Doc McStuffins, the African-American title character of an animated TV series for children, dreams of becoming an M.D. and, for now, runs a cheerful home clinic for stuffed animals and dolls.

“I haven’t lost a toy yet!” Doc exclaims as she hugs a blue dinosaur in need of attention.

For Dr. Myiesha Taylor, who watches Disney Channel’s “Doc McStuffins” with her 4-year-old, Hana, the show sends a much-needed message to minority girls about how big their ambitions can be.

“It’s so nice to see this child of color in a starring role, not just in the supporting cast. It’s all about her,” Taylor said. “And she’s an aspiring intellectual professional, not a singer or dancer or athlete.”

So Taylor sent a message back, creating an online collage featuring an image of the buoyant Doc encircled by photos of 131 black women who are Doc’s real life-counterparts, most garbed in their scrubs or doctor’s coats.

“We are trailblazers,” Taylor proclaimed on her website. “We are women of color. We are physicians.

We ARE role-models. We are Doc McStuffins all grown up!”

For black women whose own wish to practice medicine came true, the show is welcome affirmation. The doctors shown in the collage are graduates of schools including Harvard, Yale and Stanford and work in a range of specialties such as neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery and psychiatry. Taylor is a board-certified emergency room physician.

According to the American Medical Association’s “Physician Characteristics and Distribution in the U.S., 2012 Edition,” there were 18,533 black female physicians in 2010, or less than 2 percent of a total of 985,375 U.S. doctors, including nearly 300,000 female

The character Doc McStuffins with Stuffy in a scene from Disney Junior’s animated series ‘Doc McStuffins.’ The show is about a 6-year-old girl who runs and operates a clinic for broken toys and worn-out stuffed animals out of the playhouse in her backyard. physicians. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, blacks make up 12.3 percent of the population at about 40 million, with more than half of them women.

“When we made her an AfricanAmerican girl, we hoped it would be a positive role model that wasn’t really out there and would be great for little girls,” said series creator Chris Nee, who said she was encouraged by Disney from the start to create Doc as a minority character. “What has been surprising is the strength of the reaction and that it’s from adults.”

She hopes the series resonates with all the girls who watch it, she added, citing worrisome studies that females start to develop negative attitudes about science at a young age.

Dr. Leah Backhus, 38, appreciates Doc and more in the show. A cardiothoracic surgeon at the University of Washington and mom to daughter Sydney, 7, and son Ryan, 5, Backhus values the reflection of her profession and her family, with a husband who takes a big share of responsibility for housework.

“It’s incredibly reassuring for Sydney to see that and know that her family sits into the general definition of what family can be like,” Backhus said. “It’s not so unique. It’s something really pretty cool.”

The show’s positive depiction of an

African-American family, so rare for children’s TV, can have a “tremendous impact,” she added.

Diversity has blossomed in kids’ TV in recent years, with minority characters part of series including Nickelodeon’s “Dora the Explorer” and “Ni Hao, Kai-lan,” Disney’s “Handy Manny” and “Shake It Up,” and PBS Kids’ “Maya & Miguel” and “Word Girl.”

“Doc McStuffins,” which is produced for children ages 2 to 7 by Ireland-based Brown Bag Films and airs on the Disney Channel and on the new 24-hour Disney Junior channel, recently was renewed for its second season. Doc is voiced by Kiara Muhammad, with Loretta Devine in the cast as a smart plush hippo named Hallie.

Taylor, whose family with husband William Schlitz also includes daughter Haley, 9, and son Ian, 6, wants even more from children’s TV. She sees too few characters of color in starring roles and too many black characters who aspire to entertainment, sports or fashion industry success, not education and a career that benefits others.

Children need to see an alternate to LeBron and Beyonce, she said: “There’s not enough imagery on television to show kids and their parents there are other paths to follow.”

‘Sell This House’ returns on A&E

June 15-21, 2012 TV CROSSWORD TV CROSSWORD

By By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: Will “Sell This House” return?

A: Sort of. After a long run as “Sell This House,” the A&E series was retooled as “Sell This House: Extreme” last year. A new, 11-episode “Extreme” season begins at noon July 7. A&E says the new episodes will be “bigger than ever” as the team tackles “massive renovations” to get homes sold. Tanya Memme returns as host, with construction expert Charlie Frattini and a new designer, Daniel Kucan.

Q: I have viewed a movie starring Kevin Costner as an instructor for U.S. Coast Guard “rescue swimmers” on TNT and USA several times. Unfortunately I have always missed the opening minutes and never saw the title or actors. Amazingly this is not listed as one of his films on the Internet. What is the title and year produced? Who played his star pupil Jake Fisher and his girlfriend?

A: Amazingly, I saw it listed in several of Costner’s filmographies, including the one on his website.

That’s “The Guardian,” from 2006.

Ashton Kutcher played Fisher, and Melissa Sagemiller was Fisher’s girlfriend, Emily Thomas.

Q: What happened to the TV show “Brothers and Sisters” that was on ABC for years? Sally Field was the main star and I don’t remember ever seeing a finale or was it just canceled?

A: The series, which also starred Calista Flockhart and Rachel Griffiths, had its last new telecast in May 2011 after a five-season run. The last episode was not officially a series finale — the series was formally canceled a bit later — and some plot threads were left unfinished. On the other hand, the show had been in ratings jeopardy enough that it ended on a note that could serve as a conclusion, with the characters dancing happily at a wedding and a summing-up comment by Nora (Field’s character).

The final season — in fact, the entire series — is on DVD, as well as by streaming video on Netflix and
