Last Call

Getting ready to ring in 2011There’s nothing like a lit-

tle bout of the stomach flu to ruin a perfectly good long weekend.

But the one good thing about being confined to your apartment for four solid days is that you get to plan for future fun things.

With New Year’s Eve just a month away, I was on a mission from God to find something fun to do and take my mind off my quea-siness for a bit.

The Harrisburg and West Shore Hardware Bar both have an open bar from 9 p.m.-midnight with a $25 cover. Not too shabby if you’re looking for a booty

shakin’ crowd. You can buy your tickets now at www.downtownafterdark.com.

If you’re looking for a tad bit older crowd (think late 20s, early 30s) head over to the Market Cross Pub in Carlisle. The Steve Morri-son & Friends band will be playing.

I’m told it’s a bluegrass band with a good beat. But

regardless of who is play-ing, there will be a keg drop at midnight followed by hot dogs and sauerkraut, which is enough to make this lo-cale a top contender for the big night. Reservations are suggested, so give them a call at 258-1234 if you’re thinking of going.

If you’re feeling lucky, head over to the Holly-wood Casino. They’re giv-ing away all sorts of things, but what caught my eye was the $12,000 late night jack-pot. Hello, 2011! Check out www.hcpn.com for details.

In the end what won my vote was Ski Roundtop. The slopes are open till

11:30 p.m., and at midnight there are fireworks on top of the mountain. There will be music and dancing with Jazz Me, a cash bar, and lit-tle bites to eat for only $50. The best part? They have deals with a few local hotels for around $100 per night that include transportation.

That’s exciting, because if you’ve ever tried to get a cab on New Year’s Eve, you know what a pain finding a ride home can be. Check out www.skiroundtop.com for details. Reservations are needed.

———As a friendly reminder,

please drink responsibly.

Last Friday, when I asked friends and acquaintances if they had hit the malls for all the Black Friday deals, the responses I received were less than spirited.

“Shopping on Black Fri-day? Not likely.”

“No way.”“I do my shopping online.”Bah humbug!I must admit, I would rath-

er do almost anything than join the hordes of serious Black Friday shoppers, but I wouldn’t want to miss out on the decorations, Christmas music and shoppers rushing

by with their treasures that comprise the holiday shop-ping experience.

So, now that the Black Fri-day crowds have subsided, I think it’s probably safe to go out Christmas shopping. If you’re unsure of where to start, try these suggestions:

• Last weekend’s Small

Business Saturday reminded us of the importance of sup-porting our local economy. Take a stroll downtown in some of our local munici-palities. Pomfret Street in Carlisle has real gems. Also check out the Tickle My Senses gallery and shop in New Cumberland and the Freehand Gallery in Lemoyne.

• The specialty shops on the second floor of the West Shore Farmers Market are a good place to find some unique gifts.

• Nothing beats outlet shopping in nearby Lan-

caster or Hagerstown — just make sure you don’t spend all your money on yourself!

If you have some people on your list who are especially difficult to shop for, here are a few alternative gift ideas that might work:

• Donating to a charity in someone’s name is always a thoughtful idea.

• Instead of buying some-thing for family and friends, arrange some time to spend together. Tickets to a basket-ball game or the theatre or plans for a weekend getaway are always a hit.

Mini Movie Reviews “Faster” (R for violence, some drug use and language. 98 minutes) H — Re-cent films of revved-up adrenaline are like movies on steroids, and cause some of the same side effects: nausea, stunted growth and probably some liver damage. George Tillman Jr.’s film begins with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s character literally sprinting out of jail, released in a seething rage from a 10-year prison sentence.

“Tangled” (PG for brief mild violence. 104 minutes.) HH 1/2— For Walt Dis-ney’s 50th animated feature, the com-pany went to the well: a Grimm fairy tale. Dan Fogelman’s script gets the story out of the tower and on the road, where the wide-eyed Rapunzel takes in the world, in-clude a tavern full of theatrical thugs and moments of budding romance. Gamely toting around her long trail of hair, she uses it inventively, like an Indiana Jones with a built-in whip. It’s all an overt, some-times grating attempt for “Disney magic.” But while it’s not in the league of Disney’s best, it’s still a sturdy, pleasant execution by the animation machine, which proves resilient yet again.

‘Love’ is a powerful film“Love and Other Drugs” stars Jake

Gyllenhaal as Jamie Randall, a phar-maceutical salesman who sells love, Zoloft, Viagra and other products with equal sincerity.

He’s a charmer, determined to sell his way out of Ohio and into the big Chicago market, and if that involves flirting with the receptionists in doctors’ offices, it’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it.

The movie takes place at that point in the 1990s when Viagra was tu-mescing in the marketplace, and Ja-mie is riding the success of his em-ployer, Pfizer.

He infiltrates hospitals, befriends doctors, pushes drugs and sabotages the best efforts of his aggressive ri-val Trey Hannigan (Gabriel Macht), whose product Prozac is outselling Zoloft. Whether these products, or any of their products, works very well is not a concern of the sales-men. They sell.

Jamie is egged on by his supervisor, Bruce Winston (Oliver Platt), and it seems quite possible he’ll make it to Chicago when his life makes an un-expected course correction.

He’s buddies with Dr. Stan Knight (Hank Azaria), who introduces him as his intern and allows him to ob-serve as he palpates the breast of his lovely patient Maggie Murdock (Anne Hathaway). Strictly speaking, doctors aren’t supposed to do that.

Maggie discovers the fraud, and in the course of an argument with Ja-mie about it they both grow so pas-sionate that, well, they rip off each other’s clothes and fall upon the bed in a confusion of sheets and moans.

Maggie and Jamie discover that they really, really like each other. She has something she wants to tell him. She is in the early stages of Parkin-son’s disease.

This introduces an unexpect-ed note into what seemed to be a screwball comedy. Hathaway brings

such tenderness and solemnity to her role that she moves the film away from comedy and toward “Love Story,” and from then on we never quite know where we’re headed.

The emotional tug-of-war in-tensifies because of the presence of Jamie’s brother Josh (Josh Gad), who seems to have been imported directly from an Odd Buddy Movie.

Josh is helpless in the area of ap-propriate behavior, seems to have selected his wardrobe in high school for the rest of his life, has made mil-lions of dollars in the markets and has a disastrous personal life.

Although he could buy a hotel, he lacks the skill or the courage to check into one, and seems intent on living for the rest of his life on the sofa in Jamie’s small apartment.

That would be permissible in an-other kind of movie. Not in this one, where matters grow serious between the two lovers — so serious, indeed, that they begin to discuss how their love will prevail through the difficult road ahead.

The movie gives full weight and attention to the subject of Parkin-son’s and doesn’t trivialize it or find jokes in it (how could it?).

But the more weight the story of Maggie and Jamie takes on, the more distracting is the screenplay’s need to intercut updates on the pharma-ceutical wars. Nor do we continue to care much about Bruce and Trey.

The most effective single scene in the movie takes place at a meeting of people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones. The husband of a victim describes to Jamie in stark, realis-tic detail the possible course of the disease, and how it may affect the woman he loves.

After this scene, the movie has definitively introduced a note that makes the rest seem trivial.

BurlesquePG-13, 116 min.

Christina Aguilera plays the proverbial small-town girl from Iowa who gets on a bus and travels to Los Angeles hoping for star-dom. She finds it in the Burlesque Lounge, a Sunset Strip club run by Cher. With a cornball story to showcase their musical numbers, it’s a cheesy entertainment of interest primarily because of the embedded music videos.

Shakespeare’s “A Mid-summer Night’s Dream” is full of surprises. So was the 1934 Warner Brothers film version by Austrian emigre director Max Reinhardt

Ja m e s C a g n ey, b e t -ter known at the time as a movie gangster, was cast as Bottom. Dick Powell, who started his career as a song-and-dance man, was Lysander, in a film that also starred Olivia de Haviland and former child star Mick-ey Rooney.

The fact that Shakespeare was set to film early in Hol-lywood history wasn’t sur-prising, however, accord-ing to playwright/master of farce Ken Ludwig. Other movies produced in the ’30s were “The Taming of the Shrew,” “As You Like It,” and “Romeo and Juliet.”

As Ludwig notes on his website, even though films based on the Bard were “box office poison,” many were

made because the wives or mistresses of studio heads wanted to appear in “presti-gious movies.”

Ludwig should know. He researched Reinhardt’s and other films based on the Bard when writing his com-edy “Shakespeare in Holly-wood” — which posits that the characters Oberon and Puck from Shakespeare’s “ M i d s u m m e r N i g h t’s Dream’ made cameos on the Warner Brothers set.

a slight twistNow Ludwig’s play is un-

dergoing some alteration, when Gamut Theatre Group presents it as a radio the-ater piece — a reading with sound effects evoking the live radio shows of the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s.

The production is di-rected by Robert Campbell, a former Core Company member of Gamut who saw the original production of “Shakespeare in Holly-wood” in 2003, a year before he joined the local company composed of the Harrisburg

Shakespeare Festival and Popcorn Hat Players.

“After learning of Gamut’s mission to present Shake-speare and other classics, I thought this would be a per-fect offbeat play for them,” he says. “It’s a wonderful blend of Shakespearean dia-logue and slapstick comedy situations.”

Ludwig is also the au-thor of “Lend Me a Tenor,” “Moon Over Buffalo,” and “Leading Ladies” — the lat-ter a comedy about two low-tier Shakespearean actors.

It’s not Gamut’s mainstage that is presenting “Shake-speare in Hollywood” but its Stage Door Series, launched by a number of Gamut “alumni” — including Campbell — to reach new audiences.

“Many larger regional the-ater companies have ‘second stage’ or ‘side series’ offer-ings such as these, where production budgets are low-er and the goal, sometimes, is to present works that are worthy but a little less famil-iar,” he says. “These produc-tions emphasize the actors and the text above all else.”

radio playThe director’s decision to

present Ludwig’s comedy as a radio play rather than traditionally may seem sur-prising. Campbell acknowl-edges that the playwright is well known for the way he creates visual farce but believes Ludwig is “under-rated” in his ability to craft

rhythmic comic dialogue.“I’m hoping our audience

can hear and appreciate just how slick and sharp a job he does with the dialogue, tim-ing and script,” he says.

What if people haven’t viewed the film, or for that matter, read the play that inspired it?

“It won’t matter if audi-ences have familiarity with Shakespeare, with ‘A Mid-summer Night’s Dream’ or with the original film from 1934,” Campbell in-sists. “Ken Ludwig makes this show accessible and fun for all ages and back-grounds. He’s pretty ter-rific at that.”

That said, Campbell ad-mits, the more you may

know about the above, the “more fun you’ll have. There are layers upon layers of Shakespeare (and other cultural) references — and Hollywood in-jokes.”

Reading as Jack Warner, the studio head, Will Hays (of the infamous Code) and Joe E. Brown, the Flute/Thisbe in the Reinhart film, is Clark Nicholson, Gamut’s artistic director. Jeff Lutter-moser, a former member, is reading Reinhardt and Cag-ney, while current member David Ramon Zayas reads Powell.

Also in the cast are other former Core members Sean Adams, Jennie Adams and Alexis Dow Campbell. Craig Cohen, host of Radio Smart Talk on WITF, is the narra-tor.

All the O’Donnells need is an alto.

With five members, the Carlisle family adds so-pranos and tenors to the annual performance of George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah” at Allison Unit-ed Methodist Church in Carlisle. They have been regulars at the performance that boasts more than 100 members.

H oweve r, t h e fa m -ily and the choir will see some firsts this year — the youngest, Hannah, 15, will finally get a chance to sing in the choir, and Sarah, 17, will sing her first solo.

“My mom sang it for a solo before, so I’m really fa-miliar with it,” said Sarah, adding that she auditioned for another solo before get-ting “Come Unto Him.”

“It wasn’t too much of a struggle for me to switch songs,” she said. “This is my second year. My mom’s been singing a long time, and this is my sister’s first year. My dad’s done this a couple of years, and this is my brother’s third or fourth year.”

Because the family is so well acquainted with how things work with the per-formance, they weren’t so surprised about the turn-around between the first rehearsal and the actual performance this Sunday.

For “Messiah,” which has a different list of choruses and solos every year, the volunteer choir meets only five times before the show, and the soloists get their

parts at the second rehears-al. That means a lot of at-home practicing for soloists and chorus members.

“We get the parts the same night (as the second rehearsal) so people can start practicing them,” Sar-ah said. “We get to practice with the organist before re-hearsal, and the choir hears us the night of the perfor-mance.”

That kind of turnaround, however, is not as daunt-ing the second time around. Dru Kepner, 17, from Big Spring High School, is singing in “Messiah” for the

second year and will sing a solo, “How Beautiful are the Feet of Them,” for the first time.

“The more you do it, the more you know it,” Dru said. “Five weeks does not seem as intimidating. I’ve practiced just a couple of the really tough ones.”

ChallengingIt’s that kind of reliability

from the chorus that will allow for Ken Houser to di-rect his most difficult piece yet.

“We alternate choruses every year — we don’t do the same ones every year,” Houser said. “We’re do-ing some challenging cho-ruses this year. This year, I felt confident that we could try it. Each year, you have singers coming in for the first time, but this year, I have a lot of older sing-ers who know what I want from songs. We do some of the same songs — like ‘Hallelujah’ chorus — and some of the singers can sing that without looking at the sheet. Those who have been singing year after year are very solid.”

Houser will count the upcoming performance as the 21st under his direc-tion, which will make him the longest-running choir director of the Carlisle performance of “Messi-ah,” which started 74 years ago.

Houser has seen plen-ty of singers come and go over the years, and though plenty of area families stick with the choir, it does pres-ent a challenge to figure out what a new chorus will look like.

“You never know who’s going to show up and be in the group. A lot of these people never see each other from one year to the next except at ‘Messiah,’” he said. “We have a couple who had been singing for over 50 years, but because of age, they decided not to

this year. We also have stu-dents that go off to college.”

Dru is one of those high school seniors who will be moving on to college — Messiah College — so the 17-year-old wanted to au-dition for a solo before she left.

“I’m going to college next year, so this is my last year to do it,” she said, adding that she will be singing with her mother, Deb Kepner. “My family’s with me doing it this year. It makes it more enjoyable.”

Whatever the reason, area

residents join the choir and audition for solos, Houser is very pleased with the group of 120 singers he has this year.

“You never know who’s going to audition,” he said. “It always amazes me. They’re great singers.”

The choir of area residents will perform selections from Handel’s “Messiah” at Allison United Methodist Church on Mooreland Av-enue at 3 p.m. Sunday. The performance is free, though free-will donations will be accepted.

Art makes season merry and brightby Lisa CLarkeSentinel [email protected]

The holiday season is a great time for family, fun, and of course, shopping. But if it’s art you’re after, a pair of galleries in Mechan-icsburg will offer unique gifts this month.

Gallerie 13 and the 2nd Floor Gallery are both lo-cated just off The Square in downtown Mechanicsburg and are busy keeping spirits bright all month long with several planned events on the December schedule. Both feature artist studios, rotating monthly shows, and a wide variety of art in-cluding paintings, sculpture, glassware and jewelry.

“The galleries are very similar. (They are) both owned by Jeffrey Van Boskirk; however, Gal-lerie 13 holds more special events. We sponsor literary readings, free artist demon-strations and feature local senior high school exhib-its,” says Gallerie 13 Associ-ate Director and artist Mary Beth Brath. “The layout of the building is conducive to

large events. The high quali-ty of the artwork is the same at both galleries.”

Miniature artThis week, it’s First Friday

to the rescue of the mall-weary when Gallerie 13 hosts its monthly artists re-ception. For December, the focus will be on the “Minia-ture Art” group show, which includes pieces no larger than 36 inches square un-framed covering a range of subjects, all by the gallery’s resident artists.

“As of right now we have over 60 pieces and more scheduled to come in,” says Brath. “Prices on the mini’s range from $25 to over $400 — something for everyone on your Christmas list.”

Also featured this month is the work of artist Eric Olson, an award-winning artist whose pieces were recently shown in Italy where he won the “Premio di Merito” cup and an Honorable Mention at the Chianciano Interna-tional Award for Digital Art and Photography.

The wine and cheese art-ist’s reception will be held from 6-9 p.m. Friday at

Gallerie 13. Live music will be provided by local artist and musician Jonathan Fra-zier.

Next weekend, celebrate the season with author-performed works of fiction, memoir, poetry and drama. “Out Loud Lit — Tinsel Tales and Other Holiday Musings” will feature local writers including Lori My-ers, Mike Silvestri and Ally Bishop. Organizers welcome “humbugs and grinches” as well, so bring the Christ-mas list. The Gallerie will be open for browsing, and live music will also be on hand to keep the crowd entertained from 2-5 p.m. Dec. 11

The 2nd Floor Gallery is located in a unique property on Market Street that once housed a church and retains the stained glass and other architectural features of its past. The gallery carries a full supply of art from inter-national as well as local and regional artists, and hosts workshops, ballroom dance lessons and other musical events as well as offering framing, interior design, and art restoration services.

Holiday partyClose out 2010 with the

annual Holiday Party from 7-10 p.m. Dec. 18. The event

is black-tie optional, and offers am extra special art-ist reception when both 2nd Floor and Gallerie 13 artists come out to spread some holiday cheer.

“Our monthly events are always special, but the December Gallery Satur-day at 2nd Floor is the of-ficial Holiday Party,” says Brath. “The Holiday Party is charged with the holi-day spirit. More food, more

people, same awesome art and music. Guests are wel-come to wear formal attire, but that is optional. Most enjoy being a little more formal than the rest of the year to make the occasion even more special.”

The featured show will be an Art Sale, showcasing lo-cal artists’ work offered at special pricing.

“One must experience the galleries in person to see the

hidden treasures in down-town Mechanicsburg,” says Brath. “People that visit the galleries are always amazed.”

Gallerie 13 is located at 13 E. Main St. in Mechanics-burg. For information, visit www.gallerie13.com. The 2nd Floor Gallery is located at 105 S. Market St., Me-chanicsburg. For informa-tion, call 697-0502 or visit www.2ndfloorgallery.com.

Curing an appetite for zombiesIt may not be the great-

est method of discovering books, but most of the time I learn about a book after it has been made into a mov-ie or TV series. In this in-stance, it’s a TV series that was originally a comic book series. And it all revolves around a zombie apoca-lypse.

The critically acclaimed AMC series “The Walking Dead” premiered on Oct. 31. My husband, being a lover of all things zombie, wanted to check it out. We were hooked from the be-ginning. Unfortunately, this first season is a mea-sly six episodes, and I’ve been left with an appetite for more zombie madness.

So I began reading the comics, which are writ-ten by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Tony Moore (issues No. 1-6) and Charlie Adlard (issues No. 7 on). The first comic was released in 2003 and has been published every month ever since. There are currently 79 individual issues, but both hardcover and paperback collections have been released that contain 12 or six issues each, respectively.

I’ve never been much of a comic book person, and reading the first few issues of “The Walking Dead” reminded me why. Of-ten the dialogue is a little trite, and you don’t really get much of a story in the sparse amount of pages each issue contains. Sure, it’s illustrated, but part of the fun of reading is being able to use your imagina-tion to create the charac-ters and scenarios in your own way.

In terms of story, how-ever, Kirkman has cre-ated an intriguing plot-line that will definitely captivate your attention. Small-town police officer

Rick Grimes is shot during a car chase and falls into a coma. He wakes up an in-determinate time later in an abandoned hospital in an abandoned town. He soon discovers a lot of re-ally dead-looking people walking around trying to bite him.

He manages to make his

way to his home to discov-er his wife and young son missing, but learns that the government was evacuat-ing many towns into big cities in order to better pro-tect them.

So off Rick goes to At-lanta in search of his fam-ily. Unfortunately, Atlanta is a hot bed of zombies,

and Rick is saved by a guy named Glenn, who takes him back to his camp of other survivors. Miracle of miracles, Rick’s wife and son are there, safe and sound. The series then continues with this group of characters and its battle to survive in a world com-pletely changed.

Music

By Jess HaydenSentinel [email protected]

When the a cappella group The Blanks first got together, their greatest am-bition was to perform on a cruise ship. Instead, they got a gig on the hit TV show, “Scrubs.”

Throughout the show’s nine-year run, The Blanks (a.k.a. “Ted’s Band”) were featured in 17 episodes, delighting fans with their zany humor and flawless harmonies. Since the show ended last year, The Blanks have produced a CD, “Rid-ing the Waves,” and have

toured extensively through-out the United States. They will make their way to the Carlisle Theater for a 7:30 p.m. performance Saturday.

During a phone interview from a tour stop in Michi-gan, band member and ac-tor Sam Lloyd talked about how the group first got on “Scrubs,” working on the show and the group’s cur-rent tour.

Question: Being a part of the hit TV show “Scrubs” must have been pretty ex-citing for the group. How did it come about?

Lloyd: “I got cast on the show as Ted the Lawyer, and in the first season we

were having a cast and crew Christmas party. I had been singing with The Blanks just for fun, and we knew a handful of goofy, silly songs. I just asked if we could sing at the party and they said sure. We got up and sang a ridiculous song and they said, ‘That’s ridiculous, let’s put it on our ridicu-lous show.’ That’s how the Blanks got on ‘Scrubs.’”

Question: How did the songs that were used get se-lected? They fit so perfectly into the plot.

Lloyd: “The songs were picked to fit with the theme of the show. So if the epi-sode was about how J.D. worshiped Dr. Cox, they would want a superhe-ro song. They’d say to us,

■

Carlisle Theatre will host a cappella group The Blanks Saturday evening.

‘Well, you could do the M ighty Mouse theme, or the Underdog theme. Which would you guys like to do?’ And we’d put in our two cents.”

Question: How long were you given to work up a song?

Lloyd: “Often we would find out on Friday what songs we were going to do the following week. Paul Perry, the band member who does all the arranging, would be up all night work-ing on the song for us. Then he would call our answer-ing machines and leave our parts on the machines so that we could start to learn them. We’d get together on Sunday and cram and show up on Monday and hope for the best.”

Question: The Blanks are currently on tour and will perform at the Carlisle The-atre. What should the audi-ence expect to see at your show?

Lloyd: “The show has

a little ‘through line’ to it, and there’s actually a little plot. There is a lot of sketch comedy — it’s kinda like Marx brothers meets Mon-ty Python meets the Three Stooges. If you’re a ‘Scrubs’ fan, you’ll really enjoy it. We do all the stuff that we did on ‘Scrubs.’ If you’re not a ‘Scrubs’ fan, you’ll enjoy it also because we present the songs in a totally different way. It’s a ‘little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants’ — that’s what we like to think of it.”

Question: Do you rec-ommend that people watch

The Blanks on YouTube to get ready for the show?

Lloyd: “People should just come in fresh and be surprised. We have a twist ending and we don’t want to give that away!”

The Blanks perform at the Carlisle Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4. Tickets are $35, $30 and $25, and are available by calling the box office at 258-0666 or online at www.carlisletheater.org.

Local comedian Earl Da-vid Reed will open.

Sponsorship is provided by Carlisle Regional Medi-cal Center.

Art makes season merry and brightby Lisa CLarkeSentinel [email protected]

The holiday season is a great time for family, fun, and of course, shopping. But if it’s art you’re after, a pair of galleries in Mechan-icsburg will offer unique gifts this month.

Gallerie 13 and the 2nd Floor Gallery are both lo-cated just off The Square in downtown Mechanicsburg and are busy keeping spirits bright all month long with several planned events on the December schedule. Both feature artist studios, rotating monthly shows, and a wide variety of art in-cluding paintings, sculpture, glassware and jewelry.

“The galleries are very similar. (They are) both owned by Jeffrey Van Boskirk; however, Gal-lerie 13 holds more special events. We sponsor literary readings, free artist demon-strations and feature local senior high school exhib-its,” says Gallerie 13 Associ-ate Director and artist Mary Beth Brath. “The layout of the building is conducive to

large events. The high quali-ty of the artwork is the same at both galleries.”

Miniature artThis week, it’s First Friday

to the rescue of the mall-weary when Gallerie 13 hosts its monthly artists re-ception. For December, the focus will be on the “Minia-ture Art” group show, which includes pieces no larger than 36 inches square un-framed covering a range of subjects, all by the gallery’s resident artists.

“As of right now we have over 60 pieces and more scheduled to come in,” says Brath. “Prices on the mini’s range from $25 to over $400 — something for everyone on your Christmas list.”

Also featured this month is the work of artist Eric Olson, an award-winning artist whose pieces were recently shown in Italy where he won the “Premio di Merito” cup and an Honorable Mention at the Chianciano Interna-tional Award for Digital Art and Photography.

The wine and cheese art-ist’s reception will be held from 6-9 p.m. Friday at

Gallerie 13. Live music will be provided by local artist and musician Jonathan Fra-zier.

Next weekend, celebrate the season with author-performed works of fiction, memoir, poetry and drama. “Out Loud Lit — Tinsel Tales and Other Holiday Musings” will feature local writers including Lori My-ers, Mike Silvestri and Ally Bishop. Organizers welcome “humbugs and grinches” as well, so bring the Christ-mas list. The Gallerie will be open for browsing, and live music will also be on hand to keep the crowd entertained from 2-5 p.m. Dec. 11

The 2nd Floor Gallery is located in a unique property on Market Street that once housed a church and retains the stained glass and other architectural features of its past. The gallery carries a full supply of art from inter-national as well as local and regional artists, and hosts workshops, ballroom dance lessons and other musical events as well as offering framing, interior design, and art restoration services.

Holiday partyClose out 2010 with the

annual Holiday Party from 7-10 p.m. Dec. 18. The event

is black-tie optional, and offers am extra special art-ist reception when both 2nd Floor and Gallerie 13 artists come out to spread some holiday cheer.

“Our monthly events are always special, but the December Gallery Satur-day at 2nd Floor is the of-ficial Holiday Party,” says Brath. “The Holiday Party is charged with the holi-day spirit. More food, more

people, same awesome art and music. Guests are wel-come to wear formal attire, but that is optional. Most enjoy being a little more formal than the rest of the year to make the occasion even more special.”

The featured show will be an Art Sale, showcasing lo-cal artists’ work offered at special pricing.

“One must experience the galleries in person to see the

hidden treasures in down-town Mechanicsburg,” says Brath. “People that visit the galleries are always amazed.”

Gallerie 13 is located at 13 E. Main St. in Mechanics-burg. For information, visit www.gallerie13.com. The 2nd Floor Gallery is located at 105 S. Market St., Me-chanicsburg. For informa-tion, call 697-0502 or visit www.2ndfloorgallery.com.

Curing an appetite for zombiesIt may not be the great-

est method of discovering books, but most of the time I learn about a book after it has been made into a mov-ie or TV series. In this in-stance, it’s a TV series that was originally a comic book series. And it all revolves around a zombie apoca-lypse.

The critically acclaimed AMC series “The Walking Dead” premiered on Oct. 31. My husband, being a lover of all things zombie, wanted to check it out. We were hooked from the be-ginning. Unfortunately, this first season is a mea-sly six episodes, and I’ve been left with an appetite for more zombie madness.

So I began reading the comics, which are writ-ten by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Tony Moore (issues No. 1-6) and Charlie Adlard (issues No. 7 on). The first comic was released in 2003 and has been published every month ever since. There are currently 79 individual issues, but both hardcover and paperback collections have been released that contain 12 or six issues each, respectively.

I’ve never been much of a comic book person, and reading the first few issues of “The Walking Dead” reminded me why. Of-ten the dialogue is a little trite, and you don’t really get much of a story in the sparse amount of pages each issue contains. Sure, it’s illustrated, but part of the fun of reading is being able to use your imagina-tion to create the charac-ters and scenarios in your own way.

In terms of story, how-ever, Kirkman has cre-ated an intriguing plot-line that will definitely captivate your attention. Small-town police officer

Rick Grimes is shot during a car chase and falls into a coma. He wakes up an in-determinate time later in an abandoned hospital in an abandoned town. He soon discovers a lot of re-ally dead-looking people walking around trying to bite him.

Shakespeare’s “A Mid-summer Night’s Dream” is full of surprises. So was the 1934 Warner Brothers film version by Austrian emigre director Max Reinhardt

Ja m e s C a g n ey, b e t -ter known at the time as a movie gangster, was cast as Bottom. Dick Powell, who started his career as a song-and-dance man, was Lysander, in a film that also starred Olivia de Haviland and former child star Mick-ey Rooney.

The fact that Shakespeare was set to film early in Hol-lywood history wasn’t sur-prising, however, accord-ing to playwright/master of farce Ken Ludwig. Other movies produced in the ’30s were “The Taming of the Shrew,” “As You Like It,” and “Romeo and Juliet.”

As Ludwig notes on his website, even though films based on the Bard were “box office poison,” many were

made because the wives or mistresses of studio heads wanted to appear in “presti-gious movies.”

Ludwig should know. He researched Reinhardt’s and other films based on the Bard when writing his com-edy “Shakespeare in Holly-wood” — which posits that the characters Oberon and Puck from Shakespeare’s “ M i d s u m m e r N i g h t’s Dream’ made cameos on the Warner Brothers set.

a slight twistNow Ludwig’s play is un-

dergoing some alteration, when Gamut Theatre Group presents it as a radio the-ater piece — a reading with sound effects evoking the live radio shows of the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s.

The production is di-rected by Robert Campbell, a former Core Company member of Gamut who saw the original production of “Shakespeare in Holly-wood” in 2003, a year before he joined the local company composed of the Harrisburg

Shakespeare Festival and Popcorn Hat Players.

“After learning of Gamut’s mission to present Shake-speare and other classics, I thought this would be a per-fect offbeat play for them,” he says. “It’s a wonderful blend of Shakespearean dia-logue and slapstick comedy situations.”

Ludwig is also the au-thor of “Lend Me a Tenor,” “Moon Over Buffalo,” and “Leading Ladies” — the lat-ter a comedy about two low-tier Shakespearean actors.

It’s not Gamut’s mainstage that is presenting “Shake-speare in Hollywood” but its Stage Door Series, launched by a number of Gamut “alumni” — including Campbell — to reach new audiences.

“Many larger regional the-ater companies have ‘second stage’ or ‘side series’ offer-ings such as these, where production budgets are low-er and the goal, sometimes, is to present works that are worthy but a little less famil-iar,” he says. “These produc-tions emphasize the actors and the text above all else.”

radio playThe director’s decision to

present Ludwig’s comedy as a radio play rather than traditionally may seem sur-prising. Campbell acknowl-edges that the playwright is well known for the way he creates visual farce but believes Ludwig is “under-rated” in his ability to craft

rhythmic comic dialogue.“I’m hoping our audience

can hear and appreciate just how slick and sharp a job he does with the dialogue, tim-ing and script,” he says.

What if people haven’t viewed the film, or for that matter, read the play that inspired it?

“It won’t matter if audi-ences have familiarity with Shakespeare, with ‘A Mid-summer Night’s Dream’ or with the original film from 1934,” Campbell in-sists. “Ken Ludwig makes this show accessible and fun for all ages and back-grounds. He’s pretty ter-rific at that.”

That said, Campbell ad-mits, the more you may

know about the above, the “more fun you’ll have. There are layers upon layers of Shakespeare (and other cultural) references — and Hollywood in-jokes.”

Reading as Jack Warner, the studio head, Will Hays (of the infamous Code) and Joe E. Brown, the Flute/Thisbe in the Reinhart film, is Clark Nicholson, Gamut’s artistic director. Jeff Lutter-moser, a former member, is reading Reinhardt and Cag-ney, while current member David Ramon Zayas reads Powell.

Also in the cast are other former Core members Sean Adams, Jennie Adams and Alexis Dow Campbell. Craig Cohen, host of Radio Smart Talk on WITF, is the narra-tor.

All the O’Donnells need is an alto.

With five members, the Carlisle family adds so-pranos and tenors to the annual performance of George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah” at Allison Unit-ed Methodist Church in Carlisle. They have been regulars at the performance that boasts more than 100 members.

H oweve r, t h e fa m -ily and the choir will see some firsts this year — the youngest, Hannah, 15, will finally get a chance to sing in the choir, and Sarah, 17, will sing her first solo.

“My mom sang it for a solo before, so I’m really fa-miliar with it,” said Sarah, adding that she auditioned for another solo before get-ting “Come Unto Him.”

“It wasn’t too much of a struggle for me to switch songs,” she said. “This is my second year. My mom’s been singing a long time, and this is my sister’s first year. My dad’s done this a couple of years, and this is my brother’s third or fourth year.”

Because the family is so well acquainted with how things work with the per-formance, they weren’t so surprised about the turn-around between the first rehearsal and the actual performance this Sunday.

For “Messiah,” which has a different list of choruses and solos every year, the volunteer choir meets only five times before the show, and the soloists get their

parts at the second rehears-al. That means a lot of at-home practicing for soloists and chorus members.

“We get the parts the same night (as the second rehearsal) so people can start practicing them,” Sar-ah said. “We get to practice with the organist before re-hearsal, and the choir hears us the night of the perfor-mance.”

That kind of turnaround, however, is not as daunt-ing the second time around. Dru Kepner, 17, from Big Spring High School, is singing in “Messiah” for the

second year and will sing a solo, “How Beautiful are the Feet of Them,” for the first time.

“The more you do it, the more you know it,” Dru said. “Five weeks does not seem as intimidating. I’ve practiced just a couple of the really tough ones.”

ChallengingIt’s that kind of reliability

from the chorus that will allow for Ken Houser to di-rect his most difficult piece yet.

“We alternate choruses every year — we don’t do the same ones every year,” Houser said. “We’re do-ing some challenging cho-ruses this year. This year, I felt confident that we could try it. Each year, you have singers coming in for the first time, but this year, I have a lot of older sing-ers who know what I want from songs. We do some of the same songs — like ‘Hallelujah’ chorus — and some of the singers can sing that without looking at the sheet. Those who have been singing year after year are very solid.”

Houser will count the upcoming performance as the 21st under his direc-tion, which will make him the longest-running choir director of the Carlisle performance of “Messi-ah,” which started 74 years ago.

Houser has seen plen-ty of singers come and go over the years, and though plenty of area families stick with the choir, it does pres-ent a challenge to figure out what a new chorus will look like.

“You never know who’s going to show up and be in the group. A lot of these people never see each other from one year to the next except at ‘Messiah,’” he said. “We have a couple who had been singing for over 50 years, but because of age, they decided not to

this year. We also have stu-dents that go off to college.”

Dru is one of those high school seniors who will be moving on to college — Messiah College — so the 17-year-old wanted to au-dition for a solo before she left.

“I’m going to college next year, so this is my last year to do it,” she said, adding that she will be singing with her mother, Deb Kepner. “My family’s with me doing it this year. It makes it more enjoyable.”

Whatever the reason, area

residents join the choir and audition for solos, Houser is very pleased with the group of 120 singers he has this year.

“You never know who’s going to audition,” he said. “It always amazes me. They’re great singers.”

The choir of area residents will perform selections from Handel’s “Messiah” at Allison United Methodist Church on Mooreland Av-enue at 3 p.m. Sunday. The performance is free, though free-will donations will be accepted.

‘Love’ is a powerful film“Love and Other Drugs” stars Jake

Gyllenhaal as Jamie Randall, a phar-maceutical salesman who sells love, Zoloft, Viagra and other products with equal sincerity.

He’s a charmer, determined to sell his way out of Ohio and into the big Chicago market, and if that involves flirting with the receptionists in doctors’ offices, it’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it.

The movie takes place at that point in the 1990s when Viagra was tu-mescing in the marketplace, and Ja-mie is riding the success of his em-ployer, Pfizer.

He infiltrates hospitals, befriends doctors, pushes drugs and sabotages the best efforts of his aggressive ri-val Trey Hannigan (Gabriel Macht), whose product Prozac is outselling Zoloft. Whether these products, or any of their products, works very well is not a concern of the sales-men. They sell.

Jamie is egged on by his supervisor, Bruce Winston (Oliver Platt), and it seems quite possible he’ll make it to Chicago when his life makes an un-expected course correction.

He’s buddies with Dr. Stan Knight (Hank Azaria), who introduces him as his intern and allows him to ob-serve as he palpates the breast of his lovely patient Maggie Murdock (Anne Hathaway). Strictly speaking, doctors aren’t supposed to do that.

Maggie discovers the fraud, and in the course of an argument with Ja-mie about it they both grow so pas-sionate that, well, they rip off each other’s clothes and fall upon the bed in a confusion of sheets and moans.

Maggie and Jamie discover that they really, really like each other. She has something she wants to tell him. She is in the early stages of Parkin-son’s disease.

This introduces an unexpect-ed note into what seemed to be a screwball comedy. Hathaway brings

such tenderness and solemnity to her role that she moves the film away from comedy and toward “Love Story,” and from then on we never quite know where we’re headed.

The emotional tug-of-war in-tensifies because of the presence of Jamie’s brother Josh (Josh Gad), who seems to have been imported directly from an Odd Buddy Movie.

Josh is helpless in the area of ap-propriate behavior, seems to have selected his wardrobe in high school for the rest of his life, has made mil-lions of dollars in the markets and has a disastrous personal life.

Although he could buy a hotel, he lacks the skill or the courage to check into one, and seems intent on living for the rest of his life on the sofa in Jamie’s small apartment.

That would be permissible in an-other kind of movie. Not in this one, where matters grow serious between the two lovers — so serious, indeed, that they begin to discuss how their love will prevail through the difficult road ahead.

The movie gives full weight and attention to the subject of Parkin-son’s and doesn’t trivialize it or find jokes in it (how could it?).

But the more weight the story of Maggie and Jamie takes on, the more distracting is the screenplay’s need to intercut updates on the pharma-ceutical wars. Nor do we continue to care much about Bruce and Trey.

The most effective single scene in the movie takes place at a meeting of people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones. The husband of a victim describes to Jamie in stark, realis-tic detail the possible course of the disease, and how it may affect the woman he loves.

After this scene, the movie has definitively introduced a note that makes the rest seem trivial.

BurlesquePG-13, 116 min.

Christina Aguilera plays the proverbial small-town girl from Iowa who gets on a bus and travels to Los Angeles hoping for star-dom. She finds it in the Burlesque Lounge, a Sunset Strip club run by Cher. With a cornball story to showcase their musical numbers, it’s a cheesy entertainment of interest primarily because of the embedded music videos.

Mini Movie Reviews “Faster” (R for violence, some drug use and language. 98 minutes) H — Re-cent films of revved-up adrenaline are like movies on steroids, and cause some of the same side effects: nausea, stunted growth and probably some liver damage. George Tillman Jr.’s film begins with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s character literally sprinting out of jail, released in a seething rage from a 10-year prison sentence.

“Tangled” (PG for brief mild violence. 104 minutes.) HH 1/2— For Walt Dis-ney’s 50th animated feature, the com-pany went to the well: a Grimm fairy tale. Dan Fogelman’s script gets the story out of the tower and on the road, where the wide-eyed Rapunzel takes in the world, in-clude a tavern full of theatrical thugs and moments of budding romance. Gamely toting around her long trail of hair, she uses it inventively, like an Indiana Jones with a built-in whip. It’s all an overt, some-times grating attempt for “Disney magic.” But while it’s not in the league of Disney’s best, it’s still a sturdy, pleasant execution by the animation machine, which proves resilient yet again.
