Alive

By SANDy COHENEntErtainmEnt WritEr

LOS ANGELES — The rebirth of black indepen-dent film is taking place in a small office in the San Fer-nando Valley.

This is where filmmaker Ava DuVernay and her staff of two operate AaFFRM, the African-American Film Festival Releasing Move-ment, a boutique distribu-tion company dedicated to discovering and promoting black directorial voices. The fledgling company has re-leased just four films since 2010, but one of its artists has already caught the at-tention of Oprah Winfrey: DuVernay herself.

Winfrey has repeatedly told her 14 million Twitter followers about DuVernay’s latest film, “Middle of No-where,” which expands to 14 more cities Friday after opening in six theaters last

week. She described the film as “powerful and po-etic.”

“Excellent job especially with no money,” Winfrey tweeted to DuVernay. “Bra-vo to you my sistah.”

The 40-year-old Du-Vernay, whose easy smile, animated energy and pas-sionate dedication make her seem a decade younger, beams as she says, “I’m liv-ing my dream.”

There’s a massive con-gratulatory bouquet of orchids on the desk in her small office overlooking Van Nuys Boulevard. A book-shelf is crowded with recent awards, including the best director prize she won at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. (She was the first black woman ever to win.) Posters from her first documentary and first narrative feature adorn the walls. A magnum of Moet with a big gold bow on top sits on the floor.

Just a little over a year ago, DuVernay was a Hollywood publicist focused on other people’s movies. Through her namesake public-re-lations firm, she helped develop release strategies

for films such as “The Help,” ‘’Invictus”

and “Dream-girls,” while

q u i e t l y dreaming of telling her own

stories.

In 2002, the Los Angeles native and UCLA graduate sat down and wrote “Mid-dle of Nowhere,” a story set in her hometown about a young medical student coping with her husband’s recent eight-year jail sen-tence.

“Where I’m from, it’s im-possible not to look at this real epidemic in black and brown communities of in-carceration and the women who are left behind,” said DuVernay, who grew up in and around Compton.

She pitched the script to some of her Hollywood col-leagues, but got no traction and shelved it.

“Everyone in town has a script in the drawer, so I just joined the club,” she said.

Undaunted, she wrote a second screenplay, “I Will Follow,” which became her first feature — produced in 2011 with her own $50,000 savings. It earned raves from Roger Ebert and nearly tripled its budget in ticket sales.

“It proved there was an audience for low-budget, thoughtful films for women and people of color,” she said.

So she went back to her original script with new confidence, making the film last year for around $200,000. Set against a social-justice backdrop of prison inequity, the film is more about the interior lives of the women it fea-tures.

“It’s really trying to get to those quiet

spaces which are just not be-

ing depicted in cinema,”

she said. “I purposely d i d n ’ t want it to feel like castor oil or medi-c i n e ,

which is something that we get specifically when we’re dealing in African-American cinema. It’s al-ways a lesson, or a history lesson. This is a beautiful love story, and the sister’s got a man who’s locked up. Let’s explore what that is.”

Bringing light to un-told stories and broad-ening the scope of black independent film is what moves DuVernay to dis-tribute her own projects and those of other black filmmakers.

“Black audiences are not used to art-house fare be-cause they’ve not had any kind of diet of it. It’s not been provided to them,” she said. “And indepen-dent audiences are not used to black fare.”

She wants to cultivate and educate both audi-ences through her own films and AaFFRM.

“There’s something very important about films about black women and girls being made by black women,” she said. “It’s a different perspective. It is a reflection as opposed to an interpretation, and I think we get a lot of in-terpretations about the lives of women that are not coming from women.”

DuVernay is convinced that stories from under-represented populations will find audiences in this digital age, just as her films have.

“It’s easier to get your hands on a camera now, easier to make a film, easier to get and find an audience and new ways to reach people through digital,” she said.

She plans to make a film a year, and so far she’s on track. Up next is a docu-mentary about Venus Williams, and in Febru-ary, DuVernay will start production on her third screenplay.

Film Review

‘Cloud Atlas’ is laughably self-seriousBy CHRISTy LEMIREAP MOVIE CRITIC

Maybe if you’re 20 years old and high in your dorm room with your friends, the platitudes presented in “Cloud Atlas” might seem profound.

Anyone else in his or her right mind should recog-nize it for what it is: a bloat-ed, pseudo-intellectual, self-indulgent slog through some notions that are really rather facile.

Ooh, we’re all intercon-nected and our souls keep meeting up with each other over the centuries, regard-less of race, gender or ge-ography. We’re individual drops of water but we’re all part of the same ocean. That is deep, man.

Perhaps it all worked bet-ter on the page. “Cloud At-las” comes from the best-selling novel of the same name by David Mitchell which, in theory, might have seemed unfilmable, encompassing six stories over a span of 500 years and including some primi-tive dialogue in a far-away future. Sibling directors Lana and Andy Wachowski — who actually have come up with some original, pro-vocative ideas of their own in the “Matrix” movies (well, at least the first one) — working with “Run Lola Run” director Tom Tykwer, have chopped up the vari-ous narratives and intercut between them out of order. The A-list actors who com-prise the cast play multiple parts across the various stories and in elaborate makeup that’s often laugh-able.

Tom Hanks is a scheming doctor on a voyage across the South Pacific in 1849, a trash-talking novelist in

present-day London and a peaceful goatherd who’s part of a post-apocalyptic tribe in the 2300s. Halle Berry is a composer’s white trophy wife in 1936 Scot-land, an investigative re-porter in 1973 San Francis-co and a member of an elite society of prescients in the farthest future. Hugh Grant is often the least recogniz-able of all beneath layers of prosthetics and goop: at one point, he’s a vengeful old man; at another, he’s the raging leader of a band of cannibals.

One easy rule of thumb: If you see Hugo Weaving, you know he’s a bad guy. Except for the story line in which he plays a woman, that is: an oppressive Nurse

Ratched figure in a psychi-atric hospital.

Maybe the concept of transformation and of con-nectedness despite the physical vessels we occupy felt especially resonant for the transgender Lana Wa-chowski, formerly Larry Wachowski. But rather than serving as a satisfying, cohesive device, the multi-ple-parts strategy feels like a distracting gimmick. In-stead of seamlessly meld-ing with the film’s philoso-phy of continuity, it keeps you constantly wondering: “Who is that actor made up to look Asian? Who is that beneath the henna tattoos and macrame? Is that... Su-san Sarandon?” It takes you out of the heart of the sto-

ries and holds you at arm’s length.

“Cloud Atlas” is ambi-tious in its scope, for sure — edited fluidly and often wondrous to look at, but totally ineffective from an emotional perspective. As you’re watching it you may ponder as I did whether any of these six stories across disparate genres would be more compelling as its own, stand-alone film. Possibly the one set in pre-World War II, starring Ben Whishaw as an up-and-coming composer who flees London when he’s exposed as a homosexual and goes to work for an aging musi-cal master (Jim Broadbent), all the while writing letters to his lover (James D’Arcy)

full of humor and longing. (This is one of the Tykwer segments, by the way. He also directed the tales set in 1973 and 2012, while the Wachowskis took on 1849, 2144 and the 24th century.)

The most ridiculous is the one that takes place “Af-ter the Fall” in Hawaii in the mid-2300s. It requires Hanks and Berry to yammer at each other in a disjoint-ed, stripped-down version of English that’s as indeci-pherable as it is laughable. Even more unintention-ally hilarious is the sight of Weaving hopping around in green makeup like some subversive leprechaun, whispering naughty things in Hanks’ ear.

On the other end of the

spectrum, the most engag-ing tale of all is set in the gleaming, futuristic city of Neo Seoul, a place of de-tailed, totalitarian precision built atop the remnants of a flood. Sonmi-451 (Doo-na Bae) is one of countless fabricated restaurant work-ers locked in a daily rou-tine of servitude and sleep. But she longs to think for herself and dares to escape with the help of a young revolutionary played by Jim Sturgess. Sure, it’s hugely derivative with its garish, dystopian aesthetic and themes of machines turn-ing on the people who in-vented them, but it’s also the only one that comes close to capturing any real sense of humanity.

Mama may have told you not to come, but when Grammy-nominated Three Dog Night performs in Shippensburg, we guarantee you will want to be there.

The band will be bring-ing their signature sound to the halls of the H. Ric Luhrs Center at Shippensburg University on Friday, Nov. 2.

TourAfter more than 40 years

in the recording industry, lead vocalist Danny Hutton says the band has no inten-tions of stopping.

“We are on the never end-ing tour,” he joked while talking with The Sentinel recently.

Founding members Hut-ton and Cory Wells on lead vocals, as well as origi-nal keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and guitar-ist Michael Allsup, will be joined by Paul Kingery (bass and vocals) and Pat Bautz (drums) and will be bring-ing their arsenal of hits to the Luhrs Center.

Hutton said while the touring schedule may have changed, with 60 to 80 shows a year, the experience of being on stage has not.

“We have been together for 43 years, the majority of the guys are still in the group, so we learned how to do it,” Hutton said.

Hutton said after the band’s three-year hiatus in 1977, when they returned in 1980 they decided to keep playing shows, but live their lives as well.

“When Cory (Wells) and I got together to do it again, we just said ‘Let’s just keep doing it as long as it’s fun,’” he said. “We try to keep it so

there is no stress level.”With his wife’s fam-

ily hailing from Jim Thorpe, Hutton says he loves visit-ing Pennsylvania, not only to play concerts but also sight-seeing.

“We love playing up there, it is a great area,” he said. “I get to go to places I would never think to go to. Some-times you are forced to go, end up in a small airport af-ter three airplanes and then to an hour and a half drive to some place that nor-mally I would never go to. Sometimes it’s not fun, but sometimes you get an in-credible pleasant surprise, like wow, who knew this ex-isted.”

ShowFans of the band will hear

the hits that made the group famous, including “Mama Told Me Not To Come,” “Shambala,” “Joy To The World,” and many more,

said Hutton.Covering many different

styles of music, Hutton said the band will play some-thing for everyone during the show.

“We are pretty lucky, we had 21 top 40 hits in a row,” he said. “It’s very eclectic, we have been on the coun-try charts, rhythm and blue charts, the rock charts, all the charts, and we even did a classical album with the London Symphony Orches-tra. Our music is all over the place. I guarantee you that after an hour and 20 min-utes, we will have played some kind of genre of mu-sic that the audience likes. If you like the records, we sound like the records.”

Hutton said the band will be playing their hits along-side some new songs.

“Our audiences usually leave with a big smile on their face,” he said. “It’s a happy evening to get away

from all your worries and here is some good hon-est melodic music with big hooks, well done and well presented I think. I think they are going to like the new songs and it is going to be a lot of fun. They will leave with a smile on their face.”

new MusicRecently, Three Dog Night

began adding new songs to their arsenal by releasing their first double-A sided single in nearly 25 years. “Heart Of Blues” and the a-cappella ballad “Prayer of the Children” are available online at iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital retail-ers as well as through the official band website,

Hutton said with the new releases, a new album is in the works, and will be re-leased once the band has “everything just right.”

“We are fiddling around.

I’ve got two songs that are almost finished and Cory (Wells) is fooling around too,” he said. “We don’t have any deadline. When it is right, we will put it out.”

Hutton said the touring and recording pace fits into the band member’s lives much better than when they first started to garner fame.

“When we were expected to put out at least two al-bums per year, and have at least two hit singles on each album, and we put out

two albums a year and usu-ally had three top 40 hits from each album, it was a crazy pace,” he said. “Then we would be booked and we would have a month off when we got home, sup-posedly, to do an album. We would have to do a whole album in a month, plus do interviews, go and see our business manager, do photo shoots, it really took a toll on everybody. We would be in the studio day and night for days, up for days some-times working on it.”

Now, the band has the ability to settle down, have families and a regular life, taking the occasional break to play shows.

“I have a real life, I am sitting outside, today is 80 degrees and my dogs are here, and I am working on my car, so it’s great,” he said. “This is probably the happiest part of my life so far. Everybody is healthy, we are sounding really good and it is just a lot of fun.”

TicketsTickets for this show are

going fast, with an almost sold out crowd as of the writing of this article. Tick-et information can be ob-tained by calling the Luhrs Center Box Office at 477-SHOW(7469) or online at luhrscenter.com.

In 2003, when Hillegas Productions launched its annual (only two years skipped) presentation of “The Rocky Horror Show,” Ryan Boyles was asked to take the role of Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter — the promiscuous, transvestite mad scientist.

He was, at the very least, surprised. “I said, ‘Are you crazy? If anything, I thought I’d be Brad.’”

Brad is the clean-cut, na-ive young man who is trav-eling with his fiancee, Janet, to see their old science tu-tor. When their car has a flat tire in a rainstorm, they are forced to seek shelter in an old castle, presided on by Frank ‘N’ Furter — much to their (comic) peril.

“But I trusted the Hille-gases,” Boyles recalls. “Act-ing is about being willing to take risks.”

Boyles has played the role ever since.

For Michael Hillegas Jr., who is producing the show and plays drums in the pit, the “risk” of produc-ing “Rocky Horror” has diminished with time. For one thing, nearly all the cast members, like Boyles, date back to the original Hillegas Productions show.

“They’re extremely into this piece,” he says. “It’s all about the entertainment and the event, not pure the-ater. We have a costume party before each perfor-mance, and we recreate the movie version — by having audiences line up to start the performances at midnight.”

That harks back to the midnight showings of the 1975 film, “The Rocky Hor-ror Picture Show,” which came out two years after the stage show premiered in

London and is, like the show itself, a cult classic.

With music, lyrics, and book by Richard O’Brien, the musical made its U.S. debut in Los Angeles a year later and later moved to Broadway. Despite a Tony Award nomination, “Rocky Horror” lasted only through three previews and 45 shows. But since then, the B- and horror-movie-inspired mu-sical has seen revivals and international tours and been a favorite of professional and community theaters alike.

Hillegas Jr. now feels com-fortable the production is his own. But he dedicates it to his mother Sharon, who died a few years ago.

“She loved the show,” Hil-legas Jr. says. “This was her favorite time of year, and ‘Rocky Horror’ was the last show she saw me drum in.”

There is also a reliving of

tradition, in that the show’s current venue — Gullifty’s Underground in New Cum-berland — was where the Hillegases produced musi-cals before they had a brick-and-mortar site in Capitol Dinner Theatre.

Ironically, Mike Hillegas Sr., a veteran theater per-former of 58 years — 30 of them as a professional — is new to the cast of “Rocky Horror.”

“I haven’t done much since Sharon died,” he says. “But this is a show I always wanted to do.”

Hillegas Sr. plays Dr. Scott, who may be less malevolent than Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter, but has a touch of madness. The wheelchair-bound sci-entist comes to the castle to figure out what happened to his nephew, Eddie, a biker the doctor has turned into a zombie.

“There’s no real plot, but it’s a lot of fun,” Hillegas Sr. says.

Thom Bissey, who plays Riff Raff, Frank ‘N’ Furter’s hunchbacked handyman, seconds the motion.

“The show is a riot,” he says. “The cast jokes that it’s not ‘real theater,’ but it needs real actors. Because you never know what the audience will do. Each show is different, and you have to be so comfortable with it so no one will panic. We have to roll with whatever hap-pens.”

Bissey has been so devoted to participating in “Rocky Horror” that he used to call Sharon Hillegas every June to make sure she was still planning to produce it so he could clear his calendar.

“It’s fun to play such a creepy character,” he says of Riff Raff, who’s kind of

reminiscent of Renfield in “Dracula.” “But in the end he turns out to be a leader, and he gets to sing ‘Time Warp,’ which is a show stop-per.”

With all the history be-hind it, and with the wild enthusiasm of audiences to “Rocky Horror,” Boyles says, the challenge is clear: to pay tribute to the traditions but not mimic them — to “make it your own.”

Ben Cohen is Brad, and Melissa McKeehan is Ja-net. The cast also features Jennie James, who directed and choreographed; Sher-ry Boyles; Taryn Sprenkle; Matt Whalen; and Duane Baker. Trent Williams, Chris Mason, Shelley Goldstein and Joy Hymon play the phantoms. Rich Ryan, Jor-dan Ryan, Johnathan Shuey and Taylor Shaull join Hil-legas Jr. in the pit.

The Dickinson College Departments of Theatre & Dance and Music jointly pres-ent the uplifting and inspiring musical “The Spitfire Grill.” The story follows a young woman, Percy Talbott, who af-ter five years in prison chooses the tiny town of Gilead, Wis., in which to start over. Percy doesn’t know a soul in the town, nor does she have a job or a place to stay. Hannah, the cantankerous owner of the Spitfire Grill reluctantly takes Percy in. And the town will never be the same again. After rumors and speculation about her intentions die down, Percy helps the residents of Gilead uncover the hope that had been lying dormant for decades. “The Spitfire Grille” celebrates hometown life with soul-stirring melodies and infec-

For one Disney on Ice cast member, this year’s stop at the Giant Center in No-vember hits close to home — literally.

Jessica Koller is a native of York and knows firsthand the joys of achieving the kind of success normally reserved for the pages of a Disney script.

“When I was younger, I would see the Disney on Ice shows when they came to town,” Koller said. “I liked to skate and always felt more geared toward enter-taining rather than com-petition. So when I was in high school, I auditioned.”

Koller, a graduate of Pennsylvania Cyber School and former West York High School student, learned she would join the cast of Disney on Ice the summer following her senior year.

Five years later, she’s still traveling the world and lov-ing every minute of it.

“I love that I’m still young and able to travel,” Koller said. “I’ve been to Europe and Asia. I went to Bue-nos Aires with the Finding Nemo show. I hope to be able to go back and see all

of the places I didn’t get to see last time.”

Koller currently stars as an ensemble cast member in Rockin’ Ever After, the newest Disney on Ice show which debuted in Florida last month. The show un-folds as a talent competi-tion hosted by Mickey and Minnie, who searched the globe for the best and brightest of Disney celebri-

ties, including characters from the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Tan-gled and the newest addi-tion to the princess club, Merida from the film Brave.

“We really tried to put a contemporary spin on this show,” said Patty Vincent, the director of Rockin’ Ever After. “We’ve includ-ed popular 80s songs like ‘Girls Just Want to Have

Fun’ and ‘Vogue’ into some of the numbers, as well as bringing back the classic songs like ‘Under the Sea.’”

Vincent’s history with Disney on Ice stretches back 29 years when the veteran director was still an ensemble cast member. Some of her show credits include Peter Pan and the

Vincent said she traded in her skates for a director’s chair after eight years in the limelight.

“I really liked being an ensemble cast member be-cause I got to play so many different roles,” Vincent said. “But I was always so interested in the show itself

and where did it start.”Koller shares Vincent’s

viewpoint regarding the flexibility of an ensemble cast member.

“I’m in a position now where my job isn’t too hard and isn’t too easy,” she said. “It keeps me challenged, but I also get to play so many different parts. Its nice to do different things every show.”

Koller shares the stage

with 39 other performers who all help realize the vi-sion of the show’s creators, including Vincent.

“We are recreating these moments that young chil-dren and adults have been viewing for their entire lives,” Vincent said. “We get the opportunity to recreate these gorgeous moments that people have never for-gotten.”

Vincent said she spends

a lot of time researching Disney films, looking for the highlights of the most popular characters and sto-ry lines. These memorable scenes come together to create the nine different ice shows currently on tour.

“We listen to people and what they want,” she said. “And these particular sto-ries were very popular and kept coming back.”

Rockin’ Ever After com-

bines new faces and old fa-vorites in its debut run. The show’s concept, Vincent said, aimed to connect au-diences with the differing cultures of each character, particularly in the case of Brave, set in medieval Scot-land.

“At the time of prepro-duction, Brave wasn’t even out yet,” Vincent said. “So we were excited to bring those characters to life and

choreograph this story. We’ve never done some-thing like this before.”

Rockin’ Ever After will spend eight months tour-ing up and down the east coast and will stop for four days from Nov. 1-4 at the Giant Center in Hershey. For more information or to purchase tickets, please contact the Giant Center at 534-8955 or visit www.gi-antcenter.com.

The Dickinson College Departments of Theatre & Dance and Music jointly pres-ent the uplifting and inspiring musical “The Spitfire Grill.” The story follows a young woman, Percy Talbott, who af-ter five years in prison chooses the tiny town of Gilead, Wis., in which to start over. Percy doesn’t know a soul in the town, nor does she have a job or a place to stay. Hannah, the cantankerous owner of the Spitfire Grill reluctantly takes Percy in. And the town will never be the same again. After rumors and speculation about her intentions die down, Percy helps the residents of Gilead uncover the hope that had been lying dormant for decades. “The Spitfire Grille” celebrates hometown life with soul-stirring melodies and infec-

tious rhythms that will warm and inspire even the most cynical heart.

Based on the 1996 independent film, the musical adaptation of “The Spitfire Grill” was an off-Broadway hit when it opened in September of 2001 at New York’s Playwrights Horizons. The show received best musical nominations from the Outer Critics Circle and the Drama League and was included in New York Magazine’s “Best of 2001” listings. Hailed by the Associated Press as “a lovely new musical in the Rodgers and Hammerstein tradition,” the show has been staged in more than 300 regional and international productions.

Mama may have told you not to come, but when Grammy-nominated Three Dog Night performs in Shippensburg, we guarantee you will want to be there.

The band will be bring-ing their signature sound to the halls of the H. Ric Luhrs Center at Shippensburg University on Friday, Nov. 2.

TourAfter more than 40 years

in the recording industry, lead vocalist Danny Hutton says the band has no inten-tions of stopping.

“We are on the never end-ing tour,” he joked while talking with The Sentinel recently.

Founding members Hut-ton and Cory Wells on lead vocals, as well as origi-nal keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and guitar-ist Michael Allsup, will be joined by Paul Kingery (bass and vocals) and Pat Bautz (drums) and will be bring-ing their arsenal of hits to the Luhrs Center.

Hutton said while the touring schedule may have changed, with 60 to 80 shows a year, the experience of being on stage has not.

“We have been together for 43 years, the majority of the guys are still in the group, so we learned how to do it,” Hutton said.

Hutton said after the band’s three-year hiatus in 1977, when they returned in 1980 they decided to keep playing shows, but live their lives as well.

“When Cory (Wells) and I got together to do it again, we just said ‘Let’s just keep doing it as long as it’s fun,’” he said. “We try to keep it so

there is no stress level.”With his wife’s fam-

ily hailing from Jim Thorpe, Hutton says he loves visit-ing Pennsylvania, not only to play concerts but also sight-seeing.

“We love playing up there, it is a great area,” he said. “I get to go to places I would never think to go to. Some-times you are forced to go, end up in a small airport af-ter three airplanes and then to an hour and a half drive to some place that nor-mally I would never go to. Sometimes it’s not fun, but sometimes you get an in-credible pleasant surprise, like wow, who knew this ex-isted.”

ShowFans of the band will hear

the hits that made the group famous, including “Mama Told Me Not To Come,” “Shambala,” “Joy To The World,” and many more,

said Hutton.Covering many different

styles of music, Hutton said the band will play some-thing for everyone during the show.

“We are pretty lucky, we had 21 top 40 hits in a row,” he said. “It’s very eclectic, we have been on the coun-try charts, rhythm and blue charts, the rock charts, all the charts, and we even did a classical album with the London Symphony Orches-tra. Our music is all over the place. I guarantee you that after an hour and 20 min-utes, we will have played some kind of genre of mu-sic that the audience likes. If you like the records, we sound like the records.”

Hutton said the band will be playing their hits along-side some new songs.

“Our audiences usually leave with a big smile on their face,” he said. “It’s a happy evening to get away

from all your worries and here is some good hon-est melodic music with big hooks, well done and well presented I think. I think they are going to like the new songs and it is going to be a lot of fun. They will leave with a smile on their face.”

new MusicRecently, Three Dog Night

began adding new songs to their arsenal by releasing their first double-A sided single in nearly 25 years. “Heart Of Blues” and the a-cappella ballad “Prayer of the Children” are available online at iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital retail-ers as well as through the official band website,

Hutton said with the new releases, a new album is in the works, and will be re-leased once the band has “everything just right.”

“We are fiddling around.

I’ve got two songs that are almost finished and Cory (Wells) is fooling around too,” he said. “We don’t have any deadline. When it is right, we will put it out.”

Hutton said the touring and recording pace fits into the band member’s lives much better than when they first started to garner fame.

“When we were expected to put out at least two al-bums per year, and have at least two hit singles on each album, and we put out

two albums a year and usu-ally had three top 40 hits from each album, it was a crazy pace,” he said. “Then we would be booked and we would have a month off when we got home, sup-posedly, to do an album. We would have to do a whole album in a month, plus do interviews, go and see our business manager, do photo shoots, it really took a toll on everybody. We would be in the studio day and night for days, up for days some-times working on it.”

Now, the band has the ability to settle down, have families and a regular life, taking the occasional break to play shows.

“I have a real life, I am sitting outside, today is 80 degrees and my dogs are here, and I am working on my car, so it’s great,” he said. “This is probably the happiest part of my life so far. Everybody is healthy, we are sounding really good and it is just a lot of fun.”

In 2003, when Hillegas Productions launched its annual (only two years skipped) presentation of “The Rocky Horror Show,” Ryan Boyles was asked to take the role of Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter — the promiscuous, transvestite mad scientist.

He was, at the very least, surprised. “I said, ‘Are you crazy? If anything, I thought I’d be Brad.’”

Brad is the clean-cut, na-ive young man who is trav-eling with his fiancee, Janet, to see their old science tu-tor. When their car has a flat tire in a rainstorm, they are forced to seek shelter in an old castle, presided on by Frank ‘N’ Furter — much to their (comic) peril.

“But I trusted the Hille-gases,” Boyles recalls. “Act-ing is about being willing to take risks.”

Boyles has played the role ever since.

For Michael Hillegas Jr., who is producing the show and plays drums in the pit, the “risk” of produc-ing “Rocky Horror” has diminished with time. For one thing, nearly all the cast members, like Boyles, date back to the original Hillegas Productions show.

“They’re extremely into this piece,” he says. “It’s all about the entertainment and the event, not pure the-ater. We have a costume party before each perfor-mance, and we recreate the movie version — by having audiences line up to start the performances at midnight.”

That harks back to the midnight showings of the 1975 film, “The Rocky Hor-ror Picture Show,” which came out two years after the stage show premiered in

London and is, like the show itself, a cult classic.

With music, lyrics, and book by Richard O’Brien, the musical made its U.S. debut in Los Angeles a year later and later moved to Broadway. Despite a Tony Award nomination, “Rocky Horror” lasted only through three previews and 45 shows. But since then, the B- and horror-movie-inspired mu-sical has seen revivals and international tours and been a favorite of professional and community theaters alike.

Hillegas Jr. now feels com-fortable the production is his own. But he dedicates it to his mother Sharon, who died a few years ago.

“She loved the show,” Hil-legas Jr. says. “This was her favorite time of year, and ‘Rocky Horror’ was the last show she saw me drum in.”

There is also a reliving of

tradition, in that the show’s current venue — Gullifty’s Underground in New Cum-berland — was where the Hillegases produced musi-cals before they had a brick-and-mortar site in Capitol Dinner Theatre.

Ironically, Mike Hillegas Sr., a veteran theater per-former of 58 years — 30 of them as a professional — is new to the cast of “Rocky Horror.”

“I haven’t done much since Sharon died,” he says. “But this is a show I always wanted to do.”

Hillegas Sr. plays Dr. Scott, who may be less malevolent than Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter, but has a touch of madness. The wheelchair-bound sci-entist comes to the castle to figure out what happened to his nephew, Eddie, a biker the doctor has turned into a zombie.

“There’s no real plot, but it’s a lot of fun,” Hillegas Sr. says.

Thom Bissey, who plays Riff Raff, Frank ‘N’ Furter’s hunchbacked handyman, seconds the motion.

“The show is a riot,” he says. “The cast jokes that it’s not ‘real theater,’ but it needs real actors. Because you never know what the audience will do. Each show is different, and you have to be so comfortable with it so no one will panic. We have to roll with whatever hap-pens.”

Bissey has been so devoted to participating in “Rocky Horror” that he used to call Sharon Hillegas every June to make sure she was still planning to produce it so he could clear his calendar.

“It’s fun to play such a creepy character,” he says of Riff Raff, who’s kind of

reminiscent of Renfield in “Dracula.” “But in the end he turns out to be a leader, and he gets to sing ‘Time Warp,’ which is a show stop-per.”

With all the history be-hind it, and with the wild enthusiasm of audiences to “Rocky Horror,” Boyles says, the challenge is clear: to pay tribute to the traditions but not mimic them — to “make it your own.”

Ben Cohen is Brad, and Melissa McKeehan is Ja-net. The cast also features Jennie James, who directed and choreographed; Sher-ry Boyles; Taryn Sprenkle; Matt Whalen; and Duane Baker. Trent Williams, Chris Mason, Shelley Goldstein and Joy Hymon play the phantoms. Rich Ryan, Jor-dan Ryan, Johnathan Shuey and Taylor Shaull join Hil-legas Jr. in the pit.

Film Review

‘Cloud Atlas’ is laughably self-seriousBy CHRISTy LEMIREAP MOVIE CRITIC

Maybe if you’re 20 years old and high in your dorm room with your friends, the platitudes presented in “Cloud Atlas” might seem profound.

Anyone else in his or her right mind should recog-nize it for what it is: a bloat-ed, pseudo-intellectual, self-indulgent slog through some notions that are really rather facile.

Ooh, we’re all intercon-nected and our souls keep meeting up with each other over the centuries, regard-less of race, gender or ge-ography. We’re individual drops of water but we’re all part of the same ocean. That is deep, man.

Perhaps it all worked bet-ter on the page. “Cloud At-las” comes from the best-selling novel of the same name by David Mitchell which, in theory, might have seemed unfilmable, encompassing six stories over a span of 500 years and including some primi-tive dialogue in a far-away future. Sibling directors Lana and Andy Wachowski — who actually have come up with some original, pro-vocative ideas of their own in the “Matrix” movies (well, at least the first one) — working with “Run Lola Run” director Tom Tykwer, have chopped up the vari-ous narratives and intercut between them out of order. The A-list actors who com-prise the cast play multiple parts across the various stories and in elaborate makeup that’s often laugh-able.

Tom Hanks is a scheming doctor on a voyage across the South Pacific in 1849, a trash-talking novelist in

present-day London and a peaceful goatherd who’s part of a post-apocalyptic tribe in the 2300s. Halle Berry is a composer’s white trophy wife in 1936 Scot-land, an investigative re-porter in 1973 San Francis-co and a member of an elite society of prescients in the farthest future. Hugh Grant is often the least recogniz-able of all beneath layers of prosthetics and goop: at one point, he’s a vengeful old man; at another, he’s the raging leader of a band of cannibals.

One easy rule of thumb: If you see Hugo Weaving, you know he’s a bad guy. Except for the story line in which he plays a woman, that is: an oppressive Nurse

Ratched figure in a psychi-atric hospital.

Maybe the concept of transformation and of con-nectedness despite the physical vessels we occupy felt especially resonant for the transgender Lana Wa-chowski, formerly Larry Wachowski. But rather than serving as a satisfying, cohesive device, the multi-ple-parts strategy feels like a distracting gimmick. In-stead of seamlessly meld-ing with the film’s philoso-phy of continuity, it keeps you constantly wondering: “Who is that actor made up to look Asian? Who is that beneath the henna tattoos and macrame? Is that... Su-san Sarandon?” It takes you out of the heart of the sto-

ries and holds you at arm’s length.

“Cloud Atlas” is ambi-tious in its scope, for sure — edited fluidly and often wondrous to look at, but totally ineffective from an emotional perspective. As you’re watching it you may ponder as I did whether any of these six stories across disparate genres would be more compelling as its own, stand-alone film. Possibly the one set in pre-World War II, starring Ben Whishaw as an up-and-coming composer who flees London when he’s exposed as a homosexual and goes to work for an aging musi-cal master (Jim Broadbent), all the while writing letters to his lover (James D’Arcy)

full of humor and longing. (This is one of the Tykwer segments, by the way. He also directed the tales set in 1973 and 2012, while the Wachowskis took on 1849, 2144 and the 24th century.)

The most ridiculous is the one that takes place “Af-ter the Fall” in Hawaii in the mid-2300s. It requires Hanks and Berry to yammer at each other in a disjoint-ed, stripped-down version of English that’s as indeci-pherable as it is laughable. Even more unintention-ally hilarious is the sight of Weaving hopping around in green makeup like some subversive leprechaun, whispering naughty things in Hanks’ ear.

On the other end of the

spectrum, the most engag-ing tale of all is set in the gleaming, futuristic city of Neo Seoul, a place of de-tailed, totalitarian precision built atop the remnants of a flood. Sonmi-451 (Doo-na Bae) is one of countless fabricated restaurant work-ers locked in a daily rou-tine of servitude and sleep. But she longs to think for herself and dares to escape with the help of a young revolutionary played by Jim Sturgess. Sure, it’s hugely derivative with its garish, dystopian aesthetic and themes of machines turn-ing on the people who in-vented them, but it’s also the only one that comes close to capturing any real sense of humanity.
