in August — originally Del Shores’ Daddy’s Dyin’... Who’s Got the Will — but changes at the theater and the cast size of Daddy’s Dyin’ caused them to change plans. Book of Liz has a cast of four and Jim Fitzmorris is serving as director and co-producer. Fanning and Talbot appeared together recently in the Jefferson Performing Arts Society’s Sex Please, We’re Sixty and The Gnadiges Fraulein at the Tennessee Williams New Orleans Literary Festival. For their own production, they wanted to find a comedy with two prominent female roles. Fanning plays Elizabeth, and Talbot plays six characters, including the gossipy Sister Butterworth and Ukrainian immigrant Oxana, who hustles odd jobs and speaks with a Cockney British accent, because her English instructor had that accent. Kyle Daigrepont and Joel Derby also play multiple characters, and it’s a fast-moving show in which everything seems both normal and abnormal at the same time.

hen Elizabeth Donderstock yells into the kitchen for orders of “Williamsburgers” and sides of “John Browns” at the Pilgrim-themed Plymouth Crock restaurant, she’s displaying the take-charge attitude that has her primed for a promotion to manager after a few weeks on the job. But she’s concerned about new uniforms the company’s marketing team wants to adopt. “That skirt is the size of a BevNap,” Liz tells the current manager, having quickly mastered restaurant industry lingo. It’s immodest, and she hasn’t told anyone at the restaurant that she’s Squeamish — a member of an Amish-like religious community known for long beards, resistance to technology and cheese balls. In fact, her Squeamish community is known for her cheese balls. It relies heavily on their sales for income. But Sister Elizabeth was relieved of cheese ball production in favor of a man who recently joined the community, and it shakes her faith that the community stifles her. Though not exactly a comedy, the funny and absurd drama melds the talents of its authors, offbeat comedian and actress Amy Sedaris and her brother, humorist David Sedaris, who’s well known for The Santaland Diaries, an account of working in the holiday-themed fantasyland at Macy’s. (Amy used to sell cheese balls and cupcakes she made in her New York apartment.) Liz steps outside the sexist hierarchy of her Squeamish clan and finds that people in the outside world also follow strange creeds and cluster in insular communities, even in theme restaurants. The Book of Liz is the first production under the banner of The Theater at St. Claude, the result of Jim and Ryan Fitzmorris’ assumption of management of the theater space at AllWays Lounge. The brothers have renovated the space, installed new light and sound boards and chairs and refurbished backstage spaces. They’ve initiated theater classes in the space and soon will announce a fall season and introduce acoustic music performances. Margeaux Fanning and Kathryn Talbot, founders of 2 Duxx productions, had planned on producing a play in the space

The ‘tiny houses’ trend comes to New Orleans. Not everyone is happy. By Robert Morris & Sarah Tan UptownMessenger.com
T
iny houses veer between fad and architectural fascination in cities across the world, but in New Orleans — where waterways and old plantantion lines make frequent curiosities out of the street grid — they may be finding a natural home. With undeveloped standard-sized lots increasingly scarce among the most sought-after neighborhoods along the Mississippi River, architects and developers are looking for building opportunities on small parcels that have been overlooked until now. While planners around the country tout the urban-infill trend as a counterweight to suburban sprawl, some New Orleanians worry the smaller structures may congest their neighborhoods. Architect Jonathan Tate and developer Charles Rutledge say they have identified more than 5,000 irregularly-shaped vacant

N.O. COMMENT What you had to say on BestofNewOrleans.com this week
Our story, “Bike deaths in New Orleans prompt ‘die-in,’” drew these responses: One point being ignored is that many cyclists, including some of those recently killed, were ignoring very basic traffic laws that could literally have saved their lives. — Ian Kramar Mr. Gregory was, as far as can be determined, not violating any traffic laws when he was killed. Stop blaming the victims. — Edd Education is truly needed on both sides. I am a cyclist and a motorist. I have had to dodge out of the bike lane while cycling due to someone riding the wrong way in the lane. I have nearly killed more than one cyclist who ran a stop sign in front of me while I was driving. — Keith Gc Twitchell

Little house on the urban prairie
lots traditionally seen as too tiny to be built upon. In This house in the Irish the hopes of transforming Channel is being built on some of these parcels into an 880-square-foot lot. It new small-but-affordable goes on sale next month. housing stock, they are P H O TO BY C HERY L G ERBER building their first “starter home,” a house on an 880-square-foot lot in the 3100 block St. Thomas Street in the Irish Channel. “The lot on St. Thomas ‘wasn’t worthy of a house’ is what the neighbors said,” Tate says. Irish Channel real estate has skyrocketed in value over the past few years, but Tate and Rutledge say it has 20 to 30 irregularly sized empty lots that measure less than 900 square feet. They think if they could use the land to build smaller houses, they could utilize empty space and also open up an increasingly expensive neighborhood to first-time homebuyers. “The Irish Channel is particularly interesting because the value is going way up, and it’s pushing people out,” Rutledge says. “We want to see how to make housing more affordable without cheap architecture.” The solution on St. Thomas Street has been to buy a smaller plot of land and build a smaller house, which will have lower construction costs. The house looms tall and thin on a sliver of land between a Creole cottage and a warehouse. “If we’re working with odd lots, we can be inventive with how we use space and [take advantage of] all parts of the lot,” Tate says. “Stylistically, its contemporary, but there’s enough familiarity to them.” Real estate agent Tracey Moore, who will put the house on the market in August, has said the team is filling a particular niche in the real estate market that has yet to be addressed.

“Smaller lots are hard to deal with, but because they’re small, they’re still somewhat affordable,” Moore says. “Most of the time, these lots are just sitting there with grass growing or people are putting trash on them.” Moore says for someone trying to break into the housing market in a trendier neighborhood such as the Irish Channel or Bywater, smaller lotsare the only things left. Though the thought of developing irregularly sized lots isn’t necessarily new, developers often overlook them because they may not turn as much of a profit, Moore adds. Tate and Rutledge acknowledge this, and say their first house on St. Thomas may need to sell for more to make up for the potential of losing money on the sale of future starter homes in the area. They bought the 16-by-55-foot lot on St. Thomas for $22,000. By comparison, a regular-sized lot in the area recently sold for $285,000, and that’s not including the price of building a house. Houses in the area have sold for up to $400 per square foot. The team hopes to sell starter homes for around $200 per square foot. “We’re trying to provide an alternative option for someone with a price point that doesn’t exist in this part of the city,” Tate adds.

Affordability is a major reason tiny houses have drawn increasing interest around the country. Gregory Paul Johnson, founder of the Small House Society in Iowa City, Iowa, told The New York Times the notion of very small houses becoming popular would have been absurd in the early 2000s. “But there are so many powerful forces at work right now, like rising energy costs and the mortgage crisis,” Johnson told the newspaper. “I think people want small homes because they cost less to purchase, maintain, heat.” But one person’s innovation may be another’s imposition. Several neighbors recently turned out to protest another narrow home on a small lot on Chestnut Street. The developer, Logistics Park LLC of New Orleans, is planning a two-story home for the lot at 4621 Chestnut St. The house would be 12-feet, 10-inches wide, 65 feet long, and 28 feet tall, for a total floor area of approximately 1,500 square feet. The lot itself measures 21 feet across, nearly half the 40 feet normally required, but the city granted a construction permit in March because “a single-family lot can be developed on by right” under usual circumstances, said Leslie Alley of the City Planning Commission. City officials, however, did not notice that the lot had been commonly owned with the neighboring lot property until just last year, Alley said, which means a variance should have been required. When neighbors pointed out the prior common ownership of the neighboring lots, a stop-work order was issued and a hearing set before the Board of Zoning Adjustments. Anne Raymond, representing
the developer, told the board that the lot width dates back nearly a century. “The lot area and width are the historical lot area and width from 1908,” Raymond said. “It is how it is.” The July 13 hearing also brought a number of neighbors in opposition. Justin Chopin, who lives on the Valence Street side of the block, said the lot is too small to be independently developed, and the developer should have known that when they bought it. “They had to do so knowing it was never going to be conforming to the zoning regulations,” Chopin said. “There’s not ample parking. It doesn’t fit with the construct of the other houses.” Lorraine Neville, whose husband is musician Art Neville, said the lot was always part of the neighboring home as a side yard. “I know this to be true; it was never an independent lot,” Lorraine Neville said, noting that she had a letter signed by 15 adjacent neighbors opposing the construction. The board, however, said the developer appeared to have followed the proper process laid out by city officials — the city, however, had applied the law erroneously. Board member Tommy Screen said he sympathized with the neighbors’ concerns, but the developer’s property rights should not be constrained by whether the neighbors liked the design of the house. “Developers by their very nature are not evil people,” Screen said. “They clearly are in America and can make a living and develop things whether neighbors are opposed to it or not, if they follow the rules. In this case you’ve got someone who came in, and as the result of an error in the process laid out by the city, work was begun, and now we’ve got two sets of people in a lurch. Sometimes life’s not fair, I guess.” After verifying the permit issued by the city in March, Board of Zoning Adjustments Chairman Todd James concurred with Screen, and the board voted to approve the staff’s recommendation to allow construction to proceed on the narrow home. Meanwhile, the house on St. Thomas is set to go on the market by August. The team also is looking at purchasing small lots in Central City, Bywater and the Faubourg Marigny for their next starter home site. For people looking to build home equity and buy their first house, Tate and Rutledge hope their starter home will provide another option in another neighborhood homebuyers may not otherwise have considered. “As a neighborhood improves, it gets more economically homogenous, and existing residents are forced to move out,” Rutledge said. “But part of what makes these neighborhoods attractive is their proximity to the city center, and why shouldn’t more people of economic diversity get to enjoy that?” — This story was reported by our partners at Uptown Messenger.

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week
“Oh, bah bah. I think [Gov. Bobby Jindal’s] at zero.” — GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, talking to The New York Times about criticism aimed his way by Gov. Bobby Jindal. A Washington Post-ABC News poll last week (taken partially before and partially after Trump swiped at Arizona Sen. John McCain’s military record) found Trump to be the choice of 24 percent of likely voters. Jindal was in the bottom six candidates of the poll, though Trump was wrong in his swipe at Jindal: in that poll, Jindal had 2 percent support.
Jindal suspends presidential campaign
Governor reacts to Lafayette movie theater shootings
Jindal may get air time in pre-debate shows
Good news and bad news for Gov. Bobby Jindal as the first Republican presidential debate looms next week: The pre-show “forum” for the second-tier candidates (Jindal’s poll numbers currently put him out of the top 10, which is the cutoff point for the debate) has been cut from 90 minutes to only an hour. But Fox News has decided to air it directly before the main debate itself, which may give Jindal and the other slow starters some extra exposure. Which candidate appears in which forum will be decided Aug. 4, but Jindal’s numbers are unlikely to go higher than the 1 to 2 percent he’s shown in most national polls. A Public Policy Polling survey conducted last week showed his support at 1 percent. Should his campaign survive, he may have time to appear with the big guns; the Republican National Committee has set nine debates between August and March 2016. PAGE 10

The morning after a shooter took the lives of Jillian Johnson and Mayci Breaux and injured nine others in a Lafayette movie theater, Gov. Bobby Jindal said he would temporarily suspend his presidential campaign. Appearing on the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends, Jindal said, “We are going to do whatever we can to support our community. This is a time for us to come together.” Jindal campaign spokeswoman Shannon Dirmann did not immediately respond to an email asking how long the campaign would be suspended. Johnson, an artist and businesswoman, owned Red Arrow Workshop, a retail shop featuring Louisiana-made goods and specializing in gifts, jewelry and toys. It opened in Lafayette in 2012; a New Orleans location was opened on Magazine Street in September 2014. She also was a singer and ukelele player for the band The Figs. Writing for Gambit in 2008, Alison Fensterstock said, “The all-woman sextet the Figs looks like a country-time tea party of pretty girls in pretty dresses, but it rocks, Cajun-style, like a roadhouse full of moonshine and buckshot.” Breaux, a native of Franklin who graduated from high school in 2012, was a student at Louisiana State University-Eunice. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Trying to stop violent crime — again
NOPD says shooting deaths up, overall crime down
As New Orleans averages nearly two murders a day (as of last week), the city’s police — as well as federal and state agencies — are stepping up personnel to help prevent, rather than respond to, violent crime. On July 21, New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) Superintendent Michael Harrison announced the department’s “renewed” commitments with Louisiana State Police, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the U.S. Marshals Service. (Almost immediately following the press conference, a 17-year-old youth was killed in a drive-by shooting in New Orleans East, and a 4-yearold child was injured.) Despite the rise in shooting deaths, Harrison said nonfatal shootings are down 20 percent and crime overall is down 8 percent compared to last year. NOPD also recently graduated 27 new recruits. Its gang unit, however, is static at seven detectives and two supervisors, but the unit is “going to double its work,” Harrison said. Harrison said he’s also approving overtime for officers. “If violence is the life you choose, then prison is the price you pay,” the chief said. When asked whether NOPD is capable of stopping crime before it happens, Harrison said, “We’re gonna stop them.” State police, ATF and DEA agents also pleaded with New Orleanians to contact them with crime tips. As deaths rise, the coroner’s office stays busy. On July 22, Orleans Parish Coroner Jeffrey Rouse, beginning his second year in office, presented his midyear budget to the New Orleans City Council. (On July 2, following a deadly day in the city, an exasperated Rouse tweeted, “4 homicides in 6 hours this afternoon. Four, for Christ’s sake.”)

Magazine holds conference commemorating the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
As part of the city’s “Katrina10” events, The Atlantic will hold “New Orleans: Ten Years Later,” a conference Aug. 24 with 19 announced speakers and moderators (so far). Mayor Mitch Landrieu will be there, of course, interviewed by the magazine’s Jeffrey Goldberg. Education topics will be handled by Louisiana Superintendent of Education John White; Kira Orange Jones, the executive director of Teach For America Greater New Orleans-Louisiana Delta; and New Orleans education advisor Andre Perry. Three members of New Orleans’ Baquet family will be on panels: The New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet, The Times-Picayune Director of Print Terry Baquet and Li’l Dizzy’s owner Wayne Baquet.
Orleans Parish Coroner Jeffrey Rouse presented his midyear budget to the New Orleans City Council last week. Rouse said his office, with a $2.17 million budget, is underfunded compared to neighboring parishes.
Also in attendance will be Walter Isaacson, the New Orleans native, writer and head of The Aspen Institute; Judith Rodin, president of The Rockefeller Foundation; and La June Montgomery Tabron, president of The W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The event will take place at the New Orleans Sheraton all day. A full schedule of events will come later. It’s part of the city’s weeklong “Katrina 10” events, which will include a memorial, a day of service and a festival “saluting resilience” in the Lower 9th Ward.

A futile exorcise?
Campaign for musical about Jindal raises $125
That purported musical about the exorcism Gov. Bobby Jindal performed in college isn’t gaining much traction. It’s the brainchild of marijuana advocate Chris Chiari and political consultant Brian Welsh, who helped porn star Stormy Daniels make noise about running for the U.S. Senate against David Vitter. Chiari and Welsh have released one song from the confusingly titled The Exorcism of “Sue” (The Musical!) A Celebration of Love on YouTube (“Though it’s strictly platonic/There’s something demonic”) and launched an online fundraising campaign with the goal of $10,000 in donations. Like the Daniels “campaign,” this looks like a fizzle; at press time, they had three donors for a total of $125. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Though his office is working within its $2.17 million budget, Rouse said it still is underfunded compared to neighboring parishes. Jefferson Parish, he said, receives a $5.4 million budget yet handles only 575 autopsies on average. “We’re the busiest coroner’s office in the state,” Rouse said. Rouse said his office needs a day shift death investigator, two more administrative staffers, more funding for mental health services, a 24/7 front desk service and an in-house toxicology lab. The office also has created a Victim Allies Project with SilenceIsViolence to support victims’ families. “[We] stay outside the tape, so to speak, and interact directly with family so the family can understand what is happening in my office and hold that family’s hand through that process,” Rouse said. — ALEX WOODWARD

A never-ending battle

espite assurances from New Orleans Police Chief Michael Harrison that violent crime is down compared to last year, New Orleanians are increasingly on edge about the city’s rising murder rate. Last week, masked gunmen in New Orleans East jumped out of cars and shot a teenager, then ran into his aunt’s home and shot a 4-yearold child. The toddler was not killed, but 17-year-old Gerald Morgan died later at a hospital. That’s just one of many horrific stories to headline crime reports in recent weeks. Compounding matters for local law enforcement, officers Daryle Holloway and Vernell Brown Jr. were killed in the line of duty this summer. Harrison responded to citizens’ concerns last week with a show of unity alongside federal and state law enforcement leaders. The chief promised more overtime for cops and said additional collaboration with federal and state agencies will help NOPD crack down on violent crime. His announcement came as the city’s murder rate topped 100, a rate which seems sure to surpass the 150 murders New Orleans saw in all of 2014, which was the second consecutive year that murders inched downward. Mayor Mitch Landrieu hailed last year’s number as a historic low for the city, and while this year’s murder count pales in comparison to the nearly 400 homicides per year in the mid-1990s, that is small comfort to citizens shocked by the brazenness and ferocity of so many young gunmen in New Orleans today. Nor does it help to know that New Orleanians are not alone: Murders are up significantly in other major cities, including Baltimore, Milwaukee (which historically has a low murder rate) and Chicago. Attempting to put things in perspective, Harrison said non-fatal shootings are down 20 percent so far this year. While that’s a good number, other numbers are difficult to change. NOPD still does not have enough personnel. It’s hoped several pay raises will stem the tide of retire-
ments and departures that have decimated departmental ranks in recent years, but even with the 27 recruits about to complete field training and two additional recruit classes in the pipeline, it will take years to get NOPD back up to the 1,600 cops it had years ago. Additional patrols by Louisiana State Police have helped greatly, and the next governor should make them a semi-permanent addition to local crimefighting efforts.
Getting violent crime under control is one thing. Keeping it under control is quite another. Police alone cannot and will not stop crime, but their presence can deter criminals and certainly makes citizens feel safer. Meanwhile, social and mental health services play an equally important role. Orleans Parish Coroner Dr. Jeffrey Rouse recently cited a new “victim ally” partnership with the nonprofit Silence Is Violence that offers long-term help to victims at homicide scenes. Retired Criminal Court Judge Calvin Johnson, who until recently led the Metropolitan Human Services District, which oversees publicly funded, community-based behavioral health and developmental disabilities services for metro New Orleans, says giving troubled youths better access to mental health care services can stem the tide of violence. The fight against violent crime never really ends. As recent statistics tell us, getting it under control is one thing. Keeping it under control is quite another.

There are two time capsules buried deep beneath the New Orleans Public Library main branch. One was put there in 1996 to commemorate the library system’s centennial; the one you recall marked the main branch’s opening in 1958. According to a story in The Times-Picayune, a ceremony was held on May 4, 1958, to install the time capsule. The project was the work of the Alcee Fortier High School Key Club. The group’s president, student Robert E. Hill Jr., was among the speakers at the ceremony. Also present were Mayor deLesseps “Chep” Morrison, City Councilman (and future mayor) Vic Schiro, library board Chairman Charles Smither, library supporters Phyllis Dennery and Effie Fisher, public schools superintendent Dr. James Redmond and Monsignor Henry Bezou, the superintendent of Catholic schools. According to library records, contents of the time capsule included copies of the local newspapers of the day (remember, there were three then: The TimesPicayune, The States and The Item), along with several national magazines, a city

telephone directory, the mayor’s annual report for 1956-57, a copy of the city’s Home Rule Charter and the library system’s annual report. Also included were microfilms of publications from 22 local schools, lists of upcoming local events for 1958, an atlas, map of New Orleans, The World Almanac and library book list. There is a problem, however: Nowhere in the library’s archives or press accounts is there information about when the capsule is to be opened. In addition, archivists in the library’s Louisiana Division and City Archives say that while photos of the ceremony show the capsule being placed into the floor somewhere at a cornerstone, there is no information about where the capsule sits within the building.

here’s nothing like a bottle of Dr. Nut — or just the memory of our long-departed Crescent City soft drink — to cool you down on a sweltering summer day. The almond-flavored beverage was a favorite of New Orleanians from the 1930s through the ’70s. It was bottled and distributed by the World Bottling Company at Chartres Street and Elysian Fields Avenue in the Faubourg Marigny. In his 2013 book Making New Orleans, Phillip Collier features some of the advertising slogans employed by the company over the years, including “The Sure Cure for Thirst,” “It’s a Food — Not a Fad” and quite simply, “It’s Delicious.” That last one was printed at the bottom of the glass bottles most of us remember, which also featured a drawing of a bushy-tailed squirrel eating — of course — a nut. The soft drink was immortalized in John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces as the favorite drink of Ignatius J. Reilly. Collier says Dr. Nut tasted similar to amaretto liqueur and can be replicated (as an adult beverage) by mixing 2 ounces of Dr. Pepper with 4 ounces of amaretto.

‘Nuisance’ or history?
Historians discuss controversial Confederate monuments like this one of Jefferson Davis in Mid-City.
This whole debate could become a ‘teaching moment’ about slavery and its legacy. Now, I’m wondering if it might not be appropriate to expand the narrative (and the number of statues) at each of the current locations instead. Lee Circle, for example, could become “Generals Circle” with the addition of a statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman, who, unlike Lee, actually lived in Louisiana. Sherman resigned as head of what became LSU to fight for the Union. Similarly, Jefferson Davis Parkway could become “Presidents Avenue” with the addition of a statue of Abraham Lincoln. At each site, there could be narratives or markers describing the roles that Lee, Sherman, Davis and Lincoln — and possibly others — played in the fight for freedom. As one of the panelists noted last week, this whole debate could become a “teaching moment” about slavery and its legacy. That’s a far cry from “nuisance,” but, then again, I’m a history major. Landrieu majored in political science and theater.

ayor Mitch Landrieu did not attend a forum on the fate of local Confederate monuments last Thursday at the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (LEH). That’s too bad. He might have learned something. Of course, that’s no guarantee that Hizzoner would have changed his mind on the question of what to do with statues of Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard and Jefferson Davis, along with the monument to the White League riot of 1874. He asked the City Council on July 9 to begin a process that would declare the monuments “nuisances,” ostensibly precipitating their removal. At the same council meeting, Landrieu gave the appearance of offering the monuments their day in court, even if it was a Judge Roy Bean sort of court. He asked council members to hold public hearings and get comments from various city agencies (all of which answer to Hizzoner) — before drafting an ordinance declaring them nuisances. The council unanimously adopted a resolution putting that process in motion. In the wake of the Charleston massacre, there’s little sympathy for the Lost Cause, but at the July 23 LEH forum there was quite a bit of interest in history. A panel of distinguished local historians discussed the origins of the White League, efforts to enforce “white supremacy” post-Reconstruction, and the lasting impact of these and other events on African-Americans. The historians were not exactly Confederate sympathizers, but none recommended taking down the statues. Instead, they added much-needed context to the debate over the statues’ future. Among other things, it was noted that two of the statues — Lee and Beauregard — are on the National Register of Historic Places. Now there’s irony for you: Statues honoring a pair of rebels who led armies against the United States are now protected by the feds. That’s sure to spark a lawsuit when Landrieu’s “nuisance” court renders its verdict. I admit to having mixed, if any, emotions about the statues. Until last Thursday’s forum, I was perfectly OK with removing them, though I never thought they should be mothballed. I thought perhaps they could be moved to a suitable location and made part of an expanded historical examination of the men and women who played significant roles in the fight for (and against) freedom for all in America.

LOUISIANA IS AMONG THE FIRST STATES IN THE SOUTH TO APPROVE MEDICAL MARIJUANA. BUT IT COULD TAKE YEARS TO GET INTO PHARMACIES, AND THINGS COULD CHANGE WITH EACH LEGISLATIVE SESSION. PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS BY DAVID KROLL
W
rapped in a blue cardigan, Michele Hall pulled out several large bottles of prescription medicines from a clear plastic bag and placed them on the table in front of a silent Louisiana House Committee on Health and Welfare. Her 4-year-old adopted daughter, Elle Grace, has suffered chronic seizures since she was 1. There are twice-daily doses of Depakote and Trileptal to keep the seizures at bay, Prozac to counteract the Depakote, and Risperdol, and then Zantac to combat the constant acid reflux. Hall said her daughter would only need one drug to cut the child’s medication routine in half — but medical marijuana isn’t legal in Louisiana, despite several attempts to make it so over the last 40 years. The Hall family may move to Colorado where doctors can prescribe a refined cannabis oil to treat Elle Grace. “That’s the harsh reality of what I’m trying to get you to say ‘yes’ to,” she told the committee on May 27. “[Elle Grace is] going to be clear-minded. She’s going to be a happy little girl.” That “yes” came with passage of a bill by Republican state Sen. Fred Mills, a soft-spoken Cajun pharmacist from St. Martin Parish with a thin face and a pad of gray-
flecked hair. At that committee hearing, he slouched in a chair, rocking, his suit looking a size too big — not quite the picture of a man one might expect to see leading a years-long battle to get the state to authorize the use of medical marijuana. Mills’ measure cleared the committee — and it passed the House and the Senate. In June, Gov. Bobby Jindal signed it into law. The Alison Neustrom Act — named after a Lafayette Parish sheriff’s daughter who died of cancer in 2014 — tasks several statewide agencies with drafting the rules for planting, cultivating, dispensing, prescribing and ingesting medical marijuana in Louisiana. Doing any of those things right now is illegal. When Louisiana is still light years from the end of marijuana prohibition, how will the state grow and dispense a drug still listed by the feds as a Schedule I controlled substance that’s illegal to possess or use? “I think the next 12 months of development and rule writing and making everybody comfortable with what we’re doing … there’s a lot to prove before we move forward,” Mills says. “I’m optimistic, but there’s a lot of things that have to go right.” PAGE 18

Hashing IT OUT The state already has a prescription monitoring program to prevent abuse, and Mills says that also will be enforced with the new law to track who’s dispensing, where it’s going and ensure “a robust way of tracking from seed to product.” “You don’t want a
lot of doctor shopping, multiple locations being used (to acquire a prescription),” he says. “We’ve got the formula. We’ve done it before. It’s just incorporating it together.” Louisiana has one of the highest rates of prescription pain medication abuse in the U.S. and the 19th highest rate of drug overdose deaths, mostly from prescription medicines, according to a 2013 report from the Trust for America’s Health. “I would much rather my physician prescribe for me the refined medical marijuana oil than Oxycontin or Loritabs or Tylox or Percodan,” Mills says. Mills’ early concept for the prescription process would go like this: Doctors who want to prescribe marijuana would need a separate license and prescription pad, redeemable only at dispensaries with a special permit. “By doing that with two separate permits and separate licenses, we’ve given legal authority for that physician and dispensary solely for medical marijuana,” he says. All these guidelines can change next year — from the type of weed available to who can get it. The bill allows a 60-day window for the state agencies charged with the guidelines to ask legislators to update the law with new recommendations. The Department of Agriculture anticipates turning in its growing guidelines to legislators as early as January. Four states — Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington — have legalized marijuana for personal use, and 18 other states have taken steps toward allowing its medical use. Mills doesn’t want to confuse Louisiana’s baby steps with a sprint toward full-blown legalization. “Much younger generations are like, ‘This is great! When’s it going to happen?’ Then I got calls from people in their 70s who think it’s a gateway (to other drugs) and it’s horrible,” he says. “When I’ve had a chance to explain the medicinal purposes of the bill, it’s been very wellreceived, but I don’t think Louisiana is ready to go down that Colorado route until at least a lot is proven on this side. You wouldn’t believe some of the talks I’ve given — there’s people clapping for me thinking I legalized marijuana, then there’s people booing, because they think I legalized marijuana.” PAGE 20
GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 28 > 2015
“I get a lot of calls, even angry calls from folks thinking this was total legalization like in Colorado,” Mills says, “or they thought it was like Colorado and were excited about it.” The Alison Neustrom Act hands the future of medical weed in Louisiana to a handful of state agencies, including the state Department of Agriculture & Forestry, which will write the guidelines for growing; the state Board of Medical Examiners, which will regulate how it’s prescribed; and the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy, which will write the rules for dispensing. The agricultural centers at Louisiana State University (LSU) and Southern University have the first right of refusal to grow the state’s crop. If either agrees to do so, that AgCenter will be the sole provider for the state’s entire pharmaceutical-grade medical marijuana stock. The universities’ boards of supervisors ultimately will decide whether the AgCenters will go for it: There are several campuses and farm sites throughout the state but no plans yet for a pot farm. Until the Department of Agriculture & Forestry establishes those guidelines, “we’re kind of in limbo,” says Frankie Gould of the LSU AgCenter. Agriculture & Forestry also must determine the size of the site, but it doesn’t know the volume it will need to produce. The law also allows for 10 dispensaries throughout the state, but where they’ll go, who’s eligible to dispense and how pharmacies and companies can apply for permitting have not been determined. The law is deliberately narrow in scope. Mills says it was his best shot at getting something passed to get the wheels moving and the state’s powerful law enforcement lobby to at least agree not to oppose it. One thing is certain: Smoking weed is off the table even for medicinal purposes, since the law prohibits “inhalation” of “raw or crude” pot. The law currently allows a refined cannabis-based oil, which can be dispensed with an eyedropper, but has little if any THC, which produces the “high” associated with smoking pot. And the law covers only a few diseases, specifically glaucoma, spastic quadriplegia and cancer, if the patient is undergoing chemotherapy. “That’s the major thing that blows my phone up,” Mills says. “The biggest question mark, and the most questions I get, is ‘Why not this disease? Why not HIV?’ … [Patients can] have that conversation with their physician, let their physician become involved in it. If the physician thinks this therapy [is appropriate] for this disease state, they can communicate that back to their board. … Ultimately it’s going to have to be the doctor authorizing the medication.”

Mike Strain has a seed problem. Strain, Louisiana’s commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, is starting from scratch with an illegal product, and he’s looking at 20 states (including Colorado) for help in writing rules and regulating, processing and distributing marijuana — safely and with tremendous oversight. Even with layers of safeguard, the process is likely to draw federal scrutiny. But first he has to figure out where to get seeds. “We have to produce a pharmaceuticalgrade product and we don’t have any seeds, much less plants,” he says. “Think about logistics: Where are you going to get the seeds from? When you grow out that first batch of seeds, you have to have sufficient amount of seeds to produce a plant, a crop. We don’t have any seeds. We’re talking about the end product, but where are you going to get the seeds?” Legislators handed responsibility to university AgCenters for practical reasons — they have professional medical research teams, scientists and experts, who already study and engineer dozens of Louisiana crops — as well as for liability.
The state won’t be doing the growing. However, putting universities in charge of an illegal drug without federal approval could put them at risk when it comes to receiving federal funding. Mills says it shouldn’t be a problem. “There have been rulings by the DEA, by the Department of Justice, that if states have determined medical marijuana is legalized, they would basically let those states decide what to do and not be involved with it,” he says. “It’s still a Schedule I [drug] theoretically, but when it’s purely medicinal and the THC levels have been dropped, and the federal government is being forthright and honest, then law enforcement shouldn’t be an issue.” LSU already is performing marijuana research. This year, Dr. Chu Chen of LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans received nearly $500,000 from CB BioSciences to study the impact of THC on neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The company then will license and sell the results.

Meanwhile, as state agencies meet to discuss guidelines for the new law, people with a prescription for pot — procured from and filled in states where it has been legalized — can’t legally bring it into Louisiana. “They’re breaking federal law,” says New Orleans criminal defense attorney Craig Mordock. “This is an important first step … but being Louisiana, this isn’t going to be like California where anyone can get a prescription. They’re going to keep a tight lid on this.” Guarisco says there are too many agencies involved with the process, which could invite dozens of arguments, all presenting different problems to legislators and ultimately stifling the law or even killing it. “I think it’s sort of like pinning down Gulliver with a lot of Lilliputians,” he says. “You can move, but it’s going to be tough.” Guarisco also says bringing law enforcement to the table has and will continue to weaken the law. Despite legislators’ attempts to lift stiff penalties for possession, law enforcement officials largely want to keep pot illegal — and jails full. According to a 2013 report from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Louisiana’s marijuana arrests rose by 10 percent over the last decade, and the state spent nearly $47 million enforcing marijuana laws in 2010 alone. This year, however, the state’s ACLU, as well as sheriffs and district attorneys, supported
a measure to lower penalties for marijuana possession. Jindal signed it into law June 29. “You never see law enforcement people wanting to remove a law,” Guarisco says. “If you don’t have any sins, a preacher doesn’t have a church.” Jacob Irving, a 21-year-old LSU student with spastic quadriplegia, wore a dark suit to the state’s Senate Committee on Health and Welfare in April. The state’s 1991 medical marijuana law covers spastic quadriplegia, a debilitating type of cerebral palsy — but Irving hasn’t been able to access that treatment in his home state. Other prescription medications haven’t been effective, he said. “I have trouble sleeping and just doing anything,” Irving said. “Medical marijuana stigma is not helping. What’s going to happen when I apply for a job and I can’t move around? You think they’re going to give that to someone who isn’t able-bodied?” One month later, Irving testified again, this time in the House Committee on Health and Welfare, to usher the bill’s passage in the House alongside Mills. “If we make this thing work — the way these legislators debated it, and LSU and Southern AgCenters are involved, see if we can get the pharmacies involved and LSU involved and get a lot of science behind it and it becomes successful — you just never know,” Mills says. “If we don’t get the right parties involved and the rule making correct, this may just be the end.”
Cover Story
question &answeRX Is medical marijuana legal in Louisiana now? No. The Louisiana Legislature tasked several state agencies to write the rules for growing and dispensing medical marijuana, but there’s nowhere to get it — yet. Right now, only cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or people with glaucoma or spastic quadriplegia are covered, but they must wait for state agencies to write the rules for getting and using the drug.
Where can patients get it? It might take a couple of years before the crop is “ready” in Louisiana. Until then, try nearly half the country. Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington allow personal marijuana use, and 18 other states allow some form of medical use. When it’s ready in Louisiana, there will be 10 dispensaries throughout the state.
When — and if — LSU or Southern University AgCenters decide to grow and refine a pharmaceutical-grade product, which could take two years. The universities have first right of refusal to do the growing and refining. If they opt out, another process will determine who performs those functions. Meanwhile, lawmakers will have time to amend and or write new marijuana legislation.
What are the penalties
in Louisiana for possessing marijuana (medical or otherwise)? Possessing fewer than 14 grams carries a maximum sentence of 15 days in jail and a $300 fine. A greater amount than that on a first offense could result in up to six months in prison.

ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOR NEW ORLEANS KIDS
What is a Catahoula Leopard Dog, and why is it the state dog? A Catahoula Leopard Dog is an American dog breed that people think descended from a mix of native American dogs, bloodhounds, Spanish Mastiffs and Greyhounds in northern Louisiana. Since there’s a parish and a lake up there named Catahoula (a Choctaw word for “sacred lake”), it makes sense that the dog would have Catahoula in its name and that it also was named the state dog in 1979. As for the leopard part of its name, that comes from the fact that Catahoulas have lots of coat colors and patterns, including leopard spots. Other names for the breed are Catahoula Curs, Catahoula Hounds and “hog dogs,” because they used to be used to track and drive wild hogs. (Officially, they are herding dogs.) Catahoulas are also known for having eyes that look like “cracked glass” and prominent webbing between their toes, which makes them good swimmers and handy in the swamp.

pened in 2002, Mimi’s in the Marigny (2601 Royal St., 504-872-9868; www. mimismarigny.com) is hard to miss at the intersection of Franklin and Royal streets, where the 19th-century, two-story building’s exposed brick walls, colorful arching windows and traditional iron galleries give the building a distinct character. “We found the building in 2002,” says general manager Brooke Whitcomb. “It used to be an old Navy bank. You can still see the outline of the vaults on the floor. … The location lent itself really well to the idea we had: a dive bar but not a dive bar, with warmth and lots of open space.” The downstairs has a lively atmosphere with raised cafe tables, eclectic artwork, a pool table and jukebox. Upstairs has a different feel, with table seating for dining on tapas, and work by local artists on display. “We just remodeled the upstairs,” Whitcomb says. “It’s a changed space, but it’s also still the same. There’s a more chill and intimate vibe.” The upstairs level used to host live music every week, but now there will be live music only on special occasions. For the past two years, Mimi’s has been involved in a lawsuit with five neighbors who sued for alleged violations of the city’s noise ordinance. On July 1, the lawsuit was settled. Whitcomb says Mimi’s can host nine live shows per year, as long as the bar aquires a special events permit from the city and gives the neighbors written notice three weeks before an event. “So far we’ll be doing Halloween, New Year’s, Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest,” Whitcomb says. “We’re happy and have enjoyed all of our neighborhood support.” Mimi’s is known for its Portuguese- and Spanish-inspired tapas menu created by chef Heathcliffe Hailey. “Hailey has been with us since the beginning,” Whitcomb says. “He buys through local farmers and is always experimenting.

’ll always remember when I fell in love with collard greens. It was November 2011, and I was seated at the bar at the French Quarter gastropub Sylvain, and Alex Harrell was helming the kitchen. Covered in a light sheen, the collards were tender, smoky and surprisingly sweet, but not cloyingly so. I came across those greens again recently at Angeline, Harrell’s excellent new restaurant, which opened in March in the former Stella! space at the Hotel Provincial. The collards, which exude soft, smoky sweetness with the addition of bacon and raw cane sugar, came hugging Mississippi rabbit Milanese, one of the best items on Harrell’s menu of elevated Southern fare. The dish features a full leg quarter, deboned, pounded and coated with breadcrumbs, herbs and Parmesan. Fried crispy, the thick, dark golden crust gives way to juicy white meat. The rabbit is presented on pillowy spoon bread and topped with a generous dollop of tomato gravy that tastes warm and sweet, like the tomatoes were roasted in sunshine. Harrell’s cooking raises the bar on classical Southern cuisine, but there is something unassuming and personal in many of the dishes at Angeline, a quality that mirrors the restaurant’s elegant yet cozy aesthetic. Rust-colored banquettes line the main dining room and dark wooden tables match the thick, exposed beams of the ceiling. Floor-length drapes and whitewashed walls with wainscoting give the space a charming vibe reminiscent of a dinner party at a cozy townhouse. Bread service begins with buttery Parker House rolls and plump cornbread muffins, the latter of which get an indulgent addition of pork fat in the batter. For a decadent starter, plump oysters are tucked in a gratin of creamed leeks and mushrooms. The top is dusted with buttery cornbread crumbs and baked until golden brown leaving the inside saline-rich and creamy. Mussels are served with a bright green, vermouth-scented broth chock full of herbs and rugged hunks of fried bread. While delicious, the briny bivalves are immersed in too much broth and are messy and difficult to share. Harrell’s talents with vegetables extend well beyond collard greens. Cauliflower gets the royal treatment and the crunchy florets taste like they were bathed in brown butter. They are served on a bed of creamy olivade aioli and soft sheep’s milk cheese that packs just enough brininess to balance out the richness in the dish. A soup special of heirloom corn bisque included buttermilk and roasted fennel. The pale marigoldcolored soup was dotted with fresh herbs and tasted like summer. The kitchen appears to be very comfortable with smoke and the qualities it imbues, especially in vegetables. Okra is charred until crispy; eggplant is burnt

3-COURSE interview
Abbie Donaldson Spearfisher Abbie Donaldson, 28, recently captured the women’s world record in free-diving spearfishing when she caught a 62.5-pound cobia near Port Fourchon. The fish later was sold to the French Quarter seafood restaurant GW Fins. An aesthetician by trade, Donaldson grew up spearfishing and routinely sells fish to seafood distributors and restaurants in New Orleans. Many spearfishers sell to local restaurants, but Donaldson is the only female free-diving competitive spearfisher in Louisiana. Donaldson spoke with Gambit about spearfishing.
How did you get into the dangerous sport of spearfishing?
Donaldson: I feel like I’ve been doing this my whole life. I grew up in Baton Rouge, but we had a camp in Grand Isle, so we’d go down every year and it would be just the four of us — my brother, my parents and me — we all fish. When I was 7, I started going offshore and watching (my parents). By the time I was 12, I started scuba diving, and they would let me catch little fish. I started competing after that, and the last three years I’ve only been free diving. It’s a lot more challenging, but also thrilling, which I love. I think everyone who spearfishes is a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. It is really dangerous. Because you’re in the water with the fish, there’s the threat of getting tangled up and drowning. That and shallow water blackout, which is what happens whenever the brain has been starved of oxygen for too long and you faint (and drown). We’ve had a few friends in Louisiana die from that. I’ve been in the water with a lot of sharks; they’re all over. I’ve seen black tips and little silky (sharks) and every now and then I’ll see a bull shark. Usually, if I see a bull shark I’m getting out of the water. But I’m more afraid of jellyfish than I am of sharks, really.
How does one get started spearfishing commercially?
Are there a lot of fish on New Orleans menus caught by local spearfishers?
D: I’d guess that about 10 to 15 percent of the cobia sold at New Orleans restaurants comes from local spearfishers — and maybe some sheepshead, but it’s hard to say. Usually when I sell it, that’s the last I think of it. It’s a lot easier for us to shoot them than it is to wait for them to bite your hook. To make it worth it, cobia is really our thing. Sheepshead is sold at 89 cents a pound and cobia is $3.75 a pound. Most of the (cobia) we shoot are around 30 pounds, so that ends up being more than $100 per fish, which is nice. At least it pays for our trip. (Cobia) are more expensive because they taste really, really good. They’ve got great, firm white meat that’s easy to cook and tastes great. — HELEN FREUND
GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 28 > 2015
D: Anyone can do it, really. You basically just go on the (Louisiana) Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website and pay the $65 fee for a commercial selling license. It only covers certain fish, including cobia, sheepshead and a few other non-reef fish. For instance, if I wanted to sell red snapper, I’d need to get a reef permit, and those go for thousands of dollars. (After catching the fish) you can then sell them to local fish houses and restaurants that are covered within an applicable license. We need to make sure that we’re selling within our limits. You’re only allowed two (cobia) per day, per person. We normally go about 30 to 40 miles offshore but can go as far as 100-plus miles. The bigger fish usually like deeper waters, and (closer to shore) it’s just too murky, so we go to water we can see in. It’s amazing: All of a sudden it’s like a theater, and you’re surrounded by fish. We usually dive between 30 and 60 feet (deep) — it all depends on how deep the fish are. They’re fast, but the good thing about cobia is that they’re very, very curious creatures. You’ll see (them) swimming on your friends’ fins, just kind of following you to see what you are up to.

Several Louisiana breweries will release notable new beers in summer and fall. Baton Rouge’s Tin Roof Brewing Company will release a session IPA called Gameday IPA on Aug. 15. The 4.3 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) beer is hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo, Mosaic and Warrior hops and will be available on draft and in cans as the brewery’s fall seasonal offering. This is the first time a Louisiana brewery is releasing a wide-production session IPA — a hoppy beer that’s 5 percent ABV or lower. The style has NOLA Brewing will release its been exemplified by Founders Brewing’s first lager. All Day IPA, New Belgium’s Slow Ride, Stone Brewing’s Go To IPA and Courtyard Brewery’s Baby IPA (named because the brewer formulated the low-alcohol beer for his wife while she was pregnant). NOLA Brewing will release its first lager, a Munich dunkel style called Darkest Before Dawn, as its fall season beer. Many German beers follow the lager tradition, which involves using a bottom-fermenting yeast and fermenting the brew at cooler temperatures than would be done with ale yeasts. This dark, European-style lager will have a dark copper to brown color, and the aroma will be malty, but this style is not hoppy. The focus is on the grain bill, which features dark German Munich malts and a small amount of caramel and dark-roasted barley. Darkest Before Dawn will be have an ABV of between 5 and 5.5 percent. Bayou Teche Brewing is coming out with Knott’s Berry Beer in August, a French farmhouse ale brewed with blackberries and aged in sauvignon blanc barrels. Finally, Great Raft Brewing is releasing its third volume of Provisions and Traditions in conjunction with the John Besh Foundation. The newest version is an oak-aged marzen, a traditional German fall beer style, made with Louisiana cane sugar. It will be brewed in collaboration with Luke chef Drake Leonards and released in September. — NORA McGUNNIGLE Email Nora McGunnigle at nora@nolabeerblog.com

WINE of the week 2013 Garnacha de Fuego Old Vines C AL ATAY UD, SPAIN RETAIL $8-$10
This 10-year-old winery is a project of the prodigious Jorge Ordonez, who has introduced the world to many high-quality Spanish wines. In Spain’s arid, architecturally rich Calatayud region, winemaking began as early as 200 B.C. Calatayud, a DO (Denominacion de Origen) lies 55 miles from Zaragoza, amid rolling hills, orchards, rivers and vast mountain ranges. The region’s hot, dry summers are moderated by the south-facing slopes’ elevation, which reach nearly 3,000 feet above sea level. The altitude allows fruit to attain a favorable balance between residual sugar and higher alcohol potential. Hand-selected grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks, macerated for 10 days at 25 degrees and underwent malolactic fermentation in vats. The wine exhibits aromas of muted dark plum, blackberry, cherry, pepper and spice. On the palate, the bold, spicy wine bursts with ripened red and jammy black fruit, anise, hints of espresso and leather and well-integrated tannins. Decant 45 minutes before serving. Drink it with charcuterie, grilled meats, roasted game, ribs and strong cheeses. Buy it at: Martin Wine Cellar, Terranova Brothers Superette, The Fresh Market and Cost Plus World Market. Drink it at: Del Fuego Taqueria. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

On The Waterfall (ATO), My Morning Jacket fumbles through its pockets and finds scraps of every band it’s ever been: silo-shaking Kentucky farm boys, epically sad country balladeers, six-string-windmilling guitar heroes, orbital Saturn surfers, falsetto-funk JULY My Morning Jacket drag kings and baked-crispy chakra 7:30 p.m. Friday ramblers. It’s tempting to call this Champions Square seventh LP a something-for-everyone approach, yet Jim James does nothing LaSalle St. for anyone outside his five-man circle, (504) 587-3663 which has earned the loyalty and then some by remaining a contained unit www.championsthrough lean early years, several lineup square.com changes, the buzz-band buildup and the arena-headlining blowup, not to mention the mantle-shunning detours that followed — weird candylands springing “peanut butter pudding surprises” as if trying to lose their own scent. If it ever was gone, one whiff of The Waterfall confirms the return. Despite sounding different on every track, each song is unmistakably MMJ: escalating opener “Believe (Nobody Knows),” the triumphant crowd-rouser; groove-digging single “Compound Fracture,” the easy disco-baller; three-part prog sonata “In Its Infancy (The Waterfall),” the classic-rock anthologist; hayseed finger-picker “Get the Point,” the gentle thrill-killer. (Note the chord progression’s similarity to “Everybody’s Talkin’” and try not to Seinfeld sing-along: “I’m just drivin’ around in Jon Voight’s car.”) James saves the best of himself for last: seven-minute drifter “Only Memories Remain,” the gut-shot Marvin Gaye soul man. Pick up the deluxe edition for four more looks, including “Hillside Song,” a pseudo Inside Llewyn Davis outtake and the finest singer/songwriter sketch James has done since At Dawn. Tickets $36.10-$55.50 (includes fees). — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

FILM LISTINGS REVIEW
The Stanford Prison Experiment
The real-life events depicted in director Kyle Patrick Alvarez’s The Stanford Prison Experiment are familiar to just about anyone who took an introductory psychology course in college. In the summer of 1971, a group of 24 male college students participating in an academic study were assigned random roles as guards or inmates in a mock prison on a nearly empty Stanford University campus. What happened over the next several days said volumes about human nature and has remained a source of controversy and debate for more than four decades. That familiarity calls into question the need for a narrative film on the subject, especially one that recreates some scenes verbatim from original footage available on YouTube. But documentary-style context and analysis The Stanford AUG wouldn’t have added much to the The Stanford Prison Experiment. Starkly told, the story Prison Experiment still speaks for itself, and its central lesson — that people are capable of almost anything 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Thu. given the right set of circumstances — resonates deeply with 21st-century events, from recent incidents of police brutality to torture at Abu Ghraib. Though the film was stuck in Zeitgeist Muilti-Discidevelopment limbo for 12 years, its timing seems impeccable. plinary Arts Center, 1618 As The Stanford Prison Experiment begins, graduate students working with Stanford Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. psychology professor Philip Zimbardo (Billy Crudup) interview undergrads for paid partic(504) 352-1150 ipation in a study about prison life, screening for the least troubled applicants. Once the mock prison is up and running, it doesn’t take long for trouble to arise. By the second day, www.zeitgeistnola.org the “prison guards” embrace the kind of psychological cruelty of which most of us don’t consider ourselves capable, and the “prisoners” passively adapt to their roles and begin to lose their real-world identities. The experiment soon reaches a level of crisis and danger that exposes serious ethical quandaries, and which actually led directly to the establishment of strict guidelines for psychological research using human subjects. Though made with the involvement of the real (and now 82-year-old) Zimbardo, The Stanford Prison Experiment pulls no punches in its depiction of a man who is trying to examine the negative effects institutions have on the behavior of individuals, but also seems willing to participate in psychological torture for the benefit of his own career. Crudup’s fine performance makes that internal tension palpable while generating suspense regarding how far Zimbardo is willing to take his explorations. An ensemble of accomplished and experienced young actors including Ezra Miller (Trainwreck) and Tye Sheridan (Mud) renders the students’ psychological deterioration painfully real. That’s no small task, as their story might be dismissed as implausible today if it weren’t true. With The Stanford Prison Experiment, Alvarez also manages an authentic-looking early-’70s period piece that recalls the films of that era, even though much of his story takes place in a hallway that fills in for a prison yard. Though the particulars of the story could have happened at no other time, their underlying causes remain in effect. The potential for abuse of power may be rooted in human nature and shared by all, but that doesn’t make it any easier to accept. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW
Ceniztanos
Is contemporary physics overshadowing religion and philosophy? While most science sticks to matters tangible and quantifiable, modern theoretical physics often overlaps with the traditional metaphysical beliefs of Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. Throw in Albert Einstein’s attempts to find a Grand Unified Theory — his so-called “theory of everything” — and parallels with religion seem obvious. Visual art has always reflected the influence of science, religion and mythology, but very few artists have attempted a “theory of everything,” which is what makes the range of Joshua Edward Bennett’s Ceniztanos works at Good Children Gallery so unexpected. His exhibition concerns “symbols and their arbitrary and/or universal meaning, ritual/ ceremony, psychedelic visions, global connectivity on a psychic level, sacred geometry, awe, timelines, wonder, mechanical spirituality, tonal equilibrium and fascination with the other.” Quietly unassuming at first glance, his Ceniztanos: New mixed-media mixed-media concoctions are woven together in an THRU work by Joshua Edward Bennett improbably coherent fashion. AUG Good Children Gallery Crafted from precisely cut and painted aluminum and plywood, these polished constructions reflect design motifs 4037 St. Claude Ave. ranging from Pythagorean geometry to Peruvian textile (504) 616-7427 patterns. Elements of both appear in works like Ceybaiyi (pictured), the mysteriously iconic vibes of which recall the www.goodchildrengallery.com antiquity-based modernism of the Art Deco design movement of the 1920s, as well as a diagram I once saw in a BMW motorcycle repair manual. Yet more mind-bending are simpler compositions like Woxi and Swonaa Naoxi, cube and conduitlike forms that play visual tricks if your eyes linger on them, not unlike the optical illusionist art of M.C. Escher. More complex concoctions like Biydwa Fosajic suggest ancient computer circuit boards inexplicably recovered from the ruins of Machu Picchu. Bennett also composed a dronelike electronic music soundtrack that accompanies the show, and if Ceniztanos doesn’t quite equate to a grand unified theory of everything, it wades further into those deep and murky waters than most artists dare to contemplate, and we can only wonder what Einstein might have thought had he lived to visit 21st-century St. Claude Avenue. — D.

With the wide availability of special effects in movies, video games and even smartphone applications, it may be surprising to see young audiences gasp at the illusion of flight, but when Peter Pan helps Wendy Darling and her two younger brothers soar above the stage, it’s a captivating moment in Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts’ production of the Broadway musical. The adaption of J.M. Barrie’s story starts in the Darling bedroom shared by Wendy (Christian Tarzetti), Michael (Jaden Norris) and John (Simon Rucker), after the family dog (Katie Lynn Cotaya) finds herself unfairly exiled to the yard for sniffing out a mysterious nighttime visitor, Peter Pan (Ross Quinn). Peter lost his shadow during a previous visit and wants it back. Wendy helps sew it back on, and when Peter shares his story about living with fairies in an exotic land, she wants to go there with him. The Darling siblings fly with Peter to Neverland, where they meet the Lost Boys, flee from Captain Hook (Matt Reed) and make friends with an Indian tribe led by Tiger Lilly (Gabrielle Edgerson). There are many flying interludes in the show, including scenes in which an airborne Peter thwarts his nemesis Captain Hook aboard the Jolly Roger, but the production finds its warmth and appeal in its characters’ generosity and yearning to be part of a big family. Peter Pan doesn’t want to grow up, but even he likes the idea of having a mother. He recruits Wendy to play that role for the Lost Boys — though there’s something dated about Wendy wanting to act as their mother instead of enjoying the carefree spirit of youth like the boys. But even some of the pirates find themselves yearning for inclusion in a family. The large cast includes several clans — the Darlings, the Lost Boys, the Indians and the pirates — and the stage is often full and busy. Director Kelly Fouchi skillfully directs traffic as the Lost Boys befriend Indians and battle pirates. Fouchi also lets the young leads shine, particularly in solos including Peter’s “Neverland” and Wendy singing for the Lost Boys. Caroline Cuseo’s choreography is generally playful and silly, as in “Hook’s Tango” and “Hook’s Tarantella.” The swordfighting scenes aren’t as smooth as the flying jaunts, but a stage full of combatants keeps the action moving. Quinn plays Peter with confidence and gusto, reveling in his desire to stay young forever. Tarzetti is entertaining as the breathless Wendy who first encounters Peter and the determined young woman who looks after the boys. Reed is funny as a John Cleese-like Captain Hook and Gary Rucker steals a few laughs as Hook’s assistant Mr. Smee. Tucker Godbold is boisterous as the Lost Boy Tootles. There are a few jokes for adults, but the show is pitched at young audiences. Hook is at times a fearsome figure, but he also is comically inept and reduced to panic by his nemesis, a roving crocodile. (Following the show, Hook, Peter and Wendy are available for photos in the lobby.) David Raphel’s sets are detailed and maneuvered impressively as Rivertown’s modest stage is quickly transformed from the Darling’s bedroom to the two-tiered Lost Boys encampment in the tropical Neverland and pirates’ ship with mast and sail. Peter appears and takes off in a cloud of glittery confetti, or “fairy dust,” and the production is a charming spectacle for young audiences and a polished production by Rivertown Theaters. — WILL COVIELLO

This spectacular Thomas Sully Mansion, built in 1880 for Joseph Walker, was meticulously restored in 2002. Truly one of the Avenue’s finest examples of Queen Ann Italianate homes! The original details, beautiful inlaid pecan floors and spectacular gourmet kitchen make it an incredible home for entertaining and raising a family. The 3rd floor could be used as an apartment or a mother-in-law suite. Spacious carriage house, enough for overflow guests and the 4 car garage really comes in handy during Carnival!
