Summer

guide
Music
By Chad Taylor
S
ay what you will about spring being a time of rebirth, but there’s just something about summer that seems to breed creativity. Maybe it’s all the extra
vitamin D from the sunlight, or maybe it’s just all the wispy sundresses, but summertime is a time for joy and a time for doing. We want to be active
and alive and outside enjoying ourselves. And most of the time, we want a live soundtrack to do it, too.
Well boy are we in luck, because the capital city is teeming with amazing musicians and venues. On any given night you can go out and enjoy something
new, fun and outstanding, and you can do most of it for the cost of a beer.
The following list covers an amazing array of music taking place from now until the end of August. But it’s not definitive. Dates are continually being
added and canceled, new venues are cropping up and old ones are saying goodbye. Use this list as your starting point: a guide to get your summer off on
the right foot. But check back regularly, and we’ll keep you abreast of what’s happening week to week.
It’s summer, and you live in an amazing city. Get out there and see what’s going on.

June 9 — The Tenors, Civic Center
Since their inception only five years ago, The Tenors have logged more
than 500 performances, thrilling audiences around the world with their
powerful voices and memorable melodies. Their blend of classical music,
contemporary pop and undeniable charm has garnered international success with music lovers of all ages. For this live performance, The Tenors will
draw selections from their new album, “Lead With Your Heart,” as well
as some of their past hits. “Lead With Your Heart,” which debuted at No.
1 on the Billboard crossover charts, stretches the boundaries of classical
crossover by combining classic songs and modern hits. From cover features
such as Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” and Elton John’s “Sorry Seems To
Be The Hardest Word” to the inspirational anthem “Amazing Grace,” and
one of the most recognizable and heroic Tenor arias, “Nessun Dorma,” the
diverse track list features a mix of pop favorites and classical staples along
with new compositions written and co-written by The Tenors.

ho needs New York? Many of the Broadway hits and classics that grace the Vaudeville stages in the Big Apple include the Des Moines metro on the tour. You don’t
have to be refined to appreciate a good theatrical production, and central Iowa
offers a host of stages — both indoor and outdoor — stories and talents. The options are so
eclectic, anyone will find him or herself satisfied with money well spent — that’s if there’s even
an admission fee to see the show at all. Several local productions are offered free of charge.
From improv comedians to Broadway thespians, here are few performances you’re not going
to want to miss, most of which are brought to you by local talents.

May 24-June 9 — “Lend Me a Tenor.”
Cleveland Grand Opera Company’s gala
season opener has come to Des Moines.
World famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform “Othello,” but when he finally arrives,
he’s drunk. Through a hilarious series of
mishaps, with two Othellos in costume and
two women en dishabille, the farce spins out
of control onstage and off. A sensation on
Broadway and in London’s West End, “Lend
Me a Tenor” is sure to continue its success at
the Des Moines Playhouse. $29. Des Moines

June 7-16 — “Time Stands Still.” Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies brings audiences a moving and at times
hilarious story about relationships, mid-life
crisis and the ties of friendship. James and
Sarah, a journalist and photographer, cope
with changes in life and their relationship
when Sarah’s injuries abroad force them to return home to New York. Praised by the New
York Times as a powerful drama that “crackles with bright wit and intelligence,” this surprisingly funny play prompts poignant questions about responsibility — to ourselves, to
our loved ones and to the world. StageWes,

William Shakespeare. Original choreography, magical music and magnificent dramatic displays, all set against the twinkling
cityscape. It’s an atmosphere of European elegance on the breezy downtown Des Moines
Riverwalk. So grab the kids, your best friend

Iowa Shakespeare Experience celebrates 10 years with the new
‘Shakesperience Festival of Classic Arts’
By Amber Williams
F
or years lovers of William Shakespeare have brought his classics to life for the people of Des Moines. This summer, the
Iowa Shakespeare Experience (ISE) is celebrating its fifth anniversary of offering Shakespeare productions at no charge to
attendees and its 10th anniversary of Shakespeare produced “al fresco.” To celebrate, ISE is cooking up a line-up of special
repertory shows, offering ancillary special events and kicking off an extraordinary Signature Party, which will become a new
annual fundraising tradition.
Of course, ISE also puts on the annual Shakespeare Festival for free and with multiple outdoor shows, pre-show concerts and
more — a cultured picnic like no other in the metro, at the Simon Estes Amphitheater overlooking the babbling Des Moines
River. Often confused with a similar group in town, Shakespeare on the Lawn, however the two are notably different — the latter puts on a single play for which it charges admission fees. Shakespearience Festival is free. Always has been, and likely always
will be, according to executive director Robin Heinemann.
“Because it’s our anniversary, we’re expanding our offerings and even changing the name,” she beamed.
With new partners in dance and music, the fine arts tradition has now been dubbed the Shakesperience Festival of the Classic
Arts, as its summer lineup will include classical dance offered by Ballet Des Moines as well as classical music by the Belin String
Quartet. Together, the trifecta will present a second free show this year, “Belin Ballet and the Bard,” which is slated to take the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ as performed by local Shakespearience Festival actors at the Simon Estes Amphitheater.
Simon Estes stage at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 13.
“The Shakespeare interpetation will be interwoven with dance and music,” Heinemann explained.
Iowa Shakespeare Experience is celebrating its growth and love for the Bard with a full line up of mainstage shows, as well,
two of which will be free. “The Passion of Othello,” will be the second free show at Simon Estes, July 18-21.
“It’s a really special show. It’s a full-length Shakespeare play with live music and dance and wonderful special effects and production values done by local talents,” Heinemann said.
This year, Heinemann said the ISE has extended its audition program to include the entire state, and student at the University of Iowa, in particular, will be showing their thespian talents
in Des Moines. Also new this year, guest director James Serpento will co-direct with ISE founding artistic director Lorenzo Sandoval.
“Lorenzo is going to take the stage in the lead role of ‘Othello,’ so James will be another pair of eyes, which is very exciting and special for the two directors to work together,” Heinemann said.
Be sure to bring a blanket or lawn chairs, a basket of goodies and a bottle of wine for this truly unique fine arts experience… and don’t forget the cork screw.

Art
By Jim Duncan
rt is big business, yet no one ever
talks about the “art industry.” That’s
probably because artists like to believe their calling is anti-industrial, that they
are the caretakers of beauty and nature in the
post-modern world. Besides, industrialists
often write artists off as mere children who
never grow up. Picasso even agreed with
them. Both sides make their points in summer. Like school kids, the art world closes
shop and heads to the beaches or the mountains during the hot season — except in Des
Moines.
Summer here is prime time for the fine
arts. Maestro Robert Larsen built a renowned
opera company into an international darling
by programming during Iowa summer. That
way he attracted talent that would otherwise
be engaged with more worldly companies.
Des Moines is also home to a summer arts
festival that has grown faster than corn in
July. Together, Des Moines Metro Opera
and the Des Moines Art Festival are arguably
the biggest events of the year in Iowa arts.
A
They have also inspired the rest of central Iowa’s cultural community to schedule
big summer events — Iowa Sculpture Festival presents its ninth annual fair while Art
Fest Midwest provides a more local version
of Des Moines Art Festival. Des Moines Art
Center’s (DMAC) big summer event this
year is “Phyllidia Barlow: Scree.” Three large
sculptures and a number of other works
show how this Jordi artist turned minimalism upside down. Barlow will also be curator
for an exhibition of DMAC treasures.
Elsewhere, summer dances in lighter
air. Landscape still reigns at Olson-Larsen.
American Pop at the Figge, skateboard art
at Heritage Gallery and Native American
bicycle art at the Iowa Memorial Union. At
Moberg Gaallery, Travis Rice distorts and
reconstructs landscapes that can become virtual playgrounds. At Steven Vail Gallery, 13
internationally renowned artists reveal personal takes on the circle. Fluxx Gallery takes
its show on the road, moving into a mobile
gallery with various docking points.

Shakespeare’s script. Whedon shows he can
deliver Shakespeare as well as he can take on
Marvel. “Much Ado About Nothing” is sure
to please all.
By David Rowley
S
ummer is here, which means a season
of new blockbusters will be flooding
the theaters. It’s time for all cinema
fans to move away from the award-winning
dramas of winter and look toward the action-packed, tanker-exploding, superheroflying, mega-budget flicks that entertain and
occasionally leave audiences with more then
they anticipated. It’s not about bringing
home Oscar with these movies. Rather it’s
about making money and showing just what
a big budget can really give to the audiences.
In a phrase, it’s Michael Bay season. So get
over any cinema snobbery and see some of
these flicks that are certain to entertain and
keep your blood racing even in the cool and
dark theater.
“Before Midnight”
May 24
Directed by Richard Linklater, starring Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick and Ariane
Labed
Rated R, 108 minutes
There are some love stories that exist as
There’s nothing quite like a good magic
trick and anticipation that comes when
a person makes the claim he or she can
make something disappear before your very
eyes without having the slightest idea how
it’s done. But this isn’t a trick; it’s an illusion. With lines that beckon — “Come in
close, because the more you think you see,
the easier it is to fool you” — movie-goers
are sure to be on the edge of their seat like
the audiences depicted in the film. But this
movie isn’t so much about the trick as it is
about what disappears. An FBI agent and an
Interpol detective track a team of illusionists
who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the
money. With an all-star cast that makes the
“Oceans” trilogy seem tame, “Now You See
Me” is a trilling action flick that will leave
you checking your pockets and whispering
to your friends, “What just happened?”
“Much Ado About Nothing”
June 7
Directed by Joss Whedon, starring
Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Fran
Kranz and Jillian Morgese
Rated PG-13, 107 minutes
something more than a “screen romance.”
They thrive in the hearts of film-goers and
help to define how relationships truly are for
the romantically inclined. For Generation
X, there is the relationship between Celine
(Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke), the
intelligent pair that seems to talk more than
listen, first seen in “Before Sunrise” then
again in “Before Sunset.” We find these two
nine years after “Sunset,” no longer meeting
for trysts, Celine and Jesse are together with
their two twin daughters. The movie begins
in media res and audiences are introduced
to how they are living. As each deals with
careers, kids, exes and life, Celine and Jesse
continue to grow with one another finding
out what is most important in life.
“Now You See Me”
May 31
Directed by Louis Leterrier, starring
Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Caine
Rated PG-13
“Man of Steel”
June 14
Directed by Zack Snyder, starring
Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon, Amy
Adams and Russell Crowe
What was the worst thing about “The Dark
Knight” trilogy? No, not the fact there were
so many plot holes in it you could strain
spaghetti. The worst part came at the end of
the credits signifying the end of Christopher
Nolan’s Batman story. But a glimmer of
hope has appeared in the form of the Kal-El
from Krypton. Produced by Nolan and written by David Goyer — the same man who
co-wrote Nolan’s Batman — “Man of Steel”
is a new take on the origin of Superman. A
young boy from the cosmos is found by a
Kansas farm family and raised to understand
right from wrong. Early trailers show this
movie to have a similar feel to “Batman Begins” with much of the film seemingly shot
with a darker filter to add a certain grittiness
to the All-American hero. C’mon Snyder.
It’s Superman, not O.J. Simpson.
“This Is the End”
June 14
Directed by Evan Goldberg and Seth
Rogen, starring James Franco, Paul
Rudd, Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel
Rated R, 107 minutes
Joss Whedon takes on Shakespeare with his
modern take on the comedy classic. The
story is well known: Two sets of lovers are
challenged by the people closest to them.
It would seem these lovers will never find
true happiness, but, then again, perhaps
love will prevail. Shot entirely in black and
white, this has the art house feel — complete with Shakespearian source material
— with a smooth jazz soundtrack to back
it up. It is precisely this style that may help
the words of Shakespeare actually resonate
with his audience today just how “The Artist” helped make silent pictures accessible
to folks now. Like Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo and Juliet,” the dialogue is strait from
Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg,
the same guys who gave the world the party
side-effect films of “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express,” “This Is the End” answers
the age old question: What would happen if
top comedic actors had to work together to
survive the apocalypse? Featuring a laundry
list of stars and cameos, “This Is the End” focuses on Rogen and friend Jay Baruchel and
the people they encounter at James Franco’s
house party before the apocalypse. Everyone
involved seems to be playing a glorified version of himself (as the world assumes they
truly are in “real life”), and all welcome the
jabs each character doles out. Now that each
actor has achieved individual success, this is
a movie that doesn’t have to try to be any
more than it is: a passion project among
friends who are simply making one another
laugh, like Adam Sandler and the gang but
funny. Fans of their previous work are sure
to enjoy the ride.
“White House Down”
June 28
Directed by Roland Emmerich, starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx,
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Richard Jenkins
If you sought out the last White House
shoot-em-up (“Olympus Has Fallen”), don’t
hold “White House Down” accountable for
its faults. In the second threat-on-the-President movie of the year, we are introduced
to John McClane — er, I mean, John Cale
(Channing Tatum, not to be confused with
Bruce Willis) — a wisecracking policeman
looking to one day protect the President
(Jamie Foxx). After his dreams are rejected,
for Cale luck has it that the White House is
attacked, and it’s up to him to save the President and his daughter who have separately
been taken hostage. It’s hard not to think
of McClane from “Die Hard” when you see
Tatum’s portrayal of Cale as he mouths off
to the president and anyone else who said he
wasn’t capable of protecting the Commander in Chief. Under the direction of Roland
Emmerich (“Independence Day,” “The Patriot”), “White House Down” is sure to pack
an action-packed comedic punch.

cause of Carell and Colette), “The Way,
Way Back” is sure to bring a smile to even
the grimmest introvert.
After settling down and becoming the father
the young girls need, Gru (Steve Carell) is
called in by the Anti-Villain League to help
stop a new super criminal. Since Gru was
once a villain himself, he is no doubt the
best person to track this new threat. With
the help of Margo, Edith, Agnes, the minions and a host of new gizmos and gadgets,
Gru must do whatever it takes to protect
his family and save the world. Much of the
same slapstick with the minions that made
the first film popular continues to please as
these bumbling yellow pills add lighthearted
humor that can be appreciated by the whole
family.
“The Way, Way Back”
July 5
Directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash,
starring Steve Carell, AnnaSophia
Robb, Toni Collette and Allison Janney
“Pacific Rim”
July 12
Directed by Guillermo del Toro,
starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba,
Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi
Rated PG-13
Coming-of-age stories are a standby for the
summer box office. The school year has just
ended, and kids are presented with more
time than they know how to handle. Getting a job makes sense, but that’s only to
pass the time, really. “The Way, Way Back”
doesn’t deviate from this proven method,
but a sharp script and clever acting make it
something unique. Rather than a strict coming-of-age story, this tends to be more of a
coming-to-confidence story. Duncan (Liam
James) is forced to accompany his mother
(Toni Colette) and her new and faultfinding
boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), to Trent’s
beach house. Duncan falls for the girl next
door, Suzanna, and as each try to escape
their families, they grow closer together.
Like “Little Miss Sunshine” (especially be-
some complications. But even the Jaegers are
proving nearly defenseless. On the verge of
defeat, the forces defending mankind have
no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes
— a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) — who are teamed to drive a legendary,
though seemingly obsolete, Jaeger from the
past. Together, they are mankind’s last hope
against the mounting apocalypse. Of course.
“Blue Jasmine”
July 26
Directed by Woody Allen, with Cate
Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Peter Sarsgaard and Sally Hawkins
Rated PG-13
Perhaps the summer’s most anticipated
blockbuster, “Pacific Rim” is the epic science-fiction film by director Guillermo del
Toro. When legions of monstrous creatures,
known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a
war began that would claim millions of lives
and consume humanity’s resources for years
on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special
type of weapon was devised: massive robots
(Jaegers) which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in
a neural bridge. Tell me that doesn’t present

Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett, Bobby Cannavale, Louis C.K., Andrew Dice Clay,
Sally Hawkins, Peter Sarsgaard and Michael
Stuhlbarg. All that is known about the movie’s plot is that it is set in San Francisco and
centers on a fashionable New York housewife (Blanchett) who has her life together
and a neurotic (Hawkins) in the midst of the
final stages of an acute crisis. According to
sources, this, despite the last two films Allen made, is a serious drama. No doubt we
can take this with a grain of salt considering
the director. Likely a favorite around awards
season, “Blue Jasmine” is worth keeping an
eye on in the coming months.
“2 Guns”
Aug. 2
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, starring Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington, Paula Patton and Edward
James Olmos
Buddy cop films have been done to death,

the cops is no shocker, either. But this clever
script gets a nice overhaul with two astute
actors playing roles they’ve played almost
more times than not. Washington taps into
his badass cop role from “Training Day”
while Wahlberg looks to “The Departed” for
his role as a vulgar cop with a penchant for
giving others particularly hard times. The
laughs come when these tough guys start to
finally lighten up a little after their respective
agencies partner them together. If they want
any sort of life as they once knew it, they’ll
have to recover the money they stole from
a bank that just so happened to belong to
the C.I.A.

Events and festivals
Outdoors
By Rachel Sinn
he warmth of summer not only brings bonfires, grilling and sun-kissed
skin but a strong desire to enjoy the outdoors. After a long Iowa winter, a “breath of fresh air” alone begs us to take it to the next level. Des
Moines offers scores of festivals, food fairs and even more active endeavors for
the physically fit or freshly peeled-from-the-couch Iowan. Summer brings us
back to life — babbling waterways, lush woods and colorful scenery bring us
the smells and sights that we know and love and cherish for those few precious months reminding us why we choose to call this state home.
Every summer Iowans celebrate traditions of festivals, sports and other
mainstay events while also inventing new things every year. Here are a few
things on our radar.
T

Go where the Des Moines Arts Festival takes you
W
hen Mike Wedeking and Suzanne Van Englehoven made their first purchase
from Mississippi printmaker Chris (H.C.) Porter at the Des Moines Arts Festival, they didn’t realize that artwork would shape their blooming restaurant
business as well.
“We bought the Coca-Cola front print in 2003,” said Van Englehoven, who owns and operates the Des Moines eatery, Flying Mango, with husband Wedeking. “Chris was a frequent
visitor to our food booth. We struck up a friendship as well as a love for her work.”
That first print still hangs in their business today.
“The next year, we planned to buy a few more pieces,” Wedeking said. “Flying Mango
was still full of bistro posters left from the previous owner. We knew they did not reflect
what we were shooting for. So we decided if we had a good festival as a food vendor, we
would take our profits and shoot to buy maybe three pieces of Porter’s work for one of the
rooms in the restaurant.”
Not only did the couple have success as a festival food vendor that year, but they also
started a relationship with nationally acclaimed Porter that is maintained today.
“The morning after the festival, Chris came to the restaurant,” Van Englehoven said.
“She brought in so many pieces for us to look at. The whole vibe of the restaurant immediately changed, and we knew this is what would bring it together. We filled the restaurant
with her work, not just one room.”
Van Englehoven and Wedeking’s story is just one of many that support the Festival’s call
to action: Go where it takes you. Before meeting Porter, Van Englehoven bought jewelry
and prints as her budget allowed in the early days of the Festival, when it was held in the
Rose Garden behind the Des Moines Art Center. Since buying their first Porter print for
their restaurant, the pair has collected works for their home from a handful of artists they
have come to appreciate at the event.
“Eventually our walls have filled, so we’ve turned to more ceramic and sculpture,” Van
Englehoven said. “We now have a ‘monk’ that lives with us. It was our 25-year anniversary
splurge.”

“We are dedicated to building a multi-faceted experience year after year at the Festival, and
while people are aware of the accolades, we want folks to dive into the festival on all levels,”
said Stephen King, executive director of the Des Moines Arts Festival. “We want everyone
to feel free to write their own story of where the Des Moines Arts Festival takes them.”
The Des Moines Arts Festival invites the world to experience the kinetic energy of art as
manifested in 205 artist booths, artisan food and beverages, the cutting-edge Interrobang
