June is nearly over, and with the end of the month comes the end of Summer Registration for the University’s thousands of incoming freshmen. Most people probably would never notice, and neither would I, except that I’ve met a decent chunk of the new students while working at University dormitory Allen Hall giving tours to future residents—along with their parents, brothers, sisters, grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and whatever other random strangers happened to join their trip down to campus from the suburbs. It’s a good job—the pay is decent, the office is airconditioned and, most of the time, I’m merely sorting mail or watching Netflix. But every 30 minutes or so, there’s a knock at the door and yet another fresh-faced punk who’s way too enthusiastic for college. When the tours began in mid-May, it was a refreshing, exciting experience; I spent my own first two years at school living in Allen Hall, and I was ecstatic to introduce future generations of Allenites to the building and its legacy. But my vigor faded quickly once I fell into the tour rut—giving the exact same spiel about all the exact same Allen features, I felt robotic and detached. Sure, it would have been nice to take a more conversational approach or try to change things up once in a while, but how many different ways can you break the news to worrisome parents that, no, Allen is not air-conditioned but things will eventually cool off and in the meantime box fans make the rooms plenty bearable. Giving tours has allowed me fascinating insight into each parent-student pair’s family dynamic. Sometimes the kids ask lots of questions and remain engaged throughout the tour. Sometimes the parents ask tons of questions, and the kids simply avoid eye contact and look impossibly embarrassed. I’ve seen disputes over whether shower caddies are really necessary (“But Moooom! It’s not cool!) devolve into full-blown arguments (“YOU DON’T VALUE MY OPINION!�). Once, a student had his face in his Kindle Nook the entire time (I should’ve asked for book recommendations) and his mom would constantly nudge him and whisper under her breath, “pay attention or I’ll ground you from that thing.� It’s been quite a treat, and certainly fun while it lasted, but I’m ready to get back to streaming Fargo. Bring on the Odenkirk!

AND THE WHEELS KEEP ON ROLLING BY MATT MESCHINO Looking to explore the CU area this summer? Check out Neutral Cycle Workshop! This independent company, which had its grand opening on campus just two months ago, provides bicycle rentals, repairs and accessories. With one location one in Champaign (624 S. Fifth St.) and the other in Urbana (210 N. Busey Ave.), it’s easier for community members to get everything for their biking needs. Neutral Cycle provides bike owners with free air for tires. For more extensive repairs and tune-ups, Neutral Cycle has a few reasonably priced options, comparable to the price of getting a car’s oil changed. There are two types of rental programs: one for those that would like to rent a bike for 70 days or more, and one for those who are looking for just a few days of adventure through the flat lands of Central Illinois. The stores offer a variety of different bikes, but what really catches the eye is its “Big Yellow Ride.” Unsurprisingly, this tandem bicycle is school bus yellow and accompanied by two seats, four pedals and two sets of handlebars. Whether for transportation or for exploration, the Neutral Cycle Workshop is every biker’s guide. For more information, visit http://neutralcycle.com. BUZZ STAFF

Halloween: You know the ones I'm talking about. Folks put them out on the porch to spook people away with their carved-out eyes and crooked teeth. It's even worse when people place candles inside of them to form sinister-looking shadows that increase the spookiness factor tenfold. But the ABSOLUTE worst is when people take the non-traditional route with their carvings and etch realistic skeletons to spook the living daylights out of you. How spooky is that?

» My Clumsiness: It's not an exaggeration when I say that I drop, spill or break something every day - once, if I'm lucky. In a matter of three days, I managed to break one of my roommate's wine glasses (my b, Jordan), spill an entire glass of water just to refill it and spill it again, and spill my coffee all over my walls - trust me, I WISH I could explain that one. And those are just the most noteworthy ones. My clumsiness has plagued me since day one, but the reasons as to why I've never outgrown it are ineffable. It's not like I have the gangliness that would even warrant such behavior. My under-5'2'' self has perfectly proportional limbs, so you'd think they'd be pretty easy to control.

» The “Garden Rain” scented candle: As a very particular person about the scent of the candles I buy, I like to stick with my tried and true favorites. One of these, no matter what time of the year, is the Garden Rain scented candle. From setting the mood to establishing ambiance, I want a scent that I can rely on. Recently, my Berries & Fruit scented candle burned out. Tragedy though it was, I moved on with another (very fitting with the recent weather) scent: Garden Rain. Helping me contemplate the murky abyss of my thoughts, complete my homework, or allow me to feel slightly more introspective than without a lit candle, the cherry on top is that is smells good. Additional note: always go with Pine scented incense, especially for in the evening. It helps conveniently remove the smell of garbage from any room and allows for a small stream to majestically billow, too. Mmmm.

MOVIE REVIEW
JERSEY BOYS
In the autumn of the Jersey Boys’ popularity, The Four Seasons are in spring BY SYD SLOBODNIK
+++,, R
Used with permission from guardian.co.uk
No
one should be very surprised to see that Clint Eastwood has successfully directed Jersey Boys, the musical biography of a famed 1950s pop singer Frankie Valli and his group The Four Seasons: In 1988, Eastwood masterfully told the story of jazz legend Charlie Parker in the remarkable moody film Bird, which starred Forrest Whitaker. Six years earlier, he had directed himself in a little-known tale of a Depressionera country singer called Honkytonk Man. In Jersey Boys, Eastwood has assembled a mostly unknown cast of fresh faces, which includes the 2006 Tony Award-winning John Lloyd Young, who played Valli in the original Broadway production of Jersey Boys and the well-known Christopher Walken as

the mob friend Angelo “Gyp” DeCarlo. Screenwriters Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice adapt their musical narrative, keeping much of the original story told on Broadway intact and using the narration by each member of The Four Seasons as they explain their version of the band’s rise and revivals. The tale is first told by hot-headed Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza); then Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen), the group’s creative songwriter; then "Ringo" of the group Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda); and finally, Frankie (Young). From their tougher street days of the early 1950s, a couple of band members went from serving jail time to fun and romance with lots of gals, a troubled married life, gigs in small venues, and early recording sessions evolving into the chart-
topping superstar group. The male leads create a fine ensemble of performances, and the group is quite believable as buddies who shared many highs and lows in their several decades of fame. The female cast is rather spare, but Freya Tingley is noteworthy as Frankie’s troubled daughter, Francine. The film includes first class renditions of The Four Seasons' many hit songs: “Sherry," “Working My Way Back to You," “Big Girls Don't Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “You’re Just Too Good to Be True” and others that are recreated in exciting visual fashion. Only the seniors in the audience are likely distinguish any differences from the original recordings.
Eastwood spares no expense with the technical aspects and period details. Frequent collaborators cinematographer Tom Stern, production designer, James L. Murakami, and costume designer Deborah Hopper all give the film a look of the 1950s and ‘60s at many levels. Stern ‘s photography almost drains all the brighter colors from many scenes to create a distinct look of an older time, much like what was achieved in Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby. While exciting and told in a dynamic fashion, Jersey Boys may have as wide of an appeal as the Broadway show, which is still performed live. Though the film was very well-acted and produced, the stylized falsetto harmonizing and cheesy lyrics are clearly relics of a bygone era.

THAT’S NEW
That's No Moon shines a light on their new album BY RICKY SNIEGOWSKI
HYPERION REVIEW
T
hat’s No Moon’s new record is out of this world in more ways than one. The CU band’s new full-length release, Hyperion, is a concept album with cosmic travels and heroics. The band will be playing a release show for Hyperion on June 28 at Mike 'N' Molly’s. buzz had the chance to talk with founder and drummer Kyle Prillaman about the band's upcoming show and new album. »buzz: You have a new album coming out: Hyperion. Is there anything you’d like to talk about with that? »Kyle Prillaman: Sure. It’s essentially a concept album. Which is kind of interesting because no one’s really doing concept albums. It’s something that our lead singer Ben Wilson wanted to do. He had the idea for a really long time, so we figured, “Why not?” He actually just gave me a little blurb about it, if you want me to read it: “The album is about a group of people being forced to deal with their fragile humanity while trying to save the human race from a dying planet earth. Their journey takes them to the far regions of the solar system, which also forced them to deal with the extreme conditions of deep space exploration. It’s pretty fucking stupid, and we hope you like it.” »buzz: It sounds interesting to me. »KP: Yeah. I don’t know if you get the Star Wars reference in our name, but we’re all into science fiction in general, so this is something that resonates with us all. »buzz: Did you do most of the production on your first album? »KP: Yeah, we kind of had a cool situation. At the time that we started recording for that album, I was interning at Earth Analog studio (in Champaign). We basically had free studio time through that album, so we got to go out there and do what ever we wanted for the most part. Unlike a lot of other bands, we weren’t constrained to watch the clock. That was really cool. I wasn’t producing it, like writing all the music for it. I was producing it like, “We’re going to use these instruments, or this microphone, or mix it in a different way.” We all write the songs collaboratively, but Ben Wilson is really the mastermind behind all of it. He writes the lyrics and everything. He’s definitely the main artistic influence. »buzz: You have your album release show at Mike 'N' Molly’s on the twenty-eighth. Are you friends with those other bands, Daukis and Cassisus? »KP: I know some of the guys from Daukis. I don’t think I know anybody from Cassius. And there’s

another band that was added called Rusalka. They are a band that some of my older bands used to play with a bunch back in Champaign. »buzz: Are you familiar with the band Minus the Bear? »KP: I just saw them play in Chicago last weekend.
“WE ALL WRITE THE SONGS COLLABORATIVELY, BUT BEN WILSON IS REALLY THE MASTERMIND BEHIND ALL OF IT. HE WRITES THE LYRICS AND EVERYTHING. HE’S DEFINITELY THE MAIN ARTISTIC INFLUENCE.”
»buzz: Really? They we’re the band that came to mind when I listen to you guys. Do you guys get that comparison a lot? »KP: It’s awesome that you say that, because when I started the band, I made this huge grand statement and I said: “I’m going to make a band that sounds like Minus the Bear and The Shanks put together.” That’s what I was totally shooting for. That’s awesome that you got that reference. But we don’t get that one a lot. We get a lot of Motion City Soundtrack, for some reason. I think because of the vocals. We get Rush sometimes, too. Catch That’s No Moon this Saturday at Mike ‘N Molly’s with Daukis, Rusalka, and Cassius. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show costs $7.
there was any doubt in That’s No Moon, it’s about to go awayfar, far away. The CU dance-pop band’s sophomore release, Hyperion— a concept album on space exploration to save the human race—capitalizes on a well-thought out songwriting process and delivers an album heavy in both force and pace, but layered with heart-grasping vocal melodies from frontman Ben Wilson. Standout tracks like the fast-paced “Lunacity” and the dance-inciting “Jet Set” show off a matured writing style that surpass the band’s previous efforts on its self-titled debut, while “Kathryn” (previously released via Heirship Records’ Crashing the Heirship compilation) shoots synths out at a speed that both sound and feel like you’ve become an F-Zero pilot in just under the three minutes the song whips by. The quality of the band’s second album is enough to give That’s No Moon an early lock on one of the best CU releases of the year, but there’s more to the concept album than just its addictive sound. Hyperion rejuvenates a genre infamously stereotyped and tossed under the umbrella with Warped Tour and bands with high-pitched frontmen. But on That’s No Moon’s second album, Wilson and Co. take a drive towards pop-punk and then wildly divert at the last minute. The album’s detailed production already excuses the band for the nearly three-year gap between its first and second albums, but Wilson’s 10-song spanned storytelling through both lyrical concepts and auditory imagery prove the album was worth every second to make.
FOOD & DRINK
BBBBQ 2014 Alongside three stages and over 13 barbecue vendors, the blues are back in town BY AMIRAH ZAVERI
Used with permission from Memphis on Main
All
the best parts of summer are alive in Champaign this weekend, as one of the city’s hallmark events—the Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival—brightens up the end of June with the sort of street party CU deserves. This year marks the festival’s third incarnation in its new location, having moved from Urbana’s Main Street to the current spot in the Champaign City parking lot at Walnut and Washington streets in 2012. The cross-city switch up came about as the event’s growth from 2,000 attendees in 2008 to nearly 35,000 in 2011 demanded a larger long-term space. With nearly 60,000 attendees taking part in 2013, the move was certainly justified, with BBBBQ taking advantage of the downtown area’s wealth of parking and other nightlife. In that very space, the festival lives up to all its name offers and more, with 2014 looking to be the best year yet on all fronts. Looking at the music lineup this year, big names in the blues industry such as Buckwheat Zydeco, Curtis Salgado and Nikki Hill are set to perform, along with other notable names. The music section of the two-day long festival will be comprised of three stages: The Miller Beer & 105.9 Champaign Main Stage, Central Illinois Bank & Hot 105.5 Stage and FE Moran & ABC News Channel 15 Kids and Family Area. The main stage is where the majority of prominent bands will perform throughout the weekend, while the other two stages are a mix of music and other activities. Nikki Hill, an up-and-coming star, is a must-see at this year’s blues festival. Bubbling with charismatic energy, a multidimensional voice and the talent to flawlessly perform several genres of music—including rock, country blues and gospel—Hill is a knockout. One of the other biggest performers this weekend is Buckwheat Zydeco, a legend in the blues industry and one of the few zydeco artists to gain mainstream recognition, for his exceptional artistry and sound. Performing since the 1970s, his sound and performance
is still fresh, high-powered and channels classic zydeco rhythms. Zydeco has performed with Eric Clapton, U2 and at the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics. Albert Cummings decided to pursue his dream of becoming a professional musician at 27 yearsold. While still being a latecomer to the music industry, Cummings has achieved moderate recognition for his abilities as a blues guitarist and singer. His style is country blues with tinges of invigorating funk and rock 'n' roll mixed in. Curtis Salgado, another big name in the music industry, is a Portland, Ore. established blues, R&B and soul singer-songwriter. Starting off in the late 1960s, Salgado’s style ranges from smooth, easy listening to tunes fit for a funky dance party. Blues Revue states: “Salgado is one of the most down-toearth, soulful, honest singers ever.” With a name like The Flaming Churros, it leaves a certain curiosity hanging in the air to what this band is truly all about. This local high school band hailing from Illinois is a mix of rock, funk and classic blues. The Blue, Brews and BBQ Festival will be one of their first professional performances as a band. Come out and give this rising band some support! Though not alliterative enough to fit the festival’s title, BBBBQ has also thrived through its partnership with the Dinosores Motorcycle Club, who will be hosting the biggest bike show in the state for the third consecutive year at the festival. Trophies and a $300 prize go to the best bikes in the Vintage, Touring, Metric, Chopper, Custom, and Stock categories, as well as a Participants’ Choice Award, while the overall winner takes home a $600 prize. At only $10 to enter, you can bet on the competition drawing bike enthusiasts—as well as some breathtaking machines—from all over the state. The show joins the club’s merchandise booth as well as one for Make A Difference, which will be supporting the Chez Family Foundation Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education. For those
looking to take a break from the stages and survey some fantastic food. Other amusements slipping outside the festival title’s description include a kids and family area for younger patrons, which includes inflatable ride, face painting and a “future stars” stage. Additionally, the focus on presenting the community's artisanal vendors is hard to ignore, with shops like Fragmented Time, Cookie Lee Jewelry and Bob’s Wood Shop heading up a selection of local merchandise on display. The titular "brews" of BBBBQ come from a partnership with Miller Lite and the support of the city council, who allow temporary liquor licenses for vendors to sell alcohol on public property during the festival. Beyond the festival mugs filled to the brim with cold beer, patrons can look to downtown Champaign’s array of bars to get in on the weekend’s festivities. Nearby, Memphis on Main has the distinction of being the official festival venue for the weekend, featuring drink specials and an official after party performance each night. Wedge Tequila Bar & Grill, meanwhile, is offering $5 lime margaritas during the duration of the festival—just the ticket if you’re looking to escape the summer sun and cool off. For those who get inspired by the day’s musical performances, Bentley’s Pub is offering karaoke and drink specials on Saturday night, just the perfect combination to bring out your inner blues singer. While live music and booze makes for as good a time as any, the real meat of the festival for any foodie comes from BBBBQ’s vibrant selection of barbecue. Chester’s BBQ, a local, award-winning catering company, beckons attendees with its smiling pig logo and membership in the Kansas City Barbecue Society, while Mamma D’s Smokehouse boasts custom smoked meats and their “famous” smoked chicken and turkey breasts. Rajun Cajun goes for the downhome route, serving homemade food with a kick, while Smoky
House BBQ prides itself on using 100% hickory and Hickory River Smokehouse serves its smoked and grilled delights in the Texas style. Po’ Boys BBQ & Pizza, Holy Smoke Barbecue and King Biscuit BBQ round out a selection of ribs, brisket and pulled pork that's sure to delight newcomers and aficionados alike. The festival, however, is not all just about the brisket and the pulled pork: other food stands and food product vendors round out the culinary side of the weekend’s offerings. Majave Hot Sauce, Volcanic Peppers and Bigfat’s Hot Sauce kick things up a notch with their respective, tastebud-tingling sauces and rubs sure to inspire the delicious creations of home cooks. The flavors might prove a bit more severe than the sweet, hickory goodness on show but are just the thing to clear the sinuses and surprise the palate. On the sweet side of things, Lemonade Factory gives just the tangy delight to quench the thirst of those forgoing the festival’s brews, while Wayne’s Kettle Corn serves up a crunchy snack. Lastly, Ice Cream & More rounds out BBBBQ’s inspired assortment of summer food favorites with a frosty treat. With an arsenal of booths and blues that certainly merits visits on both days of the festival, it’s not unrealistic to predict an even higher attendance than last year. BBBBQ’s name might get right to the point of the festivities but always maintains the spirit of community unity that has seen it grow to over thirty times its first crowd. No matter the taste in food, drink or entertainment, CU’s funkiest festival is sure to satisfy. The Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival runs on Friday, June 27 from 4 p.m. until midnight and on Saturday, June 28th from noon until midnight. The event is free to attend (though promoters encourage a $5 donation at the gate). More information on the festival can be found at http:// bluesbrewsandbbqfest.com.

Urbana Free Library was established on July 2, 1874, meaning its 140th birthday is almost here. In order to commemorate the 140 years of support from the CU community, the Urbana Free Library is having a year-long celebration. The library’s birthday season kicked off on Sunday, June 22 with its 140th Birthday Bash with the local musicians of Don’t Ask. Don’t Ask, which is made up of Frances Harris, Sara Sasaki, Amanda Ramey, David Garcia, Michael Meadows and Michael Shapiro, put on a wonderful show—they even did a cover of Nirvana’s "Smells Like Teen Spirit," which is pretty awesome coming from a Klezmer band of four string instruments and a drum. Not a single body was still: Heads nodded, toes tapped and hands clapped. Many people even danced, taking Harris’ “movement encouraged” speech to heart. There was Cherry Alley iced tea, which was made by the library’s café just for the occasion, and birthday cake for all to enjoy. The celebration was a success, with a guest telling Executive Director Celeste Choate that library doesn’t look a day over 130. It is not unusual for the library to commemorate this milestone. Associate Director Kathy Wicks said that when the library’s 125th birthday came around, a similar schedule was ar-
8 buzz June 27- July 3, 2014
ranged in the form of a series of events and one specific event on a Sunday afternoon. However, this isn’t an annual chance to pat themselves on the back, as Choate explained: "Having (a year-long commemoration) is reflecting back on our taxpayers and patrons" and the "great thankfulness" the library has for them. And, people have to admit, 140 years of cyclical giving (the community to the library, the library to back to the community, repeat) is pretty impressive. “With an institution, every five years tend to be benchmarks,” Choate said. "I expect when we hit 150 years, we will be doing this all over again!" The birthday series will include exhibits, displays and features, both online and in the library. These events will be reviewed on a monthly basis. "Nothing is concrete," Wicks said about the events following Sunday’s bash. However, she says that all library staff members, who are "very, very enthusiastic," are planning them. Wicks says it is not uncommon to be stopped by a staff member with an idea for an event. The birthday celebration is a chance for the Urbana Free Library to show its supporters what exactly they are supporting. Wicks, Choate and the rest of the staff want the community to know that the library is here for them, just like they have been there for the library. Part of

this is showcasing its perhaps hidden treasures. Wicks and Choate explained that, as a part of the birthday celebration, they will be highlighting the library’s lesser-known departments and services, like its business and agencies library cards and the study and conference rooms available by scheduled and walk-in appointments. Wicks said that many people also might not be aware that they can access the 10-year-old Champaign County Historical Archives—which recently had a birthday of its own—through the library, both online and offline. “The library has an amazing collection (of books), but it’s much more than its collection,” Choate said. The Urbana Free Library servers many purposes: it is just as fun of a place as it is "research-y." As a part of the festivities, the library staff is also asking frequenters and one-time visitors alike to tell it why they love the library. The submission form is located on the library’s site, http://urbanafreelibrary.org, giving people the chance to have their submissions posted on the library’s website, as well as special birthday bulletin board in the building. Even though Choate has only been with the Urbana Free Library for a few months and Wicks has been with it for 24 years, they both agree that community is what makes the place so great.
When Choate was interviewing for her current position, she was told that the Urbana community is like an onion: It has many layers. As cliché as that may sound, Choate finds it to be true. Choate sees so many different people come in everyday: "What you see is the community coming together, and it’s very powerful," she said. "The library is built on community support," Wicks said, and that is what the 140th yearlong celebration is all about: giving back to the community and thanking it for all of its support. Both Choate and Wicks agree that the library would not be what it is today without its community, partnerships, The Library Foundation, Library Friends and the library’s Board of Trustees. This board of dedicated volunteers is appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council for three-year terms. The library is also grateful for the volunteers from the University’s Graduate School of Library and Information Sciences who help with the library’s electronics. "We are grateful for their leadership and unwavering support." Choate said. For more information about the library’s festivities, history or services, call 367-4051 or visit its website.

THE STATION THEATRE’S NEXT ARRIVAL buzz chats with Maxwell Tomaszewski about the premiere of Orphans at Urbana’s Station Theatre BY MELISA PUTHENMADOM
S
tation Theatre, home to the Celebration Company for over 40 years, was a Big Four railway passenger station until the mid-1950s. Since its conversion into an independent dramatics theatre, year-round performances have lit the stage and attracted immeasurable talent. This season, the Station Theatre is premiering Orphans, written by Lyle Kessler and directed by Timothy O’Neal. Orphans centers on two brothers living in a dilapidated row house in North Philadelphia. The elder, Treat, turns to petty thievery to support his seemingly simpleminded younger brother Phillip, whom he keeps bound to the house. One night, Treat returns after kidnapping Harold, a man who quickly proves to be more than what he seems. Maxwell Tomaszewski, who is cast as Phillip, describes the show as “(exploring) love, abandonment, courage, betrayal... the usual gamut of dramatic themes! And it will hopefully prove to be as funny as it is moving and heart-wrenching.” Tomaszewski has appeared in several productions at the Station Theatre. “My first performance at the Station,” he said, “was in The Lieutenant of Inishmore by Martin McDonagh, directed by Rick Orr. Coy Wentworth (who will be playing Treat) was incidentally also in that show. Since then, I’ve performed in six more shows at the Station. Some of my favorites were more recent roles: as Spike in Durang’s Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike (dir. Rick Orr) and Brandon Hardy in Good Boys and True (dir. Thom Schnarre) by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.” When asked how this show compared to others he’s done at the Station Theatre, he said, “Orphans is proving to be a very interesting challenge. Phillip is a very strong character, yet vaguely defined in some ways. Moreover, he has an extremely unique background, literally house-bound for most of his life, due to his brother’s overbearing protectiveness. “I’ve been spending a lot of time imagining these circumstances and building a framework around them, but it’s not easy,” Tomaszewski said. “ Especially when bearing in mind the need to balance the serious aspects of this show with

its magical realism and humor. Phillip is not a normal person, but he is also not a caricature, and his circumstances—as fantastic as they become—are experienced as reality.” Described as a hybrid of 20th century Realism, Pinter-esque absurdism and Shakespearean tragedy, Orphans is best understood in the tradition of Magical Realism, a genre that uses fantastical elements blended into a realistic atmosphere in order to access a deeper understanding of reality. Kessler’s unique approach is something critics have noticed since the debut of the show in 1983: T.H. McCulloh of the Los Angeles Times calls it “just as wise and knowledgeable about the human condition” as Tennessee Williams and “also as theatrical as Williams. Kessler has something very important to say, and he says it in terms we can’t ignore.” The closeness of a small stage lends perfectly to conveying Kessler’s deeply emotional message. Despite having only three cast members, Tomaszewski notes that “a production of this size is well suited to the intimate atmosphere of the Station.” “This is certainly one of the smallest casts I have worked with,” he said, “excepting The Velvet Rut, which had a cast of two... Overall, some of the benefits of a small cast include less down time, opportunities for very concentrated scene/relationship work and a less crowded green room!” Self-described as “an indelible part of the cultural fabric of East Central Illinois,” the Station Theatre and its productions appear deeply invested in bridging the gap between scriptwriter, performer and audience. It’s no surprise that they approach their scripts with a perfect balance of dedication and humor. “I expect to be putting in very late hours at the Theatre over these next few weeks,” Tomaszewski said. But he seems to look forward to the challenge. Orphans will premiere at the Station Theatre at 8 p.m. on July 3 and run through July 19. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.

THROUGHOUT THE DECADES: SELECTED STUDENT ARTWORK FROM PERMANENT COLLECTION Sunday, June 29; 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Giertz Gallery at Parkland College; free
Constantly growing and evolving with annual acquisitions since 1971, Parkland College’s Fine and Applied Arts Department has committed to purchasing artworks created by students from the annual Art & Design Student Juried Exhibition. A wide range of art has been collected over time, providing a visual history of the breadth of the Art and Design program. The works on exhibit exemplify just a few of the many works in the Permanent Collection that span over four decades.
