CARBONDALE — Auditions for “The 39 Steps” will be at 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 21 and 22, in the Varsity Center for the Arts, 418 S. Illinois Ave. Three men and one woman are being sought to play multiple roles. “The 39 Steps” mixes a Hitchcock film classic with a spy novel and a dash of zaniness. It is a fast-paced blend of acting and frenetic stage craft filled with puns, mysteries, laughter and suspense. The play’s concept calls for the entirety of the 1935 adventure film to be performed with a small cast of four. One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay; an actress plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements; and two other actors play every other character in the show: heroes, villains, men, women, children, and even the occasional inanimate object. Show dates are Dec. 6, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15. A script is on reserve at the Carbondale Public Library for those who would like to audition. Contact the director at catherine@fieldhughes. net.

Musical ‘Ragtime’ coming to McLeod Theater Oct. 24-27 CARBONDALE — “Ragtime” will be featured Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 24-27 in SIU’s McLeod Theater on the campus of SIU. The tale of the reshaping of America through the early 20th Century immigration experience tells the story of three families from different social and ethnic backgrounds and their search for opportunity, independence, happiness and the America dream. Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction in 1975, “Ragtime” has a book by Terrence McNally, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty. The story centers on three ethnic groups: African Americans, represented by Coalhouse Walker Jr., a Harlem musician; upper-class suburbanites, represented by Mother, the matriarch of a white upper-class family in New Rochelle, N.Y.; and Eastern European immigrants, represented by Tateh, a Jewish immigrant from Latvia. The SIU production is
directed by Tim Fink. Kevin Smith provides musical direction, and Chris Morehouse conducts the orchestra. Mark Davis, SIU dance faculty member, choreographs. Sets are designed by Logan Reagan, costumes by Elise Kulovany, lighting by Mark Varns and sound by visiting guest artist Dave Levit.

Believe in The Shield Roman Reigns and his partners play major part in WWE’s return to SIU Arena WWE Live
scaled-down road shows with minimal effects of the past, fans attending WWE’s return to SIU on Sunday, Oct. 20, will experience an atmosphere like that they see on television, complete with video screens and elaborate entrances. Among the crew coming to Carbondale is Roman Reigns, one of the young stars who have featured prominently in recent months. Alongside Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, Reigns represents The Shield, a powerful trio holding both the Tag Team and United States championships.

opportunities afforded to very few WWE rookies. The trio built an impressive win-loss record, going undefeated for several months. Making the feat even more impressive is the fact they weren’t just beating lower-tier competitors; they were in the ring facing off with top stars, including the Undertaker, Sheamus and Daniel Bryan. Reigns even scored a pinfall victory over John Cena, the top superstar in WWE and face of the company. “It was an absolute honor, but at the same time, we feel like we should be there, Reigns said. “I think if you look back and you see the type of magic we created with those guys, it speaks for itself. That’s where we intended on being, that’s where we are and where we intend to push it even farther.” In recent months, The Shield has shifted from doing battle with the company’s top heroes to focusing on defending the championships its members hold. As WWE Tag Team Champions, Rollins and Reigns have fought off all challengers, from The Usos to Team Hell No of Bryan and Kane. Lately, they have also been wrangled into an on-screen ideological power struggle between the McMahon-Triple H regime and a legion of fan favorite wrestlers led by Bryan, who has been cheated out of the WWE

Championship twice. The Shield has acted as a security force, of sorts, for the McMahons. As 2013 winds down, the focus shifts to the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, and Reigns said there will be a renewed effort to keep the titles safely around his and Rollins’ waists. While new teams emerge all the time, looking for their opportunity, Reigns made it clear it won’t be handed to them. “They’re going to have to do a lot more than decide they’re ready to climb the mountain,” he said. “They’re going to have to convince themselves they’re going to be able to beat us, and once they get to that
point, they’re going to have to step it up another notch to be able to compete with us.” When WWE comes to Carbondale on Oct. 20, it will be former Tag Team Champions The Miz and Big Show looking to dethrone the reigning champs. Reigns said he’s not worried so much about The Miz, but Big Show – standing at 7 feet and weighing 425 lbs. – is always a threat. Tickets to see that match and the rest of the card, including a match between Bryan and Randy Orton, range from $15 to $95 and can be purchased online at siusalukis.com or by calling 618-7258547. Reigns said live events
offer fans a chance to see the action close up, and while televised events like Raw and Smackdown have a more fast-paced atmosphere, fans at the live events get to see more of their favorite stars. “If you want an opportunity to see the Shield beat some butt, or maybe get our butts beat, who knows, that’s what we do,” he said. “We’ve been all over the world, but we’ve never been (to Carbondale), so it’s going to be a great opportunity to tear the place down, blow the roof off. It’s going to be a great night.” adam.testa@thesouthern.com 618-351-5031

music executives caused him to quickly pack his bags and leave Music City. “I never have been politically correct,” he said. “I never enjoyed the business of country music. I don’t understand it. I just enjoyed playing. I love getting on stage and putting on a show for the people.” From roughly 1995-2010, Haggard performed country gospel in churches throughout the nation. Today, he tours, playing a combination of his own music and the tribute show. He recently played a package show with Moe Bandy and Gene Watson. He has a steady gig he plays 10 months a year in Arizona, mainly for a captive audience of “snowbirds.” Haggard isn’t a fan of today’s turbo charged brand of country music. “It’s glorified pop music that all sounds the same. My dad has told me many times that if he was a new artist just getting started today that he would never make it. He wouldn’t sell out and neither will I. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” Haggard said. “The great song is the missing element. There is nothing being recorded today that will stand the
test of time.” Surprisingly, Haggard feels social media is going to be very beneficial to traditional country music. “Kids care about music. They get on the Internet and hear an old John Anderson or Daryle Singletary song and it stirs their interest. They tell their friends and before long there is a cult following. Then, they dig back even farther and keep discovering great music. It takes all the politics out of it,” Haggard said. “Traditional country music as a whole is going to make a comeback.” Blend, perfectly harmonizing on the dowop classics of the 50s and 60s, will be the featured attraction tonight at Catskin Days. Cash Revisited, performing songs made famous by Johnny Cash, takes the stage Friday. Both shows are free on the downtown stage and start at 7:30 p.m. USA Championship Wrestling from Nashville, Tenn., will be in action at 8 p.m. all three nights of the festival. Admission is free.

The musicians that comprise SIWADE perform modern arrangements of rhythms based on traditional rhythms from West Africa. They play a variety of West African drums and other percussion instruments and bring audiences a fun, upbeat, high energy show. To mark SIWADE’s 15th anniversary, the ensemble will play two sets of arrangements of West African rhythms and songs, including a special homage to friend and teacher, master drummer Bolokada Conde from Guinea, West Africa. Joshua Buchheit, the ensemble’s leader, says Saturday’s show will continue SIWADE’s philosophy of always trying to “raise the bar” from its previous shows. “We are all working very hard to create an exciting experience for the audience, and to celebrate SIWADE’s 15 years of performing this music.

Renowned guitarist to present recital
Blues performer Max Hay plays at PK’s tonight
CARBONDALE — Internationallyrenowned guitarist Jerry Willard will be presenting a recital at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18 in SIU’s Old Baptist Foundation. Some have described the concert as “time traveling” since his instruments of choice are a 5-course 17th century guitar and a Romantic guitar built by Louis Panormo in 1831. He also plays a modern classical guitar. The chapel acoustics of the Old Baptist Foundation are expected to be the perfect venue for the three instruments. Willard has played guitar in Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall and stages throughout the world. Isaac Lausell, head of SIU’s guitar program, says Willard’s influence in the guitar can be felt worldwide. “In my travels I have not met yet a classical guitarist that has not studied one of Willard’s guitar books. It could either be the “Library of Guitar Classics” or “Bach Lute Suites for Guitar.” These are standards in the guitar’s literature.”
CARBONDALE — Songwriter and blues/Irish musician Max Hay will be performing at PK’s Thursday, Oct. 10. Hay, a touring singersongwriter and recording artist from Helena, Mont., plays blues, Irish, country, reggae, original and folk music for pubs, bars, restaurants, festivals, parties and events all over the world. Hay has entertained audiences throughout the United States, China, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
It wasn’t that long ago and we remember how it turned out. So there’s no way that “Captain Phillips,” the movie about the 2009 pirate attack on the M.V. Maersk Alabama, should be as surprising and entertaining a sea tale as it is. What happened was more heroic than you’d expect. The resistance of the crew, the resilience and craftiness of the pirates and the guile, level-headedness and bravery of the title character are so Hollywood that you half expect Bruce Willis heroics and an exchange of pithy trash-talk catchphrases. But this thrilling retelling was directed by Paul (“United 93”) Greengrass, an unfussy director with a talent for tension. And it was adapted from the real Capt. Richard Phillips’ book by Billy (“Breach”/ “Shattered Glass”) Ray. They’ve cooked up an engrossing, soberminded, fact-centered account, telling the story from parallel points of

‘Captain Phillips’ stars Tom Hanks as the captain of a ship attacked by pirates in 2009. The movie is based on a true story.
view of the two hard-case captains here. There’s Phillips, a veteran nononsense sailor, and a Somali pirate named Muse. Phillips has his job, his pushy bosses, his ways of dealing with an attack “by the book.” But so does Muse, a smart thug who has to answer to a murderous warlord if he doesn’t seize a ship and ransom it and its crew. “No al-Qaida here,” Muse grins, pointing his battered AK-47 at Phillips. “Just business.” Tom Hanks has built his career on a mastering the details that signal “competence” in any character, and he disappears into Capt. Phillips. Even in the informality of a cargo ship hauling relief supplies up and down the African coast, his captain is all business, demanding professionalism from the crew he’s just met. Barkhad Abdi is Muse, a gaunt figure with

expressive eyes who lets us see the wheels turning, just as Hanks does. Their performances never let us forget, as entertaining as their cat-and-mouse game becomes, that these men knew life and death were the stakes. Greengrass and Ray sketch in the shore side life of both men Phillips splitting his time between sailing assignments and a Vermont home with his wife (Catherine Keener) and kids, Muse, sleeping one off between hijackings in a shoreside fishing village whose fishing dried up thanks to the Asian factory trawlers that vacuumed up Somalia’s coast. Then comes the nervewracking chase. It starts with radar blips, a “security drill” that is not a drill. Music makes its first appearance beneath the action as the big bulk carrier turns to and fro, blasts geysers of water off
Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez (above) return in ‘Machete Kills,’ the second installment of writer-director Robert Rodriguez’s campy action series about a machetewielding Mexican government agent (Trejo), who is recruited by the president of the United States. His mission? Take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet. The movie also features appearances by Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Carlos Estevez, Charlie Sheen and Marko Zaror. The movie is rated R for strong bloody violence throughout, language and some sexual content. It opens Friday at Carbondale 8 and AMC 8 in Marion.
all sides to repel boarders, and the pirates bicker as they crash through the huge ship’s wake in a battered skiff with a balky boat motor. Then the boarding, a crew in hiding and the gamesmanship that kicks in even as one captain fears for his life and the other, wild-eyed on the mild narcotic khat, fears failure. Before you know it, the Navy’s involved and things turn even messier. Last summer’s Danish film “A Hijacking” did a great job of breaking down what happens when a ship is taken by a captain and crew ill-prepared to resist. Hanks is terrific at showing the ways this captain had the presence of mind to tip his crew to his every move, to counter
the badly-outnumbered pirates, keeping his head even as he lied, time and again. Greengrass fills his cast with so many unemotional, professional military folks that “Captain Phillips” can seem like a recruiting ad for Navy SEAL Team 6. There’s a sense of people knowing what they’re doing, with Max Martini, as the SEAL negotiator, embodying the physique and the calm, firm jock baritone of a soldier who has a procedure for how this will go down and the confidence to stick to that plan. Abdi, Faysal Ahmed, Mahat M. Ali and Barkhad Abdirahman are utterly convincing as hardened pirates, wide-eyed with
macho rage and just stoned enough to have the courage to take on this deadly work. Abdi plays no lip-smacking villain or doltish thug, but he lets us see Muse smirk as he tells Phillips “Look at me. I’M the captain now.” And Hanks lets himself get so deep into this ordeal that you believe the beatings, the horrific stress, the numb terror of that indentation on his forehead where the pistol barrel was pressed. The performances and Greengrass’ way with action immerse us and make “Captain Phillips” a tight, taut, edge-of-yourseat thriller even if you remember the ending. With a film well over two hours long, that’s high praise indeed.
