The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

MATT OWENS’ NAME HAS APPEARED ON THE BRIGHT WHITE MARQUEE outside

the Joy Theater several times. Owens — a self-described “Kenny Rogers” comedian whose deliberate, Southerndrawl storytelling recounts an overly detailed online dating profile and the time he rode in a trunk to buy crack — says his friends often text him, “Hey, your name is up here.”

“I’m like, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ve already taken a bunch of pictures,’” he says.

A new series of stand-up comedy shows at the Joy is the first in town to put local comedians on a marquee.

Kicking off the Joy’s 2016 comedy season is the first of eight Stand-Up NOLA shows — on March 4, Laura Sanders headlines a bill with Shervey Carter, Dane Faucheux, Lauren LaBorde, Kamari Stevens and Chris Trew. This year, Stand-Up NOLA features four locals-only showcases and four shows over the summer featuring touring headliners with local openers, all with diverse lineups and styles — of “people who are more cerebral, others who are more animated,” Owens says.

In 2014, Owens was among a handful of local comics (including Joe Cardosi, Katie East, Drew Platt and Andrew Polk) opening for Louis C.K. at the Joy. “My goal after that night was, ‘Man, I really want to get back on that stage,’” Owens says. Last year, Owens premiered, produced and hosted three locals-only comedy shows at the Joy that served as a trial run for the 2016 season. “I wanted to build this thing bringing different people together on a big show,” he says. “I really want to grow the scene in New Orleans and be an integral part of it.”

The city’s stand-up comedy renaissance has expanded from a handful of open mics and showcases to shows every night of the week,

whether in bars, a full-time improv and sketch theater, or standing-room only crowds at music venues. And comedians now are moving to New Orleans to make it their home base.

“I kind of wanted to move here before it got huge,” says Sanders, who moved from Ohio to New Orleans in 2015. “I wanted to sneak in here now while it’s a new thing rather than get on the train late. I want to be part of the train. … It’s so awesome to see a scene where anything you see, a comedian built. The creativity that goes into shows, the passion that goes into shows, and how many shows can thrive here. It’s all people coming here because they liked the energy of the scene.”

Sanders has performed comedy for nearly a decade, and in February, her live album Oh God Please Like Me debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ comedy chart. (A bonus track, “Lagniappe,” featuring fellow Ohio

ex-pat Kamari Stevens, was recorded in New Orleans.)

“If you really want to do comedy — what really made me want to move here the most, which sounds dumb because it sounds like a diet plan: It’s a lifestyle, it’s not one decision,” Sanders says. “It’s the thing you’re doing every day. I was like, ‘Where do I want to be doing that every day?’”

FRI.-SUN. MARCH 4-20 | Four audience members get a shot at the trophy in the musical about a small town’s annual spelling bee and its cast of quirky young competitors.

At 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts.

Dead Man Walking FRI. & SUN. MARCH 4 & 6 | The New Orleans Opera Association presents composer Jake Heggie and librettist Terrence McNally’s modern opera based on Sister Helen Prejean’s work with death row inmates. At 8 p.m. Friday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.

1.2 million

The number of rides Uber drivers made in New Orleans in 2015.

ACCORDING TO A REPORT THIS MONTH FROM MAYOR MITCH LANDRIEU’S OFFICE, “transportation network companies” (or TNCs, like Uber) are expanding for-hire ride service “to historically less-served areas such as Algiers and New Orleans East.” More than half of taxi rides begin in the French Quarter and Central Business District — but only 40 percent of Uber rides start there, according to the report. There were 2.8 million cab rides in 2015, still up from 2013’s 2.6 million but down slightly from 2014’s 2.9 million.

Cab drivers sued the city earlier this year, citing what they called UberX drivers’ unfair advantage, saying TNC drivers don’t need more rigorous permits or vehicle checks, despite the city’s sweeping (and expensive) cab requirements.

Meanwhile, Lyft — an Uber competitor that also uses an app-based hail-a-ride service — plans to open in the New Orleans area this year and is recruiting drivers on its website. — ALEX WOODWARD

COMMENTARY

Louisianans will cast ballots in national party nominating primaries in which their voices mean much more than usual.

THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL RACE HAS ALREADY SEEN LOTS OF INTERESTING TWISTS, and another one is coming

Saturday, March 5: Louisianans will cast ballots in national party nominating primaries in which their voices mean much more than usual. The Democratic and Republican nominations are far from settled, which is causing some heartburn in both parties (particularly the GOP). This year it means six states — Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska and Louisiana — will be heard this coming weekend.

Consider that in 2012 Louisiana Democrats easily coalesced around incumbent President Barack Obama, while Republicans chose between former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (the eventual nominee), and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Nearly half of Louisiana Republicans backed Santorum, who had the evangelical vote sewn up.

This year, things are a lot less certain, thanks to bombastic GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, whose no-holds-barred campaign has confounded pundits and left his opponents flummoxed — and jockeying for position. Both Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz would love to corner that evangelical vote this time around, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich hopes to gain visibility by staying on the high ground and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson struggles to remain relevant.

Cruz is as nakedly ambitious a presidential candidate as we’ve seen since North Carolina’s former Sen.

John Edwards sought the Democratic nomination. Rubio may indeed be, as he claimed early on, “the future of the Republican party,” but it’s not clear yet if his future is now. Despite Trump’s lack of traditional evangelical bona fides, he’s shown surprising strength among self-identified Christian voters. That could help him in Louisiana.

On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hoped to have the nomination locked up by now, but Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has electrified the party’s progressive wing, vexing insiders and forcing Clinton to shore up her left flank at a time she’d rather run toward the center.

A Feb. 17 survey by Public Policy Polling showed Clinton with a 31-point lead over Sanders in Louisiana (due largely to her support among African-Americans).

Still, Clinton is taking no chances — hence her high-profile endorsements from U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo, former Sen. Mary Landrieu and Mayor Mitch Landrieu (who referred to Sanders’ “tooth fairy ideas” when endorsing Clinton).

Sanders leads among young voters, who historically vote in smaller numbers — but he inspires staunchly liberal Democrats.

This Tuesday — March 1 — is “Super Tuesday,” when 12 states will vote or caucus. By the March 15 primaries, we may have a better idea of who the nominees will be.

If Trump still leads the GOP field, it will be interesting to see if some Republicans begin to talk openly about a brokered convention.

No matter what happens, this year’s presidential nomination process has been historic. That’s why it’s more important than ever that Louisianans who are registered Democrat or Republican show up in force this Saturday.

I-10 News on the move Jon Batiste and Stay Human — bandleader and house band for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert — return to New Orleans for the band’s first club performance in the city since the late-night gig began in September 2015. Stay Human will headline the Civic Theatre during the second week of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival at 10 p.m. Saturday, April 30.

Tickets are $25. (The band also performs earlier that day at Jazz Fest.)

Batiste, a Kenner native and graduate of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, has shown comic chops on The Late Show, teaching Colbert how to “hang” on Frenchmen Street and how to play jazz.

P H OTO C R E D I T: P E T E R LU E D E R S

2. Tell us how you really feel

“Bobby Jindal was a better cult leader than Jim Jones.

We drank the elixir for eight years. We remained in a conscious state — we walked to the edge of the cliff, and he watched. And guess what?

Unlike Jim Jones, he did not swallow the poison. What a shame.” — Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand, during the Metropolitan Crime Commission’s annual awards luncheon last week.

Normand was just getting warmed up: “The fact of the matter is that he’s now out there on Twitter and on public spaces trying to rewrite history — and we hadn’t even figured out what history is.

We know we face a $2 billion to $2.2 billion budget shortfall next year, somewhere between $700 million and $900 million between now and June 30. And he’s trying to get everybody to believe that he did a phenomenal job.”

Normand added, “We did this to ourselves, myself included, because I endorsed that idiot.”

3. Primary day March 5 The Louisiana presidential preference primary is March 5, but if recent numbers are any guide, voters won’t be overrunning the polls.

“Historically the presidential preference primary turnout is between 10 and 15 percent,” Meg Casper, press secretary for Secretary of State Tom Schedler, told Gambit, “except in [President Barack] Obama’s first election in 2008, when it was close to 25 percent and again in 2012 when it was close to 20 percent.”

4.

Focusing on youths and poverty The New Orleans City Council’s first-ever meeting of its Youth Services and Empowerment Committee spotlighted New Orleans’ child poverty crisis, from the burdens on working-poor families to the ways economic stress disrupts brain development and enforces neighborhood violence. One in three New Orleans children lives in poverty — the committee aims

to identify and discuss what makes a child “poor,” what the city is doing to help and where the gaps are.

Last year, The Data Center released its child poverty report and youth index, finding that as of 2014, more than 78,000 children live in poverty in New Orleans, 22 percentage points above the national average.

New Orleans children also “are having a rough beginning” right at birth, said Data Center senior research fellow Vicki Mack.

In 2013, 12.5 percent of children were born with low birth weight — compared to 10 percent statewide and 8 percent nationwide. The city’s infant mortality rate is 9.3 per 1,000 live births, compared to 8.7 statewide and 6 nationwide.

5.

Leon Cannizzaro in a debate over the DA’s transfer of juvenile offenders to Criminal District Court. Guidry wants to create a screening process to determine whether certain juvenile offenders should be tried in “adult” courts. In a letter to Guidry, Cannizzaro warned that changes to his office’s criminal justice strategy “without any regard to the effect such a reduction would have on public safety” could have “dangerous” results.

More than a dozen local, state and national criminal justice officials and advocates discussed youth transfers at the Council’s Feb. 24 Criminal Justice Committee. According to a report from the Southern Poverty Law Center, the DA transfers more than 80 percent of its cases involving 15- and 16-year-olds to Criminal Court, where young offenders are tried as adults. Guidry’s push has the support of Orleans Juvenile Court Judge Candice Bates-Anderson, Orleans Public Defender head Derwyn Bunton, Criminal District Judge Laurie White, some members of the City Council and others.

6. Duke: Vote for Trump Former state representative and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke stopped short of endorsing Donald Trump for president, but he told his Internet radio audience last week that “voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.”

On his website, Duke warns, “Jewish NeoCommies (progressives) and Jewish NeoConservatives (NeoTrotskyites) have united tribally to unleash a flood of excrement upon Donald Trump, whom they see as a real threat to their Jewish Establishment agenda.”

“David Duke endorsed me?”

Trump said, when reporters asked him about it. “OK, all right. I disavow, OK?”

Guidry challenges Cannizzaro’s criminal justice strategy

7. The coach stays

New Orleans District A City Councilwoman Susan Guidry’s push to see fewer teenagers enter the adult criminal justice system pits her against District Attorney

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton told NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk he is close to finalizing a deal to stay with the team for four or five years. Payton, who has

led the Black and Gold for 10 years and is its 10th full-time coach, is among the league’s most highly paid coaches, at a rumored $8 million per year.

8. Moody’s darkens fiscal mood

As if Louisiana didn’t already have enough fiscal woes, what with former Gov. Bobby Jindal leaving the state nearly $3 billion in the hole — last week Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the state’s bond rating. For good measure, Moody’s added a “negative outlook” to its assessment of Louisiana, signaling another potential downgrade. The downgrade came as state House members reached a compromise with Gov. John Bel Edwards and passed a watered-down version of the governor’s proposed, temporary one-cent sales tax hike.

9.

Verret inaugurated at Xavier University Xavier University formally inaugurated C. Reynold Verret last week as the sixth president of the university, succeeding Dr. Norman Francis, who stepped down last year after 47 years. Verret, a native of Haiti, has been in the position seven months.

10. Going Greenway Friends of the Lafitte Greenway — stewards and advocates of the 3-mile trail cutting through Bayou St. John and into the French Quarter — hosts its 10th annual hike this week, its first since the pathway’s completion.

Hikers meet at 10 a.m. March 5 at Congo Square in Armstrong Park, and the 3-mile guided hike (which includes mid-hike entertainment from Capoeira New Orleans, Crescent Lotus Belly Dancers, Hey Now Hooping and Zulu Tramps) ends at Second Line Brewing (433 N. Bernadotte St.), with environmental demonstrations and food trucks. A free shuttle takes hikers back to Armstrong Park.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, I heard some people talking about the “Old Desire neighborhood.” Where is that?

JOYCE SILVERMAN

Dear Joyce, Desire, a part of the Upper 9th Ward, still exists on every list of New Orleans neighborhoods, but it has undergone changes over the past half-century. Its general boundaries, according to the City Planning Commission, are Gentilly Boulevard to the north, Florida Avenue to the south, the Industrial Canal to the east and Peoples Avenue to the west.

A former cypress swamp, the area developed into a center for transportation, including railroad lines and the Industrial Canal, which was opened in 1923. After World War II, many African-American families purchased small lots in the area to build houses. The neighborhood also is important in music history as home to several former nightclubs, including the Hideaway Club, where producer Dave Bartholomew and Imperial Records owner Lew Chudd discovered Fats Domino in 1949.

That club was located within the 98 acres that were cleared in 1949 to make way for the Desire Housing Project. When it opened in 1956, the 1,860-unit housing development for low-income African-Americans was one of the largest public housing sites in the country. By the

The Desire Housing Project was replaced with The Estates, a mixedincome residential development.

P H OTO B Y K A N DAC E P O W E R G R AV E S

1960s, the Desire project housed more than 13,000 residents and had the greatest population density in New Orleans. In addition, many of the buildings (built on a sinking former landfill) were poorly constructed, causing living conditions to deteriorate over time. Hurricane Betsy flooded the area in 1965. In 1970, the development was the scene of an infamous standoff and shootout between New Orleans Police and an offshoot of the Black Panthers.

The area continued to decline in the 1980s and became notorious for murders and crime. The housing project was demolished in stages, beginning in 1996. In the early 2000s, just before Hurricane Katrina, a new mixed-income neighborhood was developed on the site. Built at a cost of $80 million, it is now called The Estates.

Two schools were built within the Desire development: Robert R. Moton and Henderson H. Dunn.

George Washington Carver High School also is well-known in the Desire area, having turned out NFL great Marshall Faulk.

BLAKEVIEW LOCATED WITHIN THE DESIRE NEIGHBORHOOD for many years was the headquarters and baking plant for McKenzie’s Pastry Shoppes, better known simply as McKenzie’s. The plant at 3847 Desire Parkway turned out the king cakes, buttermilk drops, turtles, pies and cakes that were sold in retail locations across the city. The first store opened in 1924 at 4926 Prytania St. (now the Creole Creamery). Owner Henry McKenzie sold the store to Daniel Entringer in 1936.

Dr. Kevin Darr is a national leader in orthopedic medicine and is currently studying alternative treatments for orthopedic conditions. He is proud to bring Louisiana access to alternative treatment options through a new study using fat tissue to treat orthopedic soft tissue injuries and osteoarthritis. In this study, fat from the patient is micro-fragmented and injected into the affected area. We are evaluating Lipogems®, made with an FDA cleared device, for their ability to repair or replace cartilage (or other tissue) and potentially, the regenerative effects of the fat and the growth factors it contains, to decrease inflammation. gr

THE LEGISLATIVE LOGJAM OVER TAXES-VERSUS-CUTS FINALLY BROKE LAST WEEK, in favor of both.

No surprise there. The solution to Louisiana’s multi-billion-dollar structural deficit — the legacy of former Gov. Bobby Jindal — always was going to involve compromise.

Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards and House GOP leaders each conceded just enough to push a temporary one-penny sales tax increase through the Republican-dominated Lower Chamber. The House also passed a slate of GOP-sponsored spending cuts. Those cuts trimmed the current budget much more than the governor wanted, but that’s the nature of compromise.

Meanwhile, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Louisiana’s bond rating on the same day that the House passed the sales tax.

That was awful news, but it underscored Edwards’ and university presidents’ pleas for more revenue.

Edwards said from the get-go that the penny sales tax hike — on top of Louisiana’s existing four-cent sales tax — would be a temporary measure. He initially was said to favor a five-year term, then three years. Last week, he agreed to 18 months. The spending cuts and sales tax now go to the Senate, where Edwards holds greater sway.

Both bills (and any others the House may pass) may undergo some revision in the Senate, but the tenuous nature of the House compromise weighs against substantial revision.

The sales tax is the centerpiece of Edwards’ budget fix, but even with the House-passed cuts, the state would still be at least $200 million short of covering the $943 million budget gap for the current fiscal year — not to mention the $2 billion-plus gap for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.

The House declined to take up several other revenue bills at the end of last week, and its fractured membership makes the governor’s task of getting the required twothirds majority (70 votes) for any tax hike a daunting one. The special session must end by March 9, so there’s no time for gridlock.

If gridlock should set in, the whole package of cuts and taxes could end up being rewritten at the eleventh hour by a six-member conference committee. Important bills often wind up in conference, where conferees (three from each

chamber) literally can rewrite a bill entirely. When a bill emerges from conference, it goes directly to both chambers for a straight up-or-down vote. No amendments. All or nothing. A final showdown.

As the clock ticks down to the final hours, all eyes will be on Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, the dean of the Legislature. Alario knows this process better than anyone. He is the master of the conference committee and a deft hand at forging compromise.

As the House anguishes over every detail of every tax measure and every spending bill, Alario sits patiently in the Senate, knowing he may be called upon to sort things out. I can almost hear him whispering to his House counterparts, “Come to Papa.”

It’s a comforting scenario to legislative veterans, but time is short — and raising $943 million in three months is a tall order.

Coming Attraction A four-screen movie house in Mid-City will give New Orleans a new neighborhood theater — and, the owner hopes, lovers. a new center for film lovers

BY KEN KORMAN PHOTOS BY CHERYL GERBER

BRIAN KNIGHTEN STANDS AT THE CENTER OF THE BAR AND LOUNGE AREA IN THE LOBBY OF HIS SOON-TOOPEN BROAD THEATER, a four-screen movie palace

in the heart of Mid-City. It’s mid-February, and The Broad is about a week away from the planned date for its long-delayed opening. Surrounding Knighten are ladders, power tools, planks of unfinished wood and a layer of sawdust covering the room that looks like you could measure it with a yardstick.

Workers have just tried to move a stone slab intended for the top of the theater’s wraparound bar, only to see it split in two. “It wasn’t the one I ordered, anyway,” Knighten says with the laugh of a man about to see a long-deferred dream spring to life.

That sense of humor has served Knighten well during the nearly two-year effort to build The Broad. A few days after the slab-splitting incident, permit-related issues forced another delay of the theater’s planned opening — scheduled for March 4 as Gambit went to press. But the result, Knighten hopes, will be a modern take on the old-fashioned, independent and communityfocused movie theater.

The Broad’s 12,000-square-foot space will feature four theaters with 65 to 125 seats each, all with the latest technologies for picture and sound and stadium seating for optimal sight lines. Eight beers and four wines on tap will be available in the lobby, and a food menu beyond popcorn and candy will be added in the weeks ahead. Tickets at the Broad will cost $10, which is 12 percent to 20 percent less than regular prices at other large, first-run theaters in the area — and a bargain compared to 3-D and IMAX screenings offered elsewhere.

“

— Brian Knighten, owner of the Broad Theater

General manager Brian Jones (left) and Broad Theater owner Brian Knighten oversee renovations at the soon-to-open film complex in Mid-City.

Knighten and general manager Brian Jones plan to tie all this together with an emphasis on presenting independent, foreign and regionally made films, which until now have found a local audience that’s engaged and passionate but limited in size.

The Broad aims to expand that market, enhance appreciation for art-house cinema in New Orleans and establish a new, centrally located hub for film culture.

“Movie theaters in general don’t make a lot of money,” Knighten says. “But I believe in the power of film to build community and start conversations. Ultimately, it’s about building this place for the city of New Orleans.”

KNIGHTEN’S ROAD TO ESTABLISHING THE BROAD THEATER began in 1999 when he

was 23 years old. While having dinner at Katie’s Restaurant & Bar, he overheard a couple at the next table talking about how Mid-City’s Movie Pitchers theater was about to close. “It had been just surviving, not bringing in a lot of income,” Knighten recalls.

“But it was very well-loved by everyone, including myself.”

The next day, Knighten went to see the owner of Movie Pitchers, who said he was losing his lease because the property was being sold to a grocery chain. But he offered to let Knighten take over Movie Pitchers if he found a way to keep it open.

Knighten fought the sale of the property in civil court but lost, and the building was torn down. “I ended up getting chairs, pro-

jectors — a lot of old, bad equipment, and I stored it for 10 years,” Knighten says.

Knighten was born in Baton Rouge and moved to the West Bank with his family at age 12. He studied at the University of New Orleans and worked in Tulane University’s Latin American Studies department writing curriculum for teacher training and managing a film library. He left Tulane to start his own distribution company for Latin American films and later established a renovation and construction business. But he maintained his interest in building an independent movie theater in New Orleans.

Knighten looked for an ideal theater space “hardcore for about five years, then sporadically for 10 more years,” he says. He moved to Baltimore after Hurricane Katrina but returned to New Orleans a year later with a neighborhood theater still on his mind. “It’s very hard to find a large space in New Orleans with parking and everything else you need for a movie theater at an affordable price,” he says. “Everything kind of came together when I found this place.”

The brick and stucco building at 636 N. Broad St. is one of very few examples of Spanish Mission style architecture in New Orleans. It was built in 1923 and sold the following year to plumbing, heating and ventilation contractors Sciambra & Masino, whose name is still on the building. It has served as home to a charity bingo hall, a boat shop, a plumbing supply company and the House of Champions boxing gym, among other businesses. It was in poor condition when

Knighten took over.

“Abandoned, vacant, blighted,” he says.

“It wasn’t falling apart but there was a lot of termite damage to deal with. And there had been some bad construction decisions, more aesthetic than architectural. But there was really nothing in here. None of these [interior] walls was here.”

Knighten says it has been a long, slow building process. He handled the renovation himself and announced a spring 2015 opening. “It was a big, expensive project and I was over-optimistic,” Knighten says. But the main reason for the delays was his evolving vision for the space.

The original plan was to open The Broad with two screens and add two more later, “but the momentum and the need were there to build out screens three and four

— and to make number four a 125-person, festival-size screening room,” Knighten says, even though that part of the building was “basically a dirt floor” when he acquired it. “I decided I wanted to say, ‘This is what we are’ from the start,” he says, “instead of growing it little by little.”

THERE WAS ANOTHER REASON TO LIVE WITH THE DELAYS and

open with four screens: to make an impression on film distributors, who ultimately choose where to show their films. “If I had just two screens and turned great numbers, then one of the national chains might have said, ‘Wow, we should build a theater over there too,’” Knighten says. “They still might, but at least we’ll have a foot down in the neighborhood and something to back it up with.”

Knighten found another essential piece of The Broad Theater puzzle when he hired general manager Brian Jones in November 2015.

Jones has a long history as a manager for New Orleans movie houses, including the Prytania Theater, the Uptown Square Cinema (which closed in 1998) and The Theatres at Canal Place. He shares Knighten’s love for art-house cinema and his belief in film’s potential as a positive force in the community.

“The first question Brian asked me was, ‘Why would you leave a steady job for this?’” says Jones, who had been working as general manager of The Grand Theatres in Slidell. “Part of it was I wanted to get back to the city, but these are the movies I want to show. This is where I came from.”

As Knighten tells it, Jones

couldn’t hide his enthusiasm for The Broad. “He quit his other job without really confirming that he had the job here,” Knighten says. “He just said, ‘I’ll be there tomorrow!’ It’s been great. I tend to think out in the clouds about what we can do. He has the ability to bring it back down and be a little more realistic.”

The first thing Knighten and Jones want to do is engage local audiences with an appealing mix of movies. Newly released independent, foreign and regional films will be balanced by the best of Hollywood’s latest along with cult classics and arthouse favorites. Programming “is very fluid right now,” Jones says. “We’re going to try a bunch of different things and see what works. But we’ll always have at least one foreign film on screen.”

It’s hard to imagine a better test for the tastes of local filmgoers than The Broad’s scheduled opening slate of films. Included will be new Hollywood “war comedy” Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, which stars Tina Fey and is based on journalist Kim Barker’s memoir The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan; Mustang and A War, two of this year’s nominees for the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award; and a double feature of cult favorites Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest, which are a nod to the resurgence of Star Wars as a cultural juggernaut.

Two things the Broad will not be offering are 3-D — “I hate 3-D,” Knighten says — and commercials before feature presentations. “I never considered it,” he says.

The Broad also is interested in other types of programming.

THE BROAD THEATER IS NOT THE ONLY LOCAL FILM HOUSE present-

ing arthouse cinema and building community connections. Indywood Theater plans to reopen in late March or early April with a new 5,000-square-foot, two-screen facility in Bywater and a strong vision for supporting local culture and presenting imaginative fare.

Central City’s Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center has offered its own take on indie film for the last three decades, including at Movie Pitchers. The Prytania Theatre and Chalmette Movies regularly exhibit foreign and independent films, and the 27-year-old New Orleans Film Society and upstart Shotgun Cinema present screenings and festivals.

Knighten believes The Broad’s location at the center of the burgeoning Broad Street commercial corridor represents a unique opportunity to bring film culture to the widest audience yet. “I feel like Mid-City is truly representative of all types of people in New Orleans,” he says. “There may be other spaces in the city as open and welcoming as we’d like to be, but we have the unique potential to represent the entire city.

“Hopefully we’ll appeal to everyone.”

Theater Two was designed with a small stage in front of the screen and a bar at the back of the room.

The setup lends itself to talks, panel discussions and live performances of scores for silent movies. Knighten hopes The Broad will serve as a home to outside film festivals and “would love to get a regular comedy troupe in here like Movie Pitchers had.”

Knighten envisions connecting with local filmmakers through screenings of work-in-progress films and student projects along with something he’s calling a Nonprofit Spotlight. “We might have one or two nights a month where we partner with local nonprofits and give back a percentage,” Knighten says. He also has an idea to help develop and present short film pieces about local nonprofits before regular screenings.

depicting shotgun houses, it’s clear that Bywater Clothing (4432 Magazine St., 504-5026206; www.bywaterclothing. com) is an homage to New Orleans. What’s less obvious is why the Magazine Street boutique is named for a downtown neighborhood.

Founder JoAnne Casey says she named the shop for the neighborhood where she grew up. After 30 years away from New Orleans, Casey felt compelled to return in 2008.

“I needed to come back home,” Casey says. “I decided when I was putting [the store] together to try to put as much New Orleans stuff in it as I could. Most of the stuff in here is locally designed, locally made or handmade.”

Casey founded NOLAGirl when she returned to the city. It was a departure from her 27-year career in insurance claims, so Casey started small: by selling her bamboo T-shirts at local festivals and expos.

“I have a good friend who’s a runner, and she suggested I try the racing expos,” Casey says. “I didn’t think it was my thing, but I decided after a couple years of her bugging me that I should try it, and it has turned out really well.”

Last year, Casey saw an opportunity for a storefront location and opened Bywater Clothing in June 2015. Casey sells her NOLAGirl brand and bamboo clothing, as well as work by more than 20 local

Bywater Clothing uses a portion of its proceeds to donate dog food to Animal Rescue New Orleans.

“We typically donate 300 pounds of dog food every four to six weeks,” Casey says. “We try to help out as much as we can, because my rescue dog came from there.”

Casey enjoys getting to know the artists and storeowners on Magazine Street and participating in community events by hosting book signings and live music

during Art for Art’s Sake. Although her entry into the world of athletic wear was unexpected, Casey says the local running community inspired her to compete.

“I was looking at my goals from a couple years ago, and one of them was to do a 5K,” Casey says.

“Now, I’ve done a 10K, a half-marathon, and then when I was 59, I did my first triathlon.”

Though Casey came in last place at the triathlon, the shirt she wore (and designed) sums up her attitude: “It said, ‘Dead last is greater than not starting.’”

Blackness and food matters

CHEF TUNDE WEY IS LAUNCHING A DINNER SERIES titled “Blackness in

on St. Claude Avenue, the cheeses of Wisconsin prove they can hold their own. Aged yellow and white cheddars are melted over potato tots; pepper Jack is liquefied and drizzled onto sandwiches; curds are fried until crispy and soft inside; and just about everything is sprinkled with some type of cheese.

Owners Michael Ducote and Doug Minich opened their Cajun-themed meat market and sit-down eatery in Bywater late last year, blending the influences of Acadiana (Ducote hails from Lafayette) and the cheeses of Wisconsin, to which both men have close ties. It’s the latest in a series of butcher shop and restaurant hybrids, and all the Cajun trademarks are here, including a rotating mix of spicy boudin links, cracklings, smoked ham hocks and plastic containers brimming with pimiento cheese.

Despite the takeout appeal of what’s in the display cases, the spot feels like a welcoming neighborhood restaurant. Dining is a casual affair.

Butcher paper covers the tabletops, and meals are accompanied by the faint hum of refrigerators, casual banter at the bar counter and the soft background sounds of old-time country, Americana and honky-tonk.

As the name implies, cheese is featured prominently, and the owners take obvious pride in their Wisconsin connections, displaying blocks of sharp and aged cheddars, creamy blue cheeses and other varieties imported from the Badger State.

The fried cheese curds are excellent and could be in the running for

New Orleans’ best new bar snack.

Yellow cheddar curds have a fried feather-light crust, and the crispy spheres arrive in a pyramid paired with ranch dip. With one bite, the lighter-than-air shell dissolves, giving way to a pillowy mass of melted cheese.

A strong Cajun theme anchors the simple menu of sandwiches and Southern-accented entrees. A pile of hot pink pickled onions and a dollop of whole grain mustard accompany very spicy, earthy boudin links.

The fried chicken sandwich arrives slathered in pimiento cheese in a dense, slightly sweet biscuit. The sandwich is served open-faced, topped with thick-cut, horseradish-spiked bread-and-butter pickles that add brininess to the rich dish.

At brunch, the deluxe bloody mary is the Cadillac of breakfast cocktails.

Served alongside a pony of Miller High Life, the spicy drink is topped with pickled accoutrements — green beans, okra, olives, green onions — and a buttery and salty boudin ball.

The Nigerian-born chef, who until recently operated the Lagos stall at St. Roch Market, is hosting a string of collaborative dinners exploring black identity in America.

“The objective of the dinner is to create a space where folks can talk about blackness and black identity,” Wey says. “The idea is to host a dinner that is a collaboration between myself and a guest, whose life and work represent a unique perspective on blackness.”

The series will be held on Mondays in March at Shank Charcuterie (2352 St. Claude Ave., 504-218-5281; www.shankcharcuterie.com).

The five-course Nigerian meal ($45) features fried plantains, pepper soup, roasted cassava balls and grilled whole snapper. Wey says the menu may change slightly from event to event.

Guest speakers include filmmaker Zac Manuel (Mar. 7); Rashida Govan (Mar. 14), executive director of Project Butterfly; CAC Director Neil Barclay (Mar. 21); and local food activist Jenga Mwendo (Mar. 28). Each collaborator contributes a theme for informal discussion during and after the meal.

There also will be an event in Detroit on April 6.

Wey says he plans to open a freestanding local restaurant focusing on Nigerian cuisine.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Jana Billiot CHEF JANA BILLIOT, WHO RECENTLY WAS PROMOTED to chef de cuisine

at Restaurant R’evolution, knows a thing or two about Louisiana food.

Born and raised in rural Louisiana, Billiot grew up hunting and fishing and cooked the fruits of her labor.

After attending culinary school at the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute, Billiot went to work at chef Rick Tramonto’s fine-dining restaurant Tru in Chicago, before joining him and chef John Folse at Restaurant R’evolution in 2010. Billiot spoke with Gambit about how her childhood helped shape her outlook on food and fine dining.

How did your upbringing in Louisiana shape your outlook on food?

BILLIOT: I’m from a tiny town called Johnson Bayou in Cameron Parish. I literally graduated with nine people at my public high school, and that included students from two different towns. I was very, very sheltered — from the mud, essentially. From the time I was 13, I started working at a seafood market. I’d have to be there at 5 a.m. every day … and that was really how I grew up — hunting, fishing and living off the land. We grew up with chickens, goats, horses, cows and pigs. Every year to this day we still have an annual boucherie. True Southern Creole and Cajun traditions revolve around cooking like that — big gumbos, big crawfish boils, big crab boils. To this day I still love to go hunting and fishing with my dad. I grew up cooking, but I didn’t really know that it was what I wanted to do until I went to college.

How does your background translate to your career in fine dining?

B: When I was introduced to (chef) Tramonto and read about his restaurant — and then when I started working there later — I was overwhelmed with the intricate and fine details involved with (his) cooking. It’s like a whole other level of fine dining. I feel like I really honed my skills there. I learned to have that eye for detail and understand and respect it, and [I] learned how important it is

to notice (detail) and to be able to bring that out in food.

Coming to (Restaurant) R’evolution, at first, I wanted to use tweezers on everything, and I was doing all this crazy stuff. I wanted to pull from something that I knew and what I had been experiencing for the last four years. I struggled for a while in the beginning with the menu. I was always trying to make it just a little too intricate; it was a little too out of place and just not traditional enough. Then, I had this revelation when I realized, “This is just traditional, Southern Creole and Cajun food. I already know this.” I just had to figure out a way to marry the two so that it worked and it was still successful.

Do you think multicourse, extreme fine dining has a home in New Orleans?

B: I don’t see there being that large of a demographic here for that kind of restaurant, especially the price point. To be honest, for me, it goes against what I think dining in New Orleans is. Why does there need to be a place in New Orleans for dining like that when it exists all over the country?

New Orleans is so unique all on its own. If the niche doesn’t exist, I don’t feel that we necessarily need to create it. Tasting menus are out there; they’re everywhere. But they’re reasonable (here); it’s not as overwhelming. You don’t have to have a 12-course tasting menu.

You can still have a tasting menu and at the end of it, the guests can still walk away thoroughly impressed and pleased and happy.

SOUR, FUNKY AND WILD BEERS ARE INCREASINGLY POPULAR IN NEW ORLEANS, and an upcoming New

Belgium Brewing Company event offers a look at the techniques used to make these types of beers.

Batches of the same barrel-aged beer can have different flavors due to differences in the barrels. To create a consistent product, brewers blend the sour brews from different barrels until a final beer is perfected. New Belgium blending masters Lauren Salazar and Eric Salazar share their experience at a symposium March 10 at Warehouse Grille (869 Magazine St., 504-322-2188; www. warehousegrille.com). Attendees can taste various single-barrel, unblended batches of the base beer, New Belgium’s Love Oscar, and create their own blends to sample.

The symposium is 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and is limited to 50 people.

The two also participate in a more casual event on March 9 at the Snooty Cooter at Cooter Brown’s Tavern (509 S. Carrollton Ave., 504-866-9104; www.cooterbrowns.com). They will be joined by brewers from NOLA Brewing

OF WINE THE WEEK

New Belgium Brewing Company has released an array of sour beers.

P H OTO B Y N O R A M C G U N N I G L E

Company and Great Raft Brewing, with each offering samples of rare sour beers on draft. The New Belgium beers will be Love Felix and Oscar Kissed Cherry, a rare blend of Love Oscar and Transatlantique Kriek. Great Raft offers Mixed Feelings and the New Orleans debut of Oceans Between Us, an IPA brewed with Brettanomyces yeasts. NOLA Brewing provides two small-batch sour beers, Against the Currant and Out Tequil-Ya.

2013 Borgogno Dolcetto d’Alba Piedmont, Italy Retail $20-$23

The Borgogno family began producing wines on their Piedmont estate in 1761. The estate was acquired by the Farinetti family eight years ago and continues to produce complex wines expressing the region’s terroir as they’ve updated the winery with modern equipment and viticultural practices.

The region is known for the Nebbiolo varietals barolo and barbaresco, but dolcetto- and barbera-based wines are generally very good and more approachable sooner. For this wine, grapes were harvested from 40- to 50-year-old vines planted in sandy, calcareous, gravelly soils at more than 1,300 feet above sea level. The wine underwent natural fermentation and skin contact for more than a week in cool, temperature-controlled tanks. After bottling, it matured in the cellar for more than a year before release. In the glass, its bouquet features dark berries, savory aromas and hints of licorice and spice. On the palate, taste blackberry, black cherry, cranberry, herbal notes, firm tannins and a hint of bitter almonds on the dry finish. Decant 30 minutes before serving. Drink it with antipasti, pizza, lasagna, cannelloni and meaty dishes with Italian sauces. Buy it at: Pearl Wine Company and The Wine Seller. Drink it at: Emeril’s New Orleans, Coquette and Compere Lapin.

PATRICK STICKLES MUST SEE in Craig Finn a future version of himself — the one who survives. Stickles turned 30 on July 28 last year, the same day his New Jersey band Titus Andronicus released its fourth album, a 29-song, 93-minute, Shakespeareburning rock opera titled The Most Lamentable Tragedy (Merge). Finn was 29 when he disbanded Lifter Puller, moved from Minnesota to New York City and took a two-year break from making music before forming The Hold Steady, whose micro-detailed lyric sheets read like both a running color commentary and a preordained prophecy of Stickles’ in-the-shit existentialism. Finn titled his second solo LP Faith in the Future (Partisan), as if he’s trying to rewrite the dead ending of “No Future”/“The Days After No Future,” the rotting core of Titus’ 2008 debut The Airing of Grievances. (Cue Camus: “It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.”) Finn first showed up as a sort of guardian angel on Titus’ second album, Civil War vessel The Monitor, quoting Whitman’s “Vigil Strange I Kept on the Field One Night” as if tucking Stickles in before the big sleep.

Now they’re touring together — the narrator introducing the antagonist — in a discursive twin bill that deposits all that anxiety in a rudedug grave: “No Faith, No Future, No Problem.”

REVIEW

CINEMATIC REALISM CAN BE A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD in movies about war. Too often, films that mount an accurate depiction of the horrors of armed conflict shortchange audiences with superficial portraits of dam• Opens March 4 aged psyches and shattered lives. With A War, • Showtimes TBA the fictional story of a commander in the Danish army navigating the perils of modern war in • The Broad Theater, 636 N. Afghanistan, writer-director Tobias Lindholm Broad St., (504) 266-2366; aims for another kind of realism — one with three-dimensional characters and a focus on www.thebroadtheater.com the moral and ethical complexities faced by soldiers on the battlefield and beyond.

One of several films nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar currently hitting local screens, the gritty A War takes cues from the first wave of American movies to address the Vietnam War in the late 1970s and early ’80s, such as The Deer Hunter and Coming Home. The conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq represent the first modern wars in which Denmark has taken part, and Lindholm clearly seeks to jump-start a public process of assessing the meaning and value of that country’s participation in the U.S.-led effort.

The Danish perspective is a fresh one for a film of this type. A War switches back and forth between Company Commander Claus M. Pedersen (Pilou Asbaek) leading his men on treacherous patrols in Afghanistan and Pedersen’s wife Maria (Tuva Novotny) and their three children, who struggle at home in his absence. A split-second decision made on the battlefield leads to major shifts in tone and focus for the film, and it becomes a tense courtroom drama in its final third. The empty heroism and moral certainty of many American war movies are nowhere to be found.

With its shaky handheld camera work and intermittently abrupt cuts, A War pushes Lindholm’s near-documentary visual style harder than it should. But natural performances save the day, not only as regards the film’s lead roles but also in its large ensemble of soldiers — almost all of whom are played by non-actor veterans of the Danish military and the Afghanistan war. Lindholm kept details of the battle sequences secret from the supporting cast, asking them only to react to events just as they were trained to do. The technique is remarkably effective and helps keep the story honest.

The film addresses key issues surrounding Denmark’s (and other countries’) combat presence in Afghanistan in a surprisingly subtle way. In an important early scene, Pedersen tries to reassure his assembled troops after they’ve lost a soldier to an improvised explosive device (IED) while performing essentially meaningless patrols. Their presence in the area serves to maintain “momentum in winning the civilians over,” he tells them. It’s a page taken directly from real life, as is the roaring silence that meets this inadequate justification for risking soldiers’ lives on a daily basis.

The title of the film is generic, but Lindholm means to deflect attention from the specifics of the Afghanistan war and quietly suggest that all ideologically driven military campaigns may be suspect by their very nature. It’s the kind of discussion-worthy, postwar reassessment whose time finally may have come.

THE LINE BETWEEN NAIVE FOLK ART AND SOPHISTICATED EXPRESSIONISM IS SOMETIMES VERY THIN, and John Isiah Walton walks it like a tightrope in his Rodeo series at The Front.

Based on the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola’s annual inmate rodeo, his work conveys the irony of a place where risky spectacles like bull riding provide coveted rewards for good behavior.

Such ironies provide fodder for an artist whose loose brushwork is so unbridled it’s almost confrontational. It is unclear if that is intentional, but his best work exudes a psychological boldness that is attracting interest in the New York art world and beyond. Sometimes ultraloose brushwork makes me crazy, but he pulls it off in works like 515 (pictured), where a downed rider seems on the verge of being trampled by a bull — a scene that harks to humanity’s most ancient memories of dangerous encounters with the animal kingdom. Perhaps because Walton appears to have empathetic chemistry with his subjects, his work has an impact that makes him an emerging artist worth watching.

REVIEW

A RUMOR PERSISTS THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN might not have been 100 percent straight because he shared a bed with his friend Joshua Speed.

But as Menard, Illinois elementary school teacher Harmony Green finds out, you can’t suggest the former president is gay without drawing some pushback. Or in her case, without going to court in Abraham Lincoln’s Big, Gay Dance Party, presented by Rockfire Theatre at Mag’s 940.

Green (Lisa Luongo) gets in trouble when she writes her school’s Christmas pageant to include Lincoln’s “intimate friendship.” It’s not easy to understand why Green faces jail, but her case attracts outrage and media attention. The show depicts the trial from three perspectives: Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Anton (Kevin Murphy) and two Republican politicians, Tom (Ben Clement) and Regina (Monica R. Harris). An audience member picks the order in which the segments are presented, and actors play different characters throughout. At some point, each of the actors plays Lincoln, who is the show’s guiding conscience.

Director Matt Reed ably controls the show’s pace and tone. He knows when to increase the camp factor, as in choreographed numbers to ABBA songs, and when to pull back for quieter moments. The stage at Mags 940 is compact, and the actors and set designer Matt Collier use every inch of it in smart and efficient ways. Transitions, marked by pop songs, are seamless.

The title’s “Dance Party” may imply it’s a techno-fueled, frivolous satire, and there are many glittery, over-the-top moments, but there’s also surprising depth.

The narrative explores the politics of free speech and anti-LGBT legislation. Tom is a disgraced politician who sees the trial as his way to get back into public favor.

He is a bigot and his aggressive demeanor makes him easy to dislike. His campaign manager Lloyd (Stephen Stanley) is corrupt and creepy. Stanley skillfully embodies several characters, and he’s an entertaining chameleon. It’s especially satisfying to watch his Lloyd try to work a shady deal with an opposing campaign manager, the bawdy and self-assured Tina (Kate Kuen).

The show centers on the trial, but one of the most touching relationships is between Anton, who is gay, and the humble Jerry (Gavin Robinson). As Anton, Murphy presents himself as fabulous and edgy. He brings in a fiery Cuban photographer named Esmeralda (Harris), a hilarious diva, and they quickly determine Jerry is a closeted gay man. Robinson shows the complexity of being gay in a small town, and his conversations with the quick-tongued and jaded Anton offer unique views on self-acceptance.

Anton tries to convince Jerry to come out to his father, and Abraham Lincoln’s Big, Gay Dance Party takes an intense turn. The dynamic cast handles an emotional conclusion with humor and heart. — TYLER GILLESPIE
