"Blues in the Night," Sheldon Epps' wonderful tribute to blues classics from legends including Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen, opened last week at Stage 3 TheatreCompany in downtown Sonora.

The play is set in a seedy Chicago hotel in the late 1930s.

Three women, alone in their hotel rooms, tell their stories

entirely through song. They are in turns melancholy, nostalgic, assured and resilient.

This production stars Michelle W. Allison as "The Lady From the Road," Jazmyn UpshawToney as "The Woman of the World" and Caroline Joy Walsh as "The Girl with the Date."

Allison is well known to Stage 3 audiences, having appeared in productions of "Fences," "Doubt," "Crowns," and as Billie Holiday in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill." As the some-

Sonora, California what jaded "Lady," who dwells increasingly on her memories, Allison sings stirring renditions of "Wasted Life Blues," and "Lover-Man." She also shows a playful aspect in the hilarious "Take Me For A Buggy Ride" and the energetic "Dirty No-Gooder's Blues."

Upshaw-Toney, who plays "The Woman," is making her Stage 3 debut. Upshaw-Toney has appeared in several productions at Stockton Civic Theatre.

She has been singing since the age of three, and has an enviable singing voice. She is fantastic in the lively "Stompin' at the Savoy," and in the earthy "Rough and Ready Man." Also making her Stage 3 debut, Walsh is completing her studies in vocal performance at Columbia College. She has been in the Columbia College Jazz Quartet since 2012. Walsh is endearing as the young girl who is still starry-eyed and hopeful about love. Her solos include a lovely version of "Willow Weep For Me," and an upbeat "Taking a Chance on Love."

The play is skillfully directed

THEUNIONDEMOCRAT dance moves. Choreographer, Nicole Firpo, a principal dancer with Central West Ballet, will perform the role of "The Dancer" in upcoming performances.

One element of the production where there is room for improvement is the sound design.

On several occasions, I had difficulty hearing some of the singers over the band. I am sure that this can be remedied by the

cast and crew in future perfor-

production. Whether highlighting individual performers, using

mances.

The minimalist set designed

by Hugo F. Martinez is very effective.

Itprovides plenty of roomforthe performers to dance and express themselves, yet stil levokes the bleak and solitary rooms where they wile away their time.

The lighting by Terry Smith is an important component of this

color to evoke mood, or rotating

Costume designer Bethany Deal did a great job on the 30s costumes. There were numer-

ous costume changes, and the well-designed attire worn by

harmonies are impressive.

There isa talented live band on stage with Dennis Brown on thepiano,Amy Mannon on drums and Michael Garmon on saxophone.

Brown, who is also the musical director, movingly sings a plaintive "St. James Infirmary," and joins the company in an expressive medley.

This production includes a dancer who adds an additional levelofinterpretation to the blues standards.

In his role as "The Man," Mahabir delivers some of the most rollicking musical numbers. He is marvelous in "Lucky So and So," and "Wild Women Don't Get the Blues." And, his dynamic rendition of "Baby Doll" nearly brings down the house.

Dana Plateau: 3aw-dropping and awe-inspiring a

Sharon Giacomazzi

After reading this, a few readers will want to hike Dana Plateau as soon as possible even though it's a grunt above timberline. Though relatively short, about three miles one-way, the trailstarts high, 9,800 feet, and reaches the northeast end at 11,600 feet. Tack on another 1,000feetto a higher point at the southwest end.

On the flip side, most readers won't hike it even at bayonet point. The vast majority of us simply don't work or play at 10,000 feet and above. More than the angle of ascent, it' s the altitude that makes the trip challenging.

Then there's attitude, which so often keeps us mortals from even thinking about something we imagine to be impossible.

You can do this; take it slow and rest often. Remember the Tortoise and the Hare?

Let's assume, whether you

are a conditioned high country hiker or a lowland novice, you can't wait to get your boots on the trail to the top of Dana Plateau.

I promise that you will be rewarded many times over for putting one foot in front of the other, for every racing heartbeat and for all the heavy breathing. I also promise that you will never forget the experience, no

matter what it cost you to top out. The panorama is one of the VERY BEST in the entire Sierra. Period.

For there in the air that an-

gels breathe, you will be walking on an unglaciated remnant of an ancient terrain that was formed 25 million years ago, that looks the same as it did before the Sierra uplifted to createthe sea ofpointy-topped mountains all around you.

The plateau is an island in the sky, two miles long and up to 3/4-mile wide. The landscape has aprimeval beauty,raw and powerful and wide open. Acres and acres of flat granite boulders dot the land, many with curious shapes and home to marmots and pikas.

If it's your lucky day, big horn sheep and large Sierra hares will be on scene. If you' ve forgotten your camera or the batteries just pooped out, you' ll kick yourself.

There are no trees, but from now until mid-August, springtime at this elevation, alpine wildflowersare profuse and enormously diverse.

These "belly flowers" offer a crash course in high altitude botany. They have only a few

Spend some quality time on this sky island. Be aware that

If you have time and zip left in your legs, walk to the southwest end of Dana Plateau for different but equally impressive views from the 12,600-foot vantage point. Mountain climbers startfrom here to ascend the face of Mount Dana, 500 feet higher than the plateau. Look down into barren and rocky Glacier Canyon and its lovely turquoise-coloredlakes created

a realm in nature unknown to the vast majority of humankind.

To heighten the moment and indelibly imprint this incredible piece of real estate in your heart, drink if in as if it were both the first and last time you will ever see this place.

Though youare not farfrom Highway 120 and Tioga Pass, you' ve walked into silent, uninhabited world away from civilization's distractions. A fervent plea: stay off your cell phone, and if it's with you switch it to mute! Allow it to fill you with its powerful, yet peaceful, character. Linger in the strangely beautiful landscape as long as you can before returning to the trailhead at Tioga Lake.

of the lake. Stay right where the trail splits behind the sign, which is sometimes not present.

Proceed uphill into the forest, following the north (left) side of Glacier Creek at about 0.8 mile from Tioga Lake. Cross the creek on a log bridge, though this year there may not be strong flow.

From here on, until you top the plateau, the journey is uphill and over talus. There is no DQicial trail, though you may come upon a use trail marked by cairns (stacked rocks). Just angle left and up (the heart and soul of this hike) to reach the plateau.

After a spacious field abundant with huge boulders, the ground levels out. The rim seems farther away than it re-

ally is.

I suggest walking to the north or northeast end of sloping Dana Plateaubefore heading to

the southwest end, especially if your energy is waning.

At some point, return to the Tioga Lake rest stop.

Nadine Pedron, author of "Lily's Own: Stories of a Childhood," will be this month's featuredreader at the Third Friday Open Reading.

The reading, held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, will take place at

"Little Dickens" is very much like Pedron was as a child: They both were born in Texas, lived on their grandfathers' farms, and both at the age of five moved with their families to California in 1938.

"All key events and chapters are drawn from real life experiences," Pedron said.

Like "Lily," Pedron loved school. Two of her teachers encouragedher to go to college, where she earned her bachelor'sdegree in speech pathology andteachers credential at

University of the Pacific. Later, she earned her master's and doctorate in San Francisco.

All her life she has taught kids "who just didn't fit in."

Pedron worked as a speech and language pathologist with handicapped kids on all grade levels. Additionally, she did clinical work through a hospital with elderly patients, and taught literary intervention to graduate students at Saint Mary's College.

Pedron also traveled to New Zealand to do post doctoral work training teachers in

intervention techniques with kids who can't read.

Published by Word Project Press, "Lily's Own: Stories of a Childhood," appeals to both seniors and young people alike who identify with Lily's spunk and determination.

"I wantpeople to care about the narrator, who feels that she doesn't fit in like everyone
