Her latest CD, "Let's FlyA Kite," is about remembering simplejoys.Recorded over three weeks in London with legendary United Kingdom songwriter Nick Lowe's band, the album required a unique approach and captures a distinct moment in Mandell's life — new motherhood. Mandell is the mother of three-year-old twins who accompany her nearly everywhere on the road ia prospect she says is actually less stressful than traveling with a band), and have radicall y transformed every aspect ofher life. eWe stop at parks and playgroundsand museums and swimming pools," she says of touring with the twins."It's such a cool

Duringatrip to thelocalart museum, she discovered a use of texture far beyond anything she could create with just paint.

The musical"Oliver!" will run for12performances in September, starting Friday.

The production is an adaptation of the Charles Dickens tale"Oliver Twist" with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart. The plot centers around a half-starved orphan boy who breaks free from the cruelty of a children's workhouse only to be caught up with other boys in a den of thievesin thedark streetsof London. Oliver navigates through a maze of complicated relationships and dangerous characters, trying to escapethislife ashe searches for the love and happiness he deserves.

Oliver is played by first-time actor Henry Fager, the son of Travis and Jenni Fager of rural La Grande. His parents say that Henry has always had the theater genes in him, putting on home performances for them since he was very young. But this time, Henry is not willing to unveil his full acting and singing talents to them until opening night.

"I want to keep it a surprise," he sald.

His mother said she's never heard Henry sing, so she was surprisedatthebeautifulsoprano voice that came out ofhim at his audition. Since he landed the role of Oliver, Henry has been taking

All the cast members will be speaking and singing with British accents, a skill that Henry is well prepared for.

"I watch a lot of British shows, so I have no problem with the British accent," he said.

After rehearsing almost four hours a day, six days a week, any stage fright he may have had has lefthim.

"I'm comfortable with being on stage," Henry said."I like being in fiont of a crowd and the energy of it. It's fun."

Henry debuts his soprano voice in the solo, Where is Love?" and he sings with a chorus on'Who will Buy?" Other well known"Oliver!" tunes include"Food, Glorious Food,""Consider Yourself,"eYou've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two,""I'd

Do Anything" and"As Long as He Needs Me." "Oliver!" is directed by Julie Bloodgood. Musical director and choreographerisIsraelBloodgood, stage manager is Anjee Whitnah, with lighting by Matt Bloodgood and sound by Nathan Harris.

Terry and Stephanie Hale have built the sets, which were designed and painted by artist Jon Hanley.

A large costume department led by Rob and Wendy Simer is creating the 19th century British costumes for the"Oliver!" cast. '"Oliver!'is a high energy, feel good, family production by the Friends of the Opera House," Henry said."I thasan array ofelaborate sets, large dance numbers and allaspectsofentertainment, sobe sure not to miss this. It's a spectacle of singing and dancing you won't forget."

The conniving criminal Fagin (center) played byAri Bloodgood, shows his pickpocket boys and Oliver (right), played by Henry Fager, what treasures can be stolen from the gents on the streets of London.

MOllliS Magic in the Moonlight

By Cary Darling

Eager to discredit her, Stanley agrees to attend her next seance, where he will also meet her mother (Marcia Gay Harden) and fiance, Brice (Hamish Linklater), both of whom are convinced of her powers.

But things get complicated when Stanley, who is also engaged, finds himself attracted to Sophie and vice versa. He had never anticipated that he might have to choose love overlogic.

After dealing with the emotional breakdown at the core of "Blue Jasmine," a very contemporarytale offree-falling down the social ladder that won star Cate Blanchett the Best Actress Oscar,director/w riterWoody Allen once again seeks refuge in the past.

With "Magic in the Moonlight," Allen turns out a well-wrought and clever but lightweight bauble setin late-1920s France that echoes the European daydream of his 2011 hit, "Midnight in Paris."

What makes "Moonlight" most memorable is the performance from Colin Firth, who is in nearly every scene. Without him, "Moonlight" just might evaporate.

Firth is Stanley, the Penn Jillette ofhis day, a magician and a man of science and secularism whose specialty is to debunk those claiming to engage in the supernatural.

An old magician friend of his, Howard (Simon McBurney), shows up after a performance to tell him of Sophie Baker (Emma
