CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Judy Curtis, left, and Gregory Allen perform a song during a cabaret-style performance at Really Cooking Cafe & Supper Club in Dallas. DIVAS Continued from Page 1 “We thought people might get a kick out of it,” he said. After he performed a few shows as E.T., Allen said people kept coming back and bringing their friends to watch his mix of stand-up and singing. The first show of the “Dueling Divas” in November packed the restau- rant, and Creel said extra tables were needed to seat guests. “We max out at about 80, and somehow we fit 85 in here,” he said. Before the divas ever dueled, they were just mere acquaint- ances. Curtis said she and her husband, John, often dine and take in a show at Really Cooking, and she wanted the chance to move out of her operatic ele- ment. “For my birthday two years ago, my husband printed out a certificate that said I could study with Greg,” she said. “We kept throwing around ideas and kept talking and finally we said, ‘Why don’t we just set a date?” The show was written by Allen with Curtis in mind, and there are moments within the production that focus on Curtis’ vocal abili- ties, such as the song, “We're On- ly an Octave Apart.” Curtis said stepping into a new style of performing has broad- ened her scope of musical genres — something she can take back to her students. “I always tell my students the basics are the basics,” she said. “You have to have different ways of expressing yourself.” While working together on a show that emphasizes female competitiveness, Allen and Cur- tis have become great friends. “We actually went to New York City together over the holidays,” Allen said. Curtis admits she didn’t expect to form such a close bond with her performance partner. “I always say my husband is the best accompanist I've ever had,” she said. “Well, Greg is the next best.” The bond the two have forged was well-received during the show - audience members praised everything from the cos- tumes to the atmosphere. “When we’re here, we feel like we're in New York,” said Frank Paczewski, of Dallas, who attend- ed the performance with his wife, Marsha, and friends Ron and Elaine Moran. COFFEE Continued from Page 1 Life, but it’s really a place for all * Christians to gather for fellow- ship. “It’s certainly part of River of Life, but we don’t talk about it,” he said. “The coffee house is not Catholic or Methodist or Bap- tist — it’s for everyone. The pur- pose is not to bring people into our church.” Dawn Redmond, of Dallas, said the coffee house allows her to meet new people in a comfort- able environment. “I'm divorced and I'm not into the bar scene,” she said. “It’s re- ally great.” Strunk said that Ekklesia, Greek for “Christian gathering place,” provides a safe and friendly atmosphere for those looking for a night out. “You don’t have to worry about smoking, drinking or foul- mouthed language,” he said. He said the unique gathering was an idea passed along to him from ‘a minister in Kingston. The concept for weekly live Christian music wasn’t working in the original facility, and Strunk offered to utilize River of Life’s space for the event. Now the minister from King- ston helps schedule bands but Strunk is responsible for most of the work, including kitchen du- ty. Not only is Ekklesia a place for Christians to mingle, it’s also a solid outlet for Christian bands to promote their music and message. Strunk said the coffee house currently has a li- neup of 15 to 20 bands that per- form on a regular basis, and he said word of mouth advertising has led to bands contacting the church to book gigs. “These bands are from as far north as Clarks Summit to Phila- delphia,” he said. “We can go eight weeks without repeating CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK PHOTOS/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Denise, left, and Mia Sult dance at the River of Life Ministries Cafe in Lehman. Band members Carl Mignano, left, Dave Reyes, center, and Lee Ann Lempule inspire the audience. A CHRISTIAN NIGHT OUT The Ekklesia Coffee House is open every Friday from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Bands start at 7 p.m. Admission is free and a changing weekly menu features gseasonable prices for homemade soups, sandwiches and desserts. The following is a list of upcoming bands at the coffee house: Jan. 28 - A.G.C. (All God's Children), Feb. 4 - Living Stones, Feb. 11 - Original Worship, Feb. 18 - Just for Him, Feb. 25 - River of Life Fel- lowship Praise Band. " an act.” Joseph Barbuti, lead guitarist of the Breakfree Band, said the 6-year-old band has played in many different places over the years, but there still aren’t enough arenas for Christian rock musicians to spread their message. “(Ekklesia Coffee House) is a great outlet,” he said. Even the River of Life Church Praise Band, which plays during services on Sundays, performs at the coffee house. The 2-year- old band is something the church had wanted since its in- ception six years ago and now it boasts two acoustic guitar play- ers, a bass player, three percus- sionists and an electric guitar player. “We had to wait until God brought it,” he said. Strunk said the café currently occupying half of the gym space on church grounds is only the beginning. Plans have begun to take shape for a real coffee house within the church, located with- in the former Lehman High School. The proposed space is two former classrooms and will feature a stage, fireplace and large, pillowy armchairs to give the café a relaxed ambiance. The real aim is to promote the venue to the college demo- graphic, said Strunk. He hopes the Ekklesia Coffee House will be a hub of Christian entertain- ment for the surrounding cam- puses in the area. “Our goal is to attract stu- dents from the two colleges with the Christian music,” said Ken Kreller, pastor at River of Life. Funding is tough right now, but Strunk is hopeful the project will be completed within the year. “I think we can open for the fall 2011 semester,” he said. # PUZILE ANSWERS Puzzles, Page 2 SCHOOLS Continued from Page 1 “We will continue to utilize it as a tool,” he said of the policy. “We want to maintain the high- est attendance rate we can.” Jeff Shook, attendance officer at Lake-Lehman Junior/Senior High School, said before the pol- icy was implemented, students could be fined for missing school, but parents would often be stuck footing the bill. “Now students are held a little accountable,” he said. Lake-Lehman began enforcing the policy about two months ago, and Shook said no students have lost their drivers’ licenses as a result. While Shook said there aren't many attendance problems within the school, the “fear” that students have the po- tential to lose their driving privi- leges seems to be working. “The kids that are the ones that have (attendance) problems have seemed to come around,” he said. o . — King Crossword — —— Go Figure!
