Auditions for The Rise and Fall of Little Voice
by Jim Cartwright
February 5th & 6th at 6:30pm

The Ten Fifteen Theater
1015 Commercial St – Astoria, OR
www.thetenfifteentheater.com/auditions

Director Edward James is looking for three male actors and three female actors ages 20-70 for the second show of Ten Fifteen’s 2024 season.

Bring your calendars and a list of all conflicts between February 11th and April 13th. Headshots and resumes are welcome, but not required.

Performances will run for three weekends between March 29th and April 13th, 2024.

If you wish to audition, but are unable to make the scheduled dates, please email the director at ejames1@charter.net to make an appointment.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Actors auditioning for the role of LV should be prepared to sing short impressions of two or more of these singers: Patsy Cline, Peggy Lee, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minnelli, Barbara Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Gracie Fields, Dusty Springfield, Lulu. These may be performed A Capella or accompanied by music from smartphone.

The Cast:
LV (Little Voice): reclusive young woman who has a gift for vocal impressions
Mari: her man-hungry, overbearing mother
Sadie: Mari’s somewhat slow, admiring neighbor
Ray Say: ambitious talent promoter, ladies man
Boo: comic club owner (doubles as main phone installer)
Billy: shy phone installer, crushing on LV

About the Show: Little Voice is a sometimes grim, often hilarious fairy tale set in an English town in the eighties. It’s the story of a soft-spoken young woman who, after her father’s death, spends most of her time in her room listening to his collection of old records of famous female singers. Sometimes, she sings along. One night, dear lascivious mum drags home Ray Say, a talent promoter. He overhears LV singing faultless imitations of divas upstairs and sees a meal ticket. After considerable struggle, he manages to lure LV to a nightclub where shy LV sings, but only when the lights are out. More struggle and more singing ensue. Subplots play out. And in the end, LV finds her own glorious voice.

Club Manzanita Bait and Switch

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Our Planning Commission has approved the design of our new City Hall and Police Station. The Planning Commission’s responsibility was restricted to the review of the application submitted by the City’s consulting team and to confirm that the design complied with the applicable code provisions. The Planning Commission fulfilled their responsibilities. Unfortunately, what we are ending up with appears to be at odds with what we were told we either needed or could expect in this facility. For example:

We were told in previous public meetings that soil conditions at the site were such that in the event of moderate or severe ground shaking, the existing Underhill structure’s foundations were potentially at risk of catastrophic failure. The City’s contractor for the new City Hall explained that the solution to this risk was to place the new building on a system of bored pilings that would be able to resist the threat of liquefaction and structure collapse. This solution he explained would be “an economical method of supporting the proposed structure”.

What the Planning Commission was asked to approve was a separate Police structure that would be placed on this system of bored pilings and a City Hall that would not now have to have a foundation supported by this piling system. The reason: it would be too expensive to include this foundation system for City Hall.

What had just months ago been a critical factor and argument by the City’s consulting team for demolishing both the School and Quonset Hut was not now a concern for City Hall because it was no longer the “economical” solution that we were led to believe.

What happened to the City Hall design that was presented to us at previous public meetings? The architect had presented a building design based on input from citizens that said they wanted a building that represented Manzanita similar to the Library and First Security Bank.

The City Hall that we were told that we would be getting did share architectural features with the Bank and Library. A welcoming entrance, abundant natural lighting with an interesting roof design and horizontal lap cedar siding. What was submitted by the City to the Planning Commission does not resemble what the City’s team presented to us and was characterized by a resident as something you would find in a Beaverton Industrial Park.

The reason for the difference between what we saw then and what we are now getting is simple; it is a cheaper design. Compare what the Planning Commission approved versus what was presented to the community.

What happened to our solar powered City Hall? The City Manager stated that “solar is still on the table” and the contractor confirmed that the inclusion of solar “seems like a no-brainer to be ready for”. The architect described how they planned to design the roof for solar panels to maximize the potential for solar power to operate the building.

The City’s design plans submitted to the Planning Commission does not include any solar nor was mention made of including solar power in the future. Perhaps because of the complete change in the building design described above, the now north-facing roof orientation of City Hall can no longer deliver effective solar power.

I find it fascinating that when I report on the actions of our City Officials supported by their direct quotes, the howls of indignation come from the same group of citizens whose only rebuttal is a personal attack and a demand that I stop. I observe what I see happening, present the facts and ask questions.

If we’re not witnessing a City Hall bait and switch, what do you call it?

I will continue this post with two more editions highlighting other examples in the coming days.

Contemplative Dance Practice is a meditator’s dance hall or a dancers’ meditation hall, this practice provides opportunities to develop awareness of inner and outer rhythms, deepen mindfulness disciplines, and provide a container for cultivating acceptance of what is arising in the body.

The fusion of Ecstatic Dance and Contemplative Dance Practice creates a space to hold each one of us as we are. It is rigorous because awareness is moving between our inner and outer noticing and we are tracking the nowness of it all…Who knows what will happen?

Introduction to SoulCollage Feb 18

Submitted By: ckgreenwood3339@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Introduction to SoulCollage®
Forest House at Wanderland Rainforest (Nehalem)
Time: 2pm-4:30pm
Cost: $45 per person (includes instruction, art materials, tea & snacks)
Contact: ckgreenwood3339@gmail.com to reserve your spot. Space is limited

SoulCollage is a process for creating incredible collaged cards with deep personal meaning that will help you with life’s questions and transitions. The process is often used as a method of self-discovery and transformation.

First, you will be guided through the intuitive process of making your own SoulCollage® cards. Then you will gather in small groups and learn how to read the cards by giving voice to the images. This is where the process which begins as simple creative fun, might suddenly surprise you!

This is a multi-layered creative process that anyone can do. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to attend!

Carolyn Greenwood has been a SoulCollage facilitator since 2015
