SIU theater department hosting auditions for two productions CARBONDALE — The SIU Carbondale Department of Theater will host auditions for two spring productions next week. Auditions for “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide when the Rainbow is Enuf” will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 16-17, at McLeod Theater in the SIU Communications Building. The director is seeking experienced actresses who dance or have strong movement backgrounds, as well as mid-career actresses who are physically fit and dance. All auditioners must prepare a three-minute performance monologue or poem, including lot of movement
and the use of a poetry. Callbacks will be on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 18-19, with rehearsals beginning Tuesday, Jan. 22. Performances are scheduled for Feb. 21-24. The Tony Awardwinning show blends poetry, dance, drama and music to create a portrait of the struggles and obstacles African-American women face throughout their lives. Auditions for Neil LaBute’s “Reasons to Be Pretty” are set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20, in the C.H. Moe Theater. Auditioners will read scenes from the script, which are available in the theater department office. Callbacks will take place following the auditions. There are roles
for two men and two women. This is one of LaBute’s most well-known plays, which tells the story of a man whose relationship explodes when he makes an off-handed comment about his girlfriend’s appearance. This propels his character into a journey that challenges his perceptions and leads him to self-realization about the value of physical appearance. Those interested in auditioning for either production can sign up at the theater department office between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. or by calling 618-453-5741. — Adam Testa
TRACES, a different kind of circus, coming to Carbondale CARBONDALE — The newest circus coming to town won’t bring with it elephants or even a big top. TRACES is a different kind of circus, a groundbreaking act blending together traditional elements with the high-energy atmosphere of a street performance in a showcase of emotion and physicality set to the music of popular acts such as Radiohead, VAST, Blackalicious and more. The show features creative direction by
Montreal-based 7 Fingers, or Les 7 Doigts de la Main and choreography by Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider. The show, which features awes-inspiring acrobats, was named one of the top 10 acts of the year by Time magazine and was featured on “America’s Got Talent.” The artists use a number of expressive forms, including music, dance, illustrations and less conventional stage elements like skateboarding and basketball, to leave a last
impression on fans of all ages. The show relies less on props than on the abilities of its performers, who appear to simply be a group of friends enjoying what they’re doing. TRACES will be hosted by SIU Presents! at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 17, at Shryock Auditorium. Tickets are $15 to $50 and are on sale at www. southernticketsonline.com or by calling 618-4536000.

Christmas displays her pitch perfect vocals on recent album release “Hymns of Heaven: First Love.” It contains 12 of her favorite gospel tunes, songs that ring through Southern Illinois churches every Sunday morning, like “Sweet Beulah Land,” “In The Sweet By And By,” “Eastern Gate” and “Precious Memories.” The album “On the Other Side” was released in 2010 and was her first new recording in seven years. It contains touching original “There is a Blessing (On the Other Side),” written by her daughter Jasmine, as well as reworked classics like “Jesus On The Mainline,” “Since I Laid My Burdens Down” and “Orphans of God.” Listening to her infectious voice, dripping with Southern charm and hospitality, it’s easy to tell why she has personally won six Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association.

Quartet Harpeth Rising finding success
BY ADAM TESTA THE SOUTHERN

rowing up, people often look ahead and begin planning their life goals by asking, “Where will I be when I’m 25?” By that time, most have finished their college education and began walking the path into the so-called “real world.” For Jordana Greenberg, life at 25 has taken a few likely unexpected turns. Born in Canada, her family moved to the small town of Paoli, Ind., when she was 8 years old. Not too long after, he parents enrolled her in violin lessons in Bloomington, Ind., which houses a widely renowned instructional program. From there, the violin became her passion. “It took over my whole life,” said Greenberg, violinist and co-lead singer of Harpeth Rising, a national touring quartet. Life would continue on, and when it came time for college, she returned to Bloomington for another musical lesson, pursuing a degree in classical music from Indiana University. There, she made several friends in the music program, including Rebecca Reed-Lunn, now Harpeth Rising’s banjo player. Greenberg and ReedLunn began touring as a duo, playing wherever they could perform and sharing

their gifts of music with the world. “We were doing a lot of traveling, having adventures after college, jamming with different people,” Greenberg said. They decided to live one of Greenberg’s dreams and move to Hawaii for a year. There, they wrote music and supported themselves by playing four or five different performances a night across Maui. When they returned home, they contacted two other college friends, Chris Burgess and Maria Di
Meglio, and the duo of Harpeth Rising had become a quartet. From there, things progressed organically. “We started playing more and more shows, and all of a sudden, we’d all quit our day jobs,” Greenberg said. Now, the quartet comes together to record music and tour. They released a debut album in 2010 and have followed it up with new releases in both 2011 and 2012. They will bring their tour back to Southeastern Illinois College for a 2 p.m.
concert on Sunday, Jan. 13. The free event will be in the SIC Visual and Performing Arts Center’s lower lobby. Harpeth Rising played at SIC last year, as well, and Greenberg said they’re looking forward to returning. “We had a really lovely experience last time around,” she said. “We had a blast. It was an easy yes when we were asked to come back.”

CDs Pop Future “Pluto 3D” ***1/2 Nayvadius Cash was the quiet hip-hop story of the year, as hits beamed in from his April debut, titled “Pluto.” Then came Nov. 27, and the rerelease, titled “Pluto 3D,” with three new songs and two remixes, attacked the Billboard charts. Pluto had surprising critical legs, too — I wish rap fans were this open-minded about Auto-Tune when Nicki indulges it. But I can’t accuse Future of selling out because he’s a newbie, can’t mock his singing because it’s entirely cloaked, can’t call his rapping a retread because it came from nowhere. Or rather, Pluto. Narrowly escaping some middle filler, only the unstoppable “Same Damn Time” and mindless “Tony Montana” come back to top the openers: “Parachute,” in which R. Kelly bungee-jumps onto you, and “Straight Up,” in which Future declares, “I’m-a go to Mars and take the baddest broad.” Easily more fun than Drake. Bonnie Bishop “Free” *** In the second song on “Free,” Bonnie Bishop sings about a woman who “ain’t no shrinkin’ violet.” You’d never mistake the Nashvillebased Texas native for
one, either, after you hear Bishop belt out this swaggeringly Stonesy rocker. And that’s not the only bracingly organic blast the raspy-voiced singer and songwriter delivers here: There are also “Keep Using Me” and “Bad Seed,” the latter fueled by slide guitar and pounding piano. The Game “Jesus Piece” *** The Game has titled this album “Jesus Piece,” and an African-American Christ graces the cover. That doesn’t mean Game has become a holy roller or that his newest work is ruled by religious imagery. Instead, it’s about going bad and loving God — how a rhyme-spitting MC can have a gangster lean while remaining spiritual. There’s an unadulterated bacchanalia of drugs, thugs, and carnality on “Celebration” and the barking “Ali Bomaye” untouched by the Holy Spirit. Yet Game’s struggle between staying street and keeping God in his heart (and the club) is clear on bumping, dippy cuts like “Heaven’s Arms,” when he strolls into the VIP area with “Part the Red Sea in red Louboutins, who the don?/ Packing heat like two LeBrons/ It keep you higher than heaven’s arms.” — McClatchy-Tribune News

Marlon Wayans isn’t quite done with making fun of scary movies A Haunted House Rated R for crude and sexual content, language and some drug use; starring Marlon Wayons, Cedric the Entertainer and Essence Atkins; directed by Michael Tiddes; opening Friday at University Place 8 in Carbondale BY ROGER MOORE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
ORLANDO, Fla. — The new BET comedy series “Second Generation Wayans” begs the question: Have there really been only two generations of the professionally funny family that gave us “In Living Color,” the “Scary Movie” franchise and “White Chicks”? “I’m pretty sure there were some really entertaining Wayans before us,” says Marlon Wayans. “You know, some hilarious slave Wayans. They could’ve been in (Quentin) Tarantino’s movie (“Django Unchained”). Pickin’ cotton, and tellin’ jokes. That’s us.” At 40, Marlon is part of the same generation of Wayans that produced Damon, Keenan Ivory, Kim and Shawn. He has “always been the most talented” of the clan, says George Thomas, film critic for the Cleveland Examiner — capable of low comedy, but also of stealing film from the likes of Tom Hanks (“The Ladykillers”). Wayans’ latest function in the funny family enterprise is “A Haunted House,” an attempt to move on from the “Scary Movies” that he helped launch but which the family is no longer a part of. With the “Scary Movie” installments — begun as a response

Marlon Wayans returns to the horror-spoof genre with ‘A Haunted House,’ directed by Michael Tiddes and co-starring Cedric the Entertainer and Essence Atkins. The film opens Friday at University Place 8 in Carbondale.
to the “Scream” and “Nightmare on Elm Street” franchises — growing more watered down with each year, Wayans saw an opening for another parody. “There’s a fine line between that moment when you’re a fan of the movie, the first movie in a series maybe, or you’re a fan of a genre — and the first films in it are the good ones — and then the bad ones start coming along and you hate them,” Wayans says. “When I see common denominators, common situations, common characters — a genre of films or a series of films becomes all the same movie — that’s when I go ‘That sucks. But it’s funny that it sucks.’” That’s where he figures the “found footage” genre of horror is — “Paranormal Activity” and its many imitations. “By the time the recent ‘Paranormal Activities’ and the rip-offs came along, I said, ‘Wow. White people do some dumb stuff

in these freaking movies. You know what would be funny? If ‘Paranormal Activity’ happened to a black couple. Who would they call? What would go wrong with them?’” He couldn’t do much with the original found footage horror film — “The Blair Witch Project” — because “Black people don’t camp. We came from Africa. We know what’s in the woods.” But what if, say, a black couple had “thug cousins” they could call in a crisis? “That’s what I would do. And that’s funny, to me. There are things even a thug is afraid of.” Next up for Wayans is a costarring role in the comedy “The Heat,” with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. He plays Bullock’s character’s love interest. “We don’t have any love scenes. Or any chemistry, really. But I’m pretty sure that in my mind, they do the nasty. A man’s got to have hope.”

Raise the bar. {Italian Village did.}
Ryan Gosling is Jerry Waters, the cynical detective/ gunslinger who will have to take sides, but is going to take some convincing. Anthony Mackie’s the knife-throwing street cop from the black side of town. Robert Patrick is the aged pistolero and holdover from the “real Wild West.” Michael Pena represents the city’s Hispanic underclass, a kid who needs to prove himself. And Giovanni Ribisi is “the brains,” the cop with the glasses and the Armybased knowledge of wiretaps. They’re a regular “Magnificent Six.” “Who’s the tomato?” That would be Emma Stone, playing the “dance-hall girl,” the mobster’s young moll “poached” by the handsome Jerry. “Zombieland” director Ruben Fleischer may not
do much with this pictorially that suggests “Western,” but he keeps the characters iconic, the morality straightforward and the action clean. Will Beall’s script is peppered with character “types” — gunsels with scars and World War II-vintage machine guns. Of course Jon Polito shows up, as he has in every gangster period piece since “Miller’s Crossing.” And Beall’s dialogue gives “Gangster Squad” an extra kick. Insults: “He’s got a smart mouth, but he’s dumb where it counts.” Compliments: “Push comes to shove, kid’ll stay behind his gun.” This “inspired by a true story” tale has much in common with an earlier Nolte fedoras-andfistfights cop picture, “Mulholland Falls,” named for a hillside where brutal cops sent
