N THE BROADWAY musical 9 to 5, three women kidnap their sexist, egotistical boss before taking charge of his company. The plot makes for a lot of laughs, but for Pittsburgh sophomore Bryce Chisom, who played one of the three women in Obama Academy’s adaptation of the musical this spring, it’s also a story of empowerment. “Seeing that three women did this all by themselves,” says Chisom, “seeing how they took action over such a powerful man was really inspiring.” Chisom is among the nine Pittsburgh Public Schools students nominated in this year’s Gene Kelly Awards, a regional

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 05.18/05.25.2016

competition (named for the famed Pittsburgh-born entertainer) that recognizes student musicals in the Pittsburgh area. Winners will be announced at an event at the Benedum Center on May 28.

Gene Kelly Awards give Pittsburgh students a shot at the big time {BY REBECCA NUTTALL} “It was really amazing [to be nominated],” says Chisom. “I actually didn’t believe it. I started bursting out in tears

when I found out. I was really excited.” The students nominated this year are part of a 26-year tradition. Some past awardees from the region, like actor Zachary Quinto (Star Trek), have gone on to successful careers on Broadway and in television and ﬁlm. “We deﬁnitely have a mission here, and it’s really about changing lives,” says Kiesha Lalama, director of the Gene Kelly Awards. “In the 26 years the Kellys have been going on, I continue to hear the stories over and over again about the positive impact it’s had on people’s lives.” That’s especially true for students in PPS, who have consistently been nominated

in their division year after year despite the less-than-stellar reputation urban school districts tend to have. The annual event gives PPS students a chance to shine, and more importantly, musical-theater supporters say, they’re learning skills they can’t ﬁnd in the classroom. “The hours and hours they put into these performances — it shows their dedication, their work ethic, their passion,” says Lalama. “I think musical theater brings a sense of community, a sense of respect and value for one another. It goes well beyond developing performance skills. It really helps kids with social development and life skills.” NEARLY 30 SCHOOLS face off in this year’s Kelly Awards. They’re broken into divisions based on the estimated budget for their musicals, so that schools in lowincome communities aren’t wiped out by more afﬂuent schools in the suburbs. “Some schools have very large budgets and other schools are working with pennies, scraping them together to make it work,” says Lalama. “We want to make it as fair as possible, making sure we are comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges.”

Mindy Rossi-Stabler, CAPA High School’s theater coordinator, says her students notice the difference in budget between their school and others. But instead of being jealous, she says they feel camaraderie with competing schools. “They see the difference, especially in budget, when the other kids come with monogrammed

That doesn’t mean we don’t put out a good product.” Despite its budget, CAPA is consistently nominated and awarded at the Kellys, thanks in no small part to its musical-theater program. But Rossi-Stabler says the importance of musical theater and the arts should extend beyond CAPA. “We’re lucky at CAPA because this is what we concentrate on, but the other schools still put on really good products,” says Rossi-Stabler. “Throughout the public schools, the more arts we can give these kids, I think the better off they all are. The most successful people have really had a basis in some kind of art during their educational career.” {PHOTO COURTESY OF KELLY MCKRELL} That’s something CAPA senior Paul The cast of Obama Academy’s 9 to 5 Watt-Morse, who is nominated for best actor, agrees with. Next year, he’s movgarment bags for their costumes,” says ing on to the Boston Conservatory, where Rossi-Stabler. “Public schools just don’t he’ll study musical theater. “[Musical theater has] taught me a lot have that kind of money. It’s good for them to be about hard work,” says Watt-Morse. “It exposed to that, but also teaches you how to work together. I think to understand that qual- a lot of sports are super-competitive, but ity and art doesn’t nec- in musical theater you’re working toessarily have to come gether to accomplish a goal. Every person from a big budget and is super-important to the process.” And for Watt-Morse, the Gene Kellys money.

CAPA. As a freshman, he says, he was in awe of a senior classmate who won a Kelly for his role in In the Heights. Now it could be his turn. “To think I’m almost where he was is a cool thought. It’s kind of surreal, but it’s great,” Watt-Morse says. “I think [the awards] serve as some extra motivation, and I think a lot of us reach for that because we won’t have that opportunity later in life. Whether we decide to do this for a living or not, we will rarely have the opportunity to see something tangible to recognize us for the work we’ve done. When you get it, it’s just an amazing feeling.” For sophomore Chisom, there’s no greater feeling than performing on the Benedum stage at the Gene Kelly awards. “I already feel like a really great pow-

er over me performing on the Obama [Academy] stage, but performing on the Benedum stage was like 10 times more exciting,” Chisom says. “Just seeing all those faces and all the lights, and just the adrenaline before coming on stage — it’s just such an amazing experience.” Students at Obama have had the opportunity to perform at the awards for the past two years because they were nominated for, and won, best musical. But unfortunately, despite nominations for best ensemble, best all-student orchestra, and two for actress, Obama didn’t receive that nomination this year. “It was a lesson we really had to sit down and talk about this year,” says Kelly McKrell, Obama’s director. “That was hard for me as their leader to tell them they didn’t get to perform this year.”

LANDMARKS PRESERVATION RESOURCE CENTER - A program of the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation Foundation

Join us at the Landmarks Preservation Resource Center for ongoing workshops in May as we continue programming on architecture, history, design, urban planning, and other topics related to how cities function and historic preservation as a tool of community development.

SATURDAY, MAY 21 • 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

WORKSHOP: SAWS AND SAWING REGIS WILL: Vesta Home Services Most projects begin with sawing larger boards down to pieces of your project. Explore the different types of handsaws and their uses. You will also learn techniques to saw squarely and accurately to the line. Not just that, you will also learn techniques on how to identify saw teeth and when to choose which saw and why.

SPRING CLEANING: A GUIDE TO GREEN CLEANING CHELSEA HOLMES: Director, Community Education Women for a Healthy Environment May is Allergy Awareness Month. Because of that, Women for a Healthy Environment (WHE) is leading a discussion on how to clean your homes avoiding toxins commonly found in household cleaning products. Unfortunately, in the United States today, cleaning product manufacturers are not required to disclose their ingredients on the product, which means that there are known allergens, asthmagens, carcinogens, and even hormone disruptors lurking in many of our everyday products. This workshop is designed to raise awareness around potential toxins found in our home environments and to provide community members with the information and resources needed to make informed consumer choices regarding these products.

But rather than feeling defeated, Obama’s students used the disappointment to inspire them. “We actually found out about the nominations and still had to do three shows, and I’ve never seen students perform so well in my career,” says McKrell. “I was so afraid it would affect them negatively, but I’ve never seen so much energy from high schoolers in my career. I was very proud of them.” In an effort to stave off the disappointment students can feel when competing in such a high-proﬁle competition, McKrell often tries to steer focus away from the Kelly Awards. “I was in the Kellys as a child,” says McKrell. “So I understand the feeling of being on that stage and having that opportunity, and I tell them it’ll be something that you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren, that you performed at the Benedum. So they do look at it like an honor, but I try not to make it the focus of the season, because I don’t want them to

see it as a competition.” Instead, she hopes students reﬂect on how performing in the musical has impacted their lives. “They open up to the audience on closing night, and they talk about how it changed their lives,” says McKrell. “They say things like, ‘I never thought I’d ﬁt in,’ ‘I never thought I’d have another family or a safe place to go where I can be myself.’ Those comments really resonate with me.” Having performed in only her second musical at Obama, Chisom says she’s learning to balance her schoolwork with the pressures of rehearsal. And in the end, she says, what she’s learned from participating is what matters most. “It motivates you to be on top of your schoolwork even more” says Chisom. “Another great thing about musicals is if you’re passionate about it, you can be the same or even better than anyone at any other school. It comes from your passion and how much you love to do it.”

On the move? New to town, or just a new neighborhood? If you haven’t tried transit before maybe now is the time. Port Authority has convenient and frequent service to and from the urban areas of Pittsburgh. East Liberty is the heart of the East End’s transit service. Many Port Authority bus routes use the East Busway to bypass local traffic including the P1 and P3 from East Liberty’s busway station which offer quick rides to Downtown and Oakland. Various other routes have stops on Penn Ave. and serve just about anywhere in the East End of the city. Living Downtown? You CAN get anywhere from here. You can catch a bus or T to almost anywhere in Allegheny County. Groceries in the Strip District, take the 88. For all the flavor of Lawrenceville the 91 works. Nearly all of Port Authority's 100 routes travel in and out of Downtown. For more neighborhoods go to onthemove.portauthority.org and make this town your own.

residents from its East Liberty Penn Plaza apartment complex last June, residents protested and the city intervened. The action highlighted the growing lack of affordable housing in the city. Subsequently, LG, which is owned by the Gumberg family, negotiated a deal with the city and Penn Plaza tenants. Language was included in the agreement that would recommend the sale of the adjacent 2.2-acre Enright Park to LG. It also suggested that LG be chosen to develop the nearby Mellon Orchard site, an agreement which would require at least 20 percent of the units there to be affordable. Critics of the deal questioned whether the c ity was giving up too much. As it turns out, however, the city isn’t giving up much of anything. Last month, Pittsburgh City Council voted to keep Enright Park as public land and last week the Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority awarded the Mellon Orchard site to TREK Development, even though LG entered a bid to develop the space. “The URA took a bold step,” says Bloomﬁeld-Garﬁeld Corp. executive director Rick Swartz. “The developer that everyone thought had the inside track did not have the inside track.” Kevin Acklin, Mayor Bill Peduto’s chief of staff and URA chair, says he was very pleased with the URA’s choice. “I think it was near-unanimous support for TREK.” TREK President Bill Gatti says its preliminary proposal will include 49 affordable units to residents at or below 60 percent of the area median income — in other words, about 47 percent of the proposed 104 units would be affordable. Additionally, Gatti says the remaining units will be priced at 10 percent to 15 percent below market rate. Monthly rents will range from $600 to $1,800, he says. Lillian Grate, of the Penn Plaza tenant council, sat on the URA committee that chose TREK. She says it was a “hard selection,” but TREK was exactly what they were looking for. She lauded the affordability measures, as well as TREK’s commitment to have a social worker on site and to include retail spaces that are

minority- and women-owned. “We are looking forward to collaborating with the community,” says Gatti. “We are very literate when it comes to affordable-housing funding, and we are intentional with the community; everyone gets a seat at the table.” Says Swartz: “TREK has always made a good-faith effort to work with the community. You can’t say the same for the Gumbergs. I think it is hard for them to realize in 2016 that things work a lot differently than in 1986 — they are still locked into that.” Jonathan Kamin, attorney for LG Realty Advisors, did not return calls seeking comment. Bill Bartlett, of advocacy group Action United, says the proposed rents at Mellon Orchard are supposed to reflect the range of rents at Penn Plaza, which residents said ranged from $470 to $850. Gatti, of TREK, says the subsidized rent levels for low-income residents will be worked out through a community process. TREK’s proposed number of affordable units exceeds the requirement in the Penn Plaza agreement. However, while 100-some households from Penn Plaza were given priority to move into Mellon Orchard, only 49 affordable units were earmarked. Bartlett still holds out hope for LG Realty’s future Penn Plaza development, however. “I am cautiously optimistic that they will replicate the rents at Penn Plaza and they will include rents for those at low- and extremely-low-income levels.” LG has said they plan to build a 400-unit mixed-use development. Because LG was not selected for Mellon Orchard, it is now not required to include any affordable units at the revamped Penn Plaza. LG is required to make “commercially reasonable efforts” to include affordable units at one of its Penn Plaza buildings, but only at levels set by city council, which has yet to ﬁnalize its affordablehousing recommendations. “We will have to cross that bridge when it comes,” says Acklin. “Clearly, the city remains committed to affordable housing in East Liberty, especially in areas such as Penn Plaza.”

“THE URA TOOK A BOLD STEP.”

As far as criminal pseudonyms go, Gingerbread Man doesn’t seem like it’d earn much respect on a cell block, or even among Spider-Man’s adversaries, yet that’s how Heath Emory Miller, wanted for a string of burglaries, described himself in social-media posts taunting police. Miller, 25, apparently spotted officers coming his way in a Springhill park and dashed into a wooded area. “They call me the gingerbread man,” he later wrote on Facebook, according to WPXI. “Catch me if u can. I’m running as fast as I can.” Police arrested his girlfriend on charges of sheltering him, but didn’t find the alleged nursery-rhyming thief at her residence then. “You gotta be quicker then [sic] that,” he posted soon after, adding “Lol. Gingerbread man.” The next day, police tracked Miller down to the attic of a North Side home, leaving his reputation in crumbs.

Bird cams have become easy ways for nature-lovers to watch the progress of wild birds as they nest. Viewership usually peaks when eggs are expected to hatch. Watchers of the National Aviary’s Pitt Peregrine Falcon Nest Cam — recording a nest on the Cathedral of Learning — were shocked when the mother falcon, Hope, killed her second hatchling and fed its remains to her first. “I have never seen this behavior before and don’t know why it occurred,” wrote WQED employee and bird expert Kate St. John, who runs the cam, on the Aviary’s website. Art McMorris, the state Game Commission’s peregrine coordinator, was also baffled. An ornithologist “Ask the Expert” session at the Aviary was abruptly canceled as the team apparently has no answers anymore, just dark, existential questions.

Well, at least they had good reasons: 73-year-old Loretta Jean Dennis-Jarrett of Pittsburgh allegedly stormed into her husband’s apartment and fired two shots at him, missing both times, but causing the man’s caretaker to take cover and his friend to awake from snoozing on the couch. After the 76-year-old husband wrestled away the pistol and police came, Dennis-Jarrett reportedly said she was mad he owed her money, was hiding her shoes and wouldn’t return her calls, reports TribLive.com. Meanwhile, New Sewickley Township police are looking for a driver who waved a gun at another motorist for driving too slow, reports the Beaver County Times. Lastly, David Allen Yingling, 61, of Indiana County, fatally shot his roommate because he “was tired of him calling [his] brother a retard,” police told TribLive.

Last year, Pennsylvania enacted a law to stop the piling up of untested rape kits. Police departments are now required to pick up kits within three days of notice from a hospital, transfer them to a lab within 15 days and inform the state

Health Department when they receive a kit. Physician General Rachel Levine says that only a third of departments have complied with that last part. She bluntly told the Associated Press she suspects they’re trying to avoid a penalty for not processing the kits in time and “that their municipality knows they didn’t send us a report.” Tom Gross, executive director of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, countered that “it’s mostly a question of awareness” and said that departments might not know about the new mandates — because, after all, why should a police department be expected to keep up with new laws?

A state court ruled that a Westmoreland County woman who walked out of her job after complaining about a coworker’s body odor did not have “necessitous and compelling” reasons to quit. Sherry Williamson was a production worker for Cook Inc., a

Vandergrift medical-supply company, reports PennLive.com, when the dispute over BO — and resultant HR hullabaloo — caused her to voluntarily leave. Judges ruled that the situation did not meet the threshold that would permit Williamson to collect unemployment compensation (though they never subpoenaed the coworker to come in to be sniffed).

Police are seeking a burglary suspect whose attempt to rob a motorist outside a Kwik Fill station near Uniontown was disabled with a one-word retort. The man, disguised by a gray hoodie and camouflage bandanna, reportedly walked up, stuck his hands in his pockets as if he had a gun, and said, “Give me all the money now!” The victim continued pumping gas and said, “Really?” according to the AP, ending the encounter. The suspect was described as 5-foot-9, thinly built and utterly unimpressive.

{BY MIKE WYSOCKI} CONGRATULATIONS TO the Cincinnati Bengals for drafting University of Pittsburgh wide receiver Tyler Boyd in this past month’s NFL Draft. It’s not often that the Bengals make a good move; the last one was in 1980, when they drafted the franchise’s only Hall of Famer, Anthony Munoz. So every 36 years the Bengals don’t bungle. All Cincinnati has to look forward to now is the 2052 NFL Draft. (That’s also the year that Donald Trump’s son Barron runs against Hillary Clinton’s granddaughter Charlotte in the presidential election.) The Bengals are so hapless that the word “Bengal” is now a verb. To Bengal means to prematurely celebrate a victory, then make a series of stupid moves to ensure that you lose. But the Bengals can at least celebrate until training camp starts. Tyler Boyd, the former Clairton Bear, was certainly one of the best players in recent Pitt football history. The Pitt Panthers have served as a reliable pipeline to the NFL for years, and Boyd is just the latest. In fact, there are 18 ex-Panthers on NFL rosters or practice squads right now. So, in celebration, here are the top eight Pitt players currently in the league. I based my rankings on accomplishments in the league to date, and not how good the player is right now. The number indicates the year each was drafted.

8) K’Waun Williams (2014): The Cleveland Browns defensive back is in football purgatory in the Mistake by the Lake, but is making the best of it. In two seasons, he has established himself as a competent player, which in Cleveland means really good. He’s already outlasted Johnny Manziel’s tenure there.

5) Jabaal Sheard (2011): He’s ahead of Donald only statistically. Sheard went from the Browns to the Patriots. That is the equivalent of playing guitar for Ugly Kid Joe, then signing on with Metallica. He’s accumulated 227 tackles and 31 sacks in his career, plus his new team is teaching him espionage techniques.

4) Andy Lee (2004): If Lee likes to punt, he’s on the right team. Cleveland routinely leads the league in punts, and also despair. Lee has kicked his way to three Pro Bowls and even once had an 82-yard punt. He is 13th all-time in punting yards and will move into the top 10 this season.

Shady’s been to four Pro Bowls, led the NFL in rushing and became the Philadelphia Eagles’ all-time leading rusher after just six seasons there. If he gets 1,000 yards this season, he will pass backs like Larry Czonka and Herschel Walker on the all-time rushing list. Then he can focus on breaking some records on his current team, the Buffalo Bills, held by O.J. Simpson — rushing records, not arrest records.

2) Darrelle Revis (2007): Only Darrelle and Gilligan have been special enough to have the word “Island” placed after their names. The Aliquippa Quip has seven Pro Bowls, 430 tackles, 28 interceptions and a Super Bowl on his Canton-bound resume. He has been one of the few things New York Jet fans have ever had a reason to be excited about.

1) Larry Fitzgerald (2004):

6) Aaron Donald (2014): The Los Angeles Ram is No. 6 and climbing rapidly. He’s already been to the Pro Bowl twice in as many seasons. Donald has compiled 117 tackles and 20 sacks along with accolades too numerous to list. By next year, the Penn Hills representative will probably be No. 3 on this list.

So when you go see the Pitt Panthers this fall, don’t just think of it as watching a college football game — think of it as an NFL futures game. I’m deﬁnitely going because the seats are cheap now, and when they get to the pros, I won’t be able to afford to see them live.

Clemmings was drafted in the fourth round last season by Minnesota. He’s already tied a franchise rookie record by starting all 16 games in his ﬁrst season. The 309-pound tackle could probably eat a medium order of fries at the Dirty O all by himself. But not a large order — nobody can do that.

NEXT.

3) LeSean McCoy (2009):

The greatest Pitt player in the past 30 years. He has nine Pro Bowls, 98 touchdowns and 13,366 receiving yards. He’s so good that he helped the Arizona Cardinals get to the Super Bowl, a once-unthinkable task. They should just retire his number while he’s playing, because he’s the best player in that organization’s history. He is 11th all-time in receptions, and if he catches 60 passes this year, he will tie Terrell Owens for sixth in NFL history. His 98 touchdowns are also 11th all-time; 13 more and he will be sixth on that list as well.

THIS WEEK IN CITY PAPER HISTORY

In celebration of City Paper’s 25th Anniversary, each week we’re looking back at the headlines, pictures and people who graced our pages over the years.

BILKING COMPETITION (May 17, 1995) It seemed like an innocuous story at the time. Thrift Drug, a once-large regional drugstore chain, held a big-time annual cycling event in Pittsburgh. Alan Wallace wrote a story for CP about the event adding a women’s invitational. Also, in 1996, the event would be part of the selection process for the U.S. Olympic team. But the most fascinating item in this report is about a young cyclist named Lance Armstrong. Armstrong had won this event the three previous years, including in 1993, when he’d won $1 million for taking three races known as cycling’s Triple Crown — the first round of which was in Pittsburgh. Many years later, as allegations came out about Armstrong’s decades-long history of cheating, came the admission that he paid off opposing riders in the Thrift Drug Triple Crown to let him win.

WON’T YOU CUT MY NEIGHBOR? (May 16, 1996) John Gardner wrote about how WQED, the publictelevision station that brought Mr. Rogers to the world, was facing some hard business decisions in the face of a $12 million debt. QED was considering selling off its flagship publication, Pittsburgh Magazine (a move that wouldn’t happen for many years), and was looking for ways to cut its budget. Prior to this story, the station was hit with allegations of mismanagement and high pay for executives. Not much positive would come of this, however. There were staff and programming cutbacks from time to time, but the station’s debt remained high, as did

There are certain issues of City Paper that we publish annually, and finding original concepts can be challenging. Take our Summer Guide. Each year we try to come up with a great image that says: “Hey, it’s summer; pick me up and see all the awesome stuff going on from now until Labor Day!” On May 20, 2013, then-editor Chris Potter had a fun, quirky idea based on the old ads in the backs of comic books that sold Sea Monkeys — underwater creatures that could be “trained to do tricks” and “entertain.” Of course, the original product was something of a scam, and our spoof was so obviously fake that we thought nobody could mistake it for a real product. Artist Mario Zucca drew the cover, and an inside cover even included a description of the creatures and ordering information. The “Mon-Monkeys” could be trained to do “all sorts of things: waving tiny towels over their heads and voting for members of the Zappala family.” It also came with a water depurifier to “ensure there’s enough pollution to keep your Mon-Monkeys feeling right at home.” For $2.50, plus $1.50 shipping and handling, you could get a MonMonkey starter kit by sending the money and order form to the Allegheny Conference on Community Development. Sure, the ACCD was a real organization and we even printed its real address, but what’s the problem? It’s obviously a joke, right? Not only did we receive inquiries at City Paper offices about ordering the creatures, but the ACCD received several order forms in the mail that included real checks for a fake product. Two weeks later, CP issued a clarification under the headline: “Mon-Monkeys do not exist.” The mea culpa concluded: “Mon-monkeys do not exist, and the only purpose of this ‘ad’ was to create a loving satire of Pittsburgh life. We apologize to our readers who may have been confused and to the Allegheny Conference for any headaches caused by our ridiculous stunt.”

executive salaries, until 2015, when executive pay was cut and a quarter of the station’s staff was laid off. The remaining debt, about $5 million should be retired in 2030.

PATIENCE, MR. PEDUTO, PATIENCE (May 25, 2005) Chris Potter reported from the election-night campaign party of then-city councilor Bill Peduto, who had just been drubbed by newly elected Mayor Bob O’Connor. Peduto told reporters that a new political movement was coming. Potter wrote: “Every candidate says he’s building a platform for the future, of course. … But Peduto may actually deliver.” It didn’t happen four years later, but the 2013 campaign was filled with the buzzword “New Pittsburgh.”

THE HEALING POWER OF OHIO (May 15, 2008) CP writer Al Hoff decided to take a road trip as the main feature of our Summer Guide. But Hoff, never one for convention, toured religious attractions in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland. Among the highlights was a visit to Ernest Angley’s ministry outside of Cleveland, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. She attended a Friday-night service, led by the famous/infamous Angley, that featured one of his classic healing sessions. Hoff reported: “I see no genuine miracles. A young man with crutches discards them, then limps a few steps. Angely pronounces him healed but returns the crutches, telling him to ‘use them ’til you don’t need to anymore.’ Well, duh.”

SPICY OCTOPUS IS A NEW DISH, AND IT WAS FANTASTIC

FORK AND FARM {BY ASHLEY MURRAY} The latest opportunity in dining farm-to-fork comes from Frankferd Farms in Saxonburg, Pa. What started as a small farm and flour mill in the mid-20th century is now a thriving organic-foods and -flour distributor. This summer, the more-than-100-year-old barn will be open for a dinner series. “We love to share food,” says Terra Ferderber, whose parents still own the farm where she is now the manager of special projects. “It’s our livelihood obviously, but we’ve always found that our favorite social gatherings and some of our best friendships were born over food.” From June to September, Ferderber will partner with four of the business’ clients to present themed meals. These include: Randita’s (vegan dinner), 412 Food Rescue (charity dinner), Franktuary and Spak Brothers. Wigle Whiskey will provide the cocktails; Narcisi Winery will pour out, of course, the wine; local breweries will feature beer; and even the live music will be locally sourced. “It’s a pretty rustic setting,” Ferderber says. “The barn that the dinners are in is, I think, 125 years old, but with a little bit of a modern twist. We have solar panels on it now.” Tables will be communal, and Ferderber says she’s hoping that “people leave with new friends and a deeper respect or understanding of what it takes to get food from a farm onto a dinner plate.”

RIT & GRACE opened two-and-a-

half years ago promising to “push opposites to the extreme,” as suggested by the name and demonstrated by a menu that brought together disparate global cuisines, classic and ultra-modern techniques, and ingredients from lobster to Cheez-Its. It mostly nailed it, but a recent rebranding and menu revamp conﬁrms our hunch that food might be one area where most people are not looking for an extreme experience. Under the more casual banner of G&G Noodle Bar, not all of the original concept has been jettisoned. There are still daily dim sum offerings, a blend of sharing plates and entrees, and even certain speciﬁc dishes have been held over. But like a brash youth putting on the responsible suit of adulthood, G&G’s menu has quit

its global adventuring and settled ﬁrmly in the inspirational territory of East Asia. Dishes hew more closely to their traditional antecedents, and molecular gastronomy has evaporated.

CP APPROVED One of our favorites from Grit & Grace to survive this transition was short rib on a split cream-cheese biscuit with hollandaise. The biscuit was richly tender and crisp-edged, the beef utterly supple and

succulent, and the hollandaise decadently creamy, though the new sesame inﬂection was so subtle as to be in name only. Another former favorite didn’t acquit itself quite so well this time around. Dim sum pork-belly bites were served in an orange-chili-garlic-ginger glaze that was syrupy, but not very sweet, and dotted with a spicy, creamy sauce. This was all good, but the meat itself was uniformly chewy where, on our previous visit, it had been tender with faintly crisp edges. Spicy octopus was the ﬁrst of the new dishes we tried, and it was fantastic, despite several ingredients that, not unlike the old menu, made us say “hmm”: celery, candied cashews and egg custard. While none of these is an obvious accompaniment to cephalopod salad, they worked together wonderfully against the tender CONTINUES ON PG. 16

sliced tentacles flavored with garlic and chili oil. The celery consisted of leaves and pale, non-stringy slices of heart, while the egg custard was in small, firm cubes that recalled tofu, but richer. The nutty sweetness of the chopped cashews brought welcome counterpoint to this salad’s bitter, salty and spicy notes. Pork potstickers have become de rigueur on menus from bars to bistros, so common they hardly resister as Asian anymore. G&G’s surpassed most with their beautifully browned wrappers and flavorful filling studded with zingy green onions; they were served in a shallow film of soy sauce flavored with astringent Chinese vinegar. Chicken satay was in meatball format, drizzled with teriyaki and plated with smears of butter-like peanut sauce, with some pickled shallot for texture and brightness. The meatballs were plump and juicy, but also too salty, alas. Salt was also an issue with the fivespice roasted pork shoulder that accompanied our ramen. There are three traditional ramen bowls on the menu, but this dish came on a plate, with slices of pork, a mound of noodles and a dipping bowl of broth. The noodles were studded with chili, ginger and scallion, while the broth was slightly piquant and simply luscious. But on the pork, the cumulative warmth of star anise, cinnamon, cloves, fennel, and Sichuan peppercorns was overwhelmed by salt, as if the meat had been both brined and rubbed. Seafood coconut curry with rice noodles sounded like it would be soupy, but instead clung almost invisibly to flat, perfectly al dente noodles. The sauce was perceptible mainly by its wonderful flavor, delicate and aromatic, punched up by plenteous slices of red jalapeño. The dish’s shrimp and mussels were beyond reproach, but the curry itself was brilliant. Dandan, a Chinese street-food noodle dish featuring spicy ground pork in a nutty sesame-based sauce, also shone in an almost dry preparation that highlighted the textures as well as the flavors of its other ingredients: crunchy, juicy bean sprouts; pungent pickled Chinese cabbage; and a dippy egg that melted into the noodles when its yolk was broken. In a sense, it’s a shame that the striving ambition so evident in Grit & Grace’s original incarnation has been replaced by the comfort-food cliché of the moment, noodles. But it’s hard not to love noodles as good as these, and the kitchen’s underlying intelligence shone through in almost every dish we tasted. Grit & Grace is done and gone; long live G&G Noodle Bar.

{BY CELINE ROBERTS}

OWNING IT Employee ownership at Voodoo Brewery Voodoo Brewery in Homestead buzzed with excited employees on the night of May 4 when the company officially launched its new employee-ownership program. General Manager Jake Voelker and the ownership group spent a year working with financial advisers to develop the program that would best suit the company’s 17 employees. Eligible staff will now own stock in the business, with an increasing percentage over a six-year period.

“MY EMPLOYEES ARE LIKE A FAMILY.” Given the food and beverage industry’s high employee-turnover rate, Voodoo’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is meant to reward employees who stay with the company and to inspire vested interest in its day-to-day operation. Voelker felt strongly about the program and rewarding his employees’ investment of time and dedication in building Voodoo. “This is a proud day for me. This is more than just a job; my employees are like a family,” said Voelker. Voodoo Brewery is now one of the country’s smallest employee-owned businesses. With nine years under its belt, Voodoo was one of the earlier craft breweries in Western Pennsylvania. The original location is in Meadville; the Homestead location opened in 2015. The brewery also launched a food truck, doubled its brewing capacity and expanded distribution to all of Pennsylvania’s counties and into two new states. Voodoo places a high priority on creativity and harnessing the ideas of everyone in the company to produce a superior product and experience. For instance, staff and management collaborate on events — including themed food-truck roundups — that happen weekly at both locations. The brewery’s motto is to create beers that are “fun, flavorful and thought-provoking.” Its products also tend to have a higher ABV than an average domestic. (The alcoholby-volume content of Voodoo’s regularly available beers ranges between 7 and 12.5 percent.) The beer bottles are decorated with colorful labels and provide backstories on the product. This move toward employee ownership shows that Voodoo is dedicated to making its work environment, like its brews, “fun, flavorful and thought-provoking.” CELINE@PGHCITYPAPER.COM

“NOT ONLY IS JUMP WITH JILL EDUCATIONALLY SOUND, IT IS COMPLETELY ROCK AND ROLL.”

BEAT

{BY ALEX GORDON}

Walk into Heinz Hall this Sunday and you’ll see a huge video screen over the stage in lieu of the musicians, dancers or comedians who usually perform there. Four-thousand-something miles away in Berlin, the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra will be preparing for a night of Rachmaninoff, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. At 2 p.m. EST, the PSO connects the two for its first live, public streaming of an overseas concert — available free to viewers at Heinz Hall or on pittsburghsymphonyorchestra.com. “[The Berlin Philharmonic has] an incredible technical set-up there which is equivalent to the Met broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera,” says Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra President Melia Tourangeau. “So what we’re doing is basically taking advantage of that system and doing a live feed of the concert back to Heinz Hall in real time. It will be as if you’re sitting in Berlin watching the Pittsburgh Symphony.” The simulcast is a product of good timing — 8 p.m. in Berlin lines up nicely with a matinee in Pittsburgh — and the robust digital infrastructure of the Berlin Philharmonic. Its Digital Concert Hall program, which provides live streams of performances across a number of online platforms, is a standout, even as digital streaming has become more common in classical music. “At the beginning, HD streaming on the Internet was a tough challenge,” Tobias Möller, director of marketing and communications for Berlin Phil Media, wrote via email. “You need to invest continuously in all kinds of platforms because customers expect you to present your content on all media.” Classical music is expensive to produce. The quality of the instruments, the number of performers, the reliance on good acoustics — it all adds up to a pricey ticket. While a live stream might not match the power of an in-the-room performance, it does allow the organization to reach a new audience and share its music beyond the confines of ticket price. “We’re really one of the premiere ambassadors of the city and the region,” says PSO’s Tourangeau. “So the purpose of this broadcast back to Heinz Hall is to say, ‘Come and see what the world is actually seeing while we’re out and about.’” ALEXGORDON@PGHCITYPAPER.COM

HEALTH ROCK {BY REBECCA NUTTALL}

T’S EASY TO see why Jump with Jill, the

internationally touring rock ’n’ roll nutrition show, appeals to kids. A music video for the song “Sweet Beat” features everything you’d expect from a chart-topping hip-hop hit: break-dancing, a DJ on turntables and a car displayed in the background. Another video, for “Get Me Going,” features a rapping Pitbull-esque character complete with suit and bling, and Jump with Jill creator Jill Jayne belting out Jennifer Lopez-esque vocals. “Not only is Jump with Jill educationally sound, it is completely rock and roll,” Jill Jayne wrote in an email to Pittsburgh City Paper while on tour. “We reach kids in a way that actually interests them. The timing of our program is also extremely relevant to our success. Now, more than ever, our society is interested in nutrition and wellness. This allows us so many opportunities to bring Jump with Jill to kids all over the world to enjoy and learn from.”

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 05.18/05.25.2016

Jump with Jill specializes in teaching nutrition and physical-activity habits through music and dance, with the goal of getting “kids to remember a song about water instead of a jingle about soda,” Jayne says. The idea originated as part of her master’s thesis at Columbia University. For more information visit

WWW.JUMPWITHJILL.COM “Jump with Jill comes from a really honest place,” says Mark Jayne, Jill’s brother, who plays the role of DJ. “We originally were tasked with teaching classes of innercity kids in New York City about nutrition, and you can’t just go rolling in there, kicking in the door with facts and percentages about how someday you might get heart disease. We had to develop something immediately to reach these kids. And that’s why it’s special, it’s why it works, because it’s not some corporate product.”

Mark and Jill were both in college, touring in rock bands while they worked on their degrees in communications and nutrition respectively, when the idea for Jump with Jill emerged. What started as a street show in Central Park in 2006 is now celebrating its 10th anniversary. And through the years, it’s been a way for the two to stay connected to their passion for music. “When you’re a musician there’s so many things that are running through your head about what’s important. Is it superstardom, is it money, is it response to art?” says Mark Jayne. “Jill and I always felt like we just wanted people to interact with our art and interact with our music and that’s what we have with Jump with Jill. We always respond to that connection.” And now their business has grown to three casts touring internationally. Locally, they’ve performed for the Woodland Hills, New Kensington and Pittsburgh Public school districts. As Pittsburgh natives, CONTINUES ON PG. 20

these are some of their favorite shows. “As a kid, [nutrition is] something that never really stood out to me, and I think as adults Jill and I really understood the need to make nutrition education interesting and fun,” says Mark Jayne. “Reﬂecting on when we were kids, [nutrition] was really square and really boring. We really do try to leverage what … gets them excited.” The background of the cast of Jump with Jill is diverse, including an improv comedian, school teachers and dieticians. But the one major requirement for cast members is to stay up to date on pop culture. “Every year the show changes. The attention span of young people today is getting shorter and shorter, so you have to be saying the right things, playing the right songs, having the right jokes,” says Mark Jayne. “Everybody who works here, no matter how old you are, you have to know the Top 40 songs that the kids are singing. Staying current is the difference between a group of kids staring at you versus them thinking you’re the coolest person ever because you played the right song at the right time, and they realize they can relate to you.” While Jump with Jill’s songs and videos are stylized in a vein similar to Kidz Bop covers of pop hits, the lyrics have more messages than today’s vapid Top 40 tunes. Lyrics include, “I eat fruit because it’s sweet / Make a fruit salad / It’s so sweet” and “Grabbing up my spoon and bowl / pouring in my cereal / Splash it with some low-fat milk.” “Music speaks to everyone young and old,” says Jill Jayne via email. “We feel here at Jump with Jill that no one likes to be bored, especially kids. Music is that universal language that immediately connects us. From there, we are able to open the larger conversation about nutrition and why it rocks so hard!” Ultimately, for Mark, Jill and their fellow cast members, being a part of Jump with Jill is a way to ﬁght against the mass promotion of unhealthy foods. They also say it helps promote the importance of ensuring that children have access to healthy foods. “I’ve always had a passion for inspiring and educating students, so being able to put my passion for teaching with my passion for performing together to empower students to make healthy choices for themselves is incredible,” says Hailey McDonell, who plays the role of Jill in the mid-Atlantic cast. “I have performed the show over 300 times, and I still get chills when the kids are screaming for vegetables and nature’s candy. It’s absolutely incredible and such an amazing opportunity not only for me but also for the kids that get to see the show.” R NU T TAL L @PGH C IT YPAPE R . C O M

NEW RELEASES {BY ANDREW WOEHREL}

AUBREE NICOLE DIARY OF AUBREE (TAYLOR WAY ENTERTAINMENT) WWW.DIARYOFAUBREE.COM

It’s tempting at first to make shallow comparisons between Aubree Nicole and Adele: They both have “A” names and were born in the U.K. Nicole, however, moved to Pittsburgh to pursue a career as a pop singer (move over, Los Angeles!). And on this five-song debut EP, Nicole shows that she is no Adele knockoff: On the track “So Fly,” in particular, she takes more inspiration from Beyoncé. Nicole has a smoky voice that sounds more mature than her 21 years, and her slinky and modern R&B beats are a consistent highlight. Though Diary of Aubree feels a bit unfinished (several songs just seem to fade out without a proper conclusion) and has some dated-sounding production choices, it’s clear that this is the work of a young singer with a lot of aspiration and drive.

SOUR WINE CULT POSCA (ARMED PUSSY CAT RECORDS) WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/SWCROCKS

Remember when Scott Weiland died back in November, and people started thinking about Stone Temple Pilots again? I don’t think the members of Sour Wine Cult ever stopped thinking about Stone Temple Pilots. (This actually makes sense: Sour Wine Cult formed during STP’s heyday, in 1993, then broke up, then reformed two decades later.) Posca sounds like an artifact from a certain time and place, namely a stereo tuned to a modern-rock radio station sometime in the ’90s. It’s hard to believe that this record came out this year, because it’s such a dead ringer for postgrunge bands like Seven Mary Three, Candlebox or Collective Soul — though Sour Wine Cult thankfully lacks the pomposity and pretentiousness of many of those bands.

Zombi: Steve Moore (left) and Anthony Paterra

REANIMATOR ROCK {BY MARGARET WELSH} FOR MOST BANDS, a physical separation is

the same as a breakup. For Zombi, it was just the beginning of a new era. After forming in Pittsburgh around 2000, Zombi spent several years making a name for itself, helping put Pittsburgh music on the map, mostly through steady touring. Then things began to slow down. In 2009, bassist Steve Moore moved to New York City while drummer Anthony Paterra stayed behind to work on his own projects. But the two continued to make music, via ﬁle-sharing: In Zombi, synthesizers essentially take the place of guitars, so Paterra would record drums for synth tracks, and Moore would add bass tracks, or vice versa.

ZOMBI, TROXUM, BROUGHTON’S RULES 10 p.m. Sat., May 21. Spirit. 242 51st St., Lawrenceville. $12-15. 412-586-4441 or www.spiritpgh.com

“When we ﬁrst started doing that, it was fun, it was really freeing,” says Paterra. They recorded two well-received records that way — 2009’s Spirit Animal and 2011’s Escape Velocity. But eventually that approach started to get old: The distance affected the music. Those records still sounded like Zombi, but they were a bit more sterile, a little less human. “There was that period where it seemed like everything became a little too produced or clean,” Paterra says. “[We both played] in these kind of post-punk bands back in the day, and we still like that rawness to come across.” From the beginning, Paterra and

Moore’s musical partnership was built on a love of the British prog rock of King Crimson and Yes, and the band Goblin, which scored the soundtracks to horror movies like Dawn of the Dead. Those are the influences most evident in Zombi’s eerie, spaced-out jams, but a strong affection for bands like Van Halen and Deep Purple also shines through. Words like synthwave are invariably used to describe Zombi, but the duo wants listeners to remember that it is, first and foremost, a rock band. To that point, last year’s Shape Shift was written and recorded with both members in the same room, and the result might be the most rocking and fully realized entry to the band’s catalog. “When you get away from [playing and recording in person], you kind of lose a lot of the intricacies … that you would write if you were continually playing together,” Paterra says. “Those little bits of personality are lost when you’re just writing things on your own and then saying, ‘Here’s a finished song, just put drums to this.’” It’s also notable that, unlike those last couple records, most of the songs on Shape Shift can be recreated live. “We wrote it with that in mind, and that sets certain limitations on what we can do, but it is nice knowing that we can pull it off in a live setting.” Zombi remains a long-distance band — Moore lives in New York state and Paterra’s solo project, Majeure, will hit the road with Vancouver’s Black Mountain in June — so tours are rare. Last November, the duo went out for two weeks, for the first time in two years. This tour, built around an appearance at Moogfest in Durham, N.C., is just eight shows. But playing together in person always feels good. “I love it,” Paterra says. “I know Steve missed it as well. ... We’ve played so many shows that now to go out and do less than 10 shows is kind of a nice thing.” MWELSH @PGH C IT YPAPE R . C O M

[POP] + FRI., MAY 20 Equal parts gloomy and charming, Peach Kelli Popâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound is overflowing with infectious melodies. The band has mastered the art of combining driving punk with pop sensibilities, and that combination allows for thrashy tunes like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hundred Dollar Billâ&#x20AC;? to exist in tandem with the lilting waltz of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuck in a Dream.â&#x20AC;? This spring tour rides on the recent release of Halloween Mask, a 7-inch out on Lauren Records, and will be stopping tonight at the Mr. Roboto Project. Filling out the lineup is the fuzzy-rock darlings Dream Phone, noise-rockers Dumplings and garagedwellers The Spectres. Meg Fair 7 p.m. 5106 Penn Ave., Bloomfield. $10.

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 05.18/05.25.2016

The Tilt Room is celebrating the release of its new record, Nostalgic Future. The Pittsburgh-based indie-rock project is guided by the acoustic The Tilt guitar work of vocalist Room Mike Swindell. The album features whispers of prog rock, and it ebbs and flows between energetically hopeful and laid-back. Joining the Tilt Room at Club CafĂŠ is 3 Dudes Chillinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a mellow, stripped-down trio with hints of reggae and acoustic rock. MF 7 p.m. 56 S. 12th St., South Side. $8. 412-431-4950 or www.clubcafelive.com

[ROCK] + SUN., MAY 22 Coif your Morrissey swoop and ready yourself: DIIV is bringing its bouncy, saccharine rock to Spirit. Grooving bass lines and chorus-pedalladen guitars guide the memorable riffs and floating vocals on DIIVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, Is the Is Are. The atmospheric sound marries well with the brooding, intimate lyrics of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader, Zachary Cole Smith. The Paranoyds will

complement the new-wave-drenched sounds of DIIV with a grimier rock sound. Mysterious third opener bring her is sure to fit right in. MF 7 p.m. 242 51st St., Lawrenceville. $15. 412-586-4441 or www.spiritpgh.com

[GOTH] + SUN., MAY 22 Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Haldol stops at the Rock Room tonight to share its goth post-punk and dark political warnings. Starting with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hasbara,â&#x20AC;? a song about the reason behind Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public-relations effort, the band self-titled LP dismantles topics like oppression, violence and organized religion. Haldolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound would be aptly personified by the image of a deeply stern and disappointed grim reaper. Locals Empty Beings, whose brief, aggressive tracks are accented by haunting vocals and eerie licks, will open the show. MF 8 p.m. 1054 Herron Ave, Polish Hill. $5.

[PUNK] + WED., MAY 25 The Urinals, appearing tonight at Howlers, are true punks. The band formed in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s as a joke but went on to perform with bands like Black Flag, carving out a nook in SoCalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influential punk history. Lately, the Urinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sound is a bit less lo-fi and grimy than the characteristic blistering punk of, say, its â&#x20AC;&#x2122;97 release Negative Capability â&#x20AC;Ś Check It Out!, but it still carries the same energy and wit. Next Year at Marienbad, from 2014, offers a more straightforward rock sound, with tracks like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water / Bloodâ&#x20AC;? even expressing some pop leanings. Garage-rock locals Love Letters and a punk-rock-inspired indie rapper from New Jersey, JE Double F, open. MF 9 p.m. 4509 Liberty Ave., Bloomfield. $10. 21 and over. 412-682-0320 or www.howlerspittsburgh.com

SUMMER FILMS {BY AL HOFF}

Recovery is a journey, not a destination. THEY CALL summer the “lazy days,” and the big studios sure do exhibit such tendencies: The number of sequels, remakes and reboots this season is epic. Let’s start with the sequels: Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska continue the fantastical Victorian journey in Alice Through the Looking Glass (May 27); that same day, X-Men: Apocalypse begins, helmed by Bryan Singer. It’s another round with the crimefighting amphibians in TMNT: Out of the Shadows (June 3), and more underwater fish-based fun with Pixar’s Finding Nemo follow-up, Finding Dory (June 17). On June 10, paranormal investigators take on another spooky house, this one in 1970s London, in The Conjuring 2; and the snarky band of professional magicians are back in Now You See Me 2. Also baaaaack — the Earth-pummeling aliens of Independence Day. But so is Jeff Goldblum, so see what happens in Independence Day: Resurgence, exploding into theaters on June 24. In this third outing, The Purge: Election Year (July 1), it is now legal to kill elected officials. (For more upbeat political fare, try Southside With You, on Aug. 19, a dramedy imagining the first date of Barack and Michelle Obama.) A pair of familiar franchises return on July 22: Star Trek Beyond charts the future via space travel, while Ice Age: Collision Course checks in with the past and a worrisome asteroid. Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass team up again for the further spy adventures of Jason Bourne (July 29). Other assorted remakes and reboots include: the videogame Warcraft, which becomes a movie June 10; The Legend of Tar-

Southside With You, Aug. 19

The Conjuring 2, June 10

zan (July 1), starring Alexander Skarsgard as the vine-swinger; the all-female Ghostbusters (July 15), with Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy; the big-screen version of the 1990s cult TV hit Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (July 22); the DC comic Suicide Squad (Aug. 5); a do-over of Disney’s Pete’s Dragon (Aug. 12); and another round of chariot-racing in Ben-Hur (Aug. 19), from Timur Bekmambetov. Hopefully, the tedium of so much revisiting will be relieved by some decent comedies. Andy Samberg stars in the mockumentray Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping, out June 3. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart portray mismatched spies in Central Intelligence (June 17). It’s more CONTINUES ON PG. 30

Ghostbusters, July 15

laughs in July with a pair of self-explanatory titles: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (July 8) and Bad Moms (July 29). Meryl Streep can do anything, even portray an untalented entertainer in the comedic bio-pic Florence Foster Jenkins, out Aug. 12. Also that day: Sausage Party, an R-rated animated comedy about talking food. The ripped-from-real-life War Dogs (Aug. 19) finds Jonah Hill and Miles Teller riffing on arms merchants. For fresher drama, look for The Shallows (June 24), in which a woman fends off a shark at sea. Also on June 24, Matthew McConaughey heads up the Civil War drama Free State of Jones. The shot-inPittsburgh drama Fathers and Daughters, starring Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried, opens July 8. And on Aug. 5, look for Pittsburgh’s favorite son, Michael Keaton, in The Founder, about Ray Kroc and the birth of McDonald’s. Slim pickings for kids this season: Steven Spielberg adapts Roald Dahl’s tale, The BFG, about a “big friendly giant”; nt”; it’s out July 1. On July 8, The Secret Life of Pets, who live in New York City, gets exposed in this animated comedy. Another animated work, the e stop-motion Kubo and the Two Strings (Aug. 19), is a fantastical adventure set in ancient Japan. The local art and rep houses will offer fare beyond explosions. During the Three Rivers Arts Festival, Pittsburgh Filmmakers’ Harris Theater will screen the three-part River of Fundament, Matthew Barney’s adaptation of Norman Mailer’s 1983 novel Ancient Evenings. And check the Filmmakers website for other indie, offbeat and classic films this summer (www. pghfilmmakers.org).

The Secret Life of Pets, July 8

The Hollywood in Dormont is: hosting a hip-hop/film event on June 17 (Jasiri X scoring the 1925 film Body and Soul); highlighting the 40th anniversary of Logan’s Run (June 23); and serving cat-video fans with Kitty Kat Theater (July 2) (with live cat ttricks) and the Internet Cat Video Festival (Aug. 26). Lawrenceville’s Row House Cinema celebrates its second birthday in June with a sidewalk carnib val; upcoming weekly series include: Staff Favorites, Coming-of-Age Films and Concert Films, with Gimme Shelter and Wild Style. The warmer weather means area drive-ins are open, and Pittsburghers can also walk to several city parks for outdoor films: The Dollar Bank Cinema in the Park (www.citiparks.net) series returns on June 5, with recent films including Concussion and Minions, plus Spark!, a slate of eight films designed to encourage discussion; Wednesday-night Schenley Park screenings are preceded by live music.

FLOWER POWER

ANY CRITICISM OF THE MACHINE IS SUBSUMED BY A PROCEDURAL INDICTING THE VILLAIN

{BY AL HOFF} The gist of Eiichi Yamamoto’s 1973 animated tale Belladonna of Sadness is straightforward: In some long-ago time, a poor peasant girl named Jeanne, after being raped and degraded, makes a pact with the devil to gain power over those who would subjugate her. (The film is a loose adaptation of Jules Michelet’s 1862 work Satanism and Witchcraft.) At first she resists the penis-shaped demon, but he proves too compelling. Once empowered, she leads the village into freaky flower orgies, and later — like her namesake Joan of Arc and other reputed witchy women — she is destroyed (or is she?) at the burning stake.

The color of sad

But you won’t be watching the avant-garde Belladonna for the story. Instead, it offers hand-drawn animation — ranging from trippy psychedelics and line drawings reminiscent of early 1970s advertising to lots of sexually suggestive illustration. (“Belladonna” is both a deadly flower and a beautiful woman, and the work’s female protagonist is frequently depicted erotically entwined with flowers.) There are nods to both traditional Japanese watercolors and the swirly, surrealistic rock posters of the late 1960s. The soundtrack veers from upbeat lounge to psych-rock, and the total experience is very midnight movie: Relax your mind and just let the sounds and images, some beautiful, some disturbing, swirl around you. Due to the film’s explicit sexual imagery (some of it violent), screenings are 18-and-older. In Japanese, with subtitles. 10 p.m. Fri., May 20; 9:30 p.m. Sat., May 21; and 7 p.m. Sun., May 22.

Bad money management: Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell) trusted TV.

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT {BY AL HOFF}

HE FINANCIAL crash of 2008 was too

big, too complex and, perhaps, too painful to be transformed into popular but probing entertainment. Sure, we got some good stern-talking Frontlines and similar-style docs, and last year’s The Big Short found the sweet spot between pitchblack hilarity and righteous outrage. One problem was that there were just so many culpable players in the meltdown. When I saw the previews for Jodie Foster’s Money Monster, I thought: “Ah, now somebody’s calling bullshit on the ﬁnancial ‘news’ entertainment sector.” Lee Gates (George Clooney) is the slick, smug host of a cable-TV show called Money Monster, and his shtick is hyperbolic drivetime. But Gates’ previous on-air hyping of a “hot” stock pick (since tanked) has driven an everyman, Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell), to barge onto the live show to hold Gates accountable. Budwell straps Gates into a bomb vest and weepily recounts his money matters (a.k.a. “lost everything”), all while Gates’ producer, Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts),

keeps the show on the air. Money Monster unfolds in real time, and is fairly entertaining as a basic madman-hostage-cops genre piece. There are some jumps to seemingly random spots beyond Manhattan (Iceland, South Africa, South Korea) that eventually make sense. And though we get the requisite reaction shots of folks gathering around TVs to

MONEY MONSTER DIRECTED BY: Jodie Foster STARRING: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O’Connell

watch the craziness unfold, Foster chooses not to rigorously interrogate the viewers’ role. (Naturally, Budwell demands the cameras stay on, and naturally, the global TV village watches.) Monster occasionally veers into dark comedy, and I hoped perhaps this would be Foster’s avenue into sharper critique … of something.

But in the end, any criticism of the machine, be it the financial sector or its media handmaidens, is subsumed by a procedural indicting the villain (singular — just one bad guy!). Bomb-toting Budwell and soulless-rich-jerk Gates get rehabilitated via basic movie tropes. Heroes! The overwhelming ethos of Money Monster isn’t “Wall Streets sucks,” “you bet, the little guy is angry” or even “too much information is just making us dumber,” but the show must go on. Perhaps not surprising from a director who has been a steady presence in show biz since she was 7. The film rallies most fiercely around Fenn’s admirable ability to produce a TV show on the fly — while sitting next to a bomb — and juggling a dozen off-site sources to craft a breaking-news narrative on a complex topic. Oh, and keep a guy on live TV from shooting the host or himself. Or as Gates lovingly says to her immediately before airtime: “Just point the camera in my direction and we’ll figure it out together.” Great show, people! A H OF F @ P G HC I T Y PA P E R. C OM

DOUGH. John Goldschmidt directs this comedy about an elderly Jewish baker who finds his profits soaring after his young Muslim apprentice adds weed to the dough. Starts Fri., May 20. Manor THE MEDDLER. Marnie (Susan Sarandon) is warm, generous and means well, but she simply can’t resist the urge to get up in other people’s business. She is, admittedly, at loose ends since the recent death of her husband. This has prompted her to relocate to Los Angeles, so she can micromanage the life of her screenwriter daughter (Rose Byrne). The film, written and directed by Lorene Scafaria (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World), mostly serves as a showcase for Sarandon, who ably cycles through a series of low-key sit-com and rom-com scenes. There are some light points to be made about mother-daughter relationships (and the boundaries thereof), and the difficulties of moving on from loss. But at least Marnie, like Sarandon herself, is undaunted by her age: She’s lively and colorful, fully embracing new experiences, new gizmos and new friends. Starts Fri., May 20.

Maria Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes met as teenagers in an Argentine milango, or tango dance hall. For the next 50 years, they performed as a dance couple — internationally renowned as masters of the tango. They also maintained a romantic, if rocky, relationship, until a personal and professional split late in life. German Kral’s documentary profile lets the two — now in their 80s — recount their life stories, using the conceit of young tango dancers preparing a tribute production about the couple. (These younger performers also “act out” scenes from the couple’s past through stylized dance routines.) Of the two, Copes is more guarded in his recollections, and his history reflects his more privileged status in the male-dominated culture. For Rego, the past is infinitely more painful, marked with betrayals and regrets, but she remains feisty in spite of her trials, and even pragmatic: Tango may be the dance of love, but she makes a strong argument for the creative energy of hate. The film is an intimate look at a seemingly intimate dance, an illusion maintained through the hard work of its talented practioners. In Spanish, with subtitles. Starts Fri., May 20.

Our Last Tango

Tale of Tales

The Angry Birds Movie

TALE OF TALES. This lush, if slowly paced, production from Matteo Garrone presents three somewhat intertwined stories, inspired by the fairy tales of Giambattista Basile. In one, a queen (Salma Hayek) is so desperate for a child that she sends her husband (John C. Reilly) to the bottom of the sea in search of a sea monster’s heart, as part of a magical pact to conceive. Another royal person (Toby Jones) disregards the needs of his teenage daughter when he becomes obsessed with a giant flea. And a libertine nobleman (Vincent Cassel) is enchanted by an overheard song, which, alas, is sung by an old crone, prompting assorted subterfuges. Among all the parties there are bad bargains, secrets, violent ends and forays into the magical and just plain freaky. None of the tales are that remarkable on paper, but the production values are top-notch, with fantastic sets and costumes, and the slate of committed actors keeps this affair watchable.

FOOD SYSTEMS, CHAPTER 3: THE ECOSYSTEM. This third chapter of local filmmaker David Bernabo’s series about the local food scene examines the ecosystem in which food production occurs. Continuing the style of previous chapters — documentary meets art film — this installment jumps between long shots of Pennsylvania countryside and subject interviews, cut with montages of dancing foods or explanatory illustrations. Bernabo focuses on the impact of industrial farming’s monoculture crops, as well as other issues faced by small Pennsylvania growers, such as land cost, climate change and nearby fracking.

FRACK AND FICTION THE ARTIST}

{BY BILL O’DRISCOLL}

Matthew Conboy’s “Picturing me picturing you picturing me …” {PHOTO COURTESY OF

In her curatorial statement for The Seen and the Unseen, at Neu Kirche Contemporary Art, Hannah Turpin says that the show exposes “the manipulatable and transitory reality of position and placement.” The exhibition includes works by three artists exploring space and place. Matthew Conboy’s installation “Picturing me picturing you picturing me …” at first seems like a one-liner, but it is also a clever take on the current state of photography itself. On one wall, a monitor mimics an iPhone’s vertical rectangular shape. On it plays a video of Conboy swiping left through the many iPhone images taken of him using a camera to photograph each person who is simultaneously taking a photo of him with Conboy’s own iPhone. On the opposite wall, a horizontal monitor shows him scrolling through the portraits on his digital camera of people taking his picture while he takes theirs. He is shown with the camera obscuring his face while the images he has taken with a more traditional camera show people concentrating on the task of taking a photograph with a cell phone. The location, recognizable as Beijing’s photogenic Forbidden City, takes a back seat, thus refuting the typical tourist experience. Conboy focuses on the experience between two observers, each simultaneously photographer and subject. If Conboy’s piece is a type of triangulated selfie, Jimmy Riordan’s “Point A, Point B, Point C” is a different exercise in triangulation. Riordan places three viewfinders on three pedestals, each pointing at the others. Nearby is a triangular floor projection, itself broken up based on the Sierpinski model of continually subdivided, recursively smaller equilateral triangles. Images in the video were gathered from a search for three viewpoints in Pittsburgh where from each the other two are visible. Lori Hepner’s abstracted Arctic landscapes are similarly convoluted. They are long-exposure “light paintings” that she creates using a multi-step process that includes photographs taken on hikes; LEDs; and movement in a darkened interior space that is barely visible in the background. The resultant images are meditations on climate change, memory, and digital vs. physical experience. All three artists use closed-loop methods to alter our understanding of location or situation and destabilize our notions of a fixed reality. Interpretation is based on our particular position in space, and even that is inexact and immeasurable.

ENNIFER HAIGH grew up in smalltown Cambria County — coal country, though as a teenager in the 1980s she witnessed the region’s economic decline as mining faded. While Haigh now lives near Boston, she frequently returns to Western Pennsylvania in her critically acclaimed fiction, such as the 2005 novel Baker Towers and the 2013 short-story collection News From Heaven. The advent of hydrofracturing for natural gas — fracking — brought Haigh back again. Her stellar new novel, Heat & Light (Ecco), tracks a large and diverse cast of complex, flawed characters through the first years of fracking in fictional Bakerton. They range from a gascompany leasing agent and a prison guard hoping to cash in on drilling to a lesbian dairy farmer and her partner; an environmental activist; the Texas-based head of a drilling firm; and the prison guard’s wife, who fears fracking’s health impacts. Money gets made; water gets contaminated; and relationships are threatened. On May 23, Haigh’s book tour hits Pittsburgh. She recently spoke with CP by phone.

not what I do. That would make for some terrible, terrible ﬁction. Whatever personal feelings I have about fracking were constantly changing as I wrote this book. It’s the magic of point of view. As a ﬁction writer, you inhabit one character at a time, and you see the world through that person’s eyes. … So the sections I wrote from the point of view of Kip the Whip, the CEO of the gas company, I’m looking at the world through his eyes, and I’m suspending any other judgments and contradictory views I might have. … And that happened

again and again because there are so many points of view in this novel. HOW DO YOU APPROACH YOUR RESEARCH? I think of writing novels as an exercise in empathy. It’s deep empathy. So what I’m trying to get at is, “What does it feel like to be this person?” … When I talk to a guy who works on a drill rig, I’m not looking for veriﬁable facts so much as, “How do you feel at the end of the day? Does your back hurt?” YET, YOU DO INCLUDE TECHNICAL DETAILS. If you work in that industry, it’s all about the equipment. The guys have a lot to say about the equipment, a lot of opinions

about the equipment, and that’s endlessly interesting to me. I love writing about machines. … There’s a section that deals with [1979’s] Three Mile Island [nuclear] accident, and I got really absorbed with learning everything I could learn about how that reactor worked.

WHAT ABOUT THE NOVEL’S MOTIF OF ADDICTION? That was a complete surprise to me. It developed as I wrote the story. It’s true that a lot of these towns that have fallen on hard times have drug problems. They also have a thriving bar culture from way back. … Recently the methamphetamine thing and the opiate thing has hit rural America very hard and this region in particular very hard, so that is a piece of the story. As I wrote, I thought a lot about [characters from] the Devlin family. Dick Devlin owns the commercial hotel, the tavern. He’s in the addictions business, you could say — he’s a coal-miner who lost his job, went into the addictions business, bought a tavern. His older son is a corrections ofﬁcer at a prison full of drug offenders. His younger son is a recovering heroin addict who’s a counselor at a methadone clinic. They’re all now in the addictions business. A generation ago, they would have been a mining family.

TOY STORIES

WHY ALL THE TMI STUFF? The fact is, Pennsylvania has always been an energy state. This goes back to the 1850s, the ﬁrst oil well being drilled in Venango County. … This has everything to do with how people in Pennsylvania have responded to the fracking opportunity or debacle, depending on which side you’re on. … [Three Mile Island is] really another example of Pennsylvania being on the forefront of energy, and reaping the beneﬁts and also being affected by the consequences.

SO PENNSYLVANIA’S AN OUTLIER? People in Boston — to a one, every person I’ve talked to here — thinks fracking is a terrible idea. It’s an environmental disaster waiting to happen; why would any community ever consent to that? When I go back home, people see it in black-andwhite terms also, but they look at it from the other side: “Well, if I have this piece of land, and I’m not doing anything with it, and someone’s going to pay me a lot of money, and I get to keep the land, why would I not do it?”

a Musical comedy, Book by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson; Music and Lyrics by Carol Hall

A woman and her young daughter face a retro 1960s “Slick Chick” pinball machine. “This is pinball, do you want to see what that is?” the mother asks. The child picks up a token and shows it to her mother, hoping to catch a glimpse of the games she enjoyed as a child. The Heinz History Center facilitates this type of interaction with its exhibit Toys of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, featuring more than 500 of the nation’s most popular playthings. The 8,000-square-foot exhibit, developed in partnership with the Minnesota Historical Society, breaks the space into “toy living rooms” that evoke each generation’s obsessions and icons. The brightly colored 1960s living room is painted a shocking pink, with zebraprint carpeting and a geometric orange-and-pink upholstered couch, modeling a Barbie Dreamhouse. Also included are spacethemed toys, indicative of the space race against the Soviet Union, and the world’s first action figure, 1964’s G.I. Joe. A Mr. Potato Head display illuminates the spud’s somewhat rotten start. George Lerner developed the toy in 1949 in hopes of keeping children from wasting food. The original kit (one of which is on display) allowed children to stick eyes, noses, ears and other features into real fruits, vegetables and, of course, potatoes. However, the foods tended to rot, so in 1964 Hasbro invented the plastic potato body. There’s also a salute to a local outfit, The Wolverine Toy Company, which originally produced kitchen implements and other household supplies but went on to produce toys that would be sold in major department stores across the U.S. Namely, it manufactured a line of sturdy, mechanical tin construction-style boys’ toys. Later it produced Sunny Suzy, a line marketed to girls, which included toy irons and ovens. Then there are those pinball machines, courtesy of the Replay Foundation, a local nonprofit that houses the world’s largest collection of vintage pinball games. Toys of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s draws not just a younger crowd, says History Center spokesman Ned Schano, but multi-generational families who can experience the displays with both nostalgia and discovery. “It’s been exactly what we had hoped for, bringing families together and hearing their stories,” says Schano. “We joked that we should have called it the ‘I Had That’ exhibit.”

FOUR PLAY

{BY GERARD STANLEY HORNBY}

{BY TED HOOVER} SOME WRITERS strive to put real life on

stage. British playwright Mike Bartlett probably uses those scripts to light his cigarettes. His aggressively-titled 2009 play Cock, now at Kinetic Theatre, is about as provocatively manufactured as they come and your enjoyment of this brisk, bitter comedy will depend largely on how willing you are to be a playwright’s plaything. At its heart, Cock is one of the oldest stories in the book. A young man, John, dumps his long-term partner to take up with a new one, and eventually the three come together to hash out loyalties and futures. Barlett’s been very clever decking out the play in such outlandish drag you might not realize how many times you’ve seen it before. For starters, the long-term partner is a man (known as “M”) and the piece on the side is a woman (“W”). Bartlett sets up this dynamic but deliberately tramples notions of sexual orientation, behavior and identity. Then, taking a few pages from the David Mamet stylebook, he ﬁlls the play with brittle elliptical dialogue spat out by a clutch of characters too intelligent for their own good. And he employs abrupt, cinematic jump-cuts, jerking the story from one confrontation to the next.

COCK continues through May 29. Kinetic Theatre at Pittsburgh Playwrights Theater, 937 Liberty Ave., Downtown. $20-40. www.kinetictheatre.org

On the whole it’s an intriguing evening of theater. Yes, you realize you’re being manipulated and yes, you can see him building, winding up and releasing his clockwork theatrical gizmo. But that he’s done it with such precision and polish provides its own reward. Like a dog-sled captain, director Andrew Paul drives the play’s quartet (M’s father also shows up) with brutal efﬁciency; this is a furious and ferocious foursome. Ethan Hova (M) turns passive aggression into a chilling blood sport. Erika Strasburg does amazing work rooting W’s feral attacks in a sick sort of kindness, and Sam Tsoutsouvas turns the father’s condescension and hidden-agenda solicitude into something silently radioactive. As John, Thomas Constantine Moore has the hardest job; Bartlett requires the actor to make ambivalence and self-protective inaction the fuel of the play. But Moore’s

STILL GIVING {BY STUART SHEPPARD} PRIME STAGE Theatre has created a new kind of experience that should be called “Intelligent Family Drama.” Its production of The Giver is just as challenging and entertaining for children as it is for adults. This isn’t “children’s theater”; it’s theater that speaks to an entire family, without condescension. The imagination and intelligence that went into this show is clearly evident, starting with Eric Coble’s 2006 adaptation of the Newbery Award-winning novel by Lois Lowry.

THE GIVER continues through Sun., May 22. Prime Stage Theatre at the New Hazlett Theater, 6 Allegheny Square East, North Side. $10-25. 724-773-0700 or www.primestage.com

Director Melissa Hill Grande doles out the action slowly, building a picture of what could be a perfect 1950s family, except for the monochromatic clothing everyone wears, similar to the conformist garb of Maoist China. Uh oh — dystopia alert! But shrewdly, Grande avoids hitting us with any didactic hammers.

Ricardo Vila-Roger plays the kind of father every kid would love to have, in an impressive, understated manner. The way he brings an orphaned baby into the household is touching, until we ﬁnd out what lies beneath his altruistic persona. Will Sendera is remarkable as his son Jonas, who at age 12 is designated the “Receiver” of memories in the Community, and carries the play’s action forward with uncommon authority. In fact, all of the child actors are excellent, and share the acting burden equally with the adults. This is a world where “it’s rude to point out differences,” and “inappropriate to use imprecise words like ‘love.’” Lines like these are slipped into mundane conversations, and we are lulled by their innocence, until their implications start to have life-and-death repercussions for Jonas and his family. Joe Spinogatti’s stunning video projections are played across of 26 panels hung on the back wall of the stage like a hip 1960s TV variety show, and become increasingly crucial to the impact of the performance, right to the ending. And what a sublime ending we are given. Astonishingly, here is a play that can enlighten kids without slam-dunk platitudes, or purple dinosaurs sermonizing in sugary language. Producing artistic director Wayne Brinda and his team pay the highest compliment to the audience by leaving the work of interpretation up to us. Imagine that! INF O @PGH C IT YPAPE R . C O M

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 05.18/05.25.2016

ONE OF Stephen Sondheim’s numbers in Assassins contains the line, “Every now and then the country goes a little wrong. Every now and then a madman’s bound to come along.” First performed in 1990, in the musical based on John Weidman’s book, the line couldn’t frame the sentiment of the piece any better. But there’s also a little something extra in director Nick Mitchell’s new production at Stage 62, as we are drawn to the normalcy of these ﬁgures from history. We are shown the hidden thoughts and footnotes of infamous assassins and attempted murderers such as Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth and John Hinckley Jr. “Attention must be paid,” the characters refrain in a nod toward Arthur Miller’s tragic Willy Loman. But these people aren’t to be gloriﬁed; far from it. Instead, we should understand that they are amongst us, “voiceless without violence,” as Mitchell writes. The performers do well in conveying this, and clearly have a good time. Stanley Graham’s Booth was enjoyable to watch, aided by an admirable Nathan Hough as the Proprietor. Elsewhere, Corwin Stoddard and Kassie Doherty, as Hinckley and Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, were remarkably unnerving in their ballad. The stage work is impressive, the players working with a grand set design, complemented by the booming live orchestra. It’s something that the Andrew Carnegie Music Hall was designed for, and it adds oomph to the production.

ASSASSINS continues through Sun., May 22. The Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall, 300 Beechwood Ave., Carnegie. $15-20. 412-429-6262 or www.stage62.org

From the off, the piece is dynamic and entertaining. The rousing opening ensemble piece ends with Booth’s gunshot and distant cries of “sic semper tyrannis,” followed by hearty musical numbers, interspersed with witty and sometimes intense soliloquies alongside fast pieces of dialogue. Finally, I’m not sure who deserves credit, the costume department or the gene pool, but some of these people were worryingly convincing in their portrayals. Wannabe Nixon-killer Samuel Byck is played by Rob James (who’s also the vice president of Stage 62), and his monologues to a tape recorder were highlights for the audience, both frightening and funny. Really, those scenes had their ﬁnger on the pulse of the play: hilariously absurd, somewhat terrifying, but fueled with real pathos. I N F O@ P G HC I T Y PA P E R. C OM

[BOOK REVIEW]

VOCAL LOCAL {BY FRED SHAW} The title poem in Ann Curran’s new collection, Knitting the Andy Warhol Bridge (Lummox Press), alludes to the 2013 “yarn-bombing” of that local span. Curran writes: “loop troopers make tight blocks of magic / … The pattern pulls like a blanket in a shared bed.” Deft similes aside, Pittsburgh locales often serve as her backdrop while speakers explore emotional and physical landscapes over 133 pages. The book strives to balance Pittsburgh’s sometimes-outdated image with its newfound national charm; Mount Washington overlooks, the Strip and an oversize rubber ducky all make appearances. A member of the Squirrel Hill Poetry Workshop, Curran is a local in the best sense of the word, utilizing a keen eye and an unwillingness to pull punches. She’s written for local publications and edited Carnegie Mellon Magazine for decades. She’s also a council member at the iconic St. Mary of the Mount, whose church is utilized here for its powerful setting. In Knitting, a religious gathering serves as an opportunity to view humanity. In “Midmorning at St. Mary of Mercy,” Curran lists attendees at the Downtown parish: “Early Mass is over. In a back pew / a disheveled woman appears passed out: / head on chest. A business dude rushes in, / lights his candle … / A scruffy guy heads out for Red Door food. / A devout fashionista strolls the aisle.” Curran’s focus lands on “a woman with thigh-sized upper arms” who “oozes fast fury … / stands, hands on hips, / like she’s giving hell to Mary and Son.” This plainspoken description casts no stones but rather highlights an eclectic congregation emphasizing inclusion. “At Fifth and Smithfield” displays more locals, flaws and all, with Curran observing, “Even old men in Depends eye up girls / with shorts so brief, they are beyond belief. / A mom falls asleep feeding her baby. / Methadone, a cop says. Helps her head home. / A drug-dealer girl insists on more cash. / The desperate buyer digs deep, finds green.” The internal rhyme here (and sometimes elsewhere) might be distracting for some, weakening the gritty reality of the image. However, the poem’s POV harkens to William Carlos Williams’ speaker in his epic Paterson, seeking to understand the world through the microcosm of one small corner. At its core, Knitting is Curran’s observant valentine to a city, and more importantly, the people whose lives make it both unique and universal.

Artist Eric Lennartson has made some Office Depot manager very happy. Stretching more than 10 miles of packing tape over steel frames, Lennartson has yet again designed a maze of translucent, kid-sized tunnels, dubbed TapeScape 2.0, for visitors to explore at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. After a successful run at the Children’s Museum in 2013, this second iteration of the two-story, surprisingly un-sticky structure (Lennartson double-sides the tape) returned this past winter and closes this weekend. Be sure to bring socks. Tyler Dague 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Exhibit continues through Sun., May 22. 10 Children’s Way, North Side. $13-14 (children under 2 are free). 412-322-5058 or www.pittsburghkids.org

{PHOTO COURTESY OF UNCUMBER THEATRICS}

sp otlight Uncumber Theatrics — known for smart interactive and immersive shows like Her Things and Professor Eldritch’s Asylum for Uncanny and Extraordinary Women — takes its latest production into the real world, after a fashion. Serpentine is an alternatereality game styled after film noir and inspired by an actual Pittsburgh cold case from 1921. But the setting is contemporary: At their appointed hours, ticketholders enter a private eye’s office (whose location you learn upon buying your ticket) and get 45 minutes to snoop, gathering clues. Then, with information gleaned from a city map, gamers head to designated locations — mostly in the East End and Downtown — to find more clues or to track down other characters who’ll further develop this choose-your-own-adventure work. The show’s femmes fatale and underworld informants, lurking in bars or public spaces, might even ask participants to pass messages to other characters. But in any case, after their initial appointments, gamers proceed at their leisure, over the course of up to four weeks. “Once you enter the game, you are as much in it as you want ’till the end,” says Uncumber’s Ayne Terceira, who devised Serpentine with Aaron Tarnow. “The game keeps on evolving ’till you reach a conclusion, which is in June.” Serpentine offers about 75 initial time slots, a few of which are already sold out. Bill O’Driscoll Thu., May 19-June 11. $35 (21 and over). www.uncumbertheatrics.com

*Stuff We Like SUMMER EDITION

Gardening It’s time to plant those seedlings, so you can enjoy a bountiful harvest come summer and fall. Nothing says “local” like food grown in your backyard.

We Were Liars E. Lockhart’s 2014 novel relates a summer family holiday gone very wrong. For starters, the teenage narrator has amnesia. A pageturner, and a reminder that your vacation could be worse.

Out-of-Season Beer A winter lager tastes fine in warm weather, and even more so when marked down to 66 cents a can.

Washington Wild Things Minor-league baseball means intimate ballparks, reasonable ticket prices, the carnival-like atmosphere and players who are playing because they love the game, not because they’re making a trillion dollars. Season opens May 20. www.washingtonwildthings.com

EVERYONE IS A CRITIC EVENT: Welcome to Here: A Sensory Friendly Adventure, at Bricolage for the EQT Children’s Theater Festival, Downtown CRITIC: Ken Baker, 38, a sports-mediarelations specialist from Cranberry Township WHEN: Fri.,

May 13

It was an all-enveloping sensory adventure, at your own pace and explore-at-your-own-will. I’ve got to say, I was a little apprehensive at first. I thought it might have been a little too touchy-feely and artsy for me, but seeing how much [my daughter] enjoyed it and how much she got into it, it made me a little more comfortable and made me enjoy it as well. I thought they did a wonderful job; [the character] Don Key was her favorite. He really got into it. And at the end, with Queen Orya, with the way that she let you out [of the experience], it was all really well done. How the characters got into their roles and how they directed it more to the kids was the most important to me. She bought into it, and as a parent, that made it fun for me. BY TYLER DAGUE

Savage Love {BY DAN SAVAGE}

Over the years, I have consumed what I believe to be an average amount of porn for a 44-year-old hetero guy. I have never paid for it, and I am now facing a troubled conscience for that fact. I could obviously just subscribe to some site or other now, but that would benefit only one company and/or set of performers. Is there a Dan Savage–approved charity relating to the adult film industry to which I could donate? SEEKS PENANCE AND NEEDS KNOWLEDGE

“Porn performers almost never get royalties for their scenes when they work for big studios,” said Conner Habib, a writer, activist and porn performer. “If you buy into the trickle-down theory of things, then more money for the studio should mean more money for the performers. If you don’t buy into that — and not everyone does — there are other options.” To get your money directly to the performers whose work you’re currently enjoying/stealing, SPANK, you can patronize smaller studios run by performers, book time with independent webcam models, and purchase porn created by performers on sites like Clips4Sale.com. To atone for your years of freeloading, SPANK, you can and should make large donations to two organizations. “The Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC) (apac-usa.com) is the largest performer-based organization in the world, and its membership is made up entirely of performers,” said Habib. “Full disclosure: I’m the vice president, but no donation money goes to me or any board member. It all goes to the organization, which works to improve the working conditions, quality of life, and safety of performers, as well as to fight anti-porn laws and stigma.” Habib also recommended donating money to the Sex Workers Outreach Project (swopusa.org). “This isn’t a porn-specific organization,” said Habib, “but it works to protect and fight for the rights of all sex workers. Since many performers are doing other forms of sex work, donations go a long way to help porn performers.” You can — and you should — follow Habib on Twitter @ConnerHabib.

“Dad! It creeps me out when you make comments about women you wanna fuck. I realize you’re a sexual person, and I honor that, and blah de blah blah blah. But these are thoughts you share with friends, Dad, not with your adult children. There’s no need to go into your ohso-sorry routine, Dad, we just need to change the subject.” My husband and I have been married for 16 years. We have been polyamorous for the last five years. We are a bit mismatched sexually in many ways. Polyamory was our solution. For much of this time, my husband had a girlfriend. Before I go on, let me say that I adore my husband in all ways except sex. We are raising a child together and are a good fit otherwise. I no longer have any desire to have sex with my husband. Lots of men and women write in to complain about their partner’s low libido. This is not the case. My libido is fine. I just don’t want to have sex with my husband. Whenever we would have sex in the past, I would get anxious and try to avoid it. We each have our issues. Being a poly woman dating in my 40s has been incredibly empowering and sexy. But my husband’s experiences have been different. He is frustrated because it is hard for him to meet women, and his frustration is made worse by the fact that I don’t want sex with him either. When he had a girlfriend, our sex life wasn’t as much of an issue. What should I do? He’s unhappy. I’m frustrated. Neither of us wants to divorce. Should I force myself?

“DAD, WE JUST NEED TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.”

I didn’t talk to my nearly-70-year-old dad for most of my 20s. Now that I’m back trying to maintain relationships with my parents, I am struggling. My dad is the king of the overshare. He makes creepy comments about women who are about 30 to 40 years younger than him — including women who were kids when he met them but are now grown-ups. Not something I want to hear. I don’t think he is abusing anyone, just being creepy. He makes about one creepy comment per phone conversation. If he were a person at work, I would be able to stand up for myself and say, “That is not appropriate.” But when he says creepy stuff, Dan, I’m a deer in the headlights. I go silent, it’s awkward, and I keep hoping he’ll understand how weird he’s being. I would say something, but bringing up things that anger me causes him to act overly sorry, and that routine is annoying too. Any suggestions on what to say? SEEKING HELP REGARDING UNPLEASANT GUY

LADY IN BALTIMORE ISN’T DESIRING OBLIGATORY SEX

It is a truth universally acknowledged — in the poly universe anyway — that a married poly woman will have an easier time finding sex partners than a married poly man. Some men in open/poly relationships present themselves as dishonest cheaters rather than honest nonmonogamists because women would rather fuck a married man who’s cheating on his wife than a married man who isn’t cheating on his wife. Go figure. Anyway, the answer to your question — should you force yourself to fuck your husband? — depends on your answer to this question: How badly do you want to avoid divorce? Because your refusal to fuck him could wind up incentivizing divorce. So to save your marriage you might wanna fuck your husband once in a while. Forcing yourself to fuck someone is tiresome and dispiriting, I realize, but you can always close your eyes and think about someone you’d rather be fucking. And since you’re off the hook when your husband has a girlfriend, you might wanna do everything you can to help him find a new one. Help him craft messages to women he contacts online, go to play parties and poly mixers with him, and vouch for him to women he’s interested in.

Free Will Astrology

FOR THE WEEK OF

05.18-05.25

{BY ROB BREZSNY}

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The short attention span is now enshrined as the default mode of awareness. “We skim rather than absorb,” says author James Lough. “We read Sappho or Shakespeare the same way we glance over a tweet or a text message, scanning for the gist, impatient to move on.” There’s a problem with that approach, however. “You can’t skim Shakespeare,” says Lough. I propose that we make that your epigram to live by in the coming weeks, Taurus: You can’t skim Shakespeare. According to my analysis, you’re going to be offered a rich array of Shakespeare-level information and insights. To get the most out of these blessings, you must penetrate and marinate and ruminate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “There are situations in life when it is wisdom not to be too wise,” said Friedrich Schiller. The coming days may be one of those times for you. I therefore advise you to dodge any tendency you might have to be impressed with your sophisticated intelligence. Be suspicious of egotism masquerading as cleverness. You are most likely to make good decisions if you insist on honoring your raw instincts. Simple solutions and uncomplicated actions will give you access to beautiful truths and truthful beauty, especially if you anchor yourself in innocent compassion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): To prepare you for the coming weeks, I have gathered three quotes from the Bulgarian writer Elias Canetti. These gems, along with my commentary, will serve you well if you use them as seeds for your ongoing meditations. Seed No. 1: “He would like to start from scratch. Where is scratch?” Here’s my addendum: No later than your birthday, you’ll be ready to start from

scratch. In the meantime, your task is to find out where scratch is, and clear a path to it. Seed No. 2: “All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.” My addendum: Monitor your dreams closely. They will offer clues about what you need to remember. Seed No. 3: “Relearn astonishment, stop grasping for knowledge, lose the habit of the past.” My addendum: Go in search of the miraculous.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “There are friendships like circuses, waterfalls, libraries,” said writer Vladimir Nabokov. I hope you have at least one of each, Leo. And if you don’t, I encourage you to go out and look for some. It would be great if you could also get access to alliances that resemble dancing lessons, colorful sanctuaries, lion whisperers, prayer flags and the northern lights. Right now you especially need the stimulation that synergistic collaborations can provide. The next chapter of your life story requires abundant contact with interesting people who have the power to surprise you and teach you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

“Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible,” says author Rebecca Solnit. She is of course implying that it might be better not to beat the possible, but rather to protect and nurture the possible as a viable option — especially if perfection ultimately proves to have no value other than as a stick. This is always a truth worth honoring, but it will be crucial for you in the weeks to come. I hope you will cultivate a reverence and devotion to the possible. As messy or maddening as it might be, it will also groom your powers as a maker.

Fifth-century Christian theologian St. Jerome wrote that “it requires infinite discretion to look for gold in the midst of dirt.” Ancient Roman poet Virgil on one occasion testified that he was “searching for gold in dung.” While addressing the angels, 19th-century French poet Charles Baudelaire bragged, “From each thing I extracted its quintessence. You gave me your mud, and I made gold out of it.” From what I can tell, Caprciorn, you have been engaged in similar work lately. The climax of your toil should come in the next two weeks. (Thanks to Michael Gilleland for the inspiration: tinyurl.com/ mudgold.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An invigorating challenge is headed your way. To prepare you, I offer the wisdom of French author André Gide. “Through loyalty to the past,” he wrote, “our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow’s joy is possible only if today’s joy makes way for it.” What this means, Libra, is that you will probably have to surrender your attachment to a well-honed delight if you want to make yourself available for a bright new delight that’s hovering on the frontier. An educational blessing will come your way if and only you clear space for its arrival. As Gide concludes, “Each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding wave.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

yin yoga prenatal yoga mommy & me yoga for kids

“How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Henry David Thoreau wrote that, and now I’m passing it on to you just in time for a special phase of your long-term cycle. During this upcoming interlude, your main duty is to FEED YOUR SOUL in every way you can imagine. So please stuff it with unpredictable beauty and reverent emotions. Cram it with mysterious adventures and rambling treks in the frontier. Gorge it with intimate unpredictability and playful love and fierce devotions in behalf of your most crucial dreams. Warning: You will not be able to rely solely on the soul food that has sustained you in the past. Be eager to discover new forms of nourishment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Here’s how every love letter can be summarized,” says Russell Dillon in his poem “PastPerfect-Impersonal”: “What is it you’re unable to surrender and please may I have that?” I bring this tease to your attention because it may serve as a helpful riddle in the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase when you will have an enhanced ability to tinker with and refine and even revolutionize your best intimate relationships. I’m hoping Dillon’s provocation will unleash a series of inquiries that will inspire you as you imagine how you could supercharge togetherness and reinvent the ways you collaborate.

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 05.18/05.25.2016

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “At this time in my life,” says singer Joni Mitchell, “I’ve confronted a lot of my devils. A lot of them were pretty silly, but they were incredibly real at the time.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Aquarius, you are due to enjoy a similar grace period. It may be a humbling grace period, because you’ll be invited to decisively banish worn-out delusions that have filled you with needless fear. And it may be a grace period that requires you to make strenuous adjustments, since you’ll have to revise some of your old stories about who you are and how you got here. But it will also be a sweet grace period, because you’ll be blessed again and again with a visceral sense of liberation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): More than halfway through her prose poem “A Settlement,” Mary Oliver abruptly stops her meandering meditation on the poignant joys of spring’s soft awakening. Suddenly she’s brave and forceful: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.” Now would be a perfect moment to draw inspiration from her, Pisces. I dare you to say it. I dare you to mean it. Speak these words: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “An oar moves a boat by entering what lies outside it,” writes poet Jane Hirshfield. You can’t use the paddle inside the boat! It’s of no value to you unless you thrust it into the drink and move it around vigorously. And that’s an excellent metaphor for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, my friend. If you want to reach your next destination, you must have intimate and continual interaction with the mysterious depths that lie outside your known world. What’s the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why can’t you? Go to Relastrology.com and click “Email Rob.”

COMIC-BOOK HERO {BY CHARLIE DEITCH}

WHEN THE PHILADELPHIA Comicon opens in a couple weeks, it will feature actors portraying Captain America, Thor, Falcon, Winter Soldier and other actors who play characters in the Marvel Universe. There will also be tons of other actors from television and ﬁlm. If you want to know what actual comics content the convention will offer, you’ve got to scroll way down to the bottom of the page. In the past several years, comicons have turned more toward big-name and iconic celebrity guests than han toward the actual comics and the artists and writers who make them. Dimension Comics and its six Todd McDevitt, who owns New D region, is hoping to change all of that locations across the Pittsburgh region Comicon. May 20 and 21 with the 3 Rivers Com “There are other shows around here that focus on celebrity McDevitt says. “But when guests and they’re great. Fans love them,” the small number of comics vendors.

called Dark Dawn Stout, featuring a label drawn by Joseph Michael Linser, the creator of the comic “Dawn.” “The beer-release party on Saturday should be a great event,” McDevitt says. “You’ll get a sample of the beer, a bottle of your own to take home, admission for both days of the event and all of the other giveaways.” “I’m a fan of beer and I thought this would be a great way to celebrate the comicon,” says McDevitt. Part of the batch was aged in a barrel from Wigle Whiskey and added to the main batch for a distinct ﬂavor. “This beer will taste better as it ages. I’m really excited about it.” McDevitt is no stranger to working with things that sell better with age. He started collecting comics as a kid, although he quickly found he was more interested in the business side than in collecting for the thrill of reading comics. McDevitt and a friend began selling their own books to friends, and through the mail, while in high school. In June 1986, while a junior in high school, McDevitt opened his ﬁrst New

After college, McDevitt opened another store in Cranberry Township, and from there expanded. For his part, artist DJ Coffman says a convention focused on comics is long overdue, and he isn’t surprised that McDevitt is the one to start it. Coffman also says it’s important to know where your favorite television shows and movies actually got their start.

“Nobody treats creators better than Todd and the New Dimension comics crew, so I’m not surprised that Todd’s real mission is to focus on comics ﬁrst,” says Coffman. “While I enjoy the trafﬁc big stars can bring, it’s often too expensive for the common fan. It’s important to educate the public that you wouldn’t have Walking Dead or Preacher television shows or Avengers and Batman without the comics. Comic creators are really driving media and culture now, but often not focused on at mainstream conventions. “My girlfriend actually summed it best when she said, ‘Comics are enough.’” C D E I T C H@ P G H C I T Y PA P E R.
