Riverbend Players kicks off our 2025 Season with our first-ever production of an Agatha Christie murder mystery!
THE MOUSETRAP opens for nine shows Friday, February 28th, and runs through March 16th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center.
Meet the Cast: Joel Shapiro
This is Joel’s Riverbend Players and acting debut.
A retired teacher, he splits his time between Manzanita and Portland with his partner, Marla.
He enjoys dragon boating, cooking, volunteering at Rosehaven Shelter, and taking long beach walks with their new puppy, Tilly.
He is excited about his new adventures on stage and the chance to be part of such a terrific theater community.
THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie:
A classic murder mystery occurs in Monkswell Manor, a guesthouse where a snowstorm traps a group of strangers.
As news arrives of a murder nearby, the guests realize that the killer might be among them.
Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives to investigate, but as tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, another murder occurs.
The play is famous for its surprise twist ending, and audiences are traditionally asked to keep the plot’s resolution a secret.
The Mousetrap holds the world record as the longest-running play, debuting in 1952 and remaining continuously on stage.

SORDID LIVES OPEN AUDITIONS MARCH 3rd and MARCH 4th
CAST OF CHARACTERS: 7 W / 6 M
Open auditions for all 13 parts will be held at the NCRD Performing Arts Center on Monday, March 3rd, and Tuesday, March 4th,.
Audition details are available at www.riverbendplayers.org
Special Audition Notice: Riverbend Players seeks a triple-threat actress for the role of Bitsy Mae Harling in SORDID LIVES (played in the movie by Olivia Newton-John).
Bitsy Mae is a sassy, charming, down-on-her-luck country singer with a heart of gold.
Think Dolly Parton meets a touch of Reba. Must sing country/blues, play guitar proficiently, and possess some acting skills.
Email the director, Frank Squillo, at fsquillo@riverbendplayers.org
SORDID LIVES is a dark comedy set in a small Texas town, revolving around the eccentric Turpin family and their friends as they grapple with the sudden and embarrassing death of the family matriarch.
Peggy’s demise occurs during an illicit tryst in a seedy motel room with her younger, married neighbor, resulting in a hilariously scandalous cover-up.
As the family prepares for Peggy’s funeral, long-buried secrets and family tensions erupt, leading to a series of outrageous events.
The play satirizes small-town life, family dysfunction, and societal prejudices with a sharp wit and a deep affection for its flawed but lovable characters.
SORDID LIVES celebrates individuality and acceptance, even in the face of the most “sordid” circumstances.
It’s a raucous and heartwarming story about finding your place in a world that often tries to define you.
RATED MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY: ‘Sordid Lives’ is intended for mature audiences. The play contains comedic depictions of sensitive topics, including infidelity, mental health, LGBTQ+ issues, strong language, sexual content and innuendos, and situations not suitable for children or some younger audiences. Audience discretion is advised.

What’s a Ranger Station?
More than just an EV charger, a Ranger Station turns your home or vacation rental into a haven for electric vehicle travelers while reducing carbon emissions. Whether for your personal driveway or rental guests, it lets people charge while they sleep—no more detours to fast chargers in Tillamook or Warrenton.
By hosting a Ranger Station, you’re helping to:
– Ease EV travelers’ “charging anxiety”
– Welcome more visitors to your home or rental
– Offset energy costs with simple shared payments
– Build a community supporting sustainable EV travel
We’re already working locally and would love for you to join us! If you’re a homeowner or vacation rental owner, let’s chat.

Cheers,
The Ranger EV Team
Since there were so many records waiting to be posted, I didn’t want to overload you in the summary tonight and did not post everything. So if your post isn’t there, it will be tomorrow.

For the week of: 2/17/2025
What to expect this week:
• Completion of vinyl window install
• Drywall to begin at low roof area
• Exterior weather barrier installation to continue
Major milestones on the project:
• Temporary heat set up inside the building
• Rough carpentry inspections fully signed off
• Both roofs have been vapor barriered and dried in
About the new Health Center and Pharmacy
• The new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy is a project of the Nehalem Bay Health District, an Oregon special district that has existed since the early 1950’s. The
District also owns the Nehalem Valley Care Center, the old Wheeler hospital and the current clinic building on Rowe Street in Wheeler.
• The decision to develop a new Health Center was driven by space limitations in the current clinic, as well as limits on the number of patients who can be served and
services that can be provided.
• The new Health Center will have 15 exam and procedure rooms, a major upgrade from the existing facility, allowing space to accommodate specialty
services, including x-ray and dental.
Have questions?
• Email the Health District at: info@nehalembayhd.org
• Call: Kevin McMurry: 503-753-1185, Jake Werger: 971-221-5958 or Marc Johnson: 208-866-6864
