Creature of the note
Pipe dreams become nightmares on Friday night, when the University of Oklahoma School of Music and the American Organ Institute add live organ accompaniment to the 1922 classic “Nosferatu,” arguably the earliest vampire movie with any bite. “For 1922, it’s a fantastic horror film,” said John Schwandt, associate professor of organ and AOI director, who […]

Rector’s set
Tulsa native Ben Rector has never shied away from going things alone. From striking off for college at the University of Arkansas or opting for a career as an independent musician, self-reliance has been a virtue and advantage. “I value the total freedom to do or say whatever you want,” the singer/ songwriter said. “You […]

Stuart no-so-little
Four years and $13 million later, Norman’s Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art has much more to love, with the opening of its 18,000-square-foot Stuart Wing. “We pretty much doubled the size. Of course, I’m not objective, but the inside looks stunning,” said Ghislain d’Humières, museum director, noting high gallery ceilings, oak flooring and state-of-the-art […]

Van Sant has recruited actors who play their teenaged characters as if they were half that […]

Seoul kitchen
It may be unusual to hear smacktalk from a man of the cloth, but those were his words about spouse SunSoo Chong’s cooking. He explained that in their Korean homeland, the trend has been toward adding more sugar and MSG to recipes. This goes against their mission statement on the menu that reads, in part: […]

‘Bally’ who?
A relative youngster among metro theater companies, Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre has opened its 10th season with Alfred Uhry’s leaden “The Last Night of Ballyhoo.” The play is an odd choice for a season opener, because it’s not the rip-roaring start that one would like to see. CityRep isn’t exactly breaking new ground. Uhry sets […]

To scale
Size matters. For artists participating in the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s annual “12×12” fundraiser, the challenge is to make a grand statement confined to the small space of the show’s title. “The scale is nice, because it allows you to experiment with different ways of presenting your work,” said Norman’s Grace Grothaus. “You have to […]

Higher Ground
Nor is it “The Passion of the Christ,” but it’s an honest study about one person’s lifelong, in-andout struggle with issues of her faith, from die-hard believer to doubting Thomas. The indie drama opens soon at AMC Quail Springs Mall 24, 2501 W. Memorial. Based on a true story, the film finds Farmiga playing the […]
