By Chelsey Killebrew Although Tucsonans don’t get to experience the change of season every out-of-towner talks about in the fall, colorful foliage painting the town in natural artistry – we certainly experience the transformation of the city through performing and visual arts... if you know where to explore.

The season kicks off with Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy,“The Importance of Being Earnest” (September 14 to October 5), the first time in 25 years that ATC has produced this classic favorite, where a refined bachelor flat stages brewing trouble in Oscar Wilde’s endlessly delightful classic.

With the launch of ARTS!, AZ Weekly’s first arts preview for Tucson co-created withSouthern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, locals can find plentiful harvest of entertainment. Fall will bring to light Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” performed by Tucson Symphony at the Fox Tucson Theatre, a thought-provoking exhibit from five talented artists at Flux and awardwinning comedy by Oscar Wilde at Arizona Theatre Company.

“The Mountaintop” (November 14 to December 1) is the powerful Broadway play about the final night of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life. A soul-stirring hit in London and on Broadway, “The Mountaintop” delivers dramatic, magical storytelling, giving insight into King, the man, and reaching a surprising summit.

Top 15 in the Arts this Fall

The outrageous, high-energy Broadway musical hit, “Xanadu” (October 19 to November 9) is hilarity on wheels – an award-winning musical comedy for anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired. The hilarious roller-skating, disco-dancing adventure weaves a tale of endless fun perfect for the whole family.

An artistic change of season from local arts groups

The Civic Orchestra of Tucson presents two free concerts to kick off its season (October 7 – Canyon del Oro High School; October 8 – Green Valley Community Performing Arts Center).

How Whoopi Got the Habit by Matt Wolf

The films, of course, are drenched in the music of the times, and Sister Act on stage could have gone the jukebox musical route. Instead, Alan Menken, a composer who has himself won more Oscars than most of us have had cups of coffee, offers up an original score in the best pastiche tradition, which is to say that an entire era of disco, gospel, and blues pours forth from the stage, contributing to a score that, says Whoopi, “works just as well as the film, if not better.” Whoopi in any case knows first-hand the virtues of music-making when it comes to musical theatre: she was the unexpected choice to take over for Nathan Lane in the hit Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, directed by Jerry Zaks, and it is Zaks who directed Sister Act on Broadway – a vivid example of the sort of small-world department on which Broadway thrives. An African-American woman as the male roman slave, Pseudolus? We told you there wasn’t much this singular talent couldn’t do.

One simple gesture said it all: there it was, August, 2010, and Whoopi Goldberg had walked on stage for the press performance of her limited run as the Mother Superior in Sister Act, as a capacity crowd at the London Palladium cheered and hollered in a most gratifyingly un-English way. Taking in the applause, the star put a finger to her lips in order to silence the crowd. The show, as they say, must go on, and it was time to do so. That outpouring of affection wasn’t lost on a woman who has been wowing audiences in all art forms since the legendary New York director Mike Nichols first brought Whoopi to attention, presenting the then little known performer’s Broadway debut in 1984 at the Lyceum Theatre. Since that time, she was nominated for an Academy Award® for her screen debut in The Color Purple; went on to win an Oscar® five years later for her indelible supporting turn in Ghost; fronted various awards shows (including the Oscars, where one will never forget the sight of Whoopi abseiling down on to the stage like some madcap Mary Poppins only to announce herself as “the African Queen”); and has become a daytime TV personality in America courtesy her co-hosting duties on The View.

But Sister Act occupies a special place in the Whoopi canon, and not just because the source films that inspired the stage musical made a lot of money – more than $230 million in the case of the first one – and were also lots of fun. As that Palladium vignette served to indicate, here was a screen phenomenon returning to her theatre roots in front of an adoring crowd: Whoopi’s connection to the material remains undeniable and strong. Let’s just say that even when not in the production Whoopi hovers over the stage musical as more than a coproducer: a sort of beneficent, and inspirational, patron saint.

Sister Act, of course, tells the story of Deloris van Cartier, the nightclub singer-turned-nun who has become one of those characters that audiences know without needing to be reminded of the title of the film itself; Celie from The Color Purple is another. But when talk turned to fashioning the movie anew for the stage, Whoopi had no intention of ever appearing in it; instead, she was there to preside over something, in her view, “brand new, fresh and exciting,” that could mint a young leading lady-turned-star - just as Whoopi had herself been catapulted to attention thanks to her theatre work a quarter-century or more before.

Her intuition must have worked, given that Sister Act in London played more than 600 performances over 18 months, breaking box office records twice at the Palladium, and on Broadway was nominated for five Tony® Awards including Best Musical. In fact, the show has now been seen by over 3 million audience members across the globe, including productions in Hamburg, Vienna, Milan, and on tour throughout the UK, with upcoming productions scheduled to begin in Paris, Stuttgart, Scheveningen, Moscow, Madrid, Prague, Sao Paolo, Korea, and Japan. Expect a stage convention of Deloris-es someday soon.

And it’s surely not coincidental that Sondheim’s peerless lyrics for Forum’s uproarious opening number include the immortal line, “tragedy tomorrow/ comedy tonight.” That mantra could well apply equally to the hapless Deloris, a singer seeking refuge from the gun-toting Curtis, who finds both a safe home and the chance to send some women’s voices soaring within a convent that clearly didn’t realize all it needed was this feisty, winning outsider to wake them up. Sister Act may take its opening cues from the cries of a chanteuse in danger, but it builds toward a celebration not just of the sisterhood but of the power of soul, both musical and otherwise. In retrospect, small wonder Whoopi was keen to still her appreciative public in order to get the show on the road. You came to cheer, she seemed to be telling the sold-out house. Now stay to listen.

Guests will discover the intergalactic and imaginary plant invaders featured in Sci-Fi movies, literature and comic books from The Day of the Triffids to Little Shop of Horrors as well as how Earth’s real plants can invade new territory and the very real problems they can cause. From bufflegrass to leafy spurge, the exhibit will explore how these invaders threaten our native species, local community, and economy — and what can be done about it.

FILM! SECTION

REVIEWERS ROUNDTABLE The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.

‘The Act of Killing’

‘Short Term 12’

A documentary that challenges former Indonesian death squad leaders to reenact their real-life mass-killings in whichever cinematic genres they wish - including classic Hollywood crime scenarios and lavish musical numbers. (NR - 115 minutes)

Brie Larson plays a 20-something supervising staff member of a foster care facility who navigates the troubled waters of that world alongside her co-worker and longtime boyfriend (John Gallagher Jr.). (R - 96 minutes)

Stan: Disturbingly shocking on seeing the fervor and boasting of the death squad leaders as they reenacted their atrocities of long ago, director Joshua Oppenheimer sets a new high bar for documentary presentations to follow. As a Vietnam Veteran, memories long suppressed returned, further heightening my fervor of peace on planet Earth as the ultimate goal… Randy: Director Joshua Oppenheimer had created a fascinating and unique piece of documentary cinema that is unmatched in execution, reality and delivers a shock value unlike any other. The message about violence is clear and the horrors committed by these animalistic criminals shall never be forgotten. Despite this being award-worthy, one cannot help feel a wee bit of exploitation on behalf of the original victims.

90 22

Stan: Tragically inspiring as the stark realities tug at your heart, “Short Term 12” under the sure handed guidance of writer/director Destin Daniel Cretton and outstanding performances by the cast, reminds us of that basic human element for optimism called, ‘Hope’. Randy: Emotionally draining, but worth every minute. Short-list Brie Larson for Best Actress now, as she is a sure-fire contender. The supporting staff of teens is just as impressive. Joseph: “Short Term 12” is a deeply affecting film that earns each and every one of the emotions felt by its viewers in an exceptionally genuine way, demonstrating how hope always exists - even when it appears as though all hope is lost.

September 11th, 2013 - September 17th, 2013

‘Drinking Buddies’

‘Austenland’

Jake M. Johnson and Olivia Wilde play co-workers at a Chicago brewery, where they spend their days drinking and flirting. They are perfect for each other - except that they are both in relationships. Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick also star. (R - 90 minutes)

Keri Russell plays a woman who, obsessed with the BBC production of “Pride and Prejudice,” travels to a Jane Austen theme park in search for her perfect gentleman. (PG-13 97 minutes)

Joseph: “Drinking Buddies” operates so much sexual tension that it can be cut with a knife and addresses a universally relatable dilemma in a natural and authentic way with its heart in a goodintentioned place. The experience is extremely intoxicating.

Randy: A light-hearted take on an otherwise stuffy literally author. Not sure who the target audience is as it is quite silly. Stan: Director/Co-writer Jerusha Hess’ wonderfully enchanting view of a Jane Austen ‘wonderland’, is thoroughly inviting for avid readers of the romance fiction of the English novelist. A vacation there would be exceptional!

Matt DaMon’s top Movies “True Grit” (2010): Damon does a fine, naturalistic

job of reinventing LaBoeuf, the Texas Ranger played the first time by Glen Campbell. “Invictus” (2009): An Oscar nomination confirmed Damon’s excellence as a South African rugby team captain in Clint Eastwood’s drama. “Ocean’s Thirteen” (2007): Always amusing as the crime gang’s relative nerd, Damon is especially funny while paired with Ellen Barkin here. “Good Will Hunting” (1997): Not only convincing playing the high-IQ janitor, Damon (along with pal and co-star Ben Affleck) also shows his Oscar-winning writing skills here.

SOUNDBITE SPOTLIGHT

COLUMNISTS

The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf of movies recently released in theaters.

STAN ROBINSON

Director Michelle Danner (‘Hello Herman’) By Joseph J. Airdo “We watch our youth become completely addicted to certain aspects of the Internet and become more and more desensitized. And we keep wondering why these tragedies keep happening - especially in schools. As parents, we think that we have it all under control but there are times when we don’t. It can happen to anybody. Nobody can be immune. I think that we are all part of this and we have to keep raising the awareness of these problems and what they lead to.

“I think it is just a very interesting conversation that we need to keep

having as to why this happens. I just thought the subject matter was very provocative and something that needed to be explored. There is this perception that there is a certain kind of kid that would snap when in fact that is not true. It can be a kid on the honor roll. We have always known that there is cruelty and bullying in our education system but now there are certain weapons that the kids have, like the Internet.

RANDY MONTGOMERY

“This movie is about connection. It is about reaching out to someone else especially as the world of technology increases. In several test screenings, people have come up to me and said, ‘I want to go home and hug my child.’ Someone very famous came up to me and said, ‘I am canceling my business trip tomorrow and staying home to cook breakfast for my children. When people came up to me and said those things, I felt that the things that I wanted the movie to be about were coming through.” Michelle Danner

Randy Montgomery’s reactions reveal the emotional intuition of an average moviegoer. With a master’s degree in counseling and education, Randy grounds his opinions in a unique combination of both a movie’s surface entertainment value and its ability to affect him on an even deeper level. E-mail him at Randyjay7694@yahoo.com.

JOSEPH J. AIRDO

In “Hello Herman,” which is now available on video-on-demand, Norman Reedus plays a famous journalist who interviews a 16-yearold boy (Garrett Backstrom) who is awaiting sentencing after entering his suburban school and killing 39 students, two teachers and a police officer.

Stan Robinson’s reviews reflect the insights of an insider. With more than 22 years of experience in media production, Stan uses his behind-the-scenes expertise to survey a film’s technical attributes and considers the challenges that had to be overcome in order to cinematically present a story. E-mail him at Movies@StanRobinson.org.

‘Behind-the-Scenes’ - ‘Escape Plan’ By Stan Robinson In this mystery thriller, when a structural-security authority (Sylvester Stallone) finds himself incarcerated in a prison he designed, he has to put his skills to the test to escape and find out who framed him. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Caviezel, Vincent D’Onofrio, 50 Cent, and Sam Neill.Summit Entertainment release (Rated R)

ABOUT THE FILM
