2016 College Town Film Series Kicks Off Thursday, Jan. 28 “Future Shock” is the theme of the 2016 College Town Film Series at downtown Macon’s Douglass Theater, hosted by Middle Georgia State University, Mercer University and Wesleyan College. Art and literature often help us to imagine life in times to come. Films are especially adept at immersing us in the sights and sounds of prospective worlds. This year’s College Town Film series presents three movies that shock us into looking ahead to the future. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016, Tom Ellington of Wesleyan College will present and lead discussion of Terry Gilliam’s dystopian extravaganza Brazil (1985). Set in a retro, low-tech world, mired in authoritarian bureaucracy, Brazil follows the travails of Sam Lowry, a low-level technocrat whose life gets turned upside down by a clerical error. Gilliam’s highly imaginative and visually ambitious film earned Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Art Direction. It stars Jonathan Pryce, Kim Greist, and Robert De Niro. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, 2016, Patrick Brennan of Middle Georgia State University will present and lead discussion of Steven Spielberg’s A. I. Artificial Intelligence (2001). At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016, Craig Coleman of Mercer University will present and lead discussion of Spike Jonez’s Oscar winning, offbeat romance Her (2013). Admission to all films is free to students with college IDs. All others pay $5 admission, which includes a small popcorn and drink. For more information, please contact Bob Burnham of Middle Georgia State University at 478-471-2999 or at bob.burnham@mga.edu.
Screening of Award-Winning Film “No Greater Love” Jan. 30 The Center for Collaborative Journalism and the Religious Life Center at Mercer University are pleased to be hosting a screening of the award-winning documentary film, No Greater Love. Winner of Best Documentary at the Boston Film Festival and Foyle Film Festival, 2015. No Greater Love is a documentary feature film that follows U.S. Army Chaplain, Capt. Justin David Roberts, as he joined his soldiers on combat missions in Afghanistan in 2010. Armed with only a camera, Roberts captured some of the most brutal firefights in America’s longest war. This film stands to start the conversation between civilians and soldiers. The chaplain’s story is an incredible story of love and service that intersected with a very pivotal point in the war in Afghanistan. The film consists of interviews with soldiers, Gold Star wives and families that tell the story of this deployment in their own words. This narrative is layered with footage shot while on combat missions by Chaplain Justin Roberts. Roberts was deployed to Kunar Province, Afghanistan in 2010-2011. Kunar is home to some the most feared terrorists in the world. During that time, the 2/327th Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne, also known as, “No Slack,” pushed farther than anyone has ever pushed before, even into valleys that have never been seen before by western forces. This film was directed by then active duty army chaplain Justin D Roberts who will also be joining us on campus for two events. Laura Fong, artist in residence at the Center for Collaborative Journalism is co-producer on the film. Friday, Jan. 29, 2016 at 3pm there will be a Q&A with Chaplain Roberts in Connell Student Center, Conference Room #1 about how civilians can help American military veterans make the transition home. Saturday, Jan. 30 at 7pm we will screen the feature-length film at the Mercer Medical School Auditorium, and have a Q&A with Chaplain Roberts immediately following the film. All events are free and open to the public. www.nglfilm.com 11thHourOnline.com 05

The History
Born the son of a former slave in 1870, Charles Douglass grew up in a time of racism and segregation. In 1907, Douglass began booking the Florida Blossom Minstrels and Comedy Company. The Douglass Theatre became the premier movie theatre and vaudeville hall open to African-American citizens in the city. The facility hosted early jazz and blues greats such as Ida Cox, Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey and comedy stars such as Butterbeans and Susie while at the same time running feature-length films and serials popular in theatres throughout the country. During the 1920’s, the theatre was an important venue for early African-American films written and produced by blacks for black audiences as well. Musical stars such as Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington filled The Douglass before moving on to the city auditorium in the 1940’s. By early 1960’s, The Douglass Theatre became a showcase for new musical talent such as Otis Redding, Little Richard and James Brown. The Douglass closed its doors in 1972 after showcasing diverse entertainment for more than fifty-two years. The Douglass reopened on January 11, 1997. The Douglass now serves all races and cultures with events, films and performances.
The History
It all started in 1981, when Father Richard Keil made a down payment on a dilapidated former warehouse in downtown Macon. Named for Harriet Tubman, the “Black Moses” who led hundreds of slaves to freedom, the Tubman Museum has grown over the years to become the largest institution of its type and a key educational and cultural resource for the entire southeast region. Macon’s Tubman African American Museum now sits at the end of Cherry Street in a new 49,000 square foot facility. The Museum hosts field trips, art openings and exhibitions and children’s educational activities throughout the year. Open Tuesday Saturday 9am - 5pm. Adults $10, children $6.

Macon Civic Club’s Annual Musical Revue Celebrates Macon Music For 55 years, area businessmen and their better halves have graced the Grand Opera House with a musical revue to benefit local nonprofit agencies. The Macon Civic club will present their revue: Macon Music on Wednesday February 3rd through Saturday, February 6th. The show will feature song, dance, and comedy amidst a spectacular set, colorful costumes, and sensational music from a live orchestra. A community favorite, this musical revue is led by some of the most talented directors in Central Georgia Theater. Jim Crisp, founding artistic director of Theatre Macon returns for his 29th show as director. Sylvia Haynie, Co-Owner and Co-Founder at Academy of the Performing Arts, as well as the Theater Director of Stratford Academy will return for her 28th show as the choreographer, and Laura Voss (co-owner of the Academy of Performing Arts,) is returning for her 13th year as musical director. This dynamic trio will direct 80 – 100 community leaders in what many theater goers consider one of most popular musical revues of the year. “Beth and I wanted our show to feature music with most songs having Macon roots,” explained Bill Henderson, Show Chairman, “We discussed this with one of the past Show Chairman that plays guitar and knows our talent potential really well. He told us to be careful with the theme and not paint ourselves into a corner. He suggested only having half of our music with Macon 12 JAN. 26 - FEB 9, 2016
roots. When we asked why, he replied that the music is too difficult to play and even harder to sing. (We told him he had nine months and get to work!)” They toyed with names such as Heart and Soul to be on the safe side. But instead, put together a more strategic plan. “We met with the Redding family to discuss our idea and they were excited about it. We also met with Rob Schneck from The Big House Museum and after touring the museum we got even more enthusiastic about the theme. I read everything I could get my hands on from Jamie Weatherford and Jessica Walden with Rock Candy Tours. Their knowledge of Macon’s musical history is incredible.” Bill and his wife, Beth, went to see Theatre Macon’s production of Civil War and were instantly hooked with the idea of musical theater. “Downtown Macon was so packed with activity it took us forever to find a parking place. I was overwhelmed with how our downtown area was experiencing such a great rebirth. While driving home I decided to throw all caution to the wind and the show would be called Macon Music.” As is always the case, the net proceeds from the production will be donated to numerous charities throughout the Middle Georgia area. In addition, this year, Macon Music, will benefit Theatre Macon and The Allman Brother’s Band Museum at the Big House with the proceeds from the Wednesday evening show, Heart of

All that mattered was this.
(Forward from the author, Brad Evans) Some believe that they can measure people by being around them just a little while. I wonder, sometimes, if I would have met Roy Flowers 40 years ago, if I would have known to be afraid. I have had lunch with him regularly for over a year now, and after one of our meetings I went up to 20’s Pub on Riverside, a place where an older crowd goes for happy hour. I walked in and asked aloud if anyone knew Roy Flowers. Several people raised their hands. One man had served time with him. Another remembered being in high school, and how just hearing the name struck fear. He even said he felt that fear when I came in and asked about him, that he half thought Roy was going to come in behind me and do god knows what. It’s hard to imagine now, as Roy is as gentle and kind of a man as I’ve ever met, always quick to ask about my family, and tell me about his own. But it’s hard to look at any man, and know the things inside him, and if there was ever a story about early promise gone wrong, this man, Roy Flowers, can tell it. I decided to tell his story from his point of view, as he’s told it to me over the last year and a half.

TRAMPOLINE PARK
14 JAN. 26 - FEB 9, 2016
It is the world’s first indoor trampoline park and it has families in Macon jumping for joy! Sky Zone, famous for what franchise owners call fun fitness, offers a full body workout in a vibrant, climate controlled environment – and it’s not just for kids. “You don’t think jumping on trampolines is that hot or that much of a workout. I mean, there was nothing to it as a kid right?? Wrong!” explains Macon resident Randy Williams, “Fun but sweaty, heavy breathing and quite the little workout.” It took one trip to a Sky Zone for owners Yong Jung and Han Yu to figure out Macon just had to have one. “We saw all the kids having fun and being active, not sitting down in front of a TV or computer,” explains Jung, “This was the main reason we wanted to open a Sky Zone. We love to see kids be active, healthy and having fun. So we thought this would be a great addition to the Macon community.” Reservations are not necessary, however, birthday parties do need to be booked in advance. The Macon location offers a welcome change for families, as now they do not have to run to Atlanta to give it a try. “As a parent I found it clean with plenty of places for me to read my book,” said Macon resident, Amanda Cook of the Atlanta location. Shannon Moore of Atlanta shared how her first experience hooked the kids immediately, “I went with the kids to a birthday party at the Kennesaw location. The kids LOVED it. Now, both of the kids want their birthday parties there.” It is important to know, that you jump at your own risk. Every jumper needs to sign a liability waiver at each Sky Zone location. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian must fill the waiver out for you, but does not have to be present when you visit the park. Waivers can be filled out online or downloaded on your local Sky Zone’s website. Macon’s Sky Zone expects to open sometime in February and will be located next door to Planet Fitness on Tom Hill Sr Blvd. For more information, visit their website at http://www.skyzone. com/macon or on Facebook.

Mama Hill and Mama Louise have kept Macon’s most diverse clientele well fed with delicious, stick-to-ya-ribs soul food since Otis Redding was just an unknown band member in Johnny Jenkins’ Pinetoppers. On one fateful day in the mid-60’s a group a long hairs pooled their money together for two plates. Mama Louise felt sorry for them and gave them all a heaping helping.

Eleven Quirky Facts about Jim Crisp:
Jim Crisp
Director or magician... Crisp elevates Theatre Macon Some would call Jim Crisp a magician. He can size up a person, their potential, and place them on a stage and create a world that an audience can easily get sucked into and transformed. As the founding artistic director of Theatre Macon, Crisp has spent his life crafting and honing not only the skills of countless Maconites, but also his own. Born in Akron, Ohio, during what he refers to as a “golden time,” Crisp was the oldest of five and a bit of a black sheep. At the time, Akron was the center of the rubber industry, and his family was comprised of businessmen, military, and professional athletes. “When I was a kid, I used to get my brother and sisters and create plays and skits to perform in.” He said that they would put these shows on at family functions. This was just the beginning to what would one day become a way of life. Once he entered high school, and his family moved to Cleveland, he was fortunate to be able to attend a school where the arts were as important as sports. “The arts were fundamental to our education,” he explained. He said that there was a deep and profound commitment to a diverse liberal arts education from the beginning. In his senior year, his parents would move the family to the Gulf Coast of Florida. Here he would lose his footing socially and academically, moving to what he described was a foreign country. The distraction and transition contributed to his delay in applying to colleges and he ended up attending Manatee Junior College. Two years later he would audition at the Southeastern Theater Conference for summer work. He was hired in the summer of 16 JAN. 26 - FEB 9, 2016
1. I have this nervous habit. I become aware of my face and it itches and I have this pattern of scratching my nose, doing something with my mustache, and then smoothing my eyebrows. People sometimes come up to me and imitate me. 2. When I find something really funny, I have a very distinctive barking laugh that I cannot control. 3. When I eat, one of the first things I do is divide my food and cannot have my food touching. 4. In restaurants, classrooms, meeting rooms, I like the table in the back of the room, the wall to my back, so I can watch the door. And I always sit in the same place. 5. When I park, and it is some place I go to a lot, I park in the same parking spot every time. 6. I collect Titanic memorabilia and books about the Romanoff’s. 7. I shave and brush my teeth in the shower. It saves time. 8. Pre show ritual – I do not eat, or if I do, it will be small and high protein. I get to the theater early. I also need time alone where I do meditation and breathing exercises. 9. I have a couple of superstitions. I don’t whistle in the dressing room. I do not name or quote the Scottish play in the theater. I buy into that. 10. I am obsessive about grooming. I have to have short fingernails. I do not like long fingernails on men. 11. People always know when I am in an audience, because I clear my throat due to allergies.
and Macon Civic Club to higher standards
1970 by a summer stock theater in Western Illinois. It was his first paid job. “I had the most amazing, transforming summer of my young life at this point.” He referred to this summer as the endless summer. Later, he transferred to Western Illinois and finished his BA in Theater and decided to go to grad school to study costume and set design. In ‘73, with no plans and zero job prospects, he sought the advice of one of his esteemed professors. “He told me I needed to apply to Yale’s Graduate Acting program,” said Crisp, “What he said scared the hell out of me. I didn’t even bother.” That decision remains one of the biggest regrets in his life, “I say this so that young people reading will not disqualify themselves because they think they might not be good enough. The worst that can happen is they tell you no.” He did return to Florida to study with the Asolo Repertory Theatre, completing his MFA in Acting. Later he would do a two year stint in New York, finding bit acting jobs, but never landing that role that would catapult him in the theater world. On an invitation from some friends, he packed his bags, with $75 in his pocket, and flew out to Los Angeles. In about a week or so, he landed a gig through a commercial agency in what he describes as a very typical L.A. story. He stayed four years. While there he saw an ad for an artistic director position in Macon, Georgia. He wanted to get back east, closer to his family. He packed his things, and accepted the position. After leaving the theater due to “artistic differences,” Crisp was invited to create the resident
theater company for what was then known as Macon Junior College. Not very long after that, his friend Donnie Wayne Churchwell found a space in downtown Macon to transform an old restaurant into a community theater. Folks thought they were crazy, this was well before downtown was booming. But they did it. “Jim Irvin took the lead on building the old theater. He was there every day working with our volunteers.” That theater’s closing show was Into the Woods. They reopened in the current space on Cherry Street with So Long on Lonely Street in March of 1995. 30 years in Macon has made Jim Crisp a house hold name for theater goers. He is currently on his 29th year as the Macon Civic Club’s artistic director and is participating this year with the Youth Actors Company in The Robert McDuffie Center for Strings “What Color is Your Brother? An Exploration of Race Through Words and Music” on Saturday, Feb. 27. He credits a lot of his success to his dear friend, Roben Weitz. “He came here 20 years ago just as we moved into the new theatre. He jumped right in and made a huge contribution and he is responsible for the wonderful gallery shows. Also as with anyone who spends a life building something, the person you share your life with often makes so much of what you do possible. In Roben’s case, he demanded, pushed and insisted that I always be better; strive for higher standards.” By Nicole Thurston

OP-ED
Iowa and New Hampshire Prior to the 1976 Iowa caucuses, very few people had heard of Jimmy Carter. In fact, even fewer were aware of the Iowa caucuses until then. For the first time an outsider came into the state and worked hard to understand and capitalize on an election that is unlike any other in the nation. It isn’t enough in Iowa to have high visibility and good polling numbers. You must turn out registered voters to attend their local caucus and stay until the very end when a vote is taken. If they see a line waiting or, if the January weather is too harsh, many will turn around and go home. Others get bored and leave before the vote is actually taken. In fact, a recent episode of “The Good Wife” (which features Macon’s amazing Carrie Preston) portrayed it very realistically. Jimmy Carter has never shied away from the sobriquet of “policy wonk.” He and his young staff learned every nuance of the Iowa rules and worked on grass-roots organizing rather than on photo ops and county fairs. The popular Congressman Mo Udall was considered the frontrunner and was proud to campaign on his liberal record since he was far to the left of Carter. Polls showed Udall at 30% to Carter’s 12% (there were several other candidates including Senators Birch Bayh and Fred Harris and Kennedy brotherin-law Sargent Shriver). Carter had very little money and almost no media coverage but he spent as much time in the state as possible. I was campaigning in New Hampshire, set to take place shortly after the Iowa caucuses, but kept in daily contact with my friends there who told me how frustrating it was to be unable to attract media attention. When Jimmy Carter won 27% of the Iowa caucus votes on January 19th, outpolling everyone else except “uncommitted” at 37%, no one could ignore him anymore. The popular Udall who had been expected to win received only 6% coming in at fifth place. Udall would continue to challenge Carter who beat him by only 1% in the Wisconsin primary even though most people went to bed thinking that Udall had won. The Carter win in Iowa immediately focused public attention on him. He had spent every penny the campaign had raised, leaving nothing for the next battle one month later in New Hampshire where we were waiting for him with almost 100 committed Georgia volunteers who had all paid our own way to campaign. I clearly remember the Shriver children campaigning on opposite sides of the same snow-covered streets we were working door-to-door. Jimmy Carter bested Udall again by a 28% to 22% margin in New Hampshire and threw himself into the rapidly-ap-
proaching primaries in other states. The Macon-based Allman Brothers Band quickly arranged a fund-raising concert to generate much-needed cash to continue the fight. Not until the North Carolina primary, where I was running the campaign in the eastern part of the state, would Jimmy Carter achieve an absolute majority with almost 54% of the vote (George Wallace came in second at almost 35%, later winning the primaries or caucuses in Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina). What modern-day lessons from 1976 can we apply to the present campaign? First, we should largely ignore popularity polls in Iowa. A bottomless treasury can buy lots of air time but, unless there are organized staff members and volunteers on the ground working to bring committed voters to the caucus, that popularity won’t translate to a win. Second, be prepared for surprises. With social media available within seconds and media ready to pounce on any misstep, today’s highs can easily devolve into tomorrow’s lows. Right now the Republican establishment is doing everything in its power to stop the much-detested Ted Cruz. This guy has really made some enemies and he seems to revel in his solitude. When former Senator Bob Dole and the U.S.’s longest-serving governor, Iowa’s popular Terry Branstad, both go out of their way to proclaim that Cruz must be stopped, there has to be a reason. The present logic seems to be that Cruz should be taken out in Iowa by Donald Trump, then the party can coalesce behind one candidate who will take out Trump in future races. That’s a tricky assignment, though, since Trump has the angry white guy vote pretty well sewn up and I don’t see them happily embracing one of his opponents. Thus his dangerous (although likely true) claim that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose his voters. I’m a Democrat but have never been a big Hillary Clinton fan. When I was still on City Council I endorsed Barack Obama against Hillary. This year I had hoped that Joe Biden would enter the race but his personal family commitments understandably kept him from doing so. Since the only Republican candidate whom I would consider supporting is Ohio Governor John Kasich (even though I strongly disagree with his plan to create a new government agency to promote “Christian-Judeo values”) and he is highly unlikely to secure the nomination, I fully expect that I will be casting my vote for Hillary Clinton. Should Donald Trump be the Republican nominee, I predict that she won’t need my vote to defeat him in November’s general election. 11thHourOnline.com 23

What is your craziest traveling story with your crew? Pixie: We do hang out with the audience after the show. We’ll hang out and drink at the bar where we perform. It never fails to get crazy. Little people can’t handle what normal sized people can, so it doesn’t take much to go off the rails. Flying Ryan: I know every night we perform is crazy. It would be impossible to nail it down to just one. 200 shows a year. Every one of them is crazy.
The greatest little show on earth is coming to Macon’s own Crazy Bull. That’s right, Midget Wrestling is finally here. Little Mania is a traveling, Micro-Wrestling circuit that goes all over the country fulfilling people’s little people fantasies.

We caught up with two of the wrestlers last week,on the road in North Carolina.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3 6:30 p.m. The Crazy Bull Ringside $15, General Admission $10 Ages 18+
Are ya’ll in a van, or do you meet at venues? Pixie: We usually meet in one location then travel together from there. We have a nice van so we just pile in there and go. What kind of reactions do you get at say, a gas station? Flying Ryan: Well, it’s not every day folks get to see a bunch of little people get out of one van, so we get a lot of stares, a lot of people taking pictures of us. And you are never offended by anyone? Pixie: No. As little people we’re
pretty used to the stares. Kids are the funniest. They usually see us and scream “LOOK MA, MIDGETS!” I guess you could just beat them up if you were ever offended. Pixie: Pretty Much. What do your parents think about your chosen career? My mom never understood wrestling. Pixie: My mom didn’t understand wrestling at first, but now she’s happy having a micro-superstar as a daughter. How did this all come about for you? Pixie: Well I’m from Little Rock, and I knew some DJ’s out there. Micro wrestling came to town and they told me about it, and said there might be an opportunity, so I called them and met with the owner and I’ve been doing it for seven years now. But I started out as a fan of wrestling. I loved it as a kid. Flyin Ryan. I was in school for broadcasting when I heard about it. I’ve been here for two years now and love every minute of it. 11thHourOnline.com 25

demanding critic of all: himself. “Right now, this is my favorite record,” Chris Knight says of his new album, Heart Of Stone. This record is the one where it all comes together. The Steepwater Band Plays the Rolling Stones THE HUMMINGBIRD After two highly successful shows where The Steepwater Band performed the classic live album from The Rolling Stones “Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out”, the Chicago based group has decided to take that show on the road. Singer/guitarist Jeff Massey said “The Stones are a huge influence on our band, and ‘Get Yer Ya-Yas Out’ is complete rock n’ roll. It’s rough around the edges… it’s about attitude, the blues, big guitar riffs… and isn’t too far off from what we do in a Steepwater show anyway.” Ya-Ya’s is perfect for this band. 8 Second Ride WILD WING CAFE

Thursday 2/4 Moon Taxi COX CAPITOL THEATRE The members of Moon Taxi are no strangers to the stage. Hailing from Nashville, the five-piece formed in 2006 and set out to conquer the Southeast with their unforgettable live set. Nine years later, they’ve amassed over one thousand shows and released two albums, Cabaret (2012) and Mountains Beaches Cities (2013). The latter landed the band their first National latenight television appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman and Conan as well as multiple commercial and TV placements including BMW, Nashville, MLB, NFL and HBO Sports to name a few. With a rabid fan base under their belts, they’ve upped the ante this year to become a festival favorite with recent performances at Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, and upcoming appearances at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits.

If your answer is yes, there’s hope left for the Southern life after all. If no, spin that dusty record again for old times sake. For the future is in the past, and we’re all dead anyway. You already know everything this band has to say, but they say it anyway, and they’re saying it with soul: louder & longer. They’ve released two award winning EP’s and now have a full length album: The Light. The Dark. The Dusk. So what does this album bring to the table? Fiddles, guitars, banjo, songs about heartbreak, small towns, and all that Southern stuff.

Corey Smith COX CAPITOL THEATRE The way Corey Smith sees it, he owes a debt to his fans. And it’s one he is determined to repay with his 10th album, While the Gettin’ Is Good. The project, released on Sugar Hill Records, marks the first time that the singer-‐songwriter, a wildly popular touring artist who has produced all of his past efforts, has turned over the reins to a bona fide country music producer in Keith Stegall. The result is Smith’s most ambitious record yet, as well as a return on the investment made by the fans who have supported him since 2003.
