Said and Done is about every-thing that could happen after —wait for it — all has been said anddone.
Sundown Collaborative The-atre’s latest show started with a pro-posal from Denton artist KaseyTackett.
Tackett tried to suppose whatmight happen after the end of ev-erything. In Said and Done, whichopens Friday, ideas — and ideals —emerge in the form of characters.
Life and Death take a prome-nade with Faith and Science. Adam(could he be a manifestation of thefirst human being in Genesis?) ap-pears, Nature gets on with its prodi-gal self and Time can’t be dis-counted.
This is Tackett’s first play, andthe Denton singer and actress ismaking her directorial debut. She’sdirected staged readings in town,and she’s worked with Sundown be-fore, but this is her first time to takethe helm of a fully produced, full-length show.
Said and Done was createdwith the playwright, players and di-rector. Together, the company cre-ated a play about the characterswho have a itch to be known — to befelt and understood. The universehas been destroyed, and all of thecharacters are still together, existingin a single atom. One thing is cer-tain: There will be a struggle.

From left: Life (Nathan Perkins) and Death (Cesar Valesco) wreak havoc with Nature
(Kayla Williams), much to the amusement of Science (Tashina Richardson). Mean-
while, Faith (Lindsay Harris) hides out. Sundown Collaborative Theatre’s “Said and
Done” is a story about the essential human ideals, crowded together in the last atom in
the ravaged universe.

This weekend marks the15th year Denton CityDance Conservatory will
stage A Gift for Emma, a holidayfantasia in dance.
Created by artistic directorLisa Racina, Emma borrows thespirit and tradition of Christmasand replaces a ho-hum winterrecital with a story about Emma,a street urchin who sneaks into adance studio, falls asleep under aChristmas tree and takes a jour-ney. Curious creatures fromearth and sea as well as child-hood visions usher Emmathrough a dreamscape and, ulti-mately, give her the gift of dance.
Racina drafted dancers fromamong her students at DentonCity Contemporary Ballet andits home studio, Denton DanceConservatory. A Gift for Emmapairs emerging dancers withprofessional performers.
Professional guest artists re-turn. Yulia Ilina, an alumna ofthe Kiev Ballet, brings touches ofThe Nutcracker to the produc-tion in her classical grand pas dedeux. Chris Koehl, a former fac-ulty member of the Denton con-
servatory and a contender onthe eighth season of So YouThink You Can Dance, repriseshis popular performance of therobot doll in the show.
Racina’s heart might beat forballet, but her busy conservatoryteaches tap, jazz, hip-hop andmodern dance, and Emma stillshowcases the forms with its G.I.
Joe dancers, graceful jellyfishand tap-dancing elves. Morethan 200 performers appear inthe holiday tradition.

The real-life women of Cal-endar Girls were all ladies“of a certain age.”
As members of the RylstoneWomen’s Institute of Yorkshire,England, the women weren’t inthe business of making waves ortesting boundaries. They justwanted to raise enough moneyto buy a sofa for a hospital wait-ing room.
But they did make waves —and raise a lot money — by tak-ing their clothes off for a tastefulbut provocative calendar.
The stage comedy, based onthe 2003 film, follows bestfriends Chris Harper and AnnieClarke. Chris urges Annie, who’slost her husband to leukemia, tochampion the idea of a nude cal-endar to do something novel
and raise money for the much-needed seat. As the calendarearns media attention, the wom-en’s relationships are tested.
Greater Lewisville Commu-nity Theatre is the first Texascompany to produce the comedyinspired by a real-life story.
One of the institute’s mem-bers had spent hours in a localhospital, where her husbandstruggled through cancer anddied in 1998. When she men-tioned the need for a comfort-able spot for grieving families,her best friend and fellow insti-tute member suggested a nudecalendar. The project raised mil-lions for leukemia and lympho-ma research.
Denton actresses DenaDunn and Kay Lamb play theprincipal roles of Chris, thewoman who instigated the cal-endar, and retired schoolteacherJessie.
Terri Hagar Scherer directs,and Denton writer Donna
Trammell is assistant director. The cast and some members
of the crew created their owncalendar, available during therun of the show for $15. Proceedsfrom the local calendar will ben-efit the North Texas Leukemia &Lymphoma Society.

estival Hall will be filledwith sounds of gospelChristmas music, and the
smells of a hot breakfast from 10a.m. to noon Saturday at the Pat-terson-Appleton Center for thePerforming Arts.
The sixth annual GospelBrunch raises money for thenonprofit Fred Moore DayNursery School, which operatesa child care center for childrenfrom six weeks old to 3 years oldon Cross Timber Street. Chil-dren ages 3 to 5 attend FredMoore Day Nursery School atthe Gonzalez School for YoungChildren on Long Road.
The school serves low-in-come families who need afford-able care for infants, toddlersand young children. Fees arebased on parent income, and thewaiting list is usually long.
Board member Sam Bays
and Fred Moore Day NurserySchool Executive Director Wen-dy McGee said the brunch willraise money to finish the newaddition on the Cross TimberStreet site.
The 4,322-square-foot addi-tion includes two new class-rooms and a large activity roomthat were completed last spring.Before the rooms go into use,school officials need to get a cer-tificate of occupancy — whichwas expected to come in thisweek — and to furnish therooms.
Funds will also go towardbuying curricula for the school,McGee said.
“This is a really exciting timefor us,” McGee said. “The lastfew years, we’ve almost doubledthe number of children we servethanks to the partnership wehave with Gonzalez. About 64children attend the Cross Tim-ber space, and 69 go out to Gon-zalez. That made a huge differ-
ence for us.”McGee took over the direc-
torship of the school about twoyears ago, and has worked withthe school’s staff to improvetraining. She joined her staff intaking child development asso-ciate training through the state.
“I don’t come from an earlychildhood background, so Ithought it would benefit me asmuch as it would the staff,” shesaid.
Bays said the Texas Work-force Commission providedsome scholarships for schoolstaff to take the training. Baysand the board have busiedthemselves writing grants tocomplete the school’s CrossTimber Street expansion, whichincludes parking for parents forsafer morning drop-off.
Once the addition is opera-tional, the school’s offices willmove to spaces in the activityroom, putting McGee and thestaff in greeting distance of par-
ents and children. Bays said the annual Gospel
Brunch is a relaxed, fun event forschool officials to meet schoolsupporters. It also attracts gos-pel music fans who are ready forholiday music. The school’s staffcook, who was recruited byMcGee to prepare fresh, whole-some food to the children, pre-pares the brunch.
McGee said attendees can
enjoy the music, all while help-ing children in Denton get a sol-id start in school. It might seemlike walls, floors and bathroomsdesigned for tiny children, butMcGee said the brunch is verymuch about the big picture.
“This space means a lot forthese children: Lower dropoutrates. Better nutrition. Socialand emotional health,” she said.“And this activity room is a spacewhere we can have parentingclasses and onsite vaccinations.”
Gospel musicians and choirson the program include PeacefulRest Baptist Church, St. JamesAME Church, Mount PilgrimCME Church, Barbara Scott,Denise Stephens, EffieMcQueen & the Gospelaires, Er-nestine Lewis, Tonya Johnson,Deacon Evans & the Gospe-laires, the Friendly Five, Amer-ican Legion Seniors, and thecombined choirs of Fred MooreDay Nursery School and FredMoore at Gonzalez.

COVER STORY
Two of the top jazz ensembles at the Univer-sity of North Texas College of Music willmake history on Saturday night.
The UNT One O’clock Lab Band will share aconcert with the UNT Jazz Singers. Each will per-form a short program before performing threenumbers together.
Trumpet professor Jay Saunders, the interimdirector of the One O’clock Lab Band, said theconcert, “Sounds of the Holidays,” was supposed tohappen about a year ago.
Then came “Icemageddon,” a four-day deep

freeze that immobilized the city and shut downschools for about a week.
“We got iced out,” Saunders said. Both Saunders and Jennifer Barnes, who’s di-
rected the UNT Jazz Singers since 2011, were sur-prised their ensembles hadn’t shared the stage be-fore.
“I’m like you,” Saunders said. “It seems like thetwo groups ought to have performed together be-fore now.
Barnes said it’s probably inertia that kept theJazz Singers and the One O’clock Lab Band on

separate programming tracks.College divisions have distinctmissions and aims, not to men-tion plenty of work to do. Barnessaid members of the Jazz Sing-ers have worked with the labbands before as soloists.
“I think, since I got here, thatwas definitely a goal that I had,and Jay was interested in seeingthe two groups work together,”Barnes said. “The One O’clockLab Band is a world-class en-semble, basically a professionalperforming ensemble. I wantedto have the world-class instru-mental jazz ensemble and theworld-class vocal jazz groupwork together.”
Saunders said the audiencewill get a sampler of sorts duringthe concert.
“The band is going to do fournumbers, the singers will do fournumbers, and then they’ll dothree numbers together,” hesaid. “The three songs the twogroups will perform togetherwere arranged by students.”
Barnes said she arranged vo-cal lines for Karen Carpenter’s“Merry Christmas, Darling” andstudent composer Aaron Heden-strom arranged the instrumentalscore for it. Composition studentDrew Zaremba, a former mem-ber of the Jazz Singers, arrangedone of the joint numbers.
Barnes and Saunders saidthe technical demands of bring-ing the two groups into Win-spear Hall eclipse the perfor-mance challenges.
“They are obvious with theJazz Singers and a large grouplike this,” Saunders said. “Thesingers need mics and monitorsfor themselves. And the lab bandtypically uses some of that, too.For the number involved here,it’s going to be acoustic, band-wise. We would need somethingfrom Hollywood for a 21-pieceorchestra and a 17-piece vocal
group. So we’ve had to workaround that.”
The Jazz Singers usually per-form with keyboard, bass andguitar and drums. The group per-forms some a cappella jazz, too.
The concert will feature jazzarrangements of holiday popclassics and a few arrangementsof carols. Saunders said the labband’s audience favorites willprobably be the secular holidayclassics.
“Most of our stuff is the holi-day pop stuff,” Saunders said.“No Messiahs for us. It’s doable[but] I’m not sure people wantit.”
Barnes said there’s no short-age of Christmas music, butthere aren’t as many arrange-ments for big band and jazz cho-rus. And there’s a certain line avocal jazz group must treadwhen they are performing
Christmas music.“I definitely chose ‘The
Christmas Song,’ which mostpeople think is ‘Chestnuts Roast-ing on an Open Fire.’ Mel Tormewrote it, which a lot of peopledon’t know, and it’s definitely ajazz oriented song,” she said.
The Jazz Singers will give“Jingle Bells” a light touch, too.
“I think the instrumentalistscan mess it up a little more andpeople don’t mind because itdoesn’t mess with a lyric,” Barnessaid. “I’ve been talking with theJazz Singers a lot, telling themthat this concert is different be-cause we’ll have some peoplewho maybe aren’t big jazz fans,but they love the music andwant to tap their toes. And thosefolks need it to sound pretty. Wecan’t mess it up too much, be-cause we have the lyrics.”
Saunders and Barnes saidthe concert is good training forboth groups.
“It allows the improvisers, aswell as the student arrangers, topractice improvising and ar-ranging jazz music in the Christ-mas spirit — to keep things hap-py and light,” Barnes said, add-ing that the groups will experi-
ence the uptick in energy thatcomes from such a large groupof performers being onstage to-gether.
“You have to work a littleharder at the listening part,” shesaid. “On the flip side, when theband hits a big fat chord and thevocals are nice and spread out —that is really exciting.”
The One O’clock Lab Bandand Jazz Singers will reunite onApril 16-17 for a concert honor-ing the College of Music’s acqui-sition of the collection of jazz vo-calist and arranger Gene Puer-ling.

OPENING FRIDAY
The Babadook (★★ 1⁄2) This Austra-
lian horror film centers on the recent-
ly widowed Amelia (Essie Davis),
mother to 7-year-old terror Samuel
(Noah Wiseman). The overactive son
reads a pop-up children’s book about
the mythical demon Babadook and
then thinks the monster is every-
where, eventually causing his mother
to maybe think the same thing. Or is
she slowly going mad? Writer-direc-
tor Jennifer Kent uses the usual tricks
of the genre to deliver a standard yet
sometimes effective set of chills. Not
rated, 93 minutes. At the Texas
Theatre in Dallas and Alamo Drafth-
ouse in Richardson. — Boo Allen
Diplomacy (Diplomatie) (★★★ 1⁄2)
In August 1944, Allied forces ap-
proach Paris. German Gen. von
Choltitz (Niels Arestrup) has orders to
destroy Paris in his retreat. If he fails,
his family in Berlin will be killed.
Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling
(Andre Dussollier) intervenes with a
way for the general to save his family
as well as Paris. Volker Schlondorff
directs the French-language film from
Cyril Gely’s play, a talky, claustropho-
bic production that nevertheless
conveys the situation’s urgency and
suspense. Schlondorff dedicates his
film to late diplomat Richard Hol-
brook. Not rated, 84 minutes. At the
Angelika Film Center in Dallas. — B.A.
The One I Wrote for You A barista
and family man (Cheyenne Jackson)
gets a second chance at his dream of
becoming a singer-songwriter. Family
film shot and produced in San An-
tonio. With Christine Woods, Christo-
pher Lloyd, Kevin Pollak and Avi Lake.
Story and original music by David
Kauffman. Directed by Andy Lauer.
Rated PG, 111 minutes.
NOW PLAYING
Alexander and the Terrible,
Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
A boy experiences a calamitous day
and learns that he’s not alone when
his family members face their own
tribulations in this comedy based on
the Judith Viorst children’s book. With
Ed Oxenbould, Steve Carell and
Jennifer Garner. Rated PG, 80 min-
utes. — Los Angeles Times
Big Hero 6 (★★★ ) Directed by Don
Hall (Winnie the Pooh) and Chris
Williams (Bolt), the animated Big
Hero 6 is a fine blend of sweetness
and spectacle, East and West. The
meeting of Disney and Marvel sensi-
bilities, though, is a more mixed
union. When the young inventor Hiro
(voiced by Ryan Potter) and the
lovable robot Baymax (Scott Adsit)
strap on their body armor, girding for
battle, the movie’s charms are cam-
ouflaged. Also in 3-D. Rated PG, 95
minutes. — The Associated Press
Dumb and Dumber To Two idiots
go on a road trip to locate the daugh-
ter one of them had but never knew
existed in this sequel to the 1994 film
Dumb and Dumber. With Jim Carrey,
Jeff Daniels and Laurie Holden. Direct-
ed by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrel-
ly. Rated PG-13, 109 minutes. — LAT
Fury (★★★ ) Brad Pitt stars as a top
sergeant in World War II in charge of
a tight-knit tank crew (Jon Bernthal,
Michael Pena and Shia LaBeouf)
joined by a raw soldier (Logan Ler-
man). Writer-director David Ayer
delivers a fairly standard war movie.
The special effects help render a
grim, realistic portrait of men in
battle. Rated R, 135 minutes. — B.A.
Horrible Bosses 2 Having haplessly
tried to murder their bosses in the
first Horrible Bosses, Jason Bateman,
Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis return
as hopeful inventors. They go into
business with a bath product dubbed
“Shower Buddy.” The entrepreneurial
efforts of the film’s ever-yammering
trio, of course, fail, and the film
descends into a thinly sketched
kidnapping plot that serves mainly to
space its celebrity cameos. With
Christoph Waltz, Chris Pine, Jamie
Foxx, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer
Aniston. Rated PG-13, 108 minutes. —
AP
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay
— Part 1 (★★ ) Jennifer Lawrence
returns as Katniss Everdeen in the
first film based on the third novel
from Suzanne Collins’ trilogy. Katniss
serves as District 13’s promotional
tool, setting up the final showdown
with President Snow (Donald Suther-
land). Director Francis Lawrence’s
perpetually gloomy settings filled
with massive green-screen displays
of destruction eventually grow repeti-
tious with a distinct lack of action or
energy. With Juliane Moore, Philip
Seymour Hoffman and Elizabeth
Banks. Rated PG-13, 123 minutes. —
B.A.
Interstellar (★★★ ) Writer-director
Christopher Nolan creates a special-
effects extravaganza about a crew of
astronauts leaving a doomed Earth
for parts unknown to find a habitable
environment where humans can live.
Matthew McConaughey heads an
impressive cast dwarfed by the
special effects and an overly talkative
script. With Anne Hathaway, Jessica
Chastain, Michael Caine and Wes
Bentley, Casey Affleck. Rated PG-13,
169 minutes. — B.A.
Nightcrawler (★★★★ ) Jake Gyllen-
haal’s bold, committed performance
makes Nightcrawler one of the most
entertaining movies of the year —
though hardly the most profound.
Gyllenhaal plays Lou Bloom, a forlorn
petty thief who discovers the “night-
crawlers” — freelance cameramen
who follow police scanner traffic to
grisly scenes. Compelling and alto-
gether impressive directorial debut
for screenwriter Dan Gilroy. Rated R,
117 minutes. — AP
The Penguins of Madagascar
(★★★ 1⁄2) In this clever, fast-paced
animated delight, a quartet of Antarc-
tic penguins are shanghaied to vari-
ous places around the world when
they join the mighty North Wind
organization to fight off the world-
domination efforts of Dave the Octo-
pus (voiced by John Malkovich). This
latest from Dreamworks Animation
never falters, delivering quips, one-
liners, and some groan-inducing name
puns. Additional voices by Benedict
Cumberbatch, Ken Jeong, Peter
Stormare, Andy Richter, and, most
hilariously, Warner Herzog as a film
documentarian. Rated G, 91 minutes.
— B.A.
Saving Christmas A man tries to
save his sister’s annual Christmas
party from his dour brother-in-law by
showing him the biblical basis of the
holiday celebration. With Kirk Camer-
on, Darren Doane and Bridgette
Ridenour. Written by Doane and
Cheston Hervey. Directed by Doane.
Rated PG, 80 minutes. — LAT
St. Vincent (★★★ 1⁄2) Movie about a
curmudgeon stars the singular Bill
Murray at his grumpy best. Vincent
(Murray) needs money, and soon he’s
baby-sitting his new neighbor, 12-
year-old Oliver (the appealing Jaeden
Lieberher), every afternoon. Written
and directed by Theodore Melfi. Rated
PG-13, 102 minutes. — AP
