before on a grill at home, so I’m going to rely on New-man for that. He’ll make sure the burgers are well done and I’ll take care of all the fixings.”

What those fixings will be are still under wraps, but Nancy has high hopes for her team, especially with her morning show partner on her side.

“If this were a burger and beer competition, he’d win flat out — if you’ve ever seen Newman, the guy loves his burgers,” Nancy laughed.

The competition will be held at 2 p.m. and will be one of many cooking dem-onstrations at the Culinary Connection at this year’s Farm Show.

2011 FaRM ShOw FUNBest Burger Showdown one of

many events to look forward to

My dancing is a cross be-tween convulsions and a big-haired ’80s band head bang. Think Elaine from “Seinfeld” and you’re prob-ably pretty spot on.

While my friends and I always enjoy an opportu-nity to dance it out, the bad moves usually get worse as the night goes on.

Add an Irish Car Bomb into the mix, and I’ll start singing — and that’s when the party really starts.

A friend recently staged a dancing intervention and told me about lessons of-fered at the PA DanceS-port Ballroom in Hummel-stown.

For around $10 a class, you can learn to rumba and

salsa this month — visit www.padancesport.com for more information. Or, if you’re looking for instruc-tion a little closer to home, The Green Door offers a be-ginner lesson at 7:30 p.m. with open dancing from 8:30-11 p.m. every Tuesday and Saturday on East North Street in Carlisle for $5.

If you have the urge to shake your booty this weekend, my favorite plac-

es to get down are Ceoltas in Harrisburg, The Trindle here in Carlisle, and, in gen-eral, any place where no-body knows me.

And if you also need a lit-tle bit of liquid courage be-fore hitting the dance floor, here are a few noteworthy shots that I’ve recently dis-covered in downtown Har-risburg:

• The Lumberjack from Brick Haus on Second Street. I have no idea what’s in the shot, but on the side is a big ol’ slab of bacon. It tastes like a pancake, no joke.

• The Flaming Dr. Pepper from The Pep Grill on Wal-nut Street. I can’t believe these haven’t been flagged

like Four Loko, but get ‘em while they’re hot — literally. The shot contains Amaretto and Bacardi 151 and is set on fire and dropped into a glass half-filled with beer before you take it. It’s totally gross, but the novelty factor is worth it.

• House-Infused Pineap-ple Vodka from Cafe Fresco on Second Street. While they advertise this vodka as part of a hoity-toity mar-tini, you can cut calories, carbs and sugar by nixing the pineapple juice and real-ly appreciate how this sum-mery cordial warms you up in the dead of winter.

———As a friendly reminder,

please drink responsibly.

Last Call

See you on the dance floorWinter is one of the

hardest times to write an “Out With Erica” column because, let’s face it, when the weather is cold and threatening snow, most people don’t want to go out.

It is much more tempt-ing to throw on a sweater and watch a movie mara-thon or grab a cup of coffee and read a book, but that is exactly where cabin fever starts!

This week, try not only going out, but helping out.

Take a quick look around Cumberland County, and you’ll find a variety of non-profits that do good work, but that could probably use an extra set of hands to get that work done.

If you’re interested in volunteering, here are some of my favorite places to look:

• The United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County — For informa-tion on current volunteer needs, call the United Way of Carlisle and Cum-berland County at 243-4805.

• UCP of Central PA — UCP of Central PA is looking for volunteers for its childhood programs, which are operated out of the Capital Area Children’s Center in Camp Hill; at several of its adult day program locations and for help with each of its annual events.

For more information, call 975-0611 and ask for Community Relations Coordinator Lisa Hassel-brook.

• Special Olympics Pennsylvania — Although there are currently no up-coming events listed for the area of Cumberland, Perry and Dauphin coun-ties, Special Olympics Pennsylvania does have a form for interested volun-teers to complete.

Visit www.specialo-lympicspa.org and choose “Get Involved” underneath the “Volunteer” tab to get started.

• Many churches also have groups and outreach programs that could use volunteers.

If you are a member of your church, contacting them about opportuni-ties could be a good first step.

It’s important to remem-ber that almost any vol-unteer jobs involving chil-dren will require you to get clearances.

It’s also important to remember that reaching out is a great way to beat winter cabin fever and the winter blues!

Mini Reviews

“The Fighter” (Drama, R, 115 minutes). Colorful supporting performances help, but a vaguely defined lead diminishes the power you’d expect in this story based on a real fighter. Mark Wahlberg plays Micky Ward, Christian Bale is his goofy crackhead half-brother, Melissa Leo is his possessive mom, and Amy Adams is the barmaid who knows he’ll never get anywhere until he frees himself of his family. HH 1/2“Gulliver’s Travels” (Fantasy adven-ture, PG, 85 minutes). Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style. Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput -- where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Em-ily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Connolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. HHH“How Do You Know” (Romantic comedy, PG-13, 116 minutes). Reese Witherspoon plays a softball player who finds herself simultaneously without a team and with two men in her life. Owen Wilson is a millionaire pro pitcher, and Paul Rudd is a wheeler-dealer who faces prison because of misdealings by the firm of his father (Jack Nicholson). HH“True Grit” (Western, PG-13, 110 minutes). An entertaining remake of the 1969 film, and more, by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn easily fills John Wayne’s boots, and Hailee Steinfeld is very special as young Mattie Ross, who hires the old marshal to help her hunt down the varmint that killed her old man. HHH 1/2“The Tourist” (Thriller, PG-13, 104 min-utes). A romantic comedy crossed with a crime thriller, shot in Paris and Venice, involving a glamorous mystery woman (Angelina Jolie) and a math teacher (Johnny Depp) from Wisconsin. Jolie rises to the occasion, but Depp plays the math teacher as a man waiting for the school bell to ring so he can go bowling. HH — Roger Ebert

before on a grill at home, so I’m going to rely on New-man for that. He’ll make sure the burgers are well done and I’ll take care of all the fixings.”

What those fixings will be are still under wraps, but Nancy has high hopes for her team, especially with her morning show partner on her side.

“If this were a burger and beer competition, he’d win flat out — if you’ve ever seen Newman, the guy loves his burgers,” Nancy laughed.

The competition will be held at 2 p.m. and will be one of many cooking dem-onstrations at the Culinary Connection at this year’s Farm Show.

many events to look forward to

My dancing is a cross be-tween convulsions and a big-haired ’80s band head bang. Think Elaine from “Seinfeld” and you’re prob-ably pretty spot on.

While my friends and I always enjoy an opportu-nity to dance it out, the bad moves usually get worse as the night goes on.

Add an Irish Car Bomb into the mix, and I’ll start singing — and that’s when the party really starts.

A friend recently staged a dancing intervention and told me about lessons of-fered at the PA DanceS-port Ballroom in Hummel-stown.

For around $10 a class, you can learn to rumba and

salsa this month — visit www.padancesport.com for more information. Or, if you’re looking for instruc-tion a little closer to home, The Green Door offers a be-ginner lesson at 7:30 p.m. with open dancing from 8:30-11 p.m. every Tuesday and Saturday on East North Street in Carlisle for $5.

If you have the urge to shake your booty this weekend, my favorite plac-

es to get down are Ceoltas in Harrisburg, The Trindle here in Carlisle, and, in gen-eral, any place where no-body knows me.

And if you also need a lit-tle bit of liquid courage be-fore hitting the dance floor, here are a few noteworthy shots that I’ve recently dis-covered in downtown Har-risburg:

• The Lumberjack from Brick Haus on Second Street. I have no idea what’s in the shot, but on the side is a big ol’ slab of bacon. It tastes like a pancake, no joke.

• The Flaming Dr. Pepper from The Pep Grill on Wal-nut Street. I can’t believe these haven’t been flagged

like Four Loko, but get ‘em while they’re hot — literally. The shot contains Amaretto and Bacardi 151 and is set on fire and dropped into a glass half-filled with beer before you take it. It’s totally gross, but the novelty factor is worth it.

• House-Infused Pineap-ple Vodka from Cafe Fresco on Second Street. While they advertise this vodka as part of a hoity-toity mar-tini, you can cut calories, carbs and sugar by nixing the pineapple juice and real-ly appreciate how this sum-mery cordial warms you up in the dead of winter.

———As a friendly reminder,

please drink responsibly.

Last Call

See you on the dance floorWinter is one of the

hardest times to write an “Out With Erica” column because, let’s face it, when the weather is cold and threatening snow, most people don’t want to go out.

It is much more tempt-ing to throw on a sweater and watch a movie mara-thon or grab a cup of coffee and read a book, but that is exactly where cabin fever starts!

This week, try not only going out, but helping out.

Take a quick look around Cumberland County, and you’ll find a variety of non-profits that do good work, but that could probably use an extra set of hands to get that work done.

If you’re interested in volunteering, here are some of my favorite places to look:

• The United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County — For informa-tion on current volunteer needs, call the United Way of Carlisle and Cum-berland County at 243-4805.

• UCP of Central PA — UCP of Central PA is looking for volunteers for its childhood programs, which are operated out of the Capital Area Children’s Center in Camp Hill; at several of its adult day program locations and for help with each of its annual events.

For more information, call 975-0611 and ask for Community Relations Coordinator Lisa Hassel-brook.

• Special Olympics Pennsylvania — Although there are currently no up-coming events listed for the area of Cumberland, Perry and Dauphin coun-ties, Special Olympics Pennsylvania does have a form for interested volun-teers to complete.

Visit www.specialo-lympicspa.org and choose “Get Involved” underneath the “Volunteer” tab to get started.

• Many churches also have groups and outreach programs that could use volunteers.

If you are a member of your church, contacting them about opportuni-ties could be a good first step.

It’s important to remem-ber that almost any vol-unteer jobs involving chil-dren will require you to get clearances.

It’s also important to remember that reaching out is a great way to beat winter cabin fever and the winter blues!

The SceneA look at local nightlife

IN NEXT WEEK’S ISSUEHarrisburg Symphony Orchestra will

highlight 16-year-old pianist Yen Yu Chen from Philadelphia in its “Catch a Rising

Star” show next weekend.

pretty much the same parts — which have included a schoolgirl, secretary and widow called before a judge.

“That’s one of the fun-niest skits,” she says of the one with the judge. “You never know what Mike will say. He’ll call me by a lot of different names. You have to have the personality for this kind of comedy, and he does. He’s very much im-prov and off the cuff.”

A musical revue con-ceived by Ralph Allen and Harry Rigby, “Sugar Ba-bies” weaves together gags, skits, one-liners drawn from the era of Burlesque and Vaudeville. Also in-cluded are songs — with music by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Dorothy Fields and Al Dubin — that include “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, Baby,” “Let Me Be Your Sugar Baby” and “On the Sunny Side of the Street.”

Audience members re-turn to see the show mul-tiple times because, says Schaedler, “you never get tired of the jokes, no matter how many times you hear them.

‘Raw entertainment’For Hillegas, the inter-

action with other actors is what makes “Sugar Babies” a show of “raw entertain-ment and fun.”

“It takes a lot of skills in timing and delivery on ev-erybody’s part,” he says.

There’s also a draw in the Vaudeville humor itself — about jokes that “go on and on” and then finally, have a three-word ending that brings them to fruition.

“The show has the looks, the timing and great songs from that era — of 1910 and even before. It’s almost a re-vived historical piece, not of this century,” Hillegas says.

But historical doesn’t nec-essarily mean static. “The humor is still as rich and

funny today as it was then. The proof is that situation comedies today use a lot of the same dialogue, delivery and looks,” he says.

Adding to the fun are the opportunities Hillegas gets to break that fourth theat-rical wall, ad-libbing and addressing the audience di-rectly with jokes.

“But with the skits we stick pretty closely to the text,” he says. “The skits have to be verbatim, or they don’t work.”

Hillegas is also directing the 20th anniversary pro-duction. His son, Michael Jr. (Mikie), is producing and playing drums — which are an integral part of the show, rather than background music.

“The musicians are in-volved in the show,” says Mikie Hillegas. “They pro-vide sound effects and help with the gags.”

Bill Ingraham is playing piano.

“Sugar Babies” opened on Broadway in 1979 and ran for more than 1200 perfor-mances. It starred Mickey Rooney in his Broadway debut, Ann Miller and Ann Jillian.

A short-lived National Tour with Carol Chan-ning and Robert Morse took place in 1980. A second tour in 1984 and 1985 reunited Rooney and Miller.

As they enter their 21st year of “Sugar Babies,” Hillegas and Schaedler don’t sound the least bit burned out, even if the experienced cast can pull the production off with relatively few rehearsals.

“It’s never tiring, because it’s never the same show,” Schaedler says.

Burlesque, admittedly, is not a “high form of en-tertainment,” H illegas says. “But comedy is com-edy. And it’s so much fun to watch people smile and laugh.”

“Sugar Babies” is present-ed by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Nightlife

Keeping your resolutions

By LISA CLARKESEnTinEL coRRESPondEnTfrontdoor@cumberlink.com

It’s the start of a New Year once again and that means it’s time to make resolutions.

But it can be a challenge making them stick.

If you want your plans to last longer than the New Year’s wine, here are some entertaining ways to keep the momentum going after the confetti clears.

ExerciseWhether the big plan is

to train for a marathon or just spend less time with your sofa cushions, getting healthy consistently ranks high on the annual to-do list.

But working out doesn’t have to be a chore if you know where to make it fun.

Bowling may not be the first sport you think of when it comes to slim-ming down, but at more than 100 calories an hour, the activity offers as much burn as a leisurely stroll and a lot more friendly competition.

In Mechanicsburg, the

lanes get lively on Friday and Saturday nights when Trindle Bowl serves up its weekly Rock and Bowl sound and light experi-ence.

With more than 10,000 watts of power and 12 professional stage lights and fog, it’s bowling with something extra.

Admission is $16 per per-son including shoe rental and unlimited bowling, or $10 per person for specta-tors.

Per-game pricing is also available, and the Laneside Café is open with hot and cold food and beverages.

For more information, visit www.trindlebowl.com.

RecyclingSaving the earth can be

as simple as tossing your empties into a bin, or it can be a full-blown lifestyle.

But before you start searching for ways to reuse your dust bunnies, keep in mind that saving the plan-et can also be an easy way to save money.

If going green is on your agenda for 2011, stop by the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center on Sunday for a community Clothing Swap.

Whether it’s those size twos you’ve been har-boring since the seventh grade, or that “final sale” snag that looked lousy

when you got it home, re-member that one person’s trash is another’s treasure.

Bring your gently used clothes, coats, bags and accessories down to Stage on Herr from 2-4 p.m. and make a trade for a New-To-You find.

Remaining items will be donated to the YMCA, so you can perk up your clos-et while supporting a good cause.

The Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center is located on Herr Street, between Sec-ond and Third streets in Midtown Harrisburg.

For more information, visit www.harrisburgarts.com.

CultureA little culture goes a

long way toward renewing the soul and making the

mundane seem new. And though a trip abroad

may break the bank, the Susquehanna Folk Music Society has a way to widen your world view right here at home.

On Sunday, New York-based dance leader Danny Pollack, an expert who has been involved with the New York Israel Folk Dance Festival for more than 25 years, will present an Is-raeli Dance workshop.

The event is co-spon-sored by the Jewish Com-munity Center of Harris-burg and will feature Israel Disco Line Dances as well as Traditional Israeli Danc-es at 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively.

Tickets are $16 for non- SFMS members, and the festivities take place at the JCC, located at 3301 N. Front St., Harrisburg.

In the evening, the Capi-tal Area Folk Dancers take over with an evening of Israeli Dance at the Move-ment Center, 2134 N. Sec-ond St., Harrisburg, where participants will have the opportunity to practice dances they learned at the afternoon seminar for a $10 charge.

The SFMS offers interna-tional folk music and dance programming throughout the year.

For tickets and informa-tion, visit www.sfmsfolk.org.

The start of ■

2011 is fresh with opportunities for entertainment.

If an actor has been doing the same show for 20 years, you can be reasonably sure he likes it.

Michael Hillegas Sr., and Kathi Schaedler, who have appeared in some 150 pro-ductions of “Sugar Babies,” are certainly no exception.

“It’s just a great show,” says Schaedler, who recalls productions in places as far flung as Lancaster, the Po-conos and Las Vegas. “It’s never the same twice. It’s always unpredictable — to a large extent because of Mike. He’s always so un-predictable. His comedy is

never the same.”Hillegas is known as

Comic No. 1. Each of the actors — John Burnheimer, Sam Eisenhuth, Vasta Rash, Sue Reutter (of Carlisle), Randy Romine and Lind-sey Schell — play multiple parts.

Icons reunite in ‘Sunshine’

By BarBara Trainin BlankSentinel correSpondentfrontdoor@cumberlink.com

When local veteran ac-tors Jay Krevsky and Jay Miffoluf appeared together on stage for the first time a few seasons back at Gamut Theatre, they didn’t actu-ally speak with each other.

The way “The Chosen” is structured, the two ac-tors (playing the two fa-thers) don’t share stage time.

That was good prepara-tion, in a sense, for their second production.

In “The Sunshine Boys,” Krevsky is Willy Clark, and Jay Miffoluf is Al Lewis, two former partners in a famous Vaudeville team who haven’t spoken in 11 years.

ComedyThe Neil Simon com-

edy follows the attempt by Clark’s nephew, Ben, a young theatrical agent (Ian Potter) to bring the two back together for a one-time TV reunion. The comics have numerous is-sues to work out, besides remastering their sketch, before they’re ready to re-turn to the public eye.

One issue is Lewis’ deci-sion to leave show business after a successful 43 years.

The quarrel is “deeper than ‘The Odd Couple’” — two men who don’t get along because of they’re l iv i n g toge t h e r, says Krevsky. “Clark says he hates Lewis’ guts since the split. He sees it as a be-trayal.”

Like the works of An-ton Chekhov, who greatly influenced him, Simon’s

comedy often focuses on “what needs to be said and what isn’t being said,” says Nicholson. “A lot of this is sad.”

Nothing in the script tells us how close Willie and Al were, notes Miffoluf. “But they seem to have done a lot of kibitzing, like a mar-ried couple. They may have had creative differ-ences.”

There are also personal-ity differences. Willy is the more “self-centered and cantankerous;” the wid-owed Al is a “mild-man-nered and courtly man content to live with his daughter,” he adds.

Although Ben visits his uncle every week, Wil-ly uses the visit to throw jokes at him and call him a bad agent, says Potter. “But they do love each other. He’s excited to get Willy and Al a booking, and he wants Willy to be excited too.”

Two Jays on stageThe two Jays are defi-

nitely excited by the op-portunity to appear face-to-face together — finally.

“It’s a great privilege to work with Jay,” says

Krevsky. “He’s one reason I’m doing this.”

“He’s an icon,” Miffoluf responds. “I’ve been mis-taken for Jay 20 times and always say, ‘I’m the other Jay.’”

Their only challenge? Both agree it’s keeping a straight face during re-hearsals.

Husband and wifeThe Gamut production

also marks the first time that stage veteran Nancy Krevsky will be exchang-ing dialogue with her hus-band, Jay, in more than 50 years of their doing theater in southcentral Pennsylva-nia. She portrays the reg-istered nurse in the retire-ment home both comics end up in.

Christina Closs is anoth-er nurse, and Dan Burke is Eddie, the TV producer. The role of “The Patient” will be played by a special surprise guest at each per-formance.

“The Sunshine Boys” opened on Broadway in 1972 with Sam Levene and Jack Albertson. It was made into a movie three

years later with George Burns and Walter Mat-thau.

“When we first started Popcorn Hat Players, I made the actors watch the film, because there isn’t a better school for comic timing, for thinking on one one’s feet,” says Nichol-son.

Educational initiativeThe production is also

serving as fundraiser to promote Gamut Theatre Group’s latest education-al initiative in 2011, the Gamut Theatre Summer Academy.

GTSA is an all-day, the-ater-intensive program for students in grades 7-14 — ranging from one to four weeks — with Gam-ut alumna Amy Alleman Burkwe as dean. Classes will be taught by area professionals who are “friends of Gamut,” says Melissa Nicholson, the theater group’s executive director.

The program will be of-fered in addition to the Popcorn Hat Players camps, taught by actors.

“Sugar Babies” will be presented by Hillegas production Group for one performance only Saturday, Jan. 15, with dinner at 6 p.m. and the show at 7:30 p.m. at Best Western Harrisburg Airport inn & Suites, 815 S. eisenhower Blvd., Middletown.

tickets are $37 for din-ner and show, and $22 for show-only. For information, call 737-1767.

In the middle of the heav-ily crowded main hall of the Farm Show Complex and Expo Center, two radio morning show teams will be battling it out on the grill.

Two pairs from The Morning Zoo on B94.5 out of State College and Nancy & Newman on BOB 94.9 will be the competitors at this year’s Best Burger Showdown, which is in its second official year at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. Though they will be work-ing with PA Preferred beef from Giant Food Store, the dressings, the look and the recipe will be all up to the teams of two.

“We actually have to have the other ingredients,” Nan-cy said. “We’ll go in with buns and other stuff. We’re going to have a lot of fun.”

“They’ll only use beef (from us),” said Jean Kum-mer, deputy press secre-tary for the Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-ture. “They can use cheese — cow’s milk cheese — and toppings — anything that they want. They can also use any kind of condiment — ketchup, mustard, rel-ish or some kind of secret sauce. They will get to pre-pare their recipe ahead of time. It should be fun.”

The contest, which is set for Tuesday afternoon dur-ing the Farm Show’s eight-day run starting Saturday, is sponsored by the Pennsyl-vania Beef Council and is a

way to entertain audiences and let them know about locally grown beef.

“The Pennsylvania Farm Show is about promoting Pennsylvania products,” Kummer said. “PA Pre-ferred is our brand and a sign that we’re using locally processed beef.”

Plenty of beefThough there will only be

two teams at the competi-tion, they’ll be using plenty of beef for the competition. The duos will have to pre-pare multiple burgers for taste-testing.

“They’ll actually pre-pare six burgers, one for the judges, one for a picture and four for crowd sampling — they’ll cut it up and the audience can eat a little bit of it,” Kummer said. “I think they look at the originality, taste, flavor and probably the looks. From what I hear, last year they really played it up and they had a good time.”

The teams will have to im-press judges Amy Mearkle, a TV anchor at WTAJ-Al-toona, and ABC27’s Valerie Pritchett and Eric Finken-

biner. All three were par-ticipants at last year’s Best Burger Showdown, with the ABC27 team taking the top prize for their creation “Not Your Momma’s Burger.”

some ideasNancy and Newman were

at last year’s event emcee-ing the process, and New-man himself was a judge last year. Both have been involved in other Farm Show competitions before, including a salad cook-off, so the pair already has some ideas of what to do — or rather, what not to do.

“It’s really the over-think-ing that’ll do you in,” Nancy said. “The simpler it is the better. Not everyone likes blue cheese. We had a chef once as a judge, and he said he just doesn’t care for blue

cheese. You have to keep it simple and not get too fancy and go over people’s heads.”

The country radio morn-ing hosts have competed together before, but Nancy noted that pairing up for a competition around a small grill could prove to be chal-lenging.

“It’s going to be tough with two people working as a team in a kitchen,” she said. “I’ve never cooked

If an actor has been doing the same show for 20 years, you can be reasonably sure he likes it.

Michael Hillegas Sr., and Kathi Schaedler, who have appeared in some 150 pro-ductions of “Sugar Babies,” are certainly no exception.

“It’s just a great show,” says Schaedler, who recalls productions in places as far flung as Lancaster, the Po-conos and Las Vegas. “It’s never the same twice. It’s always unpredictable — to a large extent because of Mike. He’s always so un-predictable. His comedy is

never the same.”Hillegas is known as

Comic No. 1. Each of the actors — John Burnheimer, Sam Eisenhuth, Vasta Rash, Sue Reutter (of Carlisle), Randy Romine and Lind-sey Schell — play multiple parts.

Gamut Theatre Group

Icons reunite in ‘Sunshine’

By BarBara Trainin BlankSentinel correSpondentfrontdoor@cumberlink.com

When local veteran ac-tors Jay Krevsky and Jay Miffoluf appeared together on stage for the first time a few seasons back at Gamut Theatre, they didn’t actu-ally speak with each other.

The way “The Chosen” is structured, the two ac-tors (playing the two fa-thers) don’t share stage time.

That was good prepara-tion, in a sense, for their second production.

In “The Sunshine Boys,” Krevsky is Willy Clark, and Jay Miffoluf is Al Lewis, two former partners in a famous Vaudeville team who haven’t spoken in 11 years.

ComedyThe Neil Simon com-

edy follows the attempt by Clark’s nephew, Ben, a young theatrical agent (Ian Potter) to bring the two back together for a one-time TV reunion. The comics have numerous is-sues to work out, besides remastering their sketch, before they’re ready to re-turn to the public eye.

One issue is Lewis’ deci-sion to leave show business after a successful 43 years.

The quarrel is “deeper than ‘The Odd Couple’” — two men who don’t get along because of they’re l iv i n g toge t h e r, says Krevsky. “Clark says he hates Lewis’ guts since the split. He sees it as a be-trayal.”

Like the works of An-ton Chekhov, who greatly influenced him, Simon’s

comedy often focuses on “what needs to be said and what isn’t being said,” says Nicholson. “A lot of this is sad.”

Nothing in the script tells us how close Willie and Al were, notes Miffoluf. “But they seem to have done a lot of kibitzing, like a mar-ried couple. They may have had creative differ-ences.”

There are also personal-ity differences. Willy is the more “self-centered and cantankerous;” the wid-owed Al is a “mild-man-nered and courtly man content to live with his daughter,” he adds.

Although Ben visits his uncle every week, Wil-ly uses the visit to throw jokes at him and call him a bad agent, says Potter. “But they do love each other. He’s excited to get Willy and Al a booking, and he wants Willy to be excited too.”

Two Jays on stageThe two Jays are defi-

nitely excited by the op-portunity to appear face-to-face together — finally.

“It’s a great privilege to work with Jay,” says

Krevsky. “He’s one reason I’m doing this.”

“He’s an icon,” Miffoluf responds. “I’ve been mis-taken for Jay 20 times and always say, ‘I’m the other Jay.’”

Their only challenge? Both agree it’s keeping a straight face during re-hearsals.

Husband and wifeThe Gamut production

also marks the first time that stage veteran Nancy Krevsky will be exchang-ing dialogue with her hus-band, Jay, in more than 50 years of their doing theater in southcentral Pennsylva-nia. She portrays the reg-istered nurse in the retire-ment home both comics end up in.

Christina Closs is anoth-er nurse, and Dan Burke is Eddie, the TV producer. The role of “The Patient” will be played by a special surprise guest at each per-formance.

“The Sunshine Boys” opened on Broadway in 1972 with Sam Levene and Jack Albertson. It was made into a movie three

years later with George Burns and Walter Mat-thau.

“When we first started Popcorn Hat Players, I made the actors watch the film, because there isn’t a better school for comic timing, for thinking on one one’s feet,” says Nichol-son.

Educational initiativeThe production is also

serving as fundraiser to promote Gamut Theatre Group’s latest education-al initiative in 2011, the Gamut Theatre Summer Academy.

GTSA is an all-day, the-ater-intensive program for students in grades 7-14 — ranging from one to four weeks — with Gam-ut alumna Amy Alleman Burkwe as dean. Classes will be taught by area professionals who are “friends of Gamut,” says Melissa Nicholson, the theater group’s executive director.

The program will be of-fered in addition to the Popcorn Hat Players camps, taught by actors.

“Sugar Babies” will be presented by Hillegas production Group for one performance only Saturday, Jan. 15, with dinner at 6 p.m. and the show at 7:30 p.m. at Best Western Harrisburg Airport inn & Suites, 815 S. eisenhower Blvd., Middletown.

tickets are $37 for din-ner and show, and $22 for show-only. For information, call 737-1767.

In the middle of the heav-ily crowded main hall of the Farm Show Complex and Expo Center, two radio morning show teams will be battling it out on the grill.

Two pairs from The Morning Zoo on B94.5 out of State College and Nancy & Newman on BOB 94.9 will be the competitors at this year’s Best Burger Showdown, which is in its second official year at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. Though they will be work-ing with PA Preferred beef from Giant Food Store, the dressings, the look and the recipe will be all up to the teams of two.

before on a grill at home, so I’m going to rely on New-man for that. He’ll make sure the burgers are well done and I’ll take care of all the fixings.”

What those fixings will be are still under wraps, but Nancy has high hopes for her team, especially with her morning show partner on her side.

“If this were a burger and beer competition, he’d win flat out — if you’ve ever seen Newman, the guy loves his burgers,” Nancy laughed.

The competition will be held at 2 p.m. and will be one of many cooking dem-onstrations at the Culinary Connection at this year’s Farm Show.

2011 FaRM ShOw FUNBest Burger Showdown one of

many events to look forward to

My dancing is a cross be-tween convulsions and a big-haired ’80s band head bang. Think Elaine from “Seinfeld” and you’re prob-ably pretty spot on.

While my friends and I always enjoy an opportu-nity to dance it out, the bad moves usually get worse as the night goes on.

Add an Irish Car Bomb into the mix, and I’ll start singing — and that’s when the party really starts.

A friend recently staged a dancing intervention and told me about lessons of-fered at the PA DanceS-port Ballroom in Hummel-stown.

For around $10 a class, you can learn to rumba and

salsa this month — visit www.padancesport.com for more information. Or, if you’re looking for instruc-tion a little closer to home, The Green Door offers a be-ginner lesson at 7:30 p.m. with open dancing from 8:30-11 p.m. every Tuesday and Saturday on East North Street in Carlisle for $5.

If you have the urge to shake your booty this weekend, my favorite plac-

es to get down are Ceoltas in Harrisburg, The Trindle here in Carlisle, and, in gen-eral, any place where no-body knows me.

And if you also need a lit-tle bit of liquid courage be-fore hitting the dance floor, here are a few noteworthy shots that I’ve recently dis-covered in downtown Har-risburg:

• The Lumberjack from Brick Haus on Second Street. I have no idea what’s in the shot, but on the side is a big ol’ slab of bacon. It tastes like a pancake, no joke.

• The Flaming Dr. Pepper from The Pep Grill on Wal-nut Street. I can’t believe these haven’t been flagged

like Four Loko, but get ‘em while they’re hot — literally. The shot contains Amaretto and Bacardi 151 and is set on fire and dropped into a glass half-filled with beer before you take it. It’s totally gross, but the novelty factor is worth it.

• House-Infused Pineap-ple Vodka from Cafe Fresco on Second Street. While they advertise this vodka as part of a hoity-toity mar-tini, you can cut calories, carbs and sugar by nixing the pineapple juice and real-ly appreciate how this sum-mery cordial warms you up in the dead of winter.

———As a friendly reminder,

please drink responsibly.

Last Call

See you on the dance floorWinter is one of the

hardest times to write an “Out With Erica” column because, let’s face it, when the weather is cold and threatening snow, most people don’t want to go out.

It is much more tempt-ing to throw on a sweater and watch a movie mara-thon or grab a cup of coffee and read a book, but that is exactly where cabin fever starts!

This week, try not only going out, but helping out.

Take a quick look around Cumberland County, and you’ll find a variety of non-profits that do good work, but that could probably use an extra set of hands to get that work done.

If you’re interested in volunteering, here are some of my favorite places to look:

• The United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County — For informa-tion on current volunteer needs, call the United Way of Carlisle and Cum-berland County at 243-4805.

• UCP of Central PA — UCP of Central PA is looking for volunteers for its childhood programs, which are operated out of the Capital Area Children’s Center in Camp Hill; at several of its adult day program locations and for help with each of its annual events.

For more information, call 975-0611 and ask for Community Relations Coordinator Lisa Hassel-brook.

• Special Olympics Pennsylvania — Although there are currently no up-coming events listed for the area of Cumberland, Perry and Dauphin coun-ties, Special Olympics Pennsylvania does have a form for interested volun-teers to complete.

Visit www.specialo-lympicspa.org and choose “Get Involved” underneath the “Volunteer” tab to get started.

• Many churches also have groups and outreach programs that could use volunteers.

If you are a member of your church, contacting them about opportuni-ties could be a good first step.

It’s important to remem-ber that almost any vol-unteer jobs involving chil-dren will require you to get clearances.

It’s also important to remember that reaching out is a great way to beat winter cabin fever and the winter blues!

Star” show next weekend.

pretty much the same parts — which have included a schoolgirl, secretary and widow called before a judge.

“That’s one of the fun-niest skits,” she says of the one with the judge. “You never know what Mike will say. He’ll call me by a lot of different names. You have to have the personality for this kind of comedy, and he does. He’s very much im-prov and off the cuff.”

A musical revue con-ceived by Ralph Allen and Harry Rigby, “Sugar Ba-bies” weaves together gags, skits, one-liners drawn from the era of Burlesque and Vaudeville. Also in-cluded are songs — with music by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Dorothy Fields and Al Dubin — that include “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, Baby,” “Let Me Be Your Sugar Baby” and “On the Sunny Side of the Street.”

Audience members re-turn to see the show mul-tiple times because, says Schaedler, “you never get tired of the jokes, no matter how many times you hear them.

‘Raw entertainment’For Hillegas, the inter-

action with other actors is what makes “Sugar Babies” a show of “raw entertain-ment and fun.”

“It takes a lot of skills in timing and delivery on ev-erybody’s part,” he says.

There’s also a draw in the Vaudeville humor itself — about jokes that “go on and on” and then finally, have a three-word ending that brings them to fruition.

“The show has the looks, the timing and great songs from that era — of 1910 and even before. It’s almost a re-vived historical piece, not of this century,” Hillegas says.

But historical doesn’t nec-essarily mean static. “The humor is still as rich and

funny today as it was then. The proof is that situation comedies today use a lot of the same dialogue, delivery and looks,” he says.

Adding to the fun are the opportunities Hillegas gets to break that fourth theat-rical wall, ad-libbing and addressing the audience di-rectly with jokes.

“But with the skits we stick pretty closely to the text,” he says. “The skits have to be verbatim, or they don’t work.”

Hillegas is also directing the 20th anniversary pro-duction. His son, Michael Jr. (Mikie), is producing and playing drums — which are an integral part of the show, rather than background music.

“The musicians are in-volved in the show,” says Mikie Hillegas. “They pro-vide sound effects and help with the gags.”

Bill Ingraham is playing piano.

“Sugar Babies” opened on Broadway in 1979 and ran for more than 1200 perfor-mances. It starred Mickey Rooney in his Broadway debut, Ann Miller and Ann Jillian.

A short-lived National Tour with Carol Chan-ning and Robert Morse took place in 1980. A second tour in 1984 and 1985 reunited Rooney and Miller.

As they enter their 21st year of “Sugar Babies,” Hillegas and Schaedler don’t sound the least bit burned out, even if the experienced cast can pull the production off with relatively few rehearsals.

“It’s never tiring, because it’s never the same show,” Schaedler says.

Burlesque, admittedly, is not a “high form of en-tertainment,” H illegas says. “But comedy is com-edy. And it’s so much fun to watch people smile and laugh.”

“Sugar Babies” is present-ed by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Keeping your resolutions

By LISA CLARKESEnTinEL coRRESPondEnTfrontdoor@cumberlink.com

It’s the start of a New Year once again and that means it’s time to make resolutions.

But it can be a challenge making them stick.

If you want your plans to last longer than the New Year’s wine, here are some entertaining ways to keep the momentum going after the confetti clears.

ExerciseWhether the big plan is

to train for a marathon or just spend less time with your sofa cushions, getting healthy consistently ranks high on the annual to-do list.

But working out doesn’t have to be a chore if you know where to make it fun.

Bowling may not be the first sport you think of when it comes to slim-ming down, but at more than 100 calories an hour, the activity offers as much burn as a leisurely stroll and a lot more friendly competition.

In Mechanicsburg, the

lanes get lively on Friday and Saturday nights when Trindle Bowl serves up its weekly Rock and Bowl sound and light experi-ence.

With more than 10,000 watts of power and 12 professional stage lights and fog, it’s bowling with something extra.

Admission is $16 per per-son including shoe rental and unlimited bowling, or $10 per person for specta-tors.

Per-game pricing is also available, and the Laneside Café is open with hot and cold food and beverages.

For more information, visit www.trindlebowl.com.

RecyclingSaving the earth can be

as simple as tossing your empties into a bin, or it can be a full-blown lifestyle.

But before you start searching for ways to reuse your dust bunnies, keep in mind that saving the plan-et can also be an easy way to save money.

If going green is on your agenda for 2011, stop by the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center on Sunday for a community Clothing Swap.

Whether it’s those size twos you’ve been har-boring since the seventh grade, or that “final sale” snag that looked lousy

when you got it home, re-member that one person’s trash is another’s treasure.

Bring your gently used clothes, coats, bags and accessories down to Stage on Herr from 2-4 p.m. and make a trade for a New-To-You find.

Remaining items will be donated to the YMCA, so you can perk up your clos-et while supporting a good cause.

The Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center is located on Herr Street, between Sec-ond and Third streets in Midtown Harrisburg.

For more information, visit www.harrisburgarts.com.

CultureA little culture goes a

long way toward renewing the soul and making the

mundane seem new. And though a trip abroad

may break the bank, the Susquehanna Folk Music Society has a way to widen your world view right here at home.

On Sunday, New York-based dance leader Danny Pollack, an expert who has been involved with the New York Israel Folk Dance Festival for more than 25 years, will present an Is-raeli Dance workshop.

The event is co-spon-sored by the Jewish Com-munity Center of Harris-burg and will feature Israel Disco Line Dances as well as Traditional Israeli Danc-es at 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively.

Tickets are $16 for non- SFMS members, and the festivities take place at the JCC, located at 3301 N. Front St., Harrisburg.

In the evening, the Capi-tal Area Folk Dancers take over with an evening of Israeli Dance at the Move-ment Center, 2134 N. Sec-ond St., Harrisburg, where participants will have the opportunity to practice dances they learned at the afternoon seminar for a $10 charge.

The SFMS offers interna-tional folk music and dance programming throughout the year.

For tickets and informa-tion, visit www.sfmsfolk.org.

The start of ■

2011 is fresh with opportunities for entertainment.

Mini Reviews

“The Fighter” (Drama, R, 115 minutes). Colorful supporting performances help, but a vaguely defined lead diminishes the power you’d expect in this story based on a real fighter. Mark Wahlberg plays Micky Ward, Christian Bale is his goofy crackhead half-brother, Melissa Leo is his possessive mom, and Amy Adams is the barmaid who knows he’ll never get anywhere until he frees himself of his family. HH 1/2“Gulliver’s Travels” (Fantasy adven-ture, PG, 85 minutes). Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style. Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput -- where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Em-ily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Connolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. HHH“How Do You Know” (Romantic comedy, PG-13, 116 minutes). Reese Witherspoon plays a softball player who finds herself simultaneously without a team and with two men in her life. Owen Wilson is a millionaire pro pitcher, and Paul Rudd is a wheeler-dealer who faces prison because of misdealings by the firm of his father (Jack Nicholson). HH“True Grit” (Western, PG-13, 110 minutes). An entertaining remake of the 1969 film, and more, by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn easily fills John Wayne’s boots, and Hailee Steinfeld is very special as young Mattie Ross, who hires the old marshal to help her hunt down the varmint that killed her old man. HHH 1/2“The Tourist” (Thriller, PG-13, 104 min-utes). A romantic comedy crossed with a crime thriller, shot in Paris and Venice, involving a glamorous mystery woman (Angelina Jolie) and a math teacher (Johnny Depp) from Wisconsin. Jolie rises to the occasion, but Depp plays the math teacher as a man waiting for the school bell to ring so he can go bowling. HH — Roger Ebert

before on a grill at home, so I’m going to rely on New-man for that. He’ll make sure the burgers are well done and I’ll take care of all the fixings.”

What those fixings will be are still under wraps, but Nancy has high hopes for her team, especially with her morning show partner on her side.

“If this were a burger and beer competition, he’d win flat out — if you’ve ever seen Newman, the guy loves his burgers,” Nancy laughed.

The competition will be held at 2 p.m. and will be one of many cooking dem-onstrations at the Culinary Connection at this year’s Farm Show.

many events to look forward to

My dancing is a cross be-tween convulsions and a big-haired ’80s band head bang. Think Elaine from “Seinfeld” and you’re prob-ably pretty spot on.

While my friends and I always enjoy an opportu-nity to dance it out, the bad moves usually get worse as the night goes on.

Add an Irish Car Bomb into the mix, and I’ll start singing — and that’s when the party really starts.

A friend recently staged a dancing intervention and told me about lessons of-fered at the PA DanceS-port Ballroom in Hummel-stown.

For around $10 a class, you can learn to rumba and

salsa this month — visit www.padancesport.com for more information. Or, if you’re looking for instruc-tion a little closer to home, The Green Door offers a be-ginner lesson at 7:30 p.m. with open dancing from 8:30-11 p.m. every Tuesday and Saturday on East North Street in Carlisle for $5.

If you have the urge to shake your booty this weekend, my favorite plac-

es to get down are Ceoltas in Harrisburg, The Trindle here in Carlisle, and, in gen-eral, any place where no-body knows me.

And if you also need a lit-tle bit of liquid courage be-fore hitting the dance floor, here are a few noteworthy shots that I’ve recently dis-covered in downtown Har-risburg:

• The Lumberjack from Brick Haus on Second Street. I have no idea what’s in the shot, but on the side is a big ol’ slab of bacon. It tastes like a pancake, no joke.

• The Flaming Dr. Pepper from The Pep Grill on Wal-nut Street. I can’t believe these haven’t been flagged

like Four Loko, but get ‘em while they’re hot — literally. The shot contains Amaretto and Bacardi 151 and is set on fire and dropped into a glass half-filled with beer before you take it. It’s totally gross, but the novelty factor is worth it.

• House-Infused Pineap-ple Vodka from Cafe Fresco on Second Street. While they advertise this vodka as part of a hoity-toity mar-tini, you can cut calories, carbs and sugar by nixing the pineapple juice and real-ly appreciate how this sum-mery cordial warms you up in the dead of winter.

———As a friendly reminder,

please drink responsibly.

Last Call

See you on the dance floorWinter is one of the

hardest times to write an “Out With Erica” column because, let’s face it, when the weather is cold and threatening snow, most people don’t want to go out.

It is much more tempt-ing to throw on a sweater and watch a movie mara-thon or grab a cup of coffee and read a book, but that is exactly where cabin fever starts!

This week, try not only going out, but helping out.

Take a quick look around Cumberland County, and you’ll find a variety of non-profits that do good work, but that could probably use an extra set of hands to get that work done.

If you’re interested in volunteering, here are some of my favorite places to look:

• The United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County — For informa-tion on current volunteer needs, call the United Way of Carlisle and Cum-berland County at 243-4805.

• UCP of Central PA — UCP of Central PA is looking for volunteers for its childhood programs, which are operated out of the Capital Area Children’s Center in Camp Hill; at several of its adult day program locations and for help with each of its annual events.

For more information, call 975-0611 and ask for Community Relations Coordinator Lisa Hassel-brook.

• Special Olympics Pennsylvania — Although there are currently no up-coming events listed for the area of Cumberland, Perry and Dauphin coun-ties, Special Olympics Pennsylvania does have a form for interested volun-teers to complete.

Visit www.specialo-lympicspa.org and choose “Get Involved” underneath the “Volunteer” tab to get started.

• Many churches also have groups and outreach programs that could use volunteers.

If you are a member of your church, contacting them about opportuni-ties could be a good first step.

It’s important to remem-ber that almost any vol-unteer jobs involving chil-dren will require you to get clearances.

It’s also important to remember that reaching out is a great way to beat winter cabin fever and the winter blues!
