Burning Obsession for Jazz
C annon ’ s
r ib e xpress
One man’s burning obsession
for American jazz takes center
stage when Artists Rep presents
“The Holler Sessions,” written,
directed and performed by Frank
Boyd in collaboration with the
Brooklyn-based theatre ensemble,
“the Team.”
Staged as a live radio show, an
explosive Kansas City DJ named
Ray broadcasts his articulate,
profane and impassioned love of
jazz from his shoddy studio for an
80-minute music-filled interactive
experience that ends with a sur-
prise live musical performance.
“The Holler Sessions” will
run for only four performances,
Thursday through Sunday , March
8-11. Tickets are $25. For more in-
formation, visit artistsrep.org.

Eddie, the Oregon Zoo’s geriatric sea otter can still dunk with the best of them.

Takes place 5-12-18
Eddie, the Oregon Zoo’s ul-
tra-geriatric sea otter, turned 20
Friday, but keepers and basketball
experts agree: He can still dunk
with the best of them and might
even have the highest shooting
percentage in town.
“Male sea otters seldom live
past 15 years, so Eddie’s among
the oldest of his kind,” said Nicole
Nicassio-Hiskey, the zoo’s senior
marine life keeper. “He still loves
to play hoops though, and he’s
definitely still got game.”
Animal-care staff trained Eddie
to dunk a toy basketball as thera-
py for his arthritic elbow joints in
2012. A video about his behind-
the-scenes exercise routine went
viral the following year, clocking
more than 1.7 million views on the
zoo’s YouTube channel, and mak-
ing him one of the most famous
animals on the Internet.
