Local attorney John Walls, 43, has always had a profound love of mu-sic, art, performance and the stage. After being forced to focus on his career and his family for some time, Walls is looking to make his return to the theater as Nathan Detroit in the Civic Theatre’s “Guys and Dolls.”

“I started singing and dancing in

junior high and high school. They (schools) had a fantastic music program at Moorseville,

where I attended school at the time,” said Walls. “After that, I attended Indiana University. I didn’t want to major in music. I knew I didn’t want a career in it, but I wanted to con-tinue doing it. Its program was large enough I would be eligible for differ-ent types of performance as long as I was good enough, not just if I was majoring in it.”

“When I started graduate school, I left it all behind, and I’ve always missed it,” said Walls. “The last (performance) I did was around 16 years ago.”

After following his niece’s involvement with local community theater, Walls decided to take a chance and audition for a small part in the upcoming production of the Broadway classic, “Guys and Dolls.”

“I originally auditioned for a smaller, sup-porting role, but got a call back for Nathan Detroit, a leading role in the show,” said Walls. “I felt very humbled they (production mem-bers) took that kind of a risk on me as a first-time performer with them, and as someone who had not performed in so long.”

Walls says he understands the pressure is now on him to deliver with his performance. The rehearsal schedule is a massive investment, especially the volunteer status of those in-volved.

Starting this week, Actors Theatre of Indiana will be closing out its 2011-2012 season with “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” The musical comedy is the second-longest-running off-Broadway musical. It first premiered in 1996 and continued until July 2008 after 5,003 performances.

“The show is about people trying to con-nect. It’s very, very funny and really follows the fine line of relationships,” said Don Farrell, co-founder of ATI, the show’s director and a member of the cast. “The central idea of the show is based in truth. We spend the first half of our lives trying to find the perfect mate, and then the second half trying to change him or her.”

Farrell first saw the show years ago while on a date. He found himself and his date pok-ing fun at one another over the similarities between the events portrayed on the stage and the events they had been through in their own relationship.

“It is the perfect show for date night,” said Farrell.

The show is comprised of a number of vi-gnettes connected by the central theme of love and relationships and utilizes a cast of four,

along with two musicians, a pianist and a violin-ist. Farrell was quick to point out the entire cast and crew members are talented and quite estab-lished throughout Indiana.

“Everyone in our production is a profes-sional in his or her respective trade,” said Farrell. “That’s one of the things that set ATI apart from other theater companies in the area. It’s the dif-ference between professional theater and com-munity theater.”

ATI has rated the performance PG-13. Farrell stated while the show certainly doesn’t include R-rated elements, some portions wouldn’t be appropriate for children.

For a chance to win two tickets to “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” search “Ac-tors Theatre of Indiana” on Facebook and “Like” its page.

‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’ hopes to create the perfect date night

Commentary by Brian Barrett Readers’ Advisory Librarian

In this riveting mystery, the focus is not on who commits the crime, but what happens after the crime is committed. Early in the story, Yasuko Hanaoka kills her abusive ex-husband when she and her teenage daughter are forced to defend them-selves against him. What follows is a high-stakes chess match between two brilliant minds: Yasuko’s next door neighbor Ishi-gami, a quiet high school math teacher harboring a secret crush on the beauti-ful Yasuko, who assists in covering up the crime; and Ishigami’s former univer-sity classmate Yukawa, a talented physicist, who is helping the police with its investigation. After a brief reunion be-tween the two, Yukawa is convinced Ishigami is somehow involved with the crime.

It is fascinating to read how Ishigami at-tempts to stay one step ahead of the police by

misdirecting them at every turn. The plot is flawlessly constructed and tension mounts as the motivations of each character are slowly revealed. The writing style is straightforward

with clear prose and vivid description. The reader gets to experience everyday life in Tokyo, such as the public transport system, crowded apartment build-ings and police procedure. Twists and turns abound as one needs to pay close attention to the details to see if the unassuming math teacher will outwit the clever physicist. The interaction between these two intriguing characters is captivating, with even the most tedious conversation occasionally divulging im-portant clues.

Fans of police procedur-als and mysteries set in other nations may en-joy this gripping story. Enormously popular in Japan, this mystery was recently translated into English and has been nominated for the 2012 Edgar Award for Best Mystery Novel.

The Local Reposado

Commentary by Chris Lloyd

A compact, tidy little heist thriller, "Con-traband" took in a major score at the box office early this year, raking in $66 million on a budget of just $25 million. And it features Mark Wahlberg being so effective in a role tailor-made for him, as the cool confidence man, the underdog who keeps one step ahead of those look-ing to do him in.

I must confess that early in his career, I was not a fan of Wahlberg's thespian skills. Truth be told, I mocked him for his wooden line delivery and unyielding sour expression. But he's grown considerably as an actor over the years, and seems to have gotten smart about what sort of parts work best for him.

Wahlberg plays Chris Faraday, a one-time expert smuggler who's decided to go straight. But he gets sucked by into that world when his brother-in-law dumps a large shipment of drugs after the authorities raid his boat.

The local crime boss (Giovanni Ribisi) insists Chris cover the loss, and the only way to raise that kind of scratch quickly is to head to Pana-

ma on a counterfeiting scheme.Loosely adapted from an Icelandic film,

"Contraband" is tightly-wound and a great star showcase for Wahlberg.

Movie: B
