WORLD PREMIERE OF “LOS OTROS” OPENS AT TAPER SUNDAY, JUNE 3

MUSICAL BY ELLEN FITZHUGH AND MICHAEL JOHN LACHIUSA
FEATURES JULIO MONGE AND MICHELE PAWK
“Los Otros” Continues Through July 1, 2012

The world premiere of the beautifully crafted musical “Los Otros” opens Sunday, June 3 at 7 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/Mark Taper Forum. With book and lyrics by Ellen Fitzhugh and music by Michael John LaChiusa, “Los Otros” features Tony Award-winner Michele Pawk in the role of Woman and Julio Monge in the role of Man. “Los Otros” will continue performances through July 1, 2012.
Directed by multiple Tony Award-nominee Graciela Daniele, “Los Otros,” with its distinctly Californian stories that span several decades, was commissioned by Center Theatre Group.
The first act depicts three defining moments in the life of a Southern California woman, all of them involving chance encounters with Mexican immigrants.  The second act introduces us to a Mexican- American man, first as a 12-year-old picking plums in a Central Valley orchard during WWII and finally as a 75-year-old whose mind is failing him.  What is revealed about both are the gifts and devotions that have shaped their lives.

Michele Pawk’s Broadway credits include “Hollywood Arms,” for which she won a Tony Award, “Hairspray,” “Losing Louie,” “Mamma Mia!” and “Cabaret” (Drama Desk and Outer Critics’ Circle nominations). In addition to numerous off-Broadway and regional credits, she can be heard on eight original cast recordings, plus several compilation albums and books on tape.

Julio Monge’s Broadway credits include “Twelfth Night,” directed by Nicholas Hytner, Paul Simon’s “The Capeman,” “Jerome Robbins’ Broadway,” “Chronicle of a Death Foretold,” “Fosse,” “Man of La Mancha” and “Victor/Victoria.”  He also appeared nationally and internationally in “Aurelia’s Oratorio,” directed by Victoria Thierre Chaplin.

Ellen Fitzhugh has created lyrics for the musicals “Herringbone” (winner of Chicago’s Jefferson Award), “Big Blonde,” “Paper Moon,” “Muscle” with James Lapine and William Finn, “Grind” (Tony Award and Drama Desk nominations) directed by Harold  Prince,  and “Paradise Found” directed by Prince and Susan Stroman. She collaborated on the title song for MGM’s “That’s Dancing,” on songs for Disney’s animated feature film “The Great Mouse Detective,” and has written lyrics for the baseball revue “Diamonds,” Joel Grey’s “Tricks of the Trade,” the theme song of Arthur Kopit’s play “End of the World” and additional lyrics for Anthony Newley’s “Chaplin.” She is also working with Michael John LaChiusa to develop the musical “Blood and Oatmeal.” She received an Emmy nomination for a song from PBS’ “Shining Time Station.”

Michael John LaChiusa wrote the music and lyrics and co-wrote the book for “The Wild Party,” which received Tony nominations for musical, original musical score and book.  He also received Tony nominations for book and score for “Marie Christine.”  From 2011 to 2012, LaChiusa will have premiered three new musicals: “Queen of the Mist” (book, music and lyrics) produced by the Transport Group in New York; “Giant,” (book by Sybille Pearson), premiering at the Dallas Theater Center and co-produced by the Public Theater; and “Los Otros.”

 

LaChiusa’s other works include “Chronicle of a Death Foretold,” (Tony nomination for Best Book),  “Bernarda Alba,” “See What I Wanna See,” “The Highest Yellow,” “Little Fish,” “Hello Again” (Obie Award), “First Lady Suite” (Obie Award) and “Break/Agnes/Eulogy for Mister Hamm.” His operas include “Send (who are you? I love you)” at Houston Grand Opera and “Lovers and Friends (Chautauqua Variations)” at Lyric Opera of Chicago. He received two Emmy Awards for “The Wonder Pets.”

Thursdays at 9 PM ET/PT Beginning June 7

A-Listers Including Kelly Rowland, Brandy, Laila Ali, Garcelle Beavais, Omarosa 

and More Take Their Turn in the Chair in this WE tv Original

In the glitz and glam of Hollywood, stunning hairstyles are a way of life and Kim Kimble is the go-to stylist for A-List celebrities when they need a red carpet coif or an emergency "do." In her new series L.A. HAIR, premiering Thursday, May 31 at a special time 10 PM ET/PT with eight, one-hour episodes, viewers follow Kim as she manages her team of talented, yet high-strung stylists - including her mother Jasmine - as they make over Hollywood's elite, one strand at a time. Working in close quarters proves intense for her staff as they often bicker and joke like family yet struggle to meet Kim's standards of professionalism. Divas Kelly Rowland, Brandy, Laila Ali, Garcelle Beavais, Omarosa, Mary Mary, Kym Whitley, Mikki Taylor, Shari Headley and Kim's other bold-face named clients are featured in the series. After the premiere, new episodes of L.A. HAIR will air in its regular timeslot Thursdays at 9 PM ET/PT (beginning June 7). Photos available for download at press.wetv.com

In L.A. HAIR, viewers will meet Kim's salon family - stylists Angela, Dontay, Terry, China, mom Jasmine, as well as Kim's assistant Anthony and receptionist Charity. Throughout the season, Kim finds herself questioning the commitment of some of her stylists, including an overly-eager Angela who goes behind Kim's back in attempt to steal her clients; the sassy China who is so dramatic it drives Kim nuts; and her assistant Anthony, who doesn't seem to know where his loyalties should be. Add to the mix Kim's headstrong mom Jasmine who has her own ideas on how the salon should be operated and you've got the perfect recipe for drama. If that isn't enough to make her head spin, Kim's lease expires before her new salon is finished, forcing her to find another space before she and her stylists are evicted. As the heart and soul of the operation, Kim spends her days juggling her vast celebrity clientele and growing a business in addition to carving out time for her personal life. But her biggest challenge may be dealing with the sometimes inflated egos of her staff - that's when the competition behind the chair becomes fierce and the scissors come out.
 
L.A. HAIR is produced for WE tv by 3 Ball Productions, an Eyeworks company, and executive produced by JD Roth, Todd Nelson, DJ Nurre and Heidi Dahmen. Suzanne Gladstone is the Executive Producer and Lauren Gellert serves as Senior Vice President of Original Production and Development for WE tv.

RIHANNA STARS IN BATTLESHIP

R&B singer Rihanna is starring in, Battleship, her first feature film.  She took time out to answer some questions about working on the film.

Q: What characteristics do you share with your character?
RIHANNA:  I think mostly being one of the boys.  I really liked that.  I was used to that, growing up with my brothers, and all my cousins.  It was rarely any girls around, and I guess I kind of - it didn’t feel out of place. 
Q: Did all of your video acting help this process or was it totally new, learning marks and timing?
RIHANNA: I thought it would help.  But little did I know, it was a completely different beast.  It was brand new, and it was a whole different experience.  It was a much bigger set.  I had to use dialog and I never really use that in my videos; it’s usually just me acting to a track, a musical track.  So that was different.  Having an accent, too. 

RIHANNA KICKS BUTT IN 'BATTLESHIP'

Q: Did you have fun in between takes?
RIHANNA:  I think, I don’t know about fun.  I was really locked in to the character.  We went to the beach a couple of times, but most of the fun was on set, doing the actual shooting, and using the weapons.  That was some of my favorite parts, all the stunts and the fighting scenes.  Those were my favorite parts.  So that, most of the fun was actually the work.
Q: You could have chosen any role to be your first movie.  What attracted you to this role?
RIHANNA:  I liked that it was something a little removed from my real life.  And I liked that it was a part that wasn’t glamorous.  But most importantly, it was a small enough role that I could pull off for my first movie.  And working with Peter Berg as a director, I mean, I felt pretty safe. His enthusiasm was - it made me trust him.  I believed that he could really pull it out of me. 
Q: Do you actually believe that there is intelligent life in outer space?  And if so, would you imagine them to be more hostile, or more peaceful?

RIHANNA ON THE SET

RIHANNA:  Yeah, I’m still very open on that matter.  I’m not really sure, because I haven’t done enough research to really say how I feel.  But - who knows.  I would like to know.  I really would, so I’m gonna do some homework, and maybe I could give you a better answer another time.
Q: Can you talk about what you learned from Peter as your director, and working with Taylor?
RIHANNA:  Well, Peter Berg, he’s very spontaneous and fearless.  He, he pushed me a lot, and he threw me out there, right away from Day One.  I didn’t even have a chance to really think about what I was doing.  I was right out into the scenes.  And the first day, I had no lines.  So I didn’t have any lines prepared, I was just in character.  And then all of a sudden, I was like twelve lines in, in my first scene.  So I liked that, the improv.  I had to learn that really, really quickly.  Taylor Kitsch, I mean, he was - I watched him a lot.  I watched a lot throughout the shooting.  Even when I didn’t have to shoot my scenes, I would kind of watch his scenes being shot, just to pick up on things and see how he interprets Pete’s instructions.  And he was very helpful, too, throughout.  In between takes, he would come over and give me little tips, because he really understood what Pete wanted me to get - which was good.

Q: Transitioning from singing to acting, what would you say was your biggest obstacle?  What were some of the harder things, and what were some of the things that came easy to you?
RIHANNA: I guess for me, singing is - it’s kind of like a diary; it’s kind of like - well, not kind; it’s my real life.  And you play yourself every day, and you don’t have to think about it.  And acting, you have to embody an entire character, right to the core.  You, you have to get in their mindset.  You have to think, kind of figure out how they think and they will react to certain things.  I’m not used to that, so that was definitely challenging. 
Q: What are you going to miss most about playing your character?
RIHANNA:  The guns.  The weapons.  That was my favorite part of shooting.  I had a great time.  I felt like the ultimate bad-ass, and I would have never had those experiences, had it not been for shooting this film.  So that was definitely fun to play, play that.
Q: What did you learn about yourself in the process of making this film?
RIHANNA:  I actually learned a lot about myself.  I mean, I had to delve into, you know, different emotions and things that I had been avoiding, I guess, not even knowing, you know.  I guess I put up this face, and I don’t want people to see me, you know, weak or anything, or vulnerable.  So I did that for so long that I kind of had to break that down.  And it really taught me a lot about myself.  So it, it was a great experience.

Q: How did you physically prepare yourself for the physical aspect of the film?

RIHANNA: I worked with a soldier, and he was like - I mean, I hate saying this about him, but he really was psychotic.  He really broke me down.  And he had no, no remorse.  Like, it was just like I was a soldier right out there in war.  And he wanted to have that emotional connection to the character, so - I mean, at one point I got so scared of him that every time he would come over to train, I would hide all my high heeled shoes.  I would hide my pink I-Pod.  Anything that was girly or out of character, I had to kind of just get, get it away.  And that really helped.  He trained me a lot, a lot of push-ups, a lot of sandbags and weights.  And on set, I did a lot of training with a female soldier, who’s a real weapons officer.  And she taught me a lot about weapons and drills, and my whole etiquette, body language.
Q: Did you get a chance to do any improv in the film?  You sang a little while on the ship.  So I was wondering, was that written in the script, or is it something that you did on your own?
RIHANNA:  A lot of the dialogue and the in between things like that, the singing, really were spur of the moment.  Pete made us do so much nonsense, like the Kentucky Fried Chicken - like, he made me - he bought like a chicken.  Like, it was awful.  He makes you do the craziest things.  And you just never mind what he’s gonna keep.  So you just have to kind of keep your fingers crossed.  But a lot of it’s improv.  And he kind of just makes you go there, and he feeds you, feeds you, feeds you in energy, gets you really angry and then make you say a line, and you tag back.  And it was really helpful to play like that.  It was a good learning experience.

THE ALIEN

Q: If you were on that boat, how would you personally have handled that situation?
RIHANNA:  The exact same.  What do you think?  No, I mean, who knows.  I might have jumped ship.  That’s some intense stuff.  Me see an alien?  I don’t know what I, what would be my first instinct. 
Q: Have you thought about putting music on hold for a little bit, just to pursue movies?
RIHANNA:  I don’t think music could ever be on hold for me, because it’s something that I love to do.  So even if it’s - there’s not a deadline or a specific project, I will always feel empty not making music.  I will always get that bug and - even right now, I’m still going a little crazy.  Like, I can’t wait to go in the studio, just to play and play around with songs.  And I can do that, because that, it doesn’t become work for me.  So I am gonna make time to do some more films.  I really liked my first experience with Battleship, so I’m looking forward to doing more.  But I can’t say goodbye to music.  I can’t say that’s what’s happening.

5 QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER LOPEZ ON ‘WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING’

Five couples are in various stages of adding a bundle of joy to their lives in the Lionsgate comedy, What To Expect When You’re Expecting, opening May 18 nationwide.

The film, directed by Kirk Jones and inspired by the New York Times bestseller of the same name written by Heidi Murkoff, boasts a huge cast that includes Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Elizabeth Banks, Rodrigo Santoro, Matthew Morrison, Anna Kendrick, Ben Falcone, Brooklyn Decker and Chace Crawford.

In the film a TV fitness Guru (Cameron Diaz) and dance show star Evan (Matthew Morrison), must make a decision about their high-octane lives and how it will change once their baby arrives.

Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) and her husband, Gary (Ben Falcone), seem to be in competition with his race car icon father (Dennis Quaid) and his young, sexy wife (Brooklyn Decker), who are also expecting something from the stork.  Rival food truck chefs Rosie (Anna Kendrick) and Marco (Chace Crawford) hook-up only to get the shock of their lives. And then there’s Holly (Jennifer Lopez), who, along with her husband Alex (Rodrigo Santoro), has decided to adopt a baby from Ethiopia.

I recently caught up with the cast at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills. Lopez, who was looking fresh and invigorated, discussed her role, her career and her life.

Q: What did you think about the book?

JL: I found the book to be so incredibly accurate while I was pregnant. I can see why everybody has this book and why it‘s the first thing you get when you find out you’re pregnant.  Because It just takes you through everything.  When you get pregnant, it’s the type of thing everyone is talking about your whole life, but you know nothing about when it’s happening to you.

Q: What do you like about the book?

JL: This book helps you, like, not freak out. It’s like, this is happening, you are feeling this way. This is what’s happening inside your body right now.  This is where you should be. It helps you to calm down as an expectant mom.

Q: You’ve got a lot happening in your life.

JL: It feels good, I’m a little tired. I’m not going to lie.  I’ve been rehearsing, doing ‘Idol’, promoting, it’s a lot of stuff, the kids. But I feel really in the zone. I feel good about everything. Everything is going really well. I feel really blessed, I do.

JENNIFER LOPEZ and RODRIGO SANTORO

Q: Your character and her husband decide to adopt. What are you feelings about adoption?

JL: It’s funny, you know, before the movie I never really thought about adoption at all. I always just wanted to have my own baby. I was so focused on that it took me a while to have my own.  But after the film and during the making of the film when I held those two little Ethiopian twins. You fall in love instantly. It really occurred to me, I can see how someone could do this, how it’s so easy to embrace a child who has nothing. It’s really a beautiful selfless act of love. You go, ‘ok I understand  these feelings. I get this.  I know how this happens.’

Q: You spent a lot of time with babies while shooting this film.  Have you thought about having more children?

JL: I mean, it would be a blessing. Right now I’m really focused on just doing it right with those two. I have my hands full.

What To Expect When You’re Expecting is rated PG-13; running time: 110 minutes.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CAMP LOGAN

There is a military installation occupying rehearsal hall 4B on the fourth floor of the Los Angeles Theatre Centre (LATC), where several colored soldiers from the 24th U.S. infantry, formerly known as Buffalo Soldiers, are going through drills, arranging their bunks, cleaning their weapons and flapping their jaws about their prowess with women.

Some of their discussion is about the disrespectful way they’re being treated by white civilians in Houston, TX, where they are bivouacked. They speak openly about how they mistakenly had the idea that joining the military would gain them a level of respect not afforded a colored civilian. They also talk about the daily battles they have to endure to maintain a modicum of dignity. Little did they know that on Aug. 23, 1917, they would become entrenched in a violent race riot that would result in the death of four soldiers and 16 civilians. There would be three courts-martial, 19 soldiers would be executed and another 41 would be given life sentences for their participation.

This is only a rehearsal, but this true, historic moment about the proud and brave men of the 24th and what came to be called the Houston riots or Camp Logan riots, is vividly told in Celeste Bedford Walker’s drama, “Camp Logan,” now playing at LATC. 

The show, presented as a reading last May in Theatre 2 of LATC, is presented by Robey Theatre Company (Ben Guillory), Sparkling City Entertainment (Alex Morris and Vanessa Paul) and JuVee Productions (Academy Award-nominated actress Viola Davis [The Help] and husband Julius Tennon) in association with Latino Theater Company.

 As the story goes, it’s 1917 in Houston, Texas. A couple of white police officers reportedly drag a colored woman from her home and begin beating her in front of her five children. When a colored soldier tries to intervene, he, too, is beaten. When he returns to his base to relay the incident, about 154 soldiers from the 24th United States Infantry marched from their bivouac at the construction site of Camp Logan to the west end of Houston. There, they were met by Houston police, other military units and armed citizens. But, it was more than just that one incident that set off the soldiers.

Things had come to a head after this all-colored regiment had endured weeks of harassment from the city police and white civilians. The fire was fueled when a sergeant and his men learned that the regiment would not be sent to France. There are varying accounts regarding how many soldiers were involved, beaten, sentenced, etc. The story of Camp Logan is not widely known, however, it goes without saying that what happened is a dark moment in American history.

VIOLA DAVIS

“I did not know the story of Camp Logan and am not at all surprised that I did not,” says Viola Davis, who is currently in New Orleans working on a movie. “History is so vast and has been reinterpreted and filtered to such a degree that there are some stories you just shrug off....or never pursue. I think any story involving African Americans and the expansiveness of our history should be told. It reminds us of the cost of the freedoms we enjoy today and also reminds us about the importance and repercussions of insurrection. This is American history.”

MORRIS GETS DIRECT

As the performers go through their paces, like a proud father, the show’s director, Alex Morris (All My Sons), arms folded and eyes focused, moves effortlessly around the rehearsal hall as his actors Sammie Wayne IV, Dwain A. Perry, Dorian C. Baucum, Bill Lee Brown, Kaylon Hunt (making his LA stage debut), Jacob Sidney, and Curtis Lee Stansberry, bring the show to life.  Sidney, who plays Captain Zuelke, is the only cast member who did not participate in last year’s reading.

Occasionally Morris, who is also an actor, nods approval. Adding atmosphere at various points in the show he lends his voice to that of a white, boisterous, raucous crowd spewing racially charged slurs.

“Good, that was good,” says Morris at the end of Act 1. “Take 10. That was good.”

ALEX MORRIS

An admitted theater fanatic, at one time Morris was simultaneously appearing in All My Sons at the Matrix, while rehearsing for No Chance In Hell at Theatre Theater and directing Camp Logan. He has a long relationship with Camp Logan and the playwright.

In 1988 Morris, who is from the Houston area, appeared in the original production of Camp Logan.

“We toured it on military bases,” says Morris, who played a character named Franciscus. “Sometimes we would do the show at 9 a.m.  Do you know how hard it is to get young men up that time of morning to do a show?”

The last time he actually performed in Camp Logan was 1991. However, since that time Morris has wanted to mount his own production.

“When I first met Alex, all he did was talk about this play,” says Morris’s wife, Vanessa Paul, an actress and publicist who is also one of the producers. “He was excited about the soldiers and how wonderful they were. For him it was about the story. I have to admit, even though I’m from the area, I didn’t know anything about the story. But, since I’ve gotten wind of it, I’ve been blown away. I can’t believe there are men who endured what they endured, but still wanted to fight for their country.”

“I’ve always loved the play and what it says,” says Morris. “For me, it’s about the message. It’s an extraordinary play that’s written by a woman, but sounds like a man. It tells me that Black women are listening to us and what we’re saying.”

WALKER DOES WRITE

Morris says he’s not the only one to be surprised at how successful the playwright is in writing for men. The rhythm of the way men speak, the camaraderie, frankness and cadence of a group of guys bonding in the military is finely crafted and captured by Celeste Bedford Walker, who is now a married (James) 64-year-old mother (Dana, 39 and James, 36) and grandmother (Brandon, 16 and Brea, 16), who still loves to write.

“In order to capture the true essence of men, I observed them,” says Walker, who is from Houston.  “I didn’t want the show to sound like a woman trying to write for men. I wanted it to sound authentically like men. That’s another reason it took so long to write the play. I kept trying to bring a female into the play so I could see the men through a female’s eyes. Literally the male characters kept throwing the female out of the play. I just observed the men in my life and how they acted and interacted and expressed emotion and how they didn’t express emotion.   After the play was produced I was gratified to see the audience accepted my interpretation.”

CELESTE BEDFORD WALKER

Having written about 30 plays in her career, including her first, Once In A Wife Time, Reunion in Bartersville and the musical, Over Forty, Walker, who finished writing Camp Logan in 1985, says the show, by far, is one of her most popular.

“I wrote Camp Logan because of the story,” says Walker, who wrote the play over a two-three year period when she was in her late 30s. “It has a Shakespearean aspect to it that captured me. I heard about it growing up as a child. The elders would talk about it from time to time. They would say, ‘Remember Camp Logan. We don’t want this to be a Camp Logan.’ I thought about the story and what a great theatrical piece this would be.  I wanted to understand it and bring it to life.”

For years Walker did her research, which included talking to elders who lived during the time of the race riot.

“I did a lot of research,” she says. “A lot of it was oral. I had neighbors, elders, who lived during that time. They had a lot to say. At Texas Southern University they have a whole wing of Black Houston history. I also requested records from Congress, but during that time the records were sealed. They are available now, but not when I was doing the research.”
 
Camp Logan (which won a NAACP Image Award for best play in 1994), was first produced in 1987, by the Kuumba House Theatre. The show, according to Walker, ran for six weeks.

“We didn’t do anything else until I got a grant from the Carver Center in 1990 in San Antonio,” she says.  “They gave me a grant and the play has been touring ever since.
I’m sure its been done more than 300 times at various military bases, theaters, colleges, universities, commercial venues and the Kennedy Center. It’s been well received.”

This incarnation of Camp Logan reunites Walker and Morris, who toured with the show along with Curtis Lee Stansberry, who plays the by-the-book Sgt. McKinney.  Walker thinks it’s appropriate that Morris is now directing.

“It’s like coming full circle,” says Walker from her home in Houston. “Alex was one of the original actors in the play. When we put together the Carver Center production in 1990, he played Franciscus. He was in the play in the beginning. He toured with it for years.  The play has always been close to his heart. He always wanted to do it in LA.  I’m sure he’ll do a good job.”

The soldiers depicted in Camp Logan are just a sampling of the actual regiment. Walker says each character is a composite.  The gruff, opinionated character, Joseph Moses, is actually patterned after her father. 

“Joe Moses is modeled after my dad,” she says.  “He had a temper. He said what he felt when he felt it. The others grew out of the stories I heard over the years. These guys are composites of characters. Some of them reminded me of men I knew. I put in a little bit of this one and a little bit of that one.  I had to have different characters to express different viewpoints.”


A SOLDIER’S STORY

Actor Sammie Wayne IV, who participated in the reading of Camp Logan last spring, is back for this production as Gweely Brown, an army veteran and self-proclaimed ladies man, who is quick to rebel.

Wayne, who won an NAACP Theatre award in 2011 for best lighting design for Loretta Devine’s one woman show, Pieces of Me and also won a NAACP Theater award in 2010 for best supporting male actor for his role in Alretha Thomas’s, One Woman Two Lives, says from the moment he read the play, he wanted to be a part of it.

SAMMIE WAYNE IV

“After I read the script, it did something to me,” says Wayne, who has acted in more than 50 plays since moving to Los Angeles from Chicago in 1987. “It made me want to be part of the show.  I think it chose me, I didn’t choose it. I was unaware of the story, which made me feel like I was lacking in my knowledge of our history. It’s also an inspiring story. The more I read about what these soldiers and blacks in general went through, it made the problems I have today seem not so big. This story makes me think I can overcome.”

Wayne said it was a “pleasant surprise” to find out the show was written by a woman.

“She captured the male camaraderie in a way that a lot of black male playwrights couldn’t,” says Wayne. “The lines organically come out of each of us. Alex’s casting speaks to that. The guys he casted are these roles.  Alex is great as a director because he comes to it from the point of view as an actor. He knows what we’re going through. His process of putting us through military drills and started early enough for all of us to get to know each other and have an authentic camaraderie has made this one of the best theatrical experiences I’ve had.”


THE PRODUCERS

For the first time the Robey Theatre Company, Sparkling City Entertainment and the JuVee Productions have come together to produce a show.  All of the participants were quick to point out that Camp Logan was an important story to tell.

It was Morris who first presented the show to the rest of the group.

“Ben (Guillory) and I have done five productions together,” says Morris. “Julius (Tennon) and I go back 30 years. We were in the first movie I did called, Riverbend. We both wanted to do stuff that told the true message, a positive message. The Robey mantra was also to tell our stories. I was excited to give this story to Ben. Julius was like, ‘This is what we (he and Davis) wanted to do.’ So did Ben. So did me and Vanessa.”

“This will be the sixth production Alex and I have collaborated on,” says Guillory.  “It’s the perfect fit for what Robey is about. It has a social consciousness; it’s historical and theatrical because of Walker’s talent as a playwright. One of the performances opening weekend is really to honor Celeste and to give our audience a chance to meet her. She’s written a wonderful play, an important play about how the Buffalo Soldiers, now the 24th and what they had to go through to fight for this country in WW1 and how they had to fight a battle here to get to there.”

Guillory, who has attended numerous rehearsals, calls Morris “a talented guy.”

“He’s obviously a theater person,” says Guillory, whose theater company recently won five NAACP Theatre Awards. “He’s a theater being in the since that live theater is what he as a performing artist lives for. You can understand and see his commitment. He has a deep history with the play. It has always moved him. His participation is fueled by all that history. I think highly of his work as a director. The actors trust him. He knows what’s he’s doing. He knows of what he speaks because he’s an actor.”

He has nothing but good thing to say about Julius Tennon and Viola Davis’ inclusion.

“Viola’s body of work speaks for itself,” says Guillory, whose credits include theater, television and film. “Julius is an old friend. Alex, Julius and myself did Piano Lesson together. We’re colleagues and friends. We’ve been wanting to do something together. It’s a perfect fit. There is strength in our numbers. Even more than that we have a great deal of respect for each other as artists and as men and women and as black men and women wanting to do a kind of work that is of a high standard. We trust each other to support those ideologies in the work. Some would call it a blind faith. It’s a no brainer in the sense that we are real aware of the standards we hold each other to – that are just implied. As artists of color we simply wanted and needed to do this.”

Tennon is equally enthusiastic about producing the show. He was originally supposed to play Sgt. McKinney in the show, but had to bow out due to his hectic schedule. However, he says Camp Logan is just the kind of project he and Davis want to produce.

“This is part of what we’ve being working toward for the last three years,” says Tennon, who added JuVee Productions is currently developing a number of projects, including I’m Your Man, a romantic comedy for Viola. “We wanted to control more of our careers and do the type of work that we want to do.  To do that, we had to be producers. We had to find scripts. This way, Viola wouldn’t have to wait for stereotypical roles.  We want to do a lot of culturally diverse things.”

Morris said working with JuVee (a combination of Julius and Viola’s names) and Robey was like a perfect storm. Tennon, whose JuVee Productions is committed to excellence in film, television, and theatre, agreed.

“Alex and I and Ben and I have been friends for a long time,” says Tennon. “We’ve wanted to get together to do something for a long time.  I was familiar with the story. I lived in Austin in the 90s. The story blew me away. So many times we don’t get to know this history. But Alex has a passion in his heart for this story. We talked about doing this for a lot of years. Now it’s here.”

Tennon has nothing but praise for his friend as the director.

JULIUS TENNON

“He’s a wonderful director because he’s also an actor,” says Tennon. “He understands what actors need to do. He’s great for this. The guys in the show are all on the same page. There have commitment and they’re working hard. This story is a testament to the tenacity and will of these soldiers in spite of all that prejudice. They still stood up for what was right. It takes a lot of courage to do that. We all really want to do justice to this. This is a significant story. This is an important story.”

For Walker, writing and telling the story of what happened at Camp Logan has been her mission in life.

“This is an important story to tell,” says Walker, who is working on a new played about cowboys called Black Spurs, as well as a documentary called, I, Barbara Jordan. “To me it was important because, it might sound trite, but if we don’t know our history we’re doomed to repeat it.  We need to know our history.”

Camp Logan opens April 28; Los Angeles Theatre Center, Theatre 4, 514 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, CA 90013; Thur.-Sat. 8 pm; Sun. at 3 pm; Through May 27; Tickets:  $20-$30; 866-811-4111 or www.thelatc.org.

Johnny Depp Is Barnabas Collins In Dark Shadows

Barnabas Collins has risen again.

The always interesting, daring and adventurous Johnny Depp brings the popular vampire to life in Tim Burton’s campy, sometimes hysterical, sometimes dramatic, sometimes over the top, sometimes slow, Dark Shadows, a throwback to the 60s and early 70s cult classic soap opera by the same name.  The show ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971 and focused on the exploits of Barnabas Collins, which was played favorably by Jonathan Frid, who died last month.

CAST OF DARK SHADOWS CIRCA 1960s

This gothic comedy features an all-star cast that includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Bella Heathcot, Johnny Miller, Gulliver McGrath, Ivan Kay and Susanna Capellaro.

The year is 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America.  Two decades pass and Barnabas (Depp) is sitting pretty  in the town of Collinsport, Maine.  The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and, well, a bit of a playboy.  However when he makes the bad mistake of breaking up with Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), who claims to love him dearly -  for the affections of another, all hell (literally) breaks loose.   A witch, Angelique not only sends Barnabas’s lover over a cliff, she puts a curse on Barnabas sealing his fate by turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

Oh, the humanity!!!!

Now, it’s 1972 and Barnabas is back. 

JOHNNY DEPP IS BARNABAS COLLINS

There’s no getting around it, Depp is fabulous even though the performance feels a bit familiar. He has played the role of the weirdo on many occasions, including the recent Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands and even Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean fame.

Still, Depp is good. He’s funny! He’s irreverent! He’s wonderfully sinister!! His timing is brilliant and even as a vampire, he’s not bad to look at.

When he rises from the grave after nearly 200 years, he’s amazed at the simplest modern man advancements, including red lava lamps and paved roads. He’s hilariously and goolishly polite to some stoners who are about to become his victims by saying, “It is with sincere regret that I must now kill all of you.”

When he arrives at a mansion he previously owned, which is now occupied by members of his family, he prepares his revenge on Angelique by restoring the family business to its rightful place at the top. 

For the first time in a Tim Burton film, there is a sex scene. Well, sort of.  Angelique and Barnabas have a sexy romp to the sounds of Barry White.  The scene is kinda funny. Depp has a great line at the end after he sees the romp has lead to the destruction of the room. However, the payoff isn’t enough. 

BURTON'S FIRST SEX SCENE GETS MESSY

Another funny bit is the addition of rocker Alice Cooper, who performs at a “happening” given by the Collins clan. Of course, Barnabas, unfamiliar with Cooper repeatedly refers to him as “she” and even refers to him being the ugliest woman he’s ever seen.

There are some very good moments in Dark Shadows, which happens to be the eighth Burton/Depp collaboration. That being said, there are also some moments that drag, as well as some that rely on special effects – that, unfortunately, fall flat.

Pfeiffer is miscast. However, Chloë Grace Moretz, who plays her rebellious daughter, Carolyn, is hysterical, as is the always memorable, but briefly seen Helena Bonham Carter.

What is interesting about Burton’s Dark Shadows is how he meshes gore and violence with comedy and drama.  You don’t know whether to laugh at a murder scene or be horrified.

There’s a duality going on that’s not very clear.

Still, if you’re looking for a good popcorn movie and want to suspend disbelief for two hours, Dark Shadows is something you can probably sink your teeth into.

On the Donloe Scale, D (don’t bother), O (oh, no), N (needs work), L (likable), O (OK) and E (excellent), “Dark Shadows” gets an L (likable).
