On the Edge of the Weekend

Arthur Towata speaks to students in an Edwardsville High School history class.

When freedom is taken away

By MATT WINTE Of The Edge Most people have heard stories from those who fought in World War II or the people who suffered in concentration camps in Germany, but not often enough do people get to hear the stories of those who were held captive in the United States.

Edwardsville High School students in Jon Parkin’s Modern World History class were afforded this opportunity recently when Arthur Towata, a Japanese-American artist based in Alton, came and spoke about his experiences in the Manzanar Internment Camp during World War II. Born in 1933 in Los Angeles, Towata lived in Santa Monica and remembers a happy childhood in southern California.

“I did all kinds of things because, I guess I was free to do so,” Towata said. “What was life then?

Oh gosh, life to me was freedom.”

Building balsa wood airplanes, watching cars getting gas at the filling station, visiting a local nursery and general mischief were some of the activities that filled Towata’s days as a child.

Everything changed on Dec. 7, 1941, when the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor.

After the formal declaration of war was made against the empire of Japan, the United States began to round up and place Japanese-Americans into internment camps.

“For their safety,” was the message shared by the Japanese elders when members of the Japanese community asked why this was happening, said Towata.

Letters were distributed to over 110,000 Japanese-Americans notifying them they had to pack up their belongings and relocate to an unknown place.

“There was two groups. One group of individuals had a very short time to get rid of their things or put them in storage. My mother belonged to a United Methodist Church. The United Methodist people came and helped us.

So, two weeks after the first order came out (the family was moved to an internment camp). Some people only had 48 or 72 hours, we had two weeks,” Towata said.

Towata and his family were given two weeks to prepare for the relocation.

When the notice came out, Towata began selling many of the family’s possessions not being stored or taken with them.

“I made $187. That was all we had. The banks were closed to the Japanese. So things were rough, but I didn’t know what rough really meant,” Towata said.

Alton man spent part of his youth in an internment camp The issue many of the Japanese faced while trying to sell some of their possessions was the fact many Americans told others not to buy from them.

“They can’t take it with them, so they’re going to leave it here so we will have the first choice,” Towata said. “There wasn’t anything they could do about it.”

For the people who put their possessions into storage, it wasn’t uncommon to come back and find it all gone.

With the two weeks over, Towata found himself at the Manzanar Internment camp, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California’s Owens Valley, approximately 230 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

A train took Towata to the internment camp, where he was a part of one of the last groups placed in the camp.

Towata’s father was taken to a separate camp and was never seen by his family again.

Manzanar covered approximately 540 acres with 36 blocks of tarpaper barracks with apartments for each family. The camp also had mess halls, communal latrines, laundry rooms, recreation halls, school buildings, churches, a cemetery, post office, chicken and hog farms along with other facilities common in most cities. The camp was surrounded with barbed wire fence and watch towers manned by military police.

Gun fire was common place in order to discourage escape.

Towata explained multiple families would share a barrack with walls covered in black tar paper, a memory still very strong in his mind.

“Everything was a black background. That is because of that tarpaper. All I saw was that black tarpaper. I can still smell it, too,” Towata said.

The temperature was generally hot, with winds blowing the sand and dirt quite common. During winter, snowfall and temperatures in between 30 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit were the norm.

In terms of clothes and shoes the Japanese only had the clothes and shoes they came in with.

“Layers of clothes, I did wear layers of clothes.

It’s not that I needed it, but it was whatever you could take, so you just put on all of the clothes you can and you looked like a sumo wrestler,” Towata said.

The government provided no clothes or shoes for them, but did give out blankets, straw, and a thin sheet of canvas to put on the bed.

Food was provided by the government, but the quality was poor along with the preparation.

“Japanese guys have a little tenacity of being

braggadocios and when they would ask ‘if anybody could help preparing the meal,’ one guy would say, ‘I can help, I’ve seen my wife prepare meals for 35 years. It was terrible. It was the kind of meal you experienced and hoped you never came across it again,” Towata said.

Common food served at the camp included hot dogs that were burnt on the outside but still raw on the inside, cabbage beginning to turn brown mixed with rice. None of it was particularly good.

“Not visually appetizing, but if you’re hungry you will eat,” Towata said.

Even though the people were transported to the camp under the guise of keeping them safe, there was still a great deal of distrust of the Japanese, even the ones born in the United States. To maintain control, a limit of six was placed on how many adults could be in a room together.

Being stuck in the camp there was nothing really to do, which put a premium on being able to entertain yourself. If you couldn’t, you were in trouble Towata said.

Despite being fenced in, Towata tried not to dwell on this aspect of his time at the camp but focused on the freedom he had within the camp.

“It was a camp where you could be as free as you wanted to be as long as you didn’t think about the borders,” Towata said.

Towata spent about two and half years in Manzanar. Later, he was sent to another camp called Tule Lake.

As the war drew to an end, the people in the camps were asked what they were going to do once the war was over. If they said they were going back to Japan, they were sent to Tule Lake and seen as anti-American because they were returning to Japan.

“I lost everything in the United States because of the camp, and I had property assigned to me in Japan so I was going to try to reclaim my property in Japan,” Towata said.

Towata, an SIUE alum and former professor and artist who works mainly with pottery, has taken his experiences in the camps and channeled them into his work, which is well known for its use of textures.

“I always wondered why I loved rough textures, how I feel so comfortable with it,” Towata said. “It was because I was in Manzanar and I was having my free dreams and things. I was absorbing all of it.”

For Towata, getting to share his story means the possibility of arousing curiosity and

October 17, 2013

creating awareness of the fact this could happen anywhere.

Having Towata come and speak to Parkin’s class came from the fact he is always looking for projects that cross over into other disciplines.

And as the number of people who were alive and experienced World War II first hand are dwindling, so are the stories.

“It’s an African proverb that says, when an older person passes away you’re losing a library of knowledge. Everyone’s experiences are unique and different. When I think back on my own life, the influences that have shaped me as a person. I just want people to appreciate how much is out there,” Parkin said.

Getting Towata into the classroom was also made possible by the Illinois World War II Classroom Project.

The Illinois World War II classroom project was started after the construction of the World War II Memorial. There was money remaining and the veterans wanted to do something with education, said Julie Miener, assistant grant coordinator for the Illinois World War II Classroom Project.

According to the World War II Illinois Classroom Project website the program has three goals : 1. To provide students the opportunity, training and equipment to do personal interviews and capture WWII Veteran and WWII Home Front experiences organized around an inquiry-based, digital-story telling learning experiences.

2. To provide students with authentic connections which foster a deeper understanding and knowledge of the overall purpose and sacrifices made by the “Greatest Generation,” their families and their communities during the course of World War II. (1939-1945) 3. To digitally preserve the personal stories of the remaining Illinois WWII veterans and persons who served and sacrificed during this period and to also submit these stories to the U.S. Library of Congress’s Veterans History Project at www.loc.gov/vets/about.html.

“When you can sit next to somebody like this the impact it has – that intergenerational connection is made,” Miener said.

Since the project’s inception in 2007, over 400 stories have been collected on the website and over 300 have been submitted to the Library of Congress as a part of the Veterans History Project.

Dunham returning to St. Charles The nation’s number one comedian Jeff Dunham and his beloved cast of characters announce the kick off of the winter leg of their 2013 “Disorderly Conduct” worldwide t o u r. T h e w i n t e r 2 0 1 3 / 2 0 1 4 international concert series begins on December 26, 2013 in Toledo, OH and continues through February 28, 2014 in Champaign.

IL. Dunham is scheduled to appear at the Family Arena in St. Charles on Feb. 7.

Tickets are available through MetroTix.com or by calling 1-314534-1111.

Fans all over the world can look forward to a new jam-packed show with more laughs than ever before. Dunham’s famed troupe of sidekicks are back: Walter the G ru m p y R e t i re e , A c h m e d t h e Dead Terrorist, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J, the manic

purple creature Peanut, the spicy pepper from south of the border José Jalapeño, and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself.

Dunham and his comedic sidekicks most recent Comedy Central one-hour special entitled “Minding the Monsters,” is the fifth in a string of recordbreaking specials. “Minding the Monsters” takes its audience into the ultimate haunted house where you can see Walter transform into something grumpier than he already is, watch Bubba J rise from the dead, meet Peanut’s alter ego, The Purple Avenger of the Night, and his spicy sidekick, and witness Achmed literally dressed to kill in an outfit that would terrify the most terrifying terrorist! It debuted on Comedy Central to 7.5 million viewers, making it the most watched special of the year for the network. Upon its release on DVD, it was the #1 comedy DVD on Amazon.com and exceeded platinum sales within 6 days.

I t h a s a l re a d y re a c h e d t r i p l e platinum status.

The amazing rise of Jeff Dunham continues apace, with 2013 having seen Jeff continue to pack arena-sized venues.

Dunham and his sidekicks are preparing for their sixth trip to Europe this fall, stopping in the U.K., Germany, and Belgium.

In 2013, fans will also get the chance to see Achmed the Dead Terrorist like he's never been seen before! This December, Jeff Dunham will premiere his very first animated feature “Achmed Saves America,” starring the world’s most beloved, failed badguy! In this full length animated movie, Achmed is having a very b a d d a y. . . A f t e r a c c i d e n t a l l y blowing himself up, the world's most incompetent suicide bomber finds himself whisked away from his homeland by a giant bald eagle and dropped off in... Americaville, USA. There, mistaken by the kind-hearted Wi l s o n f a m i l y f o r a v i s i t i n g French exchange student, "The Little Skeleton That Couldn't" bumblingly plots to destroy the town and all of its "infidels".

But, once he's exposed to the sweet things in life -- including

all-you-can-eat buffets and frozen yogurt -- Achmed's campaign of hate turns into a patriotic All-American lovefest.

The phenomenal international success of Dunham and his cohorts have been driven by his Comedy Central specials, which set global records for both ratings and sales. Dunham’s 4th Comedy Central TV special “Controlled Chaos,” premiered to a staggering 8.3 million viewers overall making it the most viewed cable show that night.

The global TV event enjoyed a never-before simultaneous same day worldwide debut in a dozen countries. Dunham continued to break ratings records at the end of 2011, when The Bio Channel’s premiere of Jeff Dunham: “Birth of a Dummy” became the network’s top rated telecast ever.

No wonder The New York Times Magazine declared Jeff Dunham “the most successful comedian working in America.” Dunham was recently named Pollstar ’s #1 Comedy Tour in North America for three years running as well as their Top Worldwide Tour for two years in a row.

People People planner Edison's offers haunted laser tag Edison’s Entertainment Complex’s “Gaia’s Quest” laser tag arena has been transformed into “Haunted Quest” laser tag for the month of October. The 3500 square foot arena has been outfitted with various Halloween-themed decorations like spider webs, animated g h o s t s , a n d o t h e r n e o n p ro p s that pop in the black light environment. After 7:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays through November 1, “Haunted Quest” comes to life as live actors in spooky costumes lurk within the fog.

Edison’s “Haunted Quest” laser tag is designed to liven up the experience for any guest who would typically enjoy a haunted house, so guests who would prefer the standard experience are encouraged to visit Sunday – Thursday or before 7pm on Friday and Saturday.

“We want Edison’s laser tag to be accessible to both kids and adults alike, so that’s why we’ve chosen to limit the live actors’ time to after 7:00 PM on Fridays a n d S a t u r d a y s , ” s a i d Tr a v i s Saathoff, Assistant Operations Manager.

There is no extra cost for guests to experience to “Haunted Quest,” and Edison’s standard laser tag pricing can be found on their website at www.edisonsfun. com/laser-tag.

Voted “North America’s Best New Entertainment Center of 2013” by Tourist Attractions and Parks Magazine, Edison’s is the St. Louis area’s newest home of Genius Level Fun for Everyone!

• Trick Shot Challenge – Via three challenge flags per team, each coach can challenge the other team to make a trick shot.

If the team makes the trick shot, they earn five points. If they miss, the other team receives five points.

With a roster showcasing stars s u c h a s S p e c i a l K D a l e y, B i g Easy Lofton, Flight Time Lang, Hi-Lite Bruton and Dizzy Grant – plus female stars TNT Maddox, T- Ti m e B r a w n e r a n d S w e e t J Ekworomadu – the Globetrotters’ one-of-a-kind family show features mesmerizing ball handling, an assortment of trick shots, high-flying dunks and precise timing – all with an array of comedy guaranteed to entertain the young and the young at heart.

Music Ivers bringing Irish sounds to SIUE Fiddle champion to appear on Oct. 23

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge The next SIUE Arts & Issues performance is sure to make your feet tap and soul dance when Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul take the Morris University Center's Meridian Ballroom stage at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 23.

Ivers, a nine time all-Ireland Fiddle Champion and original musical star of Riverdance, will change the way you think about the violin and will captivate a wide range of audiences.

The daughter of Irish immigrants, Ivers grew up in the Bronx of New York City surrounded by her Irish roots and deeply rooted in traditional Irish music since the age of eight. She learned to play the violin in her youth from an Irish music teacher and she competed annually in Ireland at fiddle competitions. Ivers would win nine All-Ireland fiddle championships, a tenth on tenor banjo and over 30 championship medals in her youth Also a gifted student, Ivers graduated magna cum laude in Mathematics from Iona College before embarking on her career in music.

Ivers has had an incredible musical career. She has played with the London Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center and the Boston Pops Orchestra, The Chieftains, Sting, Hall & Oates, Al Di Meola, and for presidents and royalty around the world. She's the founding member of Cherish the Ladies, is a Grammy awardwinning musician, and has written movie soundtracks including the Gangs of New York. But many may recognize Ivers from her stunning performances playing the fiddle with Riverdance.

Reviews of her performances all agree that it's a show not to be missed. Billboard Magazine called Ivers a "sensation" while The New York Times referred to her as "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin.” And The Irish Times said "She electrifies

the crowd with a dazzling show of virtuoso playing."

Ivers' recording credits include over 80 contemporary and traditional albums, and she is hailed as one of the great innovators and pioneers in the Celtic and World music.

In 1999 Ivers established a touring production to present the music that now encompasses Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul.

According to Ivers' online biography, she also recently has created “Beyond the Bog Road,“ a multimedia concert of music, story, dance and film. “The concert celebrates the journey of the Irish immigrant and showcases how Irish music and dance have integrated with various roots music of North America to create one of the richest cross-fertilizations of folk music styles in the world. It is a celebration of the immigrant’s journey – it is the story of the Irish immigrant’s impact on America and America’s impact on the Irish immigrant,” her biography notes.

Ivers latest CD from “Beyond the Bog Road” is scheduled to be released in 2013, and Ivers currently tours throughout the year in performing art centers, symphony halls and festivals world-wide.

The Edwardsville-area is undoubtedly in for a musical treat when Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul, takes the Arts & Issues stage on Oct. 23. Their performance is sponsored by Scott Credit Union.

Tickets for Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul, as well as the remaining 2013-14 season performances, are on sale now.

Tickets may be purchased at the Dunham Hall Fine Arts Box Office from 8 a.m. until noon, the Information Booth at the Morris University Center, by calling 618650-5774, or online at artsandissues. com. General admission is $27.

Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul will appear at SIUE.

STAGES announces 2014 lineup STAGES ST. LOUIS proudly announces its dream-filled 28th season! The American Dream is explored through fame, success, and family during the 2014 season. It begins with They're Playing Our Song, a songfilled love story based on one of the most prolific American song writing teams of the 20th Century, Academy Award-winning Marvin Hamlisch, and Grammy Awardwinning lyricist, Carol Bayer Sager. The seasoncontinues with the Pulitzer Prizewinning How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, a true pursuit of the American Corporate Dream. The grand finale is the Tony Award-winning Fiddler On The Roof, the definitive musical about reaching for the American Dream. The season hits its first note May 30 and runs through October 5, 2014. In addition, the 2014 season Theatre for Young Audiences production will feature Disney's Sleeping Beauty, beginning June 18.

They're Playing Our Song May 30 - June 29 Meet Vernon, a neurotic, witty composer and Sonia, a wacky, free spirited lyricist who form an unlikely partnership to write the next great love song. A rocky and hilarious start leaves them struggling to find their creative harmony - and romance was definitely not what they were expecting! But a series of

unlikely events lead to a match made in musical comedy heaven. They're Playing Our Song is inspired by the real life love story of Academy Award winning composer, Marvin Hamlisch (The Way We Were, The Sting) and Grammy Award winning lyricist Carole Bayer Sager ("That's What Friends Are For", "Nobody Does It Better" ). Topping off the jazzy score is a laugh-a-minute book by America's leading funny man, Tony Award Winner Neil Simon (Barefoot in the Park, The Odd Couple). A sweet and sophisticated musical romp, They're Playing Our Song will have you singing along from curtain up to curtain down!

How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying July 18 - August 17 Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem that took Broadway by storm winning both the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize, How to Succeed...boasts an exhilarating score by Frank Loesser including "I Believe in You," "Brotherhood of Man," and "The Company Way." Bustling with humor, romance and song, this swingin' 60s send-up of Madison Avenue charts the spectacular rise (in record time!) of an ambitious young

window washer to VP of Advertising! An irreverent and tuneful romp, jam-packed with sly, swift, and sharp jabs to the funny bone, How To Succeed.... is a sure fire midsummer tonic for the musical theatre lover!

Fiddler On The Roof September 5 - October 5 One of the most touching creations in the history of Broadway, Fiddler On The Roof exudes a warmth and humor unlike any other American Musical. Set in politically tumultuous 1905 Russia, Tevye the milkman must adjust to the changing world around him, as each of his five daughters move further away from spiritual tradition. An inspiring and universal tale of heritage, love, and acceptance, Fiddler On The Roof features such heartfelt and beloved songs as "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were A Rich Man," and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker." Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Fiddler On The Roof is a musical masterpiece that will last forever in your heart!

Disney's Sleeping Beauty June 18 - June 29 Following in the footsteps of Disney's Cinderella, STAGES brings another beloved Princess to glorious life! Born into a wondrous world of beauty, song, and privilege, sweet Princess Aurora cannot escape the spell cast

October 17, 2013

upon her by the evil sorceress Maleficent.

By sunset on her sixteenth birthday, the young princess is fated to prick her finger on the cursed spindle and fall into a long deep slumber, only to be awakened by true love's kiss. With a little hocus-pocus from the enchanted wands of the adoring fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, the spellbound Prince Phillip rescues his love and all their dreams come true! Full of breathtaking dance and the glorious music of Peter Tchaikovsky, Disney's Sleeping Beauty is a guaranteed treat for the entire family!

STAGES ST. LOUIS is the region's foremost not-for-profit company committed to preserving and advancing the art form of Musical Theatre through excellence in performance and education. In 2014, STAGES celebrates its 28th year of producing Broadway-quality theatre, presenting 124 performances from May through October to nearly 50,000 patrons.

STAGES opened in 1987 with a budget of $50,000 and a part-time seasonal staff of eight. Today, the company employs a full-time staff of more than 30 overseeing a budget of nearly $4 million. During the performance season, an additional 150 actors and crew members bring the productions to life.

Music Tuning in Tribute to Peter Martin planned The Sheldon presents Peter Martin Music Live, “A Blue Note Tribute� featuring guitarist Peter Bernstein, Saturday, November 2 at 8 p.m. in the perfect acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall. Jazz pianist Peter Martin kicks off his concert season at The Sheldon with music, and LP cover visuals from the legendary Blue Note Records catalog, featuring New York City musicians Peter Bernstein (guitarist), Reuben Rogers (bass) and Ulysses Owens, Jr. (drums). In its third year, the series has been praised as some of the best jazz concerts in St. Louis, and described by the St. Louis Post Dispatch as “the kind of crowdpleasing event that proves that, when performed with energy and style, jazz can indeed connect with folks who aren’t necessarily diehard fans of the music.�

Raised by parents who are both classical musicians, Martin began studying violin and piano at age three. After graduating from high school, he received the Presidential Scholar in the Arts award, and attended The Juilliard School in New York on scholarship, studying with Martin Canin, until moving to New Orleans in 1990. While in New Orleans, Martin honed his skills working with key musicians such as Nicholas Payton, Alvin Batiste, Brian Blade and Victor Goines. Martin has an active solo career and has toured and recorded with artists such as Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, Dianne Reeves, Christian McBride and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. He has also performed with the Berlin Philharmonic with Simon Rattle, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, as well as numerous other orchestras around the world.

Family Focus The Missouri Historical Museum will pay tribute to 1968 For The Edge

T

he year 1968 was a turning point for a generation coming of age and a nation at war, and the aftermath can still be felt today. The Missouri History Museum welcomes The 1968 Exhibit Oct. 5, 2013 – Jan. 5, 2014, an exhibition that explores the causes and legacies of the year’s non-stop barrage of events.

Developed by the Minnesota History Center, in partnership with the Atlanta History Center, the Chicago History Museum and the Oakland Museum of California, “The 1968 Exhibit” is an ambitious, multimedia exhibit that looks at how the events of the year have fueled a persistent, if often contradictory sense of identity for the people who were there and those who came after.

“Discussions about the impact and legacy of 1968 are being had at dinner tables, in classrooms and on the streets of America,” says Tom Brokaw, honorary chair of “The 1968 Exhibit,” former anchor and managing editor of the “NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw,” and author of “Boom! Talking About the Sixties.” “It is time to document this watershed year through the voices of the people who experienced it firsthand, and to hear from the next generation about what it means to them.”

Organized chronologically by the months of the year, the 5,000-squarefoot exhibit will transport visitors back to 1968. The experience begins in January with a Huey helicopter that has “landed” in a living room.

The sights and sounds of this media-saturated age fill the exhibit and stories from the people who were there are shared throughout.

Three interactive “lounges” focus on music, design, and movies and television.

“It was quite a year for indelible television,” says James Comisar, curator of The Comisar Collection and one of the major resources for artifacts in the exhibit. “We all have our own great memories bundled in with classic TV shows and characters. Objects from

‘Star Trek,’ ‘Mission: Impossible,’ ‘Laugh-In’ and ‘The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour’ provide another personal connection to this evocative year and exhibition.”

Continuing the Dialogue Visitors can use mobile devices to access an online calendar of 1968 events, film footage and oral history excerpts. They can also share links and make comments via social networking sites. A kiosk in the gallery allows access to the same content.

Compilation playlists of popular music, movies and television programs will be available on iTunes and Netflix.

A website at www.the1968exhibit. org provides a place for ongoing discussions about the lasting impact of the year.

Religion Many Jews not tied to actual religion NEW YORK (AP) — A new survey of U.S. Jews has confirmed some of the community’s worst fears: One in five American Jews say they have no religion, and their ranks appear to be growing.

Jews in this category feel pride in being Jewish and a strong sense of belonging to the greater Jewish community. But they say their connection is based mostly on culture and ancestry, not necessarily on belief in God or observance of religious law. A large majority said remembering the Holocaust, being ethical and advocating for social justice formed the core of their Jewish identity.

The report, released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project, is an in-depth look at how American Jewish identity has changed in recent decades. The findings track closely with a 2012 Pew report that found

about 20 percent of Americans in general said they had no religious affiliation, an increase from 15 percent in the last five years.

Secularism has long been part of American Jewish life, which includes movements such as the Society for Humanistic Judaism founded in Detroit in the 1960s. However, the Pew survey found the percentage of American Jews who say they are atheist, agnostic or have no particular religion is highest among younger generations.

About one-third of Jews born after 1980 say they have no religion, compared to just 7 percent for those born before 1927. And the report found evidence that the numbers of Jews with no religion could continue to rise. Among Jews married after 2000, nearly six in 10 chose a nonJewish spouse, making them less likely to raise their children Jewish or join Jewish organizations.

The report contains no definitive finding on the overall size of the American Jewish population.

Estimates can vary significantly depending on what definition is used for who can be considered Jewish. Controversy still surrounds the 2000-2001 National Jewish Population Survey, a major study which some academics and others insist undercounted the number of U.S. Jews.

I n t h i s l a t e s t P e w s u r v e y, re s e a rc h e r s g e n e r a l l y p l a c e d American Jews into two categories: those who say their religion is Jewish — dubbed “Jews by religion” — and those who say they are Jewish but say they have no particular religion, called “Jews of no religion.”

According to these categories, Pew estimated that the U.S. is home to 6.7 million Jews.

The survey’s authors also provided a wide range of higher

and lower estimates using broader and narrower definitions of Jewish identity.

The survey confirmed that liberal

Reform Judaism is the largest movement within American Jewish life, with membership of about onethird of all U.S. Jews.

"Enough Said"

Beholding the late James Gandolfini doing a lovely job in a change-of-pace role significantly intensifies the already funny/ sad aspects of “Enough Said,” an engaging comic romance set amid the minefields that imperil starting up mid-life relationships. The title notwithstanding, writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s look at a 50-ish divorced mother with a daughter about to leave home is never at a loss for words, many of them quite amusing, making the film a leading contender for best girls’ night movie of the season. For their part, men will enjoy watching Gandolfini in a relaxed, self-effacing, regular guy performance.

Employing to her advantage a more traditional story structure than is her norm, Holofcener builds her snappy social comedy around a key piece of information that her heroine doesn’t know, that the guy she’s beginning to date is the muchdisparaged ex of her new best friend. This sort of trick has provided the trigger for rich farcical doings going back at least as far as Shakespeare, and Holofcener uses it as a springboard to look at a raft of self-absorbed, often myopic LA Westside types who have it together in some ways but not in others.

Almost everyone here is divorced with an ex living nearby and one kid who’s about to fly the coop for college. Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a massage therapist who lugs her portable table to her clients’ homes and is preparing emotionally for the looming moment when her smart daughter Ellen (Tracey Fairway) heads East for school. A crowded cocktail party provides a convenient way to start stirring the pot, as well as for the writer to show her knack for lively, acerbic banter, much of it coming from Eva, who early on decides that there’s no one there she finds attractive. The man she’s just met, Albert (Gandolfini), agrees.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “crude and sexual content, comic violence, language and partial nudity.”

RUNNING TIME: : 93 minutes.

"Don Jon"

Jon Martello’s relentless libido has a comic math to it.

At the club, Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his pals rate girls on a scale of one to “a dime.” He keeps a weekly tally of both his conquests and his far more numerous — and to him more rewarding — porn-aided masturbations. And being a good Catholic boy, every Sunday, he counts up his sins and receives back from the priest his neat sum of Our Fathers and Hail Marys. (He recites them while working out.)

His life is a circle of replenishing lust, a ritual of superficial pleasure that adds up to robotic emptiness. Some like it hot; Jon (“Don,” as in Don Juan, to his friends) needs it hot.

Even his most attractive catches leave him unsatisfied, and he sneaks out of bed to his laptop. Real sex doesn’t measure up to the fantasy of online pornography that lets him “lose himself.”

But “Don Jon,” the writing-directing debut of GordonLevitt, equals something quite substantial: a speedy little comedy about not just sex addiction but modern lives wasted on shallow gratification. There are other contemporary cravings, too: A big-screen TV dominates family meals at his parents’ house (Tony Danza and Glenne Headly shouting back-and-forth like a sitcom couple), where Jon’s younger sister (Brie Larson) pecks away at her smartphone.

Jon’s compulsive routine (echoing the “gym-tanlaundry” of “the Situation” from “The Jersey Shore,” a clear inspiration) is broken when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson, in full sex bomb). She requires the “long game” of dating and family-meeting before sleeping with Jon, but he judges her worth it. Their first date is a sparring match of Jersey accents, a dueling “Saturday Night Live” sketch.

"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2"

It’s not too much of a spoiler to tell you that, because without the FLDSMDFR, more precisely known as the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator, there would hardly be reason for a sequel to the sweet and entertaining 2009 family film, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

And if “Cloudy 2,” which ups the zany quotient in the continued adventures of Flint and his food-producing FLDSMDFR (we just love the name, so we’ll keep saying it) lacks the heart and fresh feel of the original, it almost makes up for it in gorgeous, color-popping visuals and in its most important new creation: the Foodimals.

Like we said, almost.

But first, what are Foodimals? Your kids probably know already, and pretty soon, they’re gonna be asking for their Foodimals multivitamins. So you’d better educate yourself.

Watermelephants. Bananostriches. Shrimpanzees.

Tacodiles. Cheesepiders. Yes, the remnants of FLDSMDFR’s food storm have turned into living things.

To recap, at the end of the last movie, Flint (voiced by Bill Hader) had saved the world by heroically deactivating his over-performing FLDSMDFR, with the help of his brainy friend and sort-of love interest, Sam (Anna Faris), and others including “Baby” Brent (Andy Samberg), loyal monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), and Flint’s dad Tim (James Caan).

The sequel, directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, begins precisely eight minutes later, with Flint’s Swallow Falls facing a huge cleanup job from that giant storm created by, yup, the FLDSMDFR. Or, in one of the first of the movie’s many, many puns: a disaster “of epic portions.”

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “mild rude humor.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Runner Runner"

A story like that at the heart of “Runner Runner,” about a young American gambler who gets sucked way above his head into the criminal doings of a big-time offshore operator, would have found its ideal life as a tough, punchy, black-andwhite programmer back in the 1950s. Today, it would have been most viable as a grandiose character study done on an operatic scale by a filmmaker like Martin Scorsese or Michael Mann. What’s actually up onscreen in this vaguely ambitious but tawdry melodrama falls into an in-between no man’s land that endows it with no distinction whatsoever, a work lacking both style and insight into the netherworld it seeks to reveal. Despite an intriguing setup and Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake heading the cast, this Fox release holds a losing box-office hand.

The opening of the script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (“Solitary Man,” “Oceans 13”) combines with Timberlake’s presence to suggest a somewhat less exceptional variation on “The Social Network’s” focus on maverick entrepreneurialism in the Ivy League. Threatened with expulsion from Princeton unless he shuts down his online gambling site, finance grad student Richie Furst (Timberlake), with nothing now to lose, heads for Costa Rica determined to stick it to the undisputed king of computer gambling, Ivan Black (Affleck).

"Gravity"

In an age when we’re able to consume content so many different ways — and that’s a good thing, mostly — let’s declare right now that there’s only one truly correct way to experience “Gravity,” Alfonso Cuaron’s thrilling new space film.

In a theater. On a huge screen. And in 3-D. Yes, even for all you 3-D naysayers — we hear you, but this is the movie you HAVE to see in 3-D. And please, no matter how many months or years pass, don’t watch this film on your little smartphone.

If you’ve seen the heart-pounding trailer, you’ll know that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play astronauts who experience a traumatic accident in space. You may also know about the extraordinary special effects used to create this weightless cinematic world — so extraordinary that many are calling the film a landmark of the sci-fi genre.

But what you can’t know, until you’re in the theater, is just how much you’ll feel like you’re up there in space, feeling its vastness, perhaps even feeling cold. And how you might let yourself forget, momentarily, that this movie wasn’t shot on location. And how you’ll ask yourself, how did they DO this?

And how you’ll then forget the question, because you’ll be caught up once again in this 90-minute thrill ride.

GRAVITY: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language.”

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Four stars out of four.

"Captain Phillips"

If you saw Paul Greengrass’s “United 93,” a terrifying depiction of one of the doomed flights on 9/11, you know this director can evoke a harrowing, real-life event like few others.

In fact, you may not have recovered yet from the experience.

So it’s no surprise that Greengrass has produced another expertly crafted, documentary-style film based on a real event — the 2009 hijacking of a cargo ship by Somali pirates and the five-day standoff that ensued, with the ship’s American captain, Richard Phillips, held captive in a stifling covered lifeboat after offering himself as a hostage.

A major difference is that this movie has a happy ending — for the captain, anyway, who was rescued in a dramatic high-seas Navy sniper operation. Three of the overmatched attackers were killed; the fourth is in a U.S. prison.

More cinematically speaking, the difference is that “Captain Phillips” is a star vehicle. In some cases, this can detract from the sense of veracity of a truth-based film. Tom Hanks, though, delivers some of his finest work here, playing the Everyman role he does so well, in this case a fairly ordinary guy forced by circumstance to be a hero.

And yet “Captain Phillips” is a remarkably unsentimental film, with an emotional catharsis coming only at the very end, when we’re all ready for some kind of release. This is where Hanks digs deepest as an actor.

As for Hanks, his final moments are his best, as Phillips registers in an intensely personal way the cumulative effects of what he’s endured. It’s safe to say those moments will be what’s remembered most from this movie, and for a long time.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sustained intense sequences of menace, some violence with bloody images, and substance use.”

RUNNING TIME: 134 minutes.

"Runner Runner" is uncompelling

BY TODD McCARTHY The Hollywood Reporter LOS ANGELES (AP) — A story like that at the heart of “Runner Runner,” about a young American gambler who gets sucked way above his head into the criminal doings of a big-time offshore operator, would have found its ideal life as a tough, punchy, black-andwhite programmer back in the 1950s. Today, it would have been most viable as a grandiose character study done on an operatic scale by a filmmaker like Martin Scorsese or Michael Mann. What’s actually up onscreen in this vaguely ambitious but tawdry melodrama falls into an in-between no man’s land that endows it with no distinction whatsoever, a work lacking both style and insight into the netherworld it seeks to reveal. Despite an intriguing setup and Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake heading the cast, this Fox release holds a losing box-office hand.

The opening of the script by Brian

Koppelman and David Levien (“Solitary Man,” “Oceans 13”) combines with Ti m b e r l a k e ’ s p r e s e n c e t o s u g g e s t a somewhat less exceptional variation on “The Social Network’s” focus on maverick entrepreneurialism in the Ivy League.

Threatened with expulsion from Princeton unless he shuts down his online gambling site, finance grad student Richie Furst (Timberlake), with nothing now to lose, heads for Costa Rica determined to stick it to the undisputed king of computer gambling, Ivan Black (Affleck).

Arriving during the boss’s annual blowout, the Midnight Black Expo, Richie cleverly scores an audience with the bodyguardfestooned Ivan. Lounging on his hero’s yacht, Richie brazenly accuses his relaxed host of cheating him on his site ... and Ivan readily admits it. In the film’s best-written scene, the older man affably agrees to reimburse the kid for his losses and then some. But, then again, Ivan can always use a smart, ballsy guy in

his operation, so maybe Richie would like to come work for him. Seven, maybe even eight figures a year beckon.

With Puerto Rican locations doubling for Costa Rica, the allure of Ivan’s world looks pretty tacky no matter how doused in money it is. With the help of a couple of other Yankee college boys who are given no character dimension whatsoever, Richie quickly learns the ropes and gets mixed signals from Ivan’s glamorous factotum Rebecca (Gemma Arterton), who may or may not be on exclusive reserve for the boss.

All goes swimmingly until, a third of the way in, Richie is kidnapped by none other than the FBI, whose local agent Shavers (Anthony Mackie) tries to coerce the kid into informing on Ivan’s business.

When Richie tells his boss what happened, Ivan waves it off, claiming it happens to everyone who works for him. But Ivan has a little unpleasantness of his own in store for his eager acolyte, as he forces him

to blackmail a top client into a continued business relationship, then starts using him as a bagman to pay off local authorities.

The overriding problem with the direction

by Brad Furman (“The Lincoln Lawyer,” “The Take”) is that it lacks a real pulse, a throb of excitement that pulls you into this unsavory world and will accept no resistance. Furman stuffs the screen with luxurious digs, fancy cars, cool boats, private jets and parties loaded with scantily clad women, but there’s no undercurrent, no intoxicating hook used to snare the audience, along with Richie, for the ride.

Beyond that, the drama’s final stretch, in which Richie must desperately try to turn the tables on his boss if he has a chance of escaping with his hide intact, charts arcane financial and strategic moves in such a rapid and superficial way that it’s impossible to know how, in any semblance of a real world, he can pull this off in almost no time at all.

"Gravity," "Parkland" both worth a look

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge It is rare that a movie so strongly captures my attention that I don't even bother to open my Reese's Pieces until mid-way through the picture. It was my great fortune last night to see not one such film, but two. And to be clear, I only had one bag of the delicious treat split between my double-feature. No one needs to eat that much peanut butter in one evening. My conquests were "Gravity" and "Parkland" and you need to see both right away.

"Gravity" made a big splash this weekend, breaking all October box office records and getting some of the best reviews that critics and fans alike can bestow upon a movie. I saw it on the biggest screen I could find and in 3D in order to pull out all the stops in my own analysis.

It's an amazing creation of technical filmmaking. Writer/director/ producer Alfonso Cuaron has given life to what James Cameron calls "the best space film ever made" and the director of "Avatar" and "Aliens" should know of which he speaks. I wouldn't necessarily disagree with the "King of the World," but I have a different end game.

When the anxiety-prone Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and the charming Lt. Matt Kowalski (George Clooney, turning up even his own charming level) must abort their repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope because of approaching space debris, we already know that the level of danger must be high.

The build-up has already been intense - and appropriately silent in outer space - because of lots of factors, including one of the five different coming attraction ads

that were created for the movie

by Warner Bros. Or maybe you just realized that every out of the ordinary occurrence outside our atmosphere is life or death. The choices for Stone and Kowalski quickly take that route and the shuttle, ISS, and Chinese Space Station, Tiangong-1, are all used to desperate effect for a last ditch effort of getting home to Earth. I liked "Gravity," but I liken it to a luxury car filled with garbage. Why create such a wondrous spectacle and then give it a plot with so little believability?

"Gravity" runs 108 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images, and brief strong language. I give this film three stars out of four.

••• "Parkland, "in the similar vein, is chock full of constant action and

intensity. This is especially true during the first thirty minutes which feature one of the most grisly and mysterious events in our nation's history. Parkland, you see, is the story of the everyday citizens of Dallas whose lives were indelibly marked by John Kennedy's assassination on November 22nd, 1963. It opens with Abraham Zapruder (Paul Giamatti) filming the shooting with his Super 8 camera and Dr. Jim Carrico's (Zac Efron) futilely heroic efforts to revive the President at Parkland Memorial Hospital just eight minutes later.

We're also treated to some of t h e m o re m u n d a n e a c t i v i t i e s involving Zapruder's film under the supervision of the Secret Service's Forrest Sorrels (Billy Bob Thornton), removal of seats from Air Force One for JFK's casket, and the FBI's (most notably Ron

October 17, 2013

Livingston) too-late notice of Lee Harvey Oswald (Jeremy Strong).

His brother (James Badge Dale) and mother (Jacki Weaver) are heavily featured and she steals both of her scenes. As someone who has long been infatuated with understanding this terrible series of events I find Parkland explosive and rewarding.

I even could have been heard muttering expletives of intrigue in my otherwise empty auditorium. In fact, I give this drama my highest word of recommendation when I say I can wait to read the book it's based upon: Four Days in November by Vincent Bugliosi.

"Parkland" runs 93 minutes and is rated PG-13 for bloody sequences of ER trauma procedures, some violent images and language, and smoking throughout.

I give this film three and a half stars out of four.

Travel Crown Center hotels receive updates For The Edge Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center and The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center recently announced its completion of a two-year $22 million renovation of both hotels including significant upgrades to Sheraton’s guest rooms and improvements to both Sheraton and Westin’s meeting rooms and lobbies. The hotel complex now offers a total of 1,454 guestrooms featuring Kansas City skyline views and 150,000 square feet of meeting space. The renovation to Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center is part of an ongoing effort to enhance Sheraton hotels across the globe, following the recently completed $6 billion brand-wide revitalization including $400 million in signature brand initiatives.

“Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center and The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center truly embody the best of both brands while offering meeting planners options for one-stop shopping for meetings of all sizes and experiences,” said Steve Shalit, general manager for the complex. “Thanks to Starwood’s support, we can provide the combined resources of two great brands to our clients. Plus, our Kansas City location, home to the country’s only WWI monument, Liberty Memorial, historic Union Station, Hallmark Corporation headquarters, lively jazz scene and famous barbecue, make it a destination worth visiting.”

The two Starwood-hotel branded complex now boasts 52 meeting rooms, 30 parlors, 21 breakout rooms with more than 1,000 square feet of space and 19 breakout rooms with 500 square feet of space. Two ballrooms with 17,487 square feet and 16,089 square feet each (both seating up to 2,000 people), and a third at 5,000 square feet as well as direct connection to the Crown Center Exhibition Hall, providing access to an additional 45,500 square feet, rounds-out the hotels’ event space. In fact, the complex has the largest hotel ballroom in Kansas City and is the only hotel attached to its own exhibit hall. These versatile meeting spaces give Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center and The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center the capacity to accommodate events of any size.

The center of the Sheraton’s renovated atrium-style lobby, now boasting signature amenities such as Link@Sheraton experienced with Microsoft lounge where guests can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi and printing is a copy of the original Rick Neblurg Ball Sculpture Chandelier. Shimmering above the lobby,

Adding to benefits for groups is the hotels’ convenient location in the heart of Hallmark’s Crown Center district. Guests can use “The Link,” a climate-controlled, glass-enclosed skywalk to access the famed Crown Center Shopping Center home to more than 60 shops, restaurants, live theaters, ice skating in the winter and the international headquarters of Hallmark Cards Inc. Restaurant options include The Brasserie, Spectators Bar & Grill and the Terrace as well as Crown Center favorites – the kid-friendly The Crayola Cafe, the fine dining American Restaurant, and Milanos offering Italian fare.

Travel Hiking one of Missouri's prettiest trails

By Tom Uhlenbrock Through MoStateParks.com The rocky trail leading to the top of Evans Knob will get your attention. But the reward is a panoramic view of the wooded hills of hardwoods and pines – a mosaic of color in fall - that make Hawn State Park one of Missouri’s prettiest parks.

The climb comes shortly after you begin hiking the Whispering Pines Trail, when walking clockwise.

The trail is 9.75 miles long and considered among the top hiking and backpacking trails in the state.

Runners-up would be the 11-mile Mudlick Trail at Sam A. Baker State Park and the 13-mile section of the Ozark Trail that links Taum Sauk Mountain and Johnson’s Shut-Ins state parks. Both are rugged hikes that can be done in a long day, or as an overnighter.

Missouri has been named the “Best Trails State” by American Tr a i l s , a n a t i o n a l , n o n p ro f i t organization working on behalf of the nation’s hiking, biking and riding trails. The award is presented every two years to the state that has made tremendous contributions to promote and improve its trail system.

Missouri State Parks has more than 230 trails in 58 parks and historic sites. A guide to all of them, “Trails of Missouri State Parks,” is available at MoStateParks.com and helps visitors choose a hiking trail based on their needs and skill levels.

For veteran outdoors enthusiasts, the first frost of fall signals the start of the hiking season. Autumn colors are coaxed out, and ticks and chiggers are chased away.

The season runs through winter, when leafless trees mean better views of the landscape, and extends into late spring, when woodland wildflowers bloom.

Hawn State Park is about an hour’s drive south of St. Louis off Interstate 55, on the west wide of the interstate from the town of Ste. Genevieve. On a crisp, sunny morning in mid-September, the purple asters and goldenrod were still in bloom, but the scarlet colors of the sumac and sassafras signaled the start of fall.

“A lot of people like Hawn because it has so many pine trees and lots of wildflowers,” says Ed Schott, the park’s superintendent.

“In spring, we have the wild azaleas that bloom. In fall, it’s beautiful with the colors of the oaks and aromatic sumac and hickories. In winter, we get lots of ice sculptures in the canyons and on the cliffs and bluffs. Summer ’s nice, just bring your bug spray.”

The park’s geology includes sandstone bluffs, where ferns and mosses grow in the moist overhangs. Pickle Creek has carved through the sandstone down to bedrock, exposing blue granite that forms pools and chutes in the shutins.

The wildlife includes deer, bobcat, coyote and turkey, and a variety of songbirds, including tanagers, indigo buntings and pine warblers.

“For people into birding, Hawn is an Audubon Important Area,” Schott says “Fall seems to be a good time to hear owls, and we have plenty of raptors, including redtailed hawks.”

The Whispering Pines Trail has two loops, forming a figure eight.

The North Loop is about six miles,

For The Edge

A view from the South Loop Whispering Pine Trail. and the South Loop is about four.

The paths on both loops often are softened by needles dropped from the stands of shortleaf pine and by sand eroded from the bluffs.

The South Loop follows the lovely River Aux Vases, with several spots where sand beaches below lush bluffs make for a perfect picnic spot.

“Some of the nicest parts of the Whispering Pines Trail are on the South Loop along the River Aux Vases,” Schott says. “It’s the most remote part of the park.”

For hikers who want a shorter

walk, Schott recommends a two-mile loop that follows the bluffs, counter clockwise, on the W h i s p e r i n g P i n e s Tr a i l t h e n descends to cross Pickle Creek and comes back along its scenic shutins.

If you want a longer walk, connector trails join Whispering Pines to the White Oak and Pickle Creek trails for a total of 17 miles.

“Do all three, spend the night out on the trail, and you have a pretty good wilderness experience,” Schott notes.

The trails are open only to hikers

and backpackers. Campfires are prohibited. The water quality in the creek and river is good, but should be treated before drinking.

Hawn’s campground has 50 sites; about half offer electricity.

There is a shower house, five walkin campsites in the woods and a special-use site that holds up to 50 people. Because of its popularity in spring and fall, Schott recommends visitors reserve a camp site five to six months in advance.

Recently, I took a walk on Whispering Pines Trail, beginning at 10 a.m., and finished about seven

October 17, 2013

hours later, with stops for lunch and photography. Schott described the hike as moderate, and said visitors should plan to be on the trail for eight to nine hours.

Asked for other advice for firsttime users, Schott replies: “Maps, daylight and bug spray.”

With the arrival of the first frost, the latter element can be eliminated.

One more bit of advice. Stop and listen, the pines really do whisper in the slightest breeze.

Tchaikovsky's classic Saint Louis Ballet will present "The Nutcracker" For The Edge

S

aint Louis Ballet, the region’s only professional ballet company, presents The Nutcracker December 20-29 at the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center. Directed by former New York City Ballet principal Gen Horiuchi, this holiday production features the company’s resident dancers who hail from the nation’s top training programs and beyond.

The legendary Nutcracker ballet, appropriate for all ages, features Tchaikovsky’s classic score, spectacular dancing from 21 members of Saint Louis Ballet and more than 80 local ballet students, as well as dazzling special effects. “The Touhill is an ideal venue for The Nutcracker, with a 2600 sq. ft. stage and stunning auditorium with over 1600 seats” said Horiuchi. “It’s a wonderful setting for both the dancers and the audience members.”

Young Clara and her mischievous Uncle, Herr Drosselmeyer, concocts a fantasy world for Clara, replete with a growing Christmas tree and a Nutcracker doll that comes to life and battles a Mouse King. With the defeat of the Mouse King brings a fantastical sleigh ride through falling snow and dancing snowflakes. Clara's visit to the Land of Sweets is a showcase of dancing treats presented by the Sugar Plum Fairy herself.

Saint Louis Ballet is the region’s major professional ballet company. Under the direction of former New York City Ballet principal dancer Gen Horiuchi, its 21 classically trained dancers are selected in a competitive national audition and come to St. Louis from training programs and ballet companies throughout the world. The company’s repertoire includes full-length ballets such as Swan Lake, Romeo & Juliet and Cinderella as well as contemporary work from renowned choreographers such as George Balanchine, Christopher d’Amboise, Jessica Lang, and Pam Tanowitz.

In addition to a season of fully mounted productions, Saint Louis Ballet operates a ballet training program and conducts outreach to 1,000 at-risk students through its partnerships with local social service agencies and public schools.

Gen Horiuchi has been the

artistic director of the Saint Louis Ballet Company and School since 2000. Since 2010, he has directed Gen Horiuchi’s Ballet USA each summer in Osaka, Japan where he presents his own choreography on professional dancers, bringing guests like Miyako Yoshida, former Royal Ballet principal, to dance alongside him to sold out audiences. In 2005 he also directed the Aoyama Ballet Festival in Tokyo, Japan with artists in major companies from around the world.

Horiuchi has created more than 20 original works for the Saint Louis Ballet and has spearheaded the growth of the School based in Chesterfield.

Raised in Tokyo, Japan by parents who were professional ballet dancers, he won the prestigious Prix de Lausanne, the international ballet competition in Switzerland in 1980 (and since 1993 has been a judge for the competition). He then received a scholarship to study at the School of American Ballet. In 1982, he was invited

by George Balanchine to join the New York City Ballet, where he became a principal dancer in 1989. He’s danced on Broadway in Song and Dance and was also Mr. Mistoffelees in

the musical Cats, both on Broadway and in London's West End. He choreographed the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan in 1998. In 2005 he was honored in New York City with the Seventh Cultural Bridge Award together with Harold Prince, (director of Phantom of the Opera).
