Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers was founded in 2002 by Alan Evans, after over two decades of living on the streets. He was removed from an abusive home and sent to foster care at age 11, but when his circumstances didn’t improve, he ran away and was homeless and addicted by age 13. The mission of Helping Hands is to provide HOPE and CARE through personal, trauma-informed programs to individuals experiencing homelessness. The mission of Helping Hands is to provide a helping hand to a sustainable life through Resources, Recovery, and Reentry. Our programs are Trauma-Informed, Data-Driven, and Person-Centered; we take the time to learn each individual’s story and help connect them to the appropriate local resources and services to meet their unique needs.

DON’T MISS THIS TIMELESS HOLIDAY CLASSIC!
9 SHOWS ONLY! GET TICKETS NOW www.RiverbendPlayers.org
MEET THE CAST AND DIRECTOR: FRANK SQUILLO
As a husband, father of two, owner of Wanda’s Cafe + Bakery, President of the Riverbend Players’ board of directors, and Vice-Chair of the Manzanita Planning Commission, Frank stays busy but always finds time for his passion—directing.
He’s thrilled to be directing his sixth production following the smash hit THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, which he directed last June.
Frank is the voice of Old Man Potter and various other characters and enjoys that he didn’t have to memorize any lines to be in this type of production (radio play).
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY transforms the beloved holiday classic into a 1940s radio broadcast.
Set in a live studio, actors portray the story of George Bailey, a man who, feeling his life has been meaningless, is shown by an angel what the world would be like without him.
With live sound effects and multiple characters, the play captures the heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and finding hope when needed most.
Nine performances only, December 6th – 22nd, at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM
Tickets at www.RiverbendPlayers.org
All new season passes are on sale, saving you 20% off the regular price and securing your favorite seats for every show next year.
It makes the perfect holiday gift for any theater lover!
