Review: Addams Family at at the Morrison Center

by Michael Strickland My days of growing up with the old Adams family show are among my fond memories. The weird and wonderful family came to devilishly delightful life in The Addams Family. This magnificently macabre musical comedy was created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk Award winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys), and Olivier Award-winning original directors and designers Phelim McDermott & Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter) with direction by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks. The show delighted and spooked the audience on Dec. 14 at the Morrison Center, Boise State University. McDermott and Crouch’s sets and costumes fostered both charm and tremendous humor. Morticia’s decolletage stops precisely short of key areas. Under the gloomy shine of the moon, The cast meanders from the fog-draped exterior of the family’s gothic pile to the prominent furnishings of gloomy interior...

6 Reasons Why DeMonte Horton is One of the Best High School Wide Receivers in the Country

by Michael Strickland A great wide receiver must possess a combination of mental and physical tools. Body control and agility are essential to success at this position. The number one quality that a receiver must have is the ability to adjust. DeMonte Horton, a 6-3, 205-pound wide receiver from Skyview High School in Nampa, ID, is one such athlete. His list of potential colleges includes Air Force, Army, Navy, Adams State and Idaho State. Horton puts tremendous pressure on opposing defenses, who virtually have to plan their entire games around him. Here are six reasons why this big time college football prospect is bound to be a star at the next level. 1 - Horton is the prototype for success at the position. “A receiver must be able to avoid obstacles and move his body in space,” writes Jay Norvell in his book, Complete Wide Receiver. “To be able to adjust, a player must have a high level of agility.” Horton is the type of wide receiver who can change body po...

Proven Success With AXS CEO Troy McClain: Revisiting the First Season of Donald Trump's Apprentice

by Michael Strickland There is nothing like going to work every day at a club filled with high energy, motivation, success and extra smiles and joy to go around. I first met AXS CEO Troy McClain a few weeks ago. I can safely say that I am amazed at this experience of working at his awesome company. With Donald Trump's popularity booming, it is fascinating to take a look at this Idaho legend who first rose to the big stage on one of Trump's reality TV shows. "Who would have thought a country boy from Idaho could go on national television, be seen by 28 million Americans every week and still appreciate the simple things like fly fishing on a backcountry stream?" Troy's official website reads. "That is Troy McClain. Troy’s rise to prominence happened as he climbed Donald Trump’s ladder on NBC’s 'The Apprentice,' advancing all the way to the finals." Troy is a ball of energy and enthusiasm who seeks to utilize his success to Give First to his...

Kellen Moore is a Superbowl Quarterback

What other team has their third string quarterback getting so many major headlines? They said that he is too slow. They said he has no arm. They said he is too small. But his strengths are intelligence and pinpoint accuracy. They said similar things about Phil Simms and Joe Montanna. Simms was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Super Bowl XXI. He set the record for highest completion percentage in a Super Bowl, going 22 for 25 (88%). Montanna powered the 49ers to victories in four Super Bowls during the 1980s, including consecutive wins in 1989 and 1990. As KTVB reported, Moore is too good for the Detroit Lions to ignore, having made their 53-man roster last week. As with Simms and Montanna, Moore had tremendous college production. This tremendous athlete finished his career with Boise State University in 2011, having walked away 50–3 (.943) -- the unofficial all-time record for wins by a starting quarterback in NCAA Division I FBS. As a junior...
