SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Flood City

Marshal law

THU.-SUN. SEPT. 1-17 | The NOLA Project premieres a dark comedy about survivors of two disasters to hit Johnstown, Pennsylvania — a flood in 1889 and the collapse of the steel industry a century later. At 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at NOCCA.

Southern Decadence embraces marriage equality and LGBT revelry

Mark Normand THU. SEPT. 1 | Mark Normand was born and raised in New Orleans and honed his sharp and refreshingly old-fashioned stand-up here before there was a comedy scene. Normand has notched a Comedy Central half-hour, several Conan spots, and has been Amy Schumer’s longtime opener. Local comedians Matt Owens and Cassidy Henehan also perform at 8 p.m. at The Joy Theater.

BY WILL COVIELLO THE SOUTHERN DECADENCE CELEBRATION HAS A THEME, but it isn’t

the most obvious or necessary thing to revelers at what’s become one of the nation’s largest festivals for the LGBTQ community. Chosen by the event’s grand marshals — including Jeffrey Palmquist, Felicia Philips, Tony Leggio and Derek Penton-Robicheaux this year — the theme is for the Sunday afternoon drag and costume parade, a highlight of the 45-year-old Labor Day weekend event. The grand marshals chose “Decadence Takes the World” as the theme for 2016 event, and it is meant to be open to interpretation, PentonRobicheaux says. “(The LGBT community) is more integrated now,” PentonRobicheaux says. “We’re including the world because the world is more inclusive of us.” Penton-Robicheaux is the executive director of the Louisiana Equality Foundation, a statewide organization that advocates for the LGBT community on issues ranging from bullying and homelessness to substance abuse. (He’s also a longtime Decadence attendee.) Along with his husband Jon Penton-Robicheaux, he was the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that challenged a Louisiana law prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying. Though they were married in Iowa, their union wasn’t recognized by Louisiana. (The U.S. Supreme Court legalized marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges in June 2015, just before their case was decided by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.) There were many married couples in the 2015 Decadence parade, says longtime Decadence organizer and Ambush Magazine publisher Rip Naquin-Delain, who served as one of that year’s grand marshals.

Decadence is not a political event, though some of the satirical costumes in the parade (2 p.m. Sunday) address political topics (New Orleans’ PRIDE, which is more politically grounded, takes place in June). “Decadence is about people being out and having a good time,” PentonRobicheaux says. “It’s like Mardi Gras. You can come out and be yourself.” The grand marshals and their entourages march in front of the parade, which starts at the Golden Lantern and snakes around the French Quarter. Anyone can march in the procession and it typically includes people in drag, outrageous costumes and large costuming groups. “There’s one group of 50 or 60 that comes from San Francisco every year,” Naquin-Delain says. “One year they all dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. They were great.” In recent years, Carnival marching groups have joined the parade. Southern Decadence has grown despite starting nearly from scratch each year. Organizers counted more than 200,000 attendees at 2015 events. By tradition, the grand marshals choose the following year’s grand marshals, and in April, the new leaders start planning their event. Their primary duty is to organize fundraisers to put on the parade. In recent years, a nonprofit started by Naquin-Delain and others has provided continuity and support for organizing the parade. After expenses, leftover funds are donated to charities chosen by the grand marshals. In 2015, more

than $39,000 was donated to three charities, Naquin-Delain says. During Decadence, the grand marshals attend a Friday night drag show at the Golden Lantern, toss beads from the balcony over Ambush’s offices following the parade and go to the “survivors’” brunch on Labor Day. They also try to make appearances at as many events as possible. There’s a long list of themed parties and events on the Southern Decadence website (www. southerndecadence.com). The grand marshals also choose a theme song (Ariana Grande’s “Break Free”), colors (amethyst, ruby, sapphire and pearl white) and the year’s charities (New Orleans Advocates for GLBT Elders, Animal Rescue New Orleans). This year’s grand marshals also introduced a new feature: an official shot (Skyy 42). “We wanted to leave something behind,” Penton-Robicheaux says.

Drake and Future FRI. SEPT. 2 | A video for “Hotline Bling,” showcasing more than the multitalented Drake’s rapping skills, helped his April release Views spend the beginning of the summer atop the Billboard album charts. Several singles followed. He’s joined by Atlanta rapper Future at 6:30 p.m. at Smoothie King Center.

Super Fresh Hip Hop Fest with Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, Partners-N-Crime and U.N.L.V. SAT. SEPT. 3 | This rap extravaganza is worth attending just for the promise of Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick reprising arguably the greatest hip-hop diptych ever, 1985’s “The Show/La Di Da Di.” There’s also Kangol Crewman Dana Dane, Too $hort, EPMD and New Orleans wardens PNC and U.N.L.V. (and others). At 8 p.m. at UNO Lakefront Arena.

Maroon 5 with Tove Lo MON. SEPT. 5 | Adam Levine may have “Moves Like Jagger,” but his two Maroon 5 albums since — the dovetailing Overexposed and V (Interscope) — only gathered moss. How best to drum up interest in this arena tour? Invite “Cool Girl” and body-talking Swede Tove Lo to add spice. Problem solved. R. City opens at 7:30 p.m. at Smoothie King Center.

I-10 News on the move 1. NEW STREETCAR GETS TEST RUN

The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) began making test runs on the new Rampart Street streetcar line last week and announced the line would run from Elysian Fields Avenue to Union Passenger Terminal on Loyola Avenue. That updates the existing 49 Loyola-UPT streetcar (which now turns on Canal Street) to a new Loyola-Rampart line. In response to public requests to the RTA, the 88 St. Claude bus will continue to operate on the Rampart line so riders won’t have to transfer from a bus to streetcar at Elysian Fields Avenue. The buses will be on a limited-stop express line from Elysian Fields to Canal. No firm date has been set for the changes, but RTA plans to launch the new streetcar line this fall.

2. Quote of the week “Sometimes, once the floodwaters pass, people’s attention spans pass. … I need all Americans to stay focused on this. … They’ve got a lot of work to do, and they shouldn’t have to do it alone.” — President Barack Obama, speaking from Baton Rouge on Aug. 23, his first visit to the area following devastating August floods. Obama stood with U.S. Sens. Bill Cassidy and David Vitter while speaking from a podium in the driveway of a Baton Rouge family and reminded Americans to stay vigilant as inevitable media fatigue sets in after a disaster. The flood destroyed thousands of homes and displaced thousands of Louisianans. Gov. John Bel Edwards — who asked Obama to delay a visit to the state so as not to drain resources or prevent first responders from moving about the area — defended Obama’s visit on his radio show: “The president’s presence here was helpful,” Edwards said Aug. 24. “He came at the time I asked him to.”

3. As FEMA claims

increase, housing on the way

Nearly 120,000 Louisiana residents are seeking Feder-

al Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance following the recent devastating floods in 20 parishes. According to FEMA spokesman Rafael Lemaitre, the federal agency has helped roughly 1,000 families get housing as of press time, and temporary housing — not the controversial and famously hazardous “FEMA trailers” of 2005 — is on the way. Gov. John Bel Edwards announced last week that mobile housing units will be available for people who don’t live in a designated flood plain and can be set up in their yards. People in flood zones will be able to place theirs in mobile home parks. More than 27,000 claims have been made with FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program, which has made $50 million in advance payments. In total, FEMA has sent out more than $200 million to survivors thus far.

4. Big Freedia gets

three years’ probation for Section 8 fraud

New Orleans bounce artist and reality TV star Big Freedia avoided jail time following a months-long case in which the performer admitted she fraudulently received nearly $35,000 in Section 8 funds. On Aug. 25, U.S. District Judge Lance Africk sentenced Fre-

edia to three years of probation — including submitting to regular drug testing and performing 100 hours of community service — and to pay full restitution. “I apologize to my New Orleans community,” Freedia said. “I’m embarrassed of my conduct.” Prosecutors argued Freedia “knowingly understated” income and assets for the purpose of receiving Section 8 benefits. In a March statement, Freedia said remaining on Section 8 was “an oversight” attributed to poor financial literacy during her changing finances. The singer had pleaded guilty in her initial court appearance in March. The case opened a national discussion about the transformation of public housing to housing assistance and the traps, failings and corruption of localized programs aimed to benefit lower-income and elderly residents — programs that are difficult to get into, with long waiting lists, and difficult to leave, particularly for people with unreliable income.

5. ‘Sold-out city’ for All-Star Game

Lost in the news that New Orleans has been awarded the 2017 NBA All-Star Game

was the significance of the game’s date: Sun. Feb. 19, 2017, which also happens to be the first Sunday of major Mardi Gras parades on St. Charles Avenue, with the krewes of Femme Fatale, Carrollton, King Arthur and Alla all rolling. That route is within blocks of the Smoothie King Center, where the All-Star Game will be played, and the Superdome, where fan “experiences” will be staged. Unlike 2013, when the city of New Orleans moved up the first weekend of parades by a week to accommodate crowds for Super Bowl XLVII, the parade dates and route are set and will not be changed, according to Stephen Perry, president and CEO of the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau — though the parades may roll a bit early. “It’s going to be one of the most interesting and complicated weekends we’ve ever had,” Perry said. “In addition to the All-Star Game, we have two citywide conventions that weekend, we have a lot of corporate meetings and associations in hotels, and, of course, Mardi Gras. We’re going to have a sold-out city.”

6. Connick heads flood relief telethon

Louisiana natives and American Idol hosts Harry Connick Jr. and Randy Jackson will host “Louisiana Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Relief” on Labor Day. The concert will be broadcast via Raycom Media channels — WVUE-TV Fox 8 in New Orleans — with performances from Better Than Ezra, Sonny Landreth, Chris Thomas King, MacKenzie Bourg, Luther Kent, Rockin’ Dopsie and others. The concert will be broadcast from Baton Rouge’s River Center Theater with proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross’ Louisiana Flood Relief fund. It airs 7 p.m.9 p.m. Monday, Sept. 5.

Farmers Market moving Oct. 1 After 21 years on Magazine Street in the Warehouse District, the Saturday Crescent City Farmers Market will be moving to the parking lot of the May Gallery at 750 Carondelet Street. Kathryn Parker, executive director of Market Umbrella, the market’s parent organization, says the switch will be made Oct. 1 and added

that hours will remain the same (8 a.m. to noon).

8. Bunny Friend

shooters go on trial in September

Ten suspects will be tried in Orleans Parish Criminal Court on charges related to the shootings at Bunny Friend Park that injured 17 people last November. The trial date is set for Sept. 19, but several defendants want to have their cases tried separately. Nine defendants are charged with the intentional or criminally negligent discharge of a firearm while committing a crime of violence, as shots were fired during the filming of a music video in the park.

9. Lauryn Hill returns to New Orleans

Lauryn Hill will bring her MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling! tour to the Saenger Theatre Dec. 1. The hip-hop and neosoul singer launched the Diaspora Calling festival in April at Kings Theater in Brooklyn, and this tour will feature artists from African diaspora nations. Hill performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in April. She also performed at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in 2014, when she irked some and amused others by starting her scheduled set late and then also arrived late to a second added set. (At Jazz Fest, she was just a few minutes late.)

10. Film Fest

lineup announced

The New Orleans Film Society has announced the lineup of feature films in competition at the 2016 New Orleans Film Festival. Highlights of the Louisiana Features and Documentary Features include Iman Shervington’s Back Story, for which five young African-American men from different New Orleans neighborhoods filmed their own lives over a six-month period; the world premiere of Shelter, a documentary about New Orleans’ Covenant House; and Maisie Crow’s documentary Jackson, which examines the fight over the last abortion clinic in Mississippi. The festival runs Oct. 12-20 at venues around the metro area. Visit www.neworleansfilmfestival.org for more information and tickets.

C’est What

? Is it helpful to have presidents and presidential candidates visit the communities affected by the Louisiana floods?

The early estimate of how much the Louisiana agriculture industry lost in the August floods.

44%

SOURCE: LSU AGCENTER

NEARLY HALF THE CROPS LOST in the recent floods were soybeans, with an estimated $46 million loss in soy. Of 420,000 acres of soybeans, “very little” had been harvested, according to LSU AgCenter economist Kurt Guidry. The loss could have been greater for rice, but about 80 percent of the rice yield already had been harvested, Guidry said. Sugar cane, corn, sweet potato, cotton and grain sorghum fields also took some hits, but Guidry said the extent of the damage won’t be known for weeks — and will depend on whether the saturated grounds continue to get rain during the remainder of the tropical season. — KEVIN ALLMAN

YES; DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM

The Committee for a Better New Orleans (CBNO)

celebrated its 50th anniversary of advocating for community engagement and open and effective government on Aug. 19. CBNO merged with the Metropolitan Area Committee (MAC) in 2002. The CBNO recently received a $16,000 grant from the Partnership Grant Program of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and Gulf Coast Bank and Trust Company to support its Big Easy Budget Game and the Lower 9th Ward Participatory Budgeting programs.

The University of Dawn Foret, New Orleans (UNO) a former Terrebonne was awarded a grant for $232,559 from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration to design a device to prevent sea turtles from getting caught in shrimping nets. The grant benefits the Nekton Research Laboratory at UNO’s Pontchartrain Institute for Environmental Sciences’ ongoing research on required “turtle excluder devices.” Accidentally being captured in shrimp nets is among primary causes of death for sea turtles.

Parish Sheriff’s Office detective, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court Aug. 24 to stealing more than $14,000 from a federal grant meant to curb underage drinking. Foret’s reports implied she was present for nearly every operation and billed full time for every hour of operation as other officers did the work. She faces up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release when she’s sentenced Dec. 14.

COMMENTARY

PH OTO BY S P C M IG U E L TO E FI E L /U. S . AR M Y

THE DISASTERS WROUGHT BY THE “THOUSAND-YEAR FLOOD” THAT HIT BATON ROUGE AND 19 OTHER LOUISIANA PARISHES WILL TAKE MONTHS — IF NOT YEARS — TO AMELIORATE, but

if there’s one bit of good news, it’s that just about everyone involved in the first response did their jobs well. Gov. John Bel Edwards’ administration was steady and strong. FEMA Director Craig Fugate got help to the region with a minimum of red tape. The Louisiana National Guard sprang into action, and the “Cajun Navy” (citizens in private watercraft) proved to be genuine heroes by performing innumerable rescues. It was gratifying to see New Orleanians spring into action as well. In the first hours after the flooding, caravans of trucks with much-needed supplies and food headed west on Interstate 10, and it seemed every business in town was pitching in with time, money or by collecting donations. “We feel your pain” has become a cliche, but we know the pain of our neighbors in the flooded parishes. We also know like no one else that flooded residents face a long road back; when the TV cameras leave, the recovery will still be in its infancy. In an Aug. 23 letter to the president, Edwards estimated “well over” 100,000 houses were damaged or destroyed (in addition to more than 29,000 homes damaged or destroyed in the March flood). Among the requests Edwards made was to have Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds available for rebuilding homes and neighborhoods. WWL Radio reported that

FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) had 26,000 claims from across the state as of Aug. 23. President Barack Obama visited flooded areas and promised not to let the nation forget. One way to keep that promise would be to push for a stronger NFIP. Perhaps it’s time for Congress to consider requiring flood insurance on all residential properties, not just those in designated flood zones. Many if not most of the homes flooded in this disaster were outside those zones. As longtime New Orleanians know, the problems just begin as the water recedes. We can’t let our support stop with the initial rush of donations and volunteerism. The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank was hard-hit, with more than 4 feet of water, and food banks around the state are sending supplies to affected parishes. In New Orleans, Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana delivered 280,000 pounds of supplies in the first days after the storm and is still collecting financial donations as well as canned food and cleaning supplies at its facility at 700 Edwards Ave. in Elmwood. The United Way of Southeast Louisiana also is seeking donations, particularly cleaning supplies (no clothing or furniture) and monetary contributions. To learn how you can help United Way, go to the group’s website (www.unitedwaysela.org/ flood). The Great Flood of 2016 is a tragedy, but it’s also an opportunity for New Orleanians to repay our neighbors’ many kindnesses of 11 years ago this week.

An open letter to Louisiana flood victims

P H O T O C O U R T E S Y U . S . C OA S T G UA R D

DEAR NEIGHBORS,

This time of year always evokes memories of Hurricane Katrina, but this year those flashbacks are much more poignant for seeing the devastation that you are now enduring. As I look back on my Katrina experiences, I feel many emotions and recall many lessons. I’d like to share some of those lessons with you in the hope that they will help you get through the difficult times ahead. Recovery happens from the ground up. Government does not move quickly, though it was heartening to see FEMA doing a much better job with this flood than it did with Katrina. Thank Craig Fugate and his team for that. Still, the best way to start the recovery is by picking yourselves up by your own bootstraps. That’s what we did — with the help of neighbors and strangers alike. You’ve already seen how that works. (Big hat tip to the Cajun Navy.) This tragedy is also an opportunity — to rebuild better, smarter, stronger. New Orleans did it in fits and starts, and with a lot of pain, but we did it. No doubt you will do it faster and, hopefully, even better. I say this as a way of offering hope, not in any way to minimize the human toll of this disaster. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. As much as you’d like to get back home now, rebuilding an entire community, or even one home, takes time. It takes even longer to do it right. It’s worth the time and the effort. Make new connections, because everything happens for a reason. One of the amazing things that happened to me again and again after Katrina was meeting people one day and realizing the next day that they

were exactly the people I needed to contact for help with a particular problem — or that I could somehow help them with a problem. I still have a pocket-size notebook filled with their names and contact information. Many of them have become lifelong friends. The kids are gonna be all right. We parents tend to fall apart, but for our kids (once they get past the initial shock and sense of loss) this is one grand adventure. They will grow in ways that you never foresaw. Nurture them as you always would, but don’t worry about them. They are much more resilient than we are. Let them inspire you. Take time to laugh, cry, celebrate and live in south Louisiana. Many people thought New Orleanians were crazy when we decided to hold Mardi Gras in 2006, but it made perfect sense to us. It’s who we are. So don’t let go of your festivals, traditions and touchstones. Go to an LSU or Southern game. Go squirrel hunting or deer hunting. Take the kids fishing, hiking, canoeing or camping. Take a pottery class — whatever makes you feel “normal” again. Above all, know that we are here for you, because we remember that you were there for us. God bless.

Hey Blake, I went to the Lakefront to see the Arthur Silverman sculptures you wrote about (July 5), and saw that on the UNO campus near the end of Elysian Fields is a historiclooking but small lighthouse. Is it still or was it ever used? JACOBI

Dear Jacobi, That lighthouse has been a landmark at the lakefront for more than 175 years. It is known as the Port Pontchartrain or Milneburg lighthouse, named for the resort area that once stood at the spot. In the 1830s, Scottish businessman Alexander Milne purchased a large tract of land near Lake Pontchartrain and established it as Milneburg. The Pontchartrain RailRoad line for the famous Smoky Mary train brought patrons to the resort and amusement area, which also became known as a hot spot for jazz. According to a U.S. Coast Guard history, the lighthouse was built

after Congress allocated $5,000 for its construction. It was completed in 1838. At the time, the lighthouse sat about 3,000 feet offshore, but over the years it was left high and dry by projects that reclaimed the land near the lake. One interesting note about its history is that beginning in 1882, a succession of three women served as lighthouse keepers. The best known and longest-serving was Margaret Dimitry Norvell, who stood watch over the lighthouse from 1896 until 1924. In the 1930s, Pontchartrain Beach amusement park was developed around Milneburg, but the lighthouse survived and became a feature of the Kiddieland area of the park. The lighthouse went dark in 1929 and eventually was decommissioned. After Pontchartrain Beach closed in 1983, the nearby land was dormant until 1991, when the University of New Orleans acquired the property and built its Research and Technology Park there, preserving the lighthouse for posterity.

BLAKEVIEW A RECENT VISIT TO THE NEW ORLEANS MUSEUM OF ART reminded me that some readers may not know the man whose donation helped establish the museum and whose name is still visible at the front of the building: Isaac Delgado. Born in Jamaica in 1839, Delgado came to New Orleans when he was a teenager. Working with an uncle, he made his fortune in the sugar industry. Though by most accounts he was not an art lover, Delgado saw the value of the city having an art museum and donated $150,000 (about $3.6 million in today’s money) for it. “My desire is to give to the citizens of New Orleans a fireproof building where works of art may be collected through gifts or loans and where exhibitions can be held,” he wrote in 1910. The building opened in 1911; Delgado died the next year. In 1971, the museum added two new wings and an auditorium and changed its name to the New Orleans Museum of Art. Delgado’s fortune also helped establish the nearby Delgado Community College, which opened in 1921.

The bright shop is filled with silver earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pins, cuff links and more. Originally from Guatemala, Juan and Silvia Asturias opened Sterling Silvia in 1988, not long after making New Orleans their permanent home. Silvia had been traveling back and forth from New York for her job in the diamond business while Juan earned his degree in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Administration at the University of New Orleans. When Silvia grew tired of the cross-country commute, she invested $1,200 in silver jewelry to launch her business. “I just decided to give it a try,” Silvia says. The business took off, and the pair soon added a second location. What originally was a part-time vendor’s stand in the French Market has grown into two brick-and-mortar locations. On most days, Silvia works at the Uptown location while Juan works at the French Quarter shop. Juan handles the administrative end and Silvia heads the creative side. In the beginning Silvia bought most of her pieces from Mexico, but now she designs much of the jewelry. “I started creating my own designs when I couldn’t find what

I wanted to sell,” Silvia says. “Our New Orleans jewelry is very popular, and soon I’m going to create something different, something more striking and representative of New Orleans.” Silvia’s process is simple: she draws a rough sketch of a piece and works with her jewelry makers to perfect it. “It’s trial and error, but I’ve gotten much better at the process,” Silvia says. In September, Silvia will travel to

For Juan and Silvia, Sterling Silvia is more than just a business. “We’ve had the blessing of having Sterling Silvia for over 28 years,” Silvia says. “I love working in the store because I get to see the happiness on people’s faces when they choose something they love.

Four years after the city debuted plans to build more than 20 off-leash dog areas, two are open, while two more sites are being “studied,” leaving dog owners howling. BY DAVID S. LEWIS @DAVIDSLEWIS83

PHOTOS BY CHERYL GERBER

ROSCOE PANICS AS I OPEN THE GATE TO THE CRESCENT PARK DOG RUN. It’s hard to blame him: five other dogs, excited for a new butt to sniff, are trying to force their way through the opening. Roscoe backs up on his leash, slipping his collar over his ears. I try to gently knee the pack back into the park while hooking my foot around Roscoe’s furry butt to guide him into the park. Such is the routine at Crescent Park, which stretches along the levee from the Bywater to the old wharvage around Elysian Fields. But Blake Vonder Haar, proprietor of the Bywater-area pet store Bark Market, says the problems with the Crescent Park dog run are many: no double gate, benches located near the entrance tend to cause dogs to congregate there, poor drainage results in a swamp after rainfall, and the doggie drinking fountain is located outside the gate, which she calls “absurd.” The Crescent Park run, in tandem with a slightly larger dog run in Wisner Park, are the only “official” off-leash parks in New Orleans that are free for public use. (City Bark, located in New Orleans City Park, is a fee-based off-leash dog area that charges members $48 per year.) That number is a far cry from the results of a 2012 study by the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORDC), the department tasked with developing and administering parks in the city, which recommended upwards of 20 dog areas to be built throughout the parish. Now, four years later, pet owners and residents say the city promised much and delivered little, and in some cases have taken downright hostile stances — including hiring an armed guard to ensure dogs stayed leashed at Cabrini Park, which long had been an “unofficial” off-leash area.

ALL BARK: NO PARK cover story

PAGE 15

TWO PARKS IN PARTICULAR HAVE BEEN THE SOURCES OF IRE for local

dog owners: Mickey Markey Park in the Bywater and Cabrini Park on Barracks Street in the French Quarter. For years, Mickey Markey was used as an off-leash area by pet owners but, after the park was closed for two years for lead contamination in the soil, the Trust for Public Land, a national nonprofit concerned with preserving and restoring public spaces, stepped up with the funds to amend the soil and redesign the park. Residents (including a group that had purchased a riding lawnmower for the park) say they expected a fenced-off dog area, but were surprised by the final design, which included no such thing. Randi Kaufmann says she was part of a group of residents who pitched in on the lawnmower and helped pick up trash at Mickey Markey Park. She described it as the “center” of the community for many years, and said she and others felt betrayed when a dog area wasn’t included in the redesign. “I can’t tell you how much less I like Bywater without the dog park,” Kaufman wrote in an email. “It was so well used. People gathered there all day. We contributed to the safety of the neighborhood. The park was derelict for many years and a haven for drug use before it became popular with dog owners. … It was such a great, healthy way to build community and bring people together.”

Kaufmann said the nonprofit that helped remediate and redesign Mickey Markey wasn’t opposed to a dog park, but that it was the Bywater Neighborhood Association, together with NORDC, who nixed the idea. They had no idea the neighborhood even wanted [an off-leash dog area] until we all showed up at their public meeting,” Kaufmann said. “They even came up with several multi-use designs at the next meeting. After that we never had another public meeting and were told it was off the table.” Kaufmann added that many residents tried to make the best of it and simply take their pooches to another longstanding-but-unofficial dog area: Cabrini Park. “Lo and behold, same story,” said Kaufmann. “Big park that could easily be multi-use including an off-leash dog area, but was not included regardless of how much public input went into [it].” Another resident (who did not want his name used) said that much of the trouble pet owners found at Cabrini began after new, wealthy neighbors began making a fuss about the off-leash animals. The man said problems began in 2014 with verbal confrontations and escalated with calls to the New Orleans Police Department’s 8th Division. Eventually, the park was locked for eight months of renovations. When it reopened, it was as a children’s playground. “We had five chairs stacked neatly and chained under the pavilion,”

PAGE 18

G A M B I T > B E S T O F N E WO R L E A N S . C O M > AU G U S T 3 0 > 2 0 1 6

the man said. “NORDC came in, cut the chains and confiscated the chairs. We are not allowed to have permanent seating (unlike other NORDC parks) and have to bring chairs with us, and take them with us when we leave. Older and handicapped people are therefore unable to use the park.” The Cabrini conflict culminated with the hiring of an armed security guard by NORDC officials. The guard patrolled the area in an effort to keep dogs at bay (or at least securely leashed), but while multiple residents said they witnessed inappropriate behavior by the guard, all but one requested they remain anonymous. Hayne Rainey, Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s press secretary, confirmed in an email that NORDC “assigned a contracted security detail” to Cabrini Park for December 2015 and January 2016, saying the hire was “in response to multiple resident complaints of individuals disregarding posted signage declaring that all dogs must remain on-leash in Cabrini Park.” Cabrini-area resident Steve Schmidt said that his encounters with the guard were anything but professional, saying the guard was prone to getting into loud verbal altercations with neighbors and “fiddling” with his gun. “He and one of the neighbors got into it and I heard both of them yelling at each other, but she’s an older lady so I went out there and was like, ‘Yeah, I understand what you’re out here for, but you can’t be yelling at my neighbors like that,’” Schmidt said. “And then we got into a verbal dispute over his authority in the park and, while I was talking, he kept touching his gun and being very intimidating.” Schmidt says the guard often would park illegally, blocking residents’ driveways and even parking on the sidewalk. He called the police and contacted NORDC, but had a difficult time figuring out who had contracted the guard in the first place. “There’s an armed guard in the park, and I was concerned because I didn’t know the legalities — it’s a gun-free zone — whether or not a security guard had the right to be carrying a gun,” he said. “This individual strikes me as the kind who couldn’t quite make it with the police department.” Others who attended meetings said Vic Richard, the CEO of NORDC, had told them NORD was paying for it. “It was awkward, because Bunny Friend (Park, in the 9th

Ward) had 17 people shot two weeks before they put a guard at Cabrini,” said Schmidt. “And so my concern was, why not put security in Bunny Friend Park, when you’re putting security guards in one of the safest parks in the city?” Rainey said there is an exception to firearm-free zones for law enforcement, and noted, “The shooting incident at Bunny Friend was during a non-permitted event and no NORDC personnel or security were present.” Schmidt objects to the guard on principle. “If you’re going to increase security at any parks, it should be parks in disadvantaged neighborhoods,” he said. “Not a park that has an issue with dogs being off leash.”

THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS SAYS THERE NEVER WAS A PROMISE TO BUILD THE PARKS

recommended in the 2012 study by any kind of deadline. “There was never a hard timeline that I am aware of to build all 20 parks,” Richard told Gambit. He added that NORDC’s mission is to serve the people’s needs first, and that much of the city’s mission is to get parks and facilities still in their “post-Katrina” states back online for children and residents. “It’s not that dog parks are not a priority,” he said, but that the scaling up on parks spending under Mayor Landrieu’s administration has been significant, and targeted at bringing damaged and obsolete facilities back online. “We’ve invested $157 million. We’ve gone from three recreation centers to 11, with a twelfth under construction,” Richard said. “Much of our goal was to bring back what was lost in the storms, to bring those centers back to the community.” Richard acknowledged hiring the security guard, but said it was a move to protect the renovations that the

city and neighbors had made to the park during the eight months it was closed. He said he wasn’t aware of any complaints about the private security, and that it was a necessary measure to protect the grounds from damage. “Are you aware there’s a quarter-million (dollar) investment we made out there?” he said. “The parents and the school (McDonogh 15, which owns a portion of the park’s ground) raised over $100,000 to remediate lead, lay down turf, and build new play equipment, and the city put up another $100,000 for repairs to masonry and wrought-iron fencing, the new playground’s safety surface, equipment and a water fountain. “And unfortunately, the pet owners — not all of them, but a lot of them — let their dogs tear up the entire field and everything else.”

THAT’S NOT TO SAY THAT THERE’S BEEN NO PROGRESS WITH DOG PARKS. Two are on the table: a small

area in the Leo Benewell Playspot at Tchoupitoulas and Pleasant streets near the Irish Channel, and the long-contested Cabrini Park site. NORDC and Capital Projects are assessing the feasibility of both builds; however, there’s still no timeline, and while there’s been about $100,000 appropriated for the Leo Benewell site, Richard said that there’s no funding for the dog area at Cabrini Park, although the city plans to look to the residents to help secure the funds. “And as funding becomes available and community interest matches or meets the study that was done, we’d be more than happy to work with individuals or groups towards resolution,” he said. As far as deficiencies at Crescent Park’s dog run, city officials say former Mayor Ray Nagin’s administration is responsible for the failings there, and point to the run at Wisner Park as an exemplar of the design features to be expected at dog parks in the future.

Rainey noted both he and Richard were pet owners and stressed that they do ask the public to follow leash laws. “Vic [Richard] has informed me of a number of instances where children have been bitten by loose pets,” he said. “We want to stress that pets, while in the facilities, need to be under control of their owners at all times. Despite the petitions, Rainey said pro-dog park enthusiasts were notably absent from all six of the Mayor’s recent Budgeting for Outcomes meetings, where

citizens can interact with all levels of city government regarding facilities that need updating or repair. “They’re well-known, well- publicized meetings where citizens can talk about the facilities that they feel need the most urgent work, or most need to be built,” he said. Where does that leave Roscoe? The woes at the Crescent Park dog run were inherited from the Nagin administration and It is no longer under NORDC jurisdiction — so a new gate doesn’t seem to be on the horizon.

Freeze frame DAIQUIRI SEASON, THE MONTHLONG “FESTIVAL” HONORING THE FROZEN DRINK, KICKS OFF SEPT. 1.

The festival was founded as a two-day event in 2011, and it was purchased by Tales of the Cocktail in 2015. This year, organizers changed the concept, and restaurants and bars across the city will serve their own original frozen drinks throughout September. So far, 44 restaurants and bars including Big Easy Daiquiris, Cane & Table, MoPho, High Hat Cafe, Bourree, El Libre, Sidney’s Saloon and others have signed on.

Trinity serves regional seafood and more BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund AT TRINITY, THE NAME IMPLIES HOMAGE TO THE HOLY TRIO OF NEW ORLEANS COOKING — onions, bell

pepper and celery — but the menu promises a modern interpretation of the city’s cuisine. The restaurant space itself doesn’t feel much like New Orleans, but it sure feels modern. The yawning marble-packed dining room features clean lines, high ceilings and slate-gray banquettes, creating a cosmopolitan vibe. A well-heeled crowd holds court, and the place feels worlds away from the grittier parts of Decatur Street outside. Chef Michael Isolani’s menu doesn’t fall into one specific culinary style. Instead it stretches into many, though there’s plenty of attention paid to regional ingredients. Meals begin with warm dinner rolls served with salt-flaked butter. Crawfish and fontina beignets are as rich and guilt-inducing as they sound, but are a little too greasy. They’re saved by bright green tarragon aioli with a strong anise flavor. Large Gulf oysters are featured heavily: raw, smoked, baked and broiled. Fish, and seafood in general, fares well. Seared red snapper arrives with a golden, extra crispy exterior, and is showered with toasted pecans and juicy grapefruit segments. The plate gets an extra punch of color from a bed of lightly smashed avocado. It’s a gorgeous, fresh dish bursting with texture and flavor. Tempura-fried soft-shelled crab is served with ginger and yuzu broth, a refreshing and tart take on a dish that’s traditionally much heavier.

There was no shortage of seafood in the fruits de mer, where thick, chewy linguine is topped with salty bottarga, plump scallops, sweet blue crabmeat and, best of all, large hunks of flaky Gulf cobia. On one evening, the pasta was framed with a mix of bright marigold and red tomatoes for a refreshing, summer feel. The menu is divided into awkward categories — “fingers,” “forks” and “knives” — but it seems like an extension of the small- and sharedplate game, which is nice if you’re in the mood to try several things. Finely diced beef tartare studded with cornichons straddles the fat and acid line well, and a white bean medley is a nice complement. The dish is accompanied by a miniature Tabasco bottle, which is a precious touch and a bit gimmicky but adds a welcome touch of vinegar and spice. There were a few early mishaps that appear to have been ironed out. On my first visit, ricotta gnudi were gummy and tough, not at all like the pillowy orbs oozing cheese I enjoyed on a more recent visit. The latter

were soft and decadent, draped in rich wild mushroom and muscadine wine sauce and topped with thick slices of Parmesan. A hearty portion of roasted pork shank was topped with thick-cut apple compote and seved on a bed of soupy green lentils with roasted carrots and thick, crunchy lardons. The flavors complemented each other well, even if a few carrots were undercooked. The summer months have been too sweltering to enjoy Trinity’s wraparound balcony overlooking Decatur Street, but I imagine it will be lovely there once cooler weather arrives. There, diners should be able to enjoy a little of both worlds — a modern take on the city’s cuisine and a bit of old New Orleans. Email Helen Freund at helensfreund@gmail.com

Jersey boys ALTAMURA (2127 Prytania St.,

504-265-8101; www.facebook. com/altamuraatmagnoliamansion), a new Italian-American restaurant from the folks behind Manhattanjack, (4930 Prytania St., 504-897-5551; www.manhattanjack.com) is now open inside the Magnolia Mansion. Jack Petronella and executive chef Coleman Jernigan have been working on the plan for the New Jersey-inspired Italian restaurant for the better part of three years, since the duo opened their Prytania Street coffee shop together in 2013. The restaurant’s menu is largely inspired by Petronella’s childhood in New Jersey. “I’m so excited about what we’re doing here,” Petronella says. “We did not reinvent the wheel. This was about bringing the Northeastern feel that’s in every Italian restaurant on every corner in New Jersey and New York.” The restaurant’s retro-chic design, which includes a baby grand piano for live music on

Saturday nights and Sunday brunch, was designed with the 1950s and ’60s in mind. “(It) was an era when these Italian restaurants … were really fun and hot,” Petronella says. Petronella named the restaurant for the hillside town in Italy’s Puglia region that his grandparents came from. Known for its wheat production, the area also is famous for its pasta. The restaurant’s menu features classics such as spaghetti and meatballs, baked macaroni, linguine in clam sauce, gnocchi Bolognese and puttanesca sauce. Spiedini mozzarella, one of Petronella’s childhood favorites, features the soft cheese wrapped in bread, fried and topped with anchovy and lemon caper sauce. There’s also clams casino, garlic shrimp scampi, tortellini en brodo and a tri-color salad. A lengthy list of entrees includes Nantucket diver scallops with blood orange-tarragon sauce and asparagus risotto, chicken and veal marsala served with Hasselback potatoes and hearty classics including osso buco and veal scallopini saltimbocca. Built in 1857, the sprawling white mansion was once owned by a cotton magnate, and was home to the American Red Cross during World War II, serving as a care facility for wounded soldiers from across the South. Petronella plans to renovate the property over the next three years and turn it into a “chic and cosmopolitan” boutique hotel. Petronella currently oversees the property’s 14 rooms, which he says are almost all booked through the winter holiday season. Altamura is offering happy hour beginning at 4 p.m. and dinner at 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and Monday. Sunday brunch is served from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Allison VinesRushing CHEF It’s been more than two years since chef Allison Vines-Rushing left MiLa, the celebrated restaurant she and husband Slade Rushing opened in 2007 inside the Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette hotel. Vines-Rushing brings her popup Port City to Jacques-Imo’s at 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11. Vines-Rushing spoke with Gambit about her time off.

What have you been doing since you left MiLa? VINES-RUSHING: I’ve been raising my toddlers. I have two little ones; one is 4 and one is 2. Since Slade (Rushing) is also a chef and had a few jobs at the same time and re-opening Brennan’s (New Orleans) was a major commitment, we knew that both of us doing chef work wouldn’t be ideal for our young family. So I took a few steps back to focus on them, but I’ve done some consulting and started my own catering company where I do little dinner parties at people’s homes … things that give me a lot of flexibility (that) I (am) able to do once and a while. I’ve realized that I’m a chef that doesn’t want a lot of restaurants and that doesn’t want a lot going on, because I have a family now and that’s still my primary focus. It’s not an easy thing to do, especially when both parents work in the restaurant business, and certainly when both parents are chefs with late night hours and commitments. It’s been hard for me to figure out where I fit in now, and certainly nerve-wracking, because I don’t want to lose my career. I think the pop-up is a great way to get out there and have fun and be in a restaurant for one night. I’m not ready to step back into a restaurant.

Has taking time off changed your cooking? V: With a pop-up, I always felt that I could get out of the box that I’ve always been in: French, Southern-inspired food. Since I’ve been at home, I cook a lot — my toddlers don’t always necessarily dig it — but I’ve been experimenting a lot. Working like I did, I never really had the chance to just sit down and read and be inspired by (different cuisines) the way I do

now. I’ve had a blast cooking a lot of ethnic food at home. It’s really broadened my horizons. I make Thai and I make African, I make Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Peruvian — it’s been really fun. I thought doing a pop-up would be a great way to do things that I’ve never done before. With a restaurant you’re really set in this one theme. With a pop-up, I can do a different theme every time. With the first menu, it’s going to be kind of Cuban and a little bit Chinese-influenced. I lived in Florida in high school, so I’ve always loved Cuban (food). My favorite dish is chicken with yellow rice, so I’m doing sous vide chicken with turmeric root and ginger. Cuba has a little bit of Chinese influence, so instead of just doing black beans, I’m doing fermented black bean sauce and collard greens. I’m doing mojo shrimp, kind of like barbecue shrimp-style but with mojo.

Did your outlook on the New Orleans dining scene change? V: Definitely. I haven’t owned my own restaurant in a long time, and I only owned one once, and that was Longbranch… and that was a pretty rough go of it. I’ve always had some trepidation about getting back into food. The restaurant scene here has just exploded from when we first moved here in 2005, and it’s just so different. I think that the restaurant industry in general is so competitive — not only here, but everywhere. Staff is really hard to find. There are a lot of new challenges in restaurants that have taken place in the last five years. There’s also so much more ethnic food here now that people are embracing. That’s a really great inspiration. — HELEN FREUND

RECENT FLOODING IN LOUISIANA didn’t damage any

of the breweries in the affected regions, including Baton Rouge, the Northshore and the Lafayette area. All those breweries have organized fundraisers for flood relief, as well as Urban South Brewery, Second Line Brewing and NOLA Brewing Company in New Orleans. A taproom is under construction at 40 Arpent Brewing Company.

IN OTHER BREWERY NEWS:

• Great Raft Brewing. After its 2016 U.S. Beer Open Championship victory for its mixed fermentation saison Farmhouse Slang, Shreveport’s Great Raft has increased its fermentation capacity by 140 barrels, expanded distribution to Arkansas and Texas and acquired technology to improve beer for shipping. Great Raft installed a centrifuge that helps remove microscopic solids from the beer, which creates a more stable and consistent product. This helps maintain quality when beer is transported long distances. • 40 Arpent Brewing Company. Founder Michael Naquin has been working on construction of 40 Arpent’s taproom while also overseeing production and distribution

of products. He hopes to open the taproom in September. Visit the brewery’s Facebook page for more information. • Wayward Owl Brewing Company. Wayward Owl received the city permits necessary to install equipment including a 15-barrel brewhouse system, a 45-barrel hot liquor tank, a 30-barrel cold liquor tank, six fermenters, four brite tanks and a tasting room cooler. Owner Justin Boswell says he hasn’t set an opening date.

2012 The Aerialist Cabernet Franc Napa Valley, California Retail $30-$31

CABERNET FRANC IS ONE OF THE PARENTS OF CABERNET SAUVIGNON, and was involved in the development of mer-

lot. Along with petit verdot and malbec, those grapes are the basis of almost all great red wines from Bordeaux. The American wine industry was built primarily around those three grapes, and though lighter in pigment, cabernet franc provides structure. Jonas Cellars’ Zach Long, who crafts The Aerialist, used all Napa cabernet franc grapes, blending 60 percent from Mount Veeder in the Mayacamas Mountains and 40 percent from Calistoga. Both areas have been producing wines since the early 1860s. In the cellar, wine lots were fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged 22 months. The wine offers the aroma of violets and its flavor is highlighted by raspberry, black currants and red and black cherries. Firm but fine-grained tannins impart a velvety texture and there’s good acidity. Decant 30 minutes before serving. Drink it with herb-crusted rack of lamb, beef, pork, game, fowl, roasted vegetables, ravioli and tomato-based dishes. Buy it at: Spirit Wine and Grande Krewe Fine Wine & Spirits. Drink it at: Irene’s Cuisine, GW Fins and Muriel’s Jackson Square.

MUSIC PREVIEW

THE HUMAN MOUTH HAS 32 TEETH; THE PIANO, 88 KEYS. This means that at any given Sharks’ Teeth show, New Orleans’ chairman of the keyboard, Tyler Scurlock — encircled by four interlocking synths — is surrounded by the equivalent of 11 beaming instrumental grins. That ecstasy manifests in his music, a retrofuturistic, ebony-and-ivory orgy that recalls vocoder first love in the backseat of Gary Numan’s “Cars.” Last year’s Dream Full of Dreams EP dropped off Radiohead’s “Kid A” at Skate Country; the new It Transfers & Grows (Gigantic Noise/ Community), for which this concert serves as a reveal party, tunes up James Murphy’s LCD Soundsystem (“Don’t Touch My Feet”) and waxes Air’s Moon Safari to a mirrored shine (“It’s Bad For You”). Opening are two of the best audio fluffers around: Princely “Sexy” Dex Gilmore and tape-spooling Community Records labelmate Pope. Tickets $8. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW FOR ALL HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS, FILMMAKER WERNER HERZOG MIGHT NOT BE ANYONE’S FIRST CHOICE TO DIRECT A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE INTERNET. It’s not that he lacks vision or skill. Herzog’s body of work includes early art-house classics such as Woyzeck and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, award-winning documentaries such as Grizzly Man and oddly insightful genre pictures like Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. He has put his singular stamp on films of every imaginable kind. But the famously tech-averse director refuses to carry a cellphone and uses the web only for email so he can live in the U.S. while maintaining his production company back home in Germany. In typically eccentric style, Herzog manages to turn that liability into an asset with Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World. Bringing a fresh eye to the subject of the internet is something few of us could hope to pull off. We are too immersed in the digital world to see it clearly as it permeates every aspect of our lives. The director seems to have no trouble leaving all preconceptions behind as he explores the past, present and possible futures of the internet — like an inquisitive alien who just fell to earth and hopes to understand what all the fuss is about. Herzog’s secret weapon is conversation. He “cast” his film with theoretical scientists and specialists in various aspects of

the web but chose not to interview them in the conventional manner. He did no preparation or pre-interviews; instead he engaged each for a one-hour, on-camera chat almost like a chance encounter at a neighborhood bar. Edited down to their essence, the conversations reveal what the subjects care about most and put the humanity of each on full display. That humanity is exactly what’s required to put the internet in perspective. Lo and Behold addresses particulars of technology as needed, but only to serve its long-overdue examination of the internet’s profound effects on our consciousness and our lives. The film explores internet addiction and the shockingly cruel behavior inspired by web-based anonymity, but it also looks at the evolution of autonomous, soccer-playing robots expected to defeat a world-champion human team by 2050. The film is divided into chapters like “The Dark Side” and “Life Without the Net.” Archival footage balances all the talk and makes abstract ideas easier to grasp. It begins with the internet’s 1969 origin story, showing us a small room at the University of California at Los Angeles that still houses the first computer ever to communicate with another, remote computer. No one involved in that historic event had any concept of the internet as we know it today. As data has increased exponentially, predicting how the internet will evolve has only gotten more difficult. That uncertainty makes Lo and Behold essential viewing, especially since we have rapidly made the internet an integral part of life-sustaining activities such as food distribution and basic financial transactions. Though not alarmist

by nature, the film makes clear that we are now one highly skilled hacker away from catastrophe. Natural phenomena, such as large solar flares that occur regularly every few hundred years, are more than enough to take down the web — along with our lives as we know them today. A Plan B for the internet sounds like a very good idea, and a deeper understanding of the web in all its permutations seems an essential first step. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW

IT’S FUNNY WHAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED — OR NOT. Some regions of France have banned the “burkini” — the body-concealing swimwear some Muslim women wear to the beach — as “culturally inappropriate.” But the laws accidentally may have banned Catholic nuns, whose habits are similarly concealing, from visiting the seashore. How awkward. For photographer Patty Carroll, clothes and home decor are extensions of our skin, and her experiences abroad convinced her that all three have everything to do with how women are perceived. In her photographs, they fuse into a single dreamlike image, so Kilim initially resembles a heap of oriental rugs, but a second glance reveals the female form obscured amid exotic patterns. In Dotty, a figure covered entirely in polka-dotted fabric suggests a vintage Diane von Furstenberg fashion shoot commissioned by a trendy ayatollah. In Royal, a woman on a gold throne is swathed in blue silk that perfectly matches the satiny blue theater curtain behind her. But in Chandelier (pictured), a regal figure draped in white against a black background wears a chandelier as a crown. By challenging our habitual expectations, Draped takes us on a mystery tour of the remote realms of the subconscious. Amaryllis DeJesus Moleski has had it with stereotypes. This series of paintings on paper focuses on, in her words, “all things queer, feminine, Afro-diaspora, futuristic, mixed and alchemical.” She also likes glitter. Her buoyantly rendered figures are bubbly, vaguely Afro-futurist earth deities who wear their third eye with pride in works like Sovereign, where a caramel Aphrodite arises from the sea wearing a halo of flowers, sunshine and lightning. Crown features a full-figured Nubian princess in a headdress of rainbows, hearts and bones. Instructions for Freedom suggests an orgiastic mosh pit of tawny goddesses, yet here as elsewhere the tone is utopian and aspirational, as whimsical as a fairy tale. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

REVIEW

ANNIE BAKER’S 2014 PULITZER PRIZE WINNER, The Flick, is a small play that tackles big, philosophical ideas. Promethean Theatre Company recently presented it at the Lagniappe Stage at Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts. The quiet, understated drama tracks the relationships among three low-wage staffers who maintain a shabby, single-screen, 35mm movie house doomed by the rise of digital technology. The drama features four characters on one set with a few, simple props: popcorn bags, soda cups, brooms and a mop. Avery (Khiry Armstead), a college dropout, is learning his new cleanup job under the tutelage of Sam (Stephen Foley), who has logged too many hours sweeping the theater. Sam is frustrated, believing he should be promoted and because of his unrequited interest in Rose (Susan Lanigan), the regular projectionist. Rose is manipulative and plays mind games with the two men, setting them up and knocking them down. The genius of the play is in realistic dialogue that captures the staff’s daily interactions, revealing their personalities and evolving relationships. Very little changes from day to day except the films being shown, which are identified by classic movie scores. PHOTO BY JOHN BARROIS Imaginary audiences come and go, leaving empty packages and popcorn kernels to be swept up, but petty human dramas remain within the daily routine. The Flick is about any entry-level job, but also about human nature. Beneath the monotonous routine are age-old philosophical questions. The play’s seemingly simple plot recalls Jean-Paul Sartre’s classic existential drama No Exit, wherein three markedly different individuals are confined together for eternity. Avery and Sam are an odd couple, with different motives for taking the job. The more intellectual Avery is passionate about 35mm film. Watching classic films frees him from the doldrums. Sam is in his thirties, considers Avatar a great movie and aspires to little more than working in the projection room. The two men pass the time playing a “six degrees of separation” game, connecting screen stars and challenging each other’s knowledge of movie trivia. Avery succumbs to peer pressure — going along to get along — and agrees to skim off the top of ticket sales, in violation of his own ethical code. His insecurities initially manifest in blank stares and halting speech, but over time, he becomes more outspoken, particularly regarding the sacredness of film. Along with Derrick Toups (Skylar/The Dreaming Man), all four actors convey an easy familiarity that is both believable and entertaining. The simple set, designed by Los Angeles-based Lex Gernon, turns the action around, putting the audience in the position of the movie screen and the rows of seats at the forefront. This configuration allows the actors to move around, sweep and interact naturally while exchanging confidences. The projection booth above appears bright and exciting — the place where dreams are made. Stephen M. Eckert’s skillful direction yields credible characterizations and purposeful onstage movement.
