MEET THE CAST OF FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY AND COME CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN WITH RIVERBEND PLAYERS OCTOBER 20th – 29th

6 shows only; great seats are still available; get your tickets here: www.RiverbendPlayers.org

Patrick first brought his passion and set design talents to the NCRD Performing Arts Center stage in 2021’s productions of STEEL MAGNOLIAS and has served as Set Designer for all Riverbend Players shows since. Patrick and his husband Frank have 2 young daughters, are the owners of Wanda’s Cafe + Bakery in Nehalem, and Patrick is the art teacher at Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School.

FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY is a chilling adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, brought to life through the power of sound and performance from the golden age of radio.

Join Captain Robert Walton and his crew as they become caught up in the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who creates a living being out of dead flesh.

But when the creature is rejected by its creator and the world, it sets out on a path of revenge that will bring death and destruction to all who cross it.

This radio play is full of suspense, horror, and thought-provoking themes. It is a must-see for fans of classic literature and vintage radio drama.

Ending War: Forever in the Commons

Submitted By: jettkeyser@gmail.com – Click to email about this post

Forever in the Commons

“Until we disarm our hearts,
the war will never stop.”
Author Unknown

I have walked down many steps
into rooms where their harnesses
hung, motionless and deeply stained.
I will not forget these memorials
to slow torture, nor listen to the
repeating lies honoring the young
soldiers marketing their righteous
death. We have seen the endless
diaspora and still hear those voices,
voices that were lost, disappeared
for their simplicity and common
sense. Remembering, let us now
welcome all the ancient fears,
awakening to take on the radical
work, the difficult healing to abandon
hate. As this is done, a day will come
when we shall no longer run from
the roots of war, turning away
from what will always be true:
We can open our eyes and see.
