Show SatSunMonTues, September 21-24, 2002 The Park Record C-3 A little 'Everwood' in Park City Even with Olympic recognition, Hollywood is still shooting in Utah's backyard, calling it Colorado By JILL ADLER Record guest writer The Olympics did a pretty good job of showing the world that Utah is not all religion and conservative politics. Yet, once again, Hollywood is shooting in our backyard and calling it Colorado. Welcome to Everwood, the WB's network's latest edge-tipped family fami-ly drama that premiered Sept. 16 following its highly rated 7th Heaven. World-renowned neurosurgeon Andrew Brown (Treat Williams) loses his wife in a tragic car acci-. acci-. dent that sends him and his two " children to the healing vistas of the Rockies. Brown desperately seeks to reconnect with his kids (Gregory Smith, The Patriot; and Vivienne Cardone, "A Beautiful Mind"), at the same time, reinventing rein-venting himself as the man his wife always wanted him to be. Naturally, the good doc disrupts small-town life in Everwood, Colo., parking his Mercedes SUV in the local quack's spot, opening a free clinic and catering to the char-,- acters that inhabit the place. Sound familiar? Part Northern Exposure; part Picket FencesTwin Peaks, with a m little Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman thrown in, Everwood tells a simple tale with poignancy thanks to Greg Berlanti (Dawson's Creek). His script eloquently rides the fine -line between sanguine and sappy. There's teenage angst between ; father and son, son and girls, son and school kids. There are adult emotions between father and son, father and dead wife, father and neighbors. It's funny and tear jerking jerk-ing in the right places. Move over Promised Land and Touched By An Angel. Utah finally final-ly has a show rooted in reality, with an exceptional cast and an attention drawn to the land surrounding sur-rounding them. Those familiar Advocacy workshop The Peace House, a shelter for women and children seeking refuge from violent homes in the area, is sponsoring a free domestic violence-training violence-training workshop in Park City. The sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Miners Hospital from Oct 8 through 29. ." The training will give people the opportunity to learn about domestic violence in the community and will feature several speakers. The Division of Child and Family Services, the Rape Crisis Center and I'the Summit County Victim ,Advocacy Program are a few of the organizations that will be represented represent-ed The classes are intended to provide pro-vide information on how to assist a caller in crisis, work with shelter clients, increase awareness of diversi- ty issues and provide a basic understanding under-standing of domestic violence and what can be done as community members to make a difference. Anyone interested in volunteer-ing volunteer-ing at the shelter as an advocate or in finding out more about the Peace House and domestic violence is welcome wel-come to sign up for training. For more information and to sign up, call Ali at the Peace House at ;(435) 647-9161. with Ogden will recognize many of the sets. But producers promise to take advantage of everything Utah has to offer. "Greg puts a New York doctor in a small town to see what happens," hap-pens," said Mickey Liddell, Everwood's executive producer. "Our show has to be here. If we moved back to L.A., we'd have to change all of the elements. You can't duplicate what you get here." So, why not call Utah, Utah instead of Colorado? It's just as majestic, backwards, rustic as Colorado with an international airport that puts DIA to shame and film crew and production gear ready to roll. Salt Lake and its mountain towns (Alta, Park City, Ogden, Heber, Alpine, Kamas, Peoa, Huntsville, Morgan) have been location scouted and mapped for many productions. Not to mention men-tion that New Yorkers would REALLY think a neurosurgeon insane were he to move to a small town in Utah. The producers of Everwood, however, are off the hook. "We had initially planned to shoot in Canada," said Liddell. Canada is a right-to-work region that allows production' companies to avoid paying union wages. Utah offers the same benefit. "We needed to shoot in February but because of the Olympics, no one would talk with us." In fact, they shot the pilot episode in Calgary last February. "It was difficult to go back and forth from L.A.," said Liddell. But with the Olympics complete, Northern Utah welcomed wel-comed Berlanti-Liddell Entertainment. "Ogden matched the beauty of Canada. Plus it was cold in Canmore, BC." Sound stages have been constructed in the warehouse district of Salt Lake City; minutes from 1-15, local casting director Cate Pragasstis hires local talent and most of the non-resident cast and crew live in Park City. This will have to do for now. Perhaps one day a production company will hold their heads high and say their show is set in Springwell, Utah, or some such town without covering their mouths and hoping the rest of the world "didn't hear that." Until then, watch the land and story unfold in Everwood every Monday night at 8 p.m. on the WB30.
