THEATER REVIEW
Skies are blue for Uptown Players’ ‘End of the Rainbow’ By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
Judy Garland was, no doubt an enigma, and that’s precisely how Janelle Lutz portrayed her on opening night of Peter Quilter’s “End of the Rainbow” at Uptown Players. Garland’s story has been legendary for decades, and yet, we still can’t get enough of it. Set on Christmas 1968, in a suite at London’s Ritz Carlton Hotel, Garland is adamant the accommodations don’t meet her standards. What she was complaining about, however, was an exquisite set designed by Claire Floyd Devries that might have stolen the first scene. With its sparkling chandeliers, decadent furnishings and window treatments, it felt like an elegant hotel suite with a girly touch. The only set changes were seamless, to a stage on which the singer struggled to make her comeback under a brightly lit “Judy” marquee. The first time the set

changed, a curtain arose on the band, which had been playing while hidden above the stage. Under Adam C. Wright’s musical direction, the band was also a star. Jason Foster’s lighting design was effective with quick-change moods. In 1941, David Rose became the first in the chain of Garland’s failed marriages; followed by Vincente Minnelli, Sidney Luft and Mark Heron. On June 22, 1969, her fifth husband, Mickey Deans, only a few months into the marriage, found her dead on a bathroom floor. She was 47. Depicting a life full of disappointments, botched marriages, addictions and a huge dose of angst, Janelle Lutz owned the character of Judy Garland with the finesse of someone much older and more experienced. In what could otherwise have been overdone, she incorporated Garland’s unique speech patterns tastefully. Lutz and skillful direction by see RAINBOW on page 11

Partnership stated that during this week, nine school districts and 100+ organizations are encouraging parents to enroll their children in pre-k or quality early learning programs. In Dallas County, there are approximately 34,000 eligible 3 and 4-year-olds that are not enrolled in public pre-k, and 43 percent of incoming kindergartens in 2015 did not meet academic readiness standards. The data indicates that children who go to pre-k are more prepared for early academic success, graduate from high school and are prepared for college and postsecondary job opportunities. Mayor Rawlings supports the effort as do many local organizations.

you make a mistake? It means you’re human. Instead of using labels (lazy, stupid, idiot), describe the situation and ask yourself what may have contributed to your mistake. In my case, I wanted the festival to be that weekend because my mother was in town, and I knew she’d enjoy it. I probably saw what I wanted to see when I looked at the website. Instead of calling yourself lazy for skipping your exercise, ask yourself what was really going on. If you didn’t exercise because you were too tired, perhaps you need to exercise earlier in the day. If you don’t exercise because you don’t like going to the gym, you may want to look for other physical activities that you would enjoy. By identifying the real reason for your mistake/lapse, instead of using a label, you can look for opportunities to improve the situation in the future. Let it go. Instead of replaying the mistake over and over again, tell yourself to “let it go.” You can’t change the past. All you can do is move on and focus on the future. I’ll be ready for the Denton Jazz Fest the first weekend in May. Dr. Beth Leermakers is a clinical psychologist who specializes in stress management and well-being seminars, retreats and coaching.

Quality of roads impact environment
By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette
We’ve all been there, driving through the city in a rush to get somewhere keeping our eyes on traffic, when our car suddenly hits a huge crater in the road and boom … our Naima Montacer car bottoms out. The loud thud vibrates our core as we hope and pray that our vehicle has escaped the moon landing unscathed. It’s happened too many times recently for me to ignore. It even happened while I was running, luckily, my ankle ligaments have a similar flexibility to Gumby’s body. It was the last blow to my ankle (and pride), that and stole property.

pushed me to start thinking about the environmental impact of our roads. As a runner, I notice that most of our neighborhood roads in Dallas are composed of concrete, much harsher on your joints than asphalt. But, which is better for runoff pollution? According to the Federal Highway Commission, there are a total of more than 4 million miles of road in the U.S., of which 2.6 million miles are paved. Most roads are paved with asphalt or an overlay of asphalt. Asphalt material is composed of 95 percent stone, sand, gravel and about 5 percent asphalt cement — a petroleum product (National Asphalt Pavement Association). Asphalt is favored for its cheap price, ease to construct and provides a smooth ride. Pavement sealant, the black tar looking substance, is used to seal and protect

In two recent papers by the U.S. Geological Survey, this toxic pavement sealant has been found to damage DNA and impair DNA repair in aquatic life. When it rains, water runoff flows across roads picking up contaminants from the surface and carries the toxins to our water bodies. The asphalt has human health impacts as well. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health evaluated the research on asphalt and found known carcinogens in asphalt fumes generated at work sites. Concrete has a higher albedo than asphalt — which means it reflects more solar energy, keeping it cooler and reduces heating of our atmosphere compared to the high absorption and heating of asphalt. More asphalt would actually mean a warmer city and an increase in our urban heat island effect. I guess I will sacrifice my joints for climate change – although the best thing to run on are dirt trails or the cushy material on the Katy Trail running path. Concrete is not without its environmental impacts, as the process to make concrete is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases, only behind coal production. Both materials are unfavorable for producing a sustainable road solution and both contribute to erosion by increasing runoff. But there are other creative options popping up around the world. The Netherlands have been investing in a “virtually maintenance free product” made from recycled plastic to create

roads. The plastic roads can handle temperatures ranging from -40F to as high as 176F, and the company states the lifespan is three times as long as typical asphalt roads. That’s promising! But, also a little worrisome — when exposed to solar radiation will the plastic leach toxic air pollutants into the atmosphere or leach toxins into our water supply? Can you drive safely on the road when wet? The idea is still in the testing phase, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a prototype soon. The Netherlands is the same country that recently installed a 230 foot stretch of bike lane embedded with solar panels that created more energy than expected in its first six months. There are also a few companies within the U.S. providing alternative solutions to paving, such as a California-based company Natural Paving Solutions, who boast a lower environmental impact water-based solution. Studies have shown deteriorated roads (ie: Dallas' pothole-ridden roads) have a negative impact on fuel consumption, costing us more to travel on potholes and posing a greater impact on the environment. Creative solutions need to be explored to find a product that will provide us with safe roads to travel on with little impact on the environment. Or maybe we should invest in out-of-the-box forms of transportation that can creatively meet our travel needs without the strain on our environment. I’m ready for the creative future.

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Chocolate shop will inspire a sweet tune By Dotty Griffith
Live Music Guide ShowS & ConCertS Shows and Concerts
thiS week : FriFRI, , 4/8 hu, 4/14 THIS WEEK: 4/8- –tTHU, 4/14
Dotty.griffith@yahoo.com The secret to Chocolate Secrets is “happy.” When I step into the chocolate shop on Oak Lawn Avenue, the voice of Pharrell Williams runs through my head. You know the tune: “Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth. Because I'm happy. Clap along if you know what happiness is to you. Because I'm happy.” Hard to be anything but happy here. The employees are in love with the place. And the owner, Pam G. Eudaric-Amiri, loves “her kids” who work the front and the artist chocolatiers who produce beautiful hand-painted bonbons, candies and cakes. No doubt you’ve noticed the store on Oak Lawn Avenue. If you haven’t dropped in for a truffle, slice of cake, ice cream, coffee, cup of tea, glass of wine, French lesson, piece of handmade jewelry or live jazz in the evenings, well, you ought to. You’ll be so happy. Eudaric-Amiri founded Chocolate Secrets 11 years ago. An attorney by training, she got tired of the tough world of corporate litigation and went sweet and soft. Along the way, she’s founded other businesses, as well, a taxi company, scrap metal recycling and a construction company. But chocolate is the goo that holds it all together. “What’s not to like about chocolate?” she coos. Especially at Chocolate Secrets. Molded chocolates are simply exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful.

This home is located at 3501 Caruth Blvd. in University Park and is listed for $5.695 million. Of course, like most everything that affects homeowners, there are those who feel that these kinds of developments will irrevocably change the nature and feel of neighborhoods, creating parking issues and put a strain on infrastructure. More and more people are choosing to add on, and some M Streets residents have been told that an ordinance allowing this kind of development is a foregone conclusion. There’s no better way to galvanize a vocal resistance than to basically steamroll them. What the hell, move to the Park Cities where granny flats are where the maid lives, or at least that’s what Donald Trump would probably say. We even found one that’s SUSTAINABLE! Sustainability is not a word generally associated with luxury homes, but one local architect has been challenging that for some time. Tom Reisenbichler puts the gorgeous in green. His modern masterpiece at 3501
Professional - Experienced - Trusted
Caruth Blvd. in University Park has received LEED Gold designation and was just listed by Deanne Brockwith Allie Beth Allman & Associates for $5.695 million. Reisenbichler, who built the home for his family, has a long history of designing medical facilities for Perkins+Will, a globally recognized, award-winning architecture and design firm known for thought, leadership and social responsibility. Tom and his wife, Lori, have always been on the cutting edge of “green.” Lori had the first Smart Car in Dallas, and a prior family home they designed and built on Orchid Lane met LEED building standards before those standards even existed for residential structures. Designing and building homes for his family led to a new endeavor, Nest Homes. Tom and his partner, Matt Richter, build luxury homes responsibly, effectively and to a standard that is continually innovative. Their goal is “creating environments that enhance living, evoke emotion and conversation.” His University Park home, which we featured in 2013 when it was on the
Dallas Center for Architecture tour, was created largely from recycled and reclaimed materials, as well as locally sourced and produced products. The tile floor in one of the bathrooms, for example, is made from recycled television glass. Reisenbichler took his inspiration for the design from the 75-year-old trees on the property resulting in a decidedly grown-up “tree house” feel. The open-plan design of the first floor seamlessly integrates interior and exterior spaces, creating an environment perfect for entertaining small or large groups. It might seem counterintuitive to have so much glass in a home, but increasing the amount of glass is integral to creating the connection with the outdoors, and it actually reduces energy consumption. The windows and doors are among the most high-efficiency available. That naturally leads to the question of utility bills. The average electricity bill on this 8,356-square-foot home is only $330 a month. With Energy Star appliances, foam insulation, photovoltaic solar panels, a rainwater harvesting system and tankless water heaters, no sustainability detail has been overlooked.
All that thoughtfulness paid off with a sought-after LEED Gold designation. Reisenbichler created further harmony with the outdoors by extending limestone walls from the exterior to the interior and then adding contrast with rich teak wood. This comes through very effectively in the home’s state-of-the-art bulthaup kitchen. The home has two fireplaces, three living areas, six bedrooms, six full and three half bathrooms. The second story houses the light-filled master suite, family bedrooms, a game room and guest quarters, which have their own separate living area and kitchen. Another brilliant feature is a separate guest entry. The house perfectly reflects the Nest Homes philosophy: “To many, the term luxury means wasteful or opulent, and the term sustainable means bohemian living. At NEST, we are proving that luxury and sustainability can live together in comfort and harmony.” CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly Real-Estate obsessed!

Ways to find extra storage space
By Stephan Sardone
Stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Extra space is almost always a good thing. A way to get that is by creating unique storage. Maybe you have a lot of books, spices or shoes. There are ways to utilize corners and cabinets, stairs and drawers to give yourself some extra storage space, and it doesn’t have to break the budget or sacrifice style. This might come in handy for those with smaller homes in particular. For each room, there is potential for extra storage. Take the staircase for example, as two ideas come to mind. First, you can make the space below the staircase into a large bookshelf for your literary collection or a place to display your trophies, trinkets and pictures. Another option is to use the actual stairs themselves as drawers. Underneath each step could be toys or even shoes. It becomes a convenient way to hide items that

The amount of protein will vary based on the individual, but I aim for 20 grams of protein to start my day. • Healthy Fat: Fat is the best macronutrient for satiety, meaning that it will keep you fuller for longer. So, if you struggle with mid-morning munchies, there is a good chance that you would benefit from more healthy fat in the morning. • Micronutrients: The richest sources of micronutrients (essentially vitamins and minerals) are vegetables and fruits, and it is critical to include these in your morning meal.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see rivals and enemies come together under a common banner and work toward a common end. In some cases, it is just as likely to see friends and compatriots sever ties and begin separate journeys toward far-flung shores that satisfy the varying desires of each. Alliances will be made and broken all week long, and all will be affected in ways that are variously subtle and bold. What really matters is that each individual does what he or she can to navigate these rough waters in order to arrive in port safe and sound — with confidence, vision and ambition intact. There are still rules to follow, surely; they serve current situations quite well and are not to be ignored. Romantic entanglements are not favored, yet that has never stopped the romantically inclined from falling headfirst into all manner of trysts. This week shall be no different, but more than the usual difficulties may arise — especially among those who wish to stretch a short-term relationship into something more lasting. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may discover a new and potentially lasting attachment to a whole set of ideas that are only now coming to the fore. (April 5-April 19) – Though you are facing a situation that does not favor your instinctive approach, you can surely alter
your behavior to improve the odds. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may begin the week a bit off balance, but you can regain your accustomed stance and forge ahead with confidence in a day or two. (May 6-May 20) – It would be foolish to deny something that is quite obvious to everyone around you. Instead, you can evolve with the times. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may find it necessary to do something that brings you no immediate pleasure, in order to secure pleasure later on. (June 7-June 20) – You may come to the conclusion that you are merely adrift and in need of some direction. Aim for consistency, too. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You're in no mood for any kind of affectation; you want to proceed in a way that is honest, open and down-to-earth. (July 8-July 22) – You are more ready for what is about to happen than you could possibly imagine, and your demeanor proves it. When the time comes to act, act! LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) It may fall to you to do something no one else wants to do, but you know that it is necessary,
and you will proceed in a proper fashion. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You're about to begin a journey that can bring you a great deal of satisfaction — provided you're willing to learn about yourself! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You can unite a great many under a common banner, but where you will end up may be a mystery until you find yourself there. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Others are likely to look to you for the kind of guidance that you, too, are seeking. You can do a lot of good for many of them, however. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) Time spent with family and loved ones can ease your inner tensions considerably. Your conduct sends a certain message. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You're not the first — or the last — to face impending events with a certain trepidation. Your mettle will be tested. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You're not after prominence, but rather consistency — whether alone or with others. Your compatriots pledge themselves anew. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You may receive advice from an elder that defies your particular brand of logic. You must work toward a compromise.

mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and asparagus in this dish, but feel free to choose whatever you like). Layer them in a greased baking dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs (approximately 10 eggs, or 5 eggs and 10 egg whites) with some salt and pepper or salsa. Pour the egg mixture over the eggs, and bake at 400 degrees for 50-55 minutes. • Green smoothie: A healthy green smoothie should contain lots of greens (think spinach, kale, celery, and cucumbers), approximately 1 cup of frozen fruit, a source of protein (try a clean protein powder like my favorite at bit.ly/lyonsprotein, or plain Greek yogurt), and a source of healthy fat (1/4 avocado, 1 Tbsp. chia seeds, or 1 Tbsp. almond butter).

MOVIE TRAILER
Funny ‘Everybody Wants Some’ provides insight on 1980 Texas youth By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
It is safe to assume that the Van Halen song “Everybody Wants Some” hasn’t appeared in a movie since it was used as the basis for a claymation sequence starring a hamburger in the 1985 comedy “Better Off Dead.” Thankfully, that is all that director/ writer Richard Linklater’s latest slice of nostalgia has in common with that just over 30 year old movie. Like many of his previous movies, Linklater’s “Everybody Wants Some” may be destined to become a cult classic. Unlike his previously overpraised, overrated, and over-long borefest “Boyhood,” this movie has charm, loads of humor, and brazenly and unapologetically puts the experience Photos courtesy of Paramount Pictures of college on screen prior to political Richard Linklater nails it in "Everybody Wants Some." correctness smothering out fun of any are fairly one dimensional. kind. Among Jake’s new teammates are the “Everybody Wants Some” occurs in the verbose and Kerouac-reading Finnegan (Glen fall of 1980 and revolves around a southeast Powell), cocky, Magnum PI-stached senior Texas college baseball team. This virtually McReynolds (Tyler Hoechlin), a pitcher on plotless movie is more focused on the showcase of personalities that flow in and out of the testosterone overload, Jay (Juston Street), and, story, which uses freshman pitcher Jake (Blake of course, the lovable Pink Floyd afficionado/ Jenner) as the focal point. It covers his first few stoner, Willoughby (Wyatt Russell). There’s also Dale (J. Quinton Johnson), who seems to days at school before class begins and his introduction to teammates, who are loaded with be the only guy on the team possessing a mental baseline based in reality. quirk and all smartly portrayed, even if some
Luckily, Jake isn’t alone and his fellow freshman help absorb some of the upperclassmen abuse. Most notably of Jake’s classmates is southern rube Beuter (Will Brittain), who spends most of his time on the phone with his high school girlfriend, drinking Lone Star, and putting huge chunks of tobacco in his lip. Most of “Everybody Wants Some” revolves around one thing: sex. There are fantastic scenes of these guys hanging out, drinking beer and being overly competitive in nearly every single aspect of life, but the pursuit of girls is the main theme. They do talk about baseball quite a bit, even though there isn’t one shot of the team playing or practicing until about 90 minutes in to the movie. In between the juvenile moments, “Everybody Wants Some” has some highly insightful thoughts about growing up and how everything in life changes from moment to moment. When Jake brings up the fact that the team goes from a disco club to a cowboy bar to a punk rock concert in three consecutive nights being a sign that they are phonies, Finnegan calls it “adapting.” Believe it or not, that is the story this movie is telling. Whether it’s a freshman baseball player realizing they are no longer the high school star or a theater major knowing they have to compete with the best of the best from hundreds of high schools, adapting is part of life. Even a few of the thicker baseball players realize that once college ends, so does their baseball career and they will yet again be

ABC’s high hopes fall flat By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net Things aren’t going according to plan when a network fires its entertainment president at halftime.

ABC also has seen significantly diminished audiences for “How to Get Away with Murder,” which is only in its second season. “Modern Family,” wrapping up its seventh year, is no longer at its peak ratings-wise or content-wise. The network has renewed “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” for a fourth season despite scant indication it will ever be more than marginally popular despite the heavy promotion it’s received. FUTURE POSSIBILITIES: Here are some notable pilots that might make the varsity next season. *** “Broken,” which has been filming in North Texas this month, looks like a very strong bet to make the cut. Anna Pacquin stars as a cutthroat Dallas divorce attorney in a drama whose executive producers include Reese Witherspoon. Blair Underwood and Penelope Ann Miller also are in the cast. *** “Designated Survivor” is a sure bet because ABC already has committed to 13 episodes. Kiefer Sutherland is the lead dog, playing a lower level U.S. cabinet member who gets appointed president after everyone ahead of him in the succession line is killed in a mass terrorist attack during the State of the Union message. Sounds more like a job for Jack Bauer. *** For comic relief there’s “Downward Dog,” starring former Dallasite Allison Tolman (season one of FX’s “Fargo”) and a canine that talks to viewers. *** Candice Bergen hopes to return to series TV as the star of the sitcom “Pearl.” She plays a cancer-ridden matriarch intent on orchestrating her family’s fortunes before expiring.

forced to adapt to what life hands them. Some may take issue with a houseful of guys chasing girls for two hours, but Linklater does a fantastic job of making all of them highly likable and justifies the actions of everyone. Sure, Jake is running around like a typical oversexed 18-year old guy, but his sweet, good-natured self comes out when he meets the highly intelligent Beverly (Zoey Deutch). Their attraction to each other is obvious from the start, but Linklater and the actors give them depth, which turns what would be a sleazy one-nighter in less intelligent fare into a burgeoning relationship that is a pleasure to watch. With “Everybody Wants Some”, Linklater has pulled off something almost as rare as seeing a unicorn. This movie is loaded with sex-crazed, self-aware humans of either gender, yet not for one second does anyone become obnoxious or overly sentimental. It’s as if every character saw “Dazed & Confused” and has chosen “just keep living” as their own personal mantra. “Everybody Wants Some” is everything you could ever want in a movie. It’s highly funny, incredibly smarter than you would ever expect, and even though it only shows three days of it, it’s one of the greatest college experience movies ever made. When the screen fades to black with one of best final shots in recent movie history, it’s genuinely upsetting because two hours isn’t enough time to hang out with this ragtag crew of jocks.

It’s only a ‘Paper Moon’ on Tuesday “Paper Moon” is the latest in the “Big Movie” film series presented by The Magnolia Theatre at 3699 McKinney Ave. in the West Village on Tuesday, April 12. Curtain times are at 7:30 and 10 p.m. A smooth-talking con man Moses (Ryan O’Neal) partners with a young orphan named Addie (Tatum O’Neal) in this Depression Era classic. Directed by Peter Bogdanovich, Tatum O’ Neal won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at 10 years old.
At one hour, six minutes and 58 seconds, Tatum O’Neal’s performance is the longest to ever win an Academy Award in a supporting acting category. The balance of films in the Tuesday night series are “The Bicycle Thief,” “The Seven Year Itch,” “Repulsion” and “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.” Advance tickets can be purchased at landmarktheatres. com. For more information, call 214-520-0394. — Ken Freehill
Alex Ross as Mickey Deans tries to calm Janelle Lutz’s Judy Garland on one of her meltdowns. Cheryl Denson are to be recognized. Less subtle was her interpretation of Garland’s trademark vibrato. One patron commented that it was overdone. To balance your own vocal style while incorporating another’s so intricately has to be challenging, and Lutz rose to the occasion. The actress has local credits at Dallas Children’s Theater, WaterTower and many area theaters, in addition to her earlier role as Judy Garland in Uptown’s, “The Boy from Oz.” Alex Ross as Mickey Dean, Garland’s much younger love interest and manager, left this patron wondering whether he was a sleazy opportunist, or genuinely loved the star, and that takes skill in itself. It’s Ross’s second time to perform with Lutz, as he played the role of Peter Allen in “The Boy from Oz.” Ross also has a history with Uptown that includes “Equus” and “Altar Boyz” and has credits at several other area theaters. Christopher Curtis was exceptional as the flamboyant, overprotective Anthony, who made his life’s mission trying desperately to shield the star from hurt. Curtis’ most recent credit with Uptown is in “Catch Me If You Can,” and he’s been seen at many other local theaters. Doubling as a radio interviewer, porter and other minor roles, Paul J. Williams made his comeback to Uptown, at which the busy actor’s been a veteran since 2003. While this performance was to have been her shot at a comeback, it instead highlighted her downfall. According to Director Cheryl Denson, “The play gives us a front row seat to the downward spiral of her life during the engagement at [London’s club], The Talk of the Town.” Lutz’s strong performance closed the curtain with her powerful vocal, asking the question, “If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why can’t I?” “End of the Rainbow” continues through April 17.
