anielle Longueville and Kate Vance said this weekend’s “Pretopia: The Gear Up” is meant to be an appetizer to prepare its audience for the third annual staging of Oaktopia, an art, music and culture festival on Sept. 25-26 in downtown Denton. “The lineup is all bands that will be playing Oaktopia,” Vance said. The pop-up mini-fest is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. Saturday behind Bullseye Bike Shop, 530 S. Locust St. (But should the predicted rains come on Saturday, Vance and Longueville said they’ll postpone the event for Saturday, June 5.) Drop in on Pretopia and you’ll get a sample of Oaktopia: music, a food truck, art and a bike scavenger hunt. And it wouldn’t be Denton without some affection for biking. Longueville said Oaktopia has groomed itself to be Dentoncentric over the last two years. About 80 percent of the music is by local bands and artists — lots of Denton folks, some from Dallas and Fort Worth — and 20 percent of the music by national acts on the cusp of stardom. Last year, Immortal Technique headlined a festival that championed hip-hop, but bent a knee to good old rock ’n’ roll, too. “Oaktopia is a local festival,” Vance said. “It’s done for locals by locals.” Def Rain, the electronic project of Grant Ring and Dentonturned-Dallas artist Ashley Cromeens, headlines the event, with punk-ska band Informant, doom-disco act Felt & Fur and the angular rock sounds of Telemegasounds mixing it up on stage. Longueville said the minifest is the first of several that are meant to bump up Oaktopia’s brand. “This is the first daytime Pretopia we’ve done,” she said. “The last two years, we did a bunch of house shows and late nights, and they were great. But as Oaktopia gets bigger, we have to be careful.”

House shows are too small for the number of RSVPs the event has earned on social media, and Vance and Longueville said the capsule festival on more public grounds help the volunteers who make Pretopia events (and Oaktopia) happen easier to manage. Attendees should bring their
own lawn chairs and some cash to spread around the event. The accompanying “Lil’ D Bike Scavenger Hunt” gathers at 3 p.m. at the University of North Texas Language Building, 108 Ave. A. Cyclists will hunt for clues and then ride to the bike shop to take in music, waffles and screen printing.

Pete Kelly leads a reading of the one-act play “Peace on Earth” at her home Tuesday in preperation for the Method & Madness festival this weekend. David Minton/ DRC
Theater of the mind Fresh ideas at forefront of new play festival, contest
By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com
The Method & Madness New Play Competition and Festival is a no-frills affair that is as long on theater as it is short on spectacle. Denton Community Theatre started the annual playwriting festival to nurture emerging talent and to explore mental health and the human condition. Tom Kelly is the coordinator of the fourth annual festival, and he said the contest has unearthed local talent. “Three of the six winners are local — Jeff Peters of Denton, Steve Young of Dallas and Kurt Hyde of Corinth,” Kelly said. The community theater’s play reading committee reads
the submissions along with readers selected from the community — and this year, the plays came from as far away as Israel. “All of the plays are short, all of them one-acts,” Kelly said. “They have to be staged within 50 minutes. The winning plays get cash prizes.” The winning work gets a $2,000 prize, the second-place play gets $1,000 and third place wins $500. The fourth-place winner leaves the contest with $300, and fifth place earns $200. Established directors have taken each of the top-ranked plays and formed it into a staged reading. “It’s not a full-blown production,” Kelly said. “There are no costumes, no special lighting or
coordinated scene changes. But the directors guide actors so that the plays kind of take shape there in front of the audience.” Three plays will be performed on Friday, and the remaining three will be performed on Saturday. Performances start at 7 p.m. each night at the PointBank Black Box Theatre, 318 E. Hickory St. The top five winning plays will be followed with an informal talk-back between the audience and the producers. Tickets cost $5 for individual productions, or $20 for a festival pass. For reservations, visit http://bit.ly/1d0ziSx. Tickets and passes can also be purchased starting at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the theater. The festival is suitable for ages 15 and older.
2015 METHOD & MADNESS PLAYS The Primal Scream, first-place winner Mother knows she has a special gift for helping people, even when they don’t know they need it. Her daughter, a therapist, has been known to mumble about her mother’s gift being “meddling.” Could a mid-morning cup of coffee turn into something primal? By Joan Anderson and Dorothy Sanders. Directed by Sherri Small Ansley. Neighbors, second place Max and Veronica are failing to love one another. Gil and Blossom, a spying pair of neighbors, makes an unannounced visit that might bring the pair together again. By Walt Vail. Directed by Bryan Patrick. Peace on Earth, third place British and German troops facing each other in battle call for a truce for Christmas in 1914. By Kurt Hyde. Directed by Pete Kelly. The Millstone’s Mantel Clock, fourth place Charlie, Sweetie Pie and Mabel Millstone live out on a little road in the Texas Hill Country with a neighbor, Mrs. Miller, and her son Billy, who has autism. When a Bible salesman shows up and wrongs the Millers, the Millstones help make amends. By Jeff Peters. Directed by Paul Meltzer. The Last Cigar, fifth place It’s the final night in the life of Sigmund Freud. With his daughter, Anna and his private physician, Max Schur, at his side, the cancer-stricken psychiatrist fights for his right to die. By Steven Young. Director to be announced. First Do No Harm Single mom Ethel meets a stranger while she works her first shift at an event in Providence, New York. An interaction gives her hope — and possibly companionship.

tant when natural disaster strikes: the life and death of a human. (You are lying if you can say you weren’t having a panic attack when Aunt Meg was thought to be crushed along with her house in Twister.) San Andreas gives each character mentioned above enough time and development that we care if they live — or are just aching for that moment for others not discussed to die. Then there’s the action, and hoo boy, it’s a spectacle. Most natural disaster movies are dated because the effects age so badly. San Andreas is a movie with careful CGI that will still look powerful as the years go by. There are some moments in San Andreas that are predictable, implausible and outright impossible. But this is entertainment, and we would not have movies without the suspension of disbelief. (If you can believe a

The convention, which will take pla this weekend at the Dallas Conventi Center, will include appearances by cele rities like Nathan Fillion (Firefly) and L James (Cinderella) as well as comic bo artists, writers and enthusiasts. Ma people, however, like to take their fando a step further by indulging in cosplay, costume play, stepping into the shoes some of the greatest heroes and heroin of any number of fantastic worlds. Penny Johnson, a Lewisville nati who now lives in Palmer, has been a stap of the cosplay scene for nearly two yea As a volunteer in community theat throughout North Texas, Johnson beg to see a connection between the two ec systems. “Cosplay to me is an extension of th theater bug I have,” she said. “I love dress up and I love to act. Basically, I lo entertaining people.” Johnson said she is a bona fide D Comics fan, and has been since Ada West and Burt Ward donned the clas Batman and Robin costumes. But in world of Green Lanterns, Supermen a Batpeople, she has always found hers infatuated with Catwoman. “I fell in love,” she said. “She was bea tiful, smart, manipulative and a cat.” Johnson said she grew up with seve asthma, so she looked to Catwoman a hero and role model. So, when decidi on her first cosplay character, Catwom was the obvious choice, citing Seli Kyle’s appearance in The Dark Knig Rises as her inspiration. After piecing gether her costume from finds on eB she was hooked, and will be continui the Catwoman tradition this weekend. “I’m wearing Julie Newmar Catwom an on Sunday for a solo photo-op with A am West and Burt Ward.

Ray (Dwayne Johnson) and Emma (Carla Gugino) survey earthquake damage in “San Andreas.”
No-fault action By Chase Whale Film Critic
When natural disaster strikes, call The Rock. There was a time when natural disaster movies tried hard — The Poseidon Adventure (1972), When Worlds Collide (1953), The Towering Inferno (1974) — and then Michael Bay ruined everything with that damn silly animal cracker scene in Armageddon. There are times, however, when a natural disaster movie isn’t labeled “a natural disaster movie” — Lars von Trier’s poignant Melancholia and James Cameron’s epic Titanic are two great examples — and critics along with movie lovers admire the beauty in the destruction. After two decades of being target practice for critics, the genre seemed like it might be forever relegated to forgettable plots and dated special effects. Or maybe not. Consider San Andreas, a new end-of-the-
world movie starring Dwayne Johnson as Ray, a rescue-chopper pilot who goes on a suicide mission to find his daughter (True Detective’s Alexandra Daddario) through the destruction and mayhem caused by the biggest earthquake recorded in history. Yep, this natural disaster is totally San Andreas’ fault. Its tectonic plates shift hard and heavy and turn San Francisco into one giant tombstone covered in debris. This earthquake isn’t out to scare a few folks, it’s out to destroy and kill everything is possibly can. The only way to survive is to not get crushed by wreckage bigger and heavier than you. Carla Gugino (Sin City) is in the movie as Ray’s soon-to-be ex-wife, and the forever great Paul Giamatti (Sideways) costars as a scientist who discovers how to predict earthquakes. Kylie Minogue makes a very brief appearance to feed us an

important part of the story but disappears for the rest of the film when she selfishly tries to escape one of the many earthquake moments by opening the wrong door. If a natural disaster strikes in your ’hood, chances are you’re going to die, so at least go out with some dignity and help someone. Or, don’t and be the greedy person forever known as the one who fell painfully 20-plus stories out of a building because she was looking out for No. 1. Choice is yours.

FAN EXPO 2015
Cosplay term came from Takahashi’s impression of costumed fans and introduced the term in the following month’s issue of My Anime, a Japanese magazine. Though Johnson is seasoned in the costume play world, Denton resident Olivia Norine is just getting started. After visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Florida and seeing the props for sale, she was inspired and motivated to make her own. “I figured I had the sewing machine that was collecting dust so I should justify the expense of buying it,” said Norine, who teaches music at Lewisville ISD’s Donald Elementary School. After constructing a full set of Slytherin and Gryffindor House robes for her and her husband, John, she waited for the perfect time to show them off. When Fan Expo was announced and Norine and her husband had the weekend off, she said the stars aligned. “I’ll have the Slytherin House robes on, and then I’ll be Jem

mance theater and cosplay, and she enjoys seeing peoples’ reactions much like audiences in a theater. Like Johnson, the Norines are active in Denton theater. John Norine has worked as the music director for a number of shows in Denton’s communi-

ty theater scene, and Olivia has sung a number of roles on the local stage. “One time I went to work as the Witch and I did the full green bit and had a long black wig and robe,” she said. “My students would take a double take and say, ‘Why do you look like that?’ and I would say, ‘What? What are you looking at?’” Though cosplay gives Norine a chance to combine her skills as a teacher, performer and professional, she said the best part about it is just letting go and acting like a kid again.

Sci-fi, horror, music, album covers, tattoos, and fetish art have been influenced by Giger’s dark, intricate paintings and sculptures depicting birth, death and sex. The 95-minute documentary is an intimate look at the last years of the artist’s life, and how deeply he resided within his own artistic visions.
Magnolia at the Modern, a series featuring critically acclaimed films at the museum, will screen Dark Star at 6 and 8 p.m. Friday, 5 p.m. Saturday and noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets cost $9, or $7 for Modern members or $6 for Reel People. The noon Sunday screening is half-price. Advance sales begin two hours prior to each show. — Lucinda Breeding
San Andreas
Statham can lead a movie solo to box-office gold, but Johnson still needs a supporting cast. That’s OK, though, because Johnson has two things Statham doesn’t have and probably never will: charisma and humor. Johnson has pulled out the charm and self-mockery in a number of his meathead roles to show he’s having one hell of a good time. (Go watch Pain and Gain, Southland Tales or Tooth
Fairy.) In San Andreas, he has to keep his serious face on, but there are scenes with heart that Johnson pulls off in a way no other action star can. That versatility is why his audience loves him. Natural disaster movies as of late have been a target of mockery because it’s either too unbelievable, too silly or too crashand-smash.
It’s 2015 and time for natural disaster movies to look and feel like they were once upon a time — real and scary. With a big beating heart behind all the mayhem, San Andreas just might be the beginning of this much-needed change. CHASE WHALE is a member of the Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association.
