NEWPORT — The Seafood & Wine Festival is the biggest event on the Oregon Coast and tickets go fast. Anyone wanting to attend either “locals’ night� on Thursday, Feb. 23, the main event in Saturday, Feb. 25, must have an advance e-ticket — so don’t delay, get your pass to this gigantic grape gala before they sell out.

LINCOLN CITY — Portlanders like their coee strong, their pants tight and their comedy raunchier than a pair of hipsters in heat. So prepare to blush beet red this Saturday, Feb 18, as a trio of Stumptown’s

MANZANITA — It might surprise some people to hear that “South Parkâ€? is written by grown ups rather than a herd of hyperactive nine-year-olds who somehow gained access to the espresso machine. But for award-winning author Arthur Bradford, the show oers valuable lessons for anyone thinking of putting pen to paper. See page 11

C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y L O R I T O B I A S

A WINE-WIN DEAL Some years ago, I was invited to attend a food and wine fest in Adelaide, Australia. It was a great trip with visits to wineries, restaurants and markets, and lots and lots of tastings. The days started early and lasted long into the evening, but it’s hard to complain when you are being wined and dined on the best, flown or ferried to some of the prettiest landscapes and loaded down with all sorts of gifts. There came a day, however, when I was seriously beginning to wonder what I had gotten myself into. That moment came on a morning at a winery when I, the only travel writer amidst dozens of food and wine writers, was included in a red wine tasting. It was 9 am when they began bringing the wines to our table. All around me the other writers were taking notes, entering information into laptop computer programs and making comments that really made little sense to me. For my part, I just sipped and spit, sipped and spit, sipped and spit. And swished with water every chance I got. The only thought I give to wine judging these days is when I head to the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival and try to decide

what wines to buy. Obviously, the gold is always enticing, but I’ve been known to sample the silver and bronze and even those with no bling suspended around their necks. What I hadn’t given thought to was how those medals are awarded. Who competes? Who judges? And do those medals really matter? Lorna Davis, executive director of the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, was more than happy to enlighten me. It turns out this behind-the-scenes effort that most of us probably give little thought is a big part of the festival’s success. The competition takes place in early February in a hotel hospitality suite where this year veteran judges tasted wines from 80 festival participants. “Only the wineries that are in the festival can enter their wine and they can only enter up to three different kinds to be judged,” said Davis, AKA as the queen of the Newport cheering squad. “We usually end up with 180 different wines to judge. They put them in flights. It’s blind judging — the wines are represented only by a number — and each

judge is polled and they score or don’t score the wine. It can be bronze, silver or gold or no score. If it’s a no score, it means they don’t think that it is worthy of a medal. Then they discuss it. If they taste a wine and there is a question about the cork or the wine wasn’t sealed properly or is spoiled, they will open a fresh bottle and taste it. Most wineries that come to the festival participate. Often that’s why we have a waiting list. It’s a really prestigious competition and has come to be known among wine connoisseurs. It’s one of the longest standing ones in the northwest.” The judging lasts for two days with a break for lunch and ending with dinner each evening. Some of the judges write food and wine columns and one comes all the way from Colorado. One of the high points comes when the Best of Show is announced, Davis said. “A couple of years ago, Ponzi Winery — one of the oldest wineries in Oregon — won Best of Show. The judges were all delightfully surprised because they don’t know when they name the best of show who the winery

is and the big reveal is always an exciting moment in the competition. It’s fun to see the looks on their faces when the winners are revealed. Ponzi produces fantastic wine, but they had never taken Best of Show. It won for a Chardonnay. A couple of years before a sparkling wine took best of show. “We honestly feel the competition is one of the reasons the festival has been so successful. It is known as the competition to win. The judges are some of the unsung heroes of the event. We need to pat them on the back more often.” And knowing what I know about judging, I have to agree. On that morning in Australia, we tasted 42 reds, and what I remember most was not a particular wine or what I learned about judging or my new appreciation for spitting and swishing, but that midway through those flights of red, I would have given my eye teeth for a Pepsi.

learn a little

Pleased to meteor TAKE A SHINE TO SCIENCE,

AT GEMS CAMP

Registration is now open for a unique camp in Newport focusing on science, technology, engineering and math for 7th and 8th grade girls on the Oregon Coast. The Girls in Engineering and Marine Science (GEMS) camp will run from March 10 to 11 at the Hatfield Marine Science Center, led by female faculty and graduate students from Oregon State University. Participants will develop teamwork, communication and leadership skills and learn from mentors about what it is like to pursue a degree and career in engineering and marine-related fields. The girls will also engage in a variety of hands-on activities, get behind-the-scenes tours and spend the night in the shark tunnel at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, where they will learn about additional career opportunities. The camp begins at 9 am on Friday, March 10, and ends at 4 pm Saturday, March 11. Meals are included both days. Parents and guardians should register participants at http://tinyurl.com/

It has welcomed journalists, explorers, doctors and more throughout the years, but the Oregon Coast Learning Institute will host its most extravagantly titled speaker this Tuesday, Feb. 21, when killer asteroid hunter Sifan Kahale takes to the stage. In a presentation entitled “The Hunt for Killer Asteroids,” Kahale will give a virtual tour of the PanSTARRS Observatory on Maui, the world’s most prolific discoverer of Near Earth Objects — asteroids that might hit Earth. Starting at 10 am, Kahale will use a virtual 3D model of the observatory to show what sort of work goes on there and how it is changing the world of astronomy. At 11 am, Betsy Altomare, co-owner of Lincoln City’s Bijou Theatre, will present “Go Digital or Go Dark,” looking at the challenges of running an independent theater the megamotion picture industry, plus a look at what’s predicted to be “Hot or Not” for 2017.

Sifan Kahale

Laurie Weitkamp will wrap things up at 1 pm with her talk on “The Blob,” a mass of warm water that has resulted in dramatic changes to marine ecosystems from Alaska to Mexico. Weitkamp will describe how the Blob and El Niño changed the ocean and the biological response to those changes, including many observations from the Oregon Coast.

The Oregon Coast Learning Institute meets each Tuesday at Salishan Spa and Golf Resort, located east of the traffic light at Gleneden Beach. Dues of $50 cover all of the 12 Tuesdays in the winter semester, and guests are always welcome to attend a full day’s presentations for free. For more information, go to www.ocli.us or call Ric at 541-994-4810.

Samaritan offers hospice training

GEMSMar2017 no later than March 3. The camp is made possible by a grant from Oregon State University’s Women’s Giving Circle and additional funding from the Oregon Coast STEM Hub,

For more information on this and other programs, go to the Oregon Coast STEM Hub website at http:// oregoncoaststem.oregonstate. edu or contact Tracy Crews at OregonCoastSTEM@ oregonstate.edu.

Upcoming courses in Lincoln City and Newport will offer training for people interested in becoming hospice volunteers and filling a much-needed role in the community. Provided by Samaritan Health Services, the free training aims to provide volunteers with the tools they will need to support patients and families. “Lincoln County is a rural community,” said Sherrie Flinn, volunteer coordinator for Samaritan’s hospices in Newport and Lincoln City. “I feel we have a responsibility to take care of our neighbors.”

6 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • february 17, 2017

“When someone is sick, family and friends want to take care of their loved one,” Flinn added, “but often they need a break to take care of themselves.” Hospice volunteers receive more than 20 hours of annual training and are matched to a patient and situation that make both feel comfortable. Most volunteers work an hour a week, and up to four hours if they want to be more involved. Flinn said military veterans and people from smaller outlying communities including Beaver, Rose Lodge, Siletz, Logsden, Blodgett

and Yachats are particularly sought as volunteers. She said the impact that volunteers can have on the lives of patients is unmistakable. “It’s just a beautiful thing,” Flinn said. “I believe that we all want to find purpose in our lives and sometimes that overflows into the lives of others. That is why we keep doing what we do.” The training courses begin on Thursday, March 9, in Lincoln City and Monday, March 27, in Newport. For complete details and to register, call Flinn at 541996-7328.

He’s not kidding Lincoln City’s Captain Dan tackles questions on child-rearing Tell Dr. Sears to walk the plank. Sears is just an oldschool, milktoast, let-thechild-express-his-feelings sort of child-rearing expert, and it’s time for some fresh opinions. We can’t think of anyone fresher than Cap’n Dan, the co-owner of Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Company in Lincoln City. The Cap’n raised three children of his own, and all but two are still speaking to him. Plus, he spends his days playing in frosting and trying not to eat all the cookies – that has to stand for something in the field of child psychology. To learn more about Cap’n Dan’s theories on raising children in the 21st century, we asked our readers to submit their burning questions and toughest problem, for our next installment of our popular series, “Ask a Pirate.” Dear Cap’n Dan, I’m an expectant father, and I’m really worried about my lack of skills. When we bring our brand new baby home, how will I know how to change diapers? Or how to put the baby to sleep? Or when to feed him, or how much. Help! Ready, Able, Scared and Hysterical Dear RASH, Brand new baby? Aren’t all babies new? And they don’t come with a brand, although they should. That way, there might be a guarantee, or a manual, or at least the fine print that says “Not Valid in All 50 States.” A baby is the only important thing you

pay a lot of money for, that doesn’t come with a manual of any kind. They really should. Just the basic stuff like “This side up,” “Wipe when wet,” and “Objects may appear a bit larger when they are thown at you.” I guess it doesn’t really matter. You can’t send them back to the factory when they are defective. Dear Cap’n Dan, I have trouble getting my children to behave, and to eat well at dinner. Do you have any helpful suggestions? So Worried Everyone Eats Toast

Dear SWEET, Children are like little pirates, running around looking for treasure. Dubloons, pastry, pie a la mode, it doesn’t really matter as long as it’s a treat, for an accomplishment. A reward. So if they do what you ask, give them a pastry every day. Pirates love rewards, and if it’s a cookie, you’ll know your little pirate has been eating all the food groups, except vegetables and meat. No alcohol. That’s part of a grownup pirate’s food pyr-ARR-mid. Dear Cap’n Dan, My children are constantly tugging at my

sleeve, saying “Mom,” over and over. Sometimes I answer after the first “Mom,” and they keep going. What is this about? How can I get them to learn the art of conversation? Someone Help Us To Understand Parenting Dear SHUT UP, Here in our pastry shop, I hear that all the time. Mom? What. Mom? What. It’s like a ping pong game! I don’t think you should bother answering at first, because even if you do they will keep going. They’re thinking, “Wait!

over, and try to find your wallet in that wet diaper. And when you do train your child, limit their toilet paper consumption. That reminds me of my favorite diaper rash treatment: rum, a healthy dose of rum on each cheek. That’ll teach the little darlins’ not to do it again.

Dear Cap’n Dan, How will I know when my child is ready to be potty trained? Surely, it’s any time now. Papa Overwhelmed with Odor

Dear Cap’n Dan, Should I be worried if my child doesn’t speak by age 2? Silly, Histrionic Housewife

Dear POO, At what age should you potty train them? When you can no longer get into the bathroom? But there’s no strict time table, so long as they are out of their diapers before they get their driver’s license. It’s very embarrassing to get pulled

TU-TU MUCH FUN

A still from the Oscar-nominated “Pear Cider and Cigarettes”

Go Oscars wild From Oscar frontrunners to a low-budget Swedish comedy, the Bijou’s Spring film Series is gearing up for another eclectic season. The series begins on Sunday and Monday, Feb. 19 and 20, with a screening of this year’s Oscar-nominated short films, with live-action entries on Sunday and animated offerings on Monday. Audience members will able to cast ballots for their favorite, but don’t hold your breath for a fancy bag full of Oscars swag. On Sunday and Monday, March 5 and 6, the series will continue with “A Man Called Ove,” a 2016 Swedish film directed by Hannes Holm. The PG-13 tale tells the story of an ill-tempered retiree who spends his days enforcing block association rules and who has finally given up on life just as an unlikely friendship develops with his boisterous new neighbors. The film has been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Makeup at this year’s Academy Awards. Another Oscar nominee will be on offer on Sunday

and Monday, March 12 and 13, when audiences will get to enjoy “Moonlight.” This 2016, R-rated movie directed by Barry Jenkins chronicles the life of a young black man from childhood to adulthood as he struggles to find his place in the world. The film received eight Academy Award nominations, including best supporting actor and actress nods for Mahershala Ali and Naomi Harris. The series will wrap up with screenings of “20th Century Women” on Sunday and Monday, March 19 and 20. Directed by Mike Mills, this 2017, R-rated film tells the story of three women who explore love and freedom in Santa Barbara during the late 1970s. Annette Benning, Elle Fanning and Greta Gerwig star. All screenings start at 7 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets are $7.50, reduced to $7 for seniors, students and Oregon Coast Council for the Arts members. For more information, call 541-265-ARTS.

The Lincoln City Cultural Center will be raising the barre for dance lovers of all ages this Saturday, Feb. 18, when it presents a special afternoon with The Portland Ballet. The program, presented by the group’s most advanced, pre-professional students will begin with a choreographed demonstration of a dancer’s daily class exercises with an element of audience participation. The dancers will then perform a selection of pieces from the group’s repertoire, including excerpts from classical ballets and contemporary works set to engaging music. The Portland Ballet, established in 2001 by retired dancers Nancy Davis and Jim Lane, trains young ballet artists in a rigorous, supportive and performancecentered environment under artistic director Anne Mueller. The group provides instruction for dancers at all levels, including Curriculum Ballet for ages six to 19, Creative Ballet for ages three to six, and weekly open adult and teen classes. The group also trains male dancers through the region’s only men’s ballet program, and offers a Summer Ballet Intensive for local dancers and students from around the country. The Lincoln City performance will begin at 2 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Admission is $6 for adults, $4 for kids aged six to 18, and free for itty bitty ballerinas agd five and younger. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Tickets are on sale now at the center’s website, www. lincolncity-culturalcenter.org, or by calling 541-994-9994.

En more pointe... This is not the only youth ballet opportunity at the cultural center. Diane Christiansen is offering Beginning Ballet in the dance studio every Saturday from 1 to 3 pm. Dancers aged seven and up are taught from 1 to 2 pm, with those aged three and a half to six starting at 2 pm. The price is $36 per month, with a discount for additional siblings. For more information, call Christiansen at 507-5147984.

Respect his author-ity To some it might seem no more than a gaggle of foulmouthed nine-yearolds perpetually bundled in winter garb, but for awardwinning author Arthur Bradford, “South Park” is quite the inspiration. And this Saturday, Feb. 18, Bradford will bring his admiration for Cartman, Kenny and company to the Oregon Coast, kicking off the 2017 season of the Manzanita Writers’ Series. In a workshop entitled “What Can Writers Learn From South Park?” Bradford will argue that the unconventional way the show is produced offers valuable lessons for anyone engaged in creative pursuit, especially writers. Bradford has published two books of fiction and is also an established documentary filmmaker. He brought his writer’s sensibility to a recent film project in which he documented the creation of “South Park” for Comedy Central. The film, “Six Days to Air” was nominated for an Emmy Award, in part because of the unprecedented, intimate access to the writer’s room of the show. In the Manzanita workshop, Bradford will show clips from his film and discuss which lessons

Above: Cartman from “South Park” Left: Arthur Bradford

apply to writers of both fiction and non-fiction. The lessons will then be applied

to short writing exercises, after which participants are encouraged to share and comment on each other’s work. The workshop will run from 1 to 3:30 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. Tuition is $40 and online registration is available at http:/hoffman.blog. Later that evening, Bradford will return to the

“Cleopatra’s Needle,” by Carol Summers

center to read from his collection of short stories “Turtle Face and Beyond.” The reading will begin at 7 pm and will be followed by a Q&A and then an open mic where up to nine local or visiting writers will read five minutes of their original work. The suggested theme is “A Good Idea That Turned Bad.” Admission for the evening reading is $7.

Needle little art? Watercolors by Yachats artist Carol Summers are on display in the latest Artisan Spotlight at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery in Newport. Summers said the watercolor medium allows endless experiments in light, color and form, allowing her to express her love of flowers, her interest in the energy of people and places, and her appreciation for ancient structures. Born in Indiana, Summers moved to Oregon at the age of seven. After her junior year at the University of Oregon she moved to Seattle where she ultimately began her career as a court reporter. After retiring, Summers moved to Yachats in 2003. From 2004 through 2006

she painted with acrylics in the decorative arts style at the Tole Tree in Yachats with Kay Ludlow. In 2005 she added watercolor and has studied watercolor in Florence with Susan Weathers and at the Yaquina Art Association. She became a founding member of Yachats Arts Guild in 2007 and won the People’s Choice Award in 2010. She received awards at Celebrate the Arts in Florence, and won a blue ribbon at the Lincoln County Fair in 2015. Her abstract “Curvique” received an Award of Achievement in 2012 from the Watercolor Society of Oregon. The show will run through Friday, Feb. 24, 11 am to 4 pm daily at the gallery 789 NW Beach Drive.

HERE’S TO A GLASS ACT Newport celebrates its 40th annual Seafood & Wine Festival By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY

Winter on the coast means the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival, quite possibly the most popular annual event on Oregon’s pristine shores. Every year since 1977, the city of Newport draws seafood and wine fans from California and the Pacific Northwest to taste, sample and mingle with locals and visiting enthusiasts. Now in its 40th year, the festival celebrates the ocean’s bounty and the lush vineyards championed worldwide. It has become a four-day extravaganza featuring commercial and amateur wine competitions, culinary professionals offering a tasty variety of seafood delights and regional artisans showcasing their craft. “There is a certain momentum to this festival that accounts for the increased popularity over the years,” said Lorna Davis, executive director of the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, which coordinates the entire event. “Some of it is the feel, the spirit of each day’s events and awards activities. People have good memories of coming and being a part of it all.” The festival kicks off at 5 pm on Thursday, Feb 23, for the traditional ‘locals night’ featuring Ultrasonic’s club karaoke, Rock Box. While opening night is not limited to locals, it typically offers highly spirited entertainment without the challenge of weekend crowds. Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s events include larger audiences, an

expanded events calendar and awards competitions. This year, more than 80 wineries are competing for the festival’s coveted awards. Each winery is allowed to submit three entries, which are judged by a nationwide panel. Winners will be announced prior to the festival’s opening. There are also the hotly contested amateur wine and booth decoration competitions, both of which are decided by a vote of the festival’s guests, who number between 20,000 and 25,000 every year. Davis says this number includes the hundreds of volunteers and 170 vendors who comprise almost half of the crowd.

The vendors are the heart of each day’s activities. Wineries provide tastings and purchases by the bottle or case. Food vendors offer a smorgasbord of seafood delights, including crab melts, oysters, fish tacos, clam chowder, smoked fishes, seafood gumbo, crab and shrimp cocktails. There are multiple eclectic cultural dishes and non-seafood delicacies such as cured meats, candies, fudge, jellies and jams, dried herb blends for cooking, local cheeses, breads, stuffed olives and an array of nuts. Beer lovers can enjoy ales, pilsners, IPAs and stouts. Artisans showcase their pottery, jewelry, glass art, clothing, beads, wood

crafts and commemorative festival merchandise. An organizing committee of community and chamber members includes multiple unsung heroes who donate time and behind-the-scenes energy to the festival. “This is a major fundraising event for the chamber and the 20 local non-profits that benefit by providing contract services,” Davis said. “This includes parking support, security, cleaning services, assistance with food vendors and pouring for the wineries.” The festival organizers work hard to mitigate congestion by capping daily attendance and offering daily shuttle bus service from

14 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • february 17, 2017

23 locations throughout Newport. Look for the Mid Columbia school buses to get free transport to and from the festival site at the Newport Marina, adjacent to Rogue Brewery. A map of the shuttle stops and schedules is available at http://seafoodandwine.com/ event-map. New this year is the Ruby Club Membership, which gives patrons a fourday VIP entrance pass, a commemorative wine glass, swag bag with vouchers for wine tasting flights, food and merchandise. The Ruby Club Membership costs $150 and is limited to 250 guests. Also new is the positioning of the tents, which should

enhance the overall flow and navigation among the booths. Chinook Winds Casino Resort is the festival’s presenting sponsor and offers tremendous support to ensure its success. In addition, there are more than 50 businesses, both local and out of area, who participate with various levels of sponsorships. For more information, ticket prices, schedules, maps, shuttles, parking, hotel and sponsorship information, go to http:// seafoodandwine.com. A festival app is available on the site. Thursday and Saturday admission is by e-ticket only; must be 21 or older with valid ID.

PDX-tremely funny Lincoln City’s Eventuary will offer an evening of laughter, drinks and Italian food this Saturday, Feb. 18, with a visit from a trio of Portland comedians.

personnel. Donations will be gratefully accepted. This year, the volunteers selected a succulent, honeycured ham from Kenny’s IGA, a delicious brown gravy sauce and coleslaw. For dessert, Mo’s Restaurant is donating its famous marionberry cobbler, making this truly a community effort. North Lincoln Fire & Rescue volunteers will welcome hungry friends and families with an exhibit, bigger displays, their newest engines and trucks, and information about earthquakes, tsunamis, fire prevention and life safety. Local CERT members and

other emergency preparedness organizations will also be on hand. Ever since the first ham dinner in 1957, proceeds from the feast, along with other donations, have helped the department buy a number of items it could not otherwise afford, including thermal-imaging cameras, heart monitors, “Jaws of Life” equipment and a stair chair to help move patients. Purchases of water rescue gear included $3,500 for a rapiddeployment, inflatable rescue craft. Taft High School is located at 3780 SE Spy Glass Ridge Drive, Lincoln City.

Josie Rourke directs the production, with Gemma Arterton in the title role. The screening, presented by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will begin at 7 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street.

A regal revelation

COMING SOON

The Dinner Party A Comedy By Neil Simon

MARCH 2 - MARCH 25, 2017

After a weeks-long teaser campaign, Driftwood Public Library has unveiled the book at the heart of the inaugural Lincoln City Reads event. For two weeks, visitors to the library witnessed the gradual revelation of a promotional poster showing Circulation Supervisor Ken Hobson expertly Photoshopped into a King Henry the Eighth costume. On Tuesday, Feb. 14, staff revealed the final piece of the puzzle, showing Hobson holding a copy of “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore” by Robin Sloan. Lincoln City Reads is the latest addition to a worldwide collection of community reading events that began in 1998 when the Washington Center for the Book hosted author Russell Banks for four days of programs and discussion about his novel “The Sweet Hereafter.” The library has scheduled the program to coincide with Lincoln City Community Days during the last week of April and has put together a series of events to encourage the community to read and discuss the book. That lineup of events will be revealed on Friday, March 3, when the program kicks off with an after-hours trivia party at the library at 7 pm, hosted by Mr. Bill of Mr. Bill’s Traveling Trivia Show. Refreshments will be served and copies of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore will be available to buy at a deep discount. Published to many positive reviews in 2012, “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore” is the first book by author Robin Sloan and was a bestseller both in hardcover and in paperback. It was chosen as one of the 100 best books of 2012 by The San Francisco Chronicle and was a New York Times Editor’s Choice. Circulation Supervisor Ken Hobson said library staff chose the book after weeks of discussion and voting because of its broad appeal, its light and positive tone, and the way it combined elements of fantasy, mystery, friendship and adventure while exploring the transition between new technology and old. “Not to mention cryptic codes, secret societies, puzzles, and other delicious elements of intrigue!” he said. For more information, go to www. driftwoodlib.org or contact Hobson at khobson@lincolncity.org or 541-9961242.

PLOT A COURSE TO TILLAMOOK Life imitates art with fatal consequences this Friday, Feb. 17, as the curtain goes up on “A Sting in the Tale,” the latest production from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts. Written by Brian Clemens and Dennis Spooner, “A Sting in the Tale” follows playwrights Nigel Forbes and Max Goodman — oncesuccessful crime writers who are now struggling to write their next hit show. While the pair are trying to come up with new plot ideas, Forbes’ wife, Ann, barges into the room, complaining bitterly about their lack of inspiration and their drain on the bank account. Feeding off the animosity of Ann’s nagging, Forbes and Goodman start writing the perfect murder — of Ann. But when the writing of the new play and reality get confused, their secretary, Jill, gets killed by mistake. Star struck Detective Berry arrives and gets mixed up in the mess, facing questions including “Who is the body in the trunk?” and “Who got buried under the guesthouse?” TAPA newcomers Steve Lewis and John Pickering star as Forbes and Goodman, joined by Anita O’Hagan as Ann. O’Hagan was most recently in last summer’s TAPA hit “Vanya, Sonia, Masha & Spike!” TAPA’s Val Braun plays Jill the secretary while Richard Coon,

another TAPA veteran, plays Detective Berry. “A Sting in the Tale” is directed by Chris Chiola and produced by Diane Cross. The play’s three-week run begins with a gala performance at 7 pm on Friday, Feb. 17, and continues with 7 pm performances every Friday and Saturday, plus two matinée performances at 2 pm on Sunday, Feb. 26, and March 5.
