Busy weekend for Harrisburg theaters

THEaTRE HaRRISBURg aND gaMUT THEaTRE TO STagE NEw SHOwS

aMy gRaNT TO TakE SHIppENSBURg STagE

This past week I cel-ebrated my 10-year anni-versary of being together with … my cat. Felix is a cool dude.

I got him when I was 18 and I’m a little surprised that he’s survived all of the college shenanigans.

He moved with me from Illinois to Michigan, out to Colorado and back, to Har-risburg and Philly and again back to Harrisburg. He, and his mother, are a little tired of moving.

To celebrate, I grabbed a can of cat food (disgusting) and put a candle in it. We ended the evening with a little catnip and a snuggle. It was purr-fect.

Since I got Felix from the animal shelter, I think it’s entirely appropriate to hype the The Rolling Bead/Furry Friends Network silent auction.

It runs through Nov. 24 and all proceeds go towards promoting pet adoption, education and spay/neuter programs in Central Penn-sylvania. Check it out at 200 S. Spring Garden St. in Carlisle. Felix would ap-

prove. Meow.This week I’ll be checking

out the newest addition in my hood, Brick City Bar & Grille. It’s at 1313 N. Second Street in Harrisburg. I’m super stoked that there’s a new place in Midtown where I can grab a beer and watch a game without hav-ing to hike the seven blocks downtown.

The place touts a full menu and tons of TVs for all the sports-fanatic dudes out there. I’ll let you know what I think. In the mean-time, find them online at www.brickcitybarand-grille.com.

All right, so this is a shameless plug, but I rarely

do it, so listen up. We rede-signed our entertainment page on Cumberlink.com and it’s pretty awesome. If you look on the right-hand side of the page under En-tertainment Calendar, you’ll see April Trotter’s weekend list of things to do.

The list has a little of ev-erything from theatre to bar openings to family-friendly events. I’ve used it, and you should, too. Go to www.cumberlink.com/enter-tainment and let me know what you think.

please drink responsibly.

Turning the Page

A tale of love that transcends timeWhenever I think about

my ultimate dream of writ-ing a book, there’s one teeny-tiny problem that prevents me from hop-ping on my laptop and typ-ing out my opus: I have no idea what to write about. So when I read a book like “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” I think, Why didn’t I come up with that?

Since it was made into a major motion picture star-ring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana last year, many of you are probably at least slightly familiar with the plot.

Henry DeTamble is a li-brarian with a secret called chrono-displacement dis-order — otherwise known as the ability to time travel. Later in his life, he meets Claire Abshire, falls in love and marries her.

But since his time-trav-eling abilities tend to take him back to important places in his life, he’s ac-tually been visiting Claire

since she was 6 years old. She has spent her entire life waiting to meet Henry, whereas Henry meets her for the first time in his late 20s.

Sounds a little confusing, right? It can be, particular-ly in the narrative method author Audrey Niffenegger chose for the novel. It al-

ternates between first-per-son accounts by Claire and Henry.

Each entry has a date, a narrator and ages for Claire and Henry specified. Even with this information, though, the reader can of-ten get lost as to when the events are happening in relation to everything else you’ve been reading so far.

Time elements aside, Niffenegger has written a love story that is both tra-ditional and untraditional.

We have a couple that is burdened by the fact that one of them goes missing in the time-space contin-uum at any given time for any given amount of time.

We also have a couple struggling with communi-cation issues and distance in relationships.

Both sides of this rela-tionship are explored in a way relatable to any man or woman who has been in love.

Since I’d seen the movie

before I read the book, I knew the ending. But I still found myself captivated to learn what would happen next, and whether or not Henry would find a cure to his time-traveling disorder.

For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, you’ll enjoy reading the story of Claire and Henry’s love as it spans a lifetime.

By BARBARA TRAININ BLANKSEnTinEL [email protected]

A few years after their tri-umph with “My Fair Lady,” author-lyricist Alan J. Le-rner and composer Freder-ick Loewe faced an unenvi-able challenge: Could their next musical be as good?

Audiences expected it would be. Advance sales for “Camelot” were the larg-est in Broadway history. But the show met with mixed reviews — to a large extent because of a long book that was cut later on.

Still, “Camelot,” which opened in 1960 on Broad-way, had big stars — Rich-ard Burton and Julie An-drew, as well as newcomer Robert Goulet — noted di-rector Moss Hart and mar-velous music.

The show won four To-nys, and the original cast album — featuring such gems as “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “I Loved You Once in Silence,” “What Do the Simple Folk Do” and the title song — was the coun-try’s best-selling LP for more than 60 weeks.

Based on the Arthu-rian legend as told in T.H. White’s book, “The Once and Future King,” “Camelot” concerns an idealistic king, a queen who struggled with her love for a knight and the Round Table.

The musical has enjoyed several revivals, includ-ing a touring company in 2007-2008. In May 2008, the New York Philharmonic presented five semi-staged concert versions.

‘Great show’Ed Cohn, who plays Ar-

thur in the Theatre Harris-burg production, appreci-ates “Camelot” both as a classic and a “great show,” one he is pleased to be able to interpret for today’s au-diences.

“I love the fantasy ele-ment and great dramatic value,” Cohn says. “It’s not all about the music, but about how the music and drama are intertwined.”

The actor finds a “real arc” to Arthur, “a well-written character with flaws and insecurities — who passes from a childish, whiny king-boy who acts younger than he should to the inspired king he was meant to be.”

That path is complicated by the arrival of the con-ceited but fundamentally noble Lancelot, who falls in love with the queen — and she with him. Although the affair isn’t consummated in the musical, their pas-sion and Arthur’s response throw the ideals he has set up through the Round Table

off course.“The king struggles with

righteous selfishness,” Cohn says. “Will he be a selfless king or a selfish one? Even-tually he decides, But he loses everything — his best friend, his wife, the Round Table.”

But if his original vision fails, by play’s end — in Arthur’s moving words, “Don’t let it be forgot” — it is still appreciated by gen-erations down the road.

Complex roleFor Allison Graham, who

moved to the area recently from Columbus, Ohio, via New York City, the magic in the musical is paralleled by the feeling she had being cast as Guenevere.

“‘Camelot’ is for me,” she says. ‘It’s a great role, an iconic character, in exactly the style I like to sing. And the music is so beautiful.”

The role is also one more complex than people might imagine. Guenevere is a young woman brought into an arranged marriage who comes to love her husband — but not as deeply as she feels for the dashing French knight who joins the Round Table and becomes his best friend.

Musically, Graham is hap-py the production includes one of two songs that ap-peared on the original al-bum but were later con-sidered “optional” — and that is “Take Me to the Fair.” In it, Guenevere flirts with three knights in an attempt to rile up the Lancelot she at first dislikes.

Musical director Eric Dundore says one of the challenges with “Camelot” is familiarity — “doing things a certain way.” One “way” is that Lerner and Loewe sometimes used lead actors who were not sing-ers, such as Rex Harrison

in “My Fair Lady” and, to a lesser degree, Burton in “Camelot.”

“We’re lucky to have three people who sing very well and have a good handle on the music and how to sell a song,” Dundore says.

Iconic musicM u s i c - d i r e c t i n g

“Camelot” is for Dundore the fulfillment of a longtime dream.

“This is music that is iconic, something that I’ve always wanted to do in my career,” he says. “They are all great songs.”

For director Roque Ber-langa, the opportunity to stage a “classic” such as “Camelot” is one a director jumps at.

“It’s part of our artistic heritage,” he says, “a musi-cal everyone should know about.”

In tribute to that heritage, the version audiences see on stage is “most like the

original” — though he and choreographer Gwen Ma-han have shortened a few of the processional dance numbers a bit.

“It is a long show,” Ber-langa admits. “One that spans so many years. You have to keep continu-ity while making sure the audiences understand the

passage of time. Lerner and Loewe wrote signals of this throughout.”

Graham’s assessment of the musical is simple: “It’s a romantic love story. How can you not love it?”

Rick Graybill is Lance-lot; Joe Carr is Merlyn; and Brock Meadath is Mordred, the villain.

When Ashleigh Corby created Carlisle’s Adult Prom, she hoped for a lot but didn’t know what to ex-pect.

“When you start these things, you never know what you’re going to get,” said Corby, the director of marketing at Rillo’s Restau-rant. “You just plan that it will be big.”

By 11 p.m. during the first Adult Prom, Corby knew she had something worth pursuing. It didn’t take much convincing to re-team with the owners of Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb to offer the Second Annual Adult Prom, which will be held Saturday at Rillo’s in Carlisle.

The Adult Prom gives those 21 years old and old-er a chance to experience prom again while giving back to the community. The event raises money for the United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County.

“Everyone had such a wonderful time, and we were able to bring aware-ness to the crowd of what United Way of Carlisle does,” Corby said. “Last year we raised about $300, and we’re hoping to double that this year.”

Rillo’s and Miss Ruth’s help raise money for Unit-ed Way through donations and admission. Tickets for the prom are $30 and in-clude a wine and Market Cross Brewery sampling, light hors d’oeuvres, a prom picture by Jeremy Schultz,

prom favor, raffle ticket and entertainment by DJ Russ with Bob Foltz Entertain-ment.

Seating is limited, so res-ervations are required, Cor-by says.

“We’re about three-quar-ters of the way full,” she said. “We still do have some room — about 80 seats. We really want it to sell out this year. Once we do sell out, we will let people come out for the second half of the evening by making a dona-tion. We still want them to give us a call and find some way for them to enjoy the

evening.”

auctionGuests can also help raise

more money for the United Way by participating in the prom’s first Chinese auc-tion. A number of Carlisle businesses donated items

for the prom to use to raise money. Some of the items in the auction include priz-es from Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb, Rillo’s Restaurant, Market Cross Pub & Brew-ery, The Green Room, The Rolling Bead, The Clothes-Vine, California Cafe, Dave

Bender Massage Therapist and Fairfield Inn & Suites.

“So many businesses were willing to donate,” Corby said. “(The prom) is a way to raise awareness for United Way and for Carlisle businesses.”

Though the United Way

gets some funds and free publicity, the prom is also just a dance where guests can let loose, no matter what age they are.

“We saw anyone from 23 or 25 to 65, and that’s not

Gamut Classic Theatre

Philosopher disquiets fellow citizens

By BarBara TraiNiN BlaNkSentinel [email protected]

When J. Clark Nicholson read “Barefoot in Athens,” he found it a breath of fresh air. Literally and figurative-ly.

As a high school student, Gamut’s artistic director had been assigned to read Maxwell Anderson’s play about the final days and tri-al of Socrates — but had put it off till the last weekend before the due date. He was working weekends clean-ing air-conditioning units in a cotton mill, so another team member took over the cleaning duties while Nich-olson climbed into a duct and read.

“I realized we had created a democratic society — like Athens — in rudimentary form,” he says of his work group. “We had established our own society, what we agreed with and what we didn’t, and being kids, we have fiery disagreements. And here I was reading about this firebrand, who really valued democracy, but questioned its tenets and asked tough questions that didn’t really have an-swers.”

As Anderson underscores, Socrates was tried and forced to take poison be-cause he didn’t worship the local gods and “corrupted youth” — three of the men he had trained ended up as tyrants. But the core of his troubles was a commitment to free speech.

“His was the first major free-speech trial in history,” Nicholson points out. “This is a very timely message,

one we’re having a pro-tracted debate about now.”

Not much is known about the founder of Western philosophy, which would probably have pleased the man who believed the only thing known for certain is that nothing is known for certain. He wanders about with no shoes, in a ragged cloak, embarrassing his family, friends and the gov-ernment.

‘Historically accurate’“A lot of it is historically

accurate,” says Dan Burke, the Socrates of the produc-tion, “although the trial in reality took about eight hours, and in the play it takes about half an hour.”

The main characters are historically accurate as well.

Christina Closs plays Theodote, a courtesan who may have had feelings for Socrates — and is one of only two female charac-ters. The other is Xantippe (Lynde Stern), Socrates’s wife, who came down through history as a shrew — mentioned in that fa-mous Shakespearean com-edy about a woman of the same ilk who gets tamed — despite scanty evidence.

Anderson’s take is dif-ferent, that there was real love between Socrates and his wife. His play makes the point that ordinary women in Greek society were con-fined to home while only courtesans, not allowed in women’s quarters, could go where men went and speak with men on their terms.

“Xantippe thinks The-odote is an evil harlot, but they both come to a friend-ship,” Closs says.

In one unhistorical touch, Lysis is one of Socrates’s three sons. In reality he was a student; none of the philosopher’s progeny fol-lowed in his footsteps. Ly-sis is played by female actor Alex Bailey.

“He is drawn to knowledge and shows promise, but he is also rebellious,” says Bai-ley. “He and Socrates are so similar they butt heads.”

Family tiesAnderson, who also au-

thored the plays “Winter-set,” “What Price Glory?” and “Bad Seed,” lyrics and screenplays, was known for an emphasis on justice. In 1951, when he wrote “Bare-foot in Athens,” the “Red Scare” was on his mind.

“It was a time of fear of Communism, and naming names,” says Closs.

The ’50s were also time of an idealized notion of fam-ily, of “Leave It to Beaver.”

“But Socrates’ family was in chaos; they had bad man-ners. That would be a cul-tural shock for audiences,” Bailey says.

Anderson was different than many playwrights in

that he wrote in many styles, including, occasionally, blank verse. He was classi-cal in such plays as “Anne of the Thousand Days” but “modern” in this one.

In addition to their war of ideas, Socrates has a “battle of words” with his accus-er in the play and “knocks him out,” says Ian Potter, who portrays that accuser, Anytas. People would use words, and the philosopher would ask what they meant by them. He was comfort-able with uncertainty.

“Socrates was not a popu-lar man,” Potter says. “But Anytas had his ulterior mo-tives as well. He’s a military man and wants a scapegoat for Sparta taking over Ath-ens.”

Burke says many of his theater friends are com-ing from out of state to catch the play because it is “hardly ever done.” He has also found that heavy re-search wasn’t necessary for his iconic role.

“Anderson gives every-thing to the actor,” he says.

“The writing gives every-thing.”

Also appearing in the production are Jason Be-renstein, Brendan Downey, Frank Henley, Eugene Henninger-Voss, Charles Hooker, Joey Ketchum, Jeff Luttermoser, Kent McNeil-lie, Dave Richwine, Aiden Roth, Kyle Sallee, Lynde Sern, Philip Wheeler and

David Ramon Zayas.“Barefoot in Athens”

was done as a 1996 (Emmy award-winning) Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie, starring Peter Ustinov, Geraldine Page and Chris-topher Walken in his film debut.

Nicholson is also respon-sible for the scenic con-cept.

Celtic musicians present unique showby LiSa CLarkeSENTINEL [email protected]

Halloween has passed for another year, but there is still a treat in store for folk music fans this weekend when the internationally renowned Celtic musicians who call themselves the Battlefield Band appear in Camp Hill.

The band was formed in 1969 and named after the Glasgow suburb of Battle-field, where four student friends initially conceived the group.

They are credited with pioneering modern Celtic sound through integrating traditional instrumentation such as bagpipes and fiddle with synthesizers, guitar and voice.

Their music is character-ized by a fusion of old songs and new tunes, played on both modern and ancient instruments.

Since the band’s incep-tion, the lineup has shift-ed over the decades as the group made its way around the world, performing in Europe and North America as well as such far-flung lo-cales as Hong Kong, Aus-tralia, Syria, Jordan, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt and Uz-bekistan.

Noteworthy occasionHowever, the current tour

is an especially noteworthy occasion, as it marks the fi-nal run for founding mem-ber Alan Reid, who will be retiring from the group after this year, as well as the first appearance for new mem-ber Ewen Henderson.

“Alan Reid, who has been in the band for 40 years, forever and ever, has decid-ed to pack it in. We are tour-ing with a five-piece band this tour with a new fellow, Ewen Anderson, and Alan as well,” says band member Mike Katz.

“So we will be playing an unusual lineup and play-ing lots of new stuff as well as old stuff. We have been working on new mate-rial with Ewen, so we will be playing some of that as well.”

Five-piece bandAs always, Reid will per-

form on vocals, keyboard and accordion, and Hender-son will play fiddle, pipes, whistles, piano and vocals. Katz adds pipes, whistles, bass and guitar, while Sean O’Donnell on vocals and guitar and Alasdair White on fiddle, whistle, bouzou-ki and pipes round out the lineup.

“It’s very good fun hav-ing a five-piece band since there’s normally four of us. And obviously it’s always a bit of a shot in the arm to have a new person, because they have different tunes and different ideas,” says Katz.

“Ewen is a multi-instru-mentalist and a Gallic sing-er as well, so we have quite a lot of things put on our plate to try and work out, and it’s been quite good fun.”

Katz describes their music as a mixture of songs and instrumental music that is largely traditional Irish and Scottish with bagpipes and fiddle as well as guitar.

a lot of variety“There’s quite a lot of va-

riety and quite a lot of en-ergy to the music and songs are a mixture of different things,” says Katz. “The hardest part of this kind of music is trying to get people to go, but once they do, it’s very entertaining and inter-esting and, like I said, quite a lot of energy. So once it all gets going, it’s good stuff.”

The band has spent time in the studio recently work-ing with its new four-piece lineup, as well as on the road in five-piece form.

The musicians honed their present band, includ-

ing both Reid and Hender-son, on a recently com-pleted tour of Germany and Switzerland.

“It’s new because it’s the five of us and Alan is leaving ... it’s unusual, this event for us. We play quite a lot in the States. We haven’t been in Harrisburg, but we’ve been other places nearby,

so hopefully there will be some people that know us,” says Katz. “It’s a unique op-portunity to see us on this tour.”

The Battlefield Band per-formance is presented by the Susquehanna Folk Mu-sic Society in association with the Scottish Society of Central Pennsylvania

at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Camp Hill United Method-ist Church, 417 S. 22nd St. in Camp Hill.

It is preceded by a pot luck dinner at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $22 for general admission and $10 for stu-dents, age 3-22. For more information, visit www.sfmsfolk.org.

The internationally known Celtic musicians Battlefield Band will appear this weekend in Camp Hill.

to say it has to stop there,” Corby said. “The room was filled with a bunch of fun people. Some of those dancing were people I’ve never seen dance before. It was great.”

Sarah Taby, co-owner of Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb, noted in a press release that it’s also another way for mothers and daughters to bond while shop-ping for that prom dress — this time for the mother.

“We have so much fun with our Adult Prom customers,” she said. “Usually when a mother and teenage daughter come in the shop for formal wear, they are there for a high school prom or homecoming event.

“However, with Adult Prom,” she said, “it’s the mother looking for that per-fect dress and her daughter helping with a final choice. We love hearing a teenager telling her mother, ‘Mom, you look

beautiful!’ That is what makes Adult Prom so special. It’s a chance for adults to take time away from their usual routines to feel young, full of life and beautiful.”

“People told us we should make sure to let them know when we would have the prom,” Corby said. “They had a great time. We even had re-quests to have it twice a year. I think we’ll just start with once a year for now.”

The night begins at 6 p.m. with the wine and brewery sampling, and the music will start at 7 p.m.

The Prom King and Queen will be crowned at 9 p.m., but the dancing doesn’t have to stop there.

This year’s Adult Prom fairy-tale theme is “Once Upon a Time.” Tickets can be pur-chased at Rillo’s, 60 Pine St., in Carlisle, or at Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb, 115 W. High St., in Carlisle.

For more information, call Rillo’s at 243-6141.

Out with Erica Reporter Erica Dolson shares tips for 20-something entertainment that doesn’t involve Second Street.

When I flipped my cal-endar to November earli-er this week, the monthly piece of advice read, “Take time to smell the coffee.”

Well, I thought, I can beat that: This month, I’ll also take the time to drink coffee. In a coffeehouse. Perhaps while I’m curled up in a thick sweater with a book.

Coffeehouses have al-ways been a favorite hang-out of mine. As a teenager I went to Juice and Java after high school football games. In college I found the combination of hushed conversation and buzzing espresso machines to be the per-fect amount of back-ground noise to study by. Even now, they are a great place to go for a change of scenery while I read some notes, do some research or just brainstorm story ideas.

And while coffeehouses

are a great venue to catch up with an old friend, go out on a low-key first date or sip coffee and soak up free Wi-Fi for hours, they can also offer a little bit more:

• If you need an af-ternoon pick-me-up: Carlisle Coffee or Juice and Java (Mechanics-burg).

• If you want to do a little people-watch-ing: Cornerstone Cof-feehouse, Camp Hill (the place is always hopping on Sunday afternoons, and almost any other time).

• If you are in the mood for some live music: Courthouse Commons in Carlisle has open mic nights on Thursdays, and the Crimson Frog Cof-feehouse in Lower Allen Township features dif-ferent artists throughout each month.

Amy Grant to perform at Luhrs Center

By Erica DolSonSENTiNEL [email protected]

Listeners may be most familiar with Amy Grant from her Christmas music collections or her number one pop hits “Baby, Baby” and “Every Heartbeat.”

But, she’s come a long way, baby, baby.

The Grammy Award-winning artist, on the brink of her 50th birthday and in the wake of her most recent album release, will be in Central Pennsylvania, per-forming a show at the Luhrs Performing Arts Center to-night.

“I hope that the audience is revived on some level, somewhere ... and I think music can do that,” she said. “Best case scenario, someone walks out feel-ing better than when they walked in.”

“An Evening with Amy Grant” will begin at 8 p.m. tonight .

Audience members can anticipate much of what they have come to expect from Amy Grant — a blend of acoustic sounds and 90s pop.

“To me, what makes a record is the artist’s songs, what they say, singing along,” Grant said.

“My job is to (make) a concert hall into a living room.”

She’ll be performing mu-sic from the last few de-cades up through her most recent album, “Somewhere Down the Road,” which was released in March.

Grant’s performance is expected to run from about one hour and 45 minutes to

two hours, said Leslie Fol-mer Clinton, director of the Luhrs Center.

new musicGrant’s most recent re-

cord is her first non-sea-sonal release after a six-year hiatus from recording.

“It was exciting. It was wonderful. It was an amaz-ing learning experience,” she said.

This was the first time Grant recorded without a record deal and was re-sponsible for things like mixing and studio costs, she said.

“It was just so strange being in my late 40s, and I have never been in that particular situation,” she said.

But the result has received a good response, she said.

The album is comprised of mostly new songs, Grant said. “Overnight” is a duet with Grant’s 17-year-old daughter, Sarah, and “Bet-ter than a Hallelujah,” a song that spoke to Grant after the recent deaths of two close friends, she said.

The album also features some old songs and unre-leased songs.

“It’s just the perfect time. ... You have to have lived a while to do a record like that,” Grant said. “I’m a be-liever that music finds its own audience. The most rewarding thing to hear is,

‘I really connected to your album. I bought it for a friend.’”

audienceGrant’s audiences en-

compass all ages, and, of-ten, generations of families come, Grant said. Typically, the bulk of audience mem-bers are within 10 years of Grant’s age, she said.

“I think (the audience) is probably going to transcend a lot of ages and ... musical tastes,” Mark Bodenhorn, director of marketing for the Luhrs Center, said.

Grant is a cross-over art-ist whose music ranges from country to Christian to pop, he added.

She is also the first female country artist to grace the stage at the Luhrs Center in about three years, Clinton

said. This is the fifth anniver-

sary season for the center, which has also had perfor-mances by Neil Sedaka, the Commodores, Bill Engvall and Charlie Daniels.

“Our programming is very diverse,” Clinton said. “And this is a continuation of that diversity.”

Celtic musicians present unique showby LiSa CLarkeSENTINEL [email protected]

Halloween has passed for another year, but there is still a treat in store for folk music fans this weekend when the internationally renowned Celtic musicians who call themselves the Battlefield Band appear in Camp Hill.

The band was formed in 1969 and named after the Glasgow suburb of Battle-field, where four student friends initially conceived the group.

They are credited with pioneering modern Celtic sound through integrating traditional instrumentation such as bagpipes and fiddle with synthesizers, guitar and voice.

Their music is character-ized by a fusion of old songs and new tunes, played on both modern and ancient instruments.

Since the band’s incep-tion, the lineup has shift-ed over the decades as the group made its way around the world, performing in Europe and North America as well as such far-flung lo-cales as Hong Kong, Aus-tralia, Syria, Jordan, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt and Uz-bekistan.

Noteworthy occasionHowever, the current tour

is an especially noteworthy occasion, as it marks the fi-nal run for founding mem-ber Alan Reid, who will be retiring from the group after this year, as well as the first appearance for new mem-ber Ewen Henderson.

“Alan Reid, who has been in the band for 40 years, forever and ever, has decid-ed to pack it in. We are tour-ing with a five-piece band this tour with a new fellow, Ewen Anderson, and Alan as well,” says band member Mike Katz.

“So we will be playing an unusual lineup and play-ing lots of new stuff as well as old stuff. We have been working on new mate-rial with Ewen, so we will be playing some of that as well.”

Five-piece bandAs always, Reid will per-

form on vocals, keyboard and accordion, and Hender-son will play fiddle, pipes, whistles, piano and vocals. Katz adds pipes, whistles, bass and guitar, while Sean O’Donnell on vocals and guitar and Alasdair White on fiddle, whistle, bouzou-ki and pipes round out the lineup.

“It’s very good fun hav-ing a five-piece band since there’s normally four of us. And obviously it’s always a bit of a shot in the arm to have a new person, because they have different tunes and different ideas,” says Katz.

“Ewen is a multi-instru-mentalist and a Gallic sing-er as well, so we have quite a lot of things put on our plate to try and work out, and it’s been quite good fun.”

Katz describes their music as a mixture of songs and instrumental music that is largely traditional Irish and Scottish with bagpipes and fiddle as well as guitar.

a lot of variety“There’s quite a lot of va-

riety and quite a lot of en-ergy to the music and songs are a mixture of different things,” says Katz. “The hardest part of this kind of music is trying to get people to go, but once they do, it’s very entertaining and inter-esting and, like I said, quite a lot of energy. So once it all gets going, it’s good stuff.”

The band has spent time in the studio recently work-ing with its new four-piece lineup, as well as on the road in five-piece form.

The musicians honed their present band, includ-

ing both Reid and Hender-son, on a recently com-pleted tour of Germany and Switzerland.

“It’s new because it’s the five of us and Alan is leaving ... it’s unusual, this event for us. We play quite a lot in the States. We haven’t been in Harrisburg, but we’ve been other places nearby,

so hopefully there will be some people that know us,” says Katz. “It’s a unique op-portunity to see us on this tour.”

The Battlefield Band per-formance is presented by the Susquehanna Folk Mu-sic Society in association with the Scottish Society of Central Pennsylvania

at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Camp Hill United Method-ist Church, 417 S. 22nd St. in Camp Hill.

It is preceded by a pot luck dinner at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $22 for general admission and $10 for stu-dents, age 3-22. For more information, visit www.sfmsfolk.org.

to say it has to stop there,” Corby said. “The room was filled with a bunch of fun people. Some of those dancing were people I’ve never seen dance before. It was great.”

Sarah Taby, co-owner of Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb, noted in a press release that it’s also another way for mothers and daughters to bond while shop-ping for that prom dress — this time for the mother.

beautiful!’ That is what makes Adult Prom so special. It’s a chance for adults to take time away from their usual routines to feel young, full of life and beautiful.”

“People told us we should make sure to let them know when we would have the prom,” Corby said. “They had a great time. We even had re-quests to have it twice a year. I think we’ll just start with once a year for now.”

The night begins at 6 p.m. with the wine and brewery sampling, and the music will start at 7 p.m.

The Prom King and Queen will be crowned at 9 p.m., but the dancing doesn’t have to stop there.

This year’s Adult Prom fairy-tale theme is “Once Upon a Time.” Tickets can be pur-chased at Rillo’s, 60 Pine St., in Carlisle, or at Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb, 115 W. High St., in Carlisle.

For more information, call Rillo’s at 243-6141.

When Ashleigh Corby created Carlisle’s Adult Prom, she hoped for a lot but didn’t know what to ex-pect.

“When you start these things, you never know what you’re going to get,” said Corby, the director of marketing at Rillo’s Restau-rant. “You just plan that it will be big.”

By 11 p.m. during the first Adult Prom, Corby knew she had something worth pursuing. It didn’t take much convincing to re-team with the owners of Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb to offer the Second Annual Adult Prom, which will be held Saturday at Rillo’s in Carlisle.

The Adult Prom gives those 21 years old and old-er a chance to experience prom again while giving back to the community. The event raises money for the United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County.

“Everyone had such a wonderful time, and we were able to bring aware-ness to the crowd of what United Way of Carlisle does,” Corby said. “Last year we raised about $300, and we’re hoping to double that this year.”

Rillo’s and Miss Ruth’s help raise money for Unit-ed Way through donations and admission. Tickets for the prom are $30 and in-clude a wine and Market Cross Brewery sampling, light hors d’oeuvres, a prom picture by Jeremy Schultz,

prom favor, raffle ticket and entertainment by DJ Russ with Bob Foltz Entertain-ment.

Seating is limited, so res-ervations are required, Cor-by says.

“We’re about three-quar-ters of the way full,” she said. “We still do have some room — about 80 seats. We really want it to sell out this year. Once we do sell out, we will let people come out for the second half of the evening by making a dona-tion. We still want them to give us a call and find some way for them to enjoy the

evening.”

auctionGuests can also help raise

more money for the United Way by participating in the prom’s first Chinese auc-tion. A number of Carlisle businesses donated items

for the prom to use to raise money. Some of the items in the auction include priz-es from Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb, Rillo’s Restaurant, Market Cross Pub & Brew-ery, The Green Room, The Rolling Bead, The Clothes-Vine, California Cafe, Dave

Bender Massage Therapist and Fairfield Inn & Suites.

“So many businesses were willing to donate,” Corby said. “(The prom) is a way to raise awareness for United Way and for Carlisle businesses.”

Though the United Way

gets some funds and free publicity, the prom is also just a dance where guests can let loose, no matter what age they are.

“We saw anyone from 23 or 25 to 65, and that’s not

Gamut Classic Theatre

Philosopher disquiets fellow citizens

By BarBara TraiNiN BlaNkSentinel [email protected]

When J. Clark Nicholson read “Barefoot in Athens,” he found it a breath of fresh air. Literally and figurative-ly.

As a high school student, Gamut’s artistic director had been assigned to read Maxwell Anderson’s play about the final days and tri-al of Socrates — but had put it off till the last weekend before the due date. He was working weekends clean-ing air-conditioning units in a cotton mill, so another team member took over the cleaning duties while Nich-olson climbed into a duct and read.

“I realized we had created a democratic society — like Athens — in rudimentary form,” he says of his work group. “We had established our own society, what we agreed with and what we didn’t, and being kids, we have fiery disagreements. And here I was reading about this firebrand, who really valued democracy, but questioned its tenets and asked tough questions that didn’t really have an-swers.”

As Anderson underscores, Socrates was tried and forced to take poison be-cause he didn’t worship the local gods and “corrupted youth” — three of the men he had trained ended up as tyrants. But the core of his troubles was a commitment to free speech.

“His was the first major free-speech trial in history,” Nicholson points out. “This is a very timely message,

one we’re having a pro-tracted debate about now.”

Not much is known about the founder of Western philosophy, which would probably have pleased the man who believed the only thing known for certain is that nothing is known for certain. He wanders about with no shoes, in a ragged cloak, embarrassing his family, friends and the gov-ernment.

‘Historically accurate’“A lot of it is historically

accurate,” says Dan Burke, the Socrates of the produc-tion, “although the trial in reality took about eight hours, and in the play it takes about half an hour.”

The main characters are historically accurate as well.

Christina Closs plays Theodote, a courtesan who may have had feelings for Socrates — and is one of only two female charac-ters. The other is Xantippe (Lynde Stern), Socrates’s wife, who came down through history as a shrew — mentioned in that fa-mous Shakespearean com-edy about a woman of the same ilk who gets tamed — despite scanty evidence.

Anderson’s take is dif-ferent, that there was real love between Socrates and his wife. His play makes the point that ordinary women in Greek society were con-fined to home while only courtesans, not allowed in women’s quarters, could go where men went and speak with men on their terms.

“Xantippe thinks The-odote is an evil harlot, but they both come to a friend-ship,” Closs says.

In one unhistorical touch, Lysis is one of Socrates’s three sons. In reality he was a student; none of the philosopher’s progeny fol-lowed in his footsteps. Ly-sis is played by female actor Alex Bailey.

“He is drawn to knowledge and shows promise, but he is also rebellious,” says Bai-ley. “He and Socrates are so similar they butt heads.”

Family tiesAnderson, who also au-

thored the plays “Winter-set,” “What Price Glory?” and “Bad Seed,” lyrics and screenplays, was known for an emphasis on justice. In 1951, when he wrote “Bare-foot in Athens,” the “Red Scare” was on his mind.

“It was a time of fear of Communism, and naming names,” says Closs.

The ’50s were also time of an idealized notion of fam-ily, of “Leave It to Beaver.”

“But Socrates’ family was in chaos; they had bad man-ners. That would be a cul-tural shock for audiences,” Bailey says.

Anderson was different than many playwrights in

that he wrote in many styles, including, occasionally, blank verse. He was classi-cal in such plays as “Anne of the Thousand Days” but “modern” in this one.

In addition to their war of ideas, Socrates has a “battle of words” with his accus-er in the play and “knocks him out,” says Ian Potter, who portrays that accuser, Anytas. People would use words, and the philosopher would ask what they meant by them. He was comfort-able with uncertainty.

“Socrates was not a popu-lar man,” Potter says. “But Anytas had his ulterior mo-tives as well. He’s a military man and wants a scapegoat for Sparta taking over Ath-ens.”

Burke says many of his theater friends are com-ing from out of state to catch the play because it is “hardly ever done.” He has also found that heavy re-search wasn’t necessary for his iconic role.

“Anderson gives every-thing to the actor,” he says.

“The writing gives every-thing.”

Also appearing in the production are Jason Be-renstein, Brendan Downey, Frank Henley, Eugene Henninger-Voss, Charles Hooker, Joey Ketchum, Jeff Luttermoser, Kent McNeil-lie, Dave Richwine, Aiden Roth, Kyle Sallee, Lynde Sern, Philip Wheeler and

David Ramon Zayas.“Barefoot in Athens”

was done as a 1996 (Emmy award-winning) Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie, starring Peter Ustinov, Geraldine Page and Chris-topher Walken in his film debut.

Nicholson is also respon-sible for the scenic con-cept.

By BARBARA TRAININ BLANKSEnTinEL [email protected]

A few years after their tri-umph with “My Fair Lady,” author-lyricist Alan J. Le-rner and composer Freder-ick Loewe faced an unenvi-able challenge: Could their next musical be as good?

Audiences expected it would be. Advance sales for “Camelot” were the larg-est in Broadway history. But the show met with mixed reviews — to a large extent because of a long book that was cut later on.

Still, “Camelot,” which opened in 1960 on Broad-way, had big stars — Rich-ard Burton and Julie An-drew, as well as newcomer Robert Goulet — noted di-rector Moss Hart and mar-velous music.

The show won four To-nys, and the original cast album — featuring such gems as “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “I Loved You Once in Silence,” “What Do the Simple Folk Do” and the title song — was the coun-try’s best-selling LP for more than 60 weeks.

Based on the Arthu-rian legend as told in T.H. White’s book, “The Once and Future King,” “Camelot” concerns an idealistic king, a queen who struggled with her love for a knight and the Round Table.

The musical has enjoyed several revivals, includ-ing a touring company in 2007-2008. In May 2008, the New York Philharmonic presented five semi-staged concert versions.

‘Great show’Ed Cohn, who plays Ar-

thur in the Theatre Harris-burg production, appreci-ates “Camelot” both as a classic and a “great show,” one he is pleased to be able to interpret for today’s au-diences.

“I love the fantasy ele-ment and great dramatic value,” Cohn says. “It’s not all about the music, but about how the music and drama are intertwined.”

The actor finds a “real arc” to Arthur, “a well-written character with flaws and insecurities — who passes from a childish, whiny king-boy who acts younger than he should to the inspired king he was meant to be.”

That path is complicated by the arrival of the con-ceited but fundamentally noble Lancelot, who falls in love with the queen — and she with him. Although the affair isn’t consummated in the musical, their pas-sion and Arthur’s response throw the ideals he has set up through the Round Table

off course.“The king struggles with

righteous selfishness,” Cohn says. “Will he be a selfless king or a selfish one? Even-tually he decides, But he loses everything — his best friend, his wife, the Round Table.”

But if his original vision fails, by play’s end — in Arthur’s moving words, “Don’t let it be forgot” — it is still appreciated by gen-erations down the road.

Complex roleFor Allison Graham, who

moved to the area recently from Columbus, Ohio, via New York City, the magic in the musical is paralleled by the feeling she had being cast as Guenevere.

“‘Camelot’ is for me,” she says. ‘It’s a great role, an iconic character, in exactly the style I like to sing. And the music is so beautiful.”

The role is also one more complex than people might imagine. Guenevere is a young woman brought into an arranged marriage who comes to love her husband — but not as deeply as she feels for the dashing French knight who joins the Round Table and becomes his best friend.

Musically, Graham is hap-py the production includes one of two songs that ap-peared on the original al-bum but were later con-sidered “optional” — and that is “Take Me to the Fair.” In it, Guenevere flirts with three knights in an attempt to rile up the Lancelot she at first dislikes.

Musical director Eric Dundore says one of the challenges with “Camelot” is familiarity — “doing things a certain way.” One “way” is that Lerner and Loewe sometimes used lead actors who were not sing-ers, such as Rex Harrison

in “My Fair Lady” and, to a lesser degree, Burton in “Camelot.”

“We’re lucky to have three people who sing very well and have a good handle on the music and how to sell a song,” Dundore says.

Iconic musicM u s i c - d i r e c t i n g

“Camelot” is for Dundore the fulfillment of a longtime dream.

“This is music that is iconic, something that I’ve always wanted to do in my career,” he says. “They are all great songs.”

For director Roque Ber-langa, the opportunity to stage a “classic” such as “Camelot” is one a director jumps at.

“It’s part of our artistic heritage,” he says, “a musi-cal everyone should know about.”

In tribute to that heritage, the version audiences see on stage is “most like the

original” — though he and choreographer Gwen Ma-han have shortened a few of the processional dance numbers a bit.

“It is a long show,” Ber-langa admits. “One that spans so many years. You have to keep continu-ity while making sure the audiences understand the

passage of time. Lerner and Loewe wrote signals of this throughout.”

Graham’s assessment of the musical is simple: “It’s a romantic love story. How can you not love it?”

Rick Graybill is Lance-lot; Joe Carr is Merlyn; and Brock Meadath is Mordred, the villain.
