Disney’s “The Lion King” has captivated imaginations of audiences around the world, and now, for the first time ever, Carteret Community Theatre will bring the junior version to the stage.
The performance will be at Joslyn Hall on the campus of Carteret Community College at 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, March 29-30 and April 5-6, as well as 2 p.m. Sunday, March 31 and April 7.
Based on the 1994 Disney animated feature film of the same name and William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” “The Lion King” is the story of Simba, an adventurous and energetic lion cub who is next in line to be king of the Pride Lands, a thriving and beautiful region in the African savanna.
When Simba’s father Mufasa is killed by his uncle Scar, Simba is led to believe his father’s death is his fault and is encour-aged to run away forever.
The African savanna comes to life with Simba, Rafiki and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle and back again in this coming-of-age tale.

Review: ‘The Umbrella Academy’ shields itself from redundancy
Have a Netflix night
BY MEGAN LEWISTWM
This one’s got it all: inter-esting characters, humor, thoughtful song choices, care-fully wrought special effects, excellent cinematography and an intriguing introduction to the plot.
And that’s all packed into the first 59-minute episode of Netflix’s new original series “The Umbrella Academy.”
The show focuses on the Hargreeve “family,” a con-struct of eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeve (Colm Feore) who purchased seven children as babies, six of whom exhibit unusual powers.
Also introduced are Pogo (Adam Godley), a talking mon-key who serves as the other-wise stereotypical British but-ler, and “Mom,” who appears to be some kind of robot.
Mr. Hargreeve, however, has just died, and possibly not of natural causes.
Alongside his death, other mysteries introduced in the pilot include the lack of pow-ers for Vanya (No. 7), a miss-ing/later found monocle, the death of one of the siblings and the return of No. 5 – who’s been missing 16 years, 4 months and 14 days.
Ellen Page is Vanya, the only
one of the seven adopted sib-lings to not exhibit any unique abilities, but she’s not with-out talent as a skilled violin-ist (thanks to violin double Imogen Sloss) and as spiller of family secrets in her auto-biography, making her some-thing of the proverbial “black sheep.”
Other siblings include Diego (David Castañeda), who appears to still be heroing. As the resident hothead and loudmouth, however, whether he’s a good guy is left to future episodes.
Klaus (Robert Sheehan) is an amusing junky on good terms with local paramed-ics, less-than-good terms with his deceased father and otherworldly terms with his deceased brother Ben, No. 6, a mysteriously shrouded fig-ure who might have turned into a beast when alive.
Rumor has it that Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), media darling and actress, is divorced and has quit using her ability to “wish” things into truth.
Luther, played by Tom Hopper, is loyal … and (newly) massive. He’s also a favorite of old man Hargreeve. His first day back with his estranged siblings, he accuses them of being their father’s possible

murderers. He may not be far from the mark.
Most interesting, however, is Ben (Aidan Gallagher), who reappears from the future with a tail of bulky men with guns and a tracking device.
Ironically, the future he describes to Vanya is devoid of humans.
Most ironic of all, howev-er, is that Reginald Hargreeve seems to have collected this group for the sole purpose of fighting crime and his charac-ter’s only dialogue is to warn the youngsters that “life will be hard. It will be painful,” and the ties between them are the only thing they can count on. To these seemingly well-inten-tioned things, however, must be added cruel actions and the general opinion of most of his children that he’s something of a jerk.
With all this and the techni-cal prowess of the episode, when Vanya says, “I’ll put on a pot of coffee,” plan on mak-ing yourself one as well to stay up all night bingeing the 10 episodes currently available of this TV-14 show.

While they are gone, Scar seizes power and with his already unstable mind deterio-rating, the Pride Lands experi-ences a darkness and desola-tion from which only Simba can save the animals of the kingdom.
Featuring classic songs from the film such as “Circle of Life,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Hakuna Matata” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” “The Lion King” is a story and a spec-tacle about identity, family and responsibility that is enjoyed worldwide by people of all ages, according to a release.
In addition to the produc-tion of the show, “The Lion King Jr.” cast has experienced the education of a rigorous
curriculum designed to intro-duce them to a wide range of theatrical skills.
Director Phil Routszong said he is looking forward to how much the community will be shocked and surprised by the cast.
“They’ve worked so hard to bring the spectacle of ‘The Lion King’ to life,” he said in the release. “Most people see ‘Jr.’ in the title and don’t expect much. These kids have exceed-ed every expectation of mine and leave everything on the stage.”
He said the children are a blank page at first on the stage; however, they’re quick to take chances and give all of their effort.
“They don’t have a sense of pride that keeps them from
thinking ideas are silly and not worth trying. More adults could learn this from them,” he said.
Carteret Community Theatre is committed to introducing a child to live theatrical arts, according to the release.
Even though their building remains closed due to damage from Hurricane Florence, the show will continue, and those at the CCT are keeping the the-atrical arts alive with help from the community.
“Renee Donald from the col-lege has been most helpful,” said Ann Walker, the show’s producer.
Tickets for the show are $15 and can be purchased online at carteretcommunitytheatre.com or by calling 252-726-1501.

The Mattie King Davis Art Gallery will host a reception for Jamison Ipock’s art show from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 6.
Located on the grounds of the Beaufort Historic Site at 130 Turner St., Carteret County’s oldest art gallery will feature the works of Mrs. Ipock from April to May.
A Beaufort native, Mrs. Ipock often creates paintings from moments or memories she cherishes. Many of those are the coastal scenes that sur-round her.
As she puts it, “Carteret County is such a beautiful place. I just want to capture that beauty on canvas and save the moment.”
She does just that, bringing her paintings to life with her use of color and light.
Not afraid to experiment in different techniques and
Gallery to hold art reception for Jamison Ipock paints, she uses a variety of methods to express her views on canvas.
After a 27-year career as a science teacher and adminis-trator, Mrs. Ipock retired and had more time to paint.
“I have always been inter-
ested in art, but I never actu-ally had the time or energy to paint until I retired,” she said.
Mrs. Ipock recently offered her works publicly again after a three-year hiatus in which she studied different tech-niques and painted for herself
Artwork like “Walking the Trail on Bird Shoal,” above, “Heading Out Into Heavy Weather,” right, and “Monday at the Cape,” below, by Jamison Ipock, will be the focus of an upcoming art reception at
the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery. The reception is from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, April 6. (Contributed photo)
and her family. She said one of the best
things about getting back in the art field is meeting and learning from so many won-derful artists in Carteret County.

The State Archives of North Carolina in Raleigh has announced the establishment of an Oral History Unit within its Special Collections Section.
The unit is headed by oral his-torian Ellen Brooks, a graduate of the Oral History Master of Arts program at Columbia University. She was previously the oral his-torian at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum.
Ms. Brooks’ first undertaking will be to record and preserve the stories and experiences of women living in North Carolina.
As a part of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources’ “She Changed the World: N.C. Women Breaking Barriers” cam-paign, the project will focus on
North Carolina women who have made an impact in their commu-nity or in their profession.
She will collect interviews with women of all ages from across the state. Interviews will be acces-sible through the State Archives’ website.
“Oral history is the ideal way to share the stories that don’t often get told otherwise,” Ms. Brooks said in a recent press release. “A good oral history project seeks out underrepresented voices and helps find them a place in the historical narrative.”
Narrators represent a variety of fields, diverse backgrounds, cul-tures and lifestyles.
Subjects addressed will include the history and current state of
The State Archives of North Carolina is developing a pro-gram that showcases some of its collections while engaging the public with hands-on activi-ties that will increase the acces-sibility of archival records.
“Transcribe NC” is recruiting volunteers to helping transcribe its first projects – county draft board records of those men who were drafted or enlisted during World War I and the travel writings of those North Carolinians fortunate to travel the nation and the world.
The travel collection is a group of images, diaries, jour-nals and scrapbooks. This proj-ect will require a word-by-word transcription of those who traveled the U.S. and abroad for pleasure.
For example, Wharton Jackson Green, traveling
Europe with his wife and cousin in 1859 writes, “Visited the famous Green Vaults of Dresden.”
The transcription of draft board records is more straight-forward, recording the names of enlisted and drafted soldiers who served in World War I, along with their age, race and hometown.
These elements will be entered into a database search-able online through the State Archives’ website. There are some select letters and sol-diers’ diaries in this collection, as well.
“This project is critical to tell-ing North Carolina’s story,” said Randon McCrea, digital archivist for online programming who is heading this initiative, along with archivist Anna Peitzman, at the State Archives.
This picture shows Hobson Pittman’s travel journal describing his impressions of paintings at the Tate Gallery in London. The State Archives of North Carolina is looking for volunteers to transcribe items similar to Mr. Pittman’s journal. (Contributed photo)
Volunteers can help NC State Archives transcribe records
“Each of these archival col-lections – WWI draft lists and travel diaries – personalize the human experience and keep this state’s legacy alive. When complete, the WWI informa-tion will be of importance to veterans, their families, and communities. The travel dia-ries will give insight to the per-ceptions and experiences of those who traveled outside of the state in a different era.
Both of these collections will benefit researchers and educa-tors alike.”
Other transcription projects will populate the website as they are scanned.
“Transcription volunteers of all skill levels will most defi-nitely find materials of interest in one or all of these collec-tions while helping to build incredibly valuable indexes and the ability for all to more read-
ily access information about North Carolina records,” Ms. Peitzman said.
If you would like to volun-teer your time and talents, visit the project’s webpage to find instructions and tips for tran-scription, a guide and instruc-tional video.
Those interested can also send a message to [email protected] for more information.
Women’s stories to be preservedwomen’s rights in the state, chal-lenges and stereotypes faced pro-fessionally and socially and mis-conceptions of gender equality.
Although these unifying sub-jects will be points of discussion for all interviews, each interview will be particular to the narrator.
The result will be a collection of interviews as diverse as the women sharing their stories.
If you know someone whose story should be shared, contact Ms. Brooks at [email protected] or 919-814-6847.
