Willy Wonka: The Musical REVIEW, plus Dayton Playhouse FutureFest Schedule

July 19, 2012 By Russell Florence, Jr. Leave a Comment

Ralph Bordner and the Oompa-Loompas of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka

ROALD DAHL’S WILLY WONKA

The Epiphany Players Drama Ministry of Epiphany Lutheran Church cures the summertime blues with a charming presentation of “Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka: The Musical,” breezily adapted by Leslie Bricusse and Timothy Allen McDonald.

Based on Dahl’s 1964 novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and incorporating Bricusse and Anthony Newley’s delightful songs from the 1971 film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” the entertaining production, fluidly directed by Brett Greenwood, greatly benefits from strong visuals and pleasant principals offering grounded portrayals.

As Charlie Bucket, a London lad living in poverty with his kindly parents and grandparents, fine tenor Christian Johnson delivers an effortlessly endearing performance brimming with humility. Watching Charlie’s life drastically transform thanks to the worldwide scavenger hunt put in motion by the eccentric titular chocolatier (a sufficient Ralph Bordner) constantly stirs emotions due to Johnson’s appealing earnestness. Jim Evans is equally affable as Grandpa Joe, who joins Charlie for a memorable tour of Wonka’s wonderland, efficiently designed by Chris Harmon and Daniel Ungard.

Dahl’s pertinent look at the dangers of shoddy parenting and spoiled children is also effectively upheld in the comical relationships formed by Sandy Schwartzwalder and Trent Beard (Mrs. Gloop and Augustus Gloop), Charlie Arthur and Cecily Dowd (Mr. Salt and Veruca Salt), Anne Potter and Emily Kennebeck (Mrs. Beauregarde and Violet Beauregarde) and Moira Betts and Evan Benjamin (Ms. Teavee and Mike Teavee). Dowd’s rendition of “I Want It Now” and Betts and Benjamin’s “I See It All on TV” (also featuring Sarah Armantrout as Phyllis Trout) are notable.

Connor Betts, Hannah Scaglione, Martha Armstrong-Benjamin, Cheryl Kayser and Larry Klueber comprise the Bucket family. Chace Beard portrays the Candy Man. The unified, morals-driven Oompa-Loompas are colorfully costumed by Maria Klueber and Lori Watamaniuk and cutely choreographed by Erin Ulman. John Benjamin conducts a solid orchestra.

“Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka: The Musical” continues through July 22 at Epiphany Lutheran Church, 6430 Far Hills Ave., Centerville. Performances are Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Act One: 55 minutes; Act Two: 55 minutes. Tickets are $10-$15. Call (937) 433-1449 ext. 105 or e-mail Jane Lane at [email protected]. Patrons should be advised the show is double- cast featuring CJ Suchyta, Brendan Plate, Timmy Seiler, Jimmy Basner, Brianna Russ, Margo Russ and Josh Schmellenkamp in principal roles.

The Dayton Playhouse Presents Autumn Sweet on the Big Screen

July 18, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment

The Dayton Playhouse announces a fundraising event of something very unique. Autumn Sweet was a play selected as a finalist in the first year of the Dayton Playhouse’ annual new play festival, FutureFest. While it did not appear in the festival that year, it was a play that was always a favorite of festival founder, John Riley. When he later got the opportunity to produce the play, written by Frank Catalano, for First Stage Productions, Riley decided to do extensive filming of the play and edit it for the screen. Riley has completed the editing of this moving drama and is allowing the Dayton Playhouse to host a screening of the film as a fundraiser. The story follows a small family with an alcoholic father, codependent mother, teenage daughter with artistic dreams and younger son with disabilities.

The screening will be at the Dayton Playhouse, 1301 E. Siebenthaler Ave, Dayton, OH 45414, on Saturday, August 4, at 7:00 p.m. There will be a suggested $10 donation to be paid at the door. Reservations are not necessary.

Riley and other actors in the play will be on hand after the screening to discuss the play and how it was developed into the film format. Refreshments and networking will follow the screening. Actors in the play include John Riley, Dodie Lockwood, Ame Clase, Jim Harworth and Micah Stock. The original play was directed by Greg Smith and the screen version was produced by John & Marty Riley.

According to Dayton Playhouse board chairman, Brian Sharp, “This is a great opportunity for us to raise funds and for our audience members to view a new play in a completely different format. We’re delighted that John has offered us this unique opportunity.”

For additional information contact the Dayton Playhouse box office at 937-424-8477.

Suddenly, “Mr. Applegate” appears. He looks like a slick salesman, but he is really the Devil, and he offers Joe exactly that deal: if he gives up his soul, Joe will become “Joe Hardy”, the young slugger the Senators need. Joe accepts, even though he must leave his wife Meg (“Goodbye Old Girl”). However, Joe’s business sense makes him insist on an escape clause. The Senators’ last game is on September 25, and if he plays in that final game, he is “in for the duration”. If not, he has until 9 o’clock that night to walk away from the deal and return to his normal life.

Old Case Files: A Trial at the Old Courthouse (TICKET CONTEST)

July 17, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment

In 2011, Dayton History unveiled a new public program, Old Case Files, at the Old Court House. Old Case Files brings to life an infamous 19th century murder case through an historically accurate and engaging re-enactment of the trial, based upon the newspaper accounts and other primary source documents of the time.

Dayton History (with sponsorship of Bieser, Greer & Landis LLP, with additional support by the Dayton Bar Association) presents Old Case Files for its second year at the Old Courthouse in Downtown Dayton. This year features a dramatic presentation of the 1876 trial in which Harry Adams was accused of murdering Civil War veteran, Henry Mulharen.

The mock-trial promises to be filled with mystery, intrigue, and excitement for all those who enjoy history and a great piece of theatre! Audience members will have a chance to interact with the witnesses and some attending the show may be lucky enough to be chosen for the jury to decide Adams’ fate. You can witness this entertaining and engaging living history event on July 20-22, 27-29 and August 3-5. Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30 pm and Sunday performances start at 3:00 pm. Admission is $10 for Dayton History members and $12 for non-members. Light food and drinks are available for purchase as is selected Museum Store merchandise.

Construction of the Old Court House began in 1847 and was completed within three years at a cost of $100,000. It is built almost entirely from a grade of locally quarried limestone nicknamed “Dayton marble.” The building was dedicated on April 16, 1850. Upon completion, the structure became the center of law and local government for Montgomery County. It was the scene of many famous, as well as infamous, trials.

2 Great Films, Another Great Weekend at THE NEON!

July 12, 2012 By Jonathan McNeal Leave a Comment

Hello Everyone,

This is a short & easy newsletter this week. We had another incredible weekend at THE NEON. People are really liking Woody Allen’s latest film – TO ROME WITH LOVE (some people have been quite vocal about their disgust for the review that appeared in Dayton Daily…and some have said they like the film as much as MIDNIGHT IN PARIS). In addition, MOONRISE KINGDOM continues to draw big crowds. Thank you so much for your support of these films. (You can visit either official site by clicking the titles above.)

Check out this fun “Behind the Scenes Clip.”

[yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M_ySP5M1F0′]

We are holding steady this week! That said, we do have a special event on Saturday.

“Allow yourself to be immersed in a world where perception is redefined by a mysterious drug called I Razor. Dr. Gregory Fleer, a once brilliant scientist and the creator of I Razor, is transformed by his own experiment, along with a portion of the male population, into a band of telekinetic freaks who must negotiate their way through a world twisted beyond all recognition by their altered perceptions… Circus Devils (Robert Pollard of GUIDED BY VOICES and Todd Tobias) present: I RAZOR a New Film directed by Todd Tobias, starring Steve Five, Cory Race, and Brad Visker – with music by Circus Devils. Saturday July 14th at 12:30pm. Tickets are $5 each, and there are only a few left! Buying a ticket will enter you into a raffle to win cool I Razor/Circus Devils stuff (I Razor Movie T Shirts, posters) before the movie…” (taken from press release) Word has it that Guided By Voices will be in attendance.

In the coming weeks, I’ll have news about a special event surrounding the film THE INVISIBLE WAR (August 5) and news about a NEON Benefit (Save the date – October 14) to assist with our upcoming digital conversion.

And don’t forget that your movie ticket gets you 15% off your food order at Sa-Bai…located directly behind THE NEON.

Thanks for your continued support.
We hope to see you soon,
Jonathan

The Human Race Theatre Company Presents The 2012 Festival of New Musicals

July 12, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro 1 Comment

Todd Lawson

(from The Human Race Theatre Company)

The Human Race Theatre Company, dedicated to the development of new musicals, is pleased to announce the three-play line-up for its 2012 Festival of New Musicals. This marks The Human Race’s fifth annual festival that showcases musicals in development, and the second year of including a new work from Encore Theater Company. Human Race Producing Artistic Director Kevin Moore has selected two musicals that are very close to his heart—Dani Girl and Red-Blooded, All-American Man. The third musical is Encore Theater Company’s production of 33MM: A Musical Exhibition. The festival will kick off with a welcome session on Friday, August 3 at 6:00 p.m. in The Loft Lobby. The productions perform in The Loft Theatre in rotating repertory over the course of the three-day festival. Audiences will have a chance to meet the writers of the shows during a discussion session on Saturday, August 4 at 12:30 p.m.

Dani Girl, a beautiful, touching and unexpectedly humorous story of a 9-year-old girl battling leukemia. Her incredible imagination takes her on a fantastical quest to get her hair back when she loses it to chemotherapy. With the help of a fellow patient, 10-year-old Marty, and her imaginary friend, Raph, she confronts Cancer and asks him, “Why?” Created by the award-winning team of Michael Kooman, music, and Christopher Dimond, book and lyrics, the show has been developed in a number of festivals, including the 2011 National Alliance for Musical Theatre Festival of New Musicals, the Kennedy Center and the ASCAP/Disney Musical Theatre Workshop, and during productions in Canada and Australia. Kooman and Dimond have received the much-coveted Jonathan Larson Award, and most recently became the first recipients of the Lorenz Hart Award presented by the ASCAP Foundation. “The show is a tribute to the children and families dealing with serious medical issues,” said Moore. “It is not a weepy melodrama or a bleak tragedy, but a spiritual journey accompanied by an upbeat, contemporary score that evokes feelings of hope and joy.” Dani Girl is directed by Marya Spring Cordes and music directed by Scot Woolley. The cast includes Abby E. Cates, Brendan Plate, Jamie Cordes and Katie Pees. Performances of Dani Girl are Friday, August 3 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, August 4 at 2:00 p.m.

Native Daytonian and Human Race alumnus Todd Lawson and his writing partner, Carter Anne McGowan, have joined with the New Orleans rock n’ roll band Cowboy Mouth (who is playing at the Downtown Dayton Revival Music Fest in September), to create Red-Blooded, All-American Man, the story of a regular guy having a pre-midlife crisis. Tucker, our main guy, has a beautiful fiancée and a good job, but he’s still not happy. His mind wanders—with the help of the rock band in his head that comments on everything he does. Unsure of his life and afraid of his future, he’s ready to throw it all away for the chance to make his dreams come true only to discover that sometimes getting everything you wish for is not as great as you imagine. Originally workshopped at the Penobscot Theatre Company’s Northern Writes New Play Festival, this “coming-of-age” musical “is sure to connect with our new musical audience,” says Moore. “And we are equally thrilled to be working with Todd Lawson again.” Lawson appeared in Three Days of Rain and The Vertical Hour—both directed by The Human Race’s late artistic director, Marsha Hanna. Red-Blooded, All-American Man is directed by Kevin Moore, music directed by Jay Brunner and vocal directed by Scott Stoney. The cast includes Todd Lawson, Amy Leigh, Paige Dobkins, Scott Stoney and Sara Mackie, with band members Jay Brunner, Allison Kelly and Kevin Anderson. Performances of Red-Blooded, All-American Man are Friday, August 3 at 10:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 5 at 7:00 p.m.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, but what about a song? Can one picture inspire a song? How about fifteen photos? In 35MM: A Musical Exhibition, each photo creates a different song completely disconnected from the other, creating fifteen different and unique moments frozen in time; a glimmer of a life unfolding, a glimpse of something happening. This stunning new multimedia musical explores a groundbreaking new concept in musical theatre. With music and lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver (composer of Disney Theatricals’ upcoming stage musical Freaky Friday) and the contemporary photography of Matthew Murphy, this intricately woven collection of stories told through song re-imagines what the modern American musical can be. 35MM: A Musical Exhibition is produced by Encore Theater Company, directed by its artistic director, David Brush, and music directed by Zachary Jordan Steele. The cast includes Elizabeth Wellman, Melissa Hall, Drew Bowen, Zachary Jordan Steele. The band includes Zachary Jordan Steele, Amy Gray, Melissa Hall, Allison Kelly and Jeremy King. Performances of 35MM: A Musical Exhibition are Saturday, August 4 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 5 at 2:00 p.m.

The 2012 Festival of New Musicals is sponsored by the 25th Anniversary Fund, The Producers’ Circle and a grant from The Dramatists Guild of America. SEE ENTIRE FESTIVAL SCHEDULE CALENDAR

All performances are at the Metropolitan Art Center’s Loft Theatre, located at 126 North Main Street in downtown Dayton, Ohio. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door for each production and are available online at www.humanracetheatre.org or by calling Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630, and in person at the Schuster Center box office.

DVAC presents 21st Annual Open Members’ Show: No Borders

July 12, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment

Edd McGatha, Among Us, 2012, inkjet print

The Dayton Visual Arts Center (DVAC) presents the 21st Annual Open Members’ Show: No Borders. Over 170 artist members (including Kollar Anderson, whose work was featured on DMM a couple years ago) will be represented by one work of art each in this exhibition that celebrates the Dayton Region’s diverse community of visual artists. The opening reception is Friday July 13th 5-8pm and the exhibit runs through August 18th, with a Gallery Talk on Friday August 3rd.

This year’s theme is No Borders, a title that implies far-reaching concepts and out-of-the-box thinking. DVAC hopes this theme will encourage their member artists to delve deeply into their work to explore new ideas that are relevant and complex, reflective of contemporary art-making practices and that push the boundaries of creative thought and discovery.

John Emery, Mackenzie Nor’west, 2012, watercolor construction

While the show is open to all members, it is juried for $1,000 in prizes, including The Lombard Prize for best interpretation of the theme. Charlotte Gordon will be the prize juror. She is currently the Curator of the Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, Ohio. Presentation of awards will take place at DVAC’s Annual Meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 21.

DVAC is located at 118 N. Jefferson Street in Downtown Dayton. Gallery hours are 11am-6pm Tuesday through Saturday.

UPDATE (7/17/2012 2:12pm)

The winners of the DVAC 21st Annual Open Members’ Show have been announced:

Juror’s Statement

This is the first time I have had the opportunity to jury the DVAC Annual Members’ Show. It proved to be a task both gratifying and daunting. This gallery is filled with the creativity and talent of 172 area artists whose originality, quality, and craftsmanship are something to celebrate. I am glad I had the occasion to get lost in every object here. No Borders is an appropriate theme, as the daily news is filled with border disputes—political, geographical, emotional, and physical. The interpretations of this theme are vast and varied. There are literal interpretations found in Joseph Karlovec’s Round Up and Sherraid Scott’s Broken Border. Christina Pereyma’s Remnant questions interior/exterior borders in the way that the architectural lines outside are continued and repeated in yellow satin hanging just inside the window.

Amy Kollar Anderson’s Map of Ilak transports you to a place of the unfamiliar, while Barb Weinert-McBee takes you back to the tenderly familiar. Ed Charney’s and Bruce Soifer’s landscapes explore the borders of earth and sky. The craftsmanship in the sculpture, glass and ceramics is exceptional. The patterning in Susan Cannon’s glass vessel Diaspora implies different borders all together. The members in this exhibition reflect vitality, ability, and a sense of wonder in their art. The exhibition offers a rich visual experience, adding depth and breadth to the entire Dayton community.

Glenna Jennings: An Artistic Conversation

July 11, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment

Glenna Jennings

Editor’s Note: The following was written and submitted by Philip Titlebaum – an intern with Blue Sky Project)

Glenna Jennings was born in Alpine, CA, where she navigated a landscape of monster trucks, chaparral and soccer moms that still informs much of her practice.

She holds BAs in Photography (Art Center College of Design), English-Journalism (Pepperdine University) and Spanish (Pepperdine University). She received her MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California San Diego in 2010. Before joining the faculty at The University of Dayton, Jennings served as the U.S. director of the Geneva-Los Angeles based art collective compactspace, where she curated dozens of shows with emerging and established artists and faculty from Southern California art programs, including CalArts, USC, UCSD, UCLA, Art Center College of Design and Otis.

Jennings work includes photography, writing, video and curating, and she has exhibited throughout the U.S., Europe and Mexico. Her work was recently included in the 2010 California Biennial and resides in multiple public and private collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Winda Cultural Center in Kielce, Poland. Jennings joined the faculty of the University of Dayton’s Department of Visual Arts in 2011.

Serbian mothers, two-buck chuck and taco shop fare collide in Glenna Jennings’ ongoing series At Table, a collection of photographs that investigate and celebrate the everyday act of gathering to eat and drink. Since 2006, Jennings has been documenting her encounters with various social groups throughout the U.S., Europe and Mexico. She turns her lens on a world in which the formalities of the mundane manifest in the common act of food and beverage consumption, portraying the everyday as dramatic spectacle.

For the current installation of the project, Jennings has created a series of wallpapers inspired by Kitsch, popular culture and historical pattern-making. These photo-based designs house her imagery in its own micro-universe, evoking the underlying domesticity, humor and reverence inherent to the At Table experience.

At Table: Rachel's 40th (La Mesa, CA)

At Table is currently on display at the Blue Sky Gallery located at 33 North Main Street, Dayton, Ohio. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Glenna Jennings and find out a little bit more about her work and experiences.

Philip Titlebaum: How did you get involved with Blue Sky Project?

Glenna Jennings: This past Spring, I met Blue Sky co-creator Peter Benkendorf and he invited me to become part of the Blue Sky community as a collaborating artist. He and artistic director Rodney Veal were very receptive to my ideas and we were off and running! I was impressed by the scope of Blue Sky’s mission and the quality of work produced by its many resident artists over the years. The summer so far in Dayton has been a productive blast! I had the chance to meet and work alongside the amazing artist Katherine Mann and to meet so many like-minded members of the Dayton community. Blue Sky is unique to the other art organizations I have worked with on the West Coast in its generosity and community spirit. I look forward to seeing it grow!

PT: What inspired you to begin your At Table series?

At Table: The Californians, shown on I Mangiatori II (Robert eats.)

GJ: First of all, I love to eat and drink, preferably while seated! However, much of the imagery is not solely about the act of consuming food or beverages. It is loaded with other cultural artifacts and gestures, from beauty products and party favors to Soviet Kitsch and orthodox iconography. The images are really about spaces of common ground and physical engagement. I switched from a film-based to a mainly digital practice in 2006 and the quality and quantity of my imagery changed a great deal. I had been shooting a lot of medium and large format work during my BFA days at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA and (under the constraints of that institution) was very focused on results. The economy of the digital process loosened me up and allowed the images to flow. I became a better editor in that process, as the dramatic moments I cull from hundreds of shots of friends and family are fairly rare – I generally get about 5-12 ‘usable’ images per year. Therefore, what started as a side project to adapt my process has become a lifelong quest for dramatic everyday moments.

Of course, most folks don’t like to be photographed while shoving food in their mouths or indulging in cheap wine, so I had to “shoot” my subjects into submission. At that time, I had been doing some commercial work in Los Angeles and I was extremely turned off by the standard requests to make models skinnier and skin smoother. However, there is still a mode of objectification inherent in the At Table process. Most of my subjects are not thrilled with how they come out in the photos, but they are willing participants who later revel in the results (except for my mother – she still hates the photos of her!). It is perhaps cliché to position the photograph as a receptacle of personal memory, and equally over-academic to stake its legitimacy solely in cultural documentation. But these images are both, and I am not afraid to say I find their drama and chaos beautiful.

At Table: Mom and Mickey (Alpine, CA)

PT: What have you learned through your study of consumption?

GJ: In the 90s and early 2000s “consumption” was a catch phrase in the global art institution (if I can indeed claim one exists!). We had, among others, Andreas Gursky’s uber-photo of a 99-cent store and other spaces of consumer behavior. We also had Martin Parr’s amazing images in Think of England and other bodies of work. I gravitate toward Parr’s humor and humanism, the way he captured both the pride and humility of a nation stubbornly (and cheekily) morphing into the global economy. Of course, there are countless other influences and histories I have discovered throughout this ‘side-project.’ However, I began to see these photos more as celebrations than clinical documents of consumer behavior – so I use the term “consumption” in a more ‘tongue-in-cheek’ manner. Most of us readily acknowledge our consumer status, but “consumption,” with its plurality of definitions, is belittling and frightening. In these images it is the gestures and expressions that immediately draw my attention rather than the brand names that litter the foreground. We are the masters of the table; the goods are mere fodder.

On another note, several of the friends and family in the series are no longer with us, and their photos were deemed appropriate to be displayed at funerals and memorial ceremonies. Those events truly revealed the schism between consumption and celebration. That’s where the pathos entered. At my dear friend Fellini’s wake, I realized this personal archive could have greater significance outside the institution – it served its most important function of catharsis and remembrance while sitting on a short easel at West Hollywood’s Silver Spoon Café.

At Table: Fellini's Eve (West Hollywood, CA)

PT: What led to the decision to create wallpapers for this manifestation of the project?

GJ: The wallpapers were a delusional gift from the muses! Well, Let’s see…

Since moving to Dayton in August 2011, I have been doing research into the history of the National Cash Register, focusing on images of Patterson’s social welfare programs housed within the local NCR archive. I recently received a Peter McGrath Human Rights fellowship from the University of Dayton to more fully realize this project, which will result in a body of multi-media works that mesh archival imagery with current investigations of how we view labor and leisure from a Human Rights perspective. My studio walls are filled with Xerox copies of photos depicting various groups of laborers doing workplace calisthenics in factories and offices. I was drawn to the formal patterns in these images, to the way the bodies made sense of themselves through corporate-imposed repetition and mimicry. These faces and bodies had begun to form a wallpaper within my home, yet I would never meet, interview or know any of the subjects. That is an intense feeling for me and I am sure for many who do archival work!

The connection of that research to kitschy, celebrity-based patterns is tangential, but it was one of those exhilarating studio moments — one minute you are reading about the history of a local economy and the next you are Googling “famous people eating.” I had never made “internet art” and had a longing to do so. I basically turned a rudimentary assignment I had given in class into a personal exercise and enjoyed the results. In a conceptually simple but perceptually accurate sense, any duplicated and manipulated image can become a pattern, which is fun and eerie! Moreover, most people look pretty hilarious when they are eating, and the public loves to see celebrated figures made vulnerable.

I wanted a new context for my existing images, and at the risk of falling into gimmick, I churned out custom “appropriated” wallpapers. I am still looking into the economic and aesthetic history of wallpaper, but mostly I am having a lot of fun. Wallpaper was a good solution because it reinforced the domestic theme of the work and formally separated these charged images from the white cubes they inhabit. The representational aspect is not immediately apparent – you can’t see Betty White eating a hot dog or Mike Tyson shoving a green glob into his mouth until you get really close – and that’s what I want you to do!

At Table: Fellini's Eve and Rachel's 40th, shown on I Mangiatori I (Betty eats.)

PT: Where does the series go from here?

GJ: I’d love to wallpaper the entire state of Ohio! But in the meantime, I am turning my lens on less familiar groups of people. I have begun to document my new friends and visitors in Dayton, as well as the international students from UD’s Intensive English Program who have graciously invited me into their homes. As a newcomer, the At Table series offers me the opportunity to meet new people and continue my research into Dayton’s history. In an “immigrant friendly” city, I should expect to find a great deal of diversity in our everyday operations, but this is not always the case. As a Spanish speaker, I am hoping to forge a relationship with our Latino community and present imagery of diverse groups of Daytonians who don’t often meet around the table. I am available most any time if you have room for a voyeur/guest! This new work will debut at Blue Sky in November, just in time for the holiday season.

PT: What is the best way for people to get a hold of you if they would like to be a part of the project?

GJ: Just send an email to my UD account: [email protected] — and let me know what I should bring!

PT: Could you tell me about your upcoming photo project for Cityfolk?

GJ: The Cityfolk project came along as I was in the midst of researching the ethnographic nature of Dayton for a curatorial project with The Dayton International Peace Museum to open in 2013. Jean Berry invited me to take part in the Cityfolk initiative to bring large-scale photos to public spaces throughout Dayton. As part of my project, I will be running a photo-booth on Courthouse Square during Urban Nights to make portraits of all and any Daytonians who stop by. This event is also supported by the “Dayton, Ohio: You Are Here!” project, initiated by Terry Welker. The final product – large scale portraits – will debut on various city walls this coming winter. It is really exciting to work with yet another organization that supports art and diversity! Oh, and there will be wallpaper!

PT: What is your other work like?

GJ: I have an interesting personal relation to the arts – the first day of my BFA program (which would be my 3rd Bachelor’s) was 9/11/2001. I had left a career teaching English as a Second language to follow this art dream into a cultural, physical and economic explosion. There was a lot of fantasy and escapism in my early work, but it was full of passion and a lusty pursuit of the relevance of Kitsch to a society in the midst of a major representational wake-up call. I began to form lasting professional relationships with other artists, which mainly resulted in compactspace, a Geneve-LA based art collective and gallery that had a nice 6-year run in downtown Los Angeles. That experience fueled my curatorial work and inspires me to stretch myself as thin as possible – after all, there is no such thing as a “solo show” – I love working with other artists and seeing how disparate works create new narratives.

On my first day of Grad School at The University of California San Diego, my father passed away. This devastation was of a far more personal nature, and I had a hard time making new work. The only way through the grief was to create around, in, over and about his death. Inheritance, a collection of works that includes portraits of various women from my life eating and drinking around a table with my father’s prized pistol, was the result of this experience. (My dad left me, a leftie, 17 guns, most of which I still intend to sell to fund art.)

My work since then has been eclectic in terms of subject matter – a conflation of Doestoevsky’s Crime and Punishment with high school cheerleading, the aesthetics of Place and Space in a small Mexican-American border town, and now NCR. What unites these disparate topics is a passionate need to organize chaos while celebrating disorder. Those age-old binaries – Fact/Ficion, History/Memory, Life/Death – they’re all in there! It is probably not surprising that Ira Glass is a personal hero of mine.

PT: Anything else?

GJ: Why, yes! I am currently creating a course titled “Photography as Social Practice.” We will look at the legacy of photo-journalism from a traditional academic standpoint, but we will also collaborate with other community-based groups, including Blue Sky, Cityfolk, The Rivers Institute and The Center for the Environment and Sustainability to locate and/or create projects of Art Activism within our community. I aim to get students of multiple disciplines involved in this initiative. We will get out there and pixilate the Dayton map with possibilities. This is an opportunity for the UD students to get beyond the distant rhetoric they observed this past fall with Occupy Dayton. Basically, I aim to keep that dream alive through an ‘insurgency’ of hope, help and community empowerment.

Blue Sky Project is a summer experience that empowers professional artists from around the world and local youth to collaborate and build community through the creation of ambitious works of contemporary art and performance. Blue Sky also maintains a gallery at 33 North Main Street, Dayton, Ohio where Jennings work is on display through July 27.

Dayton Playhouse Presents FutureFest 2012

July 11, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro 2 Comments

FutureFest, an annual festival of previously unproduced plays sponsored by the Dayton Playhouse, will take place July 27-29. This event is nationally recognized as a premier event in the playwrighting community and is the largest effort of its kind sponsored by a community theatre.

“Each year we read hundreds of previously unproduced plays submitted by writers in the United States and often around the world,” said Brian Sharp, chairman of the Dayton Playhouse board. “We narrow the selection to the top 6 plays and we bring those playwrights to Dayton for an in-depth weekend. The plays are produced by Dayton Playhouse volunteers, half as staged readings and half as fully staged productions during the weekend. After each presentation, the writing is critiqued by professional adjudicators from major theatre communities across the country. All of this is shared by our audience members, who also participate in the adjudication. The weekend also includes lots of social interaction with playwrights, actors and adjudicators and makes for a very stimulating theatre event.”

This year’s finalists include:

A Political Woman by Joel Fishbane of Quebec, Canada, also a finalist in 2010 for Short Story Long. This play will be directed by Cynthia Karns and will be fully staged at 8 p.m. on Friday.

As a debate rages in the Canadian parliament over universal suffrage, young Maggie Shand slowly becomes instrumental to her husband’s political life. But she soon realizes that her newfound political influence has a price – one she may not be willing to pay. Inspired by the play “what every woman knows” by J.M. Barrie, a political woman is at once a historical comedy and an exploration of a crucial time in gender politics with echoes that are all too relevant in the modern day.

Provenance by Daniel J. Weber of Great Neck, New York. This play will be a staged reading Saturday at 10 a.m. and will be directed by David Shough.

Provenance – lives and breathes in the world of wine. Yet it is emphatically not a play about wine. Rather, the cultivation of wine serves as an overarching metaphor for the history of change and growth that affects each character on stage. Like the mysterious champagne in question, four characters are trapped inside their own personal histories. The only way out: personal reinvention. Change becomes an act of survival. But how far will a person bend the truth to escape his or her past? What are the consequences? In this explosive examination of history and identity, secrets, like lies, are impossible to contain.

Nureyev’s Eyes written by David Rush of Murphysboro, Illinois whose play Estelle Singerman was the festival winner in 2006. This play will be directed by Annie Pesch and will be a staged reading 3 p.m. on Saturday.

During the 70s, Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew) painted a series of works of Rudolf Nureyev, the dancer. The play examines what their relationship may have been like, how they passed through good and bad times and ultimately changed each other.

Curve by Sam Havens of Houston, Texas. This play will be directed by Jim Lockwood and will be fully staged on Saturday at 8 p.m.

In this witty, provocative play about truth and illusion, unrelenting rain pours down outside the Connecticut home of Dakin Abernathy. Inside, Dakin and his neighbor, Ted Mueller, engage in a verbal joust where nothing is as it seems. Or is it? Dakin, a noted film noir director, accuses Ted of having killed his own wife. Ted protests, yet as morning spins into afternoon and a thunderous evening, he begins to believe that he might, indeed, be a murderer. Dakin’s wife, Angela, complicates events with her flaky personality, and their daughter, Lana Veronica, comes home for the weekend saying she is in trouble with the law. Events escalate and secrets are revealed until the play itself suggests one of Dakin’s film noir classics, complete with dark music, ominous lighting and swirling fog.

Excavation by Robert Barron of Newburgh, NY. This play will be directed by Nancy Campbell and will be a staged reading at 10 a.m. on Sunday

Excavation – is a journey into the past to unlock the future. A widowed father who works as a security guard at New York’s American Museum of Natural History struggles to reach his mute seven year old son, who is fading away from grief over his mother’s death. Meanwhile, a parallel story takes place on the Southwest corner of England in the 1800s, as one of the first paleontologists, Mary Anning, struggles for her own survival as she scours the shorelines for whispers and vestiges of worlds gone by…

This Rough Magic written by Richard Manley of New York City, who was a festival finalist in 2009 for his play Quietus. The play will be directed by Gayle Smith and will be fully staged at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

I believe that Americans are by and large a lonely people. Our productivity and medication and social media notwithstanding, many of us struggle to make sense of things, to find a sustainable balance between melancholy and hope. Joy, when it comes, is often momentary, and must be savored. In my work, I celebrate those who fight to maintain equilibrium. This Rough Magic takes place a few years from now, when overcoming loneliness and feeling loved are no less of a problem, but when technology offers more solutions to those who can afford them.

Adjudicators for FutureFest 2012 are returnees David Finkle, writer for the Huffington Post; playwright and dramaturg at Chicago Dramatists, Rob Koon; Helen Sneed, president Helen Sneed Consulting; and Eleanore Speert, past publications director at Dramatists Play Service, Inc. They will be joined by playwright and Ohio regional representative to the Dramatists Guild, Faye Sholiton, whose play The Interview won the festival in 1997.

Weekend passes for the entire festival are available for $95. Tickets to individual performances are $18. All tickets may be purchased at www.daytonplayhouse.org, or by calling the Dayton Playhouse box office at 937-424-8477. The Dayton Playhouse is located at, 1301 E. Siebenthaler Ave., Dayton, OH 45414.
