MUSICAL REVIEW

‘Dreams’ come true at Theater Center’s ‘Dreamgirls’

By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com

Exquisite costumes by Karen Perry couldn’t be flashier; Ricky Tripps’ choreography couldn’t be more thrilling; Michael Mitchell’s music can stand on its own; and under Joel Ferrell’s solid direction, “Dreamgirls” is “the stuff dreams are made of.” Running at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre through July 24, “Dreamgirls” is a dream brought to life by the Dallas Theater Center (DTC) featuring its Brierley Resident Acting Company.

The Brierley is recognized for delivering high caliber shows, and the company’s “Dreamgirls” is no exception. The level of talent comprising this show can make Dallasites and Texans feel quite confident in and proud of the city’s exceptional talent Photos by Karen Almond pool.

Kristen Bond, Alexis Sims and Traci Elaine Lee “Dreamgirls” is the story of three are the “Dreams” in “Dreamgirls” at the Dallas Theater Center. young singers, the “Dreams,” who

are hoping to be discovered in the cutthroat industry of music and recording, while enduring complicated internal and external drama as the group adds men to the mix. While cast members won’t confirm or deny that the story is loosely based on Diana Ross and the Supremes, patrons can surely see the resemblance to the Supremes’ stormy relationships. Derrick Davis’ interpretation of Curtis Taylor, Jr., a music promoter feels a lot like Motown Records maven, Barry Gordi.

Marisha Wallace brings an emotional interpretation of the fierce competitor Effie, who is desperate for love and acceptance. In her struggle, she shows vulnerability, as she always sees herself as a victim. Alexis Sims’ Deena is a standout vocally and is the beautiful Dream with whom Effie spars.

HISTORY ON THE TRAIL

Plaza of the Americas blazed Dallas development

By Wayne Swearingen

In the mid-1970s, I became acquainted with Clyde Jackson and Toddie Lee Wynne, Jr. Toddie’s American Liberty Oil had bought land on Pearl Street in downtown Dallas, and his young partner, Clyde, was helping assemble more land for a major development. Toddie and Clyde’s vision was to develop the first true mixed-use project in the Dallas CBD, including two office towers — hotel and retail. The centerpiece would be the indoor ice skating rink. The Houston Galleria had been a great success with the skating feature.

The crack development team had been assembled, including HKS as lead architect. Henry C. Beck had been picked as general contractor. Henry S. Miller Company was selected to lease the retail. I had great success

with the early leasing of 2001 Bryan Tower before starting The Swearingen Company. We were asked to make a pitch for office leasing. I had become familiar with a new term “Critical Path Method” used in construction, and had just completed reading a book on this. With my partners, we came up with a huge chart entitled “Critical Path Marketing Plan For Plaza Of The Americas.” The chart was more than 20 feet long on the wall of our presentation room.

It worked like a charm, and we incorporated the CPM in several major projects thereafter.

During the next few months, Clyde was busy traveling the world with a scale model, raising debt and equity.

Stan Richards came up with the Plaza of the Americas name.

Self-proclaimed nerd ‘feels the beat’ at DSM

By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com

Dallas native, Mandy Modic will “feel the beat of dancing feet” as she taps across Dallas Summer Musicals’ (DSM) stage this month in “42nd Street.” The production will open on June 28 for a two-week run through July 10. The actress describes her ensemble character as part of a line of prim and proper show girls: “I’ll be the nerd wearing glasses.”

The musical “42nd Street” is about Broadway, in front of and behind the curtain, stage left to stage right, inside out and upside down.

Everything goes wrong for her, putting her at the bottom of the callback list. Following a series of misadventures, Peggy is asked to understudy for the lead, an egomaniacal Dorothy Brock who breaks her ankle on opening night.

In 36 hours, Peggy learns 25 pages, six songs and ten dance numbers to prepare, eventually becoming the permanent star of the show.

This musical-within-a-musical is scored with old classics like, “We’re in The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway” and “I Only Have Eyes for You,” in addition to the perky theme, “42nd Street.” According to Modic,

the show is true to the original script in every way.

The 1980 Broadway production of “42nd Street” featured direction and choreography by the legendary Gower Champion and earned Tony awards for Best Musical and Best Choreography. The Broadway revival opened in 2001, earning Tony awards for Best Musical and Best Revival.

As a member of the show’s ensemble and understudy for one of the female leads, Dorothy Brock Modic said about her own background, “I was four when I first learned to dance. My mother wasn’t a bit happy see NERD on page 9

Picking up litter contagious

By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette

Seventy-five percent of people have admitted to littering in the past five years. Are you one of them?

Statistically, you probably are. Why do we litter? Psychology tells us littered places attract more trash. If we see trash on the ground, we are more likely to think it’s acceptable and drop our own. If we see others picking up trash, we are less likely to throw our trash on the ground. This is a situation where one person can start a rippling effect in a good diPhoto by Naima Montacer rection or in the opposite pollution Trash overflows from a bin on the Texas coastline. direction.

MULL IT OVER

Hoop-It-Up once a slam dunk

By David Mullen

Hoop-It-Up game in the West End, 1998. names comprised of all sexes, ages, ethnicities, heights and skill levels paid to play in the boiling Dallas heat over a weekend tournament. Most played for the social aspect and thousands of people would just come down to watch.

The West End was wall-to-wall makeshift basketball courts on the streets and parking lots. Murphy had made a financial commitment to purchase portable backboards and hoops. Stands lined Ross Avenue and beyond featuring food and drink, radio stations, various products and a misting station.

“Then I brought in sponsors like Nike and Gatorade, and banks and other sponsors,” Murphy said. “We slowly grew. The next year we had 25 events and then the next year we had 48. And when I sold the company in 2000, we were doing 302 events in 27 countries.” Finals were televised on ESPN and later NBC. Today, a much different version called “Hoop-It-Up” still exists, slated for Duncanville on Aug. 13-14.

Murphy’s career began in sales with Time, Inc., including stints with Life and Sports Illustrated. Still a basketball fan, Murphy was joyful about the Cleveland Cavaliers 2015-16 NBA Championship win over the Golden State Warriors. “I had moved to

Cleveland in 1970,” Murphy said. “I was one of the first Cavaliers season ticket holders!” The San Jose State alum also fondly remembers his college basketball career. “I scored a total of four points.

But two were at Berkeley!”

After more than a decade in Cleveland, Murphy moved to Dallas for Harte Hanks to expand their holdings. “Harte Hanks had a couple of hundred newspapers and their quota of radio and TV stations and they hired me to put them in the magazine business,” Murphy said. “They had bought two magazines, one called Radio and Records and the other called Fashion Showcase. Radio and Records was owned by two brothers: the [Robert and Tom] Kardashian brothers. Those guys reported to me. Isn’t that wild?”

A golf outing with Ray Hunt — who then owned D Magazine — took him to the publishing side of the Dallas monthly and the eventual development of one of Dallas’ premier street festivals. Today, Murphy is working on a novel. “It is a fictional love story/spy story,” Murphy said. But his novel idea of a basketball tournament in the streets of the West End lives on in Dallas lore.

david@katytrailweekly.com As Dallas takes to the streets for outdoor activities and festivals, it is hard not to recall an event that once dominated DFW. It was a four-man, three-on-three basketball tournament called Hoop-It-Up, and the man most associated with it was media professional and entrepreneur Terry Murphy.

Like a 20-foot jump shot, the rise and fall of the event goes up and down.

“In 1987, I was the publisher of D Magazine and Special Olympics came to me and said we are looking for a fundraiser,” Murphy, 75 years-old and living in Addison, said. “I had read a story about this three-on-three basketball tournament in remote Michigan.”

The Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament began in 1974 in Lowell, Mich. with 18 players vying for a purse of $18. The Gus Macker is still very much alive with competition in more than 75 cities with over 200,000 players.

“I said ‘We will call it ‘Hoop-DDo’ because of D Magazine,’” Murphy recalled. “And so we did it and with a week to go in registration we had 40 teams signed up. And then in the last week we got 448 more teams. So that was pretty wild.

“The next year we did it, we had 1,100 teams. I had announced that I was leaving D and was going to start my own company.” But the partnership between Special Olympics and the gregarious Murphy had soured. “I had a check ready for Special Olympics for $127,000, fired them as the charity and brought in Family Place,” Murphy said.

“And then I went out and tried to sell sponsorships,” Murphy said. “And it took me about ten months and I got Pepsi and Pizza Hut to come in for $1.1 million. And they said ‘We want to change the name.’ And I said ‘for a million bucks you can call it anything you want.’ They said ‘We want to call it Hoop-It-Up,’ and I said ‘Great, that is what we will call it.’”

The very first Pepsi/Pizza Hut Hoop-It-Up was in 1989 and had expanded to 18 cities. Teams with wacky

CENTER FOR VITAL LONGEVITY

Research Center of the University of Texas at Dallas houses scientists studying the cognitive neuroscience of aging.

By Sally Blanton

for excited and motivated individuals to join our team. The CNL at CVL is also looking for dedicated research assistants, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The Kennedy Neuroimaging of Aging and Cognition Lab has opportunities for inspired undergraduates who would like to volunteer in the lab.

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?

Scientific and medical advances have led to tremendous increases in longevity for our bodies. But these advances have not been matched by corresponding progress in the vitality of the aging brain.

Center for Vital Longevity (CVL) is here to change that. Scientists are discovering who will and will not age well cognitively and who might be at risk of Alzheimer’s disease long before symptoms appear. CVL is also expanding our knowledge of how memories are formed and retrieved and how these processes change with age. The CVL was founded in 2010 by Dr. Denise Park and currently led by Dr. Michael Rugg.

A

QW hat are your critical needs now, be-

sides money donations?

The discoveries being made would be impossible without volunteers to participate in the Center’s key research studies.

More than 1,000 people in the Metroplex have participated in research studies, including the Dallas Lifespan Brain Study. Other studies are investigating what causes age-related memory loss and whether computer training can improve memory and attention in both young and older adults.

A

QW hat is your facility like?

A The Center’s facilities are located in

Dallas. They include 30,000 square feet of research space including cognitive testing rooms and laboratories.

Q H ow do you utilize volunteers?

A Please visit us online to find out more

about the studies for which Center researchers are currently recruiting.

One lab, the Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory (CNL), is currently looking

Q Suppose your nonprofit received a

$20,000 check in the mail today … where would it immediately be put to good use?

A donation like that could help us create a Graduate Fellows Program to help attract qualified graduate students who contribute to the Center’s research.

Graduate students are a key part of the research activities at the Center, and many studies would not be possible without their contributions.

A

QW hat does the future hold for your

nonprofit?

The CVL is poised for growth with the potential addition of new faculty and new labs. With the rapidly aging population and longer lifespan, the number of people affected by cognitive decline will increase. Understanding how to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease by five years would cut diagnoses of the disease by half. The Center or various parts of it might also have a name. Naming opportunities are available at many levels of giving that will permanently associate the name of a foundation, corporation or individual donor – or that of a family member, friend or colleague, with the Center for Vital Longevity.

I had been impressed with the way Gerald Hines would build marketing centers for his major developments, so I pushed for this and we had built a full scale center just to the west of the project. In 1978, an elaborate ground breaking (called Ice Breaking) was held, and the clock started running with pressure on the leasing teams.

our office leasing, who, with his team, brought our efforts in ahead of schedule and above pro-forma rents.

For some time, office developers had been wrestling with using more sophisticated lease forms, which had new clauses that allowed landlords to recapture rising operating and tax costs, as well as power. Of course, New York was ahead of us on this, so I obtained clauses from my friends there, and with Clyde’s legal counsel, Robert Owens, a lease was designed.

Designing a lease is one thing.

Selling it to Dallas tenants was something else. We decided to jokingly call it a “Lump and a

The grand opening for Plaza of the Americas was in 1980. All the parts worked well together. There was one occasion when the “mixeduse” worked against us. A large tenant moving to Dallas allowed us to pitch Plaza of the Americas against several other buildings under way by that time. We highlighted all the retail, restaurants and the ice rink. Later we found that our competition sold the tenant that these were all distractions and that their workers would not be as

ocean every year. With every step you take, or every small piece of trash you pick up and throw away or recycle, your actions are influencing others to litter less.

A few more people picking up trash instead of dropping it may just influence the litter psychology of our society.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week will see things getting somewhat backed up for some individuals, though this needn’t be a serious obstacle when it comes to pursuing primary personal goals.

What we all must do, of course, is tend to things one at a time until the view ahead becomes clearer and it becomes possible to multitask and pay more attention to efficiency. In other words, prioritization is the key; the most pressing issues must be addressed and the most time-sensitive endeavors completed before other things can be tackled all at once. A creative approach can certainly prove beneficial, and anyone who is willing to try something new as a way of maximizing productivity is likely to have the advantage.

Those who have a major project waiting on the horizon will surely be most pressed. The need to get things done before heading off on that new adventure is absolute. This week, much is known; but next week — and the weeks following — may bring much that is unknown, so the docket must be cleared!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You’ll reach the halfway point, but that’s not far enough!

You’ll want to keep going and push yourself to the limit. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – Someone who shares your professional ambitions may suggest something outrageous – and you’re tempted to give it a try!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) It’s time to remind others that they must jump fully on board with you or get off the boat! You don’t need any hangers-on. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You’re working with someone who may not be up to the challenges you are facing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may find yourself looking back on a past experience and wishing that you could do things that way again. Perhaps you can! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Don’t spend too much time talking about what you are going to do; get out there and do it! Not everyone is willing to wait for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You’ll be introduced to something that has you rethinking what you are about.

Copyright 2016 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. This may force an issue with an old friend. (March 6-March 20) – You’re eager to see what lies in store for you in the professional arena, but first you must tend to a personal issue that will not go away.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) As you near the end of a certain project, you must work hard to keep your attention from diminishing. You must see this through! (April 5-April 19) – You may find yourself wondering what might have been, but you should be focusing on what can be before the week is out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Once you get started, you just can’t stop until you’ve reached your destination — or, at least, a satisfactory midpoint. (May 6-May 20) – Others are challenging you in a way that is not always as beneficial as you might have hoped. You may want to steer clear of some competitors.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You have much to say and only a certain amount of time in which to say it. Be sure your words are well chosen, efficient and powerful. (June 7-June 20) – Not everyone in your shoes would react to circumstances as you will. In fact, your response may be quite unusual.

This home is located at 17 Winding Lake Drive in Dallas and is listed for $1.75 million. for $1.75 million. Like his former Hollywood abode, it’s a clean-lined contemporary with sleek living areas and a floating staircase. Henry sold the home, a Quorum Builders design that sits in a gated subdivision near Preston Road and Forest Lane, back in 2010.

It doesn’t take much to see why this beautiful property was our High Caliber Home of the Week.

It’s easy to draw parallels between this home and Henry’s Hollywood abode. He definitely has a type!

“This stunning contemporary home defines excellence,” Stewart said. “Located in a private gated community, the home provides the ultimate in lock‐and‐leave luxury with the

convenience of a low maintenance lifestyle for today’s sophisticated home owner.”

Stewart hits the nail on the head — this is a wonderfully secure smart home with plenty of walls for your art and collections. There are four bedrooms, four full and two half baths, four living areas, three fireplaces and two dining areas inside this home’s more than 5,900 square feet.

For such a tidy footprint, this home packs a punch.

You also get plenty of outdoor entertaining space and a beautiful pool and spa.

HOA fees are $2,750 due semi-annually.

And while we love the floating staircase, note that this home is perfect for aging

“The gourmet kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, two dishwashers, quartz countertops, a wine refrigerator and an appliance garage,” Stewart notes.

We love the upgraded pendant fixtures, both in the kitchen and over the spacious wet bar in the den, which is just off the kitchen. It’s the perfect open floor plan for today’s casual entertaining, with friends and family gravitating to kitchens and family rooms.

“A Crestron whole‐house automation system controls lights and music via the Crestron app on your smartphone or tablet, Stewart noted.

“Likewise, an acoustically‐ treated media room serves up entertainment via the built-in projector and screen. Don’t miss the powered curtains when it’s showtime!”

Stewart also says that the backyard is perfect for entertaining, with multiple covered seating areas offering great views of the elegant temperature-controlled pool. A mosquito nix system ensures that evenings outdoors by the pool are spent pest‐free, he said.

Sounds like it’s time to grab a cocktail and jump in!

The kitchen would be a great place for a reflective surface, whether it’s mirrored or just glass. A backsplash made of mirrored tile would give an “infinity” feel to the room. For something unique that stands out, you might try mirrored or glass cabinets. Of course, don’t do all of these at once. Choose one that appeals to you most and roll with it as the standout-piece in the room or house.

You might actually have a mirror already installed and don’t want to go through the trouble of taking it down (maybe it won’t budge). There are easy ways for you to frame an already existing mirror and make it a feature rather than something you want to hide.

Back in the mid-90s, a small brewpub on Henderson called Yegua Creek brewed their own beer and served elevated versions of beer-friendly dishes like tacos, cheese boards and burgers. The craft beer boom had just begun and Dallas wasn’t quite ready to leave behind the familiar favorites, so Yegua, and the other microbreweries that popped up around the same time, did not make it.

Fast forward nearly 20 years, when it seems like a new local brewery is opening every week, with every local bar and restaurant on the local beer bandwagon, proudly serving brews from at least one of Photo by Sara Newberry them.

Cauliflower is the nonstarch, faux carb of the moment. Yes, that’s faux carb, not carb, and a key part of the paleo eating style; lean protein and vegetables but no potatoes or rice. The round part, i.e. the Dotty Griffith head of the vegetable, has become a popular standin for dishes that normally carry the gravy or sauce. Coarsely or finely chopped cauliflower disguised as rice or grits takes the spot on the plate normally filled by the other white foods.

Chef Danyele McPherson, executive chef of Remedy and HG Sply Co. on Lower Greenville, whomps up her cauliflower grits with poblano chiles, garlic, white wine and coconut milk for creaminess. The recipe is vegan, gluten and dairyfree, a three-fer on the healthful eating scale.

On the menu, The True Grit Bowl includes slices of grilled steak, poblano chile cauliflower grits and sautéed rainbow chard with mushrooms, caramelized onion and herb salad.

A base of Poblano Chile-Cauliflower Grits.

Place cashews in a single layer in a skillet or sheet pan and toast in oven until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

When cashews are cool, combine toasted cashews and 3/4 cup water in a blender container. Process until smooth. Do not strain this mixture. Reserve for later use.

In a small saucepan over medium high heat, sauté the poblanos in the olive oil until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir often as you want to soften, not caramelize or brown the chiles. Add the green onion and cook until the white parts have softened, another minute or two. Add 1 tablespoon garlic and cook a minute or until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Add white wine, stirring to combine, and cook 2 to 3 minutes at a low boil to burn off the alcohol. Add pulsed cauliflower florets. Stir to mix well and add 1 teaspoon salt, coconut milk and cashew-water blend.

Cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and the cauliflower looks like the texture of cooked grits. It should not be watery.

If cauliflower grits are too thick, thin with a bit of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic and fresh ground black pepper. Blend completely and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately or cool and reheat later.

To reheat cauliflower grits, add water a little at a time so that it can be absorbed into the grits as they heat to serving temperature.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

MOVIE TRAILER

McConaughey misfires in big budget ‘Free State of Jones’

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

With “Free State of Jones,” “The McConaissance” has hit its first bump in the road. The wheels haven’t completely flown off of this historic drama, but they are a bit wobbly and aren’t exactly being sold as advertised.

In fact, when word gets out that there are more thrills and action in a weekend Civil War reenactment, it’s going to be difficult for this movie to make any returns on its $65 million budget.

Director and screenwriter Gary Ross doesn’t seem to know what kind of movie he wanted to make. There’s nothing wrong with telling a historic story with only a few moments of action, but “Free State of Jones” is put together like a documentary, complete with real still photos and text detailing the Civil War timeline. There’s also very little character development, which only leaves a viewer horrified by what they’ve seen without a real emotional investment in who it is happening to.

Photos courtesy of STX Entertainment

Matthew McConaughey leads the charge through the plodding film “Free State of Jones.”

“Free State of Jones” begins in 1862 during the Battle of Corinth in which Newton Knight (Matthew McConaughey) was a medic.

Events during the battle and the revolting “20 Slave Law” become quite enough for Newt and he deserts the Confederate army, returning home to his wife, Serena (Keri Russell).

Newt is eventually

tracked down for desertion, and after stopping Confederate soldiers from raiding a neighboring farm, he escapes to the swamps of Jones County, Miss. He joins a camp of escaped slaves, who are led by Moses Washington (Mahershala Ali). Newt also meets Rachel (Gugu MbathaRaw) and after learning his wife has abandoned their

farm, he begins a controversial relationship with her.

With an almost two and a half hour runtime, one would think that Newt’s army of deserters and escaped slaves trying to push Confederate forces out of Jones County would be more than enough story to keep “Free State of Jones” moving. However, out of nowhere, Ross moves the

story ahead 80 years and into a Mississippi courtroom. It’s an effort to show just how long that deep-seated racism went on in Mississippi, and its initial vagueness is meant to keep you in suspense, but it’s so poorly constructed and hamfisted into the movie that it’s easy to see where it is going.

When the fighting stops, “Free State of Jones” grinds to a halt. The final third is a snooze with only one tragic moment having any emotional impact. The movie also falls victim to having what seems like three or four endings.

One of the biggest problems with Ross’ screenplay is the two women in Newt’s life are reduced to ogling, bit players with no ability to help themselves. It has taken two talented actresses in Keri Russell and Gugu Mbatha-Raw and given them nothing to do.

Mahershala Ali, known to most as the slick talking Remy from “House of Cards,” has the largest character arc as he grows from illiterate, freed slave to voter registration activist. He’s a seriously talented actor and

the scenes he shares with McConaughey’s Newt are the highlights of the entire movie.

Matthew McConaughey, as he’s done for the last five years, gives “Free State of Jones” his all, but the pace and story drag him down.

Nobody acting today does righteous troublemaker quite as well as he does and his conviction regarding the role of Newton is clear. This is also the first time that his real life, personal bathing habits benefit his role as he is perpetually covered in dirt.

Fortunately, “Free State of Jones” smartly avoids the tiresome trap of “white man shows up to save the black man.” The story, while not shying away from the grotesque history of slavery, has an overall message of equality and people keeping the things they have earned. This is a story that should be loaded with heart, but it becomes a procedural march to the end. It’s unfortunate that an extremely important, timely and relevant message regarding the history of the United States is lost in the delivery.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES

No ‘Bravos’ for ‘Real Housewives of Dallas’

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net Season One of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Dallas (RHOD)” limped to a close Sunday night with a tacked-on Ed Bark “supersized” reunion show marked by Cary Deuber’s constant sobbing, conniving “friend” Marie Reyes taking an all-around verbal lashing and wacky LeeAnne Locken asking Deuber’s admittedly “metrosexual” hubby Mark whether he needed a tampon.

As noted previously, “RHOD” wound up being by far the leastwatched of eight spinoffs from the Orange County-set birth of the “Housewives” franchise in 2006. That show returned for Season 11 Monday in place of “RHOD,” whose prospects for a second season are cloudy at best as of this writing. If the thing does return, expect some major casting changes after the poop-and-fart-centric Season One cast stunk up the joint.

Here’s the perplexing thing, though. Dallas birthed the modern day steamy, conniving serial primetime soap with the mega-successful

TRAVEL

“Dallas,” which ran from 1978 to 1991 on CBS and recently had a three-season reboot on TNT. But on the more or less unscripted “reality” series front, prime-time shows with Dallas in the title have come up both lame and short-lived.

Even Hagman’s narration couldn’t save The Learning Channel’s (hah!) “Sheer Dallas,” which premiered in 2005 and lasted all of six episodes. Its denizens included beyond gaudy minister/socialite Dee Simmons, whose grand stage was the “Sultan Meets Queen Elizabeth” wedding she threw for her daughter.

In a promo clip for the show, realtor Carolyn Shamis trilled that “everything is big in Dallas. The girls’ hair, the diamonds, the houses.” In that same clip, a cheeky salon stylist agreed that “women’s hair is more important than open-heart surgery, because they can’t see their heart.”

Let’s move on to another big flop, 2009’s “Dallas Divas & Daughters,” which ran for one season and eight episodes on Bravo. The grouping of wealthy socialites and their spoiled daughters was headed by Pamela Martin Duarte and her daughter, Hannah. Episodes mercifully were only a half-hour in length.

Bravo took another shot in 2011 with “Most Eligible Dallas,” which also got canceled after just one season.

Six posers comprised the central cast, with creature-comforted Drew Ginsburg setting the table by proclaiming in the premiere hour, “Everyone in Dallas tends to be self-centered and shallow.”

Everyone then did their level best to prove him right, including self-described “slave to vanity” Matt Nordgren, a former Bishop Lynch High School quarterback who went on to be Vince Young’s backup during the Texas Longhorns’ 2005 championship season. Not to be outdone, blonde, buxom and vacuous Tara Harper proclaimed, “Blonde hair. Blue eyes. Big boobs. I am 100 percent a Dallas girl.”

Back to you, Matt, whose practice of rounding up harems for a night on the town made perfect sense in his view. “Why do one on one,” he reasoned, “when you can do one on three? Why do one on three when you can do one on five? Why do one on five when you can grab one buddy and do two on 15?”

Oddly enough, the only show of this ilk to gain any real traction was

Launched just a month before “Most Eligible Dallas,” The Style Network’s “Big Rich Texas” likewise was filmed in DFW. But it managed to last a whole three seasons with its pairings of rich mamas and their entitled daughters.

The 34 episodes of “Big Rich Texas” had secondary titles ranging from “Brawling Beauty Queens” to “Texas Throwdown” to “Texas Shootout” to “Texas Millionaire Manhunt” to “Cowboy Crazy.” But the word “Dallas” never crept into view.

Maybe that’s the answer then.

Keep Dallas on the down-low for any future “reality” shows originating from these parts. Better to rope ‘em in with titles like “Everything’s Bigger in — Waxahachie.” Or “I’m Neiman. He’s Marcus.” Or perhaps even “The Real Housewives of Pleasant Grove.” Because unless it’s the fictional Ewings, “Dallas” just ain’t workin’.

Zip lining over troubled waters in Peruvian Amazon

Visiting the Amazon isn’t so much about the extreme activities you do as it is about

conquering your self-imposed fears and limitations. In reality, unless you specifically want to camp among dangerous animals, the activities partaken by most Amazon visitors aren’t particularly challenging

MUSICAL REVIEW

Serrecchia creates a ‘perfect match’ in Garland Summer Musicals

By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com

“Theater is more than entertainment; it is a vehicle for social change and growth,” said Michael Serrecchia, current director of “Fiddler on the Roof” at Garland Summer Musicals (GSM). This is the first of two productions of this summer’s GSM season. The show runs through June 26, with performances this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

If you’re new to “Fiddler on the Roof,” the story is about an Orthodox Jewish family living in a small town in Russia, Anatevka. The Russian population is less than generous to share their country with the Jewish population.

What ensues is pure “tradition.”

Topol, Herschel Bernardi and Zero Mostel have two things in common. Each is known for his iconic role of Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof,” and each has great big boots to fill. As the family’s patriarch, Tevye, Randy Pearlman has all the gestures and nuances down pat. He might have been more authentic with the local dialect.

Nonetheless, he was very effective in the role.

Matriarch Golde is the traditional wife and mother of the times. Serrecchia added, “Together the Mama and Papa bring a heavy sense of history.”

“Tradition” is of utmost importance to Tevye, who finds himself challenged by his and Golde’s three oldest daughters. Each brings a new way of thinking about marriage, which is hard for Tevye to accept. “He eventually exhibits love, tolerance and acceptance, in various degrees,” Serrecchia said.

As Golde, Noelle Mason is a standout. She portrays Mama with authenticity, right down to DREAMGIRLS cont'd from page 1 Robinson is a huge presence in a tiny body. As one of the “Dreams,” she’s entangled in the drama between two of the group’s competitive singers, Deena and Effie, each of whom wants to stand out.

Complicated love affairs and marriages are the backdrop to the story about close friendship, toxic relationships and what happens when you combine boyfriends and husbands with your professional life.

Lorrell is pivotal in neutralizing decompression.

The tension increases as the women form relationships with the men of the story, who are also highly competitive on both a personal and professional basis. Along the way, Bond shows a quick wit with great comic timing.

A music and dance graduate of DISD’s Booker T. Washington High School for the Visual and Performing Arts (Booker T.), Bond grew up in Oak Cliff and studied dance at Tyler Junior College and musical theater at the Kim Dawson Studio Actors’ Conservatory.

She has also danced as a member of the Dallas Black Dance NERD cont'd from page 1

Her strong vocals demonstrate the power she has inside. Golde adheres to Tevye’s wishes, but she also expresses her own with lyrics like, “May the Lord protect and defend you. May He always shield you from shame.”

Andi Allen does Yenta proud with her blathering and determination to get all five of Golde’s daughters married off despite their ages.

Joey Donoian creates his own wacky persona as Motel, the tailor, with what seems like

Company II. Theatrically, Bond has credits throughout the Metroplex including Echo Theatre, at which she choreographed and appeared in Echo’s “Her Song.” For WaterTower Theatre, she co-choreographed with Akin Babatunde. More of her acting credits are with Jubilee Theatre; Lyric Stage and Theatre Three. She appeared in last year’s DTC production of “Stagger Lee.” It should be noted that Bond’s Mom, Yolanda, was transfixed throughout Friday night’s performance. The best way to describe her is with the Yiddish term “kvel.” It’s about beaming with pride, plus.

Yolanda was kvelling about her daughter, with a huge smile on her face, while Bond’s 5-year-old daughter, Talia, was thrilled to see her mother and then fell fast asleep.

Bond is trained in music, dance, acting and singing.

While at Booker T., she was part of the Lab Singers and the African Dance Ensemble.

She added, “School at Booker T. taught me to be fearless and to trust the artist inside of me. Playing Lorrell has been extremely exciting and truly a wonderful experience. Lorrell

exhaustive energy. It gets him lots of laughs.

As Lazar Wolf, Neil Rogers is in a category in himself. He’s convincing as both the harsh butcher, who obviously already had issues with Tevye, and the promised husband, full of hope and generosity. Rogers is skilled at switching between the two with finesse. In future productions of this show, Rogers would be an ideal Tevye.

Amanda Brown is sensational as FrumaSarah, Lazar Wolf ’s first wife, when she comes to Tevye in a dream. It takes six people to operate

her 18 ft. tall character, who is dressed in 68 yards of fabric. It took many hours to build her dress and four hours of full technical rehearsal to perfect her performance in it. Brown is nothing short of amazing. Michael Robinson and Suzi Cranford of Dallas Costume Shoppe are to be congratulated again for their usual brilliant costume design.

According to Serrecchia, the fiddler is a symbol of change; Tevye’s cart represents tradition. But then came Orlando’s senseless tragedy.

The director said, “The parallels were frightening … I was struck by the tension and hate that existed between the Jews and the Russians, ultimately resulting in the Jewish expulsion from their homes. And death on a massive scale.”

The director added, “What happened in Orlando [was] the targeting of a group of people who are different. The senseless act of cruelty and hate.”

Serrecchia wants patrons to take away the tough questions about the parallel between Anatevka and recent tragedy in Orlando: “How is this different? How can we heal? What can we learn from this?”

Despite his pain and broken heart, Tevye learns to tolerate and accept his daughters’ unorthodox choices, but he never questions their mutual love.

Performances will be Friday, June 24 and 25, with both evening and matinee performances.

The second and final show of GSM’s season, “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” will open July 22 and run through July 31, with performances July 22, 28, 29 and 30 at 8 p.m, and 2:30 p.m. matinees July 24 and July 31.

is funny, hopeful, spunky and full of life. She wants to love and be loved. Our personalities are definitely a lot alike,” the petite actress said.

Bond said her best experience so far would be “Stagger Lee” at DTC. She commented, “The story and the energy from the cast inspired me to continue following my dreams and listening to my heart.”

She said about another great experience: “When I played Francesca in Lyric Stage’s ‘West Side Story,’ I was directed by Grover Dale, Snowboy in the original cast Clinton Greenspan, Derrick Davis, and Eric LaJuan Summers. of ‘West Side Story.’”

The triple-threat added, “I knew I wanted to dance at 7 years old when I started dancing in church, but it wasn’t until I was 20 years old when I saw my first live musical. Seeing the ‘Full Monty,’ directed by Michael Serrecchia at Theater Three was the moment I fell in love with musical theater” Bond said.

Kristen Bond is another example of the high caliber of talent, who live and trained in Dallas.

“Dreamgirls” continues at the Wyly Theater through July 24. For information and ticket information, visit dallastheatercenter.org.
