NIGHT VALE IS A PLEASANT TOWN
in the southwestern U.S. It’s normal, except for the occasional giant holes in the sky emitting ripping sounds and five-headed dragons. Aside from the angels wandering the streets, hooded figures in the parks, double secret police, The Lady from Italy and assorted conspiracy fodder, life goes on for residents, who can hear about the latest chaos via news and weather updates broadcast on the local radio station — available as the five-year-old serialized podcast, Welcome to Night Vale (www.welcometonightvale.com). The Glow Cloud is a popular recurring mysterious phenomenon/character on the show and has at times taken over parts of the town. In All Hail, the latest edition of the live stage version of Welcome to Night Vale, the Glow Cloud takes the airwaves. “The Glow Cloud takes over the radio station and (radio announcer) Cecil (Palmer) needs to figure out why,” says Night Vale co-creator and writer Joseph Fink. “Eventually the Glow Cloud speaks to us directly.” The live touring version of Welcome to Night Vale comes to the Civic Theatre July 12. The stage versions are not released as podcasts, but like the more than 110 editions available for free online, the standalone story of All Hail is accessible both to newcomers and longtime fans. The New Orleans performance will include Cecil Baldwin as radio announcer Cecil Palmer, Meg Bashwiner (who voices Deb and Proverb Lady and stage manages the show), Symphony Sanders (Tamika Flynn), musical guest Jason Webley and special guests. Night Vale isn’t the kind of place where just anything could happen. It’s the place where every manner of oddity and looming apocalypse converges, and the town’s people go about their daily lives as if that’s
normal. There are no explanations, just more updates. “We have no interest in ever explaining why Night Vale is weird,” Fink says. “Night Vale is just weird.” Fink and co-writer Jeffrey Cranor launched Welcome to Night Vale in 2012. Its popularity soon went viral, and its episodes have accrued more than 170 million downloads. The show has drawn interest from makers of video games, board games and other media, but the team has resisted giving up control of their story. Fink and Cranor released a best-selling novel, Welcome to Night Vale, in 2015, and a second novel, It Devours!, will be released in October. “It’s about science and religion and romance — and giant sand monsters that devour,” Fink says. While Night Vale remains their flagship, Night Vale Presents has launched three fictional serialized podcasts. Fink writes Alice Isn’t Dead, about a truck driver searching for his wife. Cranor co-writes Within the Wires, a set of odd instructional audio tapes. Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air) is written by Julian Koster of the band Neutral Milk Hotel and stars John Cameron Mitchell, creator of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Night Vale Presents also is launching two nonfiction podcasts this summer. Conversations with People Who Hate Me features Dylan Marron, who makes videos about social justice topics,

interviewing people who have sent him hateful messages on the internet. Fink is working with Mountain Goats singer John Darnielle on I Only Listen to The Mountain Goats, about music and songwriting with guests including Andrew Bird, Sylvan Esso and Amanda Palmer. Night Vale Presents also is considering other podcast projects. “We know a ton of people in theater and the writing world,” Fink says. “We know people in the music world because of Night Vale. The goal of our network is to reach out to these people doing incredible work in other areas and find a way to find a to do something cool in podcasting.”

The average sales tax in Louisiana. THE PELICAN STATE’S COMBINATION OF LOCAL AND STATE SALES TAXES IS THE HIGHEST IN THE U.S., according to a midyear report from the Washington D.C.-based Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy nonprofit group. While the 5 percent state sales tax isn’t particularly high compared to many others (ranking only 33rd in the nation), the average local sales tax rate of 5.02 percent puts Louisiana well at the top of taxing states and the only one topping 10 percent (Tennessee, at No. 2, has an average tax of 9.45 percent). Only three states have no local or state sales tax: Delaware, New Hampshire and Oregon. Alaska and Montana have no state sales tax, but do allow cities and municipalities to set their own rates. — KEVIN ALLMAN SOURCE: THE TAX FOUNDATION.

Essence also hosted its inaugural Celebrity Basketball Game to benefit Team HOPE.
narrates a five-minute video shot inside the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, the former Nazi concentration and extermination camp where more than 1 million people were killed. Higgins called it a reminder why the U.S. “must be invincible.” The museum’s Twitter account responded, “Inside a former gas chamber, there should be mournful silence. It’s not a stage.” We agree.
said “no real citizen” called for the removal of Confederate monuments in New Orleans, despite hearings, protests and debates over their removal and majority votes from three public bodies that agreed the statues should be removed. In a video posted June 25, she argues for the protection of the Capitol statue of Huey P. Long — even though there have been no calls to remove it.

I-10 News on the move
1.
THREE HEALTH CARE PROTESTERS ARRESTED AT CASSIDY OFFICE As part of a national demonstration urging U.S. senators to vote against repeal of the Affordable Care Act, three people were arrested July 6 while inside the Causeway Boulevard building that houses U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy’s Metairie office. Roughly 20 demonstrators demanding Cassidy vote against the Better Care Reconciliation Act joined a nationwide “sit-in” at Senate offices across the U.S., a multi-pronged effort coordinated by Democratic Socialists of America chapters as well as Democracy Spring, Our Revolution, #AllOfUs, Progressive Democrats of America, UltraViolet, The People’s Consortium for Human and Civil Rights, ResistHere.org and the Working Families Party. The national Sit-In to #StopTrumpcare also calls for single-payer health care through a Medicare For All platform. The organizations also called for senators to protect Medicaid, which likely faces cuts if the bill passes. More than 436,000 people in Louisiana have qualified for Medicaid coverage following the state’s 2016 expansion of the health program. After demonstrators arrived in the building’s lobby, property managers and Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JPSO) officers warned the protestors would be arrested if they remained on the property. About 30 minutes later, JPSO officers arrested three people — Mark D’Arensbourg, Laura Welter and Haley Saucier. JPSO deputies booked them with criminal trespassing for “remaining in place after being forbidden,” a misdemeanor that can carry up to six months in jail and a maximum fine of $500.

2. Quote of the week
3. State of the city
“The theme of this whole thing is: You’ve got to stay woke.” — Mayor Mitch Landrieu in an interview July 1 at the Essence Music Festival, which had presented him with an honorary “Woke” award the day before. Accepting it, he said, “The Haitian proverb comes to mind that after every mountain, there is another mountain,” Landrieu said after he accepted the award. “I was hoping that wasn’t the end of the proverb. When somebody first said it to me, I was thinking, ‘After every mountain we can take a lap around the pool and lay out and get a pina colada.’ I was hoping that was the end of the story.”
Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s 2017 State of the City address last week reflected on the “foundation” his administration set as the city looks to elect his successor, but he also underlined the city’s two ongoing “existential and immediate threats”: climate change and violent crime. Landrieu said violent crime remains “the most difficult, the most immediate and the most urgent issue we face,” and that it should be a rallying point for the entire city. “If young people don’t have good opportunities, if there’s no path to prosperity (other) than crime and drugs,” Landrieu said, “then we’ll continue to be cursed
4. Louisiana Secretary of State refuses Trump request for voter info
Louisiana joins a growing number of states across the U.S. refusing to submit detailed voter information to a commission assembled by President Donald Trump. In a letter from a presidential commission on “election integrity” sent to secretaries of state last month, commission vice-chair Kris Kobach asked states to submit a list of all voter names, addresses, party affiliations, dates of birth, the last four digits of social security numbers and voting history. On July 3, Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler said he doesn’t intend to release that information. “The President’s Commission has quickly politicized its work by asking states for an incredible amount of voter data that I have, time and time again, refused to release,” Schedler said in a statement
to Gambit. “My response to the Commission is, you’re not going to play politics with Louisiana’s voter data, and if you are, then you can purchase the limited public information available by law to any candidate running for office. That’s it.” Louisiana does, however, participate in the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, which Kobach instituted as Kansas Secretary of State, as well as the Electronic Registration Information Center. Crosscheck compiles voter databases to check whether people are registered in more than one state to determine whether they can be removed from voter rolls. Louisiana Secretary of State Press Secretary Meg Casper Sunstrom said the president’s commission hasn’t given states any assurance that the data will be secure or how it will be used, unlike the voter databases Louisiana currently joins. Schedler, a Republican, joins critics who argue the commission’s request could lead to voter disenfranchisement and voter suppression. The commission purports to investigate voter fraud, which numerous studies confirm has not happened on the scales of “millions” as the Trump administration has suggested.
5. NOPD proposes
new pay plan, raises
Following an increase in shootings in the New Orleans area, Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced plans for pay increases for New Orleans Police Department officers, including a 10 percent raise for entry-level officers, larger raises for sergeants and lieutenants and instituting a career track for detectives. The proposed pay plan aims to retain officers and incentivize new recruits. The pay changes will be funded by sales of city-owned property, including the World Trade Center site, and must be approved by the Civil Service Commission and New Orleans City Council. The city approved a 10 percent pay raise for NOPD in 2015 and a 5 percent raise for detectives earlier this year. “We believe this new pay plan is the best way forward to compensate our hard-working men and women in the department appropriately and to attract and retain the kind of experienced, accomplished police officers we want to be
protecting the people of New Orleans,” NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison said in a statement.
6. Report: Medicaid cuts harmful to Louisiana kids
More than 207,000 children in Louisiana have severe disabilities or special health needs, and nearly 60 percent rely wholly or partially on Medicaid to supplement their care. According to a June Democratic staff report from the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the U.S. Senate’s plan to gradually slash Medicaid funding will have “particularly harmful and lasting effects” on those children in Louisiana “despite the fact that these children have done absolutely nothing to warrant such treatment.” A June statement from the Children’s Hospital Association called on senators to reject the bill, which the group called “a major step backward for children and their health.” One year after Gov. John Bel Edwards approved Medicaid’s expansion in Louisiana, covering more than 436,000 people, Edwards and state health officials are urging the Senate to keep the program. The Senate plan would cut Medicaid funding over 10 years and leave more than 22 million people uninsured.
7.
Higgins and the Auschwitz video Back when he was a St. Landry Parish cop, U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins became a YouTube star of sorts with his hammy homemade videos vowing to track down criminals. Last week, however, his talent for video (and self-promotion) bit him hard, when a selfie video he recorded in a former gas chamber at the Auschwitz concentration camp drew wide condemnation for both the location and the message itself, which focused not on the Holocaust, but on “Islamic terror, the foreign horror that oppresses millions and intends to convert, kill or enslave the entire world,” as he put it. The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial & Museum issued a statement saying “Everyone has the right to personal reflections. However, inside a former gas chamber, there should be mournful
silence. It’s not a stage.” The museum also posted a photo of a sign outside the gas chamber, which said in German, Hebrew and English, “You are in a building where the SS murdered thousands of people. Please maintain silence here: Remember their suffering and show respect for their memory.” Higgins eventually offered an apology of sorts, saying he regretted any “unintended pain” the video may have caused. “My intent was to offer a reverent homage to those who were murdered in Auschwitz and to remind the world that evil exists, that free nations must remember, and stand strong,” he wrote. “However, my message has caused pain to some whom I love and respect. For that, my own heart feels sorrow. Out of respect to any who may feel that my video posting was wrong or caused pain, I have retracted my video.”

Stokes reveals breast cancer diagnosis; will not run for state treasurer State Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, who announced her intent to run for state treasurer earlier this year, sent a letter last week to friends and supporters revealing she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will not run. Stokes, who represents District 79 in the state Legislature, will continue in that job. “My passion to lead our state through this fiscal crisis remains healthy, true and undeterred,” she wrote. “By the time of the 2018 Legislative session, I will be energized, focused and ready to roll up my sleeves and help lead our state out of its current slump.”
9. Peterson decides not to run for mayor
Four days after telling Gambit she was seriously eyeing a run for New Orleans mayor, state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson decided against the notion, saying, “After careful consideration, I have decided not to become a candidate for Mayor of the City of New Orleans.” Before the July 4th weekend, she told Gambit’s Clancy DuBos, “I’m doing all the due diligence that a serious potential candidate has to do” and added that she had talked to declared candidate LaToya
Cantrell about the possibility, calling the District B councilwoman a “dear friend.” With nearly two decades in public service, Peterson was expected to be a strong candidate (and formidable fundraiser) in a field that includes former Judge Michael Bagneris, Cantrell, former Municipal Court Judge Desiree Charbonnet, businessman Frank Scurlock and registered nurse Ed Bruski. Other possible candidates whose names have been mentioned are Walt Leger, speaker pro tempore of the Louisiana House of Representatives; and businessman Sidney Torres IV. Peterson also is head of the state Democratic Party, as well as a vice-chair of civic engagement and voter participation of the Democratic National Committee. In an informal text message to some friends, she wrote, “State senate, DNC and Dentons [the law firm where she works] will keep me busy and fulfilled in my public service. Thanks for the encouragement. KCP.” Qualifying for the mayor’s race begins Wednesday, July 12 and ends Friday, July 14.

‘Recall Yenni’ campaign now takes aim at Yenni allies Metairie attorney Robert Evans, who spearheaded the unsuccessful attempt to recall Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni earlier this year, is now launching a new movement he calls “Defeat Yenni,” targeting those he sees as Yenni’s political allies — specifically Kenner Mayor Ben Zahn and his allies. Evans has sent a letter to a selected list of registered voters in Jefferson Parish, asking for their support. “I am writing to you to once again ask for your support in making sure that Parish President Mike Yenni does not get re-elected,” the letter reads, adding, “Wherever a Yenni ally seeks election or re-election, I will advocate the defeat of that ally to weaken Yenni’s attempted re-election effort. The next election of a proYenni ally is the re-election campaign of Mayor Ben Zahn of Kenner.” Evans did not respond to Gambit’s request for comment on Evans’ latest campaign. Qualifying for the Kenner mayor’s race will take place in spring 2018.

with the same violence the city has been cursed with for generations.” Landrieu pressed the need for comprehensive criminal justice system reform to change the “hangover from Jim Crow” that disproportionately locks up poor people of color and jails people for nonviolent crimes while breaking up families. Landrieu acknowledged that those longer-term plans likely will take years to show progress. “No one is happy with where we are,” he said. “People are afraid and I understand impatience and fear given the surge in violent crime. It’s disturbing and it’s unacceptable.” Landrieu also released the city’s Climate Action for a Resilient New Orleans strategy July 7, detailing plans to cut the city’s emissions in half by 2030. “No other city in the world has more at stake than New Orleans,” Landrieu said, adding the city needs to “go a step further” in addressing the state’s eroding coast and wetlands. “Anything less would be a grave betrayal to future generations.” But those challenges and the yearslong plans to solve them will remain with the next administration and incoming New Orleans City Council members. “The candidates need to tell us how they plan to take on these difficult challenges,” Landrieu said. “Details, not sound bites.”

OP-ED
The mayor responds Mayor Mitch Landrieu asked for space to respond to last week’s cover story, “Mayor Landrieu’s Legacy on Crime.” Here are his remarks. MAKING OUR CITY SAFE HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE MY NO. 1 PRIORITY. That’s not just campaign
rhetoric — reducing crime is what I think about every morning when I wake up and every night when I go to bed and plug in my iPhone. This past weekend at Essence [Festival], we again brought together mothers who have buried a child lost to gun violence. The pain never goes away, but together in a tearful room, we find solace and reaffirm our commitment to end the drumbeat of death and violence that plagues our city. This fight is something that is very personal to me. Over the last 20 years New Orleans has lost over 4,000 people to murder. For decades our murder rate has been six to eight times the national average. In fact, today, murder and violent crime rates are down over 60 percent from their historic peak in the 1990s. We are nowhere near any all-time highs. And even on our best day, in 1999, the murder rate was still six times the national average and double on violent crime. Still, it is important to note our progress. With guidance from former police chiefs and expert criminologists, mothers, neighborhood leaders and young people “in the life,” for the last seven years, we have pursued a deliberate and aggressive push against violent criminals, while we also sought to reinstall trust in a police department reeling from the Danziger [Bridge] and Henry Glover incidents. The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) we inherited was essentially bankrupt and under federal investigation. Together, we have reformed and restructured NOPD, increased the NOPD budget by 25 percent, aggressively pursued violent criminals, reformed the criminal justice system and launched NOLA For Life, a comprehensive murder reduction strategy. Since 2010, we’ve launched 13 new NOPD recruit classes with a total of 334 recruits. We’ve also provided NOPD a 15 percent pay raise across the board to improve recruitment and officer retention, plus an additional special pay raise of 5 percent to NOPD homicide detectives. We’ve reduced barriers to employment and completely remade the recruitment and hiring process, getting better each day. We are underway with over $40 million in investments in
overtime for our officers, new security cameras, license plate readers and funds to make sure every officer in Orleans Parish has a take-home car, which will help our deployment. We’ve modernized the department, taken officers from behind desks and added dozens of civilians to free up officers to fight crime. And earlier this week, we announced a new proposed pay plan that will address long-standing pay disparities between the ranks and provide better career tracks to help improve retention and recruitment further. NOPD also is one of the most open and transparent [police departments] in the country, with body-worn cameras and new constitutional policies, helping bridge the police-community divide. All of this will continue to improve our efforts to grow and improve the NOPD. But we will never fix the problem if we believe that police manpower is somehow responsible for the level of violence in this city. Law enforcement can’t do it alone, so the NOLA For Life plan also focuses on prevention and gets at the root of the problem. We’ve launched Ceasefire New Orleans to focus on interrupting violence by mediating neighborhood beefs and also a wildly successful midnight basketball program, which on Saturday nights has brought in off the streets over 8,000 young people and spectators. Our Health Department is working with the Children’s Bureau and other local partners, including our schools, to connect high-risk kids to caseworkers and counseling that can help them work through their often serious problems. We’ve focused on reforming the criminal justice system writ large — rightsizing the jail by instituting pretrial services, issuing summonses in lieu of making arrests and reducing barriers to re-entering society from prison. And we’ve focused on providing career pathways and new job opportunities for our young black men. OUR WORK IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SOME RESULTS. Confidence in the
police department is up. Response times are trending down. Our Multi-Agency Gang Unit has carried out aggressive enforcement policies to get 134 indictments from 15 different violent gangs and groups. NOLA For Life initiatives have helped over 32,000 New Orleanians
get assistance, whether it is finding a job or returning home after being released from prison. Ultimately, one of the greatest lessons I learned as your mayor is that after so many decades of violence and dysfunction, old patterns of behavior are hard to break no matter how much you throw at them. You will have both short-term success and setbacks. Though we have come a long way in seven years, crime remains our city’s toughest challenge. But now is not the time to turn back. We must keep pushing forward. We took the long view and are fixing the foundation. You see, reducing violence requires fixing all of the institutions that allow violence to flourish. That’s why you cannot talk about the fight against crime without talking about the city budget, criminal justice reform, health care, housing, transit and jobs. Making the city safe is about more than “getting tough.” It is about more than police, prisons and guns. It is about creating more jobs with better wages and pathways to prosperity for our young men. It is about improving schools, investing in recreation, investing in prevention, mental health and substance abuse. It is about fighting the opioid epidemic. It is about personal responsibility. It is about continuing to build trust with the community so we can solve more crimes. That’s how we will turn this around. When we get this right, the police and community become one, a united front against violent criminals. I ran in 2010 on a platform of making New Orleans a better place to live, work and visit. “I know what to do and how to do it,” said the television ads. By large measure, we have been successful — rebuilding the city, cleaning up corruption, balancing the city’s budget and going from a deficit to a surplus, reducing blight, improving recreation, rebuilding our roads and more. But no one is happy with where we are on reducing the level of violence in this city, especially me. Despite our successes, there is no doubt crime remains this community’s biggest challenge. That’s why it’s important, now more than ever, to continue to roll up our sleeves and work together. I can commit to you that it’ll continue to be my No. 1 priority between now and May 2018.

Of legacies and Landrieu LAST WEEK’S COVER STORY, “THE LANDRIEU LEGACY ON CRIME”
— an analysis of crime statistics during Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s two terms of office, written by a locally based, nationally noted crime analyst — drew more attention than many of our other recent cover stories. Landrieu himself asked for space to respond about his record, which we were happy to offer him (see opposite page). Some objected (without reading the story, it seemed) to the term “legacy,” as if that neutral word carried necessarily positive connotations about Landrieu’s time in office. Others (including the mayor in his response) pointed out that New Orleans’ long history of crime preceded Landrieu by decades, and that many of our city’s chronic ills — poverty, inequality, lack of access to education and social services — also affect crime rates. We agree, but our objective was to measure Landrieu’s efficacy in playing the hand he was dealt when he took office. That’s why the story by crime analyst Jeff Asher of NOLA Crime News stuck to verifiable numbers, including shootings, murders, NOLA For Life’s initial successes and the number of New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officers and recruits from 2006 to this year. Numbers have no political bias. By any account, and for a variety of reasons, violent crime is on the uptick compared to three years ago as Landrieu prepares to leave office next May. As of July 5, there had been 717 people shot in New Orleans over the previous 365 days, with 204 people murdered. New Orleans is not alone in this; killings have spiked in many American cities over the last 18 months. While Chicago often is mentioned as a particularly dangerous city, New Orleans’ per capita murder rate is actually higher than Chicago’s. Last week, one day before his twice-delayed State of the City ad-

dress, Landrieu and NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison, flanked by several City Council members, announced a proposed pay raise and new job classification system for NOPD officers. Though final details will need to be approved by the City Council and the Civil Service Commission, the proposal includes a 10 percent pay hike for entry-level officers and “still larger raises” for sergeants and lieutenants. Detectives, according to information provided by the city, also would see “better compensation.” According to the administration, this all can be accomplished, at least initially, by selling off some city assets — and not raising taxes. We look forward to all the details. Landrieu has taken a lot of flak locally from those who oppose the removal of Confederate monuments. He’s also received a good deal of positive national press for the same issue. More important, though, is his record on the nitty-gritty issues: balancing the municipal budget after the fiscal disaster of the Ray Nagin years, helping reform the NOPD — and yes, our city’s violent crime rate. Those will be his real legacies. “No one is happy with where we are on reducing the level of violence in this city, especially me,” Landrieu wrote in his letter responding to our cover story. “Despite our successes, there is no doubt crime remains this community’s biggest challenge.” On that, we all wholeheartedly agree with the mayor.

The Pendulum Effect
WHILE NO ONE CAN SAY WITH CERTAINTY WHO NEW ORLEANS’ NEXT MAYOR WILL BE, history offers some
insights worth noting. For example, we tend to elect young mayors when there’s no incumbent running. That’s not a rule, just a tendency. We also “tend” to elect men, but this time two of the leading candidates are women. One electoral tendency that I’ve noticed dates back almost a century. I call it The Pendulum Effect. When New Orleans voters choose a new mayor, they invariably pick someone unlike the mayor who’s leaving office — even if that mayor is relatively popular. That tendency is not limited to our mayoral contests; it’s been true in recent gubernatorial and presidential election cycles as well. However, while national and statewide electoral outcomes tend to swing back and forth between Democrats and Republicans, New Orleans voters are overwhelmingly registered Democrats. For that reason and others, our mayoral pendulum swings along a different axis almost every time. Sometimes it pivots along racial lines, sometimes along lines of personality, political style or range of experience. A look back at the last 50 years illustrates my point. Moon Landrieu, father of the current mayor, was thought by many to be New Orleans’ last white mayor when Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial became our first African-American mayor. Both men had strong personas and were steeped in the nuances of city politics. The pendulum then rotated from a racial axis to one of political style. The sometimes feisty Dutch Morial
was followed by Sidney Barthelemy, whose laid-back persona contrasted sharply with that of his predecessor. Barthelemy, in turn, was succeeded by Marc Morial, Dutch’s son, who brought back a high level of energy while maintaining a high level of affability as well. After Marc Morial, the pendulum rotated again, from political style to resume: Ray Nagin ran and won as a nonpolitician, an outsider with no ties to the city’s political establishment. After Hurricane Katrina and a recovery that was “stuck on stuck,” voters yearned for someone who knew how to be mayor — giving us another pendulum swing, another politician, another Landrieu. Voters no doubt will offer lots of reasons for choosing whoever becomes New Orleans’ next mayor. Certainly the issues of crime, blight, economic disparities and streets will resonate to varying degrees across the city’s 17 wards. But, at the end of the day, I think it’s safe to say voters will choose someone who, in ways that we might not foresee at present, stands in stark contrast to Mitch Landrieu. The question is not whether the pendulum will swing or rotate again but rather along what axis — race, age, gender, style or some other attribute? Quite possibly, it could be a combination of several of them. We may have an inkling when qualifying closes on Friday, July 14, but chances are it will take the rough and tumble of the campaign to show us how the candidates differ not only from one another, but also from the term-limited incumbent.

Hey Blake, What’s the word on the Choctaw Club, which was home to the “Old Regulars”? BARRY
Dear Barry, Technically, the Choctaw Club was a social club, though it always was closely identified with its political activities, which were coordinated through the Regular Democratic Organization (RDO), whose members were called the “Old Regulars.” As a result, the RDO, founded in 1874, became synonymous with the Choctaw Club, which was established in 1897. The groups’ powerful members controlled the political life of the city for more than 40 years. Longtime Times-Picayune political columnist James Gillis once called the RDO the local version of New York’s Tammany Hall, “a seemingly invincible patronage-oriented political machine.” In his book New Orleans: An Illustrated History, author John R. Kemp explains that the group was ruled by 17 leaders, one for each ward in the city. That group decided who would run for office with the RDO’s endorsement and its leaders worked with ward bosses and precinct captains to decide who would benefit from the patronage following a successful election. Mayor Martin Behrman, elected in 1904, became the candidate most associated with the club. As mayor for 17 years, he and his supporters benefited greatly from the RDO’s power. The group remained a force in city government until 1946, when mayoral candidate deLesseps
The Choctaw Club operated at this building on St. Charles Avenue from the 1930s until the structure was demolished in 1973. P H OTO C O U R T E S Y N E W O R L E A N S PU BLIC LIBR ARY
“Chep” Morrison defeated Mayor Robert Maestri, the RDO candidate. As for the physical location of the Choctaw Club, it first was housed in a building on Carondelet Street before moving to Canal Street. In the 1930s, it moved to a structure at 518 St. Charles Ave. that originally was built by architect James Gallier Sr. in 1841. The structure was demolished in 1973 and the site now is home to the Blake Hotel. The RDO remains active and endorses candidates for political office.
BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 90TH BIRTHDAY OF TOM BENSON , a billionaire and
the richest man in Louisiana. Born July 12, 1927 in the St. Roch neighborhood, Benson graduated from St. Aloysius High School (now Brother Martin). After serving in the Navy near the end of World War II, he worked as a bookkeeper for car dealer Mike Persia. Benson’s business empire began after Persia named him manager of one of his dealerships in San Antonio, Texas. In 1985, Benson bought the New Orleans Saints from John Mecom Jr. for $70 million. It took just one season for Benson, general manager Jim Finks and head coach Jim Mora to get the team to the playoffs. Though there was concern Benson would move the team to San Antonio after Hurricane Katrina, that did not happen. In 2010, the franchise won its first Super Bowl. Benson also purchased the city’s NBA team in 2012, renaming it the Pelicans. He and his wife Gayle remain major business and philanthropic leaders in the region.

WHAT’S IN STORE
Luck of the Irish BY KELLY ROSE
KERRY IRISH PUB (331 Decatur St., 504-527-5954) in the French Quarter is owned by New Orleans native Doris Bastiansen. Kay Harris, a friend of Bastiansen’s, opened the pub in 1993 and asked for her help to get the fledgling business off the ground. Bastiansen agreed. But in 2000, Harris died and Bastiansen decided to take over. “I had a personal attachment to the Kerry and I didn’t want to see it become another daiquiri shop or T-shirt store,” she says. “It had a special feel and I wanted to keep that. Plus, I was emotionally attached to this place. I probably bought this place for all of the wrong reasons, but it ended up being for the right ones.” Bastiansen also works in the shipping industry. That keeps her busy during the day, but most evenings, she oversees the goings-on of the Kerry. She’s easy to spot: She’s only 4 feet 11 inches tall and usually is perched near the coffee machine at the end of the bar. “I like it there since I can see everything from that spot,” she says. Bastiansen keeps Kerry Irish Pub true to its Irish name. There is an Irish national flag on the wall, an assortment of photographs of Ireland and pictures of many of the musicians who have played at the Kerry over the years. Live music is a big draw, and Bastiansen is committed to keeping local musicians onstage. “I love live music and I wanted to provide a way to showcase local

We really offer a little bit of everything.” Musicians such as Lynn Drury and Kim Carson have performed there since the pub opened. Even though the pub is in the French Quarter, it gets a mix of both locals and tourists. “Many of our tourists are international visitors,” Bastiansen says. “One of the biggest compliments I get is when people visit from Ireland or England and they comment on how much Kerry Irish Pub is like their favorite pub back home. … We

LITTLE PRINCE CHARMING TREME
Street APPEAL PHOTOGRAPHS BY CHERYL GERBER
ONE PHOTOGRAPHER’S VIEW OF LIFE IN
ew Orleans
EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID, I LOVED BEING ON THE STREETS OF NEW ORLEANS. Whether I was hang-
ing out on St. Charles Avenue for Mardi Gras, shopping the then-fancy Canal Street for Christmas gifts or just strolling down Magazine Street to visit my grandmother, I relished the chance to see a police officer, the mailman or a foul-mouthed drunk stumbling out of a bar. New Orleanians live on the streets, and I’ve spent a great deal of time observing our unique street scene. Though I’ve made my living for the past 25 years as an assignment and event photographer, it’s street photography that feeds my soul. I first hit the streets in the early 1990s with my mentor, Michael P. Smith, who opened up the world of New Orleans street culture to me. I was thrilled to work next to the photography icon as he weaved effortlessly in and out of second lines, seemingly unnoticed. But when it was time for me to start shooting, I stood out like a sore thumb. Many people threw their hands over my lens, second liners yelled at me to “get out the way,’’ and I was even run over a couple times. I was often too timid to point a camera in someone’s face, so I’d try to sneak photos without asking. When I was

caught, sparks flew. During my first Super Sunday, a Mardi Gras Indian leveled his wrath at me, and I swore I’d never take another photo. Smith half-jokingly told me, “Be careful who you shoot, because they might shoot back.’’ He taught me the etiquette of street photography, how to approach people and when to stay out of the way. I’ve been shooting ever since. Though I’ve never been in peril of being shot, I have been yelled at, had a tomato thrown at me and been cursed by “Ruthie the Duck Lady” and the “Lucky Bead Lady’’ in the ’90s, and by the “Pie Lady” in 2000. Sometimes it’s hard to convince someone why they are photo-worthy, and just as often why they are not. While photographing Super Sunday recently, I caught the attention and ire of an older African-American woman who caught me framing her through my lens. “Baby, what are you photographing?” she yelled from the neutral ground. “The (Mardi Gras) Indians are way over there!’’ she yelled pointing into the distance. SHOOTING ON THE STREETS CAN BE CHALLENGING but mostly entertain-
ing and rewarding. I was standing at the corner of Canal Street and St. Charles Avenue on a dreary day, lamenting the current political state of our country, when a red streetcar pulled to a stop right in front of me. The door popped open, revealing a middle-aged man seated in the conductor’s chair dressed in red, white and blue from head to toe. My entire mood changed. The day didn’t seem as dreary any more. I take to the streets with high hopes of chance encounters I wouldn’t find anywhere else. I’m drawn to the many strange and imaginative ways people reveal themselves in public, through fashion, body language, their pets and the indelible marks they leave on facades. Through photography, I hope to depict the social ironies and contrasts that make life in New Orleans so rich and diverse. My goal is for my photographs to create a deeper understanding of who we are and who we are becoming. Now more than ever, I feel an urgency to document the evolving landscape of New Orleans because it’s changing so fast and I’m afraid if I blink, I might miss something. In a microsecond, the camera captures the moment between the past and the future, technically freezing time.

Gentrification has been the most obvious change to our historic neighborhoods, but there are other factors. The smoking ban has pushed patrons into the streets, LED-lit bikes illuminate the night, a new mural seems to pop up every week on St. Claude Avenue and a proliferation of Airbnbs has brought hordes of frat boys carrying cases of Budweiser through the 7th Ward. More important to me than the changes I see on the streets are the dwindling signs of the old New Orleans, with older buildings and hand-painted signs being replaced at an alarming rate. Yet, the city’s strongest tradition of street culture continues. I still can’t resist a good second line. While the music and styles have changed and hover boards and hot rods have become part of the scene, the spirit of individual freedom and expression endures.

PORCH SONG
PHOTOGRAPHING STREET CULTURE TODAY is much different than it was 25 years
ago. With the proliferation of digital and surveillance cameras, people are getting accustomed to being watched and seem less angry when they notice a camera pointed at them, though it still puzzles and disturbs some. I often grapple with the accusation that I exploit people. It’s true, but never my intention. (I often feel like I’m exploiting myself when I’m focusing my lens.) There is a profound solitude when shooting in public that forces me to constantly listen to instincts and impulses. My primary interest has always been observing people and recording the marks they leave on New Orleans. Smith gave me some great advice when I was just starting. He told me to pay attention to hairdos and T-shirts, because they mark time. He also said to focus on kids, because you don’t know who they will grow up to be, and photograph old people, because you don’t know when they might die. “And go where the people are — out on the streets,’’ he said. I often wonder what Smith would think of New Orleans today. I hope he’d find it as beautiful as I do.

Bubbly spot
Out of Provisions
Effervesence focuses on sparkling wine BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund
CONTINENTAL PROVISIONS, the gour-
IT’S A BUBBLY, SWANKY AFFAIR at
Effervescence, the Champagne bar on Rampart Street. At this homage to all things sparkling, a baby grand piano anchors the dining room and tall ceilings and crown molding imbue an air of elegance. Marble countertops and dim lighting set the mood for a decadent experience. It’s also a smart, calculated kind of elegance, and the attention to detail is striking. The Champagne theme extends beyond the drink list, from the cork menu design to the napkin holders — featuring a muselet, the wire cage that holds a cork on a bottle of sparkling wine. There’s a decent selection of beer, wine and liquor, but this is first and foremost a Champagne bar. The well-curated list of all things bubbly offers 17 sparkling wines by the glass and a lengthy list of international and domestic bottlings. There are high-profile selections from top Champagne houses as well as lesser-known bottles from the same estates or vineyards. Whimsically named Champagne flights offer guests an informative way to sample several bubblies. Some of the regionally focused options are The Italian Job, the Spanish Prisoner and Born in the USA. Though sparkling wines are the main attraction, food is far from an afterthought. While diminutive in size, the menu showcases chefs Evan Ingram and Brenna Sanders’ talents and dexterity in the kitchen and left me wanting more. Bar snacks include popcorn drizzled with Castelvetrano olive oil,

Naturally, there’s caviar on the menu, and while an order of the Royal Sturgeon Reserve will set you back $95, the deliciously briny local bowfin Cajun caviar ($35) is a worthy alternative. The roe is served with creme fraiche, a delicate mound of finely chopped chives and addictively crunchy and spicy house-made potato chips. The grilled half wheel of Delice de Bourgogne is a nice detour from ubiquitous cheese and charcuterie plates. Here, thick sticks of olive oilslicked bread are toasted and served with the wedge of melted cheese and a handful of warm, sweet barhi dates. One of the standout dishes features refreshing sweet heirloom tomato pieces served with avocado on a bed of lemony and lighter-thanair sheep’s milk feta. The medley is topped with crispy sprouted lentils, sorrel leaves and a bright yuzu dashi vinaigrette. Slightly larger in size is the plate of beef and panisse bites, which

Creamy chickpea filling makes up the base of the panisse cakes, which have a pudding-like consistency and arrive topped with thick slices of beef and a drizzle of sauce chasseur. A romaine lettuce dressing pools on the side of the plate, offering a snappy and herbaceous respite to the richer elements.

Morris Richardson FARMER MORRIS AND GLORIA RICHARDSON raise goats and lamb on their farm in
Wiggins, Mississippi. They sell dairy products, goat and lamb meat and goat milk-based skin care products via their website (www.msgoatlady. com) and at farmers markets, including the Tuesday Crescent City Farmers Market at 200 Broadway St. Morris spoke to Gambit about their farm.
How did you get into farming? RICHARDSON: The farm has been in my wife’s family since 1895 — continuously farmed since 1895 with livestock and vegetables. We started the goat business in 2000. My wife had been given some goats, and she had read an article in Progressive Farmer that it was the fastest-growing smallfarm business in the country. She decided we should give it a try. She was given nine goats. The next year we purchased more; we were up to 150. We jumped in with all four feet. We were the first farm licensed to sell goat meat in Mississippi. For a couple years, we sold only the meat. We had it processed at a state-inspected facility. A few years after that, we were asked for dairy products.
How did you learn about the dairy business? R: We built our own dairy herd. There are different types of goats; some produce more milk. It’s like a Jersey cow and a Black Angus cow — one is bred for meat, the other is bred for milk. Our dairy goats are LaMancha and Nubian goats. We built our own processing plant. We are a USDA-inspected dairy facility. We started making
dairy products in 2012. We had someone teach us how to make cheese, but from there it was trial and error. We focus on soft cheeses like chevre, and we do some hard cheeses. We do cheddar and feta. Cheese is really simple actually. People have been making cheeses for thousands of years. It’s about repetition.
Have farmers markets helped your business? R: We sell directly from the farm. We have some stores where we sell dairy products in Mississippi, and we have several farmers markets. We do the Tuesday Crescent City Farmers Market in New Orleans. We do Ocean Springs (Fresh Market) in Mississippi on Saturdays and Long Beach (Farmers Market) on Saturdays and the Pine Belt (Farmers & Artisans) Market in Hattiesburg on Thursdays. We like the exposure and it’s worthwhile. It’s one-on-one with the customer. It’s a very good way for people to buy directly from the food source. It’s a good way to meet customers and show them the different products. The farmers market business has grown for us. But we’re a three-ring circus with two clowns running it. We’d need more resources to go to more markets. — WILL COVIELLO

Wayward Owl Brewing Company (3940 Thalia St., 504-8271646; www.waywardowlbrewing. com) will release Dat Radler, a tart, fizzy brew made with mango and passion fruit. It is 4.7 percent alcohol by volume. It will be available exclusively in the brewery tasting room beginning Tuesday, July 11. Beer lovers who want something light but with more flavor than mass-produced lagers can find many options on local store shelves. Here are a few choices from craft breweries in the surrounding region: • Abita Brewing Company (Abita Springs). To-Gose is a vintage German-style brew with mild sourness, accented with the addition of lime, coriander and sea salt. • Gnarly Barley Brewing Company (Hammond). Catahoula Common is a crisp, medium-bodied pale lager with a clean finish. • Great Raft Brewing (Shreveport). The recently reformulated Southern Drawl pilsner is made with
Louisiana rice and dry-hopped to get a floral hop aroma. • NOLA Brewing Company (New Orleans). Hurricane Saison is a traditional Belgian-style summer brew made with cumin, peppercorns and grains of paradise. • Saint Arnold Brewing Company (Houston, Texas). Summer Pils is a classic pilsner with a light body and malty sweetness. • Southern Prohibition Brewing (Hattiesburg, Mississippi). Suzy B is an easy-drinking blonde ale with a hint of wheat. • Urban South Brewery (New Orleans). Coop’d Up is a slightly tart farmhouse beer with a light golden color and dry finish.

2015 Laurenz V. Singing Gruner Veltliner Niederosterreich, Austria Retail $16
THE AUSTRIAN WHITE WINE GRAPE gruner veltliner likely dates to Roman times, but its name first appeared in the middle 1800s. It first began to earn respect a century later, and in recent years some gruner veltliners scored higher than wines from Burgundy in blind tastings. The Laurenz V. winery works with no other grape, and the family is credited with bringing gruner to the forefront of wine appreciation. This wine was crafted by father Laurenz Moser and daughter Sophie. Grapes were sourced from vineyards on loess and gravel soils in the Kremstal subregion of Niederosterreich. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. In the glass, the crisp, zesty wine offers aromas and flavors of citrus, apple and floral notes, lime and white pepper. On the palate, it delivers a burst of acidity, minerality and a clean finish. Drink it with Asian dishes, seafood, salads, vegetables, cured meats and cheeses. Buy it at: Whole Foods Market on South Broad Street. Drink it at: Luke, MoPho and Deutsches Haus.

Busdriver
HIP-HOP OFTEN GETS BIFURCATED into hard (gangsta) and soft (conscious) • July 16 boxes, but iconoclasts like Andre 3000 • 9 p.m. Sunday and Kendrick Lamar exploded that no• Gasa Gasa, 4920 Freret St., tion and made what once was a strange underground into the new mainstream. (504) 338-3567; A 20-year O.G. among weirdo emcees, www.gasagasa.com Busdriver, aka Los Angeles native Regan Farquhar, probably wonders what took so long. (“It’s easy to stop eating when your belly’s full / Like it’s easy to stop learning when you’re failing school.”) Or he’s had enough with the artistic gentrification of his chosen medium. (“Highbrow wanna colonize the streets of Compton / ’Cause there are no yoga spots, no vegan options.”) Or, more likely, he just wants everyone else to do their thing so he can keep doing his. (“I can run the world from my momma’s house.”) Given his penchant for chaotic production orgies and the buckshot nature of his flow, it’s amazing how often he hits his targets on 2014-15’s LP/mixtape combo, Perfect Hair (Big Dada) and Thumbs (Temporary Whatever). The latter in particular makes space in 41 minutes for a dozen producers and at least as many guest stars, including man-of-the-moment Anderson .Paak, off-the-trailblazer Del the Funky Homosapien, actor/musician Daveed Diggs (halfway to an EGOT — Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony — for his work in Hamilton), Hemlock Ernst (aka Samuel T. Herring of synth-rockers Future Islands) and Kool A.D. (one-third of punchline-rappers Das Racist). They all take a backseat to the man driving the bus, whose careening impulses swerve from radio-catchy (“Much,” “Worlds to Run”) to radioactively caustic (“Hyperbolic 2,” “NY 03 LIVE”).

WINNING! REVIEW
The Survivalist
IT’S EASY TO FORGET HOW CRUCIAL A ROLE sound plays in the experience • 4:30 p.m. & 9:15 p.m. daily of a film. Neither dialogue nor music • Chalmette Movies interrupts the first 17 minutes of first-time • 8700 W. Judge Perez Drive, feature director Stephen Fingleton’s riveting dystopian thriller The Survivalist. Chalmette Set in an unspecified future in which oil • (504) 304-9992 production has ceased, industrial food • www.chalmettemovies.com distribution has collapsed and populations have plummeted, The Survivalist uses its extended introduction to COURTESY IFC FILMS acclimate audiences to the film’s unique minimalist style. The emphasis is on visual storytelling as the soundtrack presents ambient forest sounds and the soft clatter of tools and implements used to sustain the solitary life of the title character (who remains unnamed) on a small farm. The Survivalist reduces film to an elemental state to reflect what happens to human life when food is scarce and survival is everything. It’s not often viewers see form and content working together like that on film. Survivalist (Martin McCann) can’t remain solitary for long. His cabin and farm are under constant threat from other survivors willing to kill for food. When Kathryn (Olwen Fouere) and her teenage daughter Milja (Mia Goth) arrive at the farm seeking food and shelter, Survivalist must decide if some form of companionship is worth the mortal risks and division of scant resources. Ultimately, the film is about how human relationships are transformed by dire need. How can anyone be trusted under circumstances like these? The limited use of dialogue even after additional characters arrive (Fingleton has said there may be 100 lines of dialogue in his 103-minute film) resonates with the film’s larger themes and bolsters its realism. Communication tends to be efficient when used mainly to help others stay alive, and no one has energy to waste on idle chatter when there’s not enough food to go around. In a film like this, quiet scenes always suggest their own sudden and potentially violent disruption. The Survivalist maintains an extraordinary level of tension and suspense throughout. As well-conceived and executed as it is, The Survivalist wouldn’t get far without the performances required to drive its visual storytelling. McCann (who, like Fingleton, hails from Northern Ireland) has had small roles in both British-made and Hollywood films and here shows the presence and acting chops to keep viewers fully engaged. Goth (Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac films) brings depth to a character who emerges slowly over the course of the film. Authenticity and plausibility are The Survivalist’s essential ingredients, and the actors — wearing no makeup and appearing almost dangerously thin to reflect the famine depicted in the story — supply those elements in spades. The Survivalist reportedly emerged from its writer-director’s desire to mount an all-analog work of science fiction that needed neither special effects nor a large budget to make its mark. Fingleton’s film illustrates how the right story idea can bring a goal like that within reach. There’s nothing quite like a good post-apocalyptic drama, a subset of science fiction to which The Survivalist makes a vital contribution. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW IN THE 21ST CENTURY we have
HERstory and New Work by Keith Duncan
quick access to information, but many of us have less and less time • Through July to make sense of it all. There also is less time for the ordinary rituals HERstory: Group exhibition of that traditionally held lives and paintings by black artists families together. Depictions of such everyday acts, called genre • Stella Jones Gallery paintings, went out of style ages 201 St. Charles Ave., Suite 132 ago but recently have made a (504) 568-9050 comeback. The HERstory show at Stella Jones Gallery features work www.stellajonesgallery.com by blue-chip black artists — with a number of genre scenes in which New Work: Paintings by Keith Duncan women play a prominent role. • CANO Creative Space Phoebe Beasley’s Fine China (pictured) is an alluringly stylized view 1307 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. of an affluent family around the (504) 218-4807 dinner table. The familiar family www.cano-la.org trappings all are present, but the cool yet charged body language suggests a short story where intrigue and ironies play out just below the surface. Wayne Manns’ Grandma’s Biscuits is a vintage view of a family having breakfast. Much earthier in tone, its powerful brushwork would make it look at home in a museum, so it’s startling that his regular exhibition space is actually Jackson Square. Works by art stars including John T. Scott, Elizabeth Catlett, Gordon Parks, Faith Ringgold, Samella Lewis and Barbara Chase-Riboud round out this diverse and eloquent expo. Keith Duncan’s genre scenes at the Creative Alliance of New Orleans (CANO) gallery include two series with different perspectives. Initially, the smaller works are reminiscent of cliche New Orleans postcard scenes from a glossy tourist brochure — until you notice the homeless and impoverished people woven seamlessly into the imagery. Duncan’s major masterpieces are his two almost wall-size paintings, Wedding Reception and Funeral Repass — complexly ribald works like modern Creole versions of the often hilarious yet quintessentially human interactions immortalized by maestros ranging from Pieter Brueghel the Elder to Thomas Hart Benton and Archibald Motley. It’s amazingly evocative, flamboyantly painted stuff. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

REVIEW
Triassic Parq
VIEWERS OF THE FILM JURASSIC PARK may feel terrified for the story’s imperiled staff PHOTO BY BOB MURRELL and visitors, not to mention the pathetically bleating goat, but do they wonder how the dinosaurs feel? The monstrous, prehistoric, genetically engineered beasts are imprisoned by electrified fences on a remote island and used as entertainment for ecotourists. That is the perspective taken by playwright and songwriter Marshall Pailet in an alternative, musical interpretation of Michael Crichton’s science-fiction fantasy. Triassic Parq, produced by See ’Em On Stage at The Valiant Theatre, leaves much to the audience’s imagination. Its cast is not disguised in reptilian garb, although their postures suggest ponderous tails and hands like claws. T-Rex 1 (Shelby Duhe) stomps onstage with thunderous, club-footed steps, occasionally erupting in an earth-shattering roar. This kooky but ingenious spoof features singing and dancing dinosaurs, imposing human emotions on creatures that historically and scientifically are presumed to act totally on instinct. Triassic Parq dinosaurs are sensitive, experiencing love, joy, jealousy, hope, compassion and desire. Velociraptor of Faith (Christopher Bentivegna), their spiritual leader who appears wearing a flowered headdress, even tries to befriend a baby goat. Despite good intentions, he succumbs to his basic instinct to rip off its head. He feels remorse and the goat forgives him. Velociraptor of Innocence (Jake Weaver) longs to escape the island entrapment, swim with the dolphins and learn to fly. He is searching for greater understanding of his world, asking: “Do you ever notice that when you question something, you start to question everything else?” The island is populated by females, theoretically making it a peaceful place. Two Tyrannosaurus Rexes share a close friendship until one (Kathleen Moore) develops a mysterious appendage. She begins to wonder if her relationship can survive the troubling transformation. The T-Rexes sing a poignantly beautiful duet, “Love Me as a Friend,” which is so lovely, it would have befitted The Hunchback of Notre Dame. T-Rex 1 philosophically concludes, “Love and faith and science don’t agree.” Newfound sexual urges lead T-Rex 2 to seek a new type of stimulation, betraying their relationship and causing evolutionary meltdown. The preposterous premise works because the script is thought-provoking as well as entertaining. The cast’s musical talent is impressive, with soulful vocals by Moore, who has performed for years with her uncle Deacon John Moore, and Duhe and Weaver, who both are majoring in musical theater at Loyola University. Pianist Ronald James Joseph interjects himself into the action, seemingly surprising actors and audience members. The Mime-a-Saurus (Josie Gautier) added another dimension of comedic communication to the show. There was fun choreography, with some sequences resembling Schoolhouse Rock! and one number seeming to steal a page from the traveling salesmen scene in The Music Man. Triassic Parq is a crazy comedy that cracks open sympathetic emotions for a pod of misunderstood and complex creatures while leaving the audience roaring. — MARY RICKARD
