FALL ARTSspotlight on

heading this way

Fans have been reading Mar-vel comic books for decades and watching superheroes like Spider-man, Captain America and Iron Man sweep the box office and set records. Now, for the first time ever, audiences will get the chance to experi-ence their favorite Marvel char-acters live and in-action.

Marvel’s first-ever, live-ac-tion arena spectacular “Marvel Universe Live!” puts fans right in the middle of an exhilarat-ing battle of good versus evil. Atlanta fans will have two op-portunities to catch the highly

anticipated show, because it will be at Philips Arena Dec. 20-22 and The Arena at Gwin-nett Dec. 26-28.

“Marvel Universe Live” has an original story that brings

more than 25 Marvel

characters, the most ever as-sembled in one production, together on one epic quest. It’s framed around the battle over the Cosmic Cube, the source of ultimate power and one of the most feared and coveted trea-sures in the Marvel Universe. The Mighty Thor has shattered the cube to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, and the pieces are scattered all across the globe. Thor’s vil-lainous brother Loki devises a scheme to clone its powers, inciting a threat that could not only obliterate the Earth but also the entire Universe.

To defeat Loki, Marvel’s biggest super heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man and Wolverine, must band together to retrieve the Cosmic Cube fragments and unite them. As the super heroes track the cube, they will encounter some of their biggest adversaries including Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Red Skull, Madame Hydra, Aldrich Killian, Electro and more.

This month the Fern-bank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta is offer-ing two new attractions. The “Goose Bumps! The Science of Fear” exhibit gives guests the opportu-nity to learn about their bodies’ physical reaction to fear in a safe envi-ronment, and the latest IMAX film “Pandas: The Journey Home” will give

viewers an upclose and 5-story-tall view of the gi-ant pandas of the Wolong National Nature Reserve as they are released into the wild.

On Sept. 27, the “Goose Bumps! The Science of Fear” exhibit will open to the public. The journey into understanding the human body’s biological reaction to fear begins with kid-friendly host Mr. Goose Bumps in the Fear Lab which has hands-on

activities, videos and in-teractive displays showing how the brain and body work together. The Chal-lenge Course uses interac-tive displays that safely allow guests to face four common fears: animals, electric shock, loud noises and falling.

“‘Goose Bumps!’ is a truly interactive experi-ence,” Lynn Anders, Fernbank’s Education Programs Manager, said in a press release, “allow-

ing guests opportunities to safely investigate their own fears, as well as those of their friends and family.”

Now playing on Fern-bank’s 5-story-tall Rankin M. Smith IMAX Theatre is “Pandas: The Journey Home,” a 40-minute long documentary about reintroducing 300 gi-ant pandas into the wild. Narrated by actress Joely Richardson, the film will also give the audience a

look at the captive breed-ing program complete with footage of newborn and young giant pandas.

Anders, who is also Fernbank’s Animal Pro-grams Manager, said in a press release that Fern-bank is “thrilled” to offer the film.

“This film will provide the opportunity to learn more about these fascinat-ing creatures and how we can all impact the con-servation of endangered species across the world,” Anders said.

Tickets for “Goose

Bumps! The Science of Fear” are free with museum admission. Museum tickets are $18 for adults, $17 for stu-dents and seniors, $16 for children ages 3 to 12 and ages 2 and under are free. Admission to the IMAX® theatre requires a separate ticket. Fernbank will offer special viewing hours and ticket prices for the ex-hibit during Martinis and IMAX on Fridays from 6:30 to 10 p.m.

For more information, visit fernbankmuseum.org or call 404-929-6400.

‘Clybourne’ brings controversy, comedy to Aurora

Aurora audiences will be able to experience an uncensored journey filled with challenges and controversies in the play “Clybourne Park.”

The darkly satiri-cal Pulitzer Prize win-ning comedy makes its metro Atlanta debut on the Aurora stage Oct. 2-26. “Clybourne Park,” written by Bruce Nor-ris, is loosely based on Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun.” It brings to the surface callous, volatile issues regarding race and real estate in two acts that take place 50 years apart.

In the first act, 1959 homeowners Russ (Robin Bloodworth) and Bev (Tess Malis Kincaid) prepare to sell their home to the neighborhood’s first African-American family, but their overtly racist neighbor Karl (Joe Sykes) tries to persuade them otherwise. In an era where people tradi-tionally hide their true feelings, truth comes to light creating comically uncomfortable circum-stances, especially for Bev’s African-American maid Francine (Chelcy Cutwright) and her quiet husband Albert (Eric Little).

The second act flashes forward 50 years to the same house, as arrogant white man Steve, also played by Sykes, and his wife Lindsey (Cara Mantella) prepare to tear down the home to build a larger, more modern dwelling. With lawyers involved, the interested

parties tiptoe through so-cial politics, pitting race against real estate. The Aurora’s main curtain lifts in the second act to theatrically reveal the house with a half century of neglect, making it one of the few theaters re-gionally that are capable of producing this time-altering show.

Director Melissa Foulger said the play was a challenge for the cast because of the sensitive subject matter and con-troversial issues.

“This piece asks the actors to dig deep into themselves to deal with their own feelings about the issue of race and forc-es them to come to terms

with how they will por-tray characters that they may or may not necessar-ily agree with,” Foulger said. “This opened up a lot of conversation in the rehearsal room about our feelings about the char-acters and trying to find ways to make it real for the character, even if the actor didn’t agree.”

Foulger’s excited to see theater opening up con-troversial conversations and providing audiences with opportunities to dis-cuss current issues.

“For the audience, this play is going to open a lot of questions as well, specifically around the issues of race, gentri-fication, urban sprawl

and white flight, issues that Atlanta continues to struggle with today and is trying to solve through initiatives like the failed TSPLOST, the move of the Braves stadium and the ever changing dynamics of many of Atlanta’s neighborhoods. It will challenge them to think about where we started, where we are now and where we, as a community, want to end up,” Foulger said.

According to Foulger, “Clybourne Park” is unique experience be-cause audiences are able to watch a neighbor-hood’s 50-year progres-sion and see how race has played a part.

“The actors play dif-ferent characters in each act with some familial overlap that connects certain characters across the years,” Foulger said. “During this span, the house makes some stark changes as do the thoughts about who should live in the com-munity. While the mate-rial centers around some sensitive topics, it does so in a way that leaves you laughing. Humor is central to this play.”

“Clybourne Park” will

be presented Oct. 2-26 and is recommended for adult audiences. Tick-ets range from $20 to $40 per person, and a discount matinee will be available Wednes-day, Oct. 22 at 10 a.m. from $16 per person. There will be no evening performance on that day. Show times are Wednes-days through Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2:30 and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. For more information, visit aurora-theatre.com.

Hit animated film ‘Frozen’ comes to life at Philips

The No. 1 animated film of all time will come to life before audience’s eyes as Disney on Ice presents “Frozen” at Philips Arena.

The Academy-award winning tale will be told live for the first time in this production, capturing the dynamic relationship between royal sisters Anna and Elsa. The Dis-ney on Ice performance tells the same story of love and conquering fear from the film.

Anna, a girl with a big heart, embarking on an epic journey to find her magical sister Elsa. Elsa is determined to remain secluded as she finally feels free to test the lim-its of her powers. Rugged mountain man Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven,

the lovable and hilarious snowman Olaf and the magical trolls help Anna along the way. Audiences will be able to sing along with hit musical master-pieces like “Let it Go,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “Fixer Upper.”

In Disney On Ice pres-

ents “Frozen,” Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will take the audi-ence through the magical story based in Arendelle, with special appearances by beloved Disney prin-cesses and other favorite characters from Disney Pixar’s “Toy Story” and “Finding Nemo” and Dis-ney’s “The Lion King,” who all come together to

prove that true love is the greatest power of all.

“Our goal is to show-case these heartwarm-ing characters in a way that allows the audience to cheer and sing along

throughout this emo-tional journey,” Director Patty Vincent said in a press release.

To create a completely immersive experience for the audience, the set de-

sign will encompass the space from the ice sur-face up through the air, helping families feel like they are trekking up to the North Mountain with Anna, Kristoff and Sven and truly experience the storm inside Elsa. Elsa’s magic will be enhanced by state-of-the art special effects while her emo-tions will be conveyed through powerful skat-ing.

The response in At-lanta has been so great there have been three additional performances, bringing the total num-ber to 13 shows. Tickets are still available for purchase at philipsarena.com/events.

“Dirty Dancing — The Classic Story On Stage” will bring the same racy dance moves and iconic songs from the film to the Fox Stage Nov. 25-30. (Special Photos)

Musical ‘Dirty Dancing’ brings energy to the Fox

Audiences will be able to experience singing, dancing, summer romance and iconic lines like, “Nobody puts Baby in the corner” at the Fox Theatre this November.

“Dirty Dancing — The Classic Story On Stage” will play at the Fox Nov. 25-30. The staged musi-cal of the worldwide smash-hit film will give audiences the chance to see their favorite num-bers like “Hungry Eyes,” “Hey Baby,” “Do You Love Me?” and the heart-stopping “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” The musical closely follows the movie’s story line with a few additions about the Civil Rights Movement and some extra scenes.

The story takes place in the summer of 1963 while 17-year-old Fran-ces “Baby” Houseman is on vacation in New York’s Catskill Mountains with her older sister and parents. Mesmerized by the racy dance moves and pounding rhythms she dis-

covers in the resort’s staff quarters, Baby can’t wait to be part of the scene. Es-pecially when she catches the eye of Johnny Castle, the resort’s sexy dance instructor. Passions ignite and Baby’s life changes forever when she’s thrown into the deep end as Johnny’s leading lady, both on-stage and off.

Emily Rice (National Tour: “A Chorus Line”) plays Baby’s older sister, Lisa Houseman, who, ac-cording to Rice, has two main interests in the show: meeting a summer boy-friend — preferably one attending an Ivy league school — and painting her nails. Rice said so far audiences have left the

theater excited and satis-fied.

“The show follows the movie closely, but it’s an electric experience because it’s live. I was watching from backstage the other night and it was really exciting to see the movie, but live, because there’s an energy there. It’s very cool,” Rice said.

Rice’s favorite scene of the show is in the first act when Baby discovers the resort staff having a fun-filled party with racy dance moves.

“I love the number ‘Do You Love Me?’ in act one because it is so energetic. There’s two numbers back to back ‘Do You Love Me?’ and ‘Love Man,’ Rice said. “Everyone’s there and all dancing and having a big party, and Baby comes in and sees it for the first time. It just really captures the excitement of the show.”

“Dirty Dancing — The Classic Story On Stage” will play at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta Nov. 25-30, with a special performance at 7:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving. The performance schedule is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Satur-day at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 1 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets start at $33 and are available by visiting foxtheatre.org/dirtydanc-ing, calling 855-285-8499 or visiting the Fox The-atre Box Office at 660 Peachtree St. in Atlanta.

Marvel

A unique blend of aerial stunts, pyrotech-nics and cutting-edge special effects really bring the show to life for audiences. The cast fea-tures performers from all over the world trained in everything from martial arts to motocross.

Featured perform-ers include professional snow-skater and three-time X Games champ Phil Smage as Captain Ameri-ca, martial arts expert and AAU Junior Olympics/National Champion Kirk Jenkins as Wolverine. There will also be WMX Pro National Champion and two-time X Games winner Ashley Fiolek as Hydra Agent and 2012 X Games Silver Medalist Louise Forsley as Black Widow.

Gymnast Taylor Hem-meter plays a number of supporting roles including one of the Shield Agents battling Black Widow in the beginning of the show. She said the cast under-went a rigorous training and rehearsal schedule before opening the show.

“We spent three months at a huge train-ing warehouse in Florida where we rehearsed six days a week for eight to 12 hours a day learn-ing fight scenes, getting fitted for costumes and doing character research. We learned mannerisms. It was very detailed,” Hemmeter said. “The process was very long and intensive, but we were all there learning the show from the ground up. A lot of times you don’t get to build a show together from the very beginning.”

Hemmeter finds the show inspiring because of all the strong, domi-nant female characters

featured throughout the show.

“I think so many of the Marvel movies that have come out recently have been mostly about the

guys. The female char-acters in this show are so incredibly strong, and they do a lot of the heavy lifting work during the fight scenes,” Hemmeter

said. “I think it’s great because it’s not just little boys who are into these

super heroes, it’s girls, too. I love looking out at the audience and seeing little girls cheer for Black Widow, Captain Marvel and Madame Hydra.”

Albany native Bernard Lyght’s specialties are ac-robatics and motorcycles — he plays a Chitauri, an evil alien, and is also Spider-Man’s understudy. He is looking forward to coming back to Georgia this December and has family coming to see him perform at the Gwinnett Arena.

“It honestly feels really good to be coming back

home. We’ve spent a lot of time in big cities with tall buildings, and I can’t wait to get back to the coun-try,” Lyght said.

Lyght feels “Marvel Univers Live!” is unlike any other show out there and it’s a good family show filled with action and thrills.

“One of my favorite stunts is the car flip,” Lyght said. “In one of the first scenes, Maria Hill and Nick Fury are being attacked by Chiatari. They start to get the better of them and they flip the vehicle on stage.”
