Where Will Foxconn’s Workers Come From? !"#$%&'()*'+,-,,,'.)%/0*1.02)%'3)*4"*/' $**25"/'$#2&'6$7)*'/8)*0$9" ::BY DAN SHAW

hen state officials held a construction resource fair in Racine, Wis., in late March to recruit workers for Foxconn Technology Group’s $10 billion manufacturing plant, only about 250 people showed up. It was a somewhat inauspicious beginning to a recruitment campaign that will ultimately have to find as many as 10,000 people for a job that’s well on its way to becoming the biggest construction project in state history.

Granted, not all those workers will be needed immediately. State officials have said they expect the construction of Foxconn’s 1,000acre manufacturing campus to take between four and six years. That means there will be time to bring new recruits up to speed. Still, the relatively low turnout for the state’s construction resource fair is not the only sign that recruitment for the Foxconn project will be difficult.

Like many sorts of businesses, construction companies in Wisconsin have for years felt the pinch of a protracted labor shortage. Wisconsin’s construction-unemployment rate hit a record low for the month of November when it fell to 5.7% that month last year. Though seasonal layoffs have caused that number to climb, there are other signs that hiring remains difficult for Wisconsin contractors. In an employment report from April, the Associated General Contractors of America trades group sounded a familiar note, warning once again that the two biggest threats to growth in the industry were President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on steel and aluminum and “a lack of available, qualified workers.”

Attracting the Next Generation of Skilled Workers

Trades groups have also been pitching in. <(.29%=>?%('%*+#%@$*#)$2*;($29%A$;($%('%B/#)2*;$:%!$8 gineers, for instance, held an “Externship Day” for about 360 high school students on Wednesday, April 18, at its *)2;$;$:%.#$*#)%;$%C(9(72D2&(4*%EF%7;9#3%3(4*+%('%G*#8 vens Point, Wis.

Some might question if students still in high school can really be expected to be part of the future construction crews that will help build the Foxconn project. But Mc8 Gowan said newcomers to the trades can be made ready to take on certain tasks with a fairly minimum amount of training. For some types of work like material haul8 ing, two or three weeks are enough. “We start them slow, introduce them to safety, put them on equipment so they don’t hurt it or, God forbid, anyone around them,” Mc8 Gowan said.

Even as McGowan and others work to bring Wiscon8 sinites into the industry, they are quick to point out that the Foxconn factory will be a draw for skilled workers with years of experience. McGowan said he thinks the project’s schedule is aggressive enough that people who choose to will be able to work 12 hours a day, six days a week. “That’s their living,” McGowan said. “It’s years of work for them to get to this point. So there are a lot of guys who want to be on that project.”

Yet, even as Wisconsin construction groups try to stir up interest in the trades inside the state, others acknowl8 edge that it won’t be possible to get the job done without bringing in workers from other places. Wisconsin’s con8 struction industry employed slightly more than 120,000 workers in March. That’s not a huge pool to draw from 1+#$%*+(432$53%7;:+*%&#%$##5#5%'()%2%3;$:9#%/)(0#.*6%#38 pecially when many workers are already engaged on other projects. And with the state’s unemployment rate for all industries at a historic low of 2.9% as of March, there are likely to be few opportunities to poach people from other industries.

Should We Follow North Dakota’s Example?

Let’s start with the Democrats. With 10 Democrats now eager to take on Walker dur9 ing what looks like a Blue Wave election year, it’s been difficult for any individual candidate

Walker could lead to another barrage of the notso-subtle racist attacks Walker employed previ9 ously to set the rest of the state against the city.

Hatred Against the Big City

There’s a reason it’s difficult for any Milwau9 kee mayor to be elected governor. The common misperception around the state is that Milwaukee :&*'!0+6!*##!",)/!4,31%3:!4#.!%*'!,.8+3!(.#89 lems. That’s absurd, but Republicans use it to cut desperately needed state assistance even more.

Serious Trouble for the GOP

Sure, that’s a problem for Democrats. But Walker himself knows he could be in serious trouble whoever the Democrats nominate. We know it, too, because Walker’s telling Republi9 cans all over the state he’s in serious trouble. It may not just be a fundraising ploy. Democratic victories in Wisconsin elections and around the country suggest he’s right.

Point Burger Bar

New This Month in Milwaukee Area Dining ::BY LACEY MUSZYNSKI

This month’s new restaurants include Southern food and New York-style pizza in Bay View, long-awaited sushi in Wauwatosa, and a couple of new options for lovers of Mexican food.

2Mesa

The chef and owner of Il Mito Trattoria e Enoteca in Wauwatosa and Zesti in Hartland has opened a Mexican restaurant in the Martin Drive neighborhood near the Miller Brewery and Harley-Davidson headquarters. 2Mesa has a modern Mexican menu that spans breakfast to dinner. Jalisco-style steak salad ($10.95), available at lunch, includes grilled steak, chorizo potatoes, pinto beans and panela cheese on mixed greens. Tacos are served with rice, beans and mixed greens and include braised lamb ($11.95) with mint pico de gallo. Mexican-style chicken schnitzel ($15.95) combines German and Mexican heritage with a creamy lime and serrano sauce, rice, beans and wilted spinach.

4110 W. Martin Drive • 414-808-1594 • facebook.com/2mesa • $$

Fish Cheeks

A sushi-and-seafood restaurant has finally opened in Wauwatosa after being proposed almost five years ago. Fish Cheeks’ owners John and Lori Steiner previously ran a sushi restaurant in Oconomowoc until 2007 and ran into a number of hurdles with this project. Sushi rolls are the focus of the menu, ranging from simple vegetarian rolls to specialty rolls like the lobster roll ($18). Appetizers like pork gyoza ($7) and seafood entrées like black cod with miso ($22) join beef tenderloin, chicken, shrimp and scallop hibachi dinners ($18-$26, prepared in the kitchen) on the dinner menu.

Cocina 1022

A Mexican restaurant has opened in the former Chez Jacques building in Walker’s Point. Cocina 1022 is owned by the current operators of Jalisco on North Avenue—Kevin Lopez and his mother, Judith Figueroa. The menu includes Mexican staples, like various tortas ($7-$8) at lunch, tacos ($2.50-$3) with fillings like pork al pastor, shrimp with garlic and tequila, and lengua. At dinner, the molcajete ($15$27) with various meats and vegetables is a centerpiece, along with a richly colored chicken mole ($13). Side choices go beyond rice and refried beans, including frijoles charros, papas con chorizo and esquite, a creamy corn street food.

Belli’s Bistro + Spirits

A restaurant serving Southern-inspired dishes has opened in the former Pastiche space in Bay View. Belli’s relies partially on family recipes of the owner, Charmice Dodson, who previously ran a catering business. The menu includes appetizers like whole chicken wings ($10) in one of five flavors and loaded fries ($9-$14) with cheese, bacon and sour cream. Shrimp and grits ($14) are topped with poblano cream sauce, and blackened or fried catfish ($14) is served with sides like macaroni and cheese, roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Weekly steak and seafood specials are also offered.

Pizza Di Famiglia

A New York-style pizza spot has moved into a former Jimmy Johns in Bay View. Pizza Di Famiglia is owned by Besart Bajrami who is originally from Brooklyn, N.Y. The shop serves pizza by the slice as well as whole pies, salads and calzones for takeout or dining in. Pizzas come in 14- and 18-inch sizes.

Grandma’s ($16.49-$20.49) is based on a family recipe and includes multiple cheeses, basil, garlic and tomato sauce. Chicken bacon ranch ($15.99-$19.99) and macaroni and cheese ($12.49-$15.99) are less traditional options. Stromboli ($9.49) are 15 inches long and include one topping—or add more for a few more bucks.

Point Burger Bar

A family burger restaurant and bar has opened in New Berlin in the former Quaker State & Lube building. This is the fourth area location for Point Burger Bar, which originally opened in 2015 on the Northwest side of Milwaukee. The menu is centered on an extensive build-your-own burger selection, including lamb ($12.95+) and bison ($14.95+) in addition to the traditional beef patty. Sandwiches, wraps, appetizers and salads complete the menu.

4900 S. Moorland Road • 414-255-2265 • pointburgerbarnewberlin.com • $$ Closings This month’s closings list is thankfully much shorter than March’s. The Fox Den, a neighborhood bar and grill in Mequon, has closed, and Boone + Crockett has closed their Kinnickinnic Avenue location, but don’t worry, because they’ll be back in a bigger location in Walker’s Point soon!

When Rachel Vandermause, pit master of Iron Grate BBQ, heads out to eat, she doesn’t go too far from the smokers she has to keep an eye on starting very early in the morning. When the mood for Mexican food strikes, she heads to Taqueria Arandas, her go-to neighborhood taco joint.

“The avocado green salsa is the secret weapon in the Arandas arsenal,” she says. After a seven-month trip traveling around India, she heads to Bombay Sweets when the craving strikes. “Their burfi, a dense milk-based confection, transports me back to the energy-filled streets of India. The mango, pistachio and carrot burfi are supreme.”

Avenue Coffeehouse !"#$%&'($")**+,+'-" to the South Shore ::BY SHEILA JULSON

Walking into Avenue Coffeehouse (911 Milwaukee Ave., South Milwaukee) is like visiting the home of that cool artist friend or relative. The main seating area is a warm, stylish mix of mid-century modern furniture, fun baubles and artwork. Chalkboards above an intimate serving counter display the array of coffee drinks available, and the friendly staff answers any questions about the items.

Avenue Coffeehouse serves Anodyne coffee, Rishi tea and bakery from Troubadour (Colectivo’s baking division). In addition to straight-up coffee, espresso, lattes, mocha or cold drinks, customers can choose from a specialty drinks board. We had the vanilla bee latte—which has a soothing blend of vanilla, honey and cinnamon—and the butter coffee, which has a slight hint of buttery richness. Other specialty choices included peanut butter cup latte, coconut mocha, hazelnut mocha and the lavender latte (the latter the drink of the month for April).

Soothing jazz music played in the background during our visit, and there are books and board games to keep you occupied. There’s a small meeting space at the back of the coffeehouse, and summer will bring outdoor sidewalk seating.

Lein said she’s always loved animals and made the transition from a hospital lab techni? cian for Aurora to farming when she moved from Milwaukee to Burlington. Her sons, Matt and Jay, brought home a couple of chickens, and they made a nice little house for them. Lein’s neighbors remarked that the fowl had such a fine coop that they were “yuppie chickens.” “I never thought it would turn into a viable business,” Lein said. She began selling her girls’ eggs at the South Shore Farmers Market. Beans & Barley was her first store and restaurant account, and the partnership still continues.

They do everything that they would do outside, but they’re protected.”

The girls get a quality vegetarian feed with no animal byproducts.

Yuppie Hill Poultry also has broiler meat chickens and turkeys.

1%&'()$234.#/ ::BY STEVE SPICE

olfgang Amadeus Mozart was remarkably prolific in 1791, the final year of his life. His notable output included the final piano concerto, the last series of string quintets, the tragically unfinished Requiem and a hauntingly romantic fable, The Magic Flute, completed only three months before his death. This final opera, so much beloved, is a haunting metaphysical enigma whose rich subtext never detracts from its elusive charm. Emanuel Schikaneder wrote the German libretto. He was a friend who shared Mozart’s masonic inclinations and sang the principal role of Papageno at the premiere.

The intellectual currents of 18th-century Europe are depicted in The Magic Flute’s metaphysical subtext. The Queen of the Night embodies all that is dark and medieval and seeks to rescue her daughter from Sarastro, who represents the emerging Enlightenment and is closely aligned with masonic ideals. She implores the aid of Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter from the clutches of Sarastro, but he falls in love in his quest—aided by three child spirits who guide him on his way with a magic flute, which magically turns everything to light and happiness.

16 | A P R I L 2 6 , 2 0 1 8

Sarastro embodies a new world of wisdom, truth and brotherhood. But the young people must endure three trials before being admitted to Sarastro’s temple of wisdom.

Tamino’s friend, Papageno, disguised as a bird, fails the test, but consoles himself with Papagena, who is as foolish as he is in one of Mozart’s most amusing comic episodes. The masonic aspects of the score only add to the mysterious charm of the proceedings, which invoke Isis and Osiris, mystic tokens of Eastern spiritualism. Sarastro emphasizes the self-discipline necessary for perfect virtue. The melodic beauty of the introduction to the final act gives the opera an unexpected sense of the serenity of perfect spiritual harmony.

The subtleties of Mozart’s magical opera do not inhibit the sheer pleasure of the musical experience. The Magic Flute stands on its own as a beautiful romantic love story. William Florescu, general director of the Florentine Opera, will direct the upcoming Milwaukee production. Mozart remains paramount among his musical preferences.

Florentine’s ‘Colorful and Picturesque’ Production

“This production reprises our 2009 production and remains colorful and picturesque in keeping with the spirit of Mozart’s sublime work,” Florescu says. “The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute are among the most-performed operas in the world, and if few operas—including those of Mozart—quite match the audience appeal of Magic Flute, we hope to give a new original slant.”

He points out that this production will have its own originality. “The Magic Flute is such a richly imaginative work that even children who don’t even care for opera can enjoy it,” Florescu says. “We use special effects including film devices to enhance the dragon, the magic bells, the child spirits and the chorus which accompanies the action. Mozart’s concept is impervious to indifferent tampering and remains all of a piece regardless of directorial changes.” Those who recall Florescu’s staging of The Florentine Barber of Seville have no doubts Opera that The Magic Flute will provide an equally enchanting evening.

The Magic The production will be perFlute formed in English, making it acUihlein Hall cessible to audiences of all ages.

May 11 & 13 The difficult role of the Queen of the Night will be sung by Argentinian soprano Laura Pisani in her Florentine debut. Two Florentine favorites—tenor Noah Stewart and soprano Jamie-Rose Guarrine—will sing the roles of Tamino and Pamina, respectively. Three local high school singers from the Florentine’s 2017 Young Singing Actor Intensive program will perform as the three child spirits. Finally, baritone Will Liverman plays Papageno and will doubtlessly earn a few laughs as he encounters his stuttering Papagena (Rachel Blaustein)—proving once again that, in matters of love, there is someone for everyone.

The Magic Flute will be performed May 11 and 13 in the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts’ Uihlein Hall, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, visit florentineopera.org or call 414-291-5700.

Mark Farina

FRIDAY, APRIL 27 THURSDAY, APRIL 26 Arte Para Todos @ multiple venues

Arte Para Todos calls itself “Milwaukee’s largest local music event,” and it has the numbers to back that claim up. At this year’s four-day event dozens of bands will perform at nearly 30 venues spread across five neighborhoods, and once again proceeds will benefit arts programs at Milwaukee Public Schools. In its first three years, the event has already raised roughly $60,000 for that cause. Highlights this year include Hello Death and adoptahighway at the Var Gallery as part of Thursday night’s Walker’s Point lineup, which also features Zed Kenzo and Siren at Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. and Dramatic Lovers and Cairns at Gibraltar, as well as De La Buena and Strangelander at Boone & Crockett’s new location at 818 S. Water St. On Friday the event heads to Bay View with shows at Urban, Frank’s Power Plant, Tonic, Puddler’s Hall, Cactus Club and Club Garibaldi, with performers including Klassik, Immortal Girlfriend, Sundial Mottos, Mortgage Freeman, Von Alexander, Vinz Clortho, Space Raft and Bo & Airo. Saturday features a full day of music at venues across Riverwest and Harambee, including interesting bills at the Jazz Gallery, Linneman’s Riverwest Inn, Circle A, High Dive and the Riverwest Public House. And on Sunday the East Side gets some love, with shows at the Jazz Estate, the Back Room at Colectivo and Good City Brewing, as well as an open jam at the Urban Ecology Center from 2-4 p.m. For the complete lineup and tickets, visit arteparatodos.me.

Steve Hofstetter @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

Baseball fans, especially ones with a sense of humor about the game, are probably familiar with comedian-author-columnist Steve Hofstetter for his regular appearances on the MLB Network’s “MLB Now” and as the host of FS1’s “Finding Babe Ruth.” He’s also written for Sports Illustrated and ESPN and hosted a show for Sirius radio. Sports aren’t the only subject of Hofstetter’s standup act, though. A former writer for collegehumor.com, he’s released six albums of material that touch on pop culture and politics as well. This year he released a young adult book called Ginger Kid: Mostly True Tales from a Former Nerd, a memoir about his formative years and the humiliations of middle school.

Mark Farina w/ Annatomic + Surge @ Site 1A, 9 p.m.

One of the true pioneers of house music, DJ Mark Farina got his start in Chicago, where he held a long residency at Smart Bar and laid the groundwork for a new style of dance music dubbed “mushroom jazz,” a cool fusion of acid jazz, downtempo and Chicago house. In the early ’90s, he moved to San Francisco, where he helped lay the seeds for the Bay Area’s modern downtempo scene. Unlike many of the electronic innovators of his era, Farina hasn’t slowed down in recent decades. In 2016, he released the eighth installment of his Mushroom Jazz compilation series, and he continues to run the esteemed record label Great Lakes Audio Recordings.

Jefferson Starship @ Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, 8 p.m.

It was Homer Simpson who most memorably explained the progression of classic rock in the ’70s: “Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship,” he explained. “The stage was now set for the Alan Parsons Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.” Not all of that is accurate, but Homer was right about the part about Jefferson Starship, which spun off of the legendary psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane in the early ‘70s and took their sound in ever-proggier directions. In 2016, the group lost founding member Paul Kantner, who died following a heart attack, leaving singer-guitarist David Freiberg its sole remaining original member and the lone carryover from the Jefferson Airplane days.

SATURDAY, APRIL 28 Jeff Rosenstock w/ Martha & Bad Moves, 7:30 p.m.

Over his 10 years as the leader of the shape-shifting New York ska-punk-indie collective Bomb the Music Industry!, Jeff Rosenstock played enough basement venues to last a lifetime. After a lengthy farewell tour, that band called it quits in 2014, but Rosenstock’s best work was still ahead of him. Over the last four years he’s released a trio of knockout solo albums, including 2016’s Worry. and this year’s POST-, that play like mini rock operas, bounding from style to style without ever losing the punk energy that made Rosenstock such a hero of the scene. POST- in particular may be the sharpest, hookiest and most purely entertaining record of his career.

Masters of Soul @ Marcus Center, 7:30 p.m.

It takes a big ensemble to do justice to the music of Motown, and the program Masters of Soul has assembled one, including three male vocalists, three female vocalists and a four-piece band that’d been playing together for decades and has shared stages with some of the greats that they’ve covered. The show includes tributes to The Supremes, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

YFN Lucci w/ Munch Lauren @ Turner Hall Ballroom, 8 p.m.

After slowly building a local following in Atlanta, YFN Lucci found a national audience for his style of woozy, anthemic rap following the success of his 2016 single “Key to the Streets.” Last year he followed it up with his biggest hit yet, the euphoric “Everyday We Lit,” which paved the way for his debut studio album, Ray Ray From Summerhill, which he released in March. Opening for him on this show is Milwaukee street rapper Munch Lauren, who’s built up a huge following online over the last couple of years.

Bon Jovi w/ Stereo Satellite @ BMO Harris Bradley Center, 7:30 p.m.

So this is farewell, old friend. After 30 years of loyal service to the city, the BMO Harris Bradley Center is targeted for demolition as the city makes way for its new arena. But first the venue will host this final concert from one of its earliest headliners, Bon Jovi, perhaps the most enduringly popular of all the ‘80s hair bands. The band has flirted with new directions over the years, going acoustic for 2003’s This Left Feels Right and going country—with great commercial results—for their 2007 Nashville record Lost Highway, but on recent albums they’ve returned to the forceful stadium rock that made them stars. In 2013 they released their 13th and most recent album, This House is Not for Sale, their first album without lead guitarist Richie Sambora, who left the group on good terms in 2014.

Kid Koala: The Vinyl Vaudeville Show @ Turner Hall Ballroom, 8 p.m.

Between his acclaimed solo albums for Ninja Tune and his collaborations with Dan the Automator in projects like Deltron 3030 and Lovage, Kid Koala is one of the most prestigious turntablists in the history of the form. He’s got a sense of humor about his craft, though. For his annual Vinyl Vaudeville tour, Koala curates an incredibly silly spectacle filled with dancers and puppets. This one promises giant spiders, giant penguins, singing robots, a horn section of ants and a giant paper airplane fight. DJ Jester and Adira Amram and the Experience are also on the bill.

Unwed Sailor

MONDAY, APRIL 30

!

Unwed Sailor w/ Early Day Miners and Asumaya @ Cactus Club, 9 p.m.

The Seattle instrumental-rock band Unwed Sailor is captained by Johnathon Ford, a veteran musician with the ability to convey tricky emotional sentiments through instrumental nuance. Recording and touring with a rotating cast of collaborators (including members of Early Day Miners, Fleet Foxes and Pedro the Lion), Ford has released 10 albums and EPs since the band’s conception in 1998, each with its own distinct themes and instrumental motifs. Though Unwed Sailor’s music can vary greatly from album to album, soothing backdrops, ambient moods and strung-out melodies run throughout most of their releases. The band will share this show with similarly underrated indie veterans Early Day Miners, whose latest lineup includes longtime principle Daniel Burton, drummer Marty Sprowles and Ford from Unwed Sailor on bass. Cover is only $8.

THEATRE

Wait Until Dark

In Frederick Knott’s deadly cat-and-mouse-game thriller Wait Until Dark, a sinister conman and his cohorts in crime search for a valuable doll. Having finally traced its location to a Greenwich Village apartment, they set about a way to con the woman of the house, Susy Hendrix, who’s blind and alone, into surrendering the mysterious toy.

Wait Until Dark was first performed (on Broadway) in 1966 with Lee Remick starring as Susy. It has been revived frequently and performed all over the world by hundreds of theater companies in the ensuing decades. It certainly caught Hollywood’s attention quickly enough: It was made into a feature film in 1967, the same year the play was published. As a film, it achieved even wider attention and acclaim. It was directed by Terence Young, produced by Mel Ferrer, and it starred Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. Hepburn was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award and Zimbalist Jr. was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe.

Kelly Goeller directs Waukesha Civic Theatre’s current production of this classic thriller. (John Jahn) April 27-May 13 at the Margaret Brate Bryant Civic Theatre Building, 264 W. Main St., Waukesha. For tickets, call 262-547-0708 or visit waukeshacivictheatre.org.

Up-to-theminute thinking in form and subject are characteristic, as are variety and polish.

It includes a spoken segment, the “Miranda Rights of Happiness,” com20 | A P R I L 2 6 , 2 0 1 8

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

The musical comedy A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (with book and lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak) is not a decadesold play but a quite new one, having debuted in Broadway’s Walter Kerr Theatre but five years ago—where it ran through early 2016. This debut Broadway production proved highly successful not only in terms of audience reception but critical evaluation as well: It won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. New York-based touring companies have taken the popular show on the road since 2015, and one such company now makes its stop in Milwaukee’s Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

It’s 1909 Great Britain, where we find Lord Montague (“Monty”) D’Ysquith Navarro, Ninth Earl of Highhurst, in a jail cell. Here, he commences to write his memoirs; high time, he thinks, because he may have a date with the gallows. His story—and that, therefore, of this musical—traces the previous few years of his life and his reaching, perhaps, the final chapter thereof. As the Marcus Center’s Molly Sommerhalder says, “A Gentleman’s Guide tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession by eliminating the eight pesky relatives, all played by one fearless man, who stand in his way.” Blake Price portrays Monty, and James Taylor Odom is that aforementioned “fearless man” who plays the imperiled D’Ysquith family members. (John Jahn) May 1-6 at Uihlein Hall, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, call 414-273-7206 or visit marcuscenter.org.

The Fantasticks

The Fantasticks is a musical with an allegorical story about two neighboring fathers who pretend to be at odds in an effort to get their respective children to fall in love with each other. This odd matchmaking effort provides for a charming and heart-warming story told through the buoyant music of composer Harvey Schmidt (1929-2018) and the whimsical words of lyricist and librettist Tom Jones (b. 1928).

Schmidt and Jones created The Fantasticks in 1960; it would go on to become the world’s longest-running musical—opening Off-Broadway that year and in continuous production for more than four decades (17,162 total performances) thereafter. With its glorious ballad “Try to Remember,” relatable story and intimate scale, its success is both well deserved and easily understood.

In Tandem’s production of The Fantasticks has a cast of eight, featuring Andrew Varela as the story’s narrator, El Gallo; Keegan Siebken and Susan Wiedmeyer as the plotted-for children; and Matt Daniels and Chris Flieller as their scheming respective fathers. Their first evening’s preview performance is a pay-what-you-can affair; the following opening night performance features a special reception after the show; and the May 3 performance includes a post-show talkback with the director and actors.

(John Jahn) April 26-May 20 at The Tenth Street Theatre, 628 N. 10th St. For tickets, call 414-271-1371 or visit intandemtheatre.org/events/fantasticks.

posed by the dancers as an alternative to those read by one’s arresting officer. “It ends in a celebration in Latin dance, and African and Caribbean dance, of everybody’s right to live in this body and this world, rights that everybody should have but not everybody has,” according to rehearsal director Christal Wagner.

Milwaukee choreographer Dawn Springer’s premiere for seven women is “about momentum and ongoing-ness; it’s kinetic and physically driving,” according to the concert’s artistic director Dani Kuepper. Kym McDaniel, best known for her film/ dance collaborations, will premiere a minimalist work that Kuepper describes as “very emphatic and cathartic in the way it moves from activity to activity over time; you really see the details and how they shift.” Kuepper’s own premiere for 24 dancers riffs on strategic planning methods. Titled “SMART (and dumb) Goals,” she said, “it’s about all the thoughts that go through your head about whether you can achieve something or should even try. To me, that’s relevant to every human being but especially young adults in college.” (John Schneider) Performances are on April 26-29, 7:30pm, on the fifth floor of Kenilworth Square East, 1925 E. Kenilworth Place. For tickets, call 414-229-4308 or visit uwm.edu/arts/box-office/tickets/.

There’s Martha (Anna Figlesthaler), the no-nonsense, by-the-book nurse; Sissy (Nicole Martin), whose soft exterior has to toughen up when she first sees blood; the half-Italian, half-Hawaiian Leann (Sheng Lor) who turns anti-war; Whitney (Emmaline Friederichs) whose affluent background clashes with the realities of combat duty; Mary Jo (Ashley Retzlaff) the cute, perky USO performer scarred by the brutality of war; and Steele (Tina Nixon) the African American officer whose search for truth gets in the way of the military’s “version” of “the facts.” Playing all of the male characters is Josh Decker.

he history of photography begins with the pinhole. Imagine the wonderment of discovering that a tiny hole in the front wall of a dark room let light cast an upside down image on the back wall. From there, it only took chemistry a few centuries to figure out how to affix the image to a stable substrate. Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day commemorates these epochal achievements in visual culture by prompting pinhole photographers to get to work and then upload their work to pinholeday.org.

The shutterbugs at Port Washington’s Studio 224 invite you April 28-29 to bring your pinhole camera (they’re quite easy to make with the internet’s assistance) to photograph Port Washington’s waterfront. The studio’s darkroom will be open to the public between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. for processing paper negatives.

Cedarburg Art Museum • W63 N675 Washington Ave. The Cedarburg Art Museum’s “Wisconsin Modernists: Rebels from Regionalism” exhibition is on display through June 3. With works by figures of international significance, like Carl Holty, and enduring local legacy, like Mary Nohl, digesting all the exhibition has to offer in one week seems like a tall order.

Fortuitously, on Sunday, April 29 at 1 p.m., exhibition research associate Samantha Landre will lead visitors through the exhibition with a presentation on the lives of the exhibited artists. The event is free and open to the public.

Lynden Sculpture Garden • 2145 W. Brown Deer Road April 28 is the fourth annual International Sculpture Day, a worldwide celebration of three-dimensional art. The Lynden Sculpture Garden—itself home to a celebrated collection of more than 50 exemplars of 20th-century monumental sculptures installed across 40 acres of prime Wisconsin nature—is a natural choice for holding the local celebration. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 28, Lynden will orient its celebration around icons of sculpture David Smith and Tony Smith, with drop-in activities and a cake in the shape of Tony Smith’s minimalist masterpiece Wandering Rocks. The events are free for members and included with admission for non-members.

[ FILM CLIPS ] Avengers: Infinity War PG-13

It’s been two years since the Avengers were torn apart by events in Captain America: Civil War. The out-sized villain, Thanos (Josh Brolin in motion capture), arrives on Earth for a smashand-grab to seize the Infinity Stones required to end half the universe. Determined to stop him, the fractured Avengers join forces with Guardians of the Galaxy. The spectacle of this film is beyond the beyond—a result of well-imagined special effects produced by 10 different effects studios, including ILM (Industrial Light & Magic). Directed by the Russo brothers, who also helmed the Captain America movies, Infinity War successfully juggles its dozen-plus characters over a two-and-a-half hour run-time. Filmed in IMAX and 3D, Infinity War: Part Two is scheduled for release in May 2019. You can almost hear the fans cheer as each part ushers in summer blockbuster season. (Lisa Miller)

Italian Film Festival

This year’s Italian Film Festival features the U.S. premiere of Cucini, a documentary on the food of Naples through the eyes of five of the city’s chefs, and The Last Prosecco, a thriller set in the wine-producing region of Veneto. But there is more than food and wine on tap in a program that also includes dramas on immigration and comedy set in today’s tragi-comic world.

All films are subtitled in English. Admission is free. (Morton Shlabotnik) April 27-29, UWM Union Cinema. For more information visit italianfilmfest.org.

Truth or Dare PG-13

A group of teen friends playing Truth or Dare find a grisly force stalking any player refusing his or her dare, or failing to tell the exact truth. The plot resembles Final Destination as, one by one, doomed players fall victim to bizarre, seemingly unavoidable, fatal accidents. An unintentionally goofy effect occurs moments prior to dying, when a player is afflicted by a distorted grin (reportedly based on Willem Dafoe’s toothy smile) and coal-black eyes. Laughable rather than frightening, the film’s Friday the 13th release date pleaded for teen patronage, but Universal will find they’re too smart for this silly film. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] The Purge

The genres despised by the serious minded—especially crime, science fiction and horror—often register social anxiety and fault lines more effectively than Oscar-ready major motion pictures. The Purge (2013) has it all: America’s barely disguised racism, its economic divisions, fixation on comfort and false sense of security. It asks a profound question: Are humans inherently violent? And it foresaw the rise of an ugly brand of populism: “Blessed be America, a nation reborn.”

Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow: Memories in Rock II

“It’s not something I will do all the time,” Ritchie Blackmore insists. The interview on the DVD of this three-disc set—punctuated by concert and soundcheck footage—reveals a thoughtful musician. He’d rather play medieval rock with his acoustic-based Blackmore’s Night, but it’s fun to dust-off the amps and occasionally regroup Rainbow. Metal is “easier to play,” Blackmore adds—those high decibels are forgiving. The set’s two live CDs include Rainbow and Deep Purple hits.

Porto

They seem perfect for each other, soul mates falling deeply in love.

But nothing comes simple for Jake (Anton Yelchin) and Mati (Lucie Lucas), a pair of worldly expatriates who encounter one another in a café in the Portuguese city of Porto. The film by Gabe Klinger is nicely photographed and intriguingly structured, a zigzag in time and emotion between elation and dejection. Extras on the Blu-ray include Klinger’s documentary on James Benning and Richard Linklater.

The City of the Dead —Remastered Ltd. Edition

Well staged was the Salem-era scene of witch-burning that opens The City of the Dead (1960) and its contemporary scenes maintain a level of creepiness. Christopher Lee plays a history professor a bit too eager to send his young grad student to a small Massachusetts town for her research on witchcraft. Clouds of dry ice and hooded figures fill the streets of the accursed place. The new Blu-ray features a lengthy interview with Lee. —David Luhrssen A P R I L 2 6 , 2 0 1 8 | 25

::BY JENNI HERRICK

atriarchy is a system in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it.

In different cultures and during different times, patriarchy takes on different forms, and in today’s #MeToo era, poet Rena Priest’s recent chapbook, Patriarchy Blues, seems especially timely. Sure, the number of women in the workforce is at an all-time high, labor markets have smaller wages gaps and more couples equally share household chores; however, a clear gender divide continues to perpetuate itself in modern society. In Priest’s collection, she brings an unapologetic acumen to some of our most ingrained cultural situations. Her poems, which are not always comfortable, are set against a lyrical, accessible backdrop, and the result is a provocative contemporary critique that will reframe perceptions and the way we see the world.

Priest holds an MFA in writing from Sarah Lawrence College and has taught courses at Western Washington University, Fairhaven College and Northwest Indian College. In addition to poetry, she writes fiction and creative nonfiction. The author will read from her new collection, Patriarchy Blues, at Woodland Pattern Book Center at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 2.

!"#$%&!'"()$#$(&*)$'&+',&*-.'. ::BY JOSHUA MILLER

ranz Ferdinand singer Alex Kapranos fondly recalls the moment he first got exposed to music. As a young boy, he would sit on his father’s shoulders as they danced and spun around the room to the music of Yiannis Markopoulos. The Greek composer’s album, Rizitika, which reinterpreted Cretan music, was one of their favorites to listen to. “Yiannis was playing all this music that essentially was dance music from Crete,” Kapranos recalls.

Recently, he decided to give Rizitika another listen and was instantly transported back to those moments of room spinning and his initial reaction to music.

“It was the first music I can ever remember listening to,” he says. “I realized that sensation I had is what I’ve always been chasing after… Even though we’re always trying to do something new with music, you’re always trying to do it in a different way. The sensation and the response that you have to the music is what we’ve all been chasing.” That feeling of exhilaration and euphoria inspired him while writing songs for the band’s latest album, Always Ascending.

“When a band’s been going awhile, you have a couple of choices. You either keep repeating what you’ve done in the past and realize you had a golden era, or you realize you’re still active as a band and [keep] searching for something greater than you’ve ever done before,” Kapranos says. “As a band, it’s nice to play your old songs, but you still have the artistic drive, and you still wanted to do something new,” he continues. “That doesn’t mean you’re afraid of your identity. It’s not that you’re trying to reinvent yourself. You’re just searching for something new.”

Kapranos says French producer Philippe Zdar helped them in that pursuit. The album finds the band trying new things and sonically is one of the most ambitious albums they’ve recorded. “It’s about communication and emotion or emotional communication,” he explains.

That was most evident while writing their new song, “Slow Don’t Kill Me Slow.”

“I think that song was the most powerful moment I’ve ever had in the studio,” says Kapranos. “It was late at night. People talk about goosebumps, and that was exactly what was happening. It felt like something special and magical—something that

28 | A P R I L 2 6 , 2 0 1 8

was out of the ordinary. Those are the moments you really search for in your life as an artist and performer.”

The band’s ambitious new chapter is further enhanced by lineup changes. Last year, new members Julian Corrie and Dino Bardot joined the band, changing the band’s dynamic. “Julian’s a real virtuoso; lovely, gentle and intelligent guy, and Dino’s an amazing player but much more of a rock star—a proper, old-school rock star in the band with us,” says Kapranos.

“A band is a combination of personalities, isn’t it? So, you end up making a new personality from the fresh personalities that join the collective. It has widened the sound to something that’s much broader than we’ve done before, and the dynamics are greater.”

He compared it to older and newer versions of a video game franchise like Tomb Raider. “Everything comes out with more detail and a bit cooler, and everything moves smoother,” he says. “It adds a bit more three-dimensionality to it. And I guess that’s what happened with the band. It feels like version two of the band.”

So far, they’ve enjoyed how receptive fans are to their new songs and band members. “The new album seems Franz to be going down pretty well,” says Kapranos. “In fact, it’s Ferdinand one of the best reactions we’ve had to an album.”

The Rave While the band is known for their past hits like “Take Monday, Me Out,” he admits that he doesn’t want to be just a nostalgia act playing their hits. The band turned 15 last year April 30, 8 p.m. with little fanfare. “I’m not a great one for anniversaries, nostalgia and celebrations of the past,” Kapranos says.

“It’s not something I think a lot about, to be honest.”

On the other hand, he enjoys having a large catalogue to play live. He feels the band still has plenty of room to grow and has yet to fully reach its peak.

“I love the diversity that we can bring to the set now,” he says. “It means every performance we do is different from the one before. It’s good to contrast the new songs in the set with the different older songs every night.”

Franz Ferdinand play The Rave at 8 p.m. on Monday, April 30 with Priests.

s band names go, Fuzzysurf is a rather literal one. For the project’s debut Me Wocky EP, band leader Sean Lehner spiked his dreamy, ’60s-inspired pop with striking surf-guitar licks. “I was listening to a lot of surf music and Black Sabbath at the time,” he recalls, “so I was trying to combine this fuzz-bass sound with this surf-rock sound.”

And just as Fuzzysurf lived up to the “surf” part of its name on that album, the project’s debut full-length, Hometown Feeling, delivers on the “fuzzy” part. Its songs are dosed in the kind of tuneful, distorted guitars that pervaded alternative rock in the ’90s, recalling power-pop acts like Matthew Sweet, The Posies and Blur. The album’s title track revs itself up with the same stuttery guitar effects that made “Cannonball” such a hit for The Breeders.

Lehner does the’90s throwback thing so well you could assume it’s the band’s driving muse, but he insists that it isn’t. It was just an aesthetic choice that seemed fitting for this particular batch of songs, he explains.

“I don’t usually tend to go for that distorted guitar sound,” Lehner says. “But since these songs were about adolescence and growing up, it just seemed right to pay tribute to my influences when I was growing up and the music that made me want to start a band in the first place. The reason I picked up a guitar was I saw Weezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’ video on MTV, and that was what I wanted to play, so it’s really a love letter to those influences. I was basically writing an album that my adolescent self would like.”

Many of Hometown Feeling’s songs find Lehner looking back on his teen years—the crushes, frustrations and dramas—through the lens of adulthood. “A lot of it is about common experiences, and some of it is about not-so-common experiences,” he says.

“There’s the usual adolescent feeling of heartbreak on songs like ‘Summer Girl,’ which is basically a song about a summer fling that didn’t work out. At the time, that stuff seemed so much more serious, but then you look back at it and think, ‘Was that really such a big deal?’ But the album also reflects on the more serious stuff, the experiences that leave you with regret and ambivalence.”

If things work out, Hometown Feeling will be Fuzzysurf’s last album as a one-man project. Lehner says he’s been working on recruiting a full band so the group can perform live. He’s had some setbacks on that front, “but I’m feeling pretty optimistic about it,” he says. “I’ve met some talented people through the auditions. It’ll sound pretty good once we get a live show.”

Fuzzysurf’s Hometown Feeling will be released on CD and through Apple Music and Spotify on Friday, April 27. It’s streaming now at fuzzysurf.bandcamp.com.

SHEPHERD EXPRESS + 3 4. 5 401

::NEWS OF THE WEIRD

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The Simpsons” is the longest-running American TV sitcom and animated series. But it had a rough start. In the fall of 1989, when producers staged a private pre-release screening of the first episode, they realized the animation was mediocre.

They worked hard to redo it, replacing 70% of the original content. After that slow start, the process got easier and the results got better. When the program completes its 30th season in 2019, it will have aired 669 episodes. I don’t know if your own burgeoning project will ultimately have as enduring a presence, Taurus, but I’m pretty sure that, like “The Simpsons,” it will eventually become better than it is in the early going. Stick with it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming weeks might be an interesting time to resurrect a frustrated dream you abandoned in a wasteland; or rescue and restore a moldering treasure you stopped taking care of a while back; or revive a faltering commitment you’ve been ignoring for reasons that aren’t very high-minded. Is there a secret joy you’ve been denying yourself without good cause? Renew your relationship with it. Is there a rough prize you received before you were ready to make smart use of it? Maybe you’re finally ready. Are you brave enough to dismantle a bad habit that hampers your self-mastery? I suspect you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Hollywood film industry relies heavily on recycled ideas. In 2014, for example, only one of the 10 top-grossing movies—Interstellar—was not a sequel, remake, reboot or episode in a franchise.

In the coming weeks and months, Cancerian, you’ll generate maximum health and wisdom for yourself by being more like Interstellar than like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Age of Extinction, X-Men: Days of Future Past and the six other top-10 rehashes of 2014. Be original!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Long ago, in the land we now call Italy, humans regarded Mars as the divine protector of fields. He was the fertility god who ripened the food crops.

Farmers said prayers to him before planting seeds, asking for his blessings. But as the Roman Empire arose, and warriors began to outnumber farmers, the deity who once served as a kind benefactor evolved into a militant champion, even a fierce and belligerent conqueror. In accordance with current astrological omens, Leo, I encourage you to evolve in the opposite direction. Now is an excellent time to transmute aggressiveness and combativeness into fecundity and tenderness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You sometimes get superstitious when life is going well.

You worry about growing overconfident.

You’re afraid that if you enjoy yourself too much, you will anger the gods and jinx your good fortune. Is any of that noise clouding your mood these days? I hope not; it shouldn’t be. The truth, as I see it, is that your intuition is extra-strong and your decision-making is especially adroit. More luck than usual is flowing in your vicinity, and you have an enhanced knack for capitalizing on it. In my estimation, therefore, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to build up your hunger for vivid adventures and bring your fantasies at least one step closer to becoming concrete realities.

Whisper the following to yourself as you drop off to sleep each night: “I will allow myself to think bigger and bolder than usual.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The bad news is that 60% of Nevada’s Lake Mead has dried up. The good news—at least for historians, tourists and hikers—is that the Old West town of St. Thomas has re-emerged. It had sunk beneath the water in 1938, after the government built the dam that created the lake. But as the lake has shrunk in recent years, old buildings and roads have reappeared.

I foresee a comparable resurfacing in your life, Libra: the return of a lost resource or vanished possibility or departed influence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I hope the next seven weeks will be a time of renaissance for your most engaging alliances.

The astrological omens suggest it can be. Would you like to take advantage of this cosmic invitation?

If so, try the following strategies. 1. Arrange for you

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

and each of your close companions to relive the time when you first met. Recall and revitalize the dispensation that originally brought you together. 2. Talk about the influences you’ve had on each other and the ways your relationship has evolved. 3. Fantasize about the inspirations and help you’d like to offer each other in the future. 4. Brainstorm about the benefits your connection has provided and will provide for the rest of the world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Now is one of the rare times when you should be alert for the potential downsides of blessings that usually sustain you. Even the best things in life could require adjustments. Even your most enlightened attitudes and mature beliefs may have pockets of ignorance. So don’t be a prisoner of your own success or a slave of good habits. Your ability to adjust and make corrections will be key to the most interesting kind of progress you can achieve in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author Simone de Beauvoir was a French feminist and activist. In her book A Transatlantic Love Affair, she made a surprising confession: Thanks to the assistance of a new lover, Nelson Algren, she finally had her first orgasm at age 39. Better late than never, right? I suspect that you, too, are currently a good candidate to be transported to a higher octave of pleasure. Even if you’re an old pro at sexual climax, there may be a new level of bliss awaiting you in some other way. Ask for it! Seek it out! Solicit it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Can you afford to hire someone to do your busy work for a while? If so, do it. If not, see if you can avoid the busy work for a while. In my astrological opinion, you need to deepen and refine your skills at lounging around and doing nothing. The cosmic omens strongly and loudly and energetically suggest that you should be soft and quiet and placid. It’s time for you to recharge your psychospiritual batteries as you dream up new approaches to making love, making money and making sweet nonsense. Please say a demure “No, thanks” to the strident demands of the status quo, my dear. Trust the stars in your own eyes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I believe it’s a favorable time for you to add a new mentor to your entourage. If you don’t have a mentor, go exploring until you find one. In the next five weeks, you might even consider mustering a host of fresh teachers, guides, trainers, coaches and initiators. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you’re primed to learn twice as much and twice as fast about every subject that will be important for you during the next two years. Your future educational needs require your full attention.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Imagine you’re one of four porcupines caught in frigid weather. To keep warm, you all have the urge to huddle together and pool your body heat. But whenever you try to get close, you prick each other with your quills. The only solution to that problem is to move away from each other, even though it means you can’t quell your chill as well. This scenario was used by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud as a parable for the human dilemma. We want to be intimate with each other, Freud said, but we hurt each other when we try. The oft-chosen solution is to be partially intimate: not as close as we would like to be, but only as much as we can bear. Now everything I just said, Aries, is a preface for better news: In the coming weeks, neither your own quills nor those of the people you care about will be as sharp or as long as usual.
