If you missed it in Nehalem (July) or Cannon Beach (August), or as many that are planning to see it again before it’s gone, this is your last chance to catch Bryan Churchill’s new acclaimed stageplay, “The Silent Measure.” 

Audience response has been overwhelmingly resonant. “The biggest takeaway has been how deeply it’s sticking with people,” says Churchill. “Folks are still coming up to talk about the play, the dialogue, the acting, and the questions the story leaves to ponder.” 

The HipFish just ran a review in this month’s issue: “Churchill’s use of storytelling to inspire demonstrates a power of connection that is unattainable through technology… Audience reflection on the concepts of chaos, uncertainty, and creativity as aspects of human connection among artificial intelligence is a solid measurement of [the play’s] success…” 

We are living through a strange moment in our collective history. The tools we’ve built to assist us have quietly learned to anticipate us while silently taking over our lives, turning up the pressure on what it means to be conscious, alive, real, even loved. This play is about what happens when our interactions with technology get pressed to the point where something has to give.

The play closes next month in Astoria at Ten Fifteen Productions | September 10, 11 & 12, 2026.

Tickets are available at the door and online at www.thesilentmeasure.com.

You may also use the QR Code listed on the poster for this announcement to reserve tickets.

Mend Loft – Egoscue Travel Clinic | 172 N Hemlock suite 12, Cannon Beach
Do you—or someone you know—live with back or hip pain, stiff joints, or aches that just don’t seem to go away?

Join us at Mend Loft for a free, interactive session about Egoscue Posture Therapy to discover how your posture influences the way you move, feel, and function every day.

During our time together, you’ll:

• Learn how to do a simple posture assessment
• Discover some of the common imbalances behind back, hip, knee, neck, and shoulder discomfort
• Explore how movement and alignment can help reduce chronic musculoskeletal pain
• Experience three simple exercises to help tune up and rebalance your body in under 10 minutes
• Learn practical posture strategies you can begin using right away

Whether you’re dealing with ongoing discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply want to stay strong, mobile, and active as you age, you’ll leave with practical tools and a new way of looking at your body.

A balanced body feels and functions better.
