FAM ILY

CELEBR ATES 25 YE ARS John Fagan’s worst memory as director of the Upstate Shakespeare Festival is also his best memory.

In 2003, a torrential downpour devasted the festival’s outdoor production of Shakespeare’s “King John.”

“The Reedy River flooded the area and we lost the entire set,” said Fagan, the festival’s producing artistic director.

But then the Greenville community sprang into action.

“As soon as the story went out on the noon news broadcast,” Fagan said, “my phone started ringing off the hook, with people saying ‘We want to help. This is too important to us. How can we help?’

“Soon there were two dozen people down there, dragging stuff out of the mud, recovering as much as we could,” Fagan added. “Around 5 p.m., a woman called and

said, ‘I can’t work in the mud, but I want you to tell me how many people you have down there and I’ll send drinks and pizza for everyone.”

treasured the Upstate Shakespeare Festival, this summer celebrating 25 years of admission-free outdoor performances.

“In the same day, I went from despair, from seeing our entire set, all our hard work, go down the river to suddenly realizing how important we were to this community,” Fagan said.

“I feel like that’s a trust we have to live up to because our audiences are part of the festival,” he added. “They’re part of our family.”

‘ROMEO’ AND ‘TEMPEST’ n photo by BONFIRE VISUALS

Community volunteers rebuilt the set in Piazza Bergamo in downtown Greenville and the show, against all odds, went on.

Fagan recognized how much Greenville

This year’s festival, already underway in Falls Park, features Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” (through June 16) and “The Tempest” (July 11-Aug. 4). Plus, the festival will offer a staged reading of “Measure for Measure” (in June and July) indoors at the Hughes Main Li-

brary.

For the festival’s 25th anniversary season, Fagan wanted something special: thus the ever-popular (perhaps the most popular) Shakespeare play of them all: “Romeo and Juliet.” Adam Jones and Jaimie Malphrus are featured as the starcrossed lovers.

“People love ‘Romeo and Juliet,’” said Fagan, who has led the festival for two decades. “We could perform it every season and the audiences would come out.”

Plus, Fagan, who directs all Upstate Shakespeare Festival’s plays, loves to revisit a classic after a few years, bringing new and relevant ideas to his staging.

Lately, he’s been thinking about “Romeo and Juliet” as a tragedy not only about passionate young love but also about how tribal hatred can wreak havoc.

NEED TO KNOW

“At the end, you have three families devastated,” Fagan said. “You have the Montagues with no heirs, the Capulets with no heirs, the prince with no heirs.

You have a community ruined by the ancient feud between these two families.

That is what we’re after this time, looking at the destruction of a community as well as these families.”

The fundamentals of an Upstate Shakespeare Festival performance have remained the same throughout its history.

The play is briskly delivered in two hours by about two dozen actors dressed in contemporary costumes to emphasize the universality and timelessness of Shakespeare’s themes.

Modern clothes also are cooler for the actors on a hot Greenville night.

“Back in the day, Shakespeare’s actors wore their own clothing,” Fagan said. “If they were going to be a lawyer, they’d put on a hat. We re-establish that shorthand.

If someone puts on a lab coat, they’re a doctor. I think it’s also among the best ways to tell the story.”

This year, however, for the first time, some Elizabethan costumes will appear in an Upstate Shakespeare production.

“The Capulets’ party is a costume party, an Elizabethan party,” Fagan said. “So, for the balcony scene, Romeo and Juliet will still be in their Elizabethan clothing.”

‘FAMILY’ OF ACTORS

The festival’s actors, many of them veterans of past productions, are a uniquely dedicated and tight-knit group, Fagan said.

Everyone pitches in, building sets, loading in equipment and tearing it all down in the end.

“We have created a family down here, working in the mud, building things, covered in sawdust and bug spray, but we’re laughing together, enjoying each other’s company, having a great time,” he said.

How does Fagan feel to be celebrating 20 years with the festival?

He laughs: “Exhausted every day, and old!

Honestly, though, I’m very, very proud. I would never have believed that we would be here when we started this. I’ve seen people come every year, and children grow up who now are taking part in the shows. That, to me, is just amazing. We know this is sometimes people’s first exposure to live theater and live Shakespeare. I hope they walk away having enjoyed it. And to be a part of the success of Greenville is really exciting. This is Falls Park’s 15th year. We were the first performance at Falls Park.”

Furman University announced it will rename James C. Furman Hall and erect a statue of Joseph Vaughn, the first black student to attend the school, as part of a series of recommendations from its board.

The university’s board deliberated for months before announcing the actions it will take in an attempt to acknowledge the role slavery and racism had in the school’s history.

In the fall, the university announced it would also expand its Joseph Vaughn Scholarship to $1 million per year — the need-based scholarship has been around since 1999 and is focused on black students from around one of the four communities Furman’s campus has been located historically: Edgefield, the High Hills of Santee, Winnsboro, and Greenville.

The recommendations come almost a year following the release of the “Seeking Abraham” report the school’s Task Force on Slavery and Justice released last summer. The report highlighted the enslaved people who helped build the school, and it shined a light on James C. Furman — the first president of the school and a staunch supporter of slavery.

While many higher education institutions have been the subject of scrutiny in recent years for memorializing controversial figures on campus — the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill’s

Confederate soldier statue called Silent Sam, Yale University’s Calhoun College, named after John C. Calhoun — Furman has attempted to come out in front of the outrage.

The school formed its Task Force on Slavery and Justice not long after a student wrote an op-ed calling on the university to acknowledge its history.

The task force gave the school 19 recommendations, most of which were in the school’s official actions announced Wednesday.

Furman’s board also formed a special committee to look into the feasibility of the changes before announcing the recommendations.

“The task force and the special committee approached this endeavor with a very clear understanding and appreciation of how important this matter is to Furman,” board member and committee chairman Baxter Wynn said. “And so they took time, probably more time than some folks wanted us to take, but we took time and great care, and [we] were dedicated and thoughtful and deliberate.”

Elizabeth Davis, president of Furman, said the process with which the board embraced the campus community’s concerns could be a model for other schools.

“We talked to experts from other universities that had already been through these kinds of processes to figure out what were best practices and what were

worst practices,” Davis said. “Typically, there’s the groundswell from students, faculty, and staff to address these issues — that part is fairly similar. The way the board has engaged has been the unique part of this process.”

Davis said the university doesn’t have a timeline for the projects but will start on them immediately.

Shekinah Lightner, a rising senior and member of the task force, said she was pleased with the board’s recommendations.

“I am just ready to see things happening around campus. I think that will validate the work that we’ve done,” Lightner said. “I think it sets the stage for even greater change for Furman.”

Brandon Inabinet, associate professor of communication studies and co-chair of the task force, released a statement in support of the announcement.

“Our goal all along was to educate with a sense of belonging and justice for all Furman students, in line with the Furman Advantage, and the trustees’ tireless work to study each recommendation demonstrates the same transformational and educational experience we underwent in forming the recommendations,” Inabinet said in the statement. “Reconciliation and healing will be possible; we have some important work to do now to get there.”

SUMMER MUSIC CAMPS

Pecknel Music of Greenville offering 6 summer camps n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos PROVIDED From ukulele and piano to oboe and cello, you can learn how to play it at Pecknel Music of Greenville — no matter your age or experience level. The 60-year-old music company rolls out its six summer camps this June with drum circle, ukulele, band, orchestra, rock band, and song writing.

Pecknel president and owner Jeremiah Manriquez, who’s also a parent, understands the struggle to find summer activities for kids that are fun yet educational. So, Pecknel music camps offer just that — a fun educational experience.

“I like the idea of something that can actually enhance and enrich the lives of not just the children but the families,” he says. “I think we all live and breathe music.”

The value of music is almost inde-

scribable, according to Manriquez.

“It’s the opportunity to actually communicate with other people and share this experience with other people, which is something that brings a strong sense of community and self worth to someone that’s playing music,” he says.

Calling music therapy, Manriquez considers music beneficial on personal, physical, mental, and spiritual levels. “It brings people together and gives us this commonality that we can share and talk about, this dialogue that we can talk about or sing about or connect with,” he says.

All camps meet at Greenville’s Pecknel Music on 1312 N. Pleasantburg Drive. Each camp ends with a celebratory musical finale at local venues for students, families, and friends to enjoy.

TEACHER SALARY INCREASE Greenville County Schools becomes first SC district to start teacher salary at $40,000 n story by ARIEL GILREATH Teachers with zero to two years of experience and a bachelor’s degree in Greenville County Schools will start out earning $40,000 next year — the highest starting teacher salary in South Carolina — after board members unanimously approved a $668.47 million budget.

Three people spoke in support of the Greenville County Schools budget during a public hearing just before the district’s second reading.

Sherry East, president of the South Carolina Education Association, said the district’s budget hit on nearly every goal the organization wants addressed — higher teacher pay, lower class sizes, more mental health counselors, and assured planning time for teachers.

“This will make Greenville County Schools more competitive to attract top quality teachers, but also it’s a positive step towards elevating the teaching profession as a whole,” Greenville County Schools teacher of the year Shelley Smith said.

The budget hinged on the state legislature’s approval of aspects of the Senate’s budget, which passed last week and will fund a 4% raise for teachers across the state.

It also relied on a 6-mill increase, which impacts taxes on vehicles and businesses, but not owner-occupied homes.

The tax increase varies depending on the property and vehicle value — a 2008 Honda Accord’s taxes would increase $1.32 for the year, while a 2019 Honda Accord would in-

crease $9 for the year. The district estimates a restaurant in the county would see an annual increase of $97.80, and a flower shop would see an increase of about $233.76.

The proposed 6-mill increase is just slightly above the 5.7-mill increase a South Carolina Department of Revenue formula recommended this year in order for the district to keep up with inflation and population growth in the county.

“I am one that very seldom will vote for millage increase — very seldom have I ever — but it comes to education and safety and all that these professionals do,” said board member Lynda Leventis-Wells.

The budget includes a 4% increase for non-teachers, who haven’t received a salary increase in two years. All teachers in the district will receive a pay increase of between 5% and 10.1%, with the average increase being 6.5%.

The budget also includes six additional elementary special education personnel, 12 positions to reduce the student-teacher class size ratio from 19:1 to 18:1 for first grade classes, 33 positions to reduce the number of allowable class size overages in second through fifth grade classes, 74.5 positions to allow teachers a 30-minute planning period, and 14.5 school counselor positions to reduce the ratio of middle and high school students to counselors from 275:1 to 250:1.

“This is an educator’s budget,” board member Michelle Goodwin-Calwile said.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS ■■ $28,661,000

CLOSING THE GAP

New Greenville Housing Fund CEO brings 17 years of affordable housing experience n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photos by WILL CROOKS

Bryan Brown is hoping to close the geographical gap between affordable housing and jobs in Greenville County — but it won’t be easy.

The city and county currently have a shortfall of about 12,000 affordable homes, and it’s growing by more than 500 each year, according to a study.

Brown, 55, was named CEO of the newly created Greenville Housing Fund earlier this month — he comes from the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, an agency that deals with about 15,000 vouchers and units combined. Brown was chief development officer before he was the chief operating officer at the housing agency.

“Affordable housing is one of the biggest topics all over the country — there’s a growing crisis nationally, and I appreciate and am thankful that it’s top of mind locally at the community leader level,” Brown said. “Because Greenville has a robust economy, it is a high demand area in terms of people looking to move here, and the affordable housing continuum is part of that economic development and workforce development.”

Brown said the Greenville Housing Fund has already issued a request for proposal for a consultant that can take what the city and county already know from past studies and drill down to target specific income earners — Brown wants to know exactly how many units are needed for those who earn 30% of the median income, 80% of the median income, and so on.

“Affordability means different things to different people,” Brown said. “The Greenville Housing Fund specifically targets people making $55,000 and below, and $50 to $55 might sound like an OK income to a lot of people, but if you’ve got a family and one or two kids, go try to find housing and pay for everything [on that]. It’s hard to do.”

Brown said one of the biggest affordable housing problems comes from developers building housing units and assigning cost based on how much money can be recouped from purchasing the land and construction, rather than the actual demand.

“Sometimes, what’s being built is not really driven by the demand side, in terms of people,” Brown said. “It becomes a math problem of, ‘If I build X type of units at X number, and here’s the cost, this is what I’m going to have to charge to get my money back and a small return.’ That’s how this works, and so we have to figure out ways to better match supply with the demand.”

Brown said making sure housing units are being built where jobs are located is a priority, along with preserving the affordability of existing neighborhoods.

“I’m very excited about the work ahead and the opportunity to have an impact,” Brown said.

Scottish Games

There were kilts and Celtic music galore as the 2019 Scottish Games kicked off last Friday in downtown Greenville. The festivities continued on Saturday at Furman University with a British Classic car show, a Border Collie demonstration, and of course, the heavy athletics competition complete with caber tossing. The day was capped off with a Scottish happy hour featuring pints of Gallabrae Scottish Ale from Thomas Creek Brewery.

INDIE CRAFT PARADE

celebrates 10 years, announces move to Timmons Arena

n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos by WILL CROOKS

The calculated financial impact of the three-day Indie Craft Parade 2018 on the Greenville area was nearly $900,000, according to the organizers.

That’s no small number for a festival launched 10 years ago by Greenville creatives and founders Erin Godbey, Jen Moreau, and Lib Ramos who were looking for a way to support local and regional makers.

“In 2010, we told ourselves that if the festival was well received then maybe we would do it again the following year,” Ramos says.

“Little did we know how supportive Greenville was going to be of Indie Craft Parade and our artists.”

This year’s 10th anniversary festival Sept.

13-15 is expected to have even more of an impact, and to accommodate continued year-over-year growth, Indie Craft Parade (ICP) is moving locations again.

Spending eight years downtown at Huguenot Mill and in 2018 moving to the newly renovated Southern Bleachery makers space at Taylors Mill, ICP will host the 2019 festival at Furman University’s Timmons Arena, the site of the former Hills Skills craft festival that ended around 2008.

“Last year, we moved the festival to offer more artists more room to exhibit, and this year we’re excited to have more space for attendees too,” Ramos says.

The long lines and parking woes of years past should finally be assuaged with this move, she says, and give the festival a permanent home that can accommodate continued growth.

The continuity of returning a celebration of local makers to Timmons Arena is also important for the community, Ramos says.

Additionally, ICP is moving its year-round

operations to that side of town. Ramos says they’ve signed a lease for an 1,800-squarefoot office/pop-up retail space at 2909 Old Buncombe Road and will make the move in July. This will be the new location for ICP’s popular annual holiday pop up shop in November and December and eventually be available for artists to use the space for trunk shows, pop-ups, and equipment rentals.

“We’re always exploring new ways to support artists, and while we’ve got some fun things in the works, Indie Craft Parade is one of the biggest ways we make that happen. I don’t see that changing anytime soon,” Ramos says of their future plans.

That original desire to support artists has helped transform new makers’ efforts from an experiment into full-time businesses pulling in five-digit profits over the festival weekend alone, not to mention the exposure to thousands of people that leads to year-round online sales increases.

Bill Mitchell, founder of Billiam, which makes custom jeans, shirts, and plans to branch into accessories this Fall, set up a table at the first Indie Craft Parade with folded jeans and nothing else. He didn’t even have the business formally formed, nor was he there to sell anything. It was a way of gauging interest in his new venture and get his name out there.

“It taught me that I was good at what I did,” he says.

Now, he pulls in five-figures each weekend with a steady stream of 50 regulars each buying a pair of jeans every year, on top of all the new business.

Sarah Mandell of Once Again Sam applied with her jewelry and needle-felting work in 2011 and was accepted for needle-felting.

At the fall festival she had incredible success with a spike in Etsy sales continuing months after handing out thousands of business cards.

What began as a hobby has now turned into a three-quarter-time job for Mandell, who also works part-time as an interior designer for LS3P.

Allison and Jamie Nadeau of Ink Meets Paper based in Charleston, and first-time ICP jurors this year, specialize in wholesale paper crafts. Wholesale accounts keep them busy and away from much personal interaction with customers, so a weekend of seeing responses to their work real-time is invaluable research and development, Allison Nadeau says.

“Indie Craft Parade is one of only craft shows that we do,” she says. “It says a lot about them. The caliber of the event is so detail-oriented and makes it so wonderful as a vendor.”

Deb Potter of Merciful Hearts Farm, has sold her hand-spun yarn at the downtown Greenville Saturday Market since its inception. She jumped in to join Indie Craft Parade the first year and has continued to support the effort through the years.

She continues to take that particular Saturday off of the famers market to attend ICP instead because of the huge financial benefit.

“I make a month’s worth of income in a weekend,” Potter says.

For Potter, also, ICP is the only craft show she attends as a vendor and credits the founders and dozens of volunteers for making the experience a pleasure rather than the horror stories she’s heard about other shows.

“On paper, anybody could pull it off, but they do it with so much grace and so much heart. It 100 percent goes back to who those women are,” she says.

Maker and designer Rebecca Hughes weaves together various textures and colors to create handmade pillows and other home goods.

Influenced by her childhood spent in Ukraine, Hughes developed a passion for artistic expression through interior design.

“I grew up around a lot of artwork, national dancing, and a lot of…national outfits that were embroidered,” she says.

Studying interior design in the States, Hughes was drawn to functional art. “So that’s what made me more interested in it — like what can I do that would look nice and bring inspiration to the people who look at it, but also be something that you can use every day,” she says.

Now, Hughes weaves and sews her functional artwork from her Greenville home to share with others.

“I love texture. Everything that I do definitely has a lot of texture,” she says. “And, I love for things to be neutral and simple.”

Calling the home a sanctuary, Hughes says a seemingly insignificant piece of decor such as a pillow can add an extra bit of joy and unique interest to the room.

“The pillow is that I wanted to help other people find that in their own homes — a place that they enjoy being and feel comfortable but also find inspiration.”

Working full time at an architecture firm, Hughes understands the need for an afterwork haven. “I really want for my products to help with that process,” she says. “So that when they do come home, their homes are a place that they can recharge, relax, and find inspiration in what’s around them.”

Constantly gathering ideas from textures,

colors, and composition, Hughes revisits her ideas time after time until she’s ready to hit the loom. As is true with traditional art forms, Hughes’ new pieces often take a few tries before they’re perfected and ready for customers.

“I feel like my best work is generally when I take time to let the process take shape and not try to force it in one go,” she says.

After the weaving part of the process, Hughes then takes different fabrics and begins sewing the pillow. She does a lot of custom work to ensure customers get the piece that fits their style and home.

“Especially for your home, it’s something that’s so personal to you as far as like everyone has different colors and themes that are running through their home,” Hughes says.

“So oftentimes, like artwork or pillows or whatever won’t be a one size fits all.”

Two classic latent lovers visit Greenville in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ adaptation n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by JESSE BARBER

M AY 31 / / G R E E N V I L L E J O U R N A L . C O M

THINGS TO SEE & DO

Jane Austen’s classic lovers — the strong-willed Elizabeth Bennet and the proud Mr. Darcy — stroll off the pages of “Pride and Prejudice” and onto the stage at The Warehouse Theatre.

In Kate Hamill’s contemporary adaptation, Elizabeth remains the independent, outspoken woman who Austen penned in the early 1800s. Playing the role of Elizabeth, Amanda Sox says her character likes to laugh and enjoys wordplay. “[She’s] just a little bit more of free spirit than perhaps other people of society of the day,” Sox says. “She is decidedly against marriage. She’s never going to get married.”

Considering love nothing but a game, Lizzie thinks it’s pointless. “Other people take it very seriously or completely unseriously,” Sox says.

Two of Sox’s favorite scenes include two proposals gone wrong. “You kind of get to see Elizabeth’s awkward turmoil manifested on stage in a very visually hilarious way,” she says.

While packed with fast-paced humor, heart, and costume changes, the play is surprisingly easy to follow, according to the cast.

Portraying Mrs. Bennet, Bretteney Beverly says her character believes marriage comes first then love.

“She is the matriarch of her family and her duty is to get her daughters married at all costs, despite their objections — many objections,” Beverly says.

Although, she enjoys playing matchmaker for her daughters, Mrs. Bennet has good intentions. “At the core of everything I believe for her is that her daughters’ futures are secured,” Beverley says.

Both die-hard Austen fans and Austen newbies can appreciate the heart and humor of the adaptation.

“The heart of the show is ever present,” Beverly says. “I think it’s the through line. I think all Austen fans, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ fans will still get that and won’t miss it at all.”

Director Jay Briggs ensured the main themes and characters permeate the roughly two-hour play. “What I think is great about this adaptation of the story is that it’s unabashedly a play,” he says.

Acknowledging that characters are actors performing for an audience, the “Pride and Prejudice” play radiates with theatrical energy.

“You’re sort of invited to come along and play the game with us,” Briggs says.

“The fun of it is most of the cast play

multiple characters, and the audience knows that and is in on the joke.”

The scenic design by Will Lowry also immerses the audience further into the experience. With the thrust stage, guests will truly feel as if they’re sitting in the drawing room/ballroom.

“We were also very taken thematically with the way in the novel a lot of the major revelations for the characters happen in exterior spaces whether its the garden or at Pemberley outside,” Briggs says.

“

THE FUN OF IT IS MOST OF THE CAST PLAY

MULTIPLE CHARACTERS AND THE AUDIENCE KNOWS THAT AND IS IN ON

THE JOKE. JAY BRIGGS director

To honor those outdoor moments, Briggs and Lowry chose to have a big branch bursting into the room. The wallpaper also features outdoor elements to tie in Austen’s theme of social constraints on the wild, free spirit.

“It’s a really fun production of a really timeless story,” Briggs says. “You can hopefully walk away feeling that there’s something about love that defies the barriers that we put up against ourselves.”

GIRL POWER

Comedy ‘First Baptist of Ivy Gap’ recognizes female power, full acceptance n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by ESCOBAR PHOTOGRAPHY

Six very different women — the atypical pastor’s wife, the mother of a soldier, the church’s rebellious organist, the wannabe Hollywood actress, the shy newcomer harboring a secret, and the influential Baptist also keeping a secret — become unlikely friends in Mill Town Players’ “First Baptist of Ivy Gap.” Known as the “First Baptist Six,” the women bond over rolling bandages during World War II and planning the church’s 75th anniversary. Fast-forward 25 years, and they’re reunited.

“The friendships that they forged years earlier tie them together again as they recount the years apart and find redemption in revealing secrets that might have been kept for too long,” local director Christopher Rose says.

“First Baptist of Ivy Gap” shares messages of strength in community, power of female experience, and unconditional acceptance and love — with humor and pathos throughout.

“The power of the female voice and experience as a transformational force is a beautiful thread that runs through the story,” he says.

Rose says society as a whole too often overlooks the perspective women bring.

“I hope the ladies in our audience walk away with the affirmation that their ideas and perspectives are invaluable treasures and that the gentlemen walk away with a greater respect for how much those voices can change us all for the better,” he says.

Directing a southern comedy about six women spanning 25 years of experiences posed some challenges for Rose.

“How was I supposed to direct those thoughts and emotions? It would be very easy to slide down the slippery slope of

‘mansplaining,’” he says. Rather than pretending to fully understand the female experience, Rose aimed to let women speak for women.

“I set out to let the words of the characters and more importantly the voices of my wonderful actresses be my true north,” he says. “Each one has such a unique emotional color, personal history, cadence, stance, perspective, and story to tell. And, they bring that to these characters in such a natural and beautiful way.”

Local actress Libby Riggins plays the part of pastor’s wife, Edith Ellington — although not the typical pastor’s wife that first comes to mind.

“It has been liberating playing her this way, especially considering ‘pastor’s wife’ and ‘liberated woman’ are two contradictory terms these days,” Riggins says.

With similar traits as Edith, Riggins enjoys the witty laughs her character adds to the show’s dynamic.

“I say I was typecast because Edith uses humor to help every situation, especially ones that make her feel emotionally vulnerable,” she says. “She is also the peacekeeper, and all is right in her world when everyone is happy.”

Audiences will witness how the “First Baptist Six” save one another and that, while not biologically related, family can be found in unlikely people.

“We show the love of Christ in this play. Full acceptance, no matter who you are. Full love, with no boundaries and no judgement,” Riggins says. “I hope the audience walks away with this tucked into their heart.”

THINGS TO SEE & DO

U P STAT E WITH VINCENT HARRIS I’ve talked about Sarah Shook before. I’ve talked about the two albums she’s made with her first-rate band, The Disarmers and how intensely emotional her live shows can be. Shook can tear your heart out with just a few verses in her plainspoken, flatly honest voice.

But as I prepared to interview her about her return to the Radio Room in Greenville on June 3, I realized that I didn’t know a lot about how this Chapel Hill, North Carolina, singer/songwriter began the acclaimed music career that’s seen her albums “Sidelong” and “Years” draw praise from taste-makers like No Depression magazine, the Saving Country Music website, Rolling Stone, and many more. So I asked.

“I started becoming interested in music when I was 8 or 9 years old,” she says. “My folks had this absolutely awful out-of-tune upright piano,

U P S TAT E B E AT

COUNTRY TWANG The evolution of Sarah Shook and that was a catchall in our hallway for clutter.

I taught myself to play on that piano.”

At age 16, Shook began teaching herself guitar. But she still didn’t actually play any live shows until she was 21 years old.

“I was writing songs was really just for myself,” she says. “I found it very comforting and centering.”

But even when she played for an audience for the first time, she still didn’t really catch the performing bug.

“It was OK,” she says of that show. “I was doing this mellow singer/songwriter thing, and I didn’t really hate it, but I’ve never really been ambitious, and I’ve never been the kind of person who wanted to hit the big time or get that big break.”

ist Eric Peterson began working together in 2010. They went through several different bands, including a drummerless old-school country group, before figuring out what they really wanted to do. The duo eventually formed The Disarmers, but even then, Shook wasn’t that interested in trying to record her music or touring beyond her immediate area.

That’s when Peterson essentially threw down the gauntlet.

“Eric sent the whole band this really long email,” she says. “He’s a man of few words, so when you get a paragraphs-long email from him, you’re going to pay attention. He said, ‘If we’re not going to put out a record, and if we’re only going to tour within a three-hour radius, that’s fine, but you need to let me know so I can adjust my expectations.’”

Not wanting to lose Peterson, Shook jumped into action, reaching out to Manifold Studios in Pittsboro, North Carolina, to set up recording dates. That’s where the band recorded “Sidelong,” which they released independently in 2015. They caught the attention of Bloodshot Records, a label that signed the band and gave “Sidelong” a national release.

“The biggest adjustment was that our contract stated that we had to be on the road a minimum of 150 dates a year,” she says.

“That was very difficult.”

| ARTS & CULTURE

Ultimately, what turned Shook around on live performance, and on the idea of committing to a music career, wasn’t ambition, but her connection to the band that was standing behind her.

“I love my bandmates,” she says. “The thing that kept me going was, ‘You got in this boat, and now you have people depending on you,’” she says. “You have a responsibility to them.”

And now, Shook says there’s nowhere she’d rather be than onstage with The Disarmers. “I love our records,” she says. “I’m really happy with them. But there’s NOTHING like playing a live show.”

THE FOOD WORLD’S RISKIEST BUSINESS

Ever forgotten your whisk and made one out of two coat hangers?

Or shown up to an event site with no kitchen when you were expecting one and still managed to pull off a dinner for 450 people?

Or how about prepping to feed 75 wedding guests tomorrow and finding out with 12 hours to go the headcount more than doubled?

If you answered “yes” to any of those real scenarios, you must be a caterer.

Caterers are the unsung heroes of the culinary world – even though they’re also some of the most resourceful, resilient, and reliable adrenaline junkies in the industry.

Food writers and frequent cooking TV show guests Matt and Ted Lee of Charleston discovered the extent to which all of those traits are true while undercover for four years on various catering staffs in the high-pressure catering climate of New York

City.

In their new book “Hotbox: Inside Catering, the Food World’s Riskiest Business” the Lee brothers write about the physically and emotionally taxing work they previously disregarded.

On June 2, they will present an even more behind-the-scenes perspective during a Sunday SitDown Supper at M.Judson Booksellers with Grits and Groceries chefs Heidi and Joe Trull providing courses inspired by the book.

“We really didn’t have any developed sense of what catering was,” Ted Lee says. “That’s the reason why it had been outside of our regard.”

There’s also the stigma of food made in large quantities.

“If the numbers are scaled up, the quality must suffer,” he says of his previous disposition.

Some of that comes from the frequent exposure to institutional food, like school lunches, and any

THINGS TO SEE & DO

other large-scale dining format, he says.

But, unintentional ignorance is also to blame.

Ted says as soon as he and his brother entered the catering arena, all of those previously held opinions viewing catering as a tier below typical restaurant operations disappeared.

“It’s simply that we viewed catering as more of a sub-culture than it actually is,” Matt Lee says. “It’s actually culture.”

Both the high quality and deft execution of the dishes prepared by the catering teams on which the Lees worked were a surprise, Ted Lee says.

“They were aiming to do food every bit

M AT T A N D T E D L E E

as exquisite and responsibly sourced,” he says, comparing them to restaurants.

And caterers often have to turn out that quality in a different event venue every night, using different on-site kitchen facilities or none at all, along with any number of other variables working against their success.

Yet they pull it off, sometimes four or five times a day, without guests knowing any of the frequent crises averted.

One of the unexpected outcomes of “Hotbox” was discovering the vast catering community that would feel seen and heard as a result, Matt Lee says.

The goal for the book was to make it accessible to a popular audience, but a giant audience of people involved in catering have read the book and resonated with the brothers’ experience, he says.

One of those is Chris Rosensteel of The Uptown Company, which recently catered the VIP tent at Artisphere. Upon reading “Hotbox,” he says he couldn’t

| ARTS & CULTURE

have identified more with the volatility and high-stress, yet rewarding, industry it described.

“Finally, a food book that I can truly relate to,” he says. “Caterers in general are under-appreciated in the hospitality business. We’re not a second-class chef.”

Having to adapt to unforeseen circumstances and pivot from one menu and theme to the next in a completely different location appeals to a certain personality of chef, he says.

“It’s definitely an adrenaline rush,” Rosensteel says of his chosen career working in the family business. “Everything we do is on the clock.”

By that he means caterers are racing the clock to complete the prep, load the van, set up the space, and be ready to serve with a smile, all the while encountering and averting unexpected potential crises.

“Every job is a competition of how good this can be and how can we get this done in a timely matter,” he says.

Chef Daniel Lopez of Time to Taste Catering could write his own book on the often unbelievable occurrences before, during, and after his events, he says.

There’s the time he showed up for a 200-guest happy hour event and none of his four staff members did, and he pulled it off solo.

“It was the same feeling I had after running a half-marathon,” he says. “I was exhausted.”

Or when a tray of food gets turned over or dropped, he has to pull together another dish for hundreds of people from the ingredients on hand.

Sometimes the skills required at events extend beyond the culinary or party planning.

Lopez recently caught a guest who fainted and was 6 inches away from faceplanting squarely in a boiling pan of paella.

When the job is done well, and the mishaps handled without guests knowing, Rosensteel describes that feeling as an “existential moment.”

“That feeling lasts for about 5 minutes,” he says, rattling off the four events in four different locations with four different menus he would complete the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. “I honestly love that about catering.”
