Playwright, actor tackles emotional journey with finesse By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com

An 11-year-old child with autism, his overwhelmed mother, an insensitive musician father who “shows up” after remarrying an intrusive, thin, young and beautiful stepmom make for an interesting story. When the playwright has lived it, the play becomes brilliant theater. “Self Injurious Behavior” (SIB), now playing at Theatre Too through Sunday, June 10, is that kind of theater. At its core is Jessica Cavanagh, the playwright and principal actor. This could have been a sappy, disingenuous treatment, being cathartic for the playwright while entertaining the masses. However, Cavanagh rolled out her own story with sophistication and finesse. It feels genuine. It engages you with heart-wrenching content. Not to worry, though. It has its share of over-thetop comic relief from complex characters. Another brava to the show’s director, Marianne Galloway, whose name also rolls off the collective tongue of Dallas’

theater community and patrons as both an actor and director. Galloway said, “We’re grateful to Theatre Three for supporting this critical ‘workshop’ stage of the development process. Here, a new script has the weight of a full rehearsal process and performance schedule behind it to flesh out the script on its feet.”

Galloway added, “You can discover [through workshops] where questions might be answered in staging, or by the environment of the set, or silently in a moment between actors ... all things that can’t truly be explored in a staged reading.” One of three sisters, Cavanagh as Summer is joined by Danielle Pickard as Harmony and Jennifer Kuenzer as Sage. The dynamics between the three are stories in themselves. From precocious to sensible to troubled, each has her own schtick. In the relationships petty squabbling gives way to full out daggers to love and support. They’re all present and feel authentic. Playing Summer’s son with autism, 11-year-old Benjamin, is a young, up-andcoming actor, Jude Segrest. If you have your own child with autism or have been with other families who do, you may have experienced being in the room with a child living with an autistic disorder.

Don Morphy ignites men’s style locally

lfrazier@diamondiconconsultants.com The “don.” Whether definitively known as “the boss” or as “the best of,” it’s clear that the “don” in Dallas menswear label Don Morphy defines the best in style. Spotted amongst the streets of Dallas, Don Morphy founder Daniel Mofor makes a statement. Colorful, classic and suave — Mofor embodies the art of dressing as he paints his way through the Big D one impeccably tailored suit at a time. There is a new sheriff in town, fashionistas, — the “Don Cheriff “(as in sheriff) as he is known in his native Cameroon — and he didn’t come to play around in the fashion game. Recently recognized by Fashion Group International of Dallas as one of its “Rising Stars” in men’s fashion, the Don Morphy brand is rapidly gaining a cult following. A noted favorite to fashion enthusiasts, influencers and celebrities (such

Just fresh off of its successful retail pop-up in Victory Park, the Don Morphy group announced this week the launch of its custom “I Do” grooms and groomsmen collection, just in time for the summer and fall wedding seasons. Ditching the traditional rental tux theory, the “I Do” collection boasts precision, delicate details, bold fabrics, countless colors, luxury, quality and most importantly, sultry sophistication. “Weddings are uniquely special in that they mark the official beginning of a man’s lifetime commitment to his bride,” Mofor noted. “I am certain that there is a significant amount of grooms who feel stuck with renting a tux off the rack, and end up looking like they are wearing ‘another man’s suit’ on one of the most FASHION cont'd on page 5

NEWS FROM DISTRICT 8

Dallas ISD Trustee Miguel Solis Thank you for a great year! In a few weeks, the last bell will ring for the 2017-18 school year. Most students will rush out the door, while some will linger to say“good bye”to close friends and teachers. Before everyone departs to enjoy another summer, I’d like to congratulate our teachers, administrators, parents and of course, our students, for another successful year and to each of you I say THANK YOU for the hard work and dedication, especially to the District 8 community. We are closing another year on a high note Dallas ISD students in fifth and eighth-grade can be proud of their accomplishments on the first administration of the STAAR that shows them outpacing the state in nearly every category. Results released by the Texas Education Agency show all math comparisons increased by at least five percentage points. That’s up from last year with double-digit gains at the Meets Performance Level. Reading results showed an impressive increase as fifth-graders posted gains in every performance level, and the greatest growth was at the Meets Level with a 9.2 percentage point increase, while students at the Approaches level gained nearly 7 percentage points. Among other achievements accomplished this year is having lowered the number of Improvement Required schools to fewer than 5. Everyone’s hard work is paying off, congratulations and thank you! Exciting programs to come to District 8 next school year Dallas ISD will soon have a school for boys with the same successful model as the Solar Prep for Girls School. The new Solar Preparatory School for Boys will open August 2018. Spots are still available. For more information, visit dallasisd.org/applychoice. The Personalized Preparatory at Sam Houston Elementary will offer a curriculum that meets the

needs and interests of students in pre-K through second. The new Montessori Academy at Onesimo Hernandez Elementary will open its doors to students in pre-K through second grade, offering them an environment which fosters independency and a love for learning. Summer tips Begin planning for the next few months by asking your child’s teachers about summer activities that will help enhance what has been learned this year. Check with the school’s Physical Education teacher about summer sports options to support physical activity. Dallas ISD offers summer programs and enrichment opportunities in partnership with several community organizations. The district offers more than 100 options with emphasis in the arts, science, technology and other areas that will help prevent summer loss by reinforcing what students learned during the year in fun and interactive sessions. To learn about the summer program opportunities around Dallas ISD, go to dallasisd.org. Enrollment dates vary per program and campus. I encourage you to contact the school offering the program that peaks your interest. Also, remember to check community service organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, the YMCA and YWCA and Girls, Inc. Talk to the churches in your community, as well as the local businesses that may sponsor camps. Lastly, keep an eye out for camp offerings from area sports organizations. The key is to keep your children mentally and physically engaged, not just entertained all summer. Help them avoid the dreaded“summer learning loss” by helping them locate ways to expand their minds and move their bodies in the home, in the community, in a class or at a summer camp. I wish everyone a safe, relaxing and fun summer. Thanks for a great year. See you on Aug. 20 to begin a new and exciting school year!

MULL IT OVER

AUTOMOBILITY

By David Mullen

By David Boldt

On Sept. 7, 1979, the landscape of sports television changed. A live sports news show, presented on cable, was broadcast from Bristol, Conn. via the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, now known as ESPN. The telecast would evolve into the channel's flagship program “SportsCenter.” It was broadcast to 1.4 million cable subscribers throughout the U.S. In 2017, ESPN was in approximately 90 million U.S. households or more than 76 percent of U.S. households with at least one television set. In April, ESPN lost half-a-million cable and satellite subscribers, despite the NBA and NHL playoffs and the baseball season underway. It is estimated that 14 million homes have abandoned the self-proclaimed “Worldwide Leader in Sports” over the last seven years. What happened to the once inhome sports staple now majority owned by the media giant Walt Disney Company? ESPN has become unwatchable, in my opinion, because it is run by people that have no idea about sports. Consultants come in and tell the network robots — who are trying to keep their jobs — what people want to see. It has become the network of political correctness and personal opinion. And Disney has the resources to keep it alive. The network has some wonderful feature programming like “30 for 30” and “E:60.” But on “SportsCenter,” they unceremoniously feature the most annoying person in the sports media (save Skip Bayless) Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James, the New York Yankees, the New York Mets, the Boston Red Sox, women’s softball played in front of empty seats and Euro Soccer like that is all America cares about. “Joe Six-Pack,” the fan that built the network, is reaching for the remote in his easy chair. Except for an occasional Dallas Cowboys story, it appears that ESPN does not believe that there are sports being played outside of the Eastern Time Zone. Barry Horn had a 30-year career at The Dallas Morning News, mostly as their sports media writer, until being let go in a budget crunching move in late March. “They [ESPN] only cover franchises. They pick the top 50 franchises and just cover them.” Because of social media, “‘SportsCenter’ isn’t relevant anymore,” Horn said. He doesn’t believe the losses at ESPN are

On Washington’s Embassy Row it was, a couple of weeks ago, a weekend of open houses. The French and Germans were celebrating their European Union at the French Embassy, while Brits were celebrating being British and an upcoming wedding at their embassy. In doing a quick tour of the British get-together we were again reminded, via displays by Aston Martin, Bentley, Land Rover and Lotus, of Britain’s devotion to motoring and motorsport. Notably, much of that history has been augmented by the marriage of a British chassis with an American powertrain; an AngloAmerican alliance, if you will, long before Harry and Meghan began forging their photogenic link. While much of that early Anglo-American automotive history has gone undocumented, it seems many post-World War II initiatives took the form of V8-60 Fords swapped into the chassis of pre-war and postwar MGs. Given the relatively compact dimensions of the Ford (and ‘they were everywhere’ availability), it was a reasonably straightforward swap. And as you’d expect, the power would quickly overwhelm that small MG chassis if mods weren’t made to suspension and brakes. On a more substantial scale, the roadsters of Sidney Allard would benefit from all manner of swaps, with donor powerplants — according to Wikipedia — coming from Ford, Cadillac, Chrysler, Buick and Oldsmobile. With lightweight bodies and potent V8s, Allard’s very special ‘specials’ made a mark on American road racing just as road racing was re-established on this side of the Atlantic. Most famously, at the dawn of the ’60s American Carroll Shelby adapted the Allard process (if you can call it a ‘process’) after retiring from a successful driving career. In combining an AC sports car and Ford’s all-new, lightweight V8,

Neil Everett and Stan Verrett of "SportsCenter." based on content. “The decline is that people are just giving up cable and satellite,” Horn said. “It’s crazy. I have two sons who both have houses in Dallas and neither one of them subscribe to cable or satellite. They just go a la carte. Cable killed itself with bundling. We all have stations on our cable that we will never watch in a million years. And we are paying for them. “I am pretty sure that ESPN is up to $8 to $8.50 a month on our cable bill,” Horn said. “The only thing that draws viewers to ESPN is live sporting events. That’s it. Forget about the other shows. Nobody is watching those shows. I look at the ratings all of the time, and the ratings for those shows in Dallas/Fort Worth everyday are 0.0 or 0.1. But you are paying for ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, Longhorn Network, ESPN Desportes [etc.]. They just bundle it all in, and the ratings on those networks are terrible.” ESPN’s contract to broadcast Monday Night Football games is approximately $1.2 billion annually, albeit a contract much in favor of the NFL, which has become more focused on Thursday night and Sunday day and night games. The live NFL broadcasts have helped keep ESPN somewhat relevant. “It’s a lost leader,” Horn said. “They don’t make any money on the NFL. But it is like Walmart. It brings you into the store. And Monday Night Football has lost all of its cache. They don’t get the top games anymore.” The ratings-grabbing Cowboys play just one Monday night game this season on Nov. 5 against the Tennessee Titans. ESPN has seven television outlets — there is no “ESPN8: The Ocho” despite the reference in the film “DodgeBall: A True

Carroll created the instantly iconic Shelby Cobra. While total production of the Cobra between ’62 and ’67 was relatively small, the model lives on in the countless replicas offered by the kit car industry, as well as Shelby’s own continuation Cobras built by Shelby American. Shortly after Shelby began building and racing Cobras, Ford Motor Company entered the international motorsport arena with its Ford GT. Early GTs were based largely on the work of British designer Eric Broadley David Boldt and his mid-engined Lola GT. With mods made by Broadley while under contract to Ford, the result — built in England and branded as a Ford GT40 — enjoyed huge successes in endurance racing throughout the decade. While Ford swaps would dominate endurance competitions, it was Chevrolet’s turn in Can-Am. There, both McLaren — another Brit-based chassis — and Lola would use Chevy powerplants with huge success, leaving Ford and its engineers to wonder what-the-h*ll happened. Much later, with its acquisition of Jaguar, Ford would share platforms and some drivetrains between its Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type, as well as Ford’s Mondeo and Jaguar’s X-Type. Regrettably, the corporate marriage was short-lived, but Ford-derived powerplants have been used — until very recently — in both Jaguar and Land Rover/Range Rover products. So, while the union of England’s Prince Harry and American Meghan Markle is news among the Royals and given rapt attention by the global press, the combination of British and American in America’s garages is anything but new. And anything but boring. David Boldt brings years of experience in automotive retail sales and public relations to his automotive reporting. More can be found at txGarage.com.

The city of summer rises again

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com It’s that time of year again. It’s sunshine and heat. Grilling by the pool, ice pops and fruity drinks, river f loatin’ and party cove-in’. It’s wet. It’s hot. The American summer is here, and Memorial Day weekend is where it all begins. This weekend marks it as official. The summer season is upon us. And it’s the season of our city’s soul. The summer never actually leaves this place. No one can handle the heat like Ryann Dallas. And there’s nothing like summer in the South. Here in Dallas, we are able to spend a majority of our year outside. Never is our need for heat more apparent than the weekend that welcomes Memorial Day. Patios and parks will be packed across town. You’ll hear glasses clinking from rooftops around the city. And the lakes will be bustling with rednecks, suburbanites and city goers alike. And the f lags will be f lying their red, white and blue. (But is it the U.S. or Texas?) Float. It’s one of three weekends out of the year that we can string up like a f loatin’ trailer park and act like we’re from ... well, Oklahoma. Whether you are a local or not, you know about the lakes in DFW.  Ray Hubbard has beautiful views. Eagle Mountain has extending coastlines. Lake Lewisville has never-ending parties.

And if you know what I know, it’s the place to be this weekend. If you don’t have a boat, don’t worry. You can rent party barges in Lewisville for under $200 an hour (50 people can fit, y’all!). Check out Just for Fun Watercraft Rental for a barge to rent this weekend. Just make sure there’s an experienced driver aboard and that passengers are responsible. Park. Rather than f loating across a sea of three-day weekenders, park yourself down in the city and take in the gorgeous Dallas skyline from a patio or rooftop. Let me tell you, we’ve Gordon got the finest. Swing through downtown to the Statler Hotel’s rooftop hotspot or hit a raging pool party at the Nylo. If low key is more your scene, take it to the ground and kick back and park it for the day. While many might say hanging out at a public park is better reserved for cities like Denver and Portland, don’t count Dallas out just yet. Dallas has tons of great outdoor parks to play Frisbee golf or just kick back and lounge for a few hours, in the shade of course. The parks will be lit and that is all there is to it. Let’s just say, Memorial Day is an outrageous celebration in Dallas. And we’ll find any reason to shoot off fireworks without shame with beer in hand and bottle rockets blaring. Maybe not beer in hand, but the Dallas Symphony will be hosting their Memorial Day Concert + Fireworks this Monday, May 28.

NATIONAL MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY

Relentlessly supporting research projects to finally eradicate Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

By Sally Blanton

sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.

QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?

A Our vision is a world free of MS. Everything

we do is focused so that people affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever. The National MS Society was founded in 1946 by Sylvia Lawry, whose brother was diagnosed with MS following visual and balance problems. She dedicated her entire life to the pursuit of a cure.

QW hy are you passionate about helping this charity?

A My mother lived with primary progress MS

for many years, and this drives my passion every day. During my mother’s lifetime, there were no treatments for her disease. This changed in 2017 when the FDA approved Ocrevus, the first-ever treatment for people living with the most debilitating form of MS. As we move closer to ending MS forever, I often think of my mother and her optimistic words, “One day they’ll find a cure!”

QW hat is the most important thing your nonprofit does for our community?

A The National MS Society has just committed

more than $14.2 million to support 45 new MS research projects. This financial commitment is the latest in the Society’s relentless research effort, investing a projected $34 million in 2018 alone to support new and ongoing studies around the world. Two of those research projects are being conducted in Dallas at the University of Texas at Dallas.

QW hat is rewarding about your job?

A Fundraising and advocating for this cause is

rewarding because of the tangible outcomes we can develop for the inspiring people living with MS, for example, our MS Navigator program.

Q A bout how many people are served each year?

A Our MS Navigators, who serve as personal

advocates by responding to unique needs of each person affected by MS through their nationwide network, made more than 180,000 connections for people affected by MS last year.

QW hat are your critical needs now, besides money donations?

A The more people we have join the movement, the more impact we can have for people affected by MS. From advocating for change by calling on public officials to volunteering time at an event to joining with others affected to generate MS awareness, every connection counts toward ending MS forever.

QW hat is the most memorable thing that has happened since you began?

A The most fulfilling moments for me are

when I’m talking with people living with MS who’ve seen the quality of their lives improve because of treatments from research or programs and services designed to enhance their well-being. Being at the Yellow Rose Gala among so many inspiring young philanthropists that are driven to end MS, specifically the most progressive form of the disease, is something I won’t forget.

The interior skews toward restaurant instead of barbecue shack. There’s a large bar, lots of tables and a bit of atmosphere with soft lighting. Sandwiches straddle tradition and casual dining as well. Pulled pork comes with slaw; or the other smoked meats slide between the halves of a bun with sauce if you like. The sandwich wild cards are the brisket cheese steak and the BBQ Cuban. The cheese steak variation includes peppers, onions and mushrooms topped with queso.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Versatile dip with silky finish By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Whether you are using ranch dressing as a dipping sauce or over salad, it has become the go-to for many of us. Now take the healthy fat of the moment — avocado — and add to some homemade ranch, creamy with buttermilk and Greek yogurt. Avocado adds a silky consistency that really dresses up the dressing.

candace@candysdirt.com Remember our mantra about buying the home of a builder, an architect or a designer? We have a home run for you today. Our “Home of the Week” is at 4310 Candace Evans Abbott Ave. and is one of the most cutting-edge classic contemporary urban villas we’ve ever seen. First Base. The home was built in 2001 by Urban Edge Developers founder Diane Cheatham. Cheatham is the brains behind Urban Reserve, the coolest neighborhood in Dallas and perhaps in Texas. She is widely respected in the industry and one of the few female developers in America. Her company specializes in speculative, custom and multi-family homes. The company’s awards would fill the rest of this post. She built 4310 Abbott Ave. for herself and her husband. Second Base. The classic contemporary urban villa was designed by Graham Greene of Oglesby Greene. Again, a firm with so many awards, we’d have no room for anything else if we listed all of them. We will, however, give you a little taste. They designed 40 Braewood Place, 3908 Euclid Ave., Texas Discovery Gardens and Greenland Hills United Methodist Church. Third Base. Jim Rimelspach bought the house from Cheatham and redesigned the interiors, because he’s known for interiors, of course. Rimelspach is a principal with Wilson Associates, a global design firm specializing in the hospitality industry. If you’ve stayed in The InterContinental in downtown Los Angeles, The Fairmount Quasar Istanbul or the Four Seasons in Hong Kong, you’ll have a fair idea of the man’s design sensibilities. You don’t have to go that far. The firm also did the Omni Frisco Hotel. Home Run. Location, location, location. This 3,964-square-foot classic contemporary urban villa is right in the heart of Northern Heights. Where’s that you say? It’s a wonderful little neighborhood just outside of Highland Park and within walking distance to Knox Street and the Katy Trail. Cheatham built two homes side-by-side when she began the development, and we cannot put it better than Oglesby Greene does on their website: “The site orientation, setbacks and program dictated a compact, intensely utilized volume to achieve an open flow within the interior spaces but also maintain a high degree of privacy and separation. The design response is based on the idea of a classic urban villa — strong street edge and public presence with a progression of spaces opening to a private urban scale garden — and adapts it to both the site and the pair of dwellings. “Facing the street are large translucent ‘bay windows’, providing both softened natural daylight throughout most of the interior and the framing for an open stairwell. Beyond the stair, the living/dining areas and the MULL cont'd from page 3 Underdog Story” — a national radio network and multiple streaming apps. They decided to break up the highly successful cash-cow “Mike & Mike” morning radio show, featuring Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic which was simulcast on ESPN2 and sunk $50 million into a new morning show, “Get Up!,” in April featuring Greenberg, Michelle Beadle (late of “SportsNation”) and former NBA player Jalen Rose. The show takes place in a New York City studio which cost $35 million to build. The three personalities reportedly make a combined $15 million a year. ESPN is slated to lose $1 billion this year. Many criticize ESPN’s political bent. Former anchorwoman Jemele Hill, who is black, called

The classic contemporary urban villa has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. A three-car garage sits just below street level. It’s exactly what you need if you crave an urban lifestyle but don’t want to be in the middle of the city.” Allie Beth Allman agents Brittany Mathews and  David Nichols have the property listed for $1.769 million. And remember, this classic contemporary urban villa is a home run! CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed!

Republicans and President Donald Trump a bunch of “white supremacists.” What does that have to do with sports? Despite a two-week suspension, she urged for an advertiser boycott of the Cowboys over her disagreement with owner Jerry Jones’ opinion of wanting players to stand during the National Anthem. Former ESPN president John Skipper, who resigned amidst a substance abuse issue, stated that ESPN policy is that the network is about sports news, and employees should “refrain in any public-facing forum from taking positions on political or social issues, candidates or office holders.” It was reported that ESPN’s new president, James Pitaro, said that he does not believe that the sports cable network is a “political organization,” and that their focus should be on the “sports fan.” He is

not even close. The revamped daily “SportsNation,” featuring Cari Champion, Marcellus Wiley and LZ Granderson, is a three-ring circus where the anchors scream and talk street jargon over each other. It may be the most annoying half-hour on TV. Imagine “The View” trying to break down a Golden State Warriors versus Houston Rockets Western Conference finals game. Last year, ESPN laid off nearly 100 on-air and frontline talents in an effort to stave off massive losses. “I always thought that ESPN was genius,” Horn said. “They had two revenue sources. They had advertising and they had subscriber fees. Don’t feel bad for ESPN. They still make a ton of money. But in the world we live in today, if you don’t increase your revenue, you are not successful anymore. It is like the newspaper business.”

Toddie Lee Wynne led “the Texas Oil guys” in the battle in the “hot oil wars” in East Texas (a battle for free markets against federal regulation and control). He was a neighbor in Highland Park, built the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel and his brother, Angus, started “Six Flags Over Texas.” The South’s oil has its place in history and the military. Texas has built ships, tanks and planes, and produced oil and gas to fuel all of them. 1940 to 1960 was the Age of Big Organization. And boy! There were big corporations for mass production of ships, trucks, tanks, airplanes, and big projects like air fields and the Big Inch Pipeline on the “Home Front.” Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas produced most of America’s oil and gas in World War II and still do. The Lone Star State produced 40 percent of U.S. oil and 25 percent of the world’s oil, with a refining capacity of about the same. Construction on the pipeline began when German U-boats began sinking tankers in the Gulf of Mexico. Texas will continue to be a leader in many aspects, oil among the greatest.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week is likely to require the willingness to come to terms with thoughts long ago banished from consciousness, as events seem to raise the dead and present many ghosts that compel individuals into taking action both good and bad. This week, the past and the present meet in what may be called a "tumultuous" fashion, demanding a commitment to bringing about change. Some may find themselves sinking into a self-indulgent quagmire of emotion that is neither healthy nor useful, and they will need friends to help pull them out again. Some can escape this — only to find themselves face-to-face with their fears. All will have to say or do that which is difficult in order to put to rest matters that should have been dealt with long ago.

MOVIE TRAILER

UNCLE BARKY'S BITES

Faces of television greatly changed

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net

'Solo: A Star Wars Story’ can be left alone

NBC’s fall lineup likewise has only a small sprinkling of three new fall series. The network’s lone freshman sitcom, “I Feel Bad,” is written by Aseem Batra and built around a vexed mom played by Sarayu Blue. A first-year drama series, “Manifest,” is topped by Melissa Roxburgh, who starred this season in The CW’s since canceled “Valor.” The other new drama, a medical series titled “New Amsterdam,” goes against the grain by casting a white male, Ryan Eggold, in the lead. He’s rebounding from NBC’s short-lived spinoff series “The Blacklist: Redemption.” Besides its new look version of “Charmed,” The CW is offering “All American,” a high school football drama with African-American leads Taye Diggs and Daniel Ezra. There’s also a spinoff of “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals.” It’s called “Legacies,” with Danielle Rose Russell from “The Originals” listed as the lead member of the cast. That leaves ABC, a practitioner of diversity when diversity wasn’t necessarily cool with shows such as “black-ish, Fresh Off the Boat, Scandal” and “How to Get Away with Murder.” For fall 2018, though, the network has three additions with white males as their clear centerpieces. Nathan Fillion, who previously had success with ABC’s “Castle,” returns to the network as a middle-aged newcomer to the LAPD in “The Rookie.” Alec Baldwin gets his own interview hour, “The Alec Baldwin Show,” after a one-episode sneak preview in March. And a new comedy series, “The Kids Are Alright,” is set in the 1970s, with an Irish Catholic brood of eight sons and no daughters vying for laughs along with their vastly outnumbered parents. Another new sitcom, “Single Parents,” focuses on a 30-something dude named Will (former “Saturday Night Live” regular Taran Killam), who’s “lost sight of who he is as a man,” according to ABC’s description of the show. The ensemble freshman fall drama “A Million Little Things” bills white actors Ron Livingston and David Giuntoli as the leads. For those keeping score, this makes ABC the CBS of a year ago while CBS rather suddenly will have more shows with African-Americans in the leads this fall than any of its rivals. Plus a Latino Thomas Magnum. White males, who pretty much had everything going their way for decades, are hardly in a position to cry foul. Not yet anyway. Save for ABC as an outlier, the coming fall can be seen as an act of contrition for the days when white males kept getting another turn at bat whether their previous series failed or succeeded. Now many of them are sliding off the playing field while people of color and women have become priority first-teamers. In just a few months, viewers will be the final judges. That hasn’t changed.

The face and faces of network prime-time television underwent a major makeover last week with the anEd Bark nouncements of next fall’s new series on ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW. Diversity and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the impact of the #MeToo movement, are abundantly evident while white males in large part have slipped to second banana status after having it their own way for decades. Oddly enough, ABC is the only exception this fall, but already has an established track record in casting women and people of color in lead roles. In that context, the network’s fallback to earlier times in some ways can be seen as being diverse in reverse. More on this later. The most striking sign of these times, CBS’ “Magnum P.I.” reboot, will star a Latino in the title role with a female Higgins (first name, Juliet) who not only has a pair of Dobermans but is skilled in the martial arts. Another reboot, The CW’s “Charmed,” has three Latina sisters as its apprentice witches. CBS’ previous fall schedule had males in the lead roles of all six new series. Save for the network’s “S.W.A.T.” re-do, all of them were white. New entertainment president Kelly Kahl, who had barely begun his new job back then, promised a new direction the next time around. He’s done considerably more than that. CBS’ course correction amounts to a full U-turn. The half-dozen newcomers slated for fall 2018 premieres star either people of color, or in the “Murphy Brown” reboot’s case, the same woman who made the role famous along with a trio of Candice Bergen’s original castmates. For its “God Friended Me” drama series (think “Touched By An Angel”), CBS chose young African-American actor Brandon Micheal Hall after his sitcom “The Mayor” got a quick ax from ABC last fall. The network’s two other fall comedies, “The Neighborhood” and “Happy Together,” respectively star Cedric the Entertainer and Damon Wayans Jr. Both are built around African-American households enduring a sudden incursion of white folks. CBS’ other first-year drama, “FBI,” gives top billing to Missy Peregrym and Egyptian actor Zeeko Zaki, with veteran Jeremy Sisto also featured. Fox has just two new fall series, plus a life raft for Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing,” which spent a year in exile after being canceled by ABC at the close of the 2016-17 season. “The Rel” stars African-American comedian Lil Rel Howery as himself. “The Cool Kids,” with veteran AfricanAmerican actor David Alan Grier given top billing in Fox publicity materials, is set Ed Bark, who runs the TV website unin a retirement home and also stars Vicki clebarky.com, is a past member of the naLawrence, Martin Mull and Leslie Jordan. tional Peabody awards board.

Diversity and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the impact of the #MeToo movement, are abundantly evident while white males in large part have slipped to second banana status after having it their own way for decades.

The new cast of "Magnum, P.I."

MAY 25 - 31, 2018

in non-franchise building detritus. “Solo” does get a major lift when Lando and his robot sidekick, L3-37 (Phoebe WallerBridge), show up. Glover plays Lando like he wants to be the coolest guy in the room, but isn’t quite sure the best way to do it yet. At times, he’s awkward or flustered, which is a brilliant way to show that Lando wasn’t always silky smooth and it took time to perfect his craft. Waller-Bridge essentially steals the entire movie as L3. She moves to the top of the list of “Star Wars” droids, easily knocking that droid that breaks down on Luke’s farm from the number one spot (just kidding, R2-D2 4-ever). All the fanboy stress and angina over Ehrenreich was a non-starter. He’s great as Han and somehow found a way to imitate Harrison Ford while not imitating him. Since he’s not yet soured by age and experience, Ehrenreich’s Han loads up on youthful exuberance and optimism while still delivering plenty of slick insults. “Solo” doesn’t ruin the character, but it also doesn’t do him any justice. It’s formulaic without any inkling of creative spark. It makes one wonder if original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were going in a direction that frightened the Disney Overlords and it cost them their jobs. Instead, they have a polished, non-threatening or challenging movie from a director who clearly knows how to play the Hollywood studio game. There’s no doubt that “Solo” is going to earn a ton of cash. No matter how forced it seems, there is nothing bad about seeing Han meet Chewie. It’s just that once that initial rush of fun wears off, there’s really not much else to see and this one time shot could and should have been so much more.

@chiccywood

There was plenty of stink emanating from the production of “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” It’s going to be inevitable when a movie studio steps in to fire the directors after the cameras have already started rolling. But the most troubling rumor of them all? The guy that was chosen to play one of the most iconic, revered roles in movie history had to have on-set acting lessons. Woof. Well, it turns out that Alden Ehrenreich is a perfect version of a young Han Solo. The rest of this origin story that nobody knew we needed? Um, not so much. “Solo” is a checklist kind of movie and director #2, Ron Howard, hits all the highlights. Han meets Chewbacca, wears the vest, gets the cool gun, buddies up with Lando, flies the Millennium Falcon, “yada yada yada” and none of that spoils the movie. Of course that stuff is in “Solo.” It would be unreasonable to think otherwise. The fun should be just how we get there and sadly, Howard’s boring take on it just doesn’t fly. He manages to make the Kessel Run, Han’s claim to fame, a lengthy, drawn out bore. Who knew that parsecs took so damn long? It turns out that there are plenty of characters other than Chewie and Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) in Han’s past. There’s a girlfriend, Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke), with whom Han ran street con games and his mentor, Beckett (Woody Harrelson), a career thief that helped build up Han’s future trust issues. All of them are on the wrong side of the ledger with Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany), a bloodthirsty gangster with deep pockets. These are all cool characters, but the plot lurches forward in an extremely episodic fashion. An exceptionally filmed and fun train robbery more than wears out its welcome and the surprising dramatic events that happen during it are instantly forgotten. That’s all because “Solo” needs to get on to the next nostalgic LUCASFILM LTD. event and it can’t possibly be bogged down Alden Ehrenreich plays the perfect version of a young Han Solo.

‘JERSEY BOYS’ is a great musical romp

“Too good to be true!” raves the New York Post for “JERSEY BOYS,” the musical about Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the story of how four blue-collar kids became one of the greatest successes in pop music history. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide — all before they were 30. “JERSEY BOYS” features their hit songs “Sherry,”“Big Girls Don’t Cry,”“Rag Doll,”“Oh What a Night,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.”“It will run for centuries!”

Lt. Col. Oliver North to speak at church

By Andy Boyd

andy.boyd@fellowshipchurch.com Ed Young and Fellowship Church are hosting a special Memorial Day event Sunday, May 27, with featured guest speaker Lt. Col. Oliver North, a highly decorated U.S. Marine Corps officer who has been awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star (with a V for Valor) and two Purple Hearts. Colonel North is uniquely qualified to speak to the heroic sacrifice made by countless men and women for the freedom of our nation. Pastor Young said, “Oliver North stands as a beacon of strength, honor and the foundation on which this country was built. We’re thrilled to welcome this American hero to our church! We believe that one of the greatest gifts we’ve all been given is the freedom we experience every day in our nation. There are so many who have sacrificed for that freedom, and we look forward to honoring those men and women who provide it.” This event takes place Sunday morning, as church attendees gather at all eight Fellowship Church locations throughout Dallas/Fort

Worth, Miami, and North Port, Fla.
