MORE ABOUT: NUTS
By Tom Topor

A Broadway hit, Nuts has been called the best courtroom melodrama since Witness for the Prosecution and The Caine Mutiny Court Martial. Set in a courtroom in New York’s Bellevue Hospital, the story follows a high-priced call girl incarcerated on a charge for killing a violent “john”. The State, represented by a court appointed psychiatrist and an aggressive prosecutor, say Claudia Faith Draper is unfit to stand trial. As testimony from experts, physicians and her parents unfolds, with her psyche and childhood dissected, she proves to the judge that she isn’t “nuts” and stands legally sane at trial for manslaughter.

Nuts is a 1979 play by Tom Topor. The play is a courtroom drama, suspense, and psychological drama which explores issues of sexual abuse, family and social power dynamics, and aspects of the criminal court system. The play was adapted for the 1987 film of the same title, directed by Martin Ritt and starring Barbra Streisand and Richard Dreyfuss.

This play deals with a mature subject matter and includes some profanity and offensive language.

GREAT PLAY, GREAT FUN. BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY.

Please join NCCWP for a Community Monthly Meeting on August 26, 2025 from 6-7:30pm at St. Mary by the Sea Parish Hall to discuss how we can save our wetlands from development.
All are welcome.

Last summer, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition challenged the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission’s approval of a 28-unit housing development in the Nedonna Beach neighborhood (which is classified as a freshwater forested and shrub wetland by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). 

At a public hearing, Oregon Shores and many concerned residents spoke out strongly in opposition; however, the City Council voted unanimously to approve the development. In response, Oregon Shores took the case to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). Oregon Shores is receiving legal support from the Crag Law Center.

Nedonna Development, LLC has requested for the Rockaway Beach City Council to proceed with their application for development after LUBA remanded this issue back to the city. 

The City Council will hold a special public hearing meeting at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at City Hall. 



About Crag Law Center:
Crag Law Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Each year, Crag provides $3 million worth of free and low-cost legal services to people who are working on the ground to protect our water, air, wildlife, forests, farmland and communities.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to support our vendors in the rain last week! It was a wet one, but we all made the most of it and were happy to see how many people in our community want to come to market, rain or shine. This week’s weather is looking delightful, and we’re happy to be back to the usual summer program. Summer is in full swing, and we have all the produce and all the things at market this week. Come share the bounty!

We will be debuting our first commemorative Manzanita Farmers Market poster this Friday! We hope to start a tradition of having different art to mark each year of the market. The funds raised from poster sales will be used to help fund the market, and particularly our Triple Up SNAP match program. This year’s poster was made by board member and long time vendor Jordan Gulaskey, and is an original linocut portraying some of the unique offerings of our beloved farmers market! These will be for sale in the market info booth, just inside the entrance. Make sure to get yours!

Music this week will be by Juliet Yanko, a local multi-instrumentalist and award-winning vocalist whose songs summon a deep presence and “will make you laugh and cry as she exposes the sweetness of humanity down to its sexy mortal bones.”

Join us Friday, 4-7, at 635 Manzanita Avenue.
