To finish off the evening you will definitely want to browse the wonderful gourmet dessert menu.“We decided to go with the salmon ceviche to start with and the ‘Tyler Texas’ and ‘Hawaiian rolls.’ The salmon ceviche came out first. In a word, it was ‘delicious!’ I especially loved the fresh taste of the salmon mixed with the sweet chunks of mango. I can’t wait to try this dish again. The rolls came out next and they were equally fabulous. My favorite was the ‘Hawaiian.’ It had yellowtail rolled with avocado and pineapple. It tasted summery and refreshing. The ‘Tyler Texas’ roll (shrimp tempura, cream cheese, and jalapeno, baked topped with crab mix, salmon and spicy mayo, with unagi sauce, chirachi, tempura flakes, scallions, and masago) was great too.” - Tylerites

“Red 2:” A new Adventure And Still FunStarring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins

Grade B-

If you liked the first “RED” (Retired, Extremely Dangerous) in 2010, hop on board this new caper, and you will probably have as much fun as you did then. Frank (Bruce Willis) is still just as reluctant to be pulled back into the business, but Marvin (John Malkovich) won’t take no for an answer. Moreover, his now-girl-friend Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) seems to be allying with Marvin in pulling him along. I like the way her motives include curiosity about the spy world as well as recognition that Frank needs to be occupied.

As in the first version, someone(s) is out to kill Frank and Marvin, and the intrigue takes them around the world from Washington D.C., to Paris, to Moscow, and to London. Their old sidekick Vic-toria (Helen Mirren) appears off and on, either as friend or foe - they’re not always sure which - and new characters appear: Katja (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a Russian spy; Han (Byung-hun-Lee), a South Korean paid assassin; and Bailey (Anthony Hopkins), a British scientist. They need to decipher a secret plan called “Nightshade” and then neutralize it to save millions of people.

There are the obligatory car chases, fist fights, and explosions inherent in spy films, but to make this time around a little more interesting, Han adds martial arts to the fights, and sometimes a woman is behind the wheel in the car chases. Comedy is inserted routinely, such as when Marvin puts explosives in three toilets and three lavatories in a row, making an interesting, comical water display. Sarah pro-vides many comic moments when she seamlessly slips into spy roles that are unexpected - especially for Frank, who has a hard time with her purposeful seductions of enemies. My favorite moment is when she uses that kind of persuasion to get information from someone after the others’ torture of the man doesn’t work.

Willis, Malkovich, Mirren, and Hopkins are pros who elevate any film they are in, and this one is no exception. Each has his/her own trademark persona filter through, even while giving excellent rendi-tions of their characters. Parker is refreshing in her multi-dimensional characterization of Sarah, who can be endearing, funny, or intimidating as the situation requires.

As a light, entertaining fantasy with gifted actors, “RED 2” works very well. Just don’t expect any-thing earth-shaking.

“The Wolverine:”Serves as a precursor for What Lies Ahead in the SeriesStarring Hugh Jackman, Rila Fuku-shima, Tao Okamoto, Famke Janssen

Grade: B

In the end, I am glad it was James Mangold that ended up the director of Hugh Jackman’s sixth appearance as “The Wolverine.” It was Man-gold’s decision to turn this second stand-alone Wolverine film into a sequel for “X-Men: The Last Stand.” Mangold’s experience in working with strong female characters in “Girl Interrupted” (Angelina Jolie won her Oscar under his direction) and his theme of leading men as outcasts (“Walk the Line,” “3:10 to Yuma”) provided him with the right state of mind. Jackman’s fascination with the darker comics featuring Wolverine in Japan rein-forced what Mangold wanted to do with this film. All that, combined with a unique set-up for next year’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” will have fans squealing after the credits.

We find Logan (Jackman) suffering from hor-rible dreams and endless regret after the tragic events in San Francisco, where he was forced to kill Jean Grey (Janssen), the woman he loved. The X-Men are now disbanded and the immortal Wolverine done with violence. Tracked by Yukio (Fukushima), she convinces him to return to Tokyo and say farewell to a man he saved during the bombing of Nagasaki. In Tokyo, Logan real-izes it’s more than just a farewell, and he is wanted for his mutant abilities. Wolverine is unable to just walk away from a situation that he created in the past, so attempts to do the right thing.

It’s really that final two minutes of film that makes everything prior to the credits worth watching. “The Wolverine” is an ode to “X-Men” by his apologizing for the lackluster and regret-table “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Jackman even admitted in an interview that they learned from their mistakes. Although this film moderately stands on its own, a viewer having seen the pre-vious ‘X-Men’ films certainly makes it a more rich experience. That’s not to discredit Mangold for what he has crafted here: a unique comic book adaptation that is dark, brooding, and casts the most burley of superheros in a setting surrounded by women.

Admittedly, having Janssen reprise her role as Jean Grey, “The Phoenix” for the fourth time was a selling point for me. It also serves as the film’s integral bridge to the previous films; ironically we now must say goodbye to her for a third time. Jackman is in top form here, bringing the fans exactly what they love of the hard-headed, claw-wielding mutant. Jackman continues to respect the character that is responsible for the fame he has today. Marco Beltrami (“The Hurt Locker,” “3:10 to Yuma”) delivers an appropriate and intense musical score that disappears and appears in all the right moments.

Final Thought – Surprisingly captures a bit of the essence of the previous X-Men films and serves as a precursor for what lies ahead in the series.

“Blue Jasmine”Cate Blanchett, Sally Hawkins, Alec Baldwin, Bobby Cannavale, Peter Sarsgaard

Grade A-

Not since 2007’s “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” has Oscar winner Cate Blanchett been the lead in a film. It was only a matter of time until she worked with Woody Allen (Blanchett has often been quoted that she chooses her projects by director), since she has worked

with nearly every respectable living director out there. Blanchett, who ironically hasn’t been nominated for an Academy Award since 2007, reminds us in “Blue Jasmine” about the art of challenging one’s self as she runs the gamut of emotions, particularly with peculiar faces and all sorts of uncomfortable situations. While Blanchett is certainly the entire film, Allen’s writing here is really fantastic, drawing attention to a particular contrast in the American class system.

Trying to start her life over again after the downfall of what was a per-fect marriage, Jasmine (Blanchett), out of destitution, flocks to San Fran-cisco to stay with her sister Ginger (Hawkins). While a rich house wife on Park Avenue, Jasmine never had any time for her raggedy sister, but now has nowhere to turn. Scoffing at Ginger’s grease monkey boyfriend (Can-navale), her “quaint”, tiny apartment, Jasmine complains about having no money or home and how horrible the first class service was on the way over. Jasmine can’t stop thinking about the only life she has ever known and how she is going to achieve that type of status once again.

Dark comedy is Allen’s specialty and “Blue Jasmine” is actually a quite telling commentary on two women completely opposite of each other. Throughout the film we see the Jasmine influence rubbing off on Ginger, who was pleasantly content before her narcissistic sister showed up. Allen has written Jasmine as someone we can laugh at, pity, sympathize and even feel contempt for. It’s a really colorful and dynamic character that Blanchett completely commits to. Her role in “Bandits” (2001) might have provided a little bit of preparation, but she takes this in an entirely different direction.

Hawks (“Happy Go Lucky”) couldn’t have been more perfectly cast, and the contrast between her and Blanchett on screen is pitch perfect. The rest of the cast is really good, but they only exist for Blanchett and Hawkes to play off of. The year may be only half over, but Blanchett’s performance here will be hard to beat this upcoming awards season. Allen is responsible for writing and directing Penelope Cruz, Mira Sorvino and Diane Keaton to Oscars.

Final Thought – Blanchett delivers an Oscar caliber performance.

“To the Wonder:”Something is Missing and Then i Remembered WhatBen Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams

Grade C-

It’s the shortest time in between two films since 1987, but the quick turn around since his best picture nominated “Tree of Life” hasn’t produced anything

worth getting excited for. If you hated “Tree of Life” then you won’t like this. “To the Wonder” has even less dialogue and more of the same things Terrance Malick loves: sunlight through trees, walking on water, warm embraces and lots of voice over. If you are interested in trying to make sense of what this film is about, as usual, you have to bring your own interpretations because Malick shows you the visuals and little narrative.

We first meet Neil (Affleck) and Marina (Kurylenko) in France as they explore Mont Saint-Michel, clearly in love. Marina confesses she wants to return to the States and live with Neil in rural Oklahoma. Marina brings her daughter Tatiana with her and they are happy for a time, but when Neil shows no interest in commitment, her visa expires and she is forced to return to Paris and fend for herself. Recon-necting with an old high school flame, Neil and Jane (McAdams) seem to fit each other better but he can’t commit to her either and agrees to marry Marina so she can get out of her misery in France.

Malick starkly draws a contrast between the beautiful but cold nature of Europe and the bright openness of Oklahoma; however, through the eyes of the child and Marina, we see how out of place they are. Based once more on Malick’s own experiences, “To the Wonder” seems like an episode we just don’t have all the details to. Affleck says less than three sentences through the entire film, yet just seems to represent “man”, or this unattainable idea that these desperate women must have in order to survive.

“We need to leave, there is something missing,” the daughter says to her mother about their time in America. In my opinion Malick seems to have a small, pathetic and low opinion of women and how, at least in this film, they can’t help themselves. Marina says about herself, “weak people never bring any-thing to end themselves, they wait for others to do it.” Thankfully “To the Wonder” isn’t as long winded as “Tree of Life” and all the scenes are in present and modern day, so no dinosaurs in this one. You have to be willing to go a lot, I mean a lot, further for a Malick film than even most challenging films. I just always feel like something is missing and then I remember it’s the entire narrative.

Final Thought – Another fill in the blank, collage of beautiful images that almost mean something.8 EGuide Magazine [email protected]

Movies DvD & ON DeMAND“The Company You Keep:”Something Very important to SayStarring Robert Redford, Nick Nolte, Stanley Tucci

Grade B-

Robert Redford hasn’t made a film that has knocked my socks off since 1997’s “The Horse Whisperer.” Now, at 76 years old, the Oscar-winning director (never won for acting) has a new political thriller, his first film since the panned “Lions for Lambs” in 2007. Redford keeps quite good company with a dazzling cast that would make your head spin. However, he does not make a film unless he feels he has something very important to say or offer to the world of cinema. With “The Company You Keep,” which is done without special effects and explosions, Redford reminds us that a thriller can be smart, and peels this thing like an onion. The only let down is that we know what is in that onion before the charac-ters do.

“No group was more successful in car-rying out attacks on US soil,” FBI agent Corne-lius (Howard) explains. The group was called the Weather Underground, and during the Vietnam War they protested violently, and a few of them took that violence too far. They were never caught or tried until the time the film takes place. Sharon Solarz (Sarandon) is arrested after being on the FBI’s most wanted list for over 30 years. Working the story, a beat journalist, Ben Shepard (Lebeouf), discovers that local Albany lawyer Jim Grant (Red-ford) is actually one of the other wanted members, and pushes him out of his 30-year fake identity and puts him on the run.

Screenwriter Lem Dobbs (Haywire) is no

stranger to suspense thrillers, but this screen-play, based on the novel by Neil Gordon, asks the viewer a lot of questions about right and wrong in dealing with those looking back on these crimes. One character turns a corner and says “grow up” to another member who wants to still believe in their radical actions three decades before. What Redford does so brilliantly here is cast the right actors in the right parts and that is half the sus-pense, waiting to see who pops up around the next corner. All of the actors in very small parts become huge pieces in this evolving puzzle.

The ending just left me unenthusiastic and reflecting on the film’s more implausible moments, of which there are many. Redford’s character jumps a fence, and Julie Christie, who is 72, is seen hiking up and down the mountains. This almost lends itself to some of the same jokes aimed at “The Expendables,” but I wouldn’t dare. I found LeBeouf to be the real highlight of the film, espe-cially when he speaks with Solarz about her past and asks whether she would repeat her actions. The film lacks any real “wow” factor, and in the end, the cast is the real selling point; not the story.

Final Thought – The assembly of actors is more thrilling than the thriller itself.

Tyler Civic Theater: A Fun Season With A Lot of Variety

The 2013-2014 Season has been announced and with it, much anticipation about the variety and fun that abounds.“Greater Tuna”- September 6th-15th Dinner Theater - September 10th

Greater Tuna is the first in a series of four comedic plays (followed by “A Tuna Christmas,” “Red, White and Tuna” and “Tuna Does Vegas”), each set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the “third-smallest” town in the state.

The series was written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard. The plays are an affectionate com-ment on small-town, Southern life and attitudes but also a withering satire of same. Of the four plays, “Greater Tuna” is the darkest in tone.

The plays are notable in that two men play the entire cast of over twenty eccentric characters of both genders and various ages.“Rip Van Winkle’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow”October 1st-6th

In this wickedly funny musical - fantasy adaptation of Wash-ington Irving’s classic tale of superstition and village rivalry, gawky schoolmaster Ichabod Crane fancies himself a dashing, worldly man of learning, capable of winning the heart of Katrina Van Tassel. Will this beautiful daughter of a wealthy local farmer return Ichabod’s affections, or does she have other ideas? What will be the outcome when Ichabod confronts his desires, fears, and of course, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow?“Arsenic and Old Lace” - November 1st-10th Dinner Theater - October 31st

“Arsenic and Old Lace” is a play by American playwright Joseph Kesselring, written in 1939. It has become best known through the film adaptation starring Cary Grant and directed by Frank Capra. The play is a farcical black comedy revolving around Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and local police in Brooklyn, New York, as he debates whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves. His family includes two spinster aunts who have taken to murdering lonely old men by poisoning them with a glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic,

strychnine, and “just a pinch” of cyanide; a brother who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt and digs locks for the Panama Canal in the cellar of the Brew-ster home (which then serve as graves for the aunts’ victims); and a murderous brother who has received plastic surgery per-formed by an alcoholic accom-plice, Dr. Einstein (a character based on real-life gangland sur-geon Joseph Moran) to conceal his identity and now looks like horror-film actor Boris Karloff (a self-referential joke, as the part

was originally played by Karloff).“Sin, Sex and the CIA” - January 17th-26th

Huge oil reserves have been discovered in The Chagos Islands and O.P.E.C. is pres-suring the Chagosians to join the cartel. A CIA agent, who gets caught in all his own booby traps and security measures, and an under Secretary of State, whose life appears to be run by her libido, are sent to

a safe house in the mountains of Virginia to begin negotiations for the U.S. to place the Chagos Islands under their protection. Except, no one knows who the islands’ representative really is. Could it be the stranded televangelist, his innocent secretary, the ex-marine caretaker or the mysterious neighbor? What a fun comedy!“Mary Todd”- February 4th-9th

A historical dramatization of one of our country’s most inter-esting First Ladies.“The Drunkard” - March 7th-16th

Here is a hilarious version of the immortal story of the Drunkard-the most famous melodrama ever written and the foun-dation for the hundreds of melodramas that have followed. Audi-ences are captivated by this classic as love battles liquor for the life and soul of the upstanding hero, Edward Middleton. On the side of love are sweet, innocent Mary and her ever-loving, ever-whining mamma, Mrs. Wilson. Plying the liquor with dastardly intent are cruel, scheming Lawyer Cribbs and his cringing crony, Stickler. In the end, which wins? Come see!“Lord of the Flies” - April 8th-13th

A plane crashes on a deserted island. The only survivors are a

group of school boys. They live in a land of bright exotic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are inhabited by a terri-fying beast. Before long, this well behaved group has turned into a bloodthirsty and murderous tribe.

This adaptatin of William Golding’s compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys that are marooned on a coral island, has become a modern classic.

At first the island seems as though it is all going to be great fun; but the fun before long becomes furious and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic and death. As ordinary standards of behavior collapse, the whole world the boys know collapses with them - the world of cricket and homework and adventure stories - and another world is revealed beneath, primitive and terrible. “Lord of the Flies” remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature.“Cheaper by the Dozen” - May 9th-18th

Suppose you’re an attractive high school girl and you’re not only a member of a large and unique family but your father is, in fact, one of the great pioneers of industrial efficiency.

Then suppose he decides, for no apparent reason, to apply his unorthodox methods to you and to the rest of your big family. The results are terribly embarrassing, funny and, it must be admitted, extremely effective. To Anne, however, the chief effect seems to be that of making them seem ridiculous to everyone else at school—especially to the boys.

Dad pushes ahead with better organization for his large and delightful family. While the situations are often uproarious, there’s a serious reason. Dad has a heart condition which he’s keeping secret. The children don’t understand this.

Anne, the oldest, rebels. Both Dad and she are miserable at the lack of understanding between them. Then in a deft and moving scene, Dad becomes aware of how much Anne has grown up.

Tyler Civic Theatre Center offers a “Flex Ticket” plan for $100 where you can purchase 10 tickets that can be used for any show in the season. They also offer several packages including the “Enter-tainment Season Pass” that includes 1 ticket for each production: “Greater Tuna,” “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Sin, Sex and the CIA,” “The Drunkard,” and “Cheaper by the Dozen” for $65. You can purchase the same package and add on one ticket for the dinner theater production of “Arsenic & Old Lace” for $85.

Tyler Civic Theatre Center is located at 400 Rose Park Dr., next to Tyler Rose Garden Center in Tyler. For info or tickets call (903)592-0561 or Rogers Theatre at (903)593-7827.

Box office hours are Monday - Friday, 10am-1pm; 2-5pm.

The 2013-2014 Performing Arts Season is upon us and it looks very promising!

Listed here are a few of the area’s programs along with information concerning both season tickets and individual ticket prices. Most venues offer seating charts on their websites and we have included phone numbers for the Box Offices so that you can call with questions or to purchase tickets.

The variety is quite impressive this season - we hope that you get out and see as many pro-ductions as you can!

Enjoy!


ApeX Theatre 20:Something a Little different

Although APEX has not released a formal 2013-2014 season, they are offering the following productions on their jam-packed calendar:

“Make Believe”- August 2nd-3rdBack in Tyler with more experimental theater,

the Austin-based Bottle Alley Theatre Company presents “Make-Believe,” written and directed by Chris Fontanes. The play weaves a tale of a name-less girl dying in a hospital, with no memories. Surrounded by a medical team and friends that she does not recognize, she comes to believe that this world is not truly real and that this hospital is not what it seems. In Austin’s Live Theatre, reviewer Jessica Helmke wrote “Moving, at times humorous, and intriguing, ‘Make-Believe’ by Chris Fontanes deals with important questions about reality, life, and extreme circumstances.”

“Make-Believe” will have two performances at APEX Theatre 20 @ Potter Place on Friday, August 2nd, and Saturday, August 3rd, starting at 7:30pm. Student rush tickets are space-available for $5 at 7:25pm, with advance tickets for $15 available at www.apextheatre20.com.

The play is not suitable for children. “Red Hot Patriot: the Kick-A** Wit of Molly Ivins”Friday-Saturday, August 16th-17th at 7:30pm; Sunday, August 18th matinee at 2:30pm

At the time of her death from cancer on Jan-uary 31, 2007, Molly Ivins (1944-2007) was a syndicated columnist for more than 400 newspa-pers. A self-proclaimed liberal who kept the Texas Legislature and Governor, later President, George W. Bush in her crosshairs, she was both praised

and castigated for her remarks that brought laughter to friends and foes alike.

In January 2013, APEX Theatre 20 @ Potter Place chose “Red Hot Patriot: the Kick-A** Wit of Molly Ivins,” written by Allison and Margaret Engle, as its

first evening production. The play, which pre-miered in 2010, is compiled from Ivins’ columns and is augmented with visuals from her life. The January audiences’ enthusiasm for the play has warranted bringing it back for three encore perfor-mances at 7:30pm on Friday, August 16th; and Sat-urday, August 17th; closing with a 2:30pm matinee on Sunday, August 18th.

APEX’s creative director Felicity Enas will return as director, with actors Frances Whiteside and Hannah Morris in the two-person cast. The 80-minute play has no intermission and is not suit-able for children. Due to language, parents of teen-agers should use discretion.

Other Upcoming productions include:“Rent”- Friday-Sunday, August 29th-31st

“Bohemian Variety Show: Celebration of the Goddess” - Friday, September 6th, 7:30pm – Sat, September 7, 10:30am

You’ll Want to Save the dates

2013-2014 Season Schedule is full of good productions! You will definitely want to mark your calendars and catch a few of these great productions.“Bus Stop” - Fridays-Sundays, September 27th, 28th, 29th and October 4th, 5th, 6th

Directed by Travis DriverWilliam Inge’s comedy is filled with senti-

mental characters and a slow-but-pleasant, slice-of-life storyline. It manages to charm its modern audience, if only due to our inherent longing for a simpler, more innocent past. “Bus Stop” takes place inside a street-corner restaurant in a small Kansas town about thirty miles west of Kansas City. Due to icy conditions, an interstate bus is forced to stop for the night. One by one, the bus passen-gers are introduced, each with their own quirks and conflicts. There is something beguiling about this forlorn slice of Americana, which meditates on the distances between towns and the distances between people, like an Edward Hopper painting with dialogue.“Foiled By an Innocent Maid” - Friday-Saturday, November 8th - November 9th

Directed by Linda PurcellAuditions: September 16th-17thPlayed with the asides and intensity inherent to

the genre, “Foiled by an Innocent Maid” provides a riotous afternoon for actors and audiences. There’s gloom in the Follansbee mansion since Rachel’s grandchild disappeared. She’s inconsolable. Then Faith Hopewell staggers in, babe in arms, and stays on as a maid. Rachel doesn’t want to see another baby, so Faith hides the child. Jimmy, the delivery boy, falls in love with Faith and there’s dirty work afoot as Longfellow, the villain, tries kidnapping the child. He’s foiled by Faith, Jimmy is revealed as the missing son-in-law - the baby as the family heir - and the villain gets amnesia and is sent to the Salvation Army to do good works. “The Star in Winter” - Fridays-Sundays, December 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, 15th

Directed by Travis OrrAuditions: September 30th-October 1stAn original script, written by Henderson’s

own Preston Orr, “The Star In Winter” is a heart-warming story of family, faith, and learning to live and love again. A once-renowned Broadway actor, Farris Winter, has lost his beloved wife Julie to cancer and feels his life is falling apart. He returns to live in the same small town as his daughter Maureen and his grand-children. Bitter and hope-less, he begins to relive, in his mind, the glory days of acting on stage and of life with his beloved Julie. When asked by the local Pastor to play Joseph in the upcoming Christmas pageant, Farris is faced with finding his way down a once familiar path. “The Star In Winter” promises to deliver a smile to your face and warmth to your heart during the most beautiful time of the year. “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” -February 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 28th and March 1st, 2nd

Directed by Amanda RobinsAuditions: December 16th-17th“You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” tells the

story of an average day in the life of the famous comic strip child hero, Charlie Brown. The audi-ence is introduced to the whole Peanuts gang: Pep-permint Patty, Schroeder, Lucy and Snoopy. All of the characters share their observations, largely negative, of Charlie Brown. As the play progresses, the relationships of the Peanuts characters to one another are further expanded. Lucy is infatuated with Schroeder and takes great pleasure in tor-menting Charlie Brown. Linus loves his blanket. Snoopy lives in his rich imagination. Charlie Brown is in love with a mysterious little red-headed girl. The show ends with each character listing things that for him or her equal happiness. Finally, Lucy ends up telling Charlie Brown what a good man he is, leaving a smiling, happy Charlie Brown alone on stage.“The Odd Couple” - Fridays-Sundays, May 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th, 11th

Directed by Jimmy FitzgeraldAuditions: March 3rd-4thCompulsive neatnik Felix Unger is thrown out

of his house by his divorce-bound wife. He wan-ders aimlessly through the streets of New York, toying with the idea of suicide, before gravitating to the apartment of his best friend, incorrigibly sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison. Worried that Felix will try something desperate, Oscar, himself in the process of being divorced by his wife, invites Felix to move in with him. Within a few days, this mismatched pair is on the verge of mutual murder: Felix cannot abide Oscar’s slovenliness, while Oscar is driven insane by Felix’s obsession with cleanliness. A potentially passionate evening with Oscar’s neighbors, the “coo-coo” Pigeon sis-ters, is ruined when Felix, ruminating over his wife and children, reduces the two ladies to remorseful tears. Pushed to the brink, Oscar stalks around the apartment making as big a mess as possible. There’s a laugh a second in this adaptation of Neil Simon’s hit Broadway play.“Nunsense” - Thursdays-Sundays, July 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th

Directed by Nathaniel OlsonAuditions: May 12th & 13thLaughter is a blessed event in this hilarious

musical comedy. Due to an unfortunate accident in the kitchen of the Little Sisters of Hoboken con-vent, some fifty-two nuns have gone on to their reward. Adding to the unpleasant event, the nun-nery’s coffers lack the funds to pay for a decent burial for all the sisters, leaving four of them in cold storage. Reverend Mother, however, is deter-mined to raise the cash, and decides that she and her fellow nuns will put on a talent show, in which they’ll show off their singing and dancing ability, with the proceeds going towards the Little Sisters’ funeral fund.

Mention John Berry’s name to just about any country music lover and the response will likely be, “What an awesome vocalist!” Between 1979 and 1990 John recorded and marketed six albums on his own Clear Sky Records label. Those early discs and John Berry’s strong regional popularity attracted him attention on Music Row. Capitol Records signed him in 1992 and it was there that he had a string of hits, including “Your Love Amazes Me”, “Standing on the Edge of Goodbye”, “I Think About It All The Time”, “Change My Mind”, “If I Had Any Pride Left At All”, “Kiss Me In The Car”, ‘What’s In It For Me”, and “You and Only You.” But it was his stunning performance of the title track of the 1995 CD O Holy Night that led to his most enduring legacy. John Berry began doing a Christmas tour in 1996 and this year will mark his 15th consecutive Christmas concert series. As John has grown in his walk with Christ, his calling has been to share God’s love with his audience. Moving into a new phase in his career, John’s tenor voice remains an instrument that is able to touch all our hearts.

Performing their exciting arrangements of Classical favorites with jazz and World music influ-ences, Bach to the Future is receiving rave reviews across the country. Spotlight Magazine called them, “jazz virtuosos,” The Arizona Sun proclaimed “the show is a HIT!” and Surface Magazine said the group “brought down the house!” Brothers Rob and Michael Silverman grew up in a clas-sical music household. Their father performed cello in the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for over 40 years, and their mother taught and performed cello and piano as well. They grew up one block from Matt Bollinger in St. Louis, and the three of them played music since they were kids. Over the years, they evolved from a rock band to include all the influences of their diverse surround-ings, learning jazz, reggae, blues, R&B, and more. Eventually, their classical roots began to enter the mix, and Bach to the Future was born. They added violinist Andrew Driscoll, who also has an eclectic style, performing jazz and classical equally well. One of the most downloaded solo pianists on iTunes, with over three million downloads, and a million hits on YouTube, Michael Silverman is riding the new media revolution. Andrew Driscoll has performed with Sarah Brightman, Luciano Pavarotti, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Rob Silverman has composed solo drum music for “So You Think You Can Dance” and many other TV productions. Friday, March 21st

With a “National Anthem of Rock and Roll” in their pockets, The Diamonds are more than seasoned performers. They are classic rock ’n’ roll. The original quartet rose to prominence in the 1950s and early 1960s with 16 Billboard hits including “The Stroll” and the instant, million-selling hit “Little Darlin’” which has sold approximately 20 million copies to date. The Diamonds have learned that the durability of classic rock and roll music is as much about the future as it is about the past. The newest quartet members, playing saxophone and trombone joined with piano and drums, continue to expand their audience by performing in a variety of venues and touring Europe, South America, and Asia. Three gold records…thirty-three appearances on American Bandstand…inductions into the Doo-Wop Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame… If you miss a show – you’ll be missing rock ’n’ roll history!

pat green:Without Limitations Coming to Coach’s & CowboysWhen: Friday, August 16thWhere: Coach’s & Cowboy’sTickets: Cover at door which open at 7pm

It’s impossible to know your limits without testing them.

It’s a truth that Pat Green has employed in his career, one that has propelled him to repeat-edly refashion his sound, his approach and his own perception of who he is.

He’s simultaneously a Grammy-nominated hit maker with an outsider reputation, a Texas inspiration and a mainstream country artist who can rock arena and stadium stages with the likes of Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney.

Each of those roles has its own place. But each of them is too small to define Pat Green, who after 15 years in the recording business has earned the right to be everything Pat Green can be. Without limitations.

“I’d much rather be me and comfortable in my own skin than trying to be five different guys to get to the top,” he says.

In fact, after building a reputation as an ace songwriter of his own material, Green is fighting even that limitation with “Songs We Wish We’d Written II,” a sequel to a 2001 album he recorded with longtime friend - and fellow Texan - Cory Morrow.

Stocked with music penned by the likes of Lyle Lovett, Tom Petty, Shelby Lynne and Jon Randall, the disc - Green’s first for the acclaimed Sugar Hill label - mixes country, rock and blues in a manner that defies categoriza-tion. Petty’s “Even The Losers” and Collective Soul’s “The World I Know” will be familiar to just about anyone who gives the album a listen. Others, such as Aaron Lee Tasjan’s quirky “Streets Of Galilee” and Todd Snider’s burning “I Am Too,” are introductions from the underground to a large majority of music fans.

“Songs We Wish We’d Written II” is an expansive step in Green’s ongoing development. By piecing together songs from a variety of writers, he was able to assemble an album that reflects the multiple genres that influence him as an artist. The source of the songs wasn’t as important as the quality of the music and its ability to connect with Green’s maturing sense of his craft.

“If you listen to my young music or anybody’s young music, it’s all over the place,” he suggests. “It sounds like that because the thoughts are all over the place. You were sleeping on mattresses on the floor, the TV was on a cinderblock - that’s all cool. That’s all we needed, then. Now, I’ve grown up a bit. As my life has evolved, my taste for music continues to evolve with it.”

While Green was looking for songs for the album from out-side sources, he was adamant about recording music that ultimately seemed designed specifically for him and his band. With drummer Justin Pollard co-producing, Green drew up an initial list of ten titles and recorded them during a concentrated week of sessions in Austin. They tracked another five in Tyler, Texas, then culled the best to get the final ten cuts on “Songs We Wish We’d Written II,” creating a cohesive package from disparate sources.

“We all just sat around discussing and if somebody’s idea would sound better than my idea, I’d get fixated on it,” Green says. “I would very much encourage them to bring an idea. For instance, the Walt Wilkins song ‘If It Weren’t For You,’ that was somebody else’s idea completely. There were all kinds of ideas going around from Genesis and Peter Gabriel, Colin Hay from Men at Work - all kinds of crazy stuff from the ‘80s. Of course, we ended up with Petty from 1979.”

They also ended up with a stellar list of guests. Collective Soul’s Ed Roland brings an authentic cynicism to “The World I Know;” Jack Ingram’s threads a snarling desperation into “I Am Too;” Cory Morrow adds a craggy earthiness to “If I Had A Boat;” and former Sons of the Desert member Drew Womack adds a smooth, Vince

Gill-like presence as a backing vocalist on the driving “Austin.”

Monte Montgomery provides a thick, expressive blues voice on the Allman Brothers’ “Soulshine;” and trades licks with Green’s gui-tarist, Chris Skrobot, in some of the most riv-eting moments on “Written II,” with their dueling lines careening like pinballs.

Skrobot also introduced Green to Aaron Lee Tasjan, who’s something of a new discovery on the album. Tasjan’s “Streets Of Galilee” com-bines a seemingly random parade of images into an escapist story while Tasjan makes a wry vocal appearance, adding an ethereal presence in the mold of ‘triple A’ talent Brett Dennen.

“Aaron is a super guy, an amazing talent, and he has a band in New York called ‘The Mad-ison Square Gardeners,’ so he’s obviously a very funny, very clever human being,” Green assesses. “He’s definitely the kind of writer I really enjoy listening to.”

“Galilee,” “Soulshine,” “Jesus On A Grey-hound” and the imagery in “Austin” combine to form a spiritual undercurrent on the album akin to the message of Green’s biggest hit, “Wave On Wave.” It’s appropriate - Green spent much of the last two years searching his conscience as he battles the prism of limitations that were created by his own successes in Texas, and on a national stage.

And in a way, “Songs We Wish We’d Written II” is the first chapter in the next act of his career.

“There’s a man inside of me now that didn’t used to live here, whereas there was only a boy before,” he says. “The boy was so strong and had done so much, so I’m kind of seeing things in a new way. The last couple years have really been an eye opener, much more intense and richer.”

That’s a large statement - Green’s life and career have already been filled with rich experi-ences. He’s co-written songs with Willie Nelson,

Brad Paisley, Jewel and Rob Thomas. Appeared on such national TV shows as “Austin City Limits,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Late Show With David Letterman.” He’s been hailed by “Billboard,” “USA Today,” “Esquire,” “People” and “Country Weekly.” He’s toured with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and the Dave Matthews Band.

And he’s become a concert force in his own right, regularly selling out venues from Los Angeles to New York, where he’s now sold out his last seven appearances.

All of that is impressive. But it’s also history. As much as he appreciates it, Green puts it in his place on his cover of “Even The Losers,” where he highlights a lyric that Petty obscured in the orig-inal: “It’s such a drag when you’re living in the past.”

Green may be recognized for those past achievements, but he doesn’t intend to be limited by them as he continues to progress creatively.

And that progress will come by simply testing what it means to be Pat Green.

“I want to be me,” he says. “There are so many people who live with so many masters in their lives. I really just need one.”

‘Ally Venable:’ August 24th @ XLN on 5th Ally Venable is a young guitarist and vocalist with an amazing voice and a big sound. She loves putting on a show for crowds of all sizes, whether an intimate coffee shop setting or on the big stage for thou-sands. She genuinely loves playing and performing and has begun to write original songs. Her favorite styles of music are blues and country music and her major influences are Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gretchen Wilson, Buddy Guy, Orinthia and a local band, The Darby Warren Project, who on occasion Ally performs with.‘The Truman Syndrome:’ August 17th @ Clicks LiveThe Truman Syndrome is a rock band based out of Tyler, Texas. Formed in 2009, The Truman Syndrome features former members of the bands “Within Chaos,” “Plummet,” and “Stone Circle Conspiracy.” The band released their first EP in the form of a 5-song demo in early 2010 and quickly developed a following around the East Texas area after sharing the stage with many national artists’ including HELLYEAH, Sevendust, Mushroomhead, Saliva, HedPE, Cavo, Drowning Pool, and many other regional and local artists. The Truman Syndrome released a self-titled, 6-song EP in 2012 and has had several songs on the Tyler rock station 96X, Shreveport’s 99X, and 97.1 The Eagle in Dallas including the local/regional radio singles “Lake of Fire”, “You Will Find,” and “Overcome.”

‘Brandon Rhyder:’ August 24th @ Lago Del PinoBrandon Rhyder had a vision for his “Live at Billy Bob’s Texas” and new songs were definitely a top priority. “I just didn’t want to play all previously released songs. I wanted the fans to have something different and something with some new perspective mixed in with the songs that helped get us to where we are now,” Brandon said. In this double disc set you will hear more outside written songs. Songs like “You Can’t Outdrink the Truth” by Walt Wilkins and Liz Rose; “Nowhere USA” by Keith Gattis; and “Shine” by good friend and guitarist in the band, Matt Powell.

‘Oil Boom:’ August 16th @ Stanley’s Famous BBQOil Boom has a new 7” coming out. But rather than talk about it, the trio of rock enthusiasts would prefer to wax humorous on their preferred method of music consumption. “Did we make sure this was actually seven inches of music,” asks singer/guitarist Ryan Taylor. “I don’t want to have problems from the audiophile contingent of the garage rock community.” All jesting aside, the DFW mainstays couldn’t be more excited about their latest foray into the realm of vinyl acetates and lacquer coated discs. The group is riding an impressive wave of buzz after their last EP, “Gold Yeller,” garnered a generous amount of critic praise, not to mention extensive radio play across the lower 48.

‘Miranda Day:’ August 30th @ JakesIf Miranda Day had to be described in one word, it would be survivor. She is a survivor of abuse, heartbreak, depression, financial woes and health issues. In her words, “God redeems all he allows. He gives me the strength to overcome so I can share my story and help someone else get through being in the same place.” Miranda began expressing herself musically at the tender age of four. According to her, “I used to constantly carry around my old, beat-up Playskool cassette recorder and I would have the micro-phone up to my mouth singing along.” Music became her comfort during tough times as a child. She took piano lessons at age seven, and played flute in the school band. She also performed in 20 local theater productions. Miranda released her debut album, “Broken

and Bright” in late 2012 after taking a break from her solo project to finish college and play in bands. “Broken and Bright” is a tale of finding hope even in the darkest places. The songs detail her experi-ences with abuse, stalking, heartbreak, and being judged. The album was a year-and-a-half long labor of love that she (with the help of a close friend) wrote, produced and recorded. She is currently at work on her second album. Her performance at Jakes will be one you won’t want to miss.

‘Heather Little:’ August 15th @ The RackHeather Little was born in north-central Texas, and grew up around Austin and Dallas and all the music that thrives there. She is the co-writer of “Gunpowder and Lead” and “Me and Charlie Talkin’,” both recorded by Miranda Lambert; Sunny Sweeney’s “Helluva Heart;” and “Minefield,” on Travis Mead-ows’s album “Killin’ Uncle Buzzy.” And now you can hear more of her songwriting on Lindsey Harding’s album “Sound of My Heart” (including the title track). “I just want to make good music. Whether it’s rock or country or blues or earthy acoustic, good music moves people. That’s what it’s about for

me. I write songs about my life and real life things; even the hard stuff. We live real lives. I write real songs about that.” Heather Little will perform one concert at The Rack, starting around 6pm.

‘Kolton Moore & The Clever Few’s:’ August 16th @ The Half Moon Grill & SaloonDark. Soulful. Powerful. These words have been used to describe Kolton Moore & The Clever Few’s unique style of Texas Rock & Roll. Kolton Moore drew together a tight group of talented friends in the spring of 2012 to begin a musical journey that has taken him across Texas and beyond. His band includes Chip Devila on bass, Aaron Dowd on drums, and Ryan Wilcox on lead guitar. After releasing a 4 track EP to critical acclaim in

early 2012, the band immediately began attracting attention in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas country music scene with their fresh and bold approach to songwriting and energetic live performances. The live shows swing between lively and rocking to slow and beautiful, often in the same song.

east Texas Community Food Coalition:The Fair Market Moves to the downtown Square in Tyler

The East Texas Community Food Coalition is proud to announce The Fair Market, Tyler’s truly local farmers and artists market, is moving to the T.B. Butler Fountain Square in Tyler for the fall season. Beginning August 1st, the market will be open every Thursday, rain or shine, from 4-7pm. Members at the open-air market will offer fresh-picked fruits and vegetables, honey, free-range eggs, grass-fed beef, pastured chicken, locally roasted and brewed coffee, and hand-crafted art.

Beginning September 1st, the market will add a variety of baked goods, jams and jellies, pickles, canned goods, as well as nut and fruit butters to the market offerings. Food Coalition Founder and Market Director Carmen Sosa stated the aim of the market is to “provide our community with a fun, family-friendly place to buy fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables and to support our local farmers, food artisans and artists.”

Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers for WIC participants will continue to be accepted through September at The Fair Market on the Square. According to Ms. Sosa, the Food Coalition is working diligently with the Northeast Texas Public Health District and the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

First Baptist Church has generously designated two large parking lots on South Ferguson, just one block west of the market, for market customers.

The mission of the East Texas Community Food Coalition is to encourage good health through better access to fresh and delicious food, and to support sustainable agriculture, community place-making, and our local economy.

If you are interested in participating at the market as a vendor, artist, musician, or volunteer, please use the contact form at www.foodcoalition.org.

Caldwell Zoo 2203 W. Lincoln St., Tyler, (903)593-0121

Caldwell Zoo has two capybaras—Shock, our male who came to us from the zoo in El Paso, and Penny, our female who came to us as a donation from the San Antonio Zoo. On September 10th, Shock and Penny became the proud parents of two youngsters— a male named Max and a female named Marlo. Now these two parents have four new babies! These cute little ones are growing fast and very active. Check them out - they, along with their parents, are in the South American exhibit with the anteaters.

Caldwell Zoo is a great thing to do this summer for the whole family.

There’s no excuse to be bored. Nope. None.Now at over 300 locations. Here are a few to choose from...

And now, For A Word From Our president....By Gini Rainey

“The Amateur - Barack Obama in the Whitehouse” by Edward Klein3 out of 5 Stars

First let me say that I am not much into politics and chose this because it was out of my comfort zone and also a recently published book. It was a dif-ficult book for me to read and many times I had to set it aside because it either was so overwhelming or I was having a hard time trying to decide how much truth was being carried in Klein’s words.

Edward Klein, who has written books about the Kennedys and Hillary Clinton, holds a masters degree in journalism from Columbia University. He has served as foreign editor of “Newsweek” and editor-in-chief of “The New York Times Magazine” and has written books that have been on the New York Times Bestseller list.

It would seem that Klein has done his homework on Obama, based on the numerous first-hand quotes included in his book. I must say, that just about every name you have heard associated with Obama is mentioned in this book, complete with an index of those names at the end if you want to reference quotes that are used in the book to support Klein’s title.

The general premise of Klein, and one that he goes to great lengths to support, is that Obama is in way over his head as Presi-dent of the U.S. That’s not to say he completely blasts the President, only that, according to Klein, Obama was both completely inexperi-enced and ideologically far to the left of Americans when he entered the White House. And he was so arrogant that he didn’t even know what he didn’t know.

Apparently Klein has the reputation of being able to get the inside scoop on everyone from the Kennedys to the Clintons and pulls no punches in revealing never-before-published details about the Obama administration’s political inner workings and personal influences that hold a great deal of power over Obama.

From Obama’s conceited and detached demeanor, to his detri-mental reliance on Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett’s advice, to the Obamas’ extravagant and out-of-touch lifestyle, “The Amateur” reveals a president whose blatant ignorance and incompetence is sabotaging himself, his presidency, and America.

“The Amateur” is probably a book that not too many liberals will embrace and one that conservatives will wave over their heads and say “See? We told you so!” I would imagine that, depending which side of the fence you are sitting on, you might want to read this book to fuel political conversations you might have in the future. But, I promise you, you probably won’t feel very good about our country’s leaders when you close the book after the final chapter.

Copyright 2012 - Regenery Publishing, Inc.“Inquests: Living With the Dead” by Judge Thomas Mitchell Shamburger5 out of 5 Stars

When I first met Mitch Shamburger, he was hosting karaoke

night at Fat Catz restaurant in Tyler, Texas, and filling in the dead air during the times when no one was brave enough to take a turn at the mic. I had no idea who he was, only that when he sang his voice carried a rich, country sound comparable to Willie Nelson. I

also noticed that he had a few books titled “Inquests: Living With the Dead” by Judge Thomas Mitchell Shamburger stacked next to his equipment. Now, I’ve already confessed to you that I am a huge fan of forensic novels, and I have to admit that I was intrigued by the title. It wasn’t long before I was the proud owner of a copy of the book and I set about digging into the contents. Besides, this book was not a novel and it involved the lives of real people, some whose stories I already knew!

What I soon learned about Mitch is, not only does he possess a smooth, country voice, but he also is the Justice of the Peace for Smith County’s Precinct 4. A life-long resident of Winona, Texas, the Judge not only has first-hand knowledge of the precinct’s locale, but also its people.

Mitch does any exemplary job of weaving his own life’s experiences into the fabric of the details sur-rounding the inquests that he has performed. His writing has the unique ability to lead the reader, not only to the place of the crime, but also through the story behind the yellow crime scene tape that brought the victim under the jurisdiction of the judge’s sensi-tive eye.

Mitch’s attention to the details surrounding his inquests could have become cut-dried and bland, but because of his sensitivity to human nature and spirit, “Inquest” comes across as a heart-felt retelling of the incidents and how they relate to him and what he knows best. He doesn’t linger on the blood and guts of the death, but more on the who and why behind the death. From people who were just passing through Smith county, to close family members, Mitch, as county coroner, “brings their stories back to life by mas-terly infusing his reality, humor, and his own history.”

If you are a resident of Smith County, and even if you’re not, I would strongly recommend reading this book to gain a better under-standing of what the life of one of our JP’s is like and perhaps gain a better understanding of the unique people who populate our county.

Copyright 2011 - Proven Justice Inc.“Feasting on Asphalt - The River Run” by Alton Brown 5 out of 5 Stars

I’m a cookbook junkie. I have over 500 cook books in my col-lection and I am a sucker for celebrity and regional cookbooks. This one is the best of both worlds. Written by Alton Brown of “Food Network” fame and photography by Jean-Claude Dhien, this book covers the south to north journey of Alton and his motorcycle-mounted crew following America’s first “superhighway:” The Missis-sippi River. Starting at the great river’s delta at the Gulf of Mexico and following it for over a thousand miles to its headwaters at Lake Itasca in Minnesota, Alton and his comrades scouted the very best of road side food and got to know the great people who cook and serve it.

From the ‘New Orlean’s Mulate’s Bread Pudding’ and ‘Baton Rouge’s Red Beans, Rice,’ and ‘Fileto St. Paul’s Swing Omelette’ and the dreaded ‘Lutefisk,’ this cookbook contains the culinary delights, road stories and tales from people along his way north along the Mississippi River as well as great roadside trivia.

The fold-out map inside the front cover shows points of interest along their way and the photos, tales and side notes that add to the culinary and road experiences of the group. The book is a treasure trove of mid-America information and was a delight to read.

Copyright 2008 - Stewart, Tabori & Chang“The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry”by Rachel Joyce4 out of 5 Stars

This novel, set in modern day England, is about recently retired Harold Fry who receives a letter from a dying friend who is in a hos-pice over 500 miles away from his home in Kingsbridge. He writes

a letter to her, walks out of the house to post it and begins on a walking journey to see his friend before she dies. The further he goes from his home, the more introspective he becomes about the many events of his life that have brought him to this point. He realizes that he wasn’t so much walking towards his dying friend as much as he was walking away from himself.

His chance encounters with the people he meets along the way and his interactions with them change his views of his own life almost as much as they change the lives of those he meets. Harold realizes that the truth about people is nothing at all like the percep-tions that one experiences of them upon first encounters. He finds that most people are just like himself, with unique pains that aren’t noticed when passing them on the street.

Harold has left behind his wife Maureen, who initially is angry at being abandoned. But over the course of Harold’s absence, she also comes to realize the many truths about herself that have helped to drive a wedge between herself and Harold. As Harold’s journey pro-gresses, his memories of tragic life events unfold and help to move the story along to a fine ending.

This novel should be read with introspection and inspiration. The lessons that Harold and Maureen learn during their separation would be well learned by all of us - that life isn’t a race, it’s about the journey and if we can’t accept what we don’t know, there really is no hope.

“Cars Are Art” Competition:A First Time Kind of event for Tyler

The Tyler Museum of Art is issuing a call for entries for its first-ever Juried “Cars Are Art” Com-petition that will take place on Saturday, August 24th. Vehicle owners may enter their cars in one of eight competition categories: Pre-1940s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and Post-2000.

Cars will be judged on overall presentation and aesthetics, not originality or modifications. All engine hoods and car doors will be closed. A jury of art professionals will perform the competition judging.

The first-place winner in each category will receive an artistically crafted trophy. The entry chosen as the Best of Show “Cars Are Art 2013” winner will receive the Grand Prize trophy and may be exhibited in the TMA lobby for two weeks following the competition.

Registration deadline is August 18th. Entry fee is $100 per vehicle; price includes lunch and a Blue-Plate Special Party following the awards pre-sentation from 5:30-7:30pm. Parking will be avail-able for car trailers. This fun event will be held at the Tyler Museum of Art’s parking lot. Public admission is $15 for adults, and free for children 12 and under. Concessions will be available for pur-chase throughout the day. Blue-Plate Special tickets are $25 per person, and available at the Museum. (Reservations required). For more information about this event, please contact (903)595-1001.

eventsBy August 2nd - OPAL: Outdoor Public Art on Loan Call for Entries - The City of Tyler Main Street Department has announced the launch of its new Outdoor Public Art on Loan (OPAL) project. The project will result in the exhibit of six large works of sculpture throughout the downtown area. The Main Street Department, in cooperation with the Downtown Tyler Arts Coali-tion (DTAC) and Heart of Tyler, Inc., has issued a Request for Proposals to sculptors throughout the area. Exhibit sites were chosen by a DTAC volunteer committee comprised of sculptors, architects, landscape architects and others. A jury will select the six pieces that go on display. Pieces will be installed in September and remain in place until July 2014. Each artist whose work is selected will receive a $1,000 stipend and be honored at an opening reception on October 4th at Gallery Main Street. Digital submissions are due to Gallery Main Street, which is managed by the Main Street Department and DTAC, by August 2nd. Artists will be notified of selections by August 13th, and plans have been made to have artwork in place by September 20th. The October 4th reception at Gallery Main Street will serve as the official opening of the project.Through October 20th - Deco Japan: Shaping Art & Culture, 1920–1945 will continue through October 20th at the Tyler Museum of Art. Between the two World Wars, when 20th-Century modernism established a firm hold in the realm of fine art, Art Deco emerged as a cultural, as well as artistic, movement. Permeating into creative forms as diverse as graphic design and architecture, the movement informed the social fabric from fashion to cinema across the globe – perhaps nowhere more prominently than in Japan. Encompassing close to 200 objects and

prints, “Deco Japan: Shaping Art & Culture, 1920–1945” is one of the first large-scale museum exhibitions to spotlight the development of this vastly influential phenomenon. This exhibition is particularly remarkable in that, despite the diverse array of objects and the far-reaching influences they represent, it is drawn from a single collec-tion. Admission is adults, $7; seniors and students, $5; and children (12 and under). Admission is free. TMA is open Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm; Sunday 1-5pm; and closed Mondays. Call (903)595-1001.Friday-Saturday, August 2nd-3rd - “Make Believe” - Back in Tyler with more experimental theater, the Austin-based Bottle Alley Theatre Company presents “Make-Believe,” written and directed by Chris Fontanes.
