raven Early College welcomes folks back to the 1960s as it presents the acclaimed Broadway musical “Hairspray.”

For the past three years, Craven Early College has worked to provide the high school students of Craven County an opportunity to work together and create extraordinary theatrical productions. Following the dark world of “Sweeney Todd” and the twisted legal proceedings of “Chicago,” CEC is excited to lighten things up with the colorful and vibrant dancing and singing “Hairspray” is best known for.

“Hairspray” opens at 7:30pm on March 31 at Orringer Auditorium on the campus of Craven Community College. Evening performances are slated for April 1-2 and 7-9 with 2pm matinees on April 3 & 10. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students (with ID) and can be purchased at the Bender Building at Craven Community College and Bank of the Arts or by calling 252-6375706.

The musical is based on the 1988 film

by John Waters and takes place in 1960s downtown Baltimore. It tells the story of pleasantly plump Tracy Turnblad (Kathleen Harrison) as she follows her dream to be a council member on the popular “Corny Collins Show” and win the affections of her teen crush Link Larkin (Wilson White). Her sunny demeanor and talented footwork are challenged by fellow council member Amber and her mother/show producer Velma Von Tussle (Anna Dziwanowski and Molly Leonard). Tracy’s appearance on the show sparks the possibility of something bigger

on the horizon: racial integration. She befriends smooth-talking Seaweed J. Stubbs (D’Nadre Bell) and popular DJ Motormouth Maybelle (Creesha Jones) as she fights for equal rights in Baltimore.

The cast includes high school and early college students from all over Craven County, including Cameron Fillingame as Wilbur, Georgie Blackerby as Penny, Anthony San Miguel as Corny, Nisha Ambrose as Little Inez, Jordan Daughety as Prudy, Lamair Bryan, Imani Stroman, Gabby Gavin, Tarmariah Jackson and Diamond Gibbs as the Dynamites and many, many more.

The role of Edna Turnblad, Tracy’s mother, is traditionally portrayed by a male actor in performances around the country. So following in the footsteps of Divine, Harvey Fierstein and John Travolta, Alex Winn can be found hiding underneath layers of make-up appliances, wigs and special body suits to breathe life into the showstopping character. Winn’s performance is sure to be a show stopper with the help of director, Aaron Williams; assistant director, Keith Boyd; producer, Jeanette Hardin; and choreographers, Stacy Miller, Derek Jordan and Roxanne Belrose.

This production is sure to take New Bern to a whole new level when it comes to theater. A special video produced for the opening of the show’s signature number “Good Morning Baltimore” involved the closing of an entire block of Pollock Street in downtown New Bern and special lighting design and effects were incorporated into the show by Frank Eason.

The musical features memorable songs such as “The Nicest Kids in Town,” “Run and Tell That,” “Mama, I’m A Big Girl Now” and “You Can’t Stop The Beat.” The students and production staff have been hard at work replicating all the major details of the 1960s in order to transport audience members back to the fun, but significant era. From the big hair to the elaborate dances, “Hairspray” promises to be a rocking good time.

Tickets are $20 and available at the Bank of the Arts in New Bern, Oriental’s History Museum, Food Emporium and Croakertown. Tickets may be purchased at any of the open homes on the day of the tour.

They’re easy to find with the large sailboat signs posted in front.

The two met when Dodd was searching for the perfect cover for her island romance.

As it happens, Hultman’s painting Island Retreat worked out

perfectly for the cover of “Shifting Sands.” Since then, the two have collaborated on several of Dodd’s book covers.

Dodd will be signing her latest New Bern mystery, “Bear with Me, Dear” and Hultman will be available to discuss his artwork.

CHERRY BRANCH MINNESOTT FERRY Free Ferry - 20 minutes 30 cars - Year-Round

In a place where boats outnumber its residents nearly three to one, the town of Oriental is a sailor’s refuge tucked away along the Neuse River, which oddly enough, earned its named from a Union Steamship that sank 33 miles north of Hatteras, near Bodie Island. The wife of Oriental’s founder and first postmaster, Lou Midyette, is said to have seen the transom of the vessel displayed years later at a home in Manteo and found it to be the ideal name for their little waterside hamlet.

Boats are not just a part of Oriental’s history, they define it. Labeled the sailing capital of North Carolina, it’s common to find residents and visitors kayaking, fishing and sailing year round. Nearly 5-6,000 sailors come in to port each year from the Intracoastal Waterway, many for the collection of regattas held throughout the year.

The town boasts a plethora of activities, a wealth of award-winning artisans, an active music scene, a theater group and a thriving community spirit.

The year-round ferry, which carries 30 cars, docks at Minnesott Beach, just 10 miles from Oriental, making it accessible to points east and west.

Nestled along Hwy 70 between Morehead City and New Bern, Havelock is best know as the home of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, now the largest air station in the world.

From its landmark Harrier plane propped up halfway through town to the thundering sounds of passing jets, there is no mistaking the presence and effect the air station has on Havelock’s visitors and residents.

A small community started in the mid-1800s, Havelock grew, in part, because of the union between Atlantic and North Carolina railroads. A depot was built at the crossing and named after British Gen. Henry Havelock.

The 1940s and World War II brought with them MCAS Cherry Point and Havelock’s population exploded, from about 100 to approximately 22,500 people.

Havelock enjoys visitors year round, with annual events like its NC Chili Festival and the Cherry Point Air Show, held each year in June, and natural attractions such as the Croatan National Forest and Neuse River. To learn more about Havelock, visit cityofhavelock.com.

Exploring Tucked away on the banks of the Neuse River, the city of New Bern offers the comforts of a modern riverside city with a historic tradition that dates back to Colonial times. In 1710, Swiss baron Christopher de Graffenried founded New Bern as the second-oldest town in North Carolina, naming the city after Bern, the Swiss capital. The bear proudly displayed throughout the city comes from the Swiss city’s name, taken from the German word “bären,” or “bears.”

While providing shopping and dining experiences on par with other major cities, New Bern maintains the spirit and feel of a small town.

Visitors can explore 150 historic landmarks, many of which date back to the 18th century. The revitalized historic district offers visitors a variety of shops, galleries, restaurants and historic homes.

Tryon Palace is one of New Bern’s most popular historic sites.

Completed in 1770, Tryon Palace was built by British Governor William Tryon and served as the capital building in the later 1700s when New Bern was North Carolina’s capital. Tryon Palace hosted many famous people, including George Washington.

New Bern is also famed for a late 1800s pharmacist named Ca-

SOUND Newcomer Workshop/Concert On her recent hit single, Carrie Newcomer sings, “The greatest revolution is a simple change of heart.” Newcomer does, indeed, change the hearts of all who hear her perform. Her vocal clarity and emotional honesty prompted Billboard magazine to describe her as a “soaring songstress.” Poetic lyrics, delivered in her smooth, graceful alto, celebrate the miracles found in life’s simplest moments.

Thanks to the Pamlico Musical Society, local audiences will have two opportunities to enjoy Carrie Newcomer’s artistry. At 2pm on Wednesday, April 6 she will present “Writing Mindfully,” a song writing and creative writing workshop at the Old Theater in Oriental. Songwriters, poets and prose writers of all ages and experience levels are encouraged to attend the free workshop, which will focus on the power and significance of stories that are inspired by our everyday experiences. Guests will be welcomed on a first-come, first-served basis.

In addition to her workshop, Newcomer will perform at 7:30 that evening. Tickets to the concert are $15 and available by calling 252-6711791.

Skillfully navigating between light hearted humor and serious introspection, Newcomer’s music has been widely praised, earning acco-

16

New Bern Magazine

lades in Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal, among others. After recording the title soundtrack on Before and After with Newcomer, Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote, “I love Carrie Newcomer. She writes about what is most personal to her, and in so doing, she speaks to the wider world.”

For more information about Pamlico Musical Society, call 252-249-3670, or visit pamlicomusic.org.

Dance & Very Live Music Wendy Osserman and members of her dance company will perform at 7:30pm on Friday, April 29, at the Old Theater, Oriental. The troupe will be joined by Czech singer, Iva Bittova.

The Wendy Osserman Dance Company (wendyossermandance.org) has performed in New York for more than three decades at venues such as the Kitchen, DTW, St. Mark’s Church, Joe’s Pub, Joyce SoHo, Symphony Space and Theater for a New City. It has toured nationally and internationally, performing and teaching in colleges, schools, parks and festivals. From 2006 to 2010 the group was in residence at the Chelsea Art Museum, performing site-specific movement scores and this past November the company participated in the 30th annual John Lennon Tribute which took place at the Beacon Theater.

Iva Bittova (ivabittova.com) is a Czech-born composer/performer residing in upstate New York. Her art is based on a unique, highly expressive and utterly virtuosic way of using her voice while combining it with the timbres and rhythms of the violin. The music she produces is distinctively her own, weaving Moravian folk traditions, Roma (Gypsy) melodies, progressive jazz, classical music, the avant garde and even rock into her work.

Tickets are $18 and can be purchased the week of April 4 at Village Hardware and the Bank of The Arts.

Toe Tappin’ Time The Folk Arts Society is busy preparing for its April concert with Karen Savoca and Pete Heitzman. The pair will perform at 8pm on Friday, April 15 at the Trent River Coffee Co. Tickets are $15 general, $12 members, $8 students, and available at the venue.

Savoca’s appearance on the contemporary folk scene says more about the broad-minded audience of folk than it does about her music.

Performing with longtime partner Heitzman, the pair adds a little bit of funk, raising the bar for the usual folk sound. Playing conga and hand percussion, Savoca infuses the music with her love of soul, R&B and world rhythms.

They have been described as a self-contained mini-band with “the fearlessness of a high-wire act working without a net.”

To learn more, visit downeastfolkarts.org or call 252-633-6444. (cont. from page 9)

Or you may want to jump in feet first with the Grade School Building on Church Street where Christine and Chase Braswell share a first floor unit. The Grade School was built in 1915 to serve the children of Oriental and Kershaw and still holds its original charm from those old school days.

Nearby on Broad Street is the Old Theater, which boasts a rich history of entertaining residents. Activities in those days were as varied as they are today. At 11am and 2pm on the day of the tour, Evelyn Stephenson, a driving force behind the theater renovation and the Pelican Players, will give a brief presentation highlighting theater activities over the years.

Close by, the Delamar House, which was built at the turn of the last century, will be ready to receive guests. It is presently owned and being renovated by Selva and Don Staub who have interesting plans for a brew

pub in an original building at the back of the property. Be sure to take a peek at the Bottle House, constructed entirely from beer bottles, located behind a Broad Street house several doors down from the Delamar House. And you won’t want to miss the Old Hotel, which served the town back in the beginning of the 1900s. Nautical Wheelers presently occupy the main floor but the entire building will be open that day. From 1-5pm a wine tasting will take place on the outside porch.

Whether you’re browsing history or enjoying the sweet scents of a spring garden, Oriental is a great place to spend a Saturday in April. With music wafting from area porches, a Farmers’ Market down by the harbor selling a variety of goodies in the morning and local artwork on display down at the waterfront, it’s the ideal time to make a day of it. To learn more, call 252249-9838.

THE

RAINMAKER Palace Looks at New Ways to Water the Garden

ryon Palace and the NC State University Dept. of Biological and Agricultural Engineering are partnering to implement a rainwater harvesting system at Tryon Palace. The team, led by NC Extension Associate Kathy DeBusk, is installing a system designed to collect rainwater and funnel it into five cisterns, or tanks, with a capacity of roughly 3,000 gallons.

The “rain garden” will allow Tryon Palace to “harvest” rainwater from the rear roof of the Tryon Palace Way Station, located at the corner of George and Pollock streets.

The collected rainwater will be recycled and used for watering the Carraway and Stoney Gardens. Overflow water will then be piped to a newly-created rain garden to the rear of the Stoney Garden.

With this project, Tryon Palace is continuing its commitment to green design.

In 2010, Tryon Palace celebrated the opening of the NC History Center, a 60,000-sq.-ft. building on a 6-acre site on the Trent River adjacent to the palace and downtown New Bern.

The NC History Center is planned for LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) certification at the gold or silver level. The site is a

former industrial or Brownfield site. It was classified as a Superfund property and a major contaminant of the Neuse River Basin. Administration of remediation was handled under the NC Superfund, part of the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

The History Center is a green-designed project including the construction of wetlands that filter stormwater run-off from a 50-acre area of the New Bern Historic District. The run-off is captured in a large underground cistern that recycles the water for irrigation and replenishment of the wetlands. The parking area also has a permeable surface allowing for absorption of run-off. In addition, the building is constructed of recycled materials and a commissioning agent has insured the operational efficiency of all mechanical and electrical equipment.
