CRIMES OF THE HEART OPENS MARCH 1st! MEET THE CAST: JULEE WARD as LENNY MAGRATH
CRIMES OF THE HEART OPENS MARCH 1st
Tickets at www.RiverbendPlayers.org
MEET THE CAST: JULEE WARD as LENNY MAGRATH
Following her directorial debut with FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY in October, Julee donned multiple hats for A CHRISTMAS STORY as Assistant Director and Executive Producer.
After captivating audiences in IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, she’s eager to return to the stage in this production.
Julee calls Nehalem home, where she lives with her husband, Josh, and their four children.
CRIMES OF THE HEART:
This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”
Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.
Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.
Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.
As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.
Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.
Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.

Ben’s legacy lives on through his generosity and we are delighted to award in his name, multiple scholarships.
The Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS Ben Nunez, Sr. Scholarship opportunity is now accepting applications. WEBS is offering up to three scholarships to graduating high school seniors or Tillamook County residents interested in pursuing a career in oceanography, marine conservation, estuary health, watershed ecology, or a closely related field.

Rice & Shine’s Response to the Tweakerville Post
While we greatly appreciate the kind words that were expressed regarding us and our food cart, we do feel the need to express that we have no plans of leaving this town. We have dealt with our fair share of chaos including flooding, theft, crazies, and other things. No town is perfect. With that being said, Wheeler still remains our favorite little town on the coast! We love this town so much and the people in it.
We’re just so stoked to be here! Rest assured we aren’t going anywhere!
That’s all 🙂

Meet your practitioners:
Megan Lucas, LAc, MAOM. NADA certified.
A licensed acupuncturist, Megan feels grateful to live on the north coast with her family. As a practitioner, she aims to help patients to improve their lives through deepening their relationship to their health through encouraging lifestyle changes. She offers acupuncture, bodywork, shiatsu, breathwork and recommendations on diet, movement, and herbal medicine. Her treatments focus on
the goals of the patient and the connection to their healing journey. As someone who has gone through intense illness and trauma, she understands the challenges people may face in their healing
journey.
She enjoys hiking, foraging, hunting, fly-fishing, writing, floating the river or collecting wild herbs for salves and tinctures, often alone and often with her family. She continues to work toward being a
beacon of light for others so they may more easily navigate the storm of life, and is looking for new opportunities to reach the community to offer services.
Christy Kay is a Vibrational Medicine Practitioner who lives on the North Oregon Coast. She has been studying health and wellness most of her life, in an effort to overcome chronic illness, including several autoimmune diagnoses. After a serious car accident over 10 years ago, she found herself with a traumatic brain injury, a broken back, and PTSD. With training and certifications in over a dozen healing modalities, she found the greatest relief through Energy Medicine. Sometimes it is hard to become unstuck. Using an array of energetic practices, her passion and gifts lie in facilitating healing on a deep energetic level for clients who want deeper peace, health, and wellness in their lives. When energetic flow is brought back into balance, we are more able to move forward and step into our Divine Self. Christy knows that healing the whole person, in all realms, will create more happy, vibrant souls who will create a better, more peaceful world. She has a private healing practice, Cosmic Healing NW, working one on one with clients since 2017. She opened Rising Hearts Studio in 2020 to be able to offer healing arts events to her community.
