OUTintheArts Comedy of Manners... WITHOUT Manners by Pat Patrick Tennessee Repertory Theatre will present the Tennessee premiere of God of Carnage, winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play. Written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton, this scathing comedy is a recent major motion picture release (Carnage, directed by Roman Polanski and starring Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet). God of Carnage runs February 4 – 18 at TPAC’s Johnson Theater (with preview performances February 2 - 3). The other day in the neighborhood park, little Benjamin whacked his playmate Henry with a stick, breaking two teeth. So it is important that the par- ents of the boys set the right example and sit down to discuss the matter calmly and reasonably, right? After all, nothing will be gained by behaving like children… In God of Carnage, two sets of parents get togeth- er to calmly discuss the bad behavior of their young sons and they soon descend into an immaturity that, by contrast with what they say they are trying to be, is perfect parody of self-important politically correct grown-ups. The play asks the questions: What are we REALLY like underneath, when on the outside we’re pretending to be adults in a civilized society? What happens if we are driven to drop the façade? What would happen if we all said what we really think, unfettered by the constrai nts of politeness? Human nature, red in tooth and claw. Yasmina Reza—the writer who drew maximum laughs from Minimalist art in Art—uses her corros ive wit to strip away the thin veneer of civilization in this Tony Award-winning comedy of manners… without the manners. “This is the one play I knew we’d do the moment we could get rights for it—sharp dialogue and characters requiring exceptional acting that makes us really look at ourselves and our behaviors.” says Tennessee Rep Producing Artistic Director René D. Copeland. “God of Carnage is an acting tour de force, and I am especially excited by a play that offers four meaty roles. The best part of my job is getting to work with ter rific actors in amazing roles, so I look forward to sharing with you the acting talent that can drive this one home. Human nature needs to be poked with a sh arp stick now and then— I Iove the way this play does that. Quite simply, this Tony winner is one of the most scathingly funny plays out there today, revealing and reveling in human nature, and one that Middle Tennessee deserves to see in its own backyard.” The production stars David Alford in his dramatic return to the Tennessee Rep stage. Alford last starred in David Mamet’s Glen garry Glen Ross for which he was voted Best Local Actor in The Tennessean’s “Toast of Music City” Awards. "From an actor's standpoint, it's pretty rare that you come across a play like God of Carnage,” says Alford. “Four great roles with really specific, well- defined characters in a compelling story that you know is going to res- onate with an audience. The play's beautifully structured, and it's going to be a real workout for the actors. It's been a while since I've read some- thing and thought 'I really want to do this.' I can't wait to jump in." In addition to Alford, the cast features Jeff Boyet, Shannon Hoppe, Rubenfeld Law Office and Shelean Newman. Tickets are available for God of Carnage by calling 615/782-4040, Abby R.

heeart Back to Basics T H of the Matter Th H er a e v  s e  ee y m o s u     th n e o r t e i   c i e s  d  ne t v h e a r t     a l   i s f i e  m s p e l e e  m a s n   s S w O er    t c o o   m be p   l h ic a a d t   e f d o   r  o a f n   y l   a s t i e t ? - uation. Yet, there is also a yearning, almost primal hunger, for a simpler day and time. Where the things we do matter, and are more than just a Facebook status. We live in a world where we can have thousands of “friends,” but never really be known or know the people with whom we say we are “friends.” We have replaced the basics of human relation- ships with technology that when used properly could augment, but would never be a replacement for, authentic enduring friend- ships, families and faith. One of the most disjointed things we see is a desire for people to claim faith, but have not true comprehension of what that faith entails. In a recent video a young man was talking about how he hated the Church, but loved Jesus. In the video he makes criticisms that ByRev.GregBullard are far from accurate, and reflect a lack of what Jesus actually said about the church, his followers, and many other things. If you are Christian we need to remember, Jesus said he would build HIS Church – not individual followers – building a community – not a private group where we invite only those we like and with whom we agree, or that only includes us. To put it another way is that the Godhead is a community (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) and to be made in His image means we also need that type of community – that type of knowing and being known. To be honest, it does not matter to which community of faith you belong, but belong somewhere you must if you ever wish to reach your fullest potential. In community we are challenged to look beyond our own perspective. We are challenged when hurt to see that we have hurt others and find forgiveness as we share forgiveness. Your best will NEVER come from you being or doing alone. That is true spir- itually, emotionally, financially, or any other way. The only path to success is through a community – but be careful of the type of community and culture in which you find yourself and seek to thrive. Seek a community where you will truly be known and know others. It takes time, but is well worth the effort. In such communities there will be fights and forgiveness, a challenge to sacrifice for the com- mon good and a willingness to let others help when you need it. They are not perfect – they are real. If you want a place without challenges or a need for you to sacrifice something for others you really do not want friends, family or faith – you want to be God. This month I encourage you to get back the basics of relating to people in real and tangible ways. Give up social media for a week. Connect and commit to a community of faith. Until you are willing to be truly known you will never find the fullness of what is in store for you. Blessings, Pastor Greg --- Rev. Greg Bullard is the pastor of Covenant of the Cross Church www.covenantofthecrosscom. You may reach him at [e-mail]

Over Natalie Merchant's 30-year career, she has earned a distinguished place among America's most respected recording artists with a reputation for being a prolific songwriter with a compelling artistic vision and a unique and captivating performance style. With her latest and highly acclaimed Nonesuch recording entitled, Leave Your Sleep, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at No. 17, Natalie Merchant embarks on a new artistic path, creating songs from literary inspiration which are com- posed for expanded musical ensembles and orchestra. In conjunction with her next orchestral recording (release planned for spring 2012), Natalie Merchant will undertake an extensive touring project performing with symphony orchestras throughout the world. Natalie Merchant began her musical career as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the pop music band 10,000 Maniacs and released two platinum and four gold records with the group between 1981 and 1993 (The Wishing Chair, In My Tribe, Blind Man's Zoo, Hope Chest, Our Time in Eden, and MTV Unplugged). Together with artists like R.E.M., they defined college rock and created the first wave of alternative rock bands and what became known as the alternative rock format on FM radio. In 1994, Natalie Merchant began her solo career with a self-produced debut album, Tigerlily (1995). In the years following, she released Ophelia (1998), Natalie Merchant Live (1999) and Motherland (2001). In 2003, Merchant independently released an album of American and British folk music, The House Carpenter’s Daughter, on her own label, Myth America Records. In 2005, she curated a collection of her own work for a double album, Retrospective and another for her former band, Campfire Songs. Natalie Merchant has collaborated both on stage and in the studio with a wide range of artists including Philip Glass, Wynton Marsalis, David Byrne, The Chieftains,

up in his addiction that he fails to see that his sister is slowly unraveling herself and she’s on the edge of doing something damaging. Steve McQueen is a master at building suspense in a film. As each scene passes in this film we are left on the edge of our seat wondering if our main character can sink any lower into despair. McQueen’s ability to shoot a scene where we can feel the chemistry between two characters radiate off the screen is just incredible. Carey Mulligan gives a heart wrenching performance as Brandon’s sister who is looking for a place to belong. In one scene Mulligan sings, “New York, New York,” a song about belonging to New York in such a real, heart stopping way that the viewer is forced to see this fragile creature begin to unravel just by singing a song. We watch her character try- ing to connect with her brother unsuccessfully. Every time she tries to reach out to her brother he smacks her away. In one other emotional scene her brother asks her why she is there and she replies, “I’m here to help you.” We know that she’s there looking for her brother to help her and that is what makes her character so sad is that she wasn’t brave enough to tell her brother that she needed help. Michael Fassbender is a revelation in the main role of Brandon Sullivan. At the start of the film we see that he likes to have sex, but as the film goes on we begin to watch this character descend into a hole of despair and misery. Brandon ignores people and the world around him in order that he can get his fix or sex and porn. We watch him spiral out of control to the point where he is openly mocking a girl’s boyfriend that he has just hit on. All this leads to one of the most shocking choices our lead character makes, which I won’t spoil because it shows how far a straight man addicted to sex and porn will go to satisfy his addiction. Brandon is so caught up in his own addiction that he neg- lects his sister with devastating consequences. This film was so amazing and riveting to me. The opening train sequence is one of the best film sequences I’ve ever witnessed. Brandon is staring at this woman sitting across the aisle on the train. The woman smiles politely, but Brandon keeps staring at her. The woman begins to feel uneasy and we can see tears forming in her eyes, but Brandon keeps staring her down. Beautiful sequence. “Shame” is a film not to be missed. It uncovers things about addiction that some people may not have been aware of before. Fassbender is well on his way to an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for this film. **** Overall rating: 4/5
