'The sun will come out on Tuesday'
By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
For weeks in Dallas, who among us hasn’t hummed “The sun will come out tomorrow,” or at least wished for it as we waded through torrential rains, flooded streets, with wet shoes and frizzy hair? The sun will come out in Dallas, when the classic musical “Annie” opens at the AT&T Performing Arts Center’s (ATT PAC) Winspear Opera House on Tuesday, June 23, for a two-week run through July 5. The show’s original lyricist and director, Martin Charnin
WHERE'S JAN BRADY? SEE PAGE 11 will direct for the 19th time. This production is said to be, “A brand new physical incarnation of the iconic Tony Awardwinning original.” A little back story of interest as it relates to the Broadway production — the original comic strip, “Little Orphan Annie” (“Annie”) was named for an 1885 poem by James Whitcomb Riley. Harold Gray created the syndicated strip for Tribune Media Services. “Annie” made her debut on Aug. 5, 1924 in the New York Daily News. The strip appealed to adults, as well as children, with its political commentary, primarily targeting organized labor, communism and “The New Deal.”

Teenage girl band rocks the house

It’s The Bombs, an alternative punk rock group led by three teenage girls practicing for another Deep Ellum performance. “I book the shows,” said 18-year-old Carrie Cohen, bass guitar player Photo by Erin Renfro and leader of the band. “We Carrie Cohen, Katie Duke and Kenley Turner make up the teenage are usually in the middle girl rock band The Bombs. of a show or play alone.” Stephen now steps in on attic, Stephen, with a laugh, While they had a female drums.

“Fortunately, we live in a 100-year-old brick house,” Carrie and Stephen’s father Gregg Cohen said, “so the music does not intrude much. We have noticed that neighbors walking their dogs tend to linger in front of the house, out of curiosity and appreciation for the music.” “The neighbors come by and say, ‘Hey, y’all sound good,’” Carrie said. Most practices are held during the day, often on a Saturday afternoon. “We don’t make a lot of noise late because that’s rude,” Carrie said.

In returning to the Buhrer and Moser family tree as featured in earlier issues, here is a refresher: Anna Buhrer and her brother, Jacob Buhrer emigrated to the U.S. from Zurich, Switzerland in 1875. Like many Swiss families, they were in the dairy trade. Each family established one of Dallas’ first two dairies. Jacob Buhrer founded Swiss Dairy on the creek bed of White Rock Creek. The land on which the family also built its home includes the current site of White Rock’s spillway. Anna married Christian (Chris) Moser, and the couple settled, had children and established the other of the first two Dallas dairies in what is now “Old” East Dallas. It was College Hill Dairy, located at Ross Avenue between Greenville Avenue and Henderson Avenue. Anna and Chris Moser had six children. The two dairy families branched into real estate and development,
business and more in addition to the dairies, and had major influence in Dallas and across the U.S. They grew the dairy industry in Dallas and industrialized it. Their real estate development included working with Carl Brown in developing the Casa Linda area. They were leaders in education. They served on the city council. Early ancestors served as presidents and officers of dairy trade associations. Around 200 members of the Moser and Buhrer families attended a March reunion at one of three churches the families founded Photo courtesy of the Moser family in White Rock and east Dallas.

Good and bad of sports fathers

ACKLES’ ANGLE
Jesuit baseball run comes up short
By David Mullen
By Chris Ackels
It is one of those magical moments in cinema and one of the most emotional scenes in movie history. A missing father John Kinsella (Dwier Brown) returns to meet son Ray (Kevin Costner) and play a simple game of catch on a ball yard that his son had created in an Iowa cornfield. In one scene, “Field of Dreams” captured the love of sports handed down from a father to his son. In honor of Father’s Day on Sunday, June 21, we look at sports fathers — great parents or less than stellar — who have nonetheless had an impact on their children. Walter Payton. Payton played his entire career with the Chicago Bears. He was a nine-time Pro Bowl running back. His coach Mike Ditka said, “He [Payton] was the greatest football player [I have] ever seen — but even greater as a human being.” He raised two children including son Jarrett, who introduced Payton in 1993 when he was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The speech by Jarrett was one of admiration and came from the heart. Payton died in 1999 at age 45 from a rare liver disease. In 2001, a biography was released that painted a much bleaker picture of the man named for NFL Man of the Year award, saying he had multiple affairs and abused drugs. Ken Griffey, Sr. A career .298 hitter, Griffey, Sr. had a solid major league career. But son Griffey, Jr. was a baseball phenomenon, mentored by his father all the way. While there was an issue with Griffey, Jr. in 1988 that he
Twelve years ago when Jesuit joined the UIL, the school left behind a half-century of athletic legacy. From 1954-1999, the Rangers won 110 state championships in 45 years as a part of the Texas Christian Interscholastic League (TCIL), and when the league fell apart in 2000, Jesuit sought membership to the toptier of high school athletics. The school has competed in the UIL since the 2003-04 school year and in many respects has done admirably well. In basketball and baseball, Jesuit has made the playoffs 11 out of 12 years in the league. In soccer the Rangers have made the playoffs all 12 years. And Jesuit football is currently riding a six year playoff streak. But only once has Jesuit won a UIL state championship in a team sport: soccer in 2010. Though six students from the school have won individual state titles — including swimmer Brendan Feehery this year — Jesuit is striving to solidify its standing as one of the premier high school athletic programs in the state. Enter the 2015 baseball team. After winning five consecutive district titles, this was the year to win the big one. Jesuit entered the season ranked among the state’s top 10, had eight players committed to play in college and had a stated goal of taking home the state title. “We realized pretty quickly that we had something special,” said senior Austin Sheahan, a first baseman headed to Cisco College to play next year. “We knew were the team everybody was talking about.” The team everybody was talking about boasted a team ERA of 1.26, a team batting average of .330 and an undefeated district record. MaxPreps had Jesuit ranked as high as number three in the nation at one point this season, and the site had them ranked number one in the state. The team everybody was talking about featured a Texas commit, a West Virginia signee, a multitude of Division I talent. Junior Kyle Muller, the future Longhorn, hit .383 on the year and led the team with seven home runs while also boasting a .990 ERA on the mound. The lefty struck out 106 batters in 63.2 innings of work. Senior Darius Hill, the future Mountaineer, was a .456 hitter and slugged .808 while knocking in 37 runs. He led the team in all three

Dick and Rick Hoyt. blamed on his father, the two actually grew closer. In 1990, while playing together with the Seattle Mariners, father and son would hit back-toback home runs in the same inning, a feat never accomplished in baseball history. Earl Woods. Earl Woods, the father of Eldrick “Tiger” Woods, was a collegiate baseball player, single-figure handicap golfer and mentor for one of the greatest players golf has ever seen. A direct correlation can be made with Earl’s death in 2006 and Tiger’s decline in his sport. Prior to Earl’s poor health, many emotional moments were shared by father and son after the final round of another Tiger victory. James Toney/Phillip Harrison. Shaquille O'Neal was born in 1972 to Lucille O'Neal and Joseph Toney, an All-State guard in high school. Toney was offered a basketball scholarship to play at Seton Hall, but instead struggled with drug addiction and was imprisoned for drug possession when O'Neal was an infant. O’Neal’s life became
shaped when the career military man and stepfather Harrison was given parental rights to O’Neal. Toney and O’Neal have never spoken. O’Neal credits the discipline provided by Harrison in helping in him establish a career as one of the most dominant centers in NBA history. Today, O'Neal is one of the most popular former athletes in the world. Bobby Hull. Hall of Famer Hull was one of hockey’s all-time greats. He is the father of former Dallas Star Brett Hull, who is just as impressive as his father. Together, they are the only father-and-son tandem to score more than 50 goals in a season and have more than 600 goals in a career. Richard Williams. Father of Serena and Venus Williams, Richard brought tennis into the girls’ lives at an early age, acting as coach and homeschool teacher. Venus had an impressive career in tennis but has started

categories. And the offense didn’t stop there. Senior Nick Ready hit .410 and had 36 RBIs, junior Bryce Bonner hit .378 even while hitting in the bottom half the lineup for most of the year, and classmate Cameron Dobbs had a .487 on base percentage in the leadoff spot. This team had it all. An offense that averaged better than six runs per game, and a pitching staff that allowed fewer than two runs per game. They were the favorites going into the UIL State Baseball Tournament last weekend in Round Rock and rightfully so. And then baseball happened. Jesuit ran into Cypress Ranch and the superb Riley Gossett on the mound. Gossett stifled the Rangers, holding Jesuit to three hits and keeping the game at 1-1 heading into the seventh inning. After Cy Ranch benefited from a fluke bounce off the base to earn a leadoff triple, they executed a surprise squeeze play to take a 2-1 lead and ultimately win the game by that score. Jesuit’s magical season disappeared just like that. “There’s nothing you can really say when something like that happens,” said assistant coach Sean Gavin. “We told them we were proud to be a part of a team like this one. These boys really came together as a team, and every one of them will look back on it years from now and see this as a really special time in their lives.” All of a sudden the numbers read 35-4-2. A state semifinalist, the farthest Jesuit baseball has ever gone and just one run away from a chance at the big one. But Sheahan and his teammates, Gavin and his coaches, hold no regrets. “What an awesome year,” Sheahan said, as he drives to a summer baseball game and looks forward to college ball. “We were the best team to ever put on a Jesuit uniform, and that really says something.” “It’s a fine group of young men,” Gavin said. “And next year, we’ve got a lot of talent coming back, and we’re already talking about getting back to Round Rock.” Sometimes it’s the kids who understand the meaning of high school athletics even more than the adults. When asked for any final thoughts about this team, Sheahan didn’t talk about numbers or stats, or wins or losses, or rankings or scholarships or playoffs. He talked about memories. “I will always remember the camaraderie we had and the friends I made on this team, for the rest of my life.”

The band has been together for four years and is comprised of the two Cohens, 17-year-old lead singer Katie Duke and 16-year-old lead guitarist Kenley Turner. Friend Erin Renfro, 17, handles recording, photography and road logistics. None are old enough to drink in the clubs they play in. “When we started, Kenley was 12,” Carrie said. When asked about his daughter’s budding talent, Gregg said, “Carrie has played instruments for most of her youth. When she got good at playing the flute, I was sure she was musically talented. When she graduated to bass guitar and started composing music, it was unquestionable.” “I got tired of playing all of the classical instruments,” Carrie, a graduate of Lakehill Academy currently at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, said. With her parents’ encouragement, she took up guitar. Gregg has missed only a couple of concerts while traveling. “Band parents are more fun to hang out with than soccer parents,” Gregg said. The Bombs just released their new single “Catfish,” and often play a tune entitled “Chanel from Hell.” The music is now selfproduced, after work done with the Sound Foundation, an artist development group. They are about to embark on a tour that includes stops in Albuquerque, Phoenix, San Diego and Los Angeles at the famed Whisky a Go Go on Sunset Boulevard. The tour opens on Friday night, June 26 in Dallas at the Boiler Room, 2723 Elm St. in Deep Ellum. “The band has been an effective contributor to Carries’ confidence and skills inventory,” Gregg said, “including task management, budgeting, promoting and conflict resolution.” She has handled potential conflict in the neighborhood by rocking the house and keeping the neighbors happy.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see many arranging and rearranging their lives in unusual ways, yielding to impulses and reacting to influences that may have been anticipated by some, but that are surely going to prove a surprise to others — at least in their ultimate effects. It can be said that nothing will be quite the same at the week's end as it was at the outset. Indeed, even the smallest, most subtle changes will prove significant in some way, if only for a short time. It will be clear to all that there is an increased need to be true to oneself, that a sacrifice may yet be required and that some things may take getting used to. Not everyone will react the same way to the arrangements and rearrangements that are in store. In fact, those who exert a controlling influence may actually find that they don't like what they have wrought, and would choose, if they could, to go back to the way things were. Whether this is possible has yet to be determined, of course. CANCER (June 21-July 7) Give yourself more time to do the things that are normally routine. You're likely to encounter unusual difficulties. (July 8-July 22) – Your physical stamina may not be what you had hoped it would, but you can make up for much through sheer will.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may have to revise your thinking in several ways once you have experienced what this week has in store! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Now that you know more about something that was only a distant assumption on your part, you can do something about it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You are going to have to ask someone for help before the week is through. While this may be uncomfortable, it is the only way out. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Give someone the time of day, and you'll realize that the more attention you bestow on him or her, the more you will enjoy in return. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) What goes around, comes around — the adage was never more true. Be sure you do nothing that welcomes any sort of chaos. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You'll want to learn more about a certain subject, but take care to follow the right clues down the right paths. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You're waiting, perhaps, for a signal from someone who is putting an exciting plan in motion. Your role may be enlarged. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You know just what you are capable of, yet
someone is expecting you to do even more than that. Take care of yourself! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) A disagreement mustn't be allowed to devolve into a lasting conflict. You know how to keep things light and positive. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You are considering severing ties with someone who pushes your buttons in all the wrong ways, but is this really the right course? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You may have to think twice about what you've planned for the week, as certain circumstances seem to have conspired against you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You'll be relieved to discover that someone whose intrusion you had feared is actually nowhere to be found. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) The person who last gave you instructions is waiting patiently for the result of your labors — but have you even started yet? (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You'll want to be sure that everything is in its place before you unveil a project you've been working on for quite some time. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) A minor mishap early in the week may have far-reaching

From the foyer, go left to the dining room currently housing a baby grand. On the other side of this room is the kitchen. Now here is the greatest thing: you could open the wall between the dining room and kitchen/breakfast room and create a huge new kitchen with great room or go back to an adjacent dining area. My point is, this home is a one, two, three for a kitchen renovation, and I don't think one pouf of sawdust would escape. The existing kitchen is certainly not BAD — granite counters, limestone backsplash, that same terra-cotta floor tile and mahogany cabinets. The rest of the house really IS move-in ready. That's because the owner, darling
Phyllis Cole McKnight, opened up the living room to a stepdown main living area with huge fireplace. Off this room is the vast deck, where you can enjoy morning coffee, a glass of wine or entertain a bevy of girlfriends as she has so many times with colleagues from CultureMap and D Magazine. In fact, Jennifer Chininis at CultureMap got to this listing first — we both want to see McKnight have tremendous success with this home! There is a giant playroom off the kitchen and main living area, tucked into a wing of the house featuring a wet bar and storage. This room also opens to the deck, taking in the full breath of the view. On the other side of the main living area is the elevated study, loaded with built-ins and that
tile floor. All the other floors, save for the kitchen, are natural hardwood. Then there is the bedroom wing. Here is where the magic happens. Four bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms with fixtures in fun vintage 60s colors — powder blue and pink — a guest room with a renovated hall bath directly across and a knockedout new master suite. It overlooks the creek and features a stunning remodeled master bath with stone fireplace betwixt the windows. The master bath has a huge, marble-topped vanity; two vessel sinks with contemporary faucets; and a walk-in shower with rainfall head. No corners cut in this $80,000 room: the stone has been taken floor to ceiling.

The garage is in front from the circular drive. McKnight raised her three darling triplets in this home. This is where she brought them home from the hospital. Why is she leaving? The formerly single mom met her dream man last year, who surprised her with a wedding instead of an engagement party. We think Dr. McKnight is one lucky man, but we also think the next owner of 4224 Briar Creek Lane is getting a whole lot of good karma in this house. Great karma — we love it!

Mistake didn’t slow things down
By Wayne Swearingen
In 1962, the second tower, the 32-story FULICO Tower was opened at Pacific Avenue and Akard Street just as I came on board. I was soon placed in charge of all management and leasing. The two buildings are now known as the Mosaic, converted to apartments in 2006. The Mosaic name was for the blue tiles that run all the way to the top of the second building and started falling off shortly after opening.
These are some true stories from my early years in commercial real estate, 1962-68. Yes, it really happened. In 1962, not long after my active years in the Air Force, I applied for a job and was hired at Mayflower Investment Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity Union Life Insurance Company.

There are several parks for the more typical safari of the shooting or photography type. Each park charges a high daily rate to enter, around $150 a day, which supports environmental preservation. The Serengeti, which spreads across Kenya and Tanzania is very popular not only for safaris but also for the unique culture of the cattle-centered Masai Mara people who live there. Visit one of their villages. They charge an admission fee, around $25. They live
Typical lodges are about $400600 nightly. All lodges include meals, as there are no restaurants around. The ingredients are typically from gardens next to the kitchen. My trip to such a safari began with an hour plane ride from Nairobi’s domestic airport to a landing strip in the middle of nowhere. The hotel sent a Jeep to fetch and take me on the half-hour trip to the hotel. Along the way, we were shown water buffalo lounging in the river adjacent

If you are not familiar with the Czech pastries called koláčes (aka kolaches), chances are you’re not from Texas or have never driven the stretch of I-35 that runs past the small town of West, which is home to the Czech Stop, perhaps the most famous of the Czech bakeries. Also in West are the less wellknown (but just as ardently loved) Village Baking Co. and Slovacek’s. Just as BBQ fans argue about Smitty’s vs. Black’s vs. Kreuz market, kolache fans hold forth about their favorites and why all others are lesser.

Caramelized onions added a little sweetness, but the gravy on the dish was so salty it overpowered everything else. I’m not sure I’d come back for either of these. What I will return to Bohemian Café for are the pastries. Kolaches come in flavors both traditional (prune, apricot, cherry, cheese) and unusual (Nutella peanut butter and bacon, margherita, chocolate chip pecan pie). The dough is incredibly soft and just sweet enough, and the fillings are flavorful and not at all cloying. Klobasneks are a mix as well, with the standard sausage varieties sharing the case with unusual flavors such as chicken and waffles and BBQ brisket. They are all fantastic, and I’d say definitely give the stalwarts in West a run for their money. Service is friendly, if a little relaxed. We waited more than 20 minutes for our food on a Friday night when there was only one other table occupied. So obviously there are a few kinks to work out. But if Bohemian Café can bring the rest of the menu up to the level of those pastries, they might even turn Dallas into a kolache destination.

'Lady Bug, Lady Bug' spreads wings at CTD
By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
Playwright Mary Rohde Scudday said she has loved theater since second grade and has never considered any other profession. The 43-year veteran actress and playwright penned “Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly Away Home,” which opens Friday, June 26 and runs through July 19 at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas (CTD). The play is directed by Emily Scott Banks. “Lady Bug” was nominated by the American Critics’ Association as one of the 10 best new plays produced regionally in the late 1970s. The play was published in an anthology, “Texas Plays.” Scudday’s plays have been produced in a number of theaters and adapted for National Public Radio. She is the recipient of a Rockefeller

More circular story lines — not so linear.” Emily Scott Banks directs “Lady Bug.” Her other directing credits include “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “A Feminine Ending” for WaterTower Theater and “Gee’s Bend” for African American Repertory Theater. She appeared in CTD’s production of “Five Women Wearing the Same Dress.” Her other acting roles have included “A Country Life,” “Boeing-Boeing,” “A Most Dangerous Woman” and “The Normal Heart.” Banks has received numerous awards, including two DFW Critics’ Forum Awards and best actress of the year nods from DFW Critics' Forum Awards; TheaterJones and many others. The story is set in a small town beauty shop, not unlike
Dolly Parton’s salon in “Steel Magnolias.” The show had a successful run at Dallas Theater Center in 1978 — long before anyone had heard of “Steel Magnolias.” If that all sounds familiar, think Faye Lane, AKA Dallas’ Rhonda Faye Gunnels and her “Beauty Shop Stories,” which we covered here a while back. Bone shared her thoughts about the late Paul Baker of the Dallas Theater Center and how he impacted the city’s theater history. “Launching into pre-production for ‘Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly Away Home’ reminded me of just how many professional and educational theatre artists working in Dallas today can trace their roots back to Paul Baker and the Dallas Theater Center (DTC). There’s the obvious lineage of Dallas Children’s Theatre (DCT) run by his daughter, Robin
Flatt, with a special emphasis upon young audiences. But really, Baker’s theatrical family tree branched out to a host of other Performing Arts Organizations and Educational Institutions that still employ the students of Paul Baker and their students’ students today. Cindee Mayfield, who appears in the current cast is a former DCT student, as am I. Our Assistant Stage Manager, Annie Liskow, is a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts, which was founded by Paul Baker. Grace Loncar, who is on the crew, is a current student there.” “Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly Away Home,” will play at CTD June 26 through July 19.

Ephrons bring new meaning to opening up closet By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
If you’re not already familiar with the works of Delia and Nora Ephron, you’re in for what’s bound to be a clever, unique introduction to them in “Love, Loss and What I Wore” at the Dallas Theater Center’s Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre (DTC). The show has a short run Thursday, June 25 through Saturday, June 27. “Love” follows stories about women’s clothing’s nostalgic power. A rotating cast of five women enrobed in tasteful black sit on stools and tell funny stories that incorporate universal topics about their families and loved ones through the abyss that is their closets. Narrated by Gingy, a wise older woman reminisces about what she wore at milestones in her life, with a script that is like a long heart-toheart with girlfriends and sisters over coffee. The conversation meanders from story to story. A bittersweet entry is of a stepmother, who insults her stepchildren by wearing the same style bathrobe ANNIE cont'd from page 1 “Annie” inspired a radio show in 1930, with film adaptations by RKO in 1932, Paramount in 1938 and then the Broadway musical in 1977. The comic strip was cancelled June 13, 2010 after a mere nine decades. The book for the musical is by Thomas Meehan; music is by Charles Strouse, with lyrics by Lizo Gennaro will incorporates selections from her father, Peter Gennaro’s 1977 Tony Award-winning choreography. When “Annie” debuted on Broadway in 1977, audiences first heard the name Andrea McArdle, who played the coveted role of Annie, based on the comic strip, “Little Orphan Annie.” Here’s a buzz kill: McArdle is now 52. In that original production, the late Reid Shelton played Warbucks from its opening in 1977 through closing in 1983. The multiple awards winning show was produced at four New York theaters consecutively, with no down time in between for a total of 2,377 performances throughout the six years.

“Annie” has been performed in 28 languages and has been running somewhere around the world for 37 years. Warbucks’ money bag was passed to the iconic Albert Finney, when the film premiered in 1982, and a young lady named Aileen Quinn won hearts as Annie. Here’s another reality check: Aileen Quinn turns 44 this month. In the Dallas production at the Winspear, seasoned Daddy Warbucks, Gilgamesh Taggett will reprise the role he’s filled for two seasons in Cleveland, and he said he’s looking forward to connecting with Dallas and the warm, southern hospitality about which he’s heard so much. “Before realizing his affection for the orphan, Warbucks is a driven, successful billionaire,” Taggett said about his character. “Culturally, Warbucks’ transformation is important. He’s been hurt and doesn’t want to be vulnerable again, and he processes that with determination to be rich.” According to Taggett, Warbucks thought he had everything in the world but didn’t know he needed
ROOTS cont'd from page 1 believe our roots and connections to family are essential for support and growth. As we scatter about, we need to gather strength occasionally from those like ourselves who love us no matter what, unconditionally.” When Anna’s husband Chris died at 48, Anna was only 36. The widow raised six children on her own. She became a legend in her time as a businesswoman who ran the dairy business and then became successful in real estate development. Moser Scott said: “In that regard, Anna wasn’t only a U.S. and Dallas pioneer, she was by far liberated for her time. Anna could have kept her children home to help her run the dairy. Instead, she sent her three sons to Agriculture & Mechanical College of Texas (A&M), established in 1876, where tuition was $10 per semester. They all earned degrees, and some went on to earn post graduate degrees.” Charlotte Helen Moser of Washington D.C., who is also Chris and Anna Moser’s great granddaughter, said , “Anthropologists tell us that shared language and shared values are at the heart of community. When Chris [Moser] arrived alone in Dallas in 1874 at the age of 29, his only family functionally were his fellow countrymen. Assimilation into American culture is part of most immigrant stories in the country. And as it is today, education is the key to assimilation. “While Chris and Anna may have clung to their Swiss heritage,” Charlotte said, “there was no question about the national allegiance of the first generation of
the love of a child. “I love that about the character. His transformation is when he finds he’s vulnerable with Annie. He’ll do anything now, to get Annie everything she needs, not what he wants.” Taggett talked about how much he has enjoyed working with Issie Swickle as Annie in this production. The nineyear-old actress from Davie, Fla., is making her tour debut. “Touring with children is a blessing,” Taggett said. “Our lives are so transient.” Included in the 25-member company is Sunny, a four-year-old rescue terrier mix, who was trained as Sandy by Tony Award Honoree William Berloni. The unmistakable score for “Annie” includes “Maybe,” “Easy Street” and the iconic, “Tomorrow.” Audiences can look forward to big production numbers to “It’s A HardKnock Life” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed without a Smile.” “Annie” will run from Tuesday, June 23 through Sunday, July 5. Tickets are available online at attpac. org, or by phone at 214-880-0202.
Mosers born in America. The influence of military education at Texas A&M ensured that the three Moser sons were steeped in patriotism as the U.S. entered two world wars.” We spoke with Sister Margaret Ann Moser, who is President Emeritus of the Ursuline Academy in Dallas. Chris and Anna Buhrer Moser were her great grandparents. She said: “We’re all indebted to our great grandparents. They taught us the value of family, faith and education. Our work ethic is also a priority in the Moser family.” Sister Margaret told us that in addition to sending her three sons to college Anna also wanted her daughters educated. “She wanted Friéda, Matilda and Huldah educated, and sent them to Saint Mary’s College of Women, a two-year college on Ross Avenue across the street from the Mosers’ home, which opened in 1886 as a boarding school for privileged young women.” Sister Margaret’s mother, Margaret Murrin Moser will be 102 next month, distinguishing her as the most tenured of the family. “She raised all nine of us, sending us through Catholic School at Ursuline, Holy Trinity and Jesuit, and then to college for undergraduate and some graduate degrees,” Sister Margaret said. The story of the Moser and Buhrer families is not about cows, Aggies and real estate. It’s about pioneer families, who settled in Dallas in the 19th century with a profound work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit and drive. Paramount to their shared core values are family, faith, education and service. You only have to Google Anna Buhrer Moser, for starters, you immediately get 10 pages of links. As Sue Moser Scott put it, “We Swiss tend to go the extra mile.”
Wives.” Daisy Eagan is the youngest actress ever to win a Tony for her work in “The Secret Garden.” Concetta Tomei was named on Wednesday to replace the previous announced Joyce Van Patten, who had a death in the family. Tomei’s Broadway credits include “Cyrano de Bergerac” with Kevin Kline and “The Elephant Man” opposite David Bowie. Ashley Austin Morris, in addition to Off-Broadway credits, has appeared on television including, “The Good Wife,” “Desperate Housewives” and “Ugly Betty.” Nancy Giles, a contributor to the Peabody Award winning “CBS News Sunday Morning” since 2002, has had film roles with directors like Clint Eastwood, Mike Nichols and Woody Allen in films including, “Big” and “Working Girl.” Performances will be Thursday and Friday, June 25 and 26 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 27 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Be forewarned that this show may include some adult themes. Purchase tickets online at attpac.org or by phone at 214-880-0202.

Cecil Fielder. Fielder was a power-hitting first baseman and designated hitter primarily with the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees. His son Prince was born in 1984, and the elder Fielder played a key role in his son’s career, including representing him in contract
negotiations. Cecil became involved in gambling and left the family while Prince’s career was taking shape. The two didn’t speak for years. Today, as their relationship is rumored to be reestablishing, Prince is leading the Texas Rangers in hitting, having signed a nine-year, $214 million contract in 2012 with the Tigers and being traded to the Rangers in 2014 for Ian Kinsler.

This movie has all the elements of an indie drama that, when handled incorrectly, make for a schmaltzy, sympathy-laden trip to teen emo world. It’s as if director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon and screenwriter Jesse Andrews (who based his script on his own novel) set out to make a movie devoid of emotional manipulation. There are only a few short fleeting moments that seem like sympathy will win out, but GomezRejon and Andrews have their characters toss them aside as if to say to an audience, “We aren’t into this and we know you aren’t either.” The “Me” in the title is Greg (Thomas Mann), a selfinflicted social reject of sorts that believes the best way to get through life is to remain invisible yet simultaneously infiltrate all the social cliques that high school creates. His best friend (who he actually calls his co-worker) is “Earl” (RJ Cyler), whom Greg has known since kindergarten. Their “work” has consisted of making more than 40 films based on various art films on location in their hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa. Essentially, Greg and Earl are the Weird Al Yankovic of movies. Greg’s world gets thrown

RJ Cyler and Thomas Mann star in the funny, yet poignant "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl." out of whack when his hippie parents (a fantastic Nick Offerman and Connie Britton) insist he visit Rachel (Olivia Cooke). Rachel rounds out the characters in the title as she is “the Dying Girl,” having recently learned that she has stage IV leukemia. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” pulls no punches in revealing how selfish and socially bankrupt that Greg is as he worries only about how befriending someone who is most likely going to die will affect him. Fortunately, Rachel is fairly sick and tired of people telling her “it’s going to be okay” and she finds Greg’s backwards outlook somewhat refreshing. In fact, for the majority of the time they spend together,
her diagnosis is rarely discussed. They spend most of the time getting to know each other, as Greg (with the help of the much more well adjusted Earl) opens up his bizarre world to Rachel and she forces Greg to actually learn things about the people with whom he’s spent the last four years of his life. Not only does this movie avoid romantic flourish, it mocks it. Just when you think Greg and Rachel will share a moment, Gomez-Rejon and Andrews cleverly skewer it. It not only makes sense for their characters, it seems like a wink-wink parody of other awful high school love stories. There are several smaller parts for adults, with the aforementioned Offerman as an

strictly directed TV shows to this point, is a Michel Gondry Starter Kit. The script allows for him to be exceptionally creative with angles and unique camera shots. There are times when the camera pans sideways, showing everything horizontally that only adds to the uniqueness of the movie. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is a different teen movie experience. The kids don’t talk like adults or make adult decisions, which destroys the legitimacy of movies such as this one. Simply put, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is an honest look at the awful life experience of cancer and how people live, laugh and love their way through it.

eccentric sociology professor who is permanently clothed in Indian tunics. Molly Shannon is perfectly weird as the drunken, overwhelmed mom of a sick daughter and Jon Bernthal plays a tattooed, intense high school teacher that Greg and Earl hang out with in their free time. The key to all of this is the three main characters. RJ Cyler is a man of few words, but those words are either hilarious or poignant. He has a monologue towards the end of the movie that is worth the ticket price alone. Thomas Mann, who is in every single scene, is more than capable of carrying this movie. He’s extremely funny and once the time comes for the emotions to hit (which they do, like a ton of bricks),
Mann excels. He even manages to make nonstop self deprecation fully entertaining. If not for the subtle performance of Olivia Cooke, this movie tanks. She’s charming and relentlessly sweet, never soliciting pity in a highly sympathetic role. The on screen chemistry she shares with Mann is fantastic, as she balances out his self loathing with on-point realism. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is a meta-like experience. The aforementioned mocking of teen movies is on the surface, but the short films that Greg and Earl make are brilliant inside jokes that only the nerdiest of movie nerds will get.
