‘LEDA’ MAKES ITS MARYLAND PREMIERE

Eight years in the making, the silent, black-and-white, 3D film “Leda” finally began its festival circuit last fall, and on Aug. 11, it will make its Maryland premiere at the Senator Theatre in Baltimore. The film was shot primarily in Frederick County, and its cast and crew also hail from the Frederick area. The film, directed by Samuel Tressler IV, is a retelling of the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan, wherein a young woman is seduced by Zeus when he takes the form of a swan, and Leda goes on to bear two children of the god. “It was a very, very hard process,” Adeline Thery, who plays the lead role of Leda, told 72 Hours last year. “There were moments where we thought nobody’s ever gonna watch this movie. … But I’m really, really proud of the result. It’s a strange movie, but it’s beautiful. It was worth it.” This might be your only chance to see “Leda” on the big screen in 3D, so we urge you to get your tickets at Eventbrite and head out to the Senator on Aug. 11. Arrivals begin at 6 p.m., and the film starts at 7 p.m.

FREDERICK ARTS COUNCIL GIVES $400K IN GRANTS TO ARTISTS

Maybe you’ve noticed in influx of selfies on social media recently, with artists posing with red envelopes. A slew of artists and arts organizations in the county received Create and Activate Now Recover awards totaling $400,000 from the Frederick Arts Council last week, funding that was made possible through a National Endowment for the Arts American Rescue Plan grant to Local Arts Agencies. These grants will be used to further projects across all artistic disciplines and are a boon, to say the least, to our local creative economy. We can’t wait to see what work transpires with this added boost in funding.

FREDERICK RESTAURANT WEEK

If ever there were a time to try local restaurants you’ve been curious about, Frederick Restaurant Week — typically held twice a year — is an ideal opportunity. Several restaurants create menus specifically for the weeklong event, which runs Aug. 8 to 14, and offer diners fixed-price options, which are often multiple courses. Check out the full list of participating restaurants in this week’s Dining section, find their Restaurant Week menus online, and make reservations before heading out, as these places will fill quickly.

A (DRUNKEN) HISTORY LESSON

Who’s ready for an event where drunk people tell other drunk people about history? Maryland Ensemble Theatre’s comedy shows are always good for a laugh, and we love when they tie in local issues and history to their productions. In “Inebriated History,” you’ll learn, among other things, the story of Pompeo Coppini, the Italian sculptor who created the statute of Francis Scott Key at Mount Olivet Cemetery. But don’t go to the show expecting these stories to be quite accurate. The actors were recorded telling the stories while intoxicated, and for the live show, they will lip synch and pantomime their hilariously unreliable narrations onstage, while the pre-recorded interviews play in the background. This show is one weekend only, Aug. 5 and 6.

IT’S A FIRST SATURDAY WEEK

Just a reminder that it’s First Saturday this week in Frederick! Activities abound from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., live music will be performed in the streets, art receptions will happen at nearly every gallery in town, and several shops and restaurants offer their own special events (see a full list at downtownfrederick.org). One of our favorite activities offered monthly on First Saturdays is the Delaplaine Arts Center’s Creative Outlet, where anyone can stop in and make art on the third floor of the building for a $2 materials fee. If you’ve not checked out this bright and airy space, be sure to stop in this Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. and let the Delaplaine staff guide you in making your own creation to take home.

If you have the desire to work in a fast-paced, fun environment with a diverse group of people look no further! Costco is hiring hundreds of people at the Costco Depot located in Monrovia.

UNCAPPED

Grist House Craft Brewery In this episode of the UnCapped podcast, host Chris Sands headed to Millvale, Pennsylvania, to talk to Brian Eaton, co-founder of Grist House Craft Brewery, about the history of the brewery, the flooding they had to deal with, the expansion of their current location, and their new production facility that will be in Collier Township in a decommissioned Missile Command Center. Here is an edited excerpt of their talk. UnCapped: I usually start every episode with a little bit of your backstory and how Grist House came to be, so

what were you doing before Grist House? Brian Eaton: My life and I were living in Washington, D.C. I was working down there after college and home brewing at that point, and my brother-in-law, Kyle, who is the other co-founder, would come down occasionally and brew with us. He was up in Cleveland at the time. UnCapped: Were you working in some government aspect, in technology, or in finance? Eaton: Yeah, because that’s D.C. It was originally in government. I worked for the

Chris Sands

United States Senate, then left that and was doing fundraising for politicalbased nonprofits. My wife and I grew up in Pennsylvania and decided to move to Pittsburgh in 2010, and that got us closer to Kyle and his wife. Essentially every weekend, they were coming down to our house, brewing, and really enjoying it. Neither of us wanted to continue our day job, so we were like, we should start a brewery. People like our stuff. We considered Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Cleveland was really established then, around 2012, for breweries, and Pittsburgh only had a few. UnCapped: It’s kind of crazy for how much people in Pittsburgh drink for how far behind craft beer was in this area. Eaton: You know the old joke: Pittsburgh’s always five years behind the rest of the country — which can be a good thing. It definitely was a little behind in craft beer. We had East End, Penn Brewery and a few others, but I think at the time, there were only five or six that would be considered craft breweries. UnCapped: But then once Pittsburgh caught up, it caught up fast. There are several of you guys out here who are putting out amazing beer. Eaton: Hitchhiker and Brew Gentlemen opened up the same time we did, and we were the eighth or ninth brewery, and now I think there are 46 breweries in Allegheny County. So, like you said, we caught up fast. UnCapped: I feel like I’m constantly hearing or seeing a friend from up here sharing a new brewery, because a bunch of them are craft beer fans. There are Pittsburgh craft beer groups on Facebook. I’m like, wow. They’re on fire now. Eaton: Yeah, it’s pretty exciting. UnCapped: You guys are gonna be the elder statesmen of Pittsburgh brewing.

Eaton: Yeah, I think that moment’s coming up pretty quickly on us, since we’re coming up on eight years. It’s been exciting to see that growth. Pittsburgh is very local focused. Everyone’s from their own little section of Pittsburgh — “I’m from Lawrenceville” or “Mount Lebanon” … so now that they have a brewery in their little part of Pittsburgh, there’s that claim to it. UnCapped: I always think of Pittsburgh as one of the most selfsegregated places in the world. And there are still those pockets of extreme ethnic consolidation. Eaton: I was having a conversation with somebody the other day, they’re just over in Etna, which is the next little town next to us, and they said they’ll run into people in their seventies who are like, “Yep, I was born and raised here, never been downtown.” And it’s like, mind blowing, because you could walk there in 25 minutes from Etna, and they’re like, “I’ve never left Etna. That’s my town. This is where I’m staying my entire life.” UnCapped: It’s crazy when you hear people say that about leaving a state, but leaving a … micro-area … that’s insane. So, I also typical ask where the brewery’s name came from. Eaton: We basically wanted to tie in three things: brewing, Pittsburgh and the fact that we’re family run and operated. So, grist is the cracked grain in the brewing process, but also we have the three rivers in Pittsburgh, and there are a bunch of old grist mills, which were used to crack the grain for brewing or breadmaking. Prior to Prohibition, there were three decentsized breweries right here in Millvalle. Some of the remnants of the buildings you can still actually kind of see.

of. When I first heard the music from both of them, I automatically became a fan. I had them recording with me as ASAP. They’re definitely up and coming. Demetrius and I were talking via Instagram for years before I even heard his music and then when I heard it, I was like, “Whoa.” Going back to Asa, when I first met him, Uriel had been telling me about him. He was like, “I got somebody who reminds me of you.” My ears really perked up, like, “Oh, really?” Were you a little offended? I wasn’t offended, but the type of hip-hop I make, mostly when I come around Gen Z, they’re more about what’s mainstream and popular and that’s not really my sound. So when he said that, I was like, “There’s a young kid out here making Retro/ Ricole type stuff?” Uriel’s never said anything like that, so my ears automatically perked up. I didn’t even want to listen to the music. I wanted to meet him first. When I met him, I automatically got what he was saying. We hit it off. I was like, I have no problem passing whatever torch that is to him. He reminds me a lot of myself, just outside the music. You can put him anywhere and he has the pulse on everything. He’ll sell out wherever he goes. That’s why he reminds me of myself. I was the same way when I was that age. I was tapped into every party that was happening. Any event, I was there, front and center. I was mixing with so many different demographics. You think he’ll ever start a rock band like you did? Possibly. I also want to mention ANF. His father is DJ Two Teks, aka AJ Naylor. To me, he is the Godfather of Anything Trendy in Frederick. It starts with AJ. So, ANF had that in his blood from his dad. But he’s taken it the furthest by getting signed to a record label. Since childhood, I’ve known him. Super talented and hard-working. He’s actually done the things to be successful. It’s only a matter of time. He’s talented, too. He makes great music. He fits the wave of what’s now, but he can also distinguish himself from what everyone else is doing. So: ANF, Demetrius, ATK and Asa. Are they like your kids? Yeah, ANF is more like a nephew. Demetrius would be the same thing. ATK could be my kid, and I’m not saying that disrespectfully. It’s just the age difference, like, you could

possibly be my child. That’s why I kind of take to him. I was talking with someone recently [who] was telling me about how exciting it is to see kids and how inspiring it can be. Do you feel that same way when you see kids come up and start to take over? I’ll be honest. The way they present things on social media. Marketing. Branding. That’s the way it is anymore. It isn’t music; it’s branding. That’s what I’m saying. As far as the lyrical part of it, I’m not like, “Oh, I can’t do that.” But everything else? From branding ... listen, man. As a millennial, a lot of people give Gen Z flak. I have nothing but praise for Gen Z people. I’m around a lot of Gen Z people from working at the Y and things like that, and it actually helps my music. Being around Eric’s daughters, they’re going to right a lot of wrongs that previous generations have made. So, I have nothing but high praise for Gen Z. I’m inspired by it. I get bored sometimes. Seeing this new crop of artists mainly on social media ... You can have a television show or a movie or a social media presence and have the same amount of impact as you’d have if you just had a great album. It’s controversial to say, but I know how his mind works and it doesn’t come out the right way, but Kanye West. I found my inspiration in fashion. To me, Kanye has taken what he did in fashion and he’s been so brilliant in music, but he has now transitioned that into fashion. You can feel the way you want to feel about his music or his takes on things, but his genius now has transitioned over to fashion. What I’m saying is I take from the ones who are before me, the ones who are walking with me, and the ones who are like, “All right, now, we’re coming.” I take inspiration from all of that. Colin McGuire has been in and out of bands for more than 20 years and also helps produce concerts in and around Frederick. His work has appeared in Alternative Press magazine, PopMatters and 72 Hours, among other outlets.

HISTORY

Plastered Past

MET’s new show gives us a history lesson ... but the inebriated version BY ERIK ANDERSON

‘INEBRIATED HISTORY’

Special to The News-Post

History enthusiasts have become known for resorting to gimmicks to make their favorite stories from centuries past interesting and accessible to the general public. From museums that lure visitors with ghost stories to eccentric professors who show up to lectures wearing medieval plague masks, our history keepers seem to agree that it takes more than a simple presentation of facts to captivate an audience. In “Inebriated History,” Maryland Ensemble Theatre’s fundraising production running one weekend only on Aug. 5 and 6, the hard facts of history take a backseat to the fun of history, as both the audience and storytellers enjoy a few drinks. Inspired by Comedy Central’s “Drunk History,” which features famous actors telling their favorite true stories while intoxicated, the MET event will play pre-recorded interviews with local inebriated storytellers while live actors onstage lip synch and pantomime to their hilariously unreliable narrations. The evening’s comedy will unfold around three stories from history.

The show’s director and co-creator, Laura Stark, said that while the primary goal of the performance is for the audience and the actors to have a good time, she believes everyone who sees the show will come away from the experience with a better understanding of actual history than they started with. She says the storytellers each chose aspects of history with which they were already familiar, and that their stories are well-researched. The stories were recorded in two takes: one with only a small amount of drinking to allow for some narrative cohesion, and a second with more alcohol to allow for more comedy. The two takes were then spliced together to get the best aspects of both. While Stark has been mostly focused on bringing out the comedy of drunken narration, the storytellers have taught her a lot about historical figures. “Just hearing John [Fieseler] tell me the story of Pompeo Coppini, the next day after I recorded him, my husband, my daughter and I all went to Mount Olivet just out of curiosity [to] see the statue, and I was able to tell my family the story,” she said.

From left: Cast members James McGarvey, Karlie Cole, Jen Pagano, and Courtney McLaughlin act out a scene during the Maryland Ensemble Theatre rehearsal for “Inebriated History” on July 24. Stark thinks the audience will be especially enlightened by the story of Von Braun, whose origins as a scientist for Nazi Germany are often obscured by his later accomplishments at NASA. “The concept for the rocket that eventually put man on the moon was the same rocket that killed thousands of people in England and Belgium in World War II,” she said. “We forgive him for the mass murder of those civilians because it benefits us in the end. For me, that was my takeaway.” Stark feels that even the most outlandish story they offer during the show will ultimately support historical education because it will likely make the audience interested in learning more about history’s quirks. “You’re not going to walk away a better person because you heard the story of Mary Toft giving birth to bunnies, but it’s still a fascinating story,” she said. “You will walk away going, ‘What the hell?’” Thomas Scholtes, a longtime member of the MET’s Comedy Pigs improv troupe and the show’s cocreator, said the actors will use

exaggerated comedy as a cue to let the audience know when the narrative strays too far from historical accuracy. He said the funniest aspect of the show — the constant switching between third and first-person narration by the inebriated storytellers — has proven to be the most challenging for live actors to pantomime. “We can’t edit the actors’ mouths to match words exactly. We try to cut the audio into what we think is the best story, then it’s up to the actors to get the storytellers’ cadence down,” he said. “The audience is a part of it. We try to incorporate the blocking and the lines to bring out the best show for a specifically live audience.” Scholtes hopes that if the event is successful as both entertainment and as a fundraiser for MET’s upcoming season, some version of the show will take root as a fixture in the community. Though no official plans have been made, he envisions future versions of “Inebriated History” telling all local stories that have been submitted by Frederick residents.

Top 10 Playgrou BY GARY BENNETT

A word on my methodology: I visited each park in the morning or evening before sunset so I could observe them in action, always carefully explaining to parents what I was doing. In the summer, parents with younger kids tend to visit in the morning. In the evenings before sundown, the older kids come out, usually unattended. Here is my list of the top 10 Frederick city public playgrounds. To the great credit of the city’s Parks and Rec Department, most are very well maintained, and in many cases, absolutely immaculate. Most serve children between 2 and 12 years of age. Is your favorite here?

Special to The News-Post

If you’re a kid, parent or a doting grandparent, there’s nothing as satisfying or efficient as a good public playground. Laid out before you are free, shiny attractions — climbing equipment, swings, merry-go-rounds, monkey bars, see-saws and the ever-present sliding boards. Who could ask for more? Indeed, Frederick is blessed to have more than its share of public parks, playgrounds and open spaces to call our own. According to Bob Smith, Frederick’s deputy director of Parks and Recreation, Frederick city has 75 public parks, totaling 807 acres. With an average size of 10.7 acres, this equates to approximately 11 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents, exceeding the National Recreation and Parks Association guidelines of 9.9 acres per 1,000 residents. Said another way, Frederick city has roughly one park for every 1,000 residents. According to the 2020 NRPA Agency Performance Review, the target ratio for a city the size of Frederick is one park for every 2,500 residents. We are doing quite well. The future looks bright, too. Frederick city’s projected 2045 population of about 93,000 residents (currently 72,000) requires at least 921 acres of parkland to comfortably serve us. According to Smith, it is anticipated that the city will add as much as 300 additional acres of parkland in the next 5 to 10 years, putting it well over 1,000 acres of parkland 10 years ahead of schedule.

10. AMBER MEADOWS PARK 201 AMBER DRIVE

Wes Parker, 5, of Frederick enjoys a day at Greenleaf Park recently while at a family picnic.

This park serves the Amber Meadows community across from Fort Detrick on Opposumtown Pike. It’s very shady with four benches and two large play structures. Other amenities include a shelter with several tables, six swings, a free-standing faux rock-climbing structure, balance beam and other built-in climbing items. The park spans both sides of Amber Drive and has two basketball courts, two tennis courts, a large ball field and walking trail. Go for the faux rock climbing. Kids loved this. Score: 37 out of 50

Because I frequently takes my grandkids to local parks, I got to wondering about these 75 city parks. I’d only been to a few, and I’d venture to guess the same is true for you. Many of these parks feature ball fields, basketball courts, picnic pavilions, hiking trails, or are simply open green spaces. That is all great if that’s what you’re 9.

COLLEGE AND FLEMING AVENUES

Frederick’s top park is probably no surprise to you. The newer of Baker Park’s two play parks beats out the older, more historic park by an eyelash mostly due to its proximity to the Thomas public pool and Carroll Creek and by its sheer variety. This beautiful, mostly shady destination park is bordered by the pool, Carroll Creek and the tri-tunnels under College Avenue. Kids can look in any direction and be tempted by an irresistible attraction. But they’ll mostly want to stay in the play area. It features not just one or two play structures, but four play structures, mostly for the younger kids. The one structure devoted to the older kids rivals any of the others I saw. The park has 12 small shelters with tables that make it perfect for picnicking, a bench swing, a rockclimbing feature whimsically shaped like a dinosaur, eight swings, a zip line, a real “up and down” see-saw and a self-turner. Ducks and geese wander by freely. Go for the variety of play possibilities, a picnic lunch and sheer beauty. Score: 49 out of 50. (See PLAYGROUNDS 17) 72 HOURS

The Frederick Arts Council Awards $400K to artists, arts organizations The Frederick Arts Council announced on Thursday that it awarded $400,000 in Create and Activate Now (C.A.N.) Recover awards to arts organizations and artists throughout Frederick County. C.A.N. Recover Grants and Stipends support artists and arts organizations who have been impacted by the Coronavirus and need support for upcoming programs and arts projects. This funding opportunity is made possible through a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) American Rescue Plan (ARP) Grant to Local Arts Agencies (LAA) awarded to the Frederick Arts Council for sub-granting. Artistic activities are supported to strengthen our county’s — and the nation’s — cultural infrastructure. The sub-grants will help restore the local community’s cultural infrastructure, benefitting arts workers, artists and audiences. “Frederick County artists and arts organizations — and the community as a whole — will benefit from these awards that help activate and energize the local economy through the ripple effects that the arts provide,” said Louise Kennelly, executive director of the Frederick Arts Council. “These grants and stipends are an opportunity for the arts to continue healing the community after a challenging time.” C.A.N. applications were evaluated by a dedicated grants committee, which includes community representatives. The committee was co-chaired by Bruce Zavos, FAC president; Ted Luck, FAC board member; and Griff Garwood, FAC volunteer. FAC officers are Bruce Zavos, president; Linda Roth, vice president; Andrew Rosenfeld, secretary; and Terri Almacy, treasurer. Awardees include the following arts organization grantees: AIR

In the not-so-distant future, a terrible water shortage and 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets and a proliferation of the paid public toilets, owned and operated by a single megalomaniac company: The Urine Good Company. If the poor don’t obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, they’ll be sent to the dreaded and mysterious Urinetown. After too long under the heel of the malevolent Caldwell B. Cladwell, the poor stage a revolt, led by a brave young hero, fighting both tooth and nail for the freedom to pee “wherever upi like, whenever you like, for as long as you like, and with whomever you like.” A brilliant satire, “Urinetown” is a wickedly funny, fast-paced and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp, for ages 13 and up. Performances will be held at 8 p.m. Aug. 5, 6 , 12 and 13 and 2 p.m. Aug. 7 at The Performing Arts Factory, 244 S. Jefferson St., Frederick. For tickets, visit othervoicestheatre. org.

Film still from “LEDA.”

‘LEDA’ makes its Maryland premiere at the Senator Theatre

After an international festival run with screenings at the Sydney Film Festival and winning awards at Austin Arthouse (Cinematography), Another Hole in the Head (Art Feature) and Festival of Cinema NYC (Audience Choice), “LEDA” returns home to Maryland. The black-and-white, 3D, silent film will make its Maryland premiere at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Senator Theatre in Baltimore. Arrivals will begin at 6 p.m. The film will be followed by a Q&A with the director, star and select crew, hosted by Christopher Llewellyn Reed, Lead Critic of “Hammer to Nail” and chair of the Film & Moving Image Department at Stevenson University. The ancient Greek myth of Leda and the Swan is reimagined as a timeless tale set among the forests and lakes of a 19th-century mansion. Haunted by childhood memories and divine visions, Leda (Adeline Thery) struggles with madness brought on by a sudden unexpected pregnancy that doesn’t seem … human. The film is told completely without words and in stereoscopic black and white. Shot entirely in Maryland, the film showcases the beauty of historic landmarks, such as Liriodendron Mansion, Stone Manor and Strong Mansion. The film highlights Maryland’s film scene with its crew of local talent, including cinematographer Nick Midwig and director Samuel Tressler IV,

both alumni of Stevenson University. The journey to the finished film was a long one. Pre-production began all the way back in 2013, and principal photography was shot in 2017. With many of the cast and crew in attendance at the Baltimore screening, this will be a celebration of the years of work and love that was poured into the project. Learn more about the film at ledathemovie.com.
