AUDITIONS ANNOUNCED! SUNDAY, AUGUST 16TH AND MONDAY, AUGUST 17TH

Tickets and audition details at:
www.riverbendplayers.org

Riverbend Players Community Theater invites you to audition for DRACULA: THE RADIO PLAY, a thrilling live recreation of the golden age of radio, where eerie voices, spine-tingling sound effects, and your imagination bring Bram Stoker’s legendary tale to life.

Audition Schedule:

Sunday, August 16, 2026 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Monday, August 17, 2026 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem

Directed by Tom Cocklin

No memorization required! Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Radio theater is all about storytelling through your voice, so actors may be asked to perform multiple characters using different voices, accents, and vocal styles.

You may also have the opportunity to create live sound effects (foley), an essential part of the magic that brings this classic tale to life.

Whether you’re a seasoned performer or have never stepped on stage before, this is a fun, creative, and welcoming way to experience live theater.

Performance Dates: September 25 – October 11, 2026

Come lend your voice to the legend… if you dare.

For more details, visit the audition page of our website: www.riverbendplayers.org

Experience Oregon’s rugged coastline through the lens of traditional and ecological mussel foraging in this hands-on, guided workshop set within the state’s dynamic tidepools. Led by forager and marine educator Alanna Kieffer, this immersive experience invites participants to connect deeply with Oregon’s intertidal ecosystems while learning to harvest one of the coast’s most abundant shellfish.

We’ll begin with an introduction to tidepool ecology, covering tides, wave action, and the intertidal zones that create ideal habitat for native mussel species along Oregon’s rocky shores. The workshop places a strong emphasis on sustainable mussel foraging, teaching ethical harvest techniques that protect both individual organisms and the broader ecosystem. Participants will learn Oregon’s seasonal regulations, limits, and best practices for minimizing impact while foraging responsibly.

On shore, we’ll explore safe handling, cleaning, and storage methods for freshly harvested mussels, along with simple preparation techniques that highlight their natural flavor. Participants will enjoy tastings and discussions around culinary traditions tied to mussels along the Oregon coast.

Our tent is open at both ends so you can walk straight through and meet the volunteers behind each of our programs:
-CERT. Neighbors trained to respond in the first hours after a disaster.
-Medical Reserve Corps. Medical and non medical volunteers ready to staff emergency care.
-WaSH. Safe water and sanitation when the taps and toilets stop working.
-GoBag. What to pack so you can leave your house in under five minutes.
-Prepare Your Neighborhood. How your street gets organized before anything happens.
-Emergency Communications. Staying in touch with your block when the phones go quiet.
-Shelters. Where people go when they cannot safely stay in their homes.
-Mass Care. The coordination behind all of it. Standing up a site like this one, working alongside our partner agencies and getting the right people and equipment where they need to be. Friday is a working demonstration of exactly that.

The MRC trailer will be open for walk through tours, and we will have Starlink running so you can see how we stay connected when the usual communication lines go down. Our friends at Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue plan to join us as well.
Come with your questions. What goes in a GoBag. How your neighborhood gets organized. What happens to water after a big quake. Where people go if they cannot stay in their homes. We would rather answer those questions on a sunny Friday afternoon than during an emergency.

Thinking about volunteering? Stop by our table to check out the Volunteer Welcome Packet and fill out a Volunteer Interest Form. EVCNB’s new Volunteer Coordinator will be there to help get you started.

One of the ongoing monthly CUP events is the Conscious Aging and Community Connections program. A group of local volunteers create and coordinate this once a month program, designed to bring people in our area together to talk and learn about meaningful and joyful aging.

On Monday, Sept. 14, 2-4PM, the Conscious Aging Program will continue our conversation about Aging in Place. At this gathering we will brainstorm and discuss ways to make aging in place more possible.

Is there something you would like to share with others in our wonderful community? If so, go to www.thepinegrove.org/communityuseprogram to learn more about the CUP program.

The Pine Grove Community House will have a booth at the Manzanita Farmers Market, Friday, August 14. If you have questions or ideas for CUP events, or Pine Grove membership, please stop by.
