Dreamed of singing on stage as part of a musical production but not sure how to prepare for the auditions? The Coaster Theatre Playhouse is offering a free musical theatre audition workshop to introduce the musical audition process.

Open to ages 12 and older, the workshop will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Coaster Theatre, 108 N. Hemlock St., Cannon Beach. More information is at coastertheatre.com or by calling the box office at 503-436-1242.

During the workshop, participants will learn a song that they can use in future musical auditions. They will also learn a movement/dance routine to understand the portion of an audition as well as cold-read from a script.

At this time all participants must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide proof of vaccination at the workshop. Participants may display proof of vaccination with a physical vaccination card, a legible copy of their vaccination card or a legible digital copy of their vaccination card in addition to a matching photo ID (children under the age of 16 are not required to show ID if accompanied by a parent or guardian). Masks are optional but encouraged at the Coaster Theatre.

The internationally popular board game has been turned into a fun-filled musical that brings the world’s best-known suspects to life.

Clue: The Musical is directed by Patrick Lathrop and features David Sweeney as Mr. Boddy, Shay Knorr as Mrs. Peacock, Bryan Lelek as Professor Plum, Toddy Adams as Miss Scarlet, Patrick Lathrop as Colonel Mustard, Cathey Ryan as Mrs. White, Bennett Hunter as Mr. Green and Joslynn Johansen as the Detective.

3 Leg Torso formed in 1996 as a violin, cello and accordion trio with the mission of creating original modern chamber music for their unique instrumentation. Over the following years, they have expanded both its musical mission and its size, performing original compositions based on an eclectic synthesis of chamber music, tango, klezmer, Latin, and Roma (Gypsy) music.

Their international reputation includes composing music for a United Nations documentary in Thailand, recording music for Deutsche Komtel in Germany and providing theme music for a Bosnian television series.

This will be their long awaited second appearance at NCRD.
3 Leg Torso is a great show for the family!

Let your voice soar on the currents of the summer wind! Join us for a brand new Wednesday Morning Writing Alive! Workshop, a place to play with the authenticity of your voice in the presence of others who love words and meaning, form and structure as much as you do! Find your flock — and fly!

Writing Alive! Workshops have been offered on the North Coast of Oregon since April 2015. Our days of meeting at The Center for Contemplative Arts came to end, and now we meet on Zoom.

I am trained to facilitate writing workshops in the style of The Amherst Method for Writers and Artists, an approach I love for its positive focus and for the extra distance it provides writers who want to delve into challenging, authentic material without getting mired in a “therapy trap.” We write to 2-4 prompts during each 2-1/2 hour weekly workshop. We include a maximum of 5 writers plus the facilitator. In this model, the facilitator keeps the process on track while also writing to the prompts and sharing her own writing, just as other participants do, keeping the hierarchy “flat” and equal. Writers choose their genre, decide whether to write “on-prompt” or “off-prompt,” always have a standing invitation to read aloud and always an option to pass. This is a setting for writers bringing works-in-progress and also for those jumping in to begin, or complete, a memoir, group of short stories or to explore writing with a workshop for the very first time.

If you are longing for a writing community filled with writers capable of offering thoughtful feedback, if you are ready to receive positive feedback for your work, if you are in search of a group of like-minded writers to hold you accountable to yourself and bring out your best, Writing Alive! Workshops is for you!

We’re just around the corner — on Zoom. (And if your niece in Olympia or your daughter in Chicago or your Mom or Grammy on Martha’s Vineyard is looking for us, please let them know how to find us! Send them this contact and we’ll take care of the rest: writingaliveworkshops@gmail.com.)

We are seeking one or two new writers for a brand new Wednesday Morning Workshop. Three writers are signed up — from Oregon, from Nova Scotia, from Washington, D.C. This workshop will definitely “make.” Let us know if you’d like to join us.

Our dates are July 27 + Aug 3, 10, 17. This particular workshop is focused for women only.

*Materials Included

In the era of wooden boats and iron men “chafing mats” were woven out of repurposed fishing line and placed on the wooden deck in high traffic areas to reduce wear and tear on the wooden deck. I learned how to craft them when I worked on the Barracuda fishing out of Astoria. Oregon in 1973.I conduct workshops around the area and welcome Eager Beaver Weavers to my studio in Svensen, Oregon.All the repurposed line is from the commercial fishing fleet of crabbers and long liners fishing in the Pacific ocean and serves as the connection between the incredible bounty of our oceansand the hardworking hands that harvest it each year. The line is imbued with great fish karma.

Workshop requirements:

-be able to stand and move around for several hours

-neatly trimmed fingernails

-the ability to hammer a nail straight without hitting your thumb

-spatial intelligence

-concentration

-a certain amount of obsessive/compulsive DNA

-pride in one’s craft

Please join us at these Town Hall Listening Sessions or fill our the online survey. The listening sessions are the first step in moving toward finding solutions to the issues that we are facing as a community, so that we as a community can work together to take proactive measures to be who we want to become.

Fill out the online survey and find more information here ci.manzanita.or.us

The Town Hall Listening Sessions are designed to gather information to better understand the key issues we are facing in our community from the community’s perspective. These listening sessions will also serve as the starting point for establishing a vision for the future of our city, highlighting key issues that will need to be addressed through an update of the Comprehensive Plan and providing guidance to the City Council on the most important issues facing our community.

I will be there to help facilitate and city staff will be on hand to answer questions.

Due to a rise in COVID cases we will be limiting the number of people in the room at one time to 30. Masks are encouraged but not required.

Rainy Day Village (RDV) is part of the Village Movement which started in Boston over 20 years ago to create a new model for aging and ways to support older adults who desire to remain in their homes, allowing them to stay active and engaged in their communities. A local group began meeting in 2017 to discuss how this movement might support and enrich lives on the northern Oregon coast. We soon realized that rather than focus efforts on creating a local non-profit, it would be advantageous to join an existing village organization. In early 2019, RDV became the 11th village under Villages Northwest, “hub and spoke” model operating in the Portland area. As a spoke we have access to the considerable experience of Villages NW to help build RDV. For more about Villages NW go to www.villagesnw.org. For more information about the Village Movement go to Village to Village Network www.vtvnetwork.org

Robust efforts were made to build Rainy Day Village by constructing the foundation that would be needed to have volunteers provide services for paying members and even more importantly to create a vibrant network of community connections: people living their lives with pride, grace and independence in safe, healthy and socially connected ways. The 20 year history of the Village movement has shown that the relationships built among villagers has added depth and meaning to people’s lives way beyond the help they receive with daily chores.

RDV was poised to open with members and volunteers in May 2020. Unfortunately, the launch date has been postponed indefinitely, due to COVID. Since the start of the pandemic RDV has been in a holding pattern.

The Steering Committee has decided it’s time to assess where we are going and hope that interested parties will attend one or both of the upcoming meetings to help plan the future of Rainy Day Village on the North Oregon Coast.
