house on the Square. Band leader Watson is a touch more chill than Stevie Ray, but the local bluesman has gained some charisma and a feel for chemistry since his debut. His most recent recording, Live in Fort Worth, TX, rocks harder than it rolls and unloads Watson’s considerable guitar heat, thanks to a blistering brass section.

irst things first: Last week we inadvertently omitted Trinity Presbyterian Church from our mention of the Interfaith National Day of Prayer service. Trinity Presbyterian has long been an agent of reconciliation in Denton’s faith landscape. (Did you know the church has an ongoing Christian-Muslim dialogue, a series of get-togethers between Trinity members and those of the Islamic Society of Denton?) Good on this modest-sized Presbyterian church for building bridges instead of stoking resentments and fear, and good on the Denton Islamic Society for its ongoing outreach after the post-9/11 firebombing of Texas’ oldest mosque. These things take courage and faith. … Denton music duo Wise Ruby got one of its songs, “Love,” picked up for the trailer of the upcoming season finale of the CW’s popular TV series The Vampire Diaries. … The cast of Music Theatre of Denton’s The Wedding Singer halted the Sunday matinee to assure the audience that the Campus Theatre is one of the safest buildings to be in downtown if there is a tornado. After a tornado warning, house manager Adam Reese said they halted the show at the end of a song, brought the cast and crew onto the stage and had the audience stay seated. After about 15 minutes, the company and audience took a five-minute break and then the show went on. … Speaking of Sunday’s tornado, Denton Record-Chronicle photographer David Minton noticed while driving around finding storm damage that Lindsey Street is spelled two different ways: At Interstate 35E at McCormick Street it’s Lindsey Street. But across the interstate, at Bernard Street near the feeder road, it’s “Lindsy.” … Macaroni Island, another of Denton’s residential music venues, will present its final house show on Nov. 14. Tenant and music lover Michael Briggs announced

that he’ll have to vacate the house on Houston Place, which will be changing ownership. Briggs plans to continue his in-house studio, Civil Recording. But only time will tell if Briggs launches another house show venue in Denton. … In March, McMath Middle School sixth-grade teacher Kelli Hauser made a frame-by-frame remake of the Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars music video “Uptown Funk” to pep up her students for the state’s STAAR exams in March. As of Wednesday, Lady Hauza’s video had been viewed 650,550 times. That’s a number of YouTube hits that local bands and hip-hop artists dream of. … Warren Hooper, owner of Oxide Gallery and floral design shop, has announced that the gallery part of his business is no longer. Hooper said there was no want for art, but a dearth of collector traffic to Denton to see and buy it. “I had hoped to transition Oxide into a nomad-style gallery and take our artists on the road to get them in front of the art collectors of North Texas,” Hooper wrote in a mass email to artists and promoters, “but as time has gone on I find myself too busy with my flower shop to be able to hold shows out of town.” Hooper didn’t close the door on the possibility of reviving the local art endeavor, but he doesn’t plan on reopening the gallery “in any form for the foreseeable future.” … Dalton Domino, a Lubbock musical hellraiser of the Southern rock-Red Dirt variety, has moved to Denton to “sew some new roots” (his words). The musician told his Facebook followers that he “spent a lot of time here in high school sneaking into bars. It’s good to be back.” … So Andy’s Bar finally has a website that isn’t a complete useless disaster. Check out andys.bar, and pray that this lasts. This latest development leaves Hailey’s Club as the one major music venue with an online calendar that doesn’t list all the shows it has coming up. … Junebug is not a nickname. Denton photographer Junebug Clark was born with the name. It’s on his birth certificate and came from an uncle named Junebug. UNT on the Square will feature a photography exhibit of images shot by Junebug and his father, Joe Clark, starting June 1. Denton Dammit is an old-fashioned gossip column about people, places and things in and around Denton. Send your submissions to Lucinda Breeding at cbreeding@dentonrc.com.

Neon icon H

ouston hip-hop artist and muckraker Riff Raff (yep, that’s the blueeyed, blond rapper who sports all the accoutrements of the form — braids, decorative facial hair shaving, sharp-tooth grillz) will stop by Denton in all his neon glory. Riff Raff is probably best known for his controversial Instagram account and his wildly popular Vines, but he’s produced some bangers — “Tip Toe Wing in My Jawdinz,” “Dolce &

Riff Raff brings trap songs, bangers to town

Gabbana” and “Rap Game James Franco.” He’s been accused of being a flash-in-thepan kind of parody, but Riff Raff’s Neon Icon album earned an entry in the hip-hop bible, XXL. His show is tonight at Rockin’ Rodeo, and the bill is stacked with Dallas and Denton openers. Monocle Inc. and Bickett Entertainment have lined up a full show of regional hip-hop and DJ talent. Rising Dallas star and producer Blue, the Misfit

will do a set, as will Denton rap hustlers Fab Deuce and Whoa. Irvine, California, producer Elijah Heaps is a Denton transplant, and Positive Hyy is one of the many acts incubating in Denton. DJ Boogie spins during the show. Doors open at 8 p.m. Rockin’ Rodeo is at 1009 Ave. C. Tickets cost $25 for general admission, $100 for VIP status.

The tables get turned in Artisan Children’s Theater’s new

musical. The youth outreach of Artisan Center Theater in Hurst is presenting The Three Little Wolves & the Big Bad Pig, a musical based on the popular book of the same title by Eugene Trivizas. The children’s show flips the script on the familiar story about the Big Bad Wolf and a trio of pigs. The musical is about three little wolves who go out into the world and build themselves a house. Their mother warns them to beware the big bad pig — he’s more cunning than he appears. Young performers take on the roles for audiences. The musical is suitable for toddlers and elementary school children.

No ‘Trouble’ here: The Artisan Center Theater in Hurst opens Meredith

Wilson’s The Music Man on May 22. Con man Professor Harold Hill frightens the citizens of River City, Iowa, about the lack of fun for children (they might grow up to be — gasp! — pool sharks). Hill has the antidote to the muchfeared idle hands: city marching band instruments. But is he really a music teacher? And will Harold Hill’s growing romance with Marian the Librarian save him from his own tall tales? The family musical features some of the best-loved numbers of musical theater: “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Ya Got Trouble” and “’Til There Was You.”

Gail Cope bends rules, uses layers in multimedia art

T

he Greater Denton Arts Council opens “Simply Complex: Works by Gail Williamson Cope” with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday in the Gough Gallery at the Patterson-Appleton Center for the Visual Arts, 400 E. Hickory St. Cope’s show is presented by the Texas Woman’s University Office of Alumni Relations. Cope earned her master’s degree in art from TWU. The exhibit features Cope’s mixed-media paintings, which build on simple forms, such as dots and dashes to create full-scale works. The painter uses simple forms, but that doesn’t render her work simple. Cope references iconic art work — both representational and abstract. Cope uses color, complex patterns, puzzling perspectives, and a deliberate breaking of the rules of composition to invite the viewer to seek the embedded symbols within the overlapping layers. The exhibit runs through June 28. Gallery hours are 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. — Staff report

COVER STORY

Ties that bind By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com

D

enton native Regina Rogers started out looking for a small venue for her wedding. “We’d been looking for a place to get married,” Rogers said. She and her fiance, Jim Lawrence, first thought they could have a small ceremony in Regina’s parents’ backyard. “It wasn’t big enough,” Rogers said. She and her mom took to Google and found the Country Abbey in Justin. “Justin has a special place in my heart,” Rogers said. “My grandmother is buried over there. We used to go to Justin all the time. We’d visit my grandmother there. I grew up playing along that part of Oliver Creek.” Rogers’ mother, Jean Pennington Rogers, remembered a newspaper article about the Country Abbey. The small wedding chapel and reception hall was where Jean Rogers used to go to Sunday services when it was Justin Baptist Church. But before it was the church, the site was home to Pennington College, a preparatory school founded by Regina’s great-uncle, “Doc.” Dr. William Henry Pennington opened the school in 1898. The school closed in 1913. There isn’t a record of why it closed, but by about 1948, public schools in North Texas were beginning to consolidate. The Country Abbey’s frame and foundation are original to Pennington College. The school was given to the Baptist church in 1914, where generations of Justin’s faithful worshipped until Naomi Niederer bought the property from the congregation. Niederer said the Country Abbey has drawn quite a few members of the Baptist church. “Actually, we had a wedding on May 3, and the bride was the sixth member of her family from the Baptist church to get married there,” she said. “The photographer took a picture of all the people who’d married in the chapel from the church who were there.” Niederer has carefully kept the history of the Abbey, and includes a one-page version of it in her marketing materials. Rogers, though, See WEDDING on 10 Denton resident Regina Rogers and her fiance, Jim Lawrence, will marry later this month at the Country Abbey in Justin. David Minton/DRC

Couple to wed on site that was once part of bride’s ancestral land

Wedding is the first bride to have a true ancestral tie to the space itself. “Local residents have given me pieces of the history,” Niederer said. “I keep track of it because people ask me about the building all the time.” The history recalls a time when the church was a community hub, and a simple meeting place. “Old-timers recall when the church consisted of just the present chapel from the last pew forward,” the history says. “Long curtains hung from wires strung across the ceiling and were pulled shut to divide the room into sections for Sunday school.” The history paints a quaint picture of a modest meeting house, where a pot-belly wood burning stove sat in the middle of the room, giving too much heat to church members on the closest pews and too little to the stragglers who sat far away. “My mom remembers that,” Rogers said. “She remembers the stove. She remembers where the Sunday school was at, and being there at church with my grandmother.” The college and church predated air conditioning, and the faithful Baptists who braved worship during the hot Texas summers considered the tall chapel windows a merciful relief when they opened to admit a breeze. When World War II came, the church bell had been left out on the church grounds, in need of repair. When military officers came calling for scrap metal for the cause, church members couldn’t bear to part with the neglected bell, and it stayed with the church. After studying the Country Abbey’s website, Rogers visited the site with her mother. “As soon as we saw it, I knew this is where I needed to have my wedding,” she said. “There wasn’t any place else to do it.” The chapel is picturesque, with pews that seat up to 200 and an altar for wedding parties to gather for ceremonies. The reception hall is a simple room of round tables, chairs, a kitchen area and room for a band or DJ. There are dressing rooms for the bride and the groom.

About 50 people will gather at the chapel to celebrate Rogers’ marriage to Lawrence. The couple first met back in the 1990s. “We went on a date, and it went well,” Rogers said. “Afterward, he called me to let me know his mother had died, and that he had to deal with that. But he said he’d like to call me after he got all that settled.” That call never came. Both Rogers and Lawrence each married someone else and life went on. Both of their marriages ended, and the couple found each other on social media. They’ve dated for the last two years. Lawrence has a son and a daughter, and Rogers, who has no children of her own, said she looks forward to gaining a blended family. There wasn’t any big mystery surrounding the couple’s first illfated attempt at love. “It turns out that I didn’t hear from him because he lost my number,” Rogers said. “Yeah, he said he kind of kicked himself over it.” She doesn’t gush about her fiance. “I love him because he’s got a good sense of humor, and he’s good to me,” she said. The wedding will be small and simple. About 50 guests are expected. Rogers’ parents and her older brother, Keith, will attend along with family from as far as Colorado. Rogers will wear a champagne-colored gown, and carry a bouquet of teal and coral roses with burlap accents. After the wedding, she and Lawrence plan to honeymoon on an Alaskan cruise before they come back to Denton. Niederer said she’s booked a lot of weddings in the space. The total is somewhere “in the high hundreds,” she said. While she also books private parties and corporate events in the chapel, the bread and butter of her business is weddings. After Rogers booked the chapel, Niederer had a plaque made that commemorates the chapel’s history as both Pennington College and Justin Baptist Church. “I thought it would be nice to put it outside, where people can see it during receptions when it’s nice out,” Niederer said. “I think it’s just lovely,” Rogers said. “I feel really fortunate to be able to have my wedding there.”

The moments are few and infrequent, but it’s not until the fiery roar of the engines and the thrashing of the guitars are suddenly stripped away that you can fully feel how deeply the film has flooded your being. The theater — and your heart — pulsates with the lack as you recover and wait for more. It’s in the silences that director George Miller’s singular genius becomes evident, and for good reason: It’s the only time the film allows you to breathe. Thirty years after Miller gave the world Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, he’s returned to his own post-apocalyptic world and created an exceptional, fearless and poetic masterpiece that’s primed to become a modern classic. In this anarchic world, Max Rocka-

tansky (Tom Hardy) is a lone wolf. As he tells us in the prologue, he’s a man whose past traumas have reduced him to a single instinct: survival. Max’s only humanity seems to be in his haunting visions of a child asking for protection. Otherwise, he’s gone full animal. As Max, Hardy doesn’t so much speak. He grunts and growls and scurries for freedom. But Max quickly gets entangled with others when the warlords of the wasteland put a fish hook in his neck and strap him on as a hood ornament to chase after the rogue Furiosa (Charlize Theron). She’s managed to escape the Citadel in a powerful, lumbering War Rig with the wives of their tyrannical leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also played Toecutter in Mad Max). Much of the film is spent with the women, and eventually Max, on the rig as they race across the desert away from the painted fighters on their tail. Furiosa, seeking redemption for untold sins, has made it her purpose to bring the wives to “the green place” — an idyllic haven she was taken from as a child.

The wives, played by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee, Courtney Eaton and Zoe Kravitz, are all ethereal, spiritual beauties. Although physically perfect and visibly unmarked by the harsh conditions of the land, as Immortan Joe’s property, their collective trauma is more insidious. When they fight back and jump in to help their more grizzled and skilled travel mates, they do so without fear or hesitation. Looking almost sturdy in comparison, it is Theron who steals the show as the steely-eyed, one-armed, and aptly named Furiosa. Her fierce and unwavering commitment to her self-assigned mission propels the sparse narrative and invigorates those around her, when death often seems like not just the easier option, but probably the more appealing one, too. Painted and scarred to the point of disguise, Nicholas Hoult is also a standout as Nux, an unlucky, but endearingly devoted Immortan Joe foot soldier. Ultimately, Mad Max: Fury Road is almost aggressively anti-character, though. The dialogue is beautifully lean

and purposeful, allowing what does exist to have maximum impact. For Theron and Hardy, their triumphant performances are is in their eyes. In the end, it is the bright, fresh visuals juxtaposed with the impressively choreographed and always surprising action and pacing that make the film. Cinematographer John Seale (The English Patient) has infused the barren landscape with a feast of striking, saturated colors, while Miller has made a two-hour race across the desert into a truly riveting must-see and see again. As we drive full speed into another summer (and half-decade) of sequels and interconnected universes, Miller has reminded us that blockbusters have the potential to not only be art, but radically visionary — even the fourth in a series. What a lovely day, indeed.
