A SMASHING FLOP
PLANTING A SEED
• WHAT: ‘The Producers’ • WHEN: 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, May 19-21 • WHERE: Clarksville Little Theatre, 301 E. Montgomery Ave., Clarksville
• INFO: Visit littleclarksvilletheatre.org
A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mildmannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers out of millions. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit. The antics of the two as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show, hiring a director, raising money, and finally go to prison is a lesson in broad comic construction.
• WHAT: Gardening Book Sale • WHEN: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 21 • WHERE: New Albany-Floyd County Public
Library annex building The Friends of the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library will host a Gardening Book Sale on Saturday.

Regular prices are $1 for hardbacks; 50 cents for paperbacks, CDs and VHS movies; and 10 cents for magazines and pamphlets.

AKING OF A BAND Southern Indiana musicians hone talent in House of Music program BY APRILE RICKERT aprile.rickert@newsandtribune.com

EFFERSONVILLE — What brought five guys from different schools in different cities together to play music was more than just skill, heart and luck. Between the Lines is a band comprised of young musicians, ages ranging from 12 to 15, from Southern Indiana and Louisville who came together to play the music they love and learn how to be better musicians. The five are part of the Rock School program at Maxwell’s House of Music in Jeffersonville, a program owner Mark Maxwell said was brought to the House of Music 30 years ago by Yamaha. The Jeffersonville shop and its Louisville location, Mom’s Music, are among the originals to use the program. The way it works is musicians at the store put together bands, matching them up by similarities and then help them go through the process of learning how to be in a band. “We find a bunch of kids that are going to match,” Maxwell said. “In age, in who they are, their tastes and everything and we try to put them together and say, ‘let’s see how this goes.’ “Sometimes it works really well and sometimes we have to revamp and put a new group together because they stylistically didn’t work or whatever it be.” BAND LINEUP He said the Jeffersonville store is working with about 10 bands, and also has a program for adults called Weekend Warriors. He said he sees a solid road ahead for Between the Lines. “I think they’re kind of just like the next thing right now,” he said. “They really have it together, they’re learning lots of new songs and I think they’re going have a really great next few years.” For 12-year-old lead guitarist Jamey Boggess, it all started for him because of Richie Sambora from the band Bon Jovi. “I remember I used to listen to him as a
Between the Lines run through a set list as part of the band’s practice session at Maxwell’s House of Music in Jeffersonville. kid and he used to have this talk box,” he said. He said he went to Maxwell’s House of Music to ask about the talk box. “They said ‘OK, what kind of guitar do you have?’ I didn’t know I had to have a guitar to have a talk box.” The rest is history. Jamey has been playing for the past three years, and still has the talk box. He’s been in Between the Lines for about eight months. “To tell you the truth, it’s just [about] playing guitar,” Jamey said. “I like getting up an stage and I like putting on a show for people.”

YOUNG MEN, OLD SOULS The band plays a lot of classic rock, and pop as well, and is branching out to add other genres. “We’re thinking about adding some country maybe, and some other music,” Harrison said. WHarrison

BETWEEN THE LINES: Rock School encourages students to 'Turn it up' CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 Harrison Kraft, lead singer, started playing guitar in second grade and moved to drums. Right now, he mainly sings but is getting a drum kit soon. Both agreed that they want to see the band go in a bigger direction as they move forward. “Most of the time everybody is pretty impressed because they think we’re kids and stuff,” Harrison said. Bass player Isaac Bridgewater, 13, has been in Between the Lines since January, and was in two other bands before. “I like this band because they allow you to dance more,” he said. “We play good music.” He started started playing bass in 2012 when his mom bought his first one at a garage sale. He said he’s influenced by bands like Guns n’ Roses, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers and KISS. “I just went with the rhythm of the songs that my mom and people were playing around me,” he said. Drummer Nathan Bline, 12, has been playing since he was 5. He’s
inspired by The Beatles’ Ringo Starr, Slipknot and 21 Pilots. He got involved through the drummer in his uncle’s Beatles tribute band. Bline said what he likes about being in the band is “getting to rock, jam, head-bang. This band is my heart and soul.” Guitarist Quincy Yount, 14, has been playing for three years and although he was in another band, said he likes this one better. “This one is more organized,” he said. He said they pretty much agree on the music. “We all kind of just suggest songs and it will eventually come up. If our band coach thinks it will sound good with us, we’ll pick it.” ‘TURN IT UP’ Jamie Hale has been a coach at the shop for three years, but not with Between the Lines the whole time. He said he sees a lot of good things coming from them. “These guys are awesome,” he said. “They get up there and they have a lot of fun and what happens
is that fun transfers to the stage and the crowd and then it goes back so it’s this nice little circle of energy.” He said his experience in bands has been much different than what people are able to get at Rock School. “When I was a kid, you’d get chased off for making too much noise in the garage, like ‘turn it down and all that stuff,’” he said. “In here, it’s like ‘Turn it up.’ As loud as it can go. How much fun do you want to have? The sky is the limit.” Maxwell said it’s the confidence along with doing something you love that is changing these kids’ lives. “I love it when a parent walks up to me and goes ‘Wow, I just can’t believe how my kid has changed, so much more open and so much more confident in their daily life,’” he said. “It turns out good, they get in front of people, people clap their hands, these kids feel like a million dollars. And they should. Because they’ve done something that most people can’t or won’t.”

It’s one killer comedy CLARKSVILLE — Derby Dinner Playhouse kicks off its 2016-17 season with the popular comedy “Arsenic & Old Lace,” which opened this week and will run through June 26. For ticket information call 812-2888281 or visit derbydinner.com. A riotous tale of two charming old ladies who dispense cheer to all, along with elderberry wine spiked with arsenic! The ladies are not the only murderous members of the Brewster clan. We meet nephew Jonathan, who has his face altered to hide from the authorities, his assistant “Dr. Einstein”, and his brother Teddy, who believes he is actually Teddy Roosevelt. Add a love story, several dead bodies, and some very confused cops and you are sure to enjoy this zany comedy. “Arsenic & Old Lace” originally opened on Broadway in 1941 with Boris Karloff starring in the role of Jonathan Brewster and Frank Capra directed the film version in 1944 starring Cary Grant. This play was written by Joseph Kesselring and Derby Dinner’s production is under
