‘CRIMES OF THE HEART’ OPENS TOMORROW NIGHT AT NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Great seats available at www.RiverbendPlayers.org
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.

3/3 Klezmer, East European Concert in Astoria
Trio Deloria
this Sunday, March 3rd, at 3pm!
Tickets and more information at www.larsencenter.org
or call (503) 338-9132
Trio Deloria (Andrew Ehrlich, Yankl Falk, and Ethan Chessin) presents an exciting program of Klezmer and Yiddish song, Romanian and Hungarian fiddle virtuosity, devotional Hasidic melody, and much more. Although the trio’s name is new, they have been performing together for over 20 years under other names (including a previous visit to Astoria in 2014). Their deep friendship is reflected in their energetic musical collaborations. Trio Deloria is grateful to the Larsen Center for this opportunity to return to Astoria with an exciting new program.
For more than 40 years, Jack “Yankl” Falk (vocals/clarinet) has been at the center of Yiddish cultural life in Portland and beyond. His repertoire and performance reflects his long involvement with Hungary’s premier Yiddish ensemble, Di Naye Kapelye, with whom he recorded three acclaimed CDs of Carpathian Jewish roots music and performed at festivals across Europe.
Yankl leads the Portland-based klezmer/groove quintet The Carpathian-Pacific Express, which features some of Portland’s leading musicians. His other collaborations have included work with Don Byron’s Music of Mickey Katz, Polka Madre (Mexico City), Di Fidl- Kapelye (Amsterdam), Yale Strom, the Tone Sharks, accordionist Christina Crowder, and cellist Lori Goldston. For more than 30 years, Yankl produced and hosted the Sunday morning Yiddish Hour on Portland radio. A traditional singer of Jewish liturgy, Yankl was featured in a 2013 New York Times article about itinerant High Holiday cantors.
Andrew Ehrlich (violin) is a longtime klezmer and co-founder of his own band, Hora Tzigane, with Martin Morgenbesser. He also performs as a member of the Carpathian- Pacific Express and is the leader of Dr. Ehrlich and the Magic Bullets. Andrew has served as concertmaster of the Portland Chamber Orchestra and the Portland Columbia Symphony. He is a former member of the group “fEAR no MUSIC” and continues to play chamber music in recital. Andrew recently premiered the violin concerto “Prayers and Dances” by Jason Heald based on Jewish themes. He is on the faculty of the Community Music Center in Portland, where he teaches violin and conducts the Adult String Orchestra.
Ethan Chessin (trombone/piano/accordion/voice) teaches choir, songwriting, and music production at Camas High School. Over the last twelve years, his students have premiered over one hundred new pieces of music, written by students and alumni as well as nationally renowned musicians. His expertise in producing major collaborative premieres have earned invitations for his choirs to record and perform alongside Portugal. The Man, Stanley Jordan, Y La Bamba, Girls In Trouble, AU, Michael Allen Harrison, Bright Moments, Kingdom Sound, Trio Tsuica, Carpathian-Pacific Express, and many others. Ethan is a 2023 Country Music Association (CMA) Music Teacher of Excellence, was awarded the first Give A Note Foundation nationwide Music Educator Innovator Award, and has been recognized regionally as a Washington Teacher of the Year Finalist, Southwest Washington Teacher of the Year, and Camas High School Teacher of the Year. Prior to his teaching career, while playing trombone with the MarchFourth Marching Band he performed alongside Pink Martini, opened for Gwen Stefani, and was featured on the soundtrack of the Pixar film “Monsters University”.
