Through a partnership with Tulsa Children’s Museum and volunteers from WPX Energy, Mayfest hosted an Earth Day event at Hawthorne Elementary where children created the artwork now on display in the PAC Gallery.

Tulsa Children’s Museum’s Reclaim This! Old Stuff, New Art program is based on the premise that by removing an object from its context, children can exercise their natural curiosity and creativity and give the object a new life as art. By doing so, kids develop an awareness of the three R’s: reduce, reuse and recycle. They also learn how, why and what to recycle and become familiar with ways to reuse materials that cannot be recycled.

PUBLISHER Jim Langdon

I MISS YOU, LARRY HOW MANY TIMES have we all heard someone preface their comments about an individual by saying, “Well, he had his detractors, but…”? As it concerns my late friend and colleague Larry Payton, I can honestly say I’ve never heard anyone begin an opinion of him that way.

Larry only had admirers.

When Larry and I first met, we were just business associates. He was a promoter. Building managers and John Scott and Larry Payton promoters often have an adversarial relationship. Celebrity Attractions, the company he founded and of which he was president, wanted to present its Broadway series in the PAC. That meant Larry and I had to negotiate and haggle about rental rates and other charges year after year. Somehow it never felt adversarial to either of us. He was the consummate professional.

Happily it didn’t take long for Larry and me to become friends, too. He was the epitome of a good friend. To say that Larry was kindhearted doesn’t give the man nearly his due. Soon after meeting, we discovered a shared passion for golf, and Larry would often invite me to join his scramble teams for the many charitable events he supported. As much as I will miss playing golf with him, working with him, and trading stories and jokes at the Third Street entrance in between greeting patrons on Broadway show nights, the thing I will absolutely miss the most is hearing my office phone ring, picking it up and, without preamble but always with a smile in his voice, Larry asking, “What hole are you on?” Geez, I miss you, man.

On a brighter note, congratulations to the PAC’s Shirley Elliott, who this month will receive the prestigious Newsmakers Award from the Tulsa Chapter of the Association for Women in Communications. The award recognizes Shirley for, among other things, her years of service as program director for the PAC Trust and for her leadership in the collaboration between the Trust and the George Kaiser Family Foundation. That alliance led to the Trust’s presentation of August: Osage County at the PAC in 2010, establishment of the Tulsa Awards for Theatre Excellence (TATE) in 2009, and programming for the Guthrie Green through a recent grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Enjoy May’s events and thanks for your support. I’ll see you in the lobby.

Q+A RexZiak Interview by Nancy Bizjack

In 1993, Rex Ziak had a big decision to make.

Should he take his shiny new Emmy Award to the East Coast and build on a promising career as a documentary cinematographer?

Or should he stay in the Pacific Northwest and continue his quest to determine what really happened along the Columbia River in November of 1805? Ziak took the road less traveled — in more ways than one.

For six years, he researched the movements of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as they neared the Pacific Ocean by carefully reading the explorers’ handwritten journals, studying their maps,

Most people picture a historian as a PhD who works at a university or museum, poring over dusty books and archives.

That’s not you, is it? No, it’s not. I guess that’s what most people think but, on the other hand, I was just at an observatory and one of the PhDs there said that most people think of astronomers as being guys with PhDs, but in fact a lot of the interesting discoveries of comets have been done by farmers and apple orchard owners who are sitting out with their amateur

and retracing sections of their route on foot. His surprising discovery — that a crucial segment of the journey had been misinterpreted for almost 200 years — was initially met with skepticism by Corps of Discovery scholars. But state historical societies and elected officials became convinced that this newly uncovered history deserved recognition. In 2004, the federal government purchased the sites Ziak had identified and created the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park.

Before becoming an “accidental historian,” Ziak was a self-taught photographer who hitchhiked to Mexico and roamed Central and South America for several years after high school. His images, including a photo essay in Life magazine, appeared in publications around the world. He has also published three books. Ziak’s innovative — and successful — effort to save an ancient rainforest in Washington is featured in NBC journalist Bob Dotson’s new book, American Story, a Lifetime Search for Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things.

telescopes at night, and they see things that we look right past. If you’re looking for black holes and dark matter, sometimes you don’t see the comets. I think it’s kind of that same situation.

Why is it important for everyone to know that Lewis and Clark first saw the Pacific Ocean on the north side of the Columbia River and not the south side?

Well, in the first place, President Thomas Jefferson gave Lewis and Clark specific instructions to document everything,

write everything down, and they did. And they went to great pains to be as accurate as possible. That is what Mr. Jefferson wanted. He sent them out with vocabulary lists of, like, 454 words to document.

How do the different Indian tribes refer to the color yellow? The color red? What do they call the sun? How many miles is it to here? What is the width of the river there? Where do these two rivers join?

They wanted this precise information for drawing an accurate picture of the Continued on p. 10 M ay 2013 IN TERM ISSION

continent and its people, plants and animals. Lewis and Clark wrote 800,000 words in their journals — more words than are in the King James Version of the Bible, I’m told. And they’re doing this with a pen they have to dip in ink!

Now consider the fact that this was the summit of their expedition. If they had been mountain climbers, the Pacific Ocean would have been their peak.

Thomas Jefferson had so much pride in this expedition — America’s first, really — and Lewis and Clark went through so much pain and discomfort, it almost became like a civic duty on my behalf to tell this history in a way that if the people who experienced it came back to life, they would agree, “Yes, yes, that’s what we did!”

With all that documentation, how did historians get it wrong for so many years? Eastern men were writing this history down years ago, and they kind of explained it this way and that way, and that area of confusion got mixed with a sort of pride among the local community in Portland, Oregon. Everybody wanted to own this history, so they kind of told it in their favor, for tourism or whatever, and over the last 200 years it was overlooked and misunderstood.

You spent so many years on this project: researching, writing, testifying before the U.S. Senate. How did you feel when the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park was dedicated in 2004? [chuckles] What I started to feel like at that point was somewhat foolish. I had had a career as a photographer and cinematographer, and in 1993 I won an Emmy Award for cinematography. Most people would use that as a launchpad to advance their career and their economic well-being. But I had already started this Lewis and Clark thing, so by the time it got to the Lewis and Clark bicentennial, I was rubbing two nickels together to make a living. I was living off of people paying me to come and talk a little bit here and there. I had invested probably 15 of the 10

Ma y 2 0 1 3 I N TE R M I S S I O N

most productive years of my life in the pursuit of this, and there is absolutely no reward for it. Not only is there no reward, economic or otherwise, but I had kind of operated under the illusion that the historic community, the professors and PhDs, would look at the dots I had connected that they had overlooked, and they would embrace me as an example of investigative creativity and historical research. In contrast to that was an almost complete shunning.

On the one hand, of course, it was great that the history was being revealed accurately and in a way that would make sense now if you followed the journals and really looked at everything. But on the other hand, I kind of felt like I had made a tragic mistake for my own personal life and my own economic security.

How did Sacagawea, a teenaged Native American who had just given birth, contribute to the Lewis and Clark Expedition? What Lewis notices in her is, of course, she was a captured slave from the Shoshones, and she could speak the Shoshone language, which was the Rocky Mountain language. Lewis learned from her and from talking with her husband, or the guy who bought her, Toussaint Charbonneau, that there were these mountains ahead of him and he knew he would need horses. Her real importance to the Lewis and Clark Expedition would be, in Lewis’ mind, when they got to the mountains, she would be a native speaker of the people who would have the horses.

So she was really seen as a translator for them. Her knowledge of the area and some of the geography was at times valuable to them, but the part about her being a guide has kind of been exaggerated. She was a very young girl when she was captured, and they were mostly traveling through areas where she had never been before. But the unintended value of her was, as they entered some of these native lands, the Native American men looked at this group of strangers and one of their immediate reactions was alarm, but then they saw this woman with a baby and they knew that

no war party would travel with a woman with a baby. So instead of notching their arrows and getting ready for a conflict, they decided to see what these strangers wanted.

Another interesting character is Clark’s servant, York. Tell us about him.

Bringing along a servant, I guess, was in Clark’s mind just as obvious of a thing as us taking our iPads or iPhones with us when we go traveling now. So here is York, and he is property and a slave, the lowest rung of society. And then he goes on this expedition and, as you can well imagine in a circumstance like that, the color of one’s skin suddenly becomes secondary to who can pull the hardest on the rope or who can carry this, who can do that, and as these men are pulling these boats up the river and lifting canoes and whatever, his power and strength all of a sudden elevates him in other people’s estimation because he was so physically capable.

Beyond increasing our knowledge of an important part of American history, what do you hope to impart to the audience here in Tulsa? Well, I know this is going to be a stretch for the people of Oklahoma, in the sense that your state is not on Lewis and Clark’s route, but then again, one of the largest fan bases of Lewis and Clark history is in Arizona!

I will certainly try to make it as relevant to the people of Oklahoma as possible.

And I think my story, even beyond Lewis and Clark’s story, is that through hard work and dedication, persistence, and just staying at something — whether you are writing or painting or looking at the stars or whatever — many things can be accomplished by ordinary people who exert above-average efforts. That’s my story.

by Matt Cauthron f you asked a stranger to name the greatest, most influential songwriting duo in the history of popular music, many would automatically offer up the legendary team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

Maybe a few would stray to mention Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, or perhaps Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

But while those invading Brits did leave an indelible mark on the history of popular music, it could be argued that none of them penned as many all-time classics — songs that transcend genre, era and even language to become embedded in the popular consciousness — as did musical theater’s beloved one-two punch of Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Any proud Oklahoman knows Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, first and foremost, as the composer and lyricist who immortalized our state in the delightfully upbeat sing-along “Oklahoma!” from the musical of the same name. But their collection of classics certainly doesn’t end there. From “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” to “Some Enchanted Evening,” the songs of this legendary musical theater partnership are as engrained in American pop culture as a familiar Christmas carol or church hymn.

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II

Anna Neal, Mitchell Neill, Seth Paden, Cathy Rose and Heather RichettoRumley will perform more than 30 of the pair’s classic compositions in A Grand Night for Singing, a Tony-nominated revue celebrating the breadth of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s songbook, from littleknown gems to worldwide sensations.

The revue was originally conceived in the early 1990s by theater director Walter Bobbie, who wrote a story linking the songs together in new contexts, highlighting the romantic entanglements of the five performers.

For example, the revue turns “Shall We Dance” (from The King and I) into a

charming duet for a tall beauty agreeing to a dance with a comically undersized partner. For the classic “Maria” from The Sound of Music, instead of exasperated nuns bemoaning the antics of a naughty novitiate, the revue finds the question of “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” posed by a lovelorn young man pining after his ladylove.

The reinventions don’t stop at story context — some of the tunes have undergone a musical facelift as well.

The jazzy reinterpretation of “Kansas City” from Oklahoma! and the swinging reimagining of “Honey Bun” from South Pacific illustrate just how universal, relatable and, yes, transcendent these songs have always been.

So whether you drive a surrey with the fringe on top or a slightly more contemporary vehicle, plan to attend this program celebrating two titans of musical theater. You know you “cain’t” say no.

aryJoanna Grisso can’t decide what her favorite song is.

“It’s a tie between the balcony scene [‘Tonight’] and ‘A Boy Like That,’” she says. For her, these songs are both “emotionally driven pieces, very intense and very dramatic. I love them both.”

Grisso stars as Maria in West Side Story, the classic love story that recently enjoyed a hit revival on Broadway. Maria is the sister of Bernardo, the leader of the Puerto Rican “Sharks” gang. When she and Tony, a member of the PolishAmerican “Jets” gang, fall for each other, tensions rise on the Upper West Side of New York City.

Based on Romeo and Juliet, perhaps the most famous love story of all time, West Side Story was one of the first American musicals to focus on contemporary social and ethnic 14

Ma y 2 0 1 3 I N TE R M I S S I ON

conflicts. The prospect of interracial romance — even between whites and Hispanics — was taboo when this groundbreaking show premiered in 1957.

Leonard Bernstein’s music and Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics — the pair’s only collaboration — are considered some of Broadway’s finest. The legendary Jerome Robbins created the show’s balletic choreography and directed the original production.

The current tour of West Side Story is based on the critically acclaimed 20092011 Broadway revival, which ran longer and made more money than the original production! Reimagined and directed

by Arthur Laurents, who wrote the book for the original production, the revival is a grittier, more realistic version. Laurents died in 2011 at age 93, but his influence continues to be felt on the tour. Before his passing, Laurents

oversaw the work of tour director David Saint, who was his associate director on Broadway.

If you think this production will be basically the same as the 1961 movie — probably the most famous iteration of the show — you’ll be mistaken.

“It’s so different from the movie,” Grisso emphasizes.

For one thing, the Sharks speak Spanish — which didn’t often happen on Broadway in 1957 or in American movies in 1961. About 10 percent of the show is in Spanish, including about half of the lyrics in the songs “I Feel Pretty” and “A Boy Like That.”

“It adds a lot of flavor, I think, to the show,” Grisso says. “More of an authentic feel.”

While Grisso doesn’t speak Spanish herself, it wasn’t much of a stretch to learn that aspect of the role.

different weather or different altitudes.

All these things that you don’t think about can affect your voice and your job.”

But to be in a show like West Side Story, Grisso says, is worth it.

“I’ve been doing theatre since I was a kid. My mom is a music teacher, and we’ve always been a family that’s gone to see theatre.”

Grisso was raised and received her training in West Virginia, but she spent several years as a child in New York.

“We would always go see Broadway shows,” she recalls. “I was just in love with it from the time I was a kid. I can’t remember not having music and theatre in my life.”

Interestingly, the West Virginia connection has made its way to the West Side Story tour. Theo Lencicki, who plays Riff, was in a production of High School Musical with Grisso when they were both teenagers. Grisso says they hadn’t seen each other in several years, but “it was pretty cool for us to be cast together.”

What’s personally fulfilling for Grisso is being able to tell a story with universal value — not to mention excellent music by two of the most iconic composers in American history.

When asked what she would say to

entice someone who has never seen West Side Story, Grisso replies, “I would tell them that this is a timeless story that can really relate to anyone.”

For her, it’s a show about “love and how people have to get over racial and cultural barriers and differences.

“And a lot of good singing and dancing too,” she adds.

“I speak a little bit of Italian,” she says. “My mother and aunts and uncles all speak it fluently. So it wasn’t too far off to learn to sing in Spanish. Once I started just getting familiar with it, it came naturally to me.”

Not that everything has been easy about the tour. Grisso is based in New York, and she says she hasn’t been home in about three months. This can take its toll both personally and professionally.

“Physically taking care of yourself is a huge responsibility,” she notes. “We’ll go through different cities that have

LAYOVER TROUBLE

hat do you get when an Italian, a German, and an American walk into a French apartment and realize they’re engaged to the same man? A lot of really loud accents!

Translated from Marc Camoletti’s popular French play, and with an American adaptation by Beverly Cross, Boeing-Boeing is a sexy, outrageous bedroom farce.

You may remember the 1965 film of the same name, starring Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis. While not too impressed with the movie adaptation, local playwright and director Vern Stefanic perked up when the 2008 Broadway production won the Tony Award for Best Revival. “I was very excited when [Theatre Tulsa President] Sara Phoenix asked me about the possibility of directing Boeing-Boeing,” he says.

After directing dramas, a farce is a nice change of pace for Stefanic. “The challenge is making it entertaining and believable for the audience,” he says.

Fortunately, Tulsa has some pretty fantastic talent when it comes to hilarity and acting. “The people who have been selected to be in it are absolutely perfect for their parts,” Stefanic says.

Bernard (Jarrod Kopp), an American living in Paris and the play’s lothario, has wooed three airline hostesses of

by Natalie O’Neal

differing nationalities with the help of his naïve friend Robert (Cody McCoy).

Poor Robert gets caught up in Bernard’s escapades and does his best to keep track of scheduling to ensure that the women don’t collide during their “layovers.” A comical and action-packed nail-biter ensues with lots of pushing, bumping, punching, and, of course, kissing, all while people are running in and out of doors in the nick of time.

The play offers an interesting peek at a time when characters like the ones on TV’s Mad Men ruled corporate offices in all their chauvinistic glory, and women, newly emboldened by Dr. Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Female and Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, were empowered by second-wave feminism.

Behind Boeing-Boeing’s humorous charades lies a very real shift away from the strict gender roles of the early 20th century.

“The women in Bernard’s life offer a wide spectrum of personality types and assets,” Stefanic explains. Gloria (Chelsea Shores), the American, is “a very modern woman (for 1965): adventuresome, loving, quirky and with a big interest in the Kinsey Reports.” Gabriella (Ione Blocker), the Italian, is “emotional, carefree, organized, logical and supportive,” while Gretchen (Leighanna Cumbie), the German, “is passion personified.” So you

can imagine the tornado of emotions that rips through the apartment when all three women find themselves in the same place with the same lover. Crash landing, Bernard.

The key to a good farce is exaggeration.

It also helps to poke fun at the human condition. While a farce is “a great crowd pleaser,” Stefanic says, “to me, the show goes deeper thematically. It’s human folly to believe we’re the master of our own design. People create a world they think is absolutely paradise and then it all falls apart on them.

“We’re approaching characters very seriously, but putting them in outrageous situations,” he adds. “Don’t be afraid to enjoy yourself. In a farce, things are by definition very exaggerated. This show is an opportunity to see a part of our culture right at the point it was changing, and we get to see that change happen in a hilarious way.”

THE BOYS NEXT DOOR

THE BOYS NEXT DOOR is a comedydrama about four intellectually disabled men who live together in a small apartment.

Playwright Tom Griffin introduces us to Norman, who works at a donut shop and has a thing for keys; Barry, who thinks he is a golf pro and doesn’t communicate well with his father; Arnold, who is into all things Russian and has a habit of spending money; and Lucien, who is devoted to Spider-Man and must testify before the state senate. Jack, their caring social worker, is on the verge of career burnout, but finds it hard to say goodbye to these guys he cares about.

With just as many laughs as tears, this play is a reminder that all of us, regardless of mental or physical differences, crave the same things: love and acceptance.

SPINNING PL ATES PRODUCTIONS

SPINNING PL ATES PRODUCTIONS

FREUD’S LAST SESSION by Mark St. Germain centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites a young, little-known professor, C.S. Lewis, to his home in London.

Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life — only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own.

Tulsa author and theatre expert Vern Stefanic directs this piece that was named Best New Play of 2011 by the Off Broadway Alliance.

ADAPTED BY JAMES ROOSE-EVANS from Helene Hanff’s autobiographical work of the same name, 84 Charing Cross Road is a story about long-distance relationships.

In 1949, Helene, in search of obscure classics and British literature titles she had been unable to find in New York City, notices an ad in the Saturday Review of Literature and contacts Marks & Co., a London bookseller located at 84 Charing Cross Road. Employee Frank Doel fulfills her requests, and a long-distance friendship evolves, not only between the two, but between Helene and other staff members as well.

They exchange Christmas packages, birthday gifts, and food parcels to compensate for post-World War II food shortages in Britain. Their letters include discussions about topics as diverse as the sermons of John Donne, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the coronation of Elizabeth II, and how to make Yorkshire Pudding.

This production is directed by Rebecca Ungerman.
