MEET THE CAST: BRYONIE ARNOLD

This marks Bryonie’s fourth production with Riverbend Players, but she’s over the moon to again share the stage with her son, Oliver, and, for the first time, her husband, Eric!

She lives in Manzanita with her favorite co-stars, their sassy pup, and their adorable kitty.

Bryonie is deeply passionate about art and animals and about bringing a sense of wonder back into the world.

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

“Come with your heart
Come while you heal and fall apart
Come with your pockets emptied
on the table of time”

St. Catherines Episcopal Church on Hwy 101

“Joy doesn’t replace any emotion; it holds them all and keeps any one of them from swallowing us whole. Society has failed to understand this. When it tells us to find joy in suffering it is telling us to let it go, move on, to smile through it. But joy says, Hold on to your sorrow. It can rest safely here.” (Cole Arthur Riley from This Here Flesh)

Kathryn Claire’s Winter Songs – A celebration of the season

Submitted By: kathrynclairearts@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kathryn Claire’s Winter Songs December 6th | 5pm (Doors at 4:30pm) Tickets – $20/$10 – Reservations HERE White Clover Grange, Nehalem, OR
Winter Songs is a show inspired by the season with music to honor the shortest days and longest nights. Weaving together songs, poetry, instrumentals, traditional and original music and a few covers, Kathryn Claire invites the audience to join together in celebration of the season and to bring light to the darkness. Kathryn Claire has been doing a seasonal winter show since 2013 working with a variety of artists. In 2018, Don Henson joined her for Winter Songs on piano and percussion before incorporating Sid Ditson on violin and viola in 2019. The blend of this trio is stunning and their energy together is joyful and heartfelt. Kathryn, Sid and Don reunited in 2022 and released an EP featuring music Kathryn wrote specifically for the show along with a single “Dark of December”. The trio is thrilled to be returning to the White Clover Grange for their 3rd year of this show.
With her violin and voice at the center of her music, Kathryn Claire weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and traditional musical background while infusing each song and composition with an energy and electricity that is palpable. Her musicality and joy on stage is infectious. Honest and poetic writing, crystalline vocals, impassioned violin compositions, and an ability to move seamlessly across genres, are the hallmark of Kathryn Claire’s original and diverse sound.
Don Henson has toured extensively with Kathryn Claire in the Pacific Northwest and played with her “Winter Songs” show since 2018. Don works frequently with Will West and Skip Vonkuske in Portland, OR. His band, ‘Sneakin Out’ has played various stages with Pink Martini, on The Tonight Show (With Jay Leno) and had the honor of playing Carnegie Hall.
Sid Ditson has toured with Kathryn in Belgium and the Netherlands and has been an integral part of Kathryn’s music over the past decade. Sid has been playing violin since childhood. He loves to explore the sometimes irreverent blend of fiddle and violin styles, and brings to the stage and studio a versatility with the instrument that is truly unique. Classical, indie, bluegrass, Celtic and improv are all a part of Sid’s palette, along with an exquisite tone and depth of expression. Sid is often caught grinning while playing, finding it impossible to hide the immense joy that music brings.

Musical Story Time at Manzanita Library

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
The North Oregon Coast Symphony, Tillamook County Library, and Astoria Public Library have partnered to bring live music and hands-on instrument experiences to local preschool children through stories. The first events will be Monday, December 2nd at 10 AM at the Manzanita Library, and Tuesday, December 3rd at 10 AM at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts. Through an enchanting read-aloud text and beautiful artwork, a thrilling and fantastical story of a farmer, a gentle old lady, a dancing dog, and one brave, tiny duckling will warm the heart. NOCS musicians Samantha Kushnick (cello) and Shannon Steele (violin) will accompany the reading of the story. Children will learn more about stringed instruments as the musicians provide demonstrations. Child-sized instruments will be available to examine and play after the story.

This event is free and open to children aged 3-5 and their adults. North Oregon Coast Symphony, a non-profit orchestra, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to perform classical music for local audiences.

A Message From Your Governor

Submitted By: dixiegainer@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Oregon’s Democratic leaders, including Gov. Tina Kotek, signaled the state will stand ready to oppose Trump administration policies that run counter to values the majority of Oregonians support, as it did during his first term.
“Oregonians have shown they will continue to lead with compassion, courage, and conviction — protecting a place where everyone can be themselves, feel welcome and have equal opportunity to a healthy, prosperous life,” Kotek said Wednesday. “We will continue to march forward and stand together as a shield against any attempt to undermine our fundamental freedoms. Our laws, our policies, and our actions will remain a deterrent to any attacks on our values and our democracy.

My feelings? – so shut up about Trump already – you are protected by a healthy prosperous life. OK?
Inflation will continue.
Oregon schools will still be way behind/ even last!
Emphasis on sex will be primary focus in education.
Parents who object will still be called terrorists.
Parents will have no idea what is happening to their minor kids.
The state still controls your minor kids reproductive organs.
We will continuously pay higher taxes.
Your state election system will continue to have dirty voter roles.
And farms will continue to go under.
So whats to complain about?
A healthy prosperous life lies ahead!
