Get carried awayby STRIVE 'Escape'

When someonesays "professionalwrestling," images

of bare-shirted, trash-talking, muscle-boundguys smashing eachother over the head withfolding chairs tend tocome to mind.

Then there's Chikara,coming to the STRIVECenter in South Portlandon Saturday with a showcalled "The Great Escape." This pro wrestlingorganization emphasizes elaborate costumes,mixed-gender matches, no weight classes and- hold onto your hats - no rules in the ring.

Think "Nacho Libre" mixed with "The Aveng-ers."

Rod HarmonFrom the Editor

"It's more akin to comic-book storytelling,"said Chikara founder Mike Quackenbush."There are more elements of science fictionand fantasy... it's definitely more of a funreinforcement of what we think in terms ofwrestling."

Quackenbush formed Chikara (Japanese for"power") in Pennsylvania in 2002. A pro wres-tler and writer known as "The Master of 1,000Holds," he says he formed the company out ofa sense of, well, boredom.

"I started in professional wrestling at age15, and as I traveled, there was an increasingmonotony in what I felt was out there," he said.Whereas World Wrestling Entertainment is "an

From left, Miller, Khalifa and Woods will be joined by Kendrick Lamar and Chiddy Bang at the "Under the Influence of Music" show at Scarborough Downs.

It should be a great day at the races when Wiz Khalifa, Chevy Woods, Mac Miller and others appear Tuesday at Scarborough Downs.

ByRAYROUTHIER StaffWriter

Chevy Woods is a democratic rapper. The up-and-coming MC originally started

performing as Kev The Hustla. But the soft-spoken native of Pittsburgh decided that wasn't the best name, or image, for him to portray.

So he held a contest on Twitter that let his fans pick his new name.

He gave them some choices, including Chevy, a childhood nickname, and Woods, his actual last name. (A rapper using his real name - now that's an innovative con­cept.) The combination stuck.

"I'm not sure how that started, but guys around the neighborhood always called me Chevy," said Woods, who says he has never owned a Chevy car or truck in his life. "So I thought this name would be better for me,

better for business." Apparently, he's right. Woods, 29, is now

performing with rapper Wiz Khalifa on his "Under the Influence of Music" tour, which makes a stop in Maine on Tuesday at the Scarborough Downs racetrack.

The show will be the first in the new "Music at the Track" series at Scarborough Downs. Promoter Alex Gray, who has or­ganized the successful Bangor Waterfront Pavilion outdoor concerts for several years, got approval from the Scarborough Town

Songs from the heartpop into singer's head

Folk singer-songwriter Monique Barrettis poised to release her debut EP inearly fall.

Originally from Foster, R.I., Barrett(moniquebarrett.com) moved to Maine to

attend the Universityof Maine at Farming-ton in 1999. She landedin Portland in 2001,and has called it homesince. As well as beinga musician, she's also

. the mother of a 9-year-AimSel POntl old daughter and a. . . . . . . 6-year-old son.Making Noise GO caught up with

Barrett to get the skin-ny on the forthcoming

EP and her evolution as a musician.

When did you first start singing andwriting songs?

I don't remember ever not singing. I wasin the Christmas choir at the little churchmy family attended throughout my child-hood, but I didn't get serious about singinguntil my late teens. That's also when Istarted writing songs.

Oddly enough, the songs I wrote backthen were much more political/sociallycharged. These days, it seems theonly subject I'm inspired to writeabout is heart stuff - love, loss, long-ing. I would have thought it would bethe other way around, considering howmuch more informed I am now. Occa-sionally, I catch myself wishing I wouldget inspired to write more songs aboutsociety or nature or things like that,because I am a folk singer after all, butI'm also a fan of just going with whatworks. For me, heart stuff works.

What can you tell us about the EP?I've probably got about three full-

length albums worth of material filedin my brain at this point, but this EP issomething special for me. These songswere created over the past few years, aperiod that for me has been full of transi-tion and heartache and soul searching.I'm using this opportunity to basically setthem free, get them out of my heart andinto the world, so I can go into my next re-cording project unencumbered. A musicalcatharsis, if you will.

I'm recording at Shadow Shine Studioswith my good friend Eric Bettencourt. I'vebeen a fan of Eric's music for a long time,and have been in his studio quite a bitalready, recording backing tracks for hismost recent albums as well as other al-bums he's recorded or produced, so we'reboth pretty pumped that we're finallyrecording some of my stuff. We should befinishing up the recording in August.

What inspires you as a songwriter?I've always been amused by the way I

make songs. I didn't even call myself a"songwriter" until very recently, becauseI didn't think it was accurate. I rarely, if

ever, sit down with a pen and paper withthe intention of writing a song. I've alwaysthought of myself more of a "song-maker"or a "song-getter." Songs basically justpop into my head at pretty random times.I'll get a melodic line or two and recordthem into my phone. Sometimes I'll revisitit later, and the rest of the song will mate-rialize.

A few months ago, I was studying fora test and I had an entire song, start tofinish, complete with whistling solo, comeinto my head. Fortunately, I was able tostop what I was doing and record it with aguitar part. I played it the next day at OneLongfellow Square. That was pretty neat.

Surprising hooks lie in wait within Heavy Breathing's noise

By RICK JOHNSON

You've heard the old saying, "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs." In other words, sometimes

you have to destroy something to create something new Or, sometimes things will get messy before they turn out the way you want them to.

This applies to cooking, it applies to art and it applies to rock 'n' roll.

Because eggs aren't usually needed to create rock 'n' roll, the original phrase needs to be modified. Maybe something like, "You can't create good rock 'n' roll without a little noise. Or a lot."

It's this noise-sculpting concept that one must keep in mind when listening to "Dogbreath," the latest release from Port­land band Heavy Breathing. Working from the solid foundation of an ungodly racket, Heavy Breathing wields guitars, bass, drums and vocals like chisels, chipping away at a big block of noise until the faint outlines of songs emerge.

Listeners who like to put labels on their music would call this art punk, or maybe noisecore. Caught somewhere between the L.A. punk scene of the early '80s and the artier hardcore of the late '90s, Heavy Breathing is loud. It's angry, dissonant and atonal.

The production is sparse and minimal. The guitars are tinny, the bass is muddy and rumbly and the vocals are strictly of the gargling-with-broken-glass variety. And all this is as it should be, with song titles like "Hagfish," "Rathole" and "Blood Bank Robbery."

Though not for the faint of heart, those who concentrate and listen attentively to Dogbreath will be rewarded. There is emotional resonance to this music.

Of course, the dominant emotions are anger, pain, anguish, etc. But there's also

how does it influence you?

I don't come from a super-musical fam­ily, so I don't remember hearing a lot of music when I was very young. My mom sang a lot around the house and definitely had an affinity for Andrew Lloyd Webber and Broadway show tunes, so there was that.

I have three older sisters, who I of course wanted to be just like, so I listened to everything they listened to, which was mostly top 40 pop music kind of stuff. I know way too much '80s music for some­one who was actually born in the '80s. But I am also shamelessly enamored with that music too. I could listen to Lionel Richie, Madonna, Tina Turner and Phil Collins all day long. Sometimes, I do! I'm not quite sure how it influences my song-writing, but I'm sure there is some benefit

a black sense of humor at work here. And beneath the howl are tiny hooks, little musical surprises that are the sonic equivalent of finding that one candy-coat­ed peanut at the bottom of the Cracker Jack box.

Yes, buried under a mountain of Heavy Breathing's jagged eggshells, there's a subtly flavored, surprisingly tasty om­elette.

to it. Right? If you could collaborate with any mu­

sician, who would it be and why? Locally, it would definitely be Lyle

Divinsky. I wrote a duet that had a part that I actually heard in his voice as I was writing it - but I'd never heard him sing before. Then, the same week I wrote it, a friend shared a video on Facebook of him, and I freaked out when I heard him. I'm hoping I can get him to record with me for my full-length album. That would be dreamy. Otherwise, it would be Bobby McFerrin. He is a musical genius. It would be fun to do a mouth trumpet duet with him.

Council earlier this year to hold up to fiveconcerts this year at the race track.

So far, three shows have been scheduledin the series. The other two are a daylonghard rock festival called Oxxfest on Aug.10, and classic rockers Lynyrd Skynyrdand ZZ Top on Sept. 7.

With five acts on the bill - Khalifa andWoods are joined by Mac Miller, KendrickLamar and Chiddy Bang - Woods, 29, saysthe shows have been running three hoursor more.

Khalifa and Woods played Portlandlast year, at an outdoor concert on thewaterfront. They first hooked up whenthey were both living and recording inPittsburgh. In fact, with the exception ofLamar, who hails from Compton, Calif., allof the acts on the bill are Pennsylvania-based.

Woods says the fact that he and theother rappers on the tour are friendshelps make the traveling easier and theperformances a little more lively.

"It's fun, because those guys are myfriends, not just people the record labelthrew together for a tour," said Woods."There's a lot of camaraderie backstage,so I think it helps you put on a good show."

Khalifa is the best-known of the tour'slineup, as he has had hit singles including"Black and Yellow" (which hit No. 1) and"Say, Yeah." His latest album, "RollingPapers," debuted at No. 2 on the Bill-board 200 album chart last year, and hewas named Best New Artist at the BETAwards in June 2011.

Miller also had a No. 1 album last yearwith "Blue Slide Park." Lamar's 2011album, "Section 8.0," was released exclu-sively through iTunes and became one ofthe top digital hip-hop releases of the year.Chiddy Bang is an alternative hip-hopgroup.

Tuesday's show will be a good test to seeif Scarborough Downs can handle park-ing and traffic issues that come with bigconcerts, and if residents can handle thenoise.

Last year, another promoter held aconcert at the track by country musicstar Brad Paisley, and that show broughtsome noise complaints. To prevent similarcomplaints this year, Gray has hired asound engineering firm to help monitor

the sound levels. The show will also go nolater than 10:30 p.m., he said.

Gray said the success of outdoor con-certs in Bangor and around the country• coupled with the fact there is no majoroutdoor concert series in Greater Port-land other than free shows at L.L. Beanin Freeport - convinced him to try thisseries.

He decided to book the "Under the Influ-ence of Music" tour in Scarborough as op-posed to Bangor because of summertimedemographics.

"If UMaine were in session, it wouldmake more sense to play Bangor," he said."But with classes out, it makes the mostsense to play southern Maine, becausethat is where the largest share of youngpeople are this time of year."

Gray said he couldn't say for sure yet ifthe series will continue next year.

"We would have to see how things go.There are so many moving parts on themunicipal level and with the ownership ofthe track," he said. "So far, everyone hasbeen a pleasure to work with, so I wouldsay it is far more likely yes than no."

In "The Watch," from left, Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, Richard Ayoade and Vince Vaughn talk dirty and swill beer when they'renot faced with mysterious killings in their neighborhood.

Paranoia in the burbscan be pretty funnyThe four actors at the centerof The Watch' don't holdback in trying to top eachother for laughs.

By ROGER MOOREMcClatchy Newspapers

t's good to see VinceVaughn back riding thatRed Bull. He's lost the "fatand self-satisfied" look ofrecent films. The caffeine isback, and so is the breath-

less manic patter.In "The Watch," the neighborhood-

watch-discovers-an-alien-invasioncomedy, he's second banana to BenStiller, trying like heck to keep frombeing third-billed to Jonah Hill. Sohe's back to his old self, riffing likea fiend, improvising nicknames forthe other characters - "Franklin"(Hill) becomes "Frank-n-Beans"and "Frank-n-Flirter," and Evan

REVIEW"THE WATCH," starring BenStiller, Vince Vaughn, JonahHill, Rosemarie DeWitt,Richard Ayoade and BillyCrudup. Directed by AkivaSchaffer. Written by SethRogen, Jared Stern andEvan Goldberg. Rated R forsome strong sexual content,pervasive language andviolent images. Runningtime: 1:42

(Stiller) is "Evan-rude," "Evander"and "Ever-ready."

Vaughn's brought his A-game to asometimes ponderous, sometimesexplosively funny comedy thatbenefits from a top-THIS one-linerethos from the cast.

Stiller does a variation of hisoverly earnest straight-man shtick

- Evan is a Glenview, Ohio, Costcomanager who obsessively exercises,obsessively collects "friends" of ev-ery race and creed, who obsessivelyorganizes "clubs."

Bob (Vaughn) joins Evan's neigh-borhood watch to get out of thehouse, away from the wife and kid,to drink Budweiser and lead Bach-man-Turner Overdrive sing-alongs.

Hill's Franklin has an oily LeeHarvey Oswald haircut, a thing formilitary surplus clothes and switch-blades and is totally down with "thisvigilante squad, militia, whateveryou're calling it."

And Jamarcas (Richard Ayoadeof British TV's "The IT Crowd") isthe frizzy-haired foreigner who justwants to assimilate. A bit.

The screenwriters (Seth Rogenamong them) took inspirationfrom the paranoid "Twilight Zone"

Filmmakers must get act together fast in annual '48' If you see gaggles of goggle-eyed young

people running around Portland next weekend - some wearing costumes,

some wielding cameras, all sporting bed head and coffee breath - don't panic. There's nothing to worry about.

Unless you're a filmmaker participating in this year's 48 Hour Film Project - then you're in trouble.

In case you haven't heard of the 48 Hour Film Project (48hourfilm.com/en/ portlandmaine), here are the rules: You

(and your equally brave/foolhardy cohorts) gather on Friday evening. You're given a film genre plus a character, a line of dialogue and a prop, all of which must be

Dennis Perkins included in y°u r short

film. Then you've got Indie Film the next frenzied,

sleepless 48 hours, until Sunday evening,

to turn in a finished film. Why would people do this? For some directors I've spoken to over

the years, the "48" is a chance to hone their filmmaking skills under extreme pressure. For others, it's more about gaining notoriety, or maybe some of the contest's prizes.

But for local moviemaker Bryan Fer-rante, the annual moviemaking marathon is more about three f "s: fun, family and friends.

"My brother Nick and I grew up making shorts and commercials just for fun, and we fell in love with it," Ferrante said. "It was guerilla filmmaking, so this is right up our alley. Plus, it gives us and our friends a reason to get together once a year."

Ferrante and his film company, Slow Children Productions (sites.google.com/ site/slowchildrenproductionshome), have participated in every 48 Hour Film Project since Portland brought the international competition here six years ago.

And while he concedes that winning awards is nice and all, "We make the films more for ourselves. We want to make something we're proud of and that people will like."

While approaching this exercise in cre­ative self-abuse as an end in itself may be an enjoyable experience for the Ferrantes et al, its breakneck nature necessitates some serious quick thinking and teamwork.

"We all gather on Friday night, draw our genre and then spitball ideas for the next two hours," said Ferrante. "We whittle it away until we come up with a story, then into the wee hours we actually write the thing, although we do rely a lot on impro­visation."

That on-the-fly approach extends to Slow Children Productions,' shall we say flexible take on the genre it's assigned. Its (very funny) 2011 entry, "Toy Cops 2: The Sequel" (a "Robot Chicken" meets "Reno: 911" stop-motion comedy) was submitted,

"Toy Cops 2: The Sequel" was Slow Children Productions' funny entry in the drama category in the 2011 48 Hour Film Project.

even though the assigned category was drama.

"We try to include comedy in everything we do," said Ferrante, "so we included a moment in a chase scene where a charac­ter says, 'This is very dramatic' We like to play with the genres, and they give us a lot of leeway."

As for next week's film-a-thon, Ferrante said his experience in the "48" has taught him to schedule at least a few hours of sleep, anticipate a calamity or two, and that "coffee will be my best friend."

And for this year's Slow Children team? "We've got seven people on board. Mostly friends and family - our tallest friend will hold the boom mic, and Mom is catering. We figure at least we can feed everyone."

Whether for experience, fame or fun, here's hoping that all the 48 Hour Film Project's intrepid artistes weather the challenges with aplomb.

And feel free to buy a coffee for anyone you see around town with a video camera.

SHOWTMES FOR TONIGHT ONLY

DARK KNIGHT

NEW ON THE SHELF"THE DEEP BLUE SEA," starring Rachel

Weisz and Tom Hiddleston. Not to be confusedwith the 1999 killer shark movie, this lush andsuitably despairing adaptation of the TerenceRattigan play is a '50s-set drama centered onWeisz, a woman torn between her dependablebut brow-beaten husband (Simon Russell Beale)and her sensuous but adrift lover (Hiddleston),and finding herself seemingly unable to pleaseeither of them. Downbeat though it may sound,director Terence Davis ("The House of Mirth")expertly crafts a compelling tale from the inher-ent misery on display, and the three leads areimpressive and relatable throughout. Rated R.Running time: 1:38

Suggested retail price: $29.95; Blu-ray $38.94

"JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI," documentary. Thispleasingly straightforward documentary is everybit as likable as its protagonist, Jiro Ono, theproprietor of the finest sushi restaurant in Tokyo,where reservations must be made at least amonth in advance and there is only one item onthe menu. Jiro's philosophies on work and life ingeneral are brilliant in their simplicity, and thelovingly photographed footage of the man atwork in the kitchen is foodie heaven incarnate.Rated PG. Running time: 1:21

Suggested retail price: $26.98; Blu-ray $29.98

"SILENT HOUSE," starring Elizabeth Olsenand Adam Trese. A young woman (Olsen) ac-companies her father (Trese) and uncle (EricSheffer Stevens) to her childhood lake house,now boarded up and rat-infested, to salvage afew belongings. Before long, Dad and Uncle aremysteriously M.I.A., and Olsen is trapped in adark house with an unseen assailant. Told in realtime over the course of one long, unbroken shot,"Silent House" is an ambitious and genuinelycreepy film with a bit more going on than youraverage fright flick. Rated R. Running time: 1:25

Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $34.98

"BOSS: SEASON ONE," starring Kelsey Gram-mer and Connie Nielsen. Concerns that Grammerwould be too associated with his long-runningFrasier Crane character to be believable as ahard-nosed, morally conflicted authority figurewere handily put to rest within a few minutes ofthe pilot of this acclaimed, no-nonsense Starzseries, in which Grammer portrays a Chicagomayor desperately trying to conceal a degen-erative brain disorder from his co-workers andhis city. Grammer's celebrated comedic timing isnowhere to be found in this all-business dramaseries, so "Cheers" fans may need time to adjustto the actor's gruff, fiery persona, but he clearlyrelishes the opportunity to flex his dramaticchops. Fans of "The Sopranos" in particularshould enjoy this look at the seduction of power,

Foodiealert: Thedocumentary"Jiro Dreamsof Sushi" offersa fascinatinglook at thefinest sushirestaurant inTokyo andits legendaryproprietor.

replete with plenty of sex scenes. Not rated;contains language, violence and strong sexualcontent. Running time: 7:29

Suggested retail price: $39.98; Blu-ray $39.97

NEW TO BLU-RAY"MYSTERY MEN," starring Ben Stiller and

Janeane Garofalo. Proudly goofy 1999 superherospoof proved a bit ahead of its time, failingto connect with audiences during its initialrelease but eventually becoming a cult favoriteamong today's comic book-obsessed movie-goers. Joining Stiller and Garofalo in their ineptworld-saving pursuits are William H. Macy asThe Shoveler, Hank Azaria as the fork-throwingBlue Raja and Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubensas the deeply unpleasant Spleen. Rated PG-13.Running time: 2:01

Suggested retail price: $19.98

VIDEOPORT PICKS"FOOTNOTE," starring Lior Ashkenazi and Sh-

lomo Bar-Aba. In writer-director Joseph Cedar'sexcellent "Footnote," we enter the rarely tele-vised world of unspoken resentment, depictedbetween exacting, standoffish philologist Eliezer(Bar-Aba) and son Uriel (Ashkenazi), a fellowprofessor who is far more financially successfuland popular among peers than his detachedfather. When a simple typo results in Dad endingup with a prestigious award that was intendedfor Uriel, the ever-percolating ill will betweenthe two men comes to an unbearably tensehead, and Cedar employs an extremely effectiveless-is-more approach to convey the suppressedemotions on display. Nominated for an AcademyAward for Best Picture. Rated PG for thematicelements, brief nudity, language and smoking.Running time: 1:43

Suggested retail price: $30.99; Blu-ray $35.99

"MY WAY (MAI WEI)," starring Dong-gunJang and Jo Odagiri. A story of friendship setagainst just about the most brutal backdropimaginable, director Je-kyu Kang ("Swiri")put audiences closer to wartime combat thanthey've been since 1998's "Saving PrivateRyan." The jaw-dropping sequences of battleare interspersed in the story of Jun-shik (Jang)and Tatsuo (Odagiri), who work together on afarm and entertain dreams of becoming rivalmarathon runners in the Tokyo Olympics - goalsthat become waylaid when World War II breaksout and both are forced to enlist. "My Way" hasa compelling tale to tell in the midst of all thechaos, and for viewers with strong stomachs,there isn't a dull moment to be found.

A dancing flash mob stops traffic in Miami in "Step Up Revolution."

Flash mobs filled with talentwifha enliven 'Step Up Revolution'

By ROGER MOOREMcClatchy Newspapers

"Step Up Revolution" taps into the dance"flash mob" phenomenon and moves toMiami to give us the sunniest and mostentertaining of these kids-gotta-dancemusicals.

The flash mobs - in traffic, dancing onthe roofs, hoods and trunks of low-ridervintage cars in Miami traffic, disruptingmuseum openings and a developer's plan-ning meetings - are a brilliantly choreo-graphed, well-shot and sharply editedtreat.

Well, except for one unfortunately timedstunt involving a darkened room, smokebombs and menacing dancers chargingin wearing gas masks. And another, withdancers imitating machine guns strafinga crowd. Sad news intrudes, inadvertently,on this late summer cotton-candy treat.

Stopping traffic and choreographing thejolly, bouncing low-riders they roll up inhas got to be preserved and uploaded toYouTube.

They want to attract so many YouTubehits that they win a contest and collectsome cash, because these dancers arefrom the one underdeveloped corner ofMiami riverfront left - and the wrong sideof the tracks.

Sean and Eddy (Hamilton) work in aswank hotel whose developer/ owner(Peter Gallagher) has designs on theneighborhood the dancers call home. Buthis daughter Emily (Kathryn McCormick)is a dancer, too.

Something with green goo and tentaclesis skinning people. And it may be disguis-ing itself as one of them - a neighbor, theboy going a little too far with Bob's teen-age daughter, the doofus cop (Will Forte).

The plot is secondary here, an excuseto put the foursome in a soccer-mom-mobile, drinking, topping each other'sjokes about urinating in a beer can and"sharing" - their disappointments overnot joining the police force, over not beingattractive to women, over Bob's sexuallycurious teenage daughter.

fessional dance troupe. Sean needs cashand to be noticed, to have "a voice." Andthe crew will need help from kids fromthe earlier "Step Up" movies (this is thefourth) to pull off their biggest mission.

Director Scott Speer from "The Legionof Extraordinary Dancers" knows whereto point his camera, knows how to cut tothe beat. Everything from parkour-stylestunts and mime to salsa, crunking andinterpretative dance is given its showcasehere.

And tapping into flash mobs, those In-ternet-posted delights in which singers ordancers show up, en masse, and delighta mall, a train station or a city street?Inspired.

But it's not just the choreography thatsells this over-familiar story.

Speer peoples the screen with gorgeousdancers, actors and extras - shakingwhat they've got in 3D.

Whatever Miami got for posing as the1980s Sunset Strip for "Rock of Ages,"this under-scripted, super-sexy cinematicpostcard is the one the tourist boardshould post on its website.

Come to Miami. Bring your bikini. Andyour dancing shoes.

that Rogen, co-writer Evan Goldberg("Pineapple Express") and director and"Saturday Night Live" vet Akiva Schaffer("Hot Rod") cook up around them.

R. Lee Ermey shows up to cuss, call thewatchers girly names and wave a shotgunaround. Billy Crudup practically oozes asa new neighbor a little too appreciative ofEvan's physical fitness.

There's an orgy, so look for "SNE' cam-eos in that.

And Rosemarie DeWitt, who broke outwith "Mad Men," does the sexually vora-cious thing as Evan's hot-to-get-preggerswife.

The graphic violence - played for gooeylaughs - and the flat-footed way the moviestops any time a special effect is needed(there are aliens, after all) cripple "TheWatch."

The post-Trayvon Martin subject matterdoesn't have quite the bad timing of "StepUp Revolution," which has dance sceneswith smoke bombs and gas masks thattake us to Aurora, Colo.

But if we can't laugh at beer-swillingtrigger-happy neighborhood watchers,what's the point of moving to the burbs?

Ogunquit Playhouse is looking for a winwith its version of 'Damn Yankees,' setat Fenway Park and starring CarsonKressley as the devilish Mr. Applegate.

By BOB KEYESStaffWriter

eave it to celebrity stylist andsassy TV star Carson Kressleyto turn the devil into a like-able fellow. Dare we call himcharming?

"Well, I think he is charm-ing," Kressley says via e-mailof his portrayal of Mr. Apple-gate in the Red Sox version ofthe musical "Damn Yankees,"which opens tonight at Ogun-quit Playhouse.

"That may sound strange oreven sacrilegious to call thedevil himself charming, but Ithink that's how he has to beto get the job done in the show.He has to be a bit of a snakecharmer to get the soul ofthe show's hero. So I'm reallyworking on making him charm-ing and somewhat sinister atthe same time."

The Ogunquit version of thishalf-century-old baseball musi-cal moves from Washington,D.C., where it was originallyset, to Boston's Fenway Park,which marks its 100th anniver-sary this season.

Tony Award-winning play-wright Joe DiPietro reworkedthe script of the Adler andRoss musical to accent therivalry between the New YorkYankees and the Boston RedSox. In the original version, the

OGUNQUITContinued from Page E21

musical pitted the Yankees against theWashington Senators.

Mr. Applegate is the devil masqueradingas a slick salesman. He tells the hero andlong-suffering Red Sox fan Joe Boyd thatif he gives up his soul, he will come backas Joe Hardy, the long-ball hitter that theSox need to beat the Yankees.

Kressley has some history with the RedSox. After the Sox won the World Series in2004, Kressley and his pals on the hit TVshow "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"did a makeover of some of the team'splayers.

"I didn't even make it to first base," helaments, but still enjoyed his associationwith the team. "I'm very well-acquaintedwith the team and more importantly howbeloved they are by their fans. That's abig part of the special Red Sox version of'Damn Yankees' we are doing in Maine."

Veteran Broadway choreographer JeffryDenman directs the Ogunquit versionof this show. Working with Kressley hasbeen a joy, he said.

"Carson thinks he cannot sing, butCarson has an amazing voice that isuntrained," Denman said. "He sings theway he speaks, which is what you aresupposed to do. He has a beautiful tenorvoice. I am just trying to point him in theright direction.

"When you watch him, you realize he iscoming from a place of joy. That is musi-cal theater right there -just joy. He walkson stage with a certain amount of pres-ence. He is disarmingly charming."

This is Kressley's second time atOgunquit. He appeared in "The DrowsyChaperone" in 2010, but not without arm-twisting.

He was skeptical when the theater'sexecutive director, Brad Kenney, pitchedhim the idea. "But honestly, I had sucha great time doing that show and appre-ciated the quality of that show and theOgunquit team's production values, thatthis time it was an easy sell," Kressleywrote.

"There are so many great things about

working at the Ogunquit Playhouse. Ofcourse, it is beautiful. I adore Maine andlove the whole idea of being there in thesummer: Eating lobster, going to thebeach, wearing super-preppy clothes- I've been busy embroidering whales oneverything I own."

D.C. Anderson plays Joe Boyd. Ander-son will appear on Broadway this fall inthe musical "Rebecca," and has a longstring of credits in regional theater. SamPrince, who has performed Off-Broadwayand regionally, plays Joe Hardy. JenniferCody plays Gloria. She has appeared atOgunquit in "All Shook Up" and "Cinder-ella," and on Broadway and Off-Broadway.

For Denman, "Damn Yankees" pres-ents a perfect opportunity. He is a hugebaseball fan who fully understands thedepth of the rivalry between the Red Soxand the Yankees. His allegiance is to theYankees, but he has great respect for theRed Sox and their fans.

"I hope, I hope, I hope that audiencemembers won't hold that against me," hesaid. "I was brought up a Yankees fan bymy father. There is great loyalty there.But some of my best and dearest friendsare Red Sox fans. I admire them becauseof the smart way they follow baseball.They know what they are talking about.They are not fair-weather fans. They areloyal."

Denman thinks Red Sox fans will lovethis show. He has added a few bits ofSox and baseball trivia - little nods thatdie-hard fans will pick up on and maybechuckle at. "I know my baseball history,and have to infuse that into the show asmuch as I can," he said.

He also think fans will appreciate thecrisp white home uniforms of the RedSox.

"When you see them, you will go, 'Oh,that's awesome,' he said. "I equate base-ball uniforms to superhero uniforms. It'slike seeing Superman there, and that ishow we are playing Joe Hardy. You seethe 'Red Sox' script across the white, it'sjust iconic."

Gregory Rec/Staff Photographer

Abbie Bruni, Andrew Bruni and Paul Jerabek at the Portland Pottery Cafe.

There's lox to love - and more - at Portland Pottery Cafe.he Portland PotteryCafe, a new little spot onWashington Avenue inPortland, combines twopastimes people love:Eating and shopping.

An extension of thePortland Pottery studioand store, the cafe isfilled with sturdy but at-

tractive wooden tables and chairs,and lots of pottery is for sale on theshelves.

The cafe serves breakfast itemsall day, and also has a menu ofsandwiches and wraps, salads andsweets.

Brewery news from Atwell.E28 • Bar Guide: Billy's Chowder House, E29

E28 GO | The Por t land Press H e r a l d / Thursday, July 26, 2012

Brewer plans to make stout and more in York County Tod Mott, who has been head

brewer at Portsmouth Brew­ery since 2003, recently left

that job to open a new brewery in southern Maine.

When I spoke with him last week, he didn't have a name, a license or a location. He is hop­ing for South Berwick, where he TO HI lives, but would be OK with any ..., , place between the Berwicks and W1131 Kittery or York. He was sched­uled to meet with state officials this past Monday for various licenses and approvals needed to start the brewery.

"There are no breweries in this area - they're all up north," he said.

Mott said the operation will begin as a tiny brewery, producing about 500 barrels a year. Among the beers will be the most famous beer he brewed at Portsmouth, Kate the Great imperial stout.

"They will keep the name Kate the Great, but I've got the recipe," Mott said. "Tyler (Jones) was my assistant for four years, and is a very competent brewer, but I promise you it won't be the same."

Mott plans to open with four beers - probably an IPA, a stout of some sort other than the imperial, a rye and a saison - along with some seasonal ales.

Mott said there are no hard feelings between him and the people at Ports­mouth Brewery. He was just anxious to try something new

ALLAGASH CURIEUX and PEAK ORGANIC'S Pale Ale were included in Men's Journal's list of the top 25 beers in the world.

The listing is not a surprise. The two beers were also included in a previous

ranking in the magazine in October 2010. But it does say a lot about the quality of the beers brewed in Portland when two out of the 25 are brewed here.

The listing was not by ranking, the article said.

. .. Of Curieux, the article said, AlWGll "The first and best in a special A lac V/-\i s e r i e s °f barrel-aged beers from AIGS YOU one of America's finest brewer­

ies, Allagash Curieux is a boozy golden Belgian-style tripel ale

enhanced with caramel aromas and just a whiff of high-test hooch - the later imparted by eight weeks of aging in Jim Beam barrels."

Of the Peak, the article said, "The all-organic Peak Brewing Company ... has done the unheard-of: It has made a pale ale remarkable with this, a bright, copper-colored beer with a slightly spicy, hoppy citrus tang muted by a solid toasty malt body."

A couple of other beers with regional connections made the list: Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA, brewed by Sam Calagione, who summers in the Boothbay Region, and Samuel Adams Noble Pils.

For personal reasons, I was pleased to find two other beers on my list.

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout has been one of my favorite beers for decades. In 1969, when I spent nine weeks in Army training and before I had as much experi­ence drinking beer, I absolutely loved Olympia. The other local was Rainier, which I didn't like.

Of Olympia, the article read, "Paying under a buck for a mass-produced beer usually means hop character is nowhere to be found, but this light and cream

Po r t land -b rewed A l lagash Curieux and Peak Organic Pale Ale have landed on Men's Journal 's list of the t o p 25 beers in the wor ld .

golden lager ... actually has a touch of citrusy bitterness."

So, my palate of 43 years ago was OK. Olympia is tough to find east of the

Rockies, so we should put it with Yuengling on the "let's bring to Maine" list.

MAINE BEER CO. has produced a collaboration beer with Lawson's Finest Liquids in Warren, Vt.

The beer, Collaboration Time I, was brewed with Vermont-grown hops, Maine barley, New York wheat and Massachu­setts rye. It had a fairly thick layer of spent yeast in the bottom of the bottle, and it poured a very dark brown and a bit

cloudy because some of the yeast at the bottom of the bottle made it into the glass.

The beer had a large, long-lasting tan head and a caramel aroma. The rye adds a bit of spiciness, but I didn't taste a lot of wheat. The malt is the dominant flavor, with the hops in the background, mak­ing it to my mind a wonderfully complex brown ale.

Nancy and I both loved this one, although we followed it with a Geary's Summer that was more appropriate for the hot and muggy day we drank it.

banana, apple, nutella and fluff. Dinners are for eat-in or take-out, and

range from a cheese quesadilla for $6 to homemade meatballs, empanadas or pistachio pesto over pasta for $9.

When I first heard about the cafe, I winced at the thought of having lunch surrounded by awkward student pottery projects - you know, the kind of stuff that looks like it was made by a third-grader but the amateur potter thinks is worth $100.

But the shelves at the cafe are filled with lovely pieces priced very reason­ably.

As I waited for my sandwich the day I visited, I fell in love with some little ceramic chickens on one of the tables.

The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and slightly funky (in a good way).

It would be even better with a little music - not anything loud, maybe a little quiet classical.

GUIDE

Sports bar boasts view that rivals action on TVBy EMMA BOUTHILLETTE

I remember hearing aboutBilly's Chowder House frommy mom when I was growing

up. It was a restaurant my par-ents visited when family cameto town for summer vacations.

It only seemed right that Isnagged her for an afternooncruise down to Wells to checkthis place out.

Admittedly, traffic headingsouth on Route 1 on the thirdSaturday of July was a bear,but when we finally made it toBilly's, I was amazed by the lo-cation: The restaurant/bar sitsright on the marsh that is partof the Rachel Carson WildlifePreserve.

It was even more impressiveas we made our way to the barat the back of the building. Win-dows lining the building providean excellent view of the marsh.The tide was low when we werethere, and we were told thatwhen there are extraordinaryhigh tides, it almost looks likethe bar is floating in water.

As we picked two seats on onecorner of the three-sided bar, Iwas immediately interested inthe Little Black Dress Cocktailmenu. Each drink comes in atabout 100 calories, and makessipping a drink arouse a littleless guilt.

I ordered the Soda Shop,which has Little Black DressBlack Cherry Vanilla Vodkamixed with Diet Coke. Momdecided to try the Blue BerryLemonade with Little Black

Mine came served with acherry, and mom's came servedwith small blueberries floatingin the glass. The drinks cost$6.50 apiece.

Billy's Chowder House hasbeen open for more than 30years, current manager ChrisVarano estimates. His brotherDick and sister-in-law Sherri

are the current owners. Whenthey took over, the Varanosrenovated Billy's, convertinga porch into what is now thebar and making it suitable toremain open almost year-round.(They close for some of Decem-ber and January.)

Unlike the restaurant, whichis decorated with nauticalmemorabilia, the bar walls arecovered with sports photos,

beer and liquor swag, and anumber of college pennants.Varano said a lot of the staffstarts working at Billy's whenthey're in high school. Whenthey leave for college, they oftenreturn with a pennant to hangin the bar.

The bar has a dozen beers ontap and more in bottles, wineofferings and a full bar. Onepopular item is the Voodoo

Off Beat: 'Church of Love and Ruin/ E32 Listings begin on E32

E32 GO | The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, July 26, 2012

Worship at the altar of odd with 'Church of Love and Ruin' The toilet paper dodgeball

game is what caught my attention.

B. Dolan - an indie rapper and performance artist - was talking about his latest tour­ing show, "Church of Love and Ruin," which combines DJs, rappers, drag queens, spoken-word pieces and a marching band with all sorts of spontaneous interactive crowd activities.

"There might be a drag queen on stage, then sud­denly we'll put 48 rolls of toilet paper on the floor and have the crowd play toilet paper dodgeball," said Dolan, who is based in Providence, R.I. "Then suddenly, a 15-piece marching band might appear in the crowd."

OK, I thought, so "Church of Love and Ruin" does not sound like your typical march­ing band/drag queen/hip-hop mash-up.

In fact, it doesn't sound quite like anything else.

Which is what Dolan was shooting for when he first did the show last year in four cities - Providence, Boston,

New York and here in Portland. Dolan is one of those artists who has dabbled in a little bit of everything, and he wanted a show that would do the same thing.

But he also wanted a show that would have an energy and a sense of the unexpected that would overwhelm the audience. In a good way

"This is a show designed to run on, without a break, with all kinds of things buried in the performance, and hopefully overwhelming the audience," said Dolan. "It's almost like a mix tape - there are things in the show you might not love on their own, but in this context, all together, it carries you along."

This year, Dolan is doing the show in the same four Ameri­can cities as last year, and is also taking it to England. He says he chose Portland as one of the cities - the show will be at Space Gallery on Friday - because audiences here have always been receptive to his

The show is probably going to be three or four hours long, with no breaks, and with Dolan himself as the headliner, performing as a rapper.

Other performers scheduled include Grand Buffet, an indie rap group from

Pittsburgh; What Cheer? Brigade, an alt-marching band from Providence; Vockah Redu & The Cru, a bounce music group from New Orleans; Wheelchair Sports Camp, a Colorado-based "pseudo hip-hop" band; some folks in drag; and a few surprises.

Dolan got the idea for this show from all the various performances he's seen over the years - at clubs, burlesque shows, poetry slams, wher­ever.

"I've been a student of performance for a long time, looking at different kinds of performers and genres," said Dolan. "So I wanted to bring together those performers

cally a tale of the '90s rave scene in New York and how insane it can become and how far you can fall."

For the Portland party, the focus is going to be on insane outfits that feature things like dreadfalls (temporary colored hair pieces), furry leg warmers, anything fluorescent and, of course, black.

The Club Kid Contest will surely feature plenty of glow sticks and LED poi (spin­ning handheld colored lights).

"I imagine we'll line folks up, cheer for

the best outfits, then make the finalists do a 'dance-off,'" Black said.

As for the music, the Disco Blood Bath will include sets by D Js Znuh, Dehuman8 and Aldaroc playing "Club Kiddie Music."

To describe the sound, Black rattled off bands such as Orbital, Daft Punk, Prodigy and Chemical Brothers.

It all ties into the mission of Gothic Maine.

Per the group's website, it serves as an outlet for the Goth/industrial mu­sic scene in the state, and its focus is to "collaborate with all forms of Goth, industrial, musician, alternative, fetish or 'anyone who wears black' to express our culture in Maine."

Goals include bringing in fresh music and ideas; encouraging new people to participate in the scene; allow local DJs, artists, musicians and performers to do what they do best; and connect to regional scenes in New England and Montreal.

Why has Plague stood the test of time? Black's answer came easily:

"I would say consistency has kept us going. We're every week, we do all kinds of great theme nights so things stay fresh, and we offer a place for those into the darker side of life an outlet to be themselves."

But there's also another, perhaps more

important, reason for Plague's sustain-ability.

"If anything, we stay on the silly side of life, and we don't take ourselves seri­ously," Black said. "I don't think you can say that about many Goth clubs. Con­versations you might hear at the club range from comic books to Renaissance fairs to philosophy to computer program­ming. We're all some flavor of 'geek.' We welcome anyone as long as they're respectful.

"And no, you don't have to wear black."

Chikara adopts the practices of theMexican wrestling style known as luchalibre, including the use of masks to con-ceal identities and an emphasis on tagteams and mixed weight classes.

But the fun factor is also up front andcenter. How can it not be, with wrestlersdressing up as insects and superheroesand sporting stage names like Ice CreamJr., "the delicious dairy deviant"?
