NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS SummerFest moving to MoonDance amphitheater SummerFest, the annual summer outdoor theater event, will be moving to the MoonDance at Midnight Pass amphitheater in the Beaumont Circle for its next string of productions in 2014. Since 2007, the organization was held at the UK Arboretum. In the previous years, SummerFest crews would have to assemble a raised stage for the summer run, and then a different set for each production. MoonDance comes furnished with a covered halfshell stage, and will give the staff one less weather-related variable to negotiate and more energy and resources to focus on the stage set. “We’ve been looking for awhile to raise the production values of our shows, and it’s very difficult when you’re building from scratch in the middle of a field,” executive director Wesley Nelson said. “We had been saying for quite awhile, ‘If we only had an outdoor facility, that would be fantastic.’ We’ve been saying that for years. After last summer’s production of “Peter Pan” had poor ticket sales due to rainy weather, a SummerFest sound designer mentioned MoonDance as a possible new location for productions. Nelson had never been to the new facility, which was constructed in 2010 by developer Andy Haymaker. Along with the permanent stage, the MoonDance facility also comes equipped with a designed seating arrangement, and Nelson said SummerFest will still offer blanket and chair general admission seating. Though, because MoonDance only has a seating capacity near 1,000, Nelson said organizers may have to deal with sold-out shows . “One of the new things that we will have to be prepared for with this space is that it will be possible for us to sell out,” he said. “In the Arboretum, you could seat people as far as the eye could see because there weren’t any boundaries. With a space like this, because it is a permanent structure, there will be capacity boundaries.”
Open Gates to the Bluegrass Garden Tour, are available for grant applications for environmental and beautification projects in Fayette County for 2014. Projects that aid in protection, conservation and enhancement of natural resources and civic beauty are encouraged. Funds are not available for private use or for profit businesses.

Miles Meehan is the founder and director of Stage Right Acting, which will begin hosting performance- and set-based classes in January.
THE CURTAIN GOES UP ON STAGE RIGHT ACTING
BY CYNTHIA ELLINGSEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
P
rofessional actor Miles Meehan plans to bring a little bit of Broadway to Lexington. Meehan is the founder and director of Stage Right Acting, a Lexington-based performing arts training company for performers of all ages. Starting in January, Stage Right Acting will of fer professional classes in scene acting, scene study, improvisation and musical theatre. Meehan plans to bring in Broadway performers, agents and industry experts from across the country to Lexington to give locals the opportunity to participate in workshops from professionals in the field and get a real-life glimpse into the world of entertainment.
“I want to bring a level of professionalism mixed in with a really good atmosphere,” Meehan said. “Lexington is a beautiful city with a lot of talented people. I want to promote a healthy per forming arts community. I think we have the talent in Lexington to do good things but also to help students beyond Lexington.” A Lexington native, Meehan got his start performing in shows at church. By the age of 7, he booked a principal role in “Lawn Dogs,” a film with Sam Rockwell and Mischa Barton. He spent the next several years performing in regional commercials and musical theatre, eventually winning a role in the Broadway touring company for “Beauty and the Beast.” In the 10 months of playing Chip, the teacup in “Beauty and the Beast,” Meehan developed life-long relationships in the

industry, experienced the thrill of live performance and received a crash course in all that’s expected of an actor. He realized that his experience with the arts didn’t just teach him how to develop skills for the stage, but skills to live a full life, lessons he plans to share with his students. “It’s important you’re a good person, and it’s important you have a really good attitude,” he said. “When you’re doing a show with somebody every day, when you’re doing a national tour and traveling with people every day, they don’t want people who are drama-filled. They want people who are good people, who are dependable and are nice.” This lesson helped formulate the mission statement for Stage Right Acting, which puts an emphasis on developing talented performers and nurturing a posi-

tive environment. Personal growth is a topic that links in with Meehan’s background in psychology. He received a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Kentucky before studying Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. During this time, Meehan also invested four years teaching drama, Bible and Spanish at the Christian Home School Co-Op. He found he had a knack at teaching drama, not just performing it, and the idea for Stage Right Acting was born. Stage Right Acting launched as a oneweek intensive per formance camp this past summer. The camp took place upstairs in the Palomar Neighbor hood Clubhouse and was marketed simply, through Facebook and word of mouth. The response was favorable, and students

This form of theatre does not have any lines or props, but challenges participants to invent the scene, the environment and the relationships as they go. Meehan feels this for mat is incredibly valuable in ter ms of teaching students skills in areas of leadership, confidence and teamwork, both onstage and of f. “You’re not just lear ning skills in improv, you’re lear ning life skills, as well,� Meehan said. “The biggest thing is always having the other person’s back onstage. You always ‘Yes’ the other person, is what we call it, you never put them in a bad situation where they won’t succeed.� Due to the success of the improvisation camp, Meehan felt confident moving onto the next stage of developing his business, staging a musical for primarily home-schooled kids.

Although these classes will be based on performance technique, Meehan plans to continue building of f of the life lessons taught in this summer’s improvisation workshop. He plans to train students to develop skills in performance, but also skills that will be helpful with their “schools, workplaces and families�. “That’s a big thing about Stage Right Acting,� Meehan said. “W e’re not only developing quality performers, we’re hoping to develop quality people, as well.� Southsider Magazine January 2014

2013 GoodGiving Guide Challenge:
THE FINAL STRETCH A
s of Dec. 12, this year’s GoodGiving Guide Challenge had passed the $900,000 mark, as a combination of nearly $700,000 from over 3,000 donations and over $207,000 from “challenge prizes” – that’s a lot of money, but it is still shy of its ambitious goal of raising $1 million on behalf of 108 regional nonprofits. Launched as a partnership between Smiley Pete Publishing, this magazine’s parent company, and Blue Grass Community Foundation, the online fundraising project is designed to make donating to area nonprofits easier , and to encourage more members of the under -35 community to get into the habit of giving to community organizations. This is the third annual GoodGiving Guide Challenge. The first year , the initiative had a goal of $200,000, and last year’s challenge had a goal of $400,000. The GoodGiving Guide online campaign, which also included a printed booklet
with detailed infor mation about all of the participating or ganizations, will remain open until 11:59 p.m. Dec. 31, when it will close for the season. In the following pages, we have condensed the basic infor mation about all 108 nonprofits, with an update (as of press time) about the amount each has raised thus far . If you haven’t already done so (or if you have and feel the urge to do so again), on behalf of all of the GoodGiving Guide Challenge or ganizers, we urge you to visit www.goodgivingguide.net and help make this year’s initiative a success. But more importantly, we ask that you help these great nonprofits enrich our communities through their wide array of services that are made possible by your donations. Visit www.goodgivingguide.net to lear n more about the 108 or ganizations involved in this year’s challenge, as well as to see up-to-date infor mation about upcoming challenges to give your buying and donating more bang for their buck.

MIC CHECK
AS A LOCAL MUSICIAN AND RADIO SHOW HOST, DEBRAUN THOMAS KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND THE MICROPHONE BY SARAYA BREWER SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE
L
exington music lovers may be familiar with DeBraun Thomas’ voice – not only his singing voice, which you may have heard during one of his numerous gigs over the years with music projects Relic Delic, Memory Lane Gang and the Smithdogs, but also his radio voice, which he has broadcast weekly for years as the host of WRFL radio show “Crunkadelic Funk Show.” A recent University of Kentucky jour nalism graduate, Thomas recently put the weekly radio show on the shelf in order to focus on juggling his music along with three part-time jobs, including a recent appointment as Assistant to the Operations Manager at local NPR af filiate WUKY. “Apparently all three of my jobs are very, very connected – I work with kids and I work with drunk people,” he said with a laugh, referring, respectively, to the work he does at the after-school program Boys & Girls Club as well as at the bar, restaurant and music venue W illie’s Locally Known. “At W illie’s, it’s very much similar to what I’m doing at WUKY, in that I do a little bit of everything.” Thomas said that working with kids helps keep him grounded, and keep his ego in check. “Playing in bars and going out – it’s very easy to get lost in all that,” he said. “Working with children kind of humanizes things and brings me back to reality, because you may think you may have a little bit of an ego when you’re out, and then a kid tells you ‘Hey Mr . DeBraun, you smell bad.’ “When I graduated school and I started working at the Boys & Girls Club, I told myself that I was no longer going to have a job that was not meaningful in some way,” he added. Thomas’ accomplishments at WUKY include spearheading a weekly segment called “Local Music Mondays,” which

highlights a different local musician each week; the segment, which airs on Monday mornings, has become an increasingly popular feature on the station’s website. Thomas says his goal with the weekly installment is to increase the station’s connection with the local music scene, as well as to increase public awareness of Lexington’s array of talented musicians. “I’m really trying to make it very diverse and not just focus on a particular genre,” he said. Recent artists featured have included Justin Wells, from Fifth on the Floor; hip hop artist Shiesty Khrist; and blues rock guitarist Eric Cummins. Another feather in Thomas’ public radio cap is hosting and producing an hour-long program called “The Unghosting of Medgar Evers.” The multimedia piece, produced at WUKY and available for public radio stations across the country to pick up, centers on a collection of poems that Kentucky poet laureate Frank X. Walker wrote about Evers, a civil rights activist who was assassinated in 1963, set against a backdrop of carefully curated songs from that year . Historical context provided by University of Kentucky professors Everett McCorvey and Gerald Smith are woven throughout the piece, which Thomas calls a “soundscape of 1963.”
“There’s only one song on the entire thing that was released after 1963, but it was recorded in 1963 so I let it slide,” Thomas said. “It’s basically a tribute to a man who doesn’t necessarily get the credit that he deserves.” Thomas – a Menlo Park, Calif., native who says he originally got into radio after learning about funk and soul icon Sly Stone’s history as a disc jockey – manages to find time to devote to his own music, playing regular gigs with local acts the Smithdogs and Memory Lane Gang and recording his first solo album at ShangriLa Studio. A longtime disciple of funk, soul and blues, Thomas says he’s been trying to expand upon his style, a task that has been encouraged through playing regularly with any number of talented local musicians, including Memory Lane Gang bandmates Daniel Mohler and Smith Donaldson. “Daniel and Smith are so good at what they do that half the time I’m trying to keep up,” he said. “They’re constantly pushing me to break this wall open. I think it’s made me a better musician to have to think about things in a dif ferent way, and I’ve also done a lot of growing up in the past two years.” “This town is full of guitar heroes – if you’re a guitar player, this is a great town
to try to lear n from people,” he added, rattling off a list of local role models that includes Tee Dee Y oung, Willie Eames and Ben Lacy. “Everyone has kind of rallied around helping me get better.” Thomas, who will perform on New Years’ Eve at Cosmic Charlie’s with locally or ganized Parlaiment Funkadelic tribute act Freak of the Weekend, recently took a few moments to answer a few questions for us. What are some of your favorite places in Lexington? I love playing guitar and writing in the Arboretum; T ee Dee’s on Monday nights; that house on the cor ner of Richmond Road and Richmond A ve (it just looks really cool); any stage in town I get the opportunity to play on; the view of the Lexington skyline from the 18th floor of the Patterson Office Tower. What do you feel is the best kept secret about Kentucky? Kentucky has a rich history connected to the Civil Rights movement. For instance, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr .’s brother Alfred Daniel “AD” King was a pastor at Zion Baptist Church in Louisville ... There was a march in Frankfort in 1964 that was peaceful; Dr. King gave a speech there.
Southsider Magazine January 2014
Then there’s the connection between Kentucky and Jackie Robinson – not only was (teammate) Pee W ee Reese from Louisville, but Albert Benjamin “Happy” Chandler was the second baseball commissioner in the MLB, and was commissioner when Branch Rickey signed Robinson to the Dodgers in 1947. What’s something most people don’t know about you? My name isn’t LeBron – ha! I have always had this obsession since I was a child of knowing about the lives of random celebrities. When I would lear n about a new person I would ask, “Are they dead or alive,” followed by, “How did they die?” Usually among my friends I’m the first to know when a celebrity passes on. I know, I am morbidly weird. What are you now listening to? My iPod is full of funk, soul, blues, jazz and reggae right now. The top three albums I’ve been listening to are: Allen Stone’s self titled album, Donny Hathaway’s “Live and In Per formance” and Jonny Lang’s “Turn Around.” Visit this article at our website for a link to listen to “The Unghosting of Medgar Evers.”
