DELANEY’S ON BROADWAY JOE SZYNKOWSKI FOR THE SOUTHERN
Stop in Delaney’s on Broadway and you’ll receive more than a great meal. Owner Pete Delaney and his family will also have outstanding service and a story or two to share as well. Family comes first inside Delaney’s. And as far as Pete and his wife Gail are concerned, their customers are just an extended version of the Delaney crew. “We like to show people that it’s a nice community even though it’s off the beaten path,” Pete said. “It’s worth the trip because of the folks you run into.” A mail carrier in Murphysboro by day, Delaney is a storyteller by night.

Outside The Box Music Festival starts Friday
PROVIDED BY JACOB AREA PLAYERS
Jacob Area Players presents ‘Here Comes the Cows’ JACOB — The Jacob Area Players will present a comedy for the whole family entitled ”Here Come the Cows” Friday and Saturday, March 28, 29, April 4 and 5. The play will be presented at 7 p.m. in the Christ Lutheran Gym. “Here Come the Cows” is set in the Mesa Soup Shack and Trading Post, located in the 1880’s Arizona Territory, when Mesa was nothing more than a sleepy little cow town. Widow Hopkins, who runs the trading post with the help of a sweet “stray” that she took in, has only one day to come up with $200 or her trading post will be sold by her cranky landlord. Meanwhile, Mandrake Mothdust and his dancing partner arrive in the midst of the worst sand storm in history and get stranded in the dusty little town. The villains will stop at nothing to get their hands on some local money.
In wanders prospector Grouchy Backwater, the crankiest man in town, and the scheming begins. Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children.
All proceeds from the play go to Christ Lutheran Church. For more information, call 618-534-7855.
CARBONDALE — The Outside the Box Music Festival comes back to SIU for its eighth season, March 28 through April 8. Admission to many of the 10 music performances is free. Coordinator and SIU composer Kathleen Ginther brought the event to campus in 2007 to help SIU become a venue for music and contemporary composers and ensembles. The festival is also designed as a way to introduce SIU musicians and music lovers to music that hasn’t always hit the mainstream of ensemble music. This year, Third Coast Percussion will perform “Resounding Earth,” a
piece written by festival guest composer Augusta Read Thomas. Ginther said the piece uses more than 300 pieces of metal. Ginther also invited Ben Hjertmann, an emerging composer only two years out of graduate school but with a growing body of work already to his credit. The SIU Wind Ensemble will perform Hjertmann’s “Catclaw Mimosa,” and will offer his “Donkey Rhubarb” composition as a world premiere at SIU. Outside the Box has a casual tradition of multimedia performance. The festival will again pair SIU filmmakers and SIU musicians. The SIU Improv unit, a
percussion-based ensemble led by Ron Coulter, a percussion faculty member, will provide live accompaniment to several short experimental films. The event will also feature a special music appearance from Eric Mandat, professor of clarinet and Distinguished Scholar. Frank Stemper, SIU’s composer-in-residence, and Ginther herself, a senior lecturer in music composition, will say farewell as they retire at the end of the spring semester.

Filmmaker screens ‘Your Day Is My Night’ Friday at SIU CARBONDALE — Documentary filmmaker Lynne Sachs will screen her award-winning feature film “Your Day Is My Night” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 28 in Morris Library’s Guyon Auditorium on the SIU campus. The film revolves around a household of immigrants who live in the heart of New York City’s Chinatown. The immigrants share their stories of personal and political upheaval. The film reveals the collective history of the Chinese in the United States through conversations, autobiographical monologues and theatrical movement pieces. Sachs strives to make films, videos, installations and web projects that explore “the intricate relationship between personal observations
and broader historical experiences by weaving together poetry, collage, painting, politics and layered sound design.” Her five essay films have taken her to Vietnam, Bosnia, Israel and Germany. Since 2006, she has collaborated with her partner Mark Street in a series of mixed-media performance collaborations called The XY Chromosome Project. Sachs teaches experimental film and video at New York University and lives in Brooklyn. A discussion moderated by Jyotsna Kapur will follow the film. There is no admission cost.

They get off with a scolding: “The only thing anybody in law enforcement has is their credibility.” That’ll teach’em. But then, the members of the team start meeting gruesome, spectacular deaths — by train, by nail gun. The movie spares us nothing, from the crime scenes to the grisly autopsies.
An Atlanta cop, played by British actress Olivia Williams (“An Education”) slinging a Georgia accent, may be out of her depth. But she persists in trying to get the surviving members to tell her who is doing this, and why. Ayer plays around with timelines, having the cop and the not-exactly-disgraced Breacher enter crime scenes which flash back to the actual events of the murder. Ayer throws a loopy chase through downtown Atlanta into the mix. And he and co-writer Skip Woods pour an enormous effort into the Budweiser-bullets-andstrip bars milieu that this “team” wallows in.
