Wee little Knights of Ni are we Company serves up silly ‘Spamalot’ with all the fixings

By Lucinda Breeding Staff Writer cbreeding@dentonrc.com

usic Theatre of Denton serves up Monty Python’s Spamalot with all the trimmings — silly sight gags, dry and lowbrow English humor, and coconutshell hoof beats — this weekend.

Monty Python was an English surrealist comedy sketch group that hit it big in Britain and the U.S. The group’s television series, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, debuted in North America in 1970 and maintained its popularity here through the 1980s and beyond, thanks to the series’ syndication and the films Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) and Life of

M

Brian (1979), a movie that lampooned the New Testament in much the same way Holy Grail lampooned the grand British legend of King Arthur.

“The musical is inspired by Holy Grail, with references to some of Monty Python’s beloved sketches,” local director Bill Kirkley said.

Spamalot won’t be lost on those uninitiated into the cult of Monty Python. People who love Broadway musicals are bound to enjoy the very meta show, said Brynne Huffman, who sings the role of the Lady in the Lake.

“Honestly, I think the show is spot-on,” Huffman said. “The musical references all things musical theater. It deals with divas, it makes fun of those numbers that are in every single major musical,” such as the romantic duet between the hero and the heroine.

Like the artists who created the musical, Spamalot takes aim

MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT What: Music Theatre of Denton presents the musical by Eric Idle and John Du Prez When: 7:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday, and March 7-8; and 2 p.m. Sunday and March 9 Where: The Campus Theatre, 214 W. Hickory St. Details: Tickets cost $20 for adults, $18 for ages 62 and up and $10 for students and children. For tickets, visit the website or call 940-382-1915.

at the revered Arthurian mythology. The comic creators make light of a “system of government” coming from “strange women lying in ponds.” Even the great symbol of Christian valor and British military might — the sword Excalibur — seems delightfully limp in the musical.

Kirkley has lined up established and new talent to play the not-so-noble Knights of the Round Table. Eric Ryan plays the skittish Sir Robin. Kevin Wickersham plays the doddering Sir Bedevere, designer of Trojan rabbits. Sterling Gafford plays Sir Galahad. Jake Smith plays the role of Sir Lancelot, Bryan Patrick plays the put-upon Patsy and Ted Minette plays the role of Arthur.

During their search for the Holy Grail — the cup Arthur’s Lord and Savior drank from at the Last Supper — the knights encounter snooty French royalty and the dreaded Knights who say “Ni.” The knights also meet Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter and a French taunter.

Audiences might have to arm-wrestle to settle the question of which is sillier, Monty Python’s imagining of the Arthurian legend, or the larger-than-life conventions of musical theater.

Where: The Spellcaster, 2014 Northwood Terrace Cover: $10 suggested donation

played feral Classically trained Nilles pelts keys with punk attitude

By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com

here’s something a little Edith Piaf about Stephanie Nilles’ voice, and something a little unpredictable.

Set against the artist’s piano playing, Nilles’ voice is trembling thing. The classically trained New Orleans musician treats her keyboard the way Steve Albini treats a guitar.

Which is to say that Nilles (pronounced “nil-less”) conjures something more than music from her instrument.

She scrambles a microcosm of the human condition out of it — harsh tones and sweet resolutions. On songs such as “Transistor,” she beats the keys into a frenzy, but it’s not nonsense — there’s form and rhythm, just delivered with punk rock attitude.

Denton has a chance to see Nilles on Friday night at the Spellcaster, one of many house show venues in town.

“I actually get a thrill having the venues be surprises,” said Nilles, 30. “That’s one of the things I love about my job. One night I’ll be in a jazz place where

New Orleans musician Stephanie Nilles plays a house show in Denton on Friday night.

Charles Mingus used to play, and after the show’s over, the people will sit down and drink wine and talk about Charles Mingus.”

The next night, Nilles might find herself in a smoky bar or a private living room.

Nilles doesn’t call herself a straight-up jazz pianist. Rather, she borrows jazz improvisation during shows, dabbling in the harmonics and syncopation in a way that honors the form.

The pomp and drama never leave Nilles’ music completely.

She grew up studying piano and cello.

“Singing came much later,” said Nilles, who is doing a oneweek tour with Robert Sarazin Blake, the headliner for Friday’s show at the Spellcaster. “I really didn’t try to sing at all until I was about 17 years old.”

Nilles was studying classical music in college. At the same

time, she started writing narratives.

“I started doing some slam poetry,” she said. “And that got me started with trying things in the moment in front of an audience. I think any time you take a classical musician, and you sit down and say, ‘now play something in C4,’ they freeze. They are so accustomed to playing the repertoire that all classical musicians play.

“I just started checking out the open mic scene in New York, and that was a good move for me, because in that scene, everyone is really supportive, and they are kind of like, ‘Let's focus on something positive.’”

The mix of classical depth and live improvisation clicked for Nilles.

“I think it ended up being something in my personality,” she said. “I am not the kind of person who can sit in a room for

eight hours and then have a few engagements.”

Barrelhouse is a tag Nilles embraces because it hitches wild tavern piano music with the singers who established early jazz from the 1880s through 1930 or so. Think Jelly Roll Morton, Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith.

“It’s the music that came from places that weren’t respectable, and the musicians who made the music were making it around the prostitutes and the whorehouses,” she said. “It wasn’t pretty, but they made a living.”

Barrelhouse jazz represents the need to make music, consequences be damned, something Nilles said she’s explored in New Orleans.

“You can hang out with punk guys and indie guys, but you’ll never get in as much trouble as you can with jazz musicians,”

Nilles said.

Before she landed in New Orleans, Nilles spent some time in the anti-folk movement in New York City. Anti-folk musicians challenged what they saw as the neutering of folk. Nilles and her peers felt folk music was being watered down to a simple formula of three-minute acoustic songs with a singer who doesn’t cuss and certainly doesn’t get political.

Nilles doesn’t shy away from politics. In fact, her song “Occupy” is a condemnation of middle-class criticism of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and eventually, a protest all its own against hollow demonstration.

If you want the world to be different, Nilles says, you have to live differently.

She can just as easily play a mazurka, a Polish folk dance that sounds a bit like a waltz — or perhaps a rondeau that’s been reframed with earthier materials. And whether she’s punking it up or playing it classical, Nilles gives herself over to it.

Now, she’s exploring forms without creating crossover.

“There are a lot of people do a lot of classical crossover, I think,” Nilles said. “Some of that’s definitely scraping for different ways to pull people in. When the message doesn’t match the content, I have a problem with that. I’ll do an original piece and maybe turn around and play a short classical piece.”

OPENING FRIDAY Non-Stop (★★1⁄2) U.S. air marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a drinker and a smoker, a sad-eyed man who doesn’t like to fly, in this solid, workmanlike action picture that builds slowly. Somebody is threatening the 150 passengers and crew on Marks’ cellphone, and framing Marks with the dirty work to his superiors back on the ground. In the wee hours of this red eye from New York to London, that first text arrives on his “secure” phone: “In exactly 20 minutes, I’m going to kill someone on this plane.” Marks may have had a nip from a bottle before boarding, but he’s sharp enough to observe and profile every face on the plane.

Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra does a little better by Neeson here than he managed with the identitytheft thriller Unknown. But tension is in short supply as we lurch toward the film’s lulu of a finale. With Julianne Moore, Michelle Dockery and Linus Roache. Rated PG-13, 104 minutes. — McClatchy-Tribune News Service Omar (★★★) This Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film follows a young Palestinian man, Omar (Adam Bakri), as he falls in league with a terrorist whose sister, Nadia (Leem Lubany), he wants to marry. But in his first terrorist act, Omar is captured by Israelis, who then use the young man as a double agent to trap Nadia’s brother. Writerdirector Hany Abu-Assad creates a perilous situation and then sustains it with heightened tension. Not rated, 96 minutes. At the Angelika Dallas and Plano. — Boo Allen Son of God A film portraying the life of Jesus, from birth through his preaching, crucifixion and resurrection. With Diogo Morgado, Greg Hicks and Adrian Schiller. Written by Nic Young. Directed by Christopher Spencer. Rated PG-13, 138 minutes. — Los Angeles Times

NOW PLAYING About Last Night Two couples navigate the ups and downs of modern love and romance in this remake of the 1986 film of the same name. With Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant. Directed

umphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman star in the 1942 classic Casablanca. Turner Classic Movies is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a free screening of the classic Casablanca in 20 cities, and Dallas is among them. Director Michael Curtiz’s wartime romance screens at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Angelika Dallas, 5321 E. Mockingbird Lane. In the movie, Rick (Bogart) owns a nightclub and gets involved in smuggling refugees out of Vichy-controlled Casablanca. Ilsa (Bergman) is the one who got away from Rick, and is trying to escape the Nazis with her husband (Paul Henreid). Casablanca earned eight Academy Award nominations, and won for best picture, best director and best screenplay.

H

Bale), who in 1978, began running scams with his partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams). Busted by an FBI agent (Bradley Cooper), the two then help trap politicians. High-energy scenes combine with bad hair and worse costumes for a wild ride.

Jennifer Lawrence burns up the screen as Irving’s unstable wife.

Rated R, 138 minutes. — B.A. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues — Super-sized R-Rated Version (★★★1⁄2) This alternate cut of last year’s film includes more than 700 new jokes. Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) gets fired from his job hosting a morning show, but opportunity comes in the form of a new 24-hour news channel. Burgundy heads for New York, stopping to gather the old news team from San Diego (David Koechner, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell). With Christina Applegate, James Marsden and Kristen Wiig.

Rated R, 143 minutes. — The Associated Press Endless Love A privileged young woman and a charismatic young man

spark an intense but star-crossed love affair in this remake of the 1981 movie of the same name. With Alex Pettyfer, Gabriella Wilde and Robert Patrick.

Directed and co-written by Shana Feste (Country Strong). PG-13, 105 minutes. — LAT Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (★★1⁄2) In this Jack Ryan reboot, Chris Pine takes over as Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst. Inspired by Sept. 11, Ryan joins the Marines and is heroically injured in Afghanistan. During his recovery, he meets his eventual fiancee (Keira Knightley) and is lured to the CIA by a mysterious recruiter (Kevin Costner).

Director-actor Kenneth Branagh endows his film with (mostly) oldfashioned competency but little to distinguish it from superior thrillers that have come before. Rated PG-13, 105 minutes. — AP The Lego Movie (★★★★) There are so many things to like about The Lego Movie: a great voice cast, clever dialogue and a handsome blend of stop-motion and CGI animation that feels lovingly retro, while still looking

sharp in 21st-century 3-D. Set in a world built entirely of Legos, the story revolves around construction worker Emmet Brickowski (voice of Chris Pratt), who must join forces with a group of rebels to stop the evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell). With the voices of Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett. Rated PG, 94 minutes. — The Washington Post Lone Survivor (★★1⁄2) Mark Wahlberg stars in this true story of four Navy SEALS in Afghanistan in 2005 on a mission to find and eliminate a Taliban leader. When the squad is reduced to one (hence the title), he finds refuge in an unlikely place. The standard action flick accentuates the bravery of the squad, but co-writer and director Peter Berg never raises his film beyond routine adventure material. With Eric Bana, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster and Taylor Kitsch. Rated R, 121 minutes. — B.A. The Monuments Men (★★) George Clooney stars in this World

Texas inventor Tim Jenison, right, adjusts a wig on model Graham Toms in “Tim’s Vermeer.” The documentary captures Jenison’s quest to figure out how Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer painted his luminous works.

Let’s go Dutch

Film tries to crack mystery of Vermeer’s techniques

By Boo Allen

Tim’s Vermeer

Film Critic booa@att.net

Turn a couple of skeptics loose with a camera and a harebrained theory and the result might be something like Tim’s Vermeer, an engaging new documentary from magicians Penn and Teller. The duo uses no sleight-of-hand, however, in their quest to uncover how the 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer created his striking masterpieces, filled with luminous details created by his famous “painting with light.”

The theory examined by director Teller (he’s the silent one) and his producing, narrating and writing partner Penn Jillette gained momentum with British artist David Hockney and artist and scholar Philip Steadman.

Their theory then takes root with San Antonio-based inventor Tim Jenison, and together they explain their belief that Vermeer took advantage of thencurrent technological devices, such as the camera obscura, which might have then given way to the use of various optics.

Fortunately for this film, Je-

Rated PG-13, 80 minutes.

Opens Friday at the Angelika Plano and the Magnolia in Dallas.

Tim Jenison makes a painting of a photograph of his father-inlaw using his invention, the “comparator mirror,” in the documentary “Tim’s Vermeer.” nison has enough personal wealth to allow him the expense and time to travel to Vermeer’s Holland for research and to England to talk to Hockney and Steadman, as well as dropping

in on the queen (not seen) for a private viewing of Vermeer’s The Music Lesson.

Back in Texas, Jenison takes months to recreate Vermeer’s room, mix the paints like Ver-

meer did, and even manufacture his own optic lens. Once ready, he spends more agonizing months to paint The Music Lesson, using the techniques they all believe Vermeer used. The Dutch painter was revered for his striking, realistic paintings that introduced light in ways that had never been done before.

The process is a tedious one, made cinematically palatable by Teller’s short-hand storytelling and by an acknowledged need to keep his film relatively brief.

Eventually, it becomes a question of who had greater patience, Jenison or Vermeer?

The final product may, or may not, persuade skeptics, but Penn and Teller have provided further discussion by asserting that an artist is not “cheating” when using what is simply at his disposal.

War II drama that he also directed and co-wrote, with Grant Heslov, from Robert Edsel and Bret Witter’s nonfiction book. Clooney heads a team of aging art experts who identify and then attempt to recover art treasures stolen by the Nazis. Segmented film never gathers momentum but plods along with little building dramatic engagement. The fine cast includes Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin and Hugh Bonneville. Rated PG-13, 118 minutes. — B.A. Philomena (★★★1⁄2) In director Stephen Frears’ film, Judi Dench plays the title character, an Irish woman who decides to try and find the son she lost to adoption 50 years ago, when he was snatched away by nuns.

Infuriating but at times inspirational film captures the pain of loss suffered by a mother. Based on the book by Martin Sixsmith, played here by Steve Coogan. Rated R, 98 minutes. — B.A. Pompeii In the year 79 A.D., a slave turned unstoppable gladiator races against time to save his true love from a corrupt Roman senator and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. With Kit Harington, Emily Browning and Carrie-Anne Moss. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Rated PG-13, 105 minutes. — LAT RoboCop (★★1⁄2) Director Jose Padilha’s remake of the 1987 film of the same name delivers plenty of mayhem and action. Joel Kinnaman stars as a Detroit detective blown up by a car bomb only to be reincarnated as the titular crime-fighting robotic cop. Abbie Cornish plays his wife, and Michael Keaton goes over-the-top as a corporate villain. With Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. Rated PG-13, 118 minutes. — B.A. That Awkward Moment (★★1⁄2) This chatty romantic comedy in the modern mode — rude, nude and crude — has some funny, writerly riffs on relationships and how to avoid them. But the movie, like star Zac Efron and writer-director Tom Gormican, never lets us forget that it’s trying too hard. Efron, Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now) and Michael B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station) play three New York pals who vow, when one is dumped by his wife, to stay single and enjoy the mingling. Which all of them ignore. Rated R, 94 minutes. — MCT 3 Days to Kill (★★★) Kevin Costner and director McG are plunged into the madcap mayhem of Luc Besson’s script in 3 Days to Kill, a serio-comic thriller about mortality, murder for hire and fatherhood. Costner is Ethan, a veteran CIA agent diagnosed with cancer. But his new control agent, a vamp named ViVi (Amber Heard), wants him to finish one last massacre — taking out a nuclear arms dealer and his associates in Paris. The carrot? She has an experimental drug that might give Ethan longer to live.

And that could mean more time with his estranged wife (Connie Nielsen) and daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). Daft and sloppy as it is, 3 Days rarely fails to entertain. — MCT

Throw me something, mister! You can’t celebrate Fat Tuesday without shiny purple, gold and green beads. Come get yours at Mardi Gras on Walnut in downtown Denton on Friday night.

Walnut Street gets taken over by Mardi Gras revelers on Friday night

By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com

aren Meredith said the time has come to throw a bigger Mardi Gras party than the bash her downtown bar and grill, Sweetwater, has hosted for the last five years.

“For a while now, Mardi Gras has been an event that I’ve done with the Vintage Jazz Society on the patio here at Sweetwater,” Meredith said. “A lot of the Main Street merchants have wanted to make it a bigger deal. I think the city got tired of hearing us talk about it.”

The result: Mardi Gras on Walnut, a free, family-friendly party on Friday night.

Meredith said the city saw an opportunity in having a local Mardi Gras party fanning out from the patio of Sweetwater Grill & Tavern: The event could give the city more information on the possibility of converting Walnut Street into a pedestrian strip, making it off-limits to vehicles.

K

“They told us, ‘Show us what you can do,’” Meredith said. “So this is a party and a dry run of possibly closing Walnut. As it is, Walnut is mostly our delivery alley.”

Mardi Gras is a party flowing with rich food, drink and spectacle to mark the end of Epiphany and the last hurrah before Lent, the Christian season of fasting, prayer and discipline leading up to Easter. South America and Europe celebrate Carnival, and the most famous North American observance is in New Orleans.

Sweetwater has been one of Denton’s most reliable downtown venues for live jazz, and the city isn’t hurting for Dixieland jazz.

“It’s always been a good event for Sweetwater,” Meredith said. “It’s always one of our biggest sales events.”

For Friday, more than a dozen booths will offer Denton Community Market shopping, face painting, mask-making and Cajun-style food, including boiled crawfish, etouffee, Louisiana meat pies,

MARDI GRAS ON WALNUT When: 5 to 11 p.m. Friday Where: 100 block of Walnut Street, just south of the Square Details: The free event is for all ages.

Wristbands will be required to purchase alcohol. Walnut Street will be closed to vehicles. Free parking is available in the lot across Elm Street from Sweetwater Grill & Tavern. Proceeds benefit Music Theatre of Denton, a nonprofit volunteer theater organization.

beignets and Mardi Gras-inspired ice cream sundaes. Beth Marie’s Old-Fashioned Ice Cream & Soda Fountain will scoop ice cream bearing names such as King Cake, Bourbon Street and Wobbly Monkey.

Jugglers from the local group Juggling & Flow Arts, dancers and other street performers will add a unique Denton flair to the celebration. In cooperation with this event, select downtown businesses

will extend their hours.

The Mardi Gras contests — masks, costumes and mini-wagon floats — are for adults and children. (Wagon floats are decorated, pullable wagons or carts no longer than 6 feet in length. Contestants should decorate in New Orleans style.)

Local businesses are supplying “krewes” — groups that participate in Mardi Gras and Carnival parades, usually in lavish costumes and floats.

Live Dixieland music starts up on the outdoor main stage at 7 p.m., in the center of Walnut Street, with Ron & the Rowdies, followed by Le Not So Hot Klub du Denton performing gypsy jazz, and Woody’s Rampage performing zydeco.

The block will be open for dancing until 11 p.m.

Inside Sweetwater, at the corner of Walnut and Elm Street, Dixieland jazz will fire up at 6:30 p.m., with Strictly Dixie, Vintage Jazz Society and the Fat See MARDI GRAS on 10

Mardi Gras Tuesday Dixieland Jazz Jam. Inside the Abbey Underground, at the corner of Walnut and Locust Street, the Boxcar Bandits take the stage at 10 p.m.

Ken Willis, co-owner of Beth Marie’s, said he thinks the party will go off without a hitch and will show both city officials and locals how beneficial it would be to turn Walnut Street in a sort of pedestrian promenade.

“There are so many things going on,” Willis said. “We’ve got Thin Line, Day of the Dead, Arts, Antiques & Autos. We could have stuff going on out here on Walnut, easy. And it could be good for the downtown businesses.”

Le Not So Hot Klub du Denton will bring its hot jazz to an outdoor stage on Walnut Street for Friday’s Mardi Gras on Walnut.
