Of bridges and elephants Veterans Memorial structure will weigh as much as a 39-mile line of pachyderms

If bridges were elephants, the under-construction Veterans Memorial Bridge would be almost 7,900 of the giant beasts. The bridge, which most folks are calling the Indian Street Bridge, will weigh about 149.4 million pounds when done. George Denti, project manager, said the National Geographic Society figures the average elephant

weighs in at about 9.5 tons. Since, he said, those elephants average 26 feet, that means it’d take a 39mile line of elephants to equal the weight of the bridge. Well, the opening’s not slated until October, but plans are under way. “We have begun monthly meetings with the local community and political groups to plan our grand opening,” Denti said. Most folks are still calling it the Indian Street Bridge. “We’ve set another span, called

beams, on the east side of the project,” Denti said. “We have removed existing and replaced the signal mast arms — out with the old and in with the new.” Those signal arms are on Mapp Road and Kanner Highway. “We are beginning the landscape work, including irrigation and pumps, concentrating on the west side,” Denti said. The Martin County Board of County Commissioners in 2011

S.P.A.M.MIN’ good fun Young engineers headed to St. Louis with a Frisbee-throwing bot By Patrick McCallister Staff writer pmccallister@yourvoiceweekly.com S.P.A.M. Robotics is getting set to defend its world title. Actually, Chomper will do most of the work with some computerized brains, a few wires, and a Frisbee disk. “We had to have a robot that could throw a Frisbee,” Rich Brooks, mentor, said. “We developed a scenario where we could throw a Frisbee 50 feet. There’re not too many robots that can accurately throw Frisbees that far.” After a lifetime of working in technology, Brooks helps the youths design and build the competitive robots. He got involved with S.P.A.M. Robotics five years ago when his son, Mitchell, joined the team. Mitchell is off to Florida State University now, but Brooks continued volunteering. About 30 S.P.A.M. members will be heading to St. Louis for the FIRST Robotics Competition

‘Shop Local’ campaign kicking off The county seat’s the starting place, but the goal is for Buy Local Stuart to become Buy Local Martin within a year. Although, there’s no set plan for what a countywide program might be named if and when it comes about. “If I spend a dollar at a local store, it has a three-time multiplier on the local economy,” Martin County Commissioner Ed Fielding said. Fielding said he’ll ask his fellow commissioners to approve a $6,000 to $7,000 appropriation to the nascent Stuart buy-local program to jumpstart its advertising efforts. The request would have to be done at a Martin

County Board of County Commissioners meeting. John Haddox, Palm City, said he’ll likely vote yes when given the chance. “I would support Commissioner Fielding’s request,” he said. “Stuart is a good place to start. I think that was a good platform to launch the program, but with the intention of spreading it countywide.” Fielding’s “three-time multiplier” estimate is that every dollar repeatedly spent at local businesses — instead of national and Internet retailers — generates up to a 300 percent increase in its affect on local economic activity. In other words, $1 cumulates to $3 of added economic value after it’s gone through enough local transactions. The model is often called “fiscal localism” and studies on it show a wide range of possible econom-

voted to name the 3,100-foot structure Veterans Memorial Bridge. The Federal Highway Administration is funding the $65 million construction through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The project was originally estimated to cost more than $120 million. However, due to the construction bust in 2008, the cost of building materials dropped significantly, and contractors generally lowered their bids. “Timing is everything,” Denti said. The project was slated to be finished by summer, but there have been some delays. Construction started in April 2011. When done, the bridge is projected to carry about 28,000 trips a day, relieving traffic from the Palm City Bridge. Additionally, the new bridge will help Martin poise to get some development going again. The Palm City Bridge has been overcapacity for about a decade, preventing some new construction. The foundations dip as much as 75 feet under ground to hoist the 8.5-inch thick riding surfaces about 65 feet in the air, giving boaters a minimum of 55 feet of clearance. In addition to four lanes with additional turning lanes at the ends, the bridge’s 120-foot girth will sport 10-foot shoulders for pedestrians and bicyclists.

www.YourVoiceWeekly.com Denti said building new bridges is uncommon. The Indian Street Bridge project became an international effort. While the concrete is made of materials found and processed right here in Florida, there’s equipment from Europe. “We have an erection device that’s called a beam launcher,” Denti said. “It was manufactured in Italy specifically for this job.” By a company named Deal. After making the beam launcher, Deal took it apart and shipped it to the Port of Miami. “They sent a couple Italian guys to help with reassembling it,” Denti said. The bridge spans a portion of the St. Lucie River that is part of the Okeechobee Waterway, a 1937 Army Corps of Engineers project that connected natural waterways to create a 152-mile shortcut across Florida. For the last couple months, workers were onto the superstructure, pouring the riding surfaces, called decks and setting the main stand girders. Beth Zsoka, public information officer, said there’s much interest in the new bridge. “We’ve been doing a lot of presentations at clubs and such,” she said. Regular updates and photos are at indianstreetbridge.com. For information about group presentations, call (772) 283-4323, or e-mail Zsoka at beth@qcausa.com.

It took the top spot out of 46 teams at the South Florida FIRST Robotics Regional Competition in March. Last year,

the team took the Robotics Competition’s international gold in the Galileo Division. That was the latest in a strong run of regional and international championships the team’s taken since 1998.

Advanced Learning Center at Indian River State College’s Chastain Campus, Stuart. Fellow Palm City team member Daniel Dugger, 15, said a childhood pastime got him interested in joining the robotics team. “I’ve been interested in electronics and software for years,” he said. “I like to take apart things and reverse engineer them, and put them back together better.” Daniel is in the 10th grade at Jensen Beach High School. He attends that school for an engineering program it has. Jade said that robotics is important for a number of reasons, but its ability to save human lives is chief among them. “I suppose the highest priority for robotics is to take over the areas where humans have the most danger,” she said. For example, Jade points out, robotics is rapidly evolving to create cars that can help drivers avoid and handle crashes. Planes, too, she said, are likely to increasingly have robotics that assist pilots in hazardous situations. Daniel said robots are likely to also join doctors in operating rooms and start performing simple surgeries within the next decade. Looking at what he expects will happen in robotics over his lifetime, he remarks, “I can’t imagine how far it will go and how ad-

Shooting with the stars Martin County girls’ lacrosse taking steps while playing the best By Patrick Bernadeau For Your Voice News & Views MARTIN COUNTY — During the April 2 dusk hours, the scoreboard at Bob Collins Stadium read “Visitors 16 – Tigers 1.” But as much as the result that evening suggests that the gap between the Martin County High School Girls lacrosse team and their opponent, St. Anthony’s High School from New York, is

as wide as the distance between the two schools, the Lady Tigers walked off the field with a feeling of encouragement. While it would’ve been nice to keep the score close and possible win the contest, plenty was taken away while sharing the field with the third ranked team in the Nike/U.S. Lacrosse National Top 25 rankings. “We played as hard as we possibly could and against a team like that, that’s all you can ask for,” Martin County head coach Bob Windsor said after their defeat to St. Anthony’s. “Ultimately,

neighborhood companies. Buy-local programs have been springing up across the country. While they take numerous forms, the idea is always the same: to get people shopping more at neighborhood businesses. There’s no one premier advocacy group promoting buy-local programs, but several groups and organizations do. Buy Local Stuart is supposed to roll out in April to May. The city of Stuart is sponsoring the effort, along with business organizations Downtown Stuart and Main Street Stuart. The city’s vice mayor, Troy McDonald, has spearheaded the effort. “It’s an awareness campaign making people aware there are local sources for products,” he said. McDonald said that the buy-local program’s aim isn’t to convince shoppers to abandon all purchasing at regional, national and Internet retailers, but to get them to spend at least 10 percent of their purchasing dollars with local businesses. Much of the campaign, at first, will be aimed at advertising the concept and participating businesses. It could expand to include shopper-reward and discount pro-

ROBOTS from page 5

grams in the future. The city has had some staff members work on the buy-local program, but hasn’t funded it directly. McDonald hopes to change that. “I believe we are going to appropriate some money, about $5,000,” he said. Fielding said Palm City resident Ed Maxwell, owner of Computer Station in Stuart, got (Fielding) and others interested in a countywide buy-local program that includes a web presence to help shoppers find neighborhood businesses offering goods and services they seek. In a phone interview, Maxwell said the buy-local idea is based on the very simple notion: “Together we stand, divided we fall.” He said a buy-local program can help independent businesses increase the power of their advertising budgets. “A very difficult thing for local businesses is even getting noticed,” he said. “They can’t compete with the large advertising of the big box chains.” Maxwell said that Mapp Road in Palm City seems to be the next logical place to head with the buy-local program after it’s established in Stuart. “A lot of us drive it frequently, but do we really notice the businesses along the way?” he said.

The fun won’t all be at the Supervisor’s Revenge Hole. For those good and lucky enough to get a hole in one at select par-three holes, there are prizes to make the joy even better. “I’ll be providing a Callaway golf package worth $2,500,” Young said. Coggin Motor Mall, Fort Pierce, is also sponsoring a hole-in-one hole. The winner will receive a Mercedes. The tourney will be a scramble format and have low gross and low net prizes. And … “We’ll have a closest-to-the-pin prize for men and ladies and a long-drive prize for men and ladies,” Young said. If that’s not enough, “A large

portion of our participants are going to win some raffle prizes,” Young said. “We gather up a lot of raffle prizes. We sell raffle tickets and people are able to win prizes, and some very nice prizes.” Carolyn Davi, the chamber’s executive director, said the tournament draws about 120 players annually. “We usually have a sellout crowd,” she said and added, “Everyone seems to love our golf tournament.” Deadline for entry is Monday, April 15.

The Palm City Chamber of Commerce is teeing off for its 19th annual Golf Tournament. “This year one of our designated holes will be the Superintendent’s Revenge Hole,” Steve Young, co-organizer, said. The Supervisor’s Revenge Hole will be the course superintendent’s chance to foul up everyone’s game with all the pieces of equipment he’s always wanted to

leave right where they were. “He will add obstacles to that particular hole,” Young said. “It’s a fun thing if you do make a good score on that hole despite the obstacles.” Young owns Golf USA, Stuart. He didn’t say how fun it was when a rake left on the green stands between a player and par. The game will be at the Monarch Country Club, 1801 S.W. Monarch Drive, on Friday, April 19. There’ll be a luncheon at 11:30 a.m., and a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the chamber. 3083

STARS from page 6 I think this was a great learning experience to be able to compete against a team with so much talent and plays the game at such a different speed.” This learning experience for the Lady Tigers continues the rapid growth of a lacrosse program that did not exist until 2009. It may take additional time for Martin County to reach the same heights as the best high school girls’ lacrosse team in the Northeast, but Windsor believes the best route to take to reach the top is the toughest one. “We are trying to play the hardest teams we can play to get to the next level,” Windsor said. “We’ve tried scheduling against the best teams around. To play against that caliber of competition, it can only make you better.” In addition to St. Anthony’s, in-state powers Vero Beach High School (Florida High School Athletic Association’s top-ranked Girls lacrosse program) and St. Thomas Aquinas High School (ranked ninth by the FHSAA), have scheduled games against the Lady Tigers. On Feb. 20 season opener,

Martin County dropped a close 11-10 St. Thomas Aquinas. One week later, the Lady Tigers suffered a 20-4 defeat to district rival Vero Beach, the seven-time defending state champions. Despite the defeats and a roster that doesn’t carry a single senior player, the Lady Tigers are 9-6. At time of print, Martin County is sitting second behind Vero Beach in the district standings. District foes Jensen Beach High School and St. Edward’s High School are no pushovers, against Vero is where Martin County wants to be. “The goal all year has been to play Vero for the district championship,” Windsor said. If they are able to advance and get a second crack at Vero, the odds will be stacked up against them. However, compared to their earlier matchup Vero, the players believe they’ve become a more cohesive unit. “I think we have played better as a unit as the year has moved forward,” junior defender Haleigh Singer said. “We communicate much better than we did earlier. “People aren’t attacking the goal by themselves. We are more playing more as a team.”

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — “And so he’s taking off on me.” Those are among the last words Sgt. Gary Morales, 35, said to dispatchers minutes before he was gunned down in broad daylight during a traffic stop in the southern outskirts of Fort Pierce the morning of Feb. 28. The sheriff’s sergeant radioed in the stop and pursuit on a maroon, late-model Toyota Corolla near Oleander Avenue at 9:28 a.m. According to dispatch chatter, 1:57 later, shots were fired on Naylor Terrace. Morales, who was seated in his patrol cruiser, gun still holstered, was fatally wounded. He was shot in the side of the head, neck and arm.

Diamonds by Terry

ell known in the jewelry world, but certainly not a chef or a writer Terry Rieger was not a food writer per se. But she loved making memories and did that with many family traditions and most certainly her wonderful beautiful food that is as beautiful as her jewelry creations. Spent most of her childhood traveling except the first 5 years she spent in Philadelphia. And that was wonderful. The experience of sitting down together at mid-day to share a proper meal itself overshadowed any glitches in the preparation, her Grandmother Dobson was not a great cook, but the immigrant Italian family was and how wonderful that experience was. Food and eating, and the memories of sharing with family and friends inspired much of her writing. Depending on the size of your guest list Terry thinks 2-50 is a nice sit down group and of course everyone must sit at the same table, our family always sat down together for dinner, she often tells a story about her son David who had a friend

sleep over when he was about 11 years old, the next morning we all had breakfast, in the dining room with crystal and silver, because Terry always felt the family was the most important guest so they always used the crystal, china and silver, the little boy leaned over and said David “I hope your parents didn’t go to all this trouble just for me”. I can guarantee to this day there are no paper plates in Terry’s & Fred’s house. The art of Italian or any cooking involved natural, fresh ingredients beautifully prepared. Terry always says it’s not work it’s fun and it’s her pleasure. Now we can all go to Terry’s for Lunch or Afternoon Tea and share a proper fine meal with Terry and Fred. Lunch menu changes every day.

Sons of Italy annual event benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters By Patrick McCallister Staff writer pmccallister@yourvoiceweekly.com The Order Sons of Italy in America Lodge 2855, Palm City, is cooking up the perfect recipe of fun, food and song for its Spring Fling Dinner Dance. “The Italians like their food,” Robert “Bob” Renna, president, said. “I’ll take the food before I take the wine. If you see me you’ll know what I’m talking about it.” The charity event will be on Saturday, April 20, at the Palm Cove Yacht Clubhouse, 262 S.W. Palm Cove Drive, Palm Cove Golf and Yacht Club. The fun kicks off at 6 p.m. with Dennis Fano, financial secretary, leading the evening’s entertainment.

“He’s as good as Sinatra,” Linda Morrell, charity co-director, said. “He should have been named Sinatra.” Fano’s low-key about his musical talent. “Yeah, I sing a little,” he said. In addition to Fano’s singing, the night will be full of good food catered by Carrabba’s Italian Grill, friends and drink. Fano, Renna and Morrell’s husband, Mike, started the local Sons of Italy in 2009. “We have given away a little over $20,000,” Fano said. “We keep enough in the account to keep rolling, and all the extra we find ways to give away.” For example, back in Novem-

SONS from page 14 scholarships. Morrell said the organization is careful about supporting only charities that keep their dollars in Martin County, and that put it to programs rather than administrative costs. The regular meetings — which feature pot-luck dinners — are also at the Palm Cove Yacht Clubhouse. They’re on the third Tuesday of every month, except July and December. “You don’t have to be Italian, but if you are Italian, all the better,” Morrell said. Renna was born in New York and grew up around fellow Italians. His paternal grandparents were from the old county. He moved to Palm City after a career in trucking. Fano was born in New Jersey. All his grandparents were off-the-boat Italians. He headed to Florida back in the early ‘70s. Both said being Italian has more to do with a love for food and family than with genetics. “Most of (the members) are probably not Italian,’ Fano said. “If you like Italian food and Sinatra, you’ll have a good time.” He said there’s a reason folks become Italian at the meetings. “People are eating, they’re laughing, they’re having drinks, and having a good time,” he said.

“It’s a feel of family.” The Order Sons of Italy in America started in 1905 as a mutual-aid society for Italian immigrants. It has about 600,000 members in more than 650 chapters, according to its web site, osia.org. Among other things, OSIA encourages the study of the Italian language and culture in schools, urges closer international ties between the United States and Italy, and seeks to preserve the traditions of earlier generations of Italian-Americans. There are about 26 million Italian-Americans in the United States. The Sons of Italy Foundation runs the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum in New York. Renna said the club members are avid about their meetings. “(The food) sure is good,” he said. “That’s why we have 100 percent attendance.” He’s got a tip for those planning on attending the fundraiser or regular meetings. “Don’t eat lunch, so you’ll have enough room.” The Spring Fling will also feature silent auctions and raffles. Tickets for the Spring Fling are $30 and available until Wednesday, April 17. Seating is limited. For information, call Renna at (772) 283-2813. Membership is $50 a year.

most cut me off with the lights, rammed, kind of rammed me to stop me or whatever and I just didn’t stop,” Tisdale said. During the interview, lead Detective Ronald Wentz asked Tisdale if he knew why he was being stopped. Tisdale, whose driver’s license was suspended, didn’t have an answer, but did say the stop could have been racially motivated. Tisdale, a convicted felon stemming from a 2010 drug charge, had a gun in the car. “Maybe because of the dreads, black guy in the neighborhood, maybe he didn’t have any kind of nothing he can look forward – maybe he didn’t have any, nowhere to be,” said Tisdale, who added he was wearing a seatbelt with his driver’s side window down. “Maybe he thought I was suspicious. I don’t know, but I seen lights.” Tisdale said the shooting was self-defense. “I just, ‘cause I was in fear of my life, you know what I mean, and I wanted to make – be able to breathe another day or just be able to not be put in a position of, like, be at the disposal of another human being …” Tisdale described Morales’s approach as “abrasive” and “aggressive.” At one point Bakkedahl questioned Tisdale’s defense, saying

string of bullets at point-blank range on the sheriff’s deputy, who according to police reports, had no time to react. Tisdale fired four rounds, investigative reports state. During questioning, which lasted just over an hour, Tisdale said he realized life as he knew it was over. “Right now my present life is gone … I’m aware of the road ahead of me,” he said. After insisting to know what he’d be charged with, Chief Assistant State Attorney Tom Bakkedahl told Tisdale he’d be charged with murder. A stoic Tisdale looked down for a second and proceeded to answer questions. Evidence photos made public last week show the bloodied interior of Morales’s cruiser as well as a blood-soaked uniform and undergarments. There was no evidence of a dash cam in Morales’s patrol car. In Tisdale’s version of events, he said he was going to a nearby store to pick up a soda for his pregnant girlfriend, who lived a block away. Tisdale, who said he never made it into the store, said Morales tried to pull him over. After taking off briefly, then stopping, Tisdale said Morales exited his patrol car and ordered Tisdale out of his car. “The officer came and like al-

MORALES from page 16 “You’ve got to come up with something better. Tell me you were stoned out of your mind. Tell me you were hearing voices. That’s going to fly a heck of a lot better than ‘I was acting in self-defense.” Tisdale said the only voice he heard was Morales’s. “Voices, yeah, the voices was telling me – the voices was coming from him (Sgt. Morales),” Tisdale said. “And in his voice was either ‘You’re going to do what the hell I say or I’m gonna kill you, I’m going to hurt you…’” Bakkedahl probed Tisdale further, telling him eye witnesses watched the crime happen. “Tell us how you were in fear of your life the moment you approached the window of his car and executed him,” he said. “It probably is not gonna, it’s not gonna help me anyway,” Tisdale said. Tisdale was indicted last month on a first-degree murder charge. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Tisdale is being held without bond in a Martin County jail. Tisdale’s attorney, Mark Harllee, said he has already filed a written plea of not guilty and his client will not be required to appear at his April 19 arraignment. Harllee said it will be a while until a jury hears the case. “Typically in a case of this high profile nature and when the state

is seeking the death penalty, it (takes) about two years,” Harrlee said.

Eyewitness accounts

According to investigative reports, a Naylor Terrace resident mowing his lawn witnessed the shooting. The witness said he saw a man with dreadlocked hair in a red car being followed by Morales’s flashing car, the report states. The witness said the driver of the red car abruptly hit his brakes, briefly reversed and jumped out of his car. Morales “didn’t have a chance,” the witness said. “This guy (Tisdale) jumps out of his car and hits (shoots) him (Morales) one time, (all right). Now the (cop) ... he can’t even get out,” said the witness, who said he watched Morales open his driver’s side door seconds before the shooting. “And then he (Tisdale) backs up a little bit and then he goes and he puts three more in him (Morales.) If not four. It was so quick. So many shots.” Backup Deputy Clarence Bennett witnessed the execution, according to the reports. Bennett said he arrived in time to see Tisdale at Morales’s driver’s side door, arm extended with a black gun in his hand. The deputy said Tisdale fired at Morales and then turned the .45 caliber handgun

Tisdale’s family

During a police interview the day of the slaying, Tisdale’s then eight-month pregnant girlfriend, Jessica Maldonado, 20, who has since given birth to the couple’s first child, acknowledged her boyfriend, an aspiring rapper who goes by the name “Prince Guru,” owned a black gun he kept in the glove box of the car. Maldonado said Tisdale wasn’t violent, didn’t drink alcohol and smoked marijuana a few times a week. The last time Tisdale smoked was two days before the shooting, she said. She described Tisdale, as “self-centered” and “selfish” when it came to preparing for the upcoming birth of their son. Tisdale was laid off from his job as a lab technician at Jupiter-based Surface Chemists of Florida, a company that specializes in selling products for fertilizing and industrial cleaning, she said. Maldonado, who stressed Tisdale didn’t harbor negative feelings toward law enforcement, said Tisdale frequently said he was harassed by law enforcement. A few rooms away, Tisdale’s mother Charmaine Tisdale, 57,

offered insight into her son’s upbringing. The Port St. Lucie resident said Tisdale was an only child who never met his father. When detectives told Charmaine Tisdale her son showed no remorse for the killing, she said she was shocked as she offered words to the Morales family. “... I send a prayer up for the officer’s family,” she said. “I’m very sorry. I’m very sorry.” “... he wasn’t raised that way ...”

Evidence

A search of Maldonado’s home on Mura Drive, where Tisdale was staying, recovered a .44 magnum pistol and ammunition, a sawedoff Remington 870 shotgun loaded with four rounds of ammunition and ammunition for a .45 caliber pistol, documents state. A trace of the shotgun showed the gun was reported stolen from the home of a Riviera Beach police officer in July 2007. Authorities also found $500 stashed in a Bible, 17 pieces of cocaine, a digital scale and a makeshift greenhouse in a closet where Tisdale was growing his own marijuana, the report states. The names, Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses and dates of birth of several individuals were found on hand-written notes. Police believe Tisdale intended to fraudulently use the information.

Henson Puppets not kids’ stuff By Shelley Koppel Staff writer

skoppel@yourvoiceweekly.com

FORT PIERCE — This is not your grandkid’s Henson puppets. Yes, Henson Alternative’s “Stuffed and Unstrung” features Henson Puppets, and yes, one of the co-creators is Brian Henson, founder Jim Henson’s son and chairman of The Jim Henson Company. No, this is not a show for children and it’s not brought to you by the letter A. Henson Alternatives is the Henson Company label for content intended for adult audiences. Patrick Bristow, co-creator and

host of the evening’s shenanigans said that the show is unique and a little hard to define. “If you’re expecting to see the Muppets, it’s not the Muppets,” he said. “It’s the Miskreant Puppets. It’s a variety improvisation show. All of the improv is based on audience shout-outs. I’m the host and I encourage them to do that.” The show begins with Bristow, who began his career in inprov with the well-known Groundlings, asking the audience to call out something like a place of employment. There’s a fade-out

Lets Dine In Italy Tonight Musical tackles

difficult subjects By Shelley Koppel Staff writer

skoppel@yourvoiceweekly.com

STUART — Musical theater has tackled serious issues for decades. “South Pacific” dealt with racial prejudice. “Cabaret” was set in Nazi Germany amidst growing anti-Semitism. “A Chorus Line” and “Rent” brought up issues of homosexuality and drug use; the latter also tackled the difficult subject of HIV and AIDS. “Next to Normal,” a rock musical by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt, brings light on another once-taboo subject, mental illness and its effect on a suburban family. The musical, which opened on Broadway in 2009, won three Tony awards and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Now, Jake Sanders’ Curtain Call Productions is bringing “Next to Normal” to the Lyric Theatre. The show will run from April 1214. Following matinees on April 13-14, there will be a discussion with cast members, the audience and a mental health professional. Karin Leone plays Diana Goodman, the mother, who suffers from bipolar disorder. She talked about a challenging role in a challenging play. “You meet the family: the mother, father, son and daughter, but early on, you discover that things are not as they seem,” she said. “She has probably had the bipolar disorder, but a tragedy in the family triggers it.” In addition to mental illness, the show deals with grieving a loss, suicide, drug abuse and issues of ethics in psychiatry. “The crux is about modern psychiatry and being medicated versus being allowed to deal with

the joy and pain that come with being alive,” Leone said. The musical must tackle the question of how to treat an underlying mental illness while allowing a person to grieve and feel emotions of loss and pain so that they can move forward. For Karin Leone, playing this role requires experience in life as well as theater. “It’s scary,” she said. “I think in order to do it right, I have to be open to dealing with my own feelings. I couldn’t have done it 10 years ago. You have to have experienced pain, grief and loss. I’ve had pain and loss that have given me perspective.” In addition to Leone, the cast includes Robert Dawson as the father, Dan Goodman; Anthony Nuccio as son Gabe; Colleen Broome as the daughter, Natalie; Michael Hurst as both of the doctors; and Xander James as Natalie’s boyfriend. Jared Walker is directing. Leone is concerned that the subject matter may put people off. There is a lot of humor in it,” she said. “It sounds so depressing, but I was surprised, when I saw it in Naples recently, how much humor there is.” Leone is friends with fellow actor J. Robert Spencer, who originated the role of the father on Broadway. She is excited that the cast will be doing a Skype session about the roles and the original production. Ultimately, she is pleased to have the opportunity to flex some acting muscles. “I’m scared, but excited about doing a role that has gravity and addresses real-world issues. It’s not your typical fluffy musical

and then the puppets appear in the world that was suggested by the shout-out, improvising a sketch. “The cast always does something new, even if they’ve done the situation before,” he said. “They love being on the edge. When I feel the sketch is over, I give lighting a cue and it fades out to the end of the scene. Then we do another improv, a song or a vintage recreation of a Jim Henson-Frank Oz sketch. That’s why it’s a variety show.” Bristow said that because so much of the show is audience-driven, they can’t guarantee that the language and the themes will be suitable for children. That’s why they say it isn’t suitable for anyone under 18. “If someone suggests that the puppets get bikini waxes, we’ll be going below the belt,” Bristow said. “We don’t endeavor to be blue, but we reserve the right to give the audience what they want. We’re naughty. We tease the line, as did Jim Henson. “Our puppets get away with saying things that performers wouldn’t get away with. It’s a perk to be subversive. It’s an ‘innocent art form’ but you get

to bring an adult sensibility.” Bristow said the audiences they attract are a cross-section. “They’re from 18 to 80,” he said. “When people say it’s an area with a lot of senior citizens, I remind them that people in their 70s and 80s were the beatniks, the early rock ’n’ rollers. They are Jim Henson’s age (if he were still alive.) We have wide appeal to college students, improv people and people who grew up with the Muppets and have a little twisted sense of humor.” Bristow said that the audience should not worry about offending the puppets or the host. “When audiences heckle, I love it,” he said. “It’s fun when it turns into a party.”
