here comes a time in every editor’s life — possibly upon returning from a Christmas vacation and having desperately played catch up from the moment the plane hit the tarmac — that he has to throw aside the notion of an enlightening, well-crafted editorial and resort to simply rolling out a good penguin joke instead.
beach reads p. 5 & 6 coast calendar p. 12 & 13
I only know two penguin jokes and one of them is certainly not fit for telling in mixed company — or indeed any company outside of the grungiest bar in Glasgow. So here I present to you, dear reader, my very cleanest penguin joke. A state trooper is parked up at the side of the highway just outside Portland, waiting for something to happen, when he sees a red car racing Patrick Alexander past at a clip far exceeding the speed limit. He hits Editor the lights, makes chase and pulls the suspect over. When he reaches the car, the trooper peers in through the driver’s side window and is surprised to see a penguin sitting in the back seat, staring blankly ahead. “Thank goodness you’re here,” the driver says. “I’ve got to get this little fellow to the zoo.” Energized by the prospect of doing a good deed, the trooper rushes back to his cruiser, fires up the lights again and blazes a trail straight toward Portland Zoo. The red car pulls up to the main entrance, with the driver giving a hearty wave of thanks as he drives through. Filled with pride at a job well done, the trooper goes back to the station and clocks out for the night. The next day, the same trooper is parked up beside the same stretch of highway just outside Portland, waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the same red car comes racing by — this time heading west toward Lincoln City. The trooper hits the lights, makes chase and, once again, pulls the car over. Sure enough, it’s the same guy driving the car and, in the back seat, what looks very much like the same penguin — only this time sitting on a towel. “What’s going on?” the trooper demands, “Yesterday, you told me you had to get that little fellow to the zoo.” The driver looks up with a big smile. “Oh yes officer, we’ve been to the zoo and had a lovely time,” he says. “Today, we’re heading to the beach.” Boomw-boom.
Happy New Year everyone.

Words to sweep you away
Newport author Carla Perry’s autobiographical tale of growing up in Manhattan will come to life in three staged readings throughout January. Creative Connections Foundation of Toledo will perform readings from “Riva Beside Me: New York City 1963-1966” in Toledo, Portland and Newport. Perry’s work won praise from Leanne Grabel, cofounder of Café Lena, the site of Portland’s longest running poetry open mic. “Perry manages, with her complex characterizations, and spare, well-toned, evocative prose, to take her readers on a gut-wrenching, inspiring ride from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other,” Grabel said. The characters include: Riva, played by Sarah Gayle; Richard, played by Hovey Grosvenor; The Mother, played by KE Edmisten; and The Narrator, played by Wayne Plourde. Perry will be on hand to introduce the show and to answer questions afterward. The first reading is scheduled for 3 to 5 pm on Sunday, Jan.12, at Toledo’s SolaLuna Gallery, 147 N. Main Street. On Monday, Jan. 20, the group will perform at the Three Friends Coffee House, 201 SE 12th Avenue, Portland, from 7 to 8 pm. followed by an open mic. The final performance will take place from 6 to 8 pm on Friday, Jan. 31, at Club 1216, Canyon Way Bookstore & Restaurant, 1216 SW Canyon Way, Newport. Admission to all shows is free, but donations are encouraged. Additional performances will be scheduled after January. For those interested in hosting a staged reading of “Riva Beside Me,” and for all other information, contact info@dancingmoonpress or call 541-574-7708.

beach reads Care for a peace of cake?
The work of prolific poet and committed pacifist William Stafford will be the subject of celebration at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library on Sunday, Jan. 5, to mark the birthday of the former Oregon poet-laureate, who died in 1993. The reading is hosted by the local Friends of William Stafford, who encourage guests to bring a poem to read aloud before enjoying door prizes and cake. Listeners are also welcome. Stafford, born in Kansas in 1914, spent his working life in Oregon. He called his plainspoken poetry the record of a person thinking. He was well known in poetry circles for his encouragement of aspiring writers, sometimes advising them to “lower your standards and keep writing.” He became Oregon’s poet laureate in 1975. The annual series of readings is held in January, the month of Stafford’s birth, all over Oregon, the U.S., and internationally. A complete list of Stafford birthday events is available at the Friends of William Stafford website, www.williamstafford.org. This will be the first in a series of once-a-month events taking place at Driftwood Public Library as part of the 2014 Oregon Reads program, which looks closely at Stafford’s works. The reading will take place at 3 pm in the Community Room of the library on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101. For more information, contact Ron Sears at 541-996-1255 or rsears@driftwoodlib.org.
It’s time for some light reading at the Bay City Arts Center
Nancy Slavin and Elia Seely, authors and co-publishers for Feather Mountain Press & Literary Services, will be reading from their novels at the Bay City Arts Center on Friday, Jan. 10. Slavin is a writer, editor and writing instructor for Tillamook Bay Community College. She has also worked as a natural history guide in
Alaska, an educator for a non-profit organization seeking to stop violence against women, and a literary tutor. She lives in Bay City with her husband and daughter. Slavin’s novel, “Moorings,” follows 23-year-old Anne Holloway as she journeys from the lower 48 to Alaska to find her biological father. While unraveling the violent truth about
her family’s history, Anne’s presence precipitates break-ups, boat crashes and unexpected storms. Ultimately, she discovers that true identity can be found within. Seely is a freelance writer, astrologer and healer. She is passionate about nature, the written word and connecting with people and the world around her. She is a fifth generation
Weave your own wool rug
Oregonian, currently in love with and living at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colorado. Seely’s novel “Whisper Down the Years” is a literary mystery set in the moody Orkney Islands, off the northern coast of Scotland, combining her love of literature and the mystery genre. The story explores the themes of spiritual power, justice and the bonds
forged and broken within family and isolated communities. The Jan. 10 readings will begin at 7 pm at the Bay City Arts Center, 5680 A Street. For more information, call 503-377-9620.

This library’s booked solid
Driftwood Public Library is gearing up for its annual Oregon Legacy Series — ďŹ ve visits from notable writers from across the state. The legacy series began 20 years ago, when the Friends of Driftwood Public Library created the event to celebrate the library’s new home at the Lincoln Square Civic Complex and to thank the community for all of its support during the transition. The result was the ďŹ rst literary series ever presented in Lincoln County. “For 24 hours we treat an Oregon author like a hero,â€? former library director Sue Jenkins said, “as all authors and artists should be treated.â€?
This year’s series opens on Sunday, Jan. 12, when Sharon Sites Adams visits the library to read from and discuss her 2008 memoir “PaciďŹ c Lady.â€? Adams was born in Washington, but took her ďŹ rst sailing lesson at California’s Marina Del Rey in October 1964 at the age of 34. She was the only civilian besides the captain’s wife on the bridge of the Queen Mary when it rounded Cape Horn on its ďŹ nal voyage to Long Beach, California. In 1965 she became the ďŹ rst woman to sail
alone from California to Hawaii, which she did in 39 days in her 25-foot folkboat, Sea Sharp. Adams later became the ďŹ rst woman to sail solo across the PaciďŹ c Ocean, voyaging from Yokohama to San Diego in the Sea Sharp II in 1969. For this feat she was named the Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year. She now resides in Portland. On Sunday, Jan. 19, R. Gregory Nokes will visit to discuss his non-ďŹ ction work. Nokes retired in 2003 after 43 years in journalism, including 25 years with the Associated Press and 15 years with The Oregonian. While with the AP, he was stationed in New York, San Juan, Buenos Aires and Washington, DC, where he served as both an economics and diplomatic correspondent. He traveled to more than 50 countries during his career. Since retiring from journalism, Nokes has embarked on a second career as a writer and lecturer on PaciďŹ c Northwest history. His books include “Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon,â€? and “Breaking Chains: Slavery on Trial in the Oregon Territory.â€?He now lives with his wife, Candise, in West Linn.

Novelist Monica Drake will continues the series on Sunday, Jan. 26. Drake graduated with an MFA from the University of Arizona and teaches at the PaciďŹ c Northwest College of Art. Her debut novel, “Clown Girl,â€? was published by the independent press Hawthorne Books and has won an Eric Hoer Award as well as an IPPY. It has been translated into Italian and was recently optioned for ďŹ lm by Kristen Wiig. Her most recent novel is “The Stud Book.â€? Local favorite Matt Love, who has recently relocated to Astoria, will visit the library on Sunday, Feb. 2. A lifelong educator and publisher of Nestucca Spit Press, Love is the author/editor of 10 books about Oregon, including the Beaver State and Newport trilogies. In 2009, he won the Oregon Literary Arts’ Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award for his contributions to Oregon history and literature. He shares his love of the state’s publicly owned beaches through a regular column in the Oregon Coast TODAY. His latest book is “Of Walking in Rain.â€? The series wraps up on Sunday, Feb. 9, with a visit from Pauls Toutonghi.
Toutonghi was born in 1976 to an Egyptian father and a Latvian mother. His writing has appeared in publications including Granta; The New York Times; Zoetrope: All-Story; and Sports Illustrated. Toutonghi received a Pushcart Prize for his short story “Regeneration,â€? which appeared in The Boston Review in 2000, when he was 23. His ďŹ rst novel, “Red Weather,â€? published in 2006, was translated into Latvian and German — and received good reviews in periodicals across the country. After receiving his PhD in English Literature from Cornell University, Toutonghi moved from Brooklyn to Portland, where he now teaches at Lewis & Clark College. All Oregon Legacy presentations are free thanks to support from the Friends of Driftwood Public Library and the D’Sands Condominium Motel, which provides free lodging for each of the writers. Each presentation begins at 3 pm in the library, located on the second oor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or kenh@lincolncity.org.

H
Here at the coast we need a lot of comforting. It rains. We’re cold. We worry about earthquakes and tsunamis. It’s Tuesday. Luckily, Cecil’s Dirty Apron in Newport has the cure for all our ills: southern comfort food that chef Ibin Polk brought north with him from his native Tampa area. Whether it’s shrimp and grits, wild boar quesadillas, Cubano sandwiches, or winter spice-infused bourbon that serves as your panacea, you can find it seven days a week at the Dirty Apron. “We wanted to bring something to the community that was different as far as the menu, and make it a fun place to hang out,” said Polk, who is also the co-owner of the restaurant. Mission accomplished. Polk is a selftaught chef who started out in the pizza world. He knows what he loved to eat growing up in Tampa and on the North Carolina/Georgia border and he knew that
Newport would love it too. Polk serves up lots of menu items not seen elsewhere in Newport, like collard greens, alligator, and that southern classic, the chocolate bacon cheeseburger. His best-sellers include the chicken and waffle sandwich, frog legs (“I go through a case a week!” he marveled), and his exotic specials made with boar, elk and alligator. He makes nearly everything on the menu completely from scratch, from the gumbo to the house mojo pork for pulled pork sandwiches (roasted low and slow for 15-20 hours). “I’m trying new and fun things all the time,” he said, so even his regulars have something novel to try. The Dirty Apron has a full bar which features Twisted Snout and Rogue beers, a range of wines and creative cocktails. The bar serves 360 vodkas (which are infused with flavors like buttered popcorn and raspberry) and their own infused bourbons. Bloody Marys made with fried chicken vodka are a favorite. Their house-made winter harvest bourbon, with apply-cinnamony flavor notes, hit the spot on a recent visit on a rainy night. On that rainy night, our table was piled high with a wide range of tasty menu items. We started with Carolina chicken bites which came with Polk’s tangy and authentic Carolina-style mustard-based barbecue sauce. The wild boar quesadillas with mango salsa were almost (but not quite) gone before I could sample them — the salsa provided the perfect sweet complement to the savory and delicious ground boar. The meatloaf sandwich was generous and homey, and the oyster po’ boy was crunchy, perfectly spicy and dripping
with house-made slaw. Southerners know that everything is better with waffles. Polk’s signature dessert is a massive waffle ice cream sandwich with peanut butter, chocolate sauce and Georgia peach sauce — decadent and generous. We refrained, just barely, from licking the plate clean. In addition to good food and drink, the Dirty Apron is all about down-to-earth fun. The unassuming storefront next to Abby’s Pizza houses the restaurant’s brightly colored walls and even more brightly colored artwork on the walls, painted by Chef Polk himself. Four big-screen TVs cater to sports fans and movie buffs. It’s one of the few places in town where families with kids can watch Thursday night NFL games. They recently installed a Golden Tee golf arcade game and they have platinum series lottery machines in a separate gaming room and Keno as well. In the summertime, they have a dog-friendly outdoor deck in the back. Happy Hour is 4 to 6 pm every day, when they offer specials on Toledobrewed Twisted Snout beers and rotating food specials. Part of the fun at the Dirty Apron is the live music on stage five nights a week. Depending on the night, you can hear jazz, blues and classic rock played by many local favorite performers, including the Bringetto-Cameron Jazz Orchestra, Past Forward, Coyote Morning and others. Sundays (4 to 7 pm) is the weekly blues jam, and Wednesdays and Thursdays are open mic nights. Careful readers will be wondering by now: Who on earth is Cecil? Ibin Polk had planned on naming the restaurant the Dirty Apron,
The quesadillas
and then his beloved grandfather, Cecil Polk, passed away. Cecil Polk was a basketball player, captain of a minesweeper and professor of algebra. The restaurant’s menu explains that Cecil “was a great father, husband and grandfather. Here at Cecil’s we do everything in honor of him and our customers.” Cecil’s offers their southern hospitality for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 7 am to 11 pm every day and later “if it’s hopping,” at 912 N. Coast Highway in Newport. For more info, call them at (541) 264-8360 or find them on the web at www.cecilsdirtyapron.com or on Facebook.

remains to be
seen ... ... and some that are buried, too. Two shipwrecks that still haunt the Central Coast Story by Niki Price
D
o you prefer your shipwrecks well-documented and photographed, so that you may pore over every fatal error and imagine the scene in vivid detail? Or do you like a good mystery, a relic of unknown age, name and origin, lying silently and patiently beneath the sands of time? In north Lincoln County, we’ve got one of each. In Boiler Bay, just north of Depoe Bay, low tides reveal the remains of the J. Marhoffer, a steam schooner that came aground there in 1910. Siletz Bay, in south Lincoln City, is home to the remains of what might, or might not, be the 1860 brig Blanco. We’ll start with the obvious, and leave the vague for later.
J. Marhoffer
Some people who visit Boiler Bay State Park, or drive past the cove during a winter storm, might assume it was named for the roiling action of the ocean. Early in the history of Lincoln County, locals called it “Brigg’s Landing,” after one of the pioneering families here. For the past century, however, it’s been known to all as the home of the boiler, what’s left of the J. Marhoffer.
The 175-foot schooner was one of the small freighters that by the early 20th century were making regular trips off the Pacific Coast. On May 18, the Marhoffer was bound for Portland under the command of Captain Gustave Peterson. The crew members’ accounts say that she was doing about 9 knots, pushed north by a tailwind off Yaquina Head. The first engineer, they said, was taking a nap when the second engineer tried to light a new gas
torch, an invention he had never used before. He lost control of the flame, which quickly spread throughout the oily engine room and down to the steamer. The engine continued to turn, burning so hot that none of the crew could get close enough to try and flood it. Captain Peterson gave the order to abandon ship, altering his course for the rocky shore three miles east. Peterson’s wife, the ship’s dog and half the crew were dispatched to a lifeboat that headed for shore. The captain and the rest of the crew followed in the second lifeboat a few minutes later. The burning ship was easy to see from Depoe Bay, and by the time it came ashore there were people waiting anxiously onshore. Tony Wisniewski, a long-lived Depoe Bay resident who was a boy in 1910, described the landing like this: “I could see a small speck drift astern of here, and I figured it was the lifeboat with her people. Then she came charging in belching flames, sparks and smoke like a volcano,” Wisniewski told Stan Allyn, who later related the tale in his 1982 memoir, “Heave To! You’ll Drown Yourselves!” “She piled onto the rocks with a helluva crunching crash, heeled way over to starboard, then lay there burning like a blast furnace. All of a sudden her tanks exploded and shot timbers, chunks of steel and flame clear up into the trees behind me, a quarter of a mile away,” Wisniewski told Allyn. Tony’s mother, Mrs. Andrew Wisniewski, saw the wreck from her home in Lincoln Beach, about two miles north. Seeing the lifeboats headed for the mouth of Fogarty Creek, she took off her red sweater and waved it frantically. She was hoping, she told her son later, to signal a safe place to land. The crew on the lifeboat, however, thought the red flag meant danger. They turned around and rowed three miles south to Whale Cove, where they landed safely on the beach. The only fatality was the ship’s cook, who was severely burned. The rest of the crew and passengers, 19 in all, made it safely to shore.
Nearly a century later, low tides in the former Briggs Landing reveal a rusty boiler, about 12 feet in diameter, with two large “eyes” looking south toward the cliff-top Boiler Bay State Park. You can see it from the park at low tide. During extreme low tide events, you can walk down to it from a rough trail off Hwy. 101, just north of the park entrance. The small pullout, with room for about three cars, is marked by a rusty iron pipe, mounted upright in the bluff, that probably came from the Marhoffer, too.
Brig Creek? One of the defining features of Lincoln City is Schooner Creek, which empties into the north end of Siletz Bay near SW 51st Street. It was so-named because, until about 15 years ago, the ribs and wreckage of a 100-foot-long ship protruded through the sands at the creek’s mouth. No one is sure of the boat’s name or origin. The most solid historical evidence comes from the correspondence of Ben Simpson, who worked for the Indian agency in Siletz. In 1864, he wrote the following to H.H. Luce of Coos Bay: “A large brig named Blanco, from San Francisco, was wrecked a few days hence at the mouth of the Siletz River. I have just returned from an examination of the vessel. She is a total wreck; her masts are gone, her deck broken in, her hull is split from deck to keel, and I fear her crew are all lost.” Simpson goes on to detail the items he salvaged, and those he found in the possession of Indians. In 1949, writer Ben Hur Lampman found another citation on the fate of the Blanco, from the “Pioneer History of Coos and Curry Counties,” published in 1898. It states that the brig was made in North Bend, by a member of the well-known Simpson shipping family, in 1860. This source confirms that the Blanco drifted into Siletz Bay, bottom side up, in 1864, and was a complete loss. But the brig Blanco is not the only candidate. Other ships lost
in the area include the schooner Sunbeam, which disappeared in the 1880s, and the 113-ton schooner Uncle John, lost off Cape Foulweather in 1876. Or, perhaps it is the schooner Phoebe Fay, which stranded north of Cape Foulweather in 1883. It’s been difficult to do anything but wonder. Siletz Bay gets sandier every year, and no one has seen this skeleton, schooner or not, for a long time. But it hasn’t been forgotten; in fact, in 2004 Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau director Sandy Pfaff asked Beaverton physicist and imaging specialist Bradley Matson to attempt to locate the wreck. Matson and his colleague Gerald Sandness used historic photos of the wreck to narrow down the search location. They made a geophysical map of the area using global positioning system coordinates, so that they could precisely identify the area’s landmarks. Then, in the spring of 2005, they attached four magnetometers to a wheeled cart (dubbed The Beachcomber 1) and made a checkerboard survey of the area: north to south, and east to west. He released his findings to the LCVCB in 2008. “The idea was, simply, to look for anomalies in the magnetic field. These are very subtle changes, and it was our hope that we would find subtle changes in the shape of a ship,” Matson said. “We found something I’ll call it an anomaly in roughly the same orientation and size of what is pictured in historic photographs. It’s in the right place, the right size the right shape. But that’s not very conclusive.” The only way to confirm that these readings, blue and magenta dots on hist computer screen’s field of green, would be to start digging. But that will have to wait for an archeological survey, which isn’t on any scientist’s priority list. For now, this shipwreck must remain shrouded in mystery. “Preservation is the most important thing. This is a site of historic and archeological significance, and it’s illegal to disturb it,” Matson said.

Theatre West presents a thoroughly moving tale about in-laws
I
t’s only fitting that a play about family dynamics should include a husband and wife team in its cast and crew. In the latest production from Theatre West, “Things My Mother Taught Me,” Rich Emery will be giving direction to his wife Patti Siberz, and not for the first time. “I was pretty nervous when we did our first play together with him as director,” Siberz said. “I thought he might be extra mean to me so it didn’t look like I was being favored, but he was gentle.” “Things My Mother Taught

Me” is a comedic drama about the complications that arise when a young couple, Gabe and Olivia, move into their first apartment together. Unbeknownst to Olivia, Gabe has invited both sets of parents to help them with the move. The play is the latest work by Katherine DiSavino, author of last year’s popular comedy “Nana’s Naughty Knickers.” Tami Keller, who is playing the role of Olivia, is a fan of the playwright. “She draws very real characters, and the story isn’t too far fetched,” she said. “It’s not like
an episode of “I Love Lucy” where you’ve got people hanging on the side of a building in a Superman suit or something. A lot of the humor comes from the fact that the dialogue is so real. I think any mother and daughter will recognize this relationship. My mother is coming to see the play and I warned her that there’s a little bit of her and me in it. I told her, ‘Don’t take it the wrong way, but I’m basing some of my character on our relationship.’” Meanwhile, Keller’s stage mother, Sherri Danielson, said she is intrigued at the prospect of meeting her real-life counterpart. “That should be interesting, meeting her,” Danielson said. Rounding out the cast are Don Bambrough as Max, Shelby Barton as Gabe, Bryan Kirsch as Wyatt, Julie Fiedler as understudy in the role of Lydia, Tom Carlson as Carter, and Don Bambrough as Max. Other important, although less sentient, characters include a chair, a wall, flavored vodka and a can of whipped cream, all of which the characters use for some of the more lighthearted parts of the play. This production is Emery’s fifth time directing for Theatre West. “I prefer acting to directing,” he said. “But I think every actor should get to direct at least once, so you get the overall picture and don’t just focus on your own part. I guess you could say that the acting satisfies the need

to perform, and the directing satisfies the god complex. I’m mostly kidding about that last part, but there’s a little truth to it too; as a director, from the time you read the play to the time you get to see it all come together on the stage, it’s pretty magical.” Siberz, the mother of four and grandmother of seven, is finding her role as Gabe’s mother, Lydia, something she can really sink her teeth into. “As a mother who knows better than her children, I get to tell everyone what to do,” she said. “I think that’s a wonderful position to be in; you rarely get that in real life. It’s a good play, but also quite moving; the relationships between mother and daughter, and mother and son, are something most people can relate to. As much as we’re
irritating to our kids, ultimately, they’re glad we’re there.” “Things my Mother Taught Me” plays every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening through Saturday, Jan. 18, at Theatre West, 3536 SE Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. Doors open at 7:30 pm and the curtain goes up promptly at 8 pm. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors (62 and up) and for students (over 12) and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $9 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. On performance days, the box office is open at 2 pm. To make a reservation, call 541-994-5663 and leave a message. For more information about the theatre, go to www.theatrewest.com.

Always wanted to visit Cape Perpetua but put oďŹ&#x20AC; by the $5 fee? Well, Monday, Jan. 20, might just be the day youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for. The U.S. Forest Service will waive fees at most of its day-use recreation sites on that date in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The fee waiver day is the ďŹ rst of four such days and one full weekend oďŹ&#x20AC;ered by the
agency during 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our public lands are open to everyone,â&#x20AC;? said U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we hope these free days oďŹ&#x20AC;er an incentive to all people to visit any of the 193 million acres of land held in trust for their enjoyment and use.â&#x20AC;? The program is in cooperation with other federal land management agencies under the Federal Lands
Recreation Enhancement Act. Fees are waived generally for day-use areas, such as picnic grounds, developed trailheads and destination visitor centers. Concessionaire operated sites may be included in the waiver if the permit holder wishes to participate. Contact your local national forest or grassland to learn if your destination requires a fee and if that fee is waived.

on stage Seeking a comedy cast
Lincoln City’s Theatre West is looking for three men and four women to take to the stage in its upcoming production of “The Big Five-Oh,” a comedy by Brian Mitchell. No previous acting experience is necessary. The play tells the story of George Thomas, who is turning 50 on Saturday and has had a terrible week. His dog is sick, his son is a slacker and his daughter wants to marry a Republican. With a neurotic wife and a widowed neighbor providing more challenges than even George can overcome, this may be the worst week of his life. Through these trying days, George will discover the wonders of family, the responsibilities of parenthood and the results of his latest physical. Auditions will take place at 7 pm on Sunday and Monday, Jan. 5 and 6 at the theatre, 3536 Hwy. 101. The play will run from March 6 through 29, with performances at 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with a 7 pm call. Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a minimum of four nights a week. The director is Wes Ryan, who recently returned to the director’s chair after almost 20 years with the fall show “Ghost of a Chance.” In addition to actors, Ryan is recruiting several behind-the-scenes volunteers. Stop by auditions and introduce yourself or leave a message at 541994-5663.

It’s a Coastal Act Productions will be making a bright start to 2014 with its production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” opening in Newport on Friday, Jan. 3. The family favorite is a retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, his devoted father, his jealous brothers and his incredible series of adventures. The musical was only 15 minutes long when an unknown 20-year-old Andrew Lloyd Webber first created it for a British school choir in March 1968. He asked his friend Tim Rice to write the lyrics and took it first to the London stage, then to Broadway, earning six Tony nominations when it debuted there in 1982. Since then, the musical has continued to grow, both in length and popularity. “Joseph” was revived on Broadway in 1993, but is perhaps most widely recognized for the 1999 film version starring Donny Osmond in the title role. The Newport production sees the role of Joseph filled by Bruce VanDyke, a graduate of Newport High School, who

has appeared in other stage productions including “Titanic, the Musical” and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” “Joseph is a fantastic show; the audience will love it. The music is so much fun,” VanDyke said, “Joseph is a dreamer and this show has made me want to dream bigger and I hope it will encourage the audience to do the same.” VanDyke is joined by a cast of adult and student talent, including Tim Gross as Rueben,
Brian Hanna as Simeon, Jason Wilson as Levi, JJ Scofield as Judah, Phil Hingson as Dan, Robert Kilgore as Naphtali, Arthur Swett as Gad, Hunter Oxley as Asher, Adrien Fraser as Issachar, Parker Anderson as Zebulun and Drake Simon as Benjamin. The usurped brothers’ wives are played by Kendra Hanna, Hannah Grant, Robin Gintner, Jennifer Wrazen, Lara Crane, Quitze Rose Pilling, Briahna Wick, Lizzy Renaerts and
Courtney Gilseth. “Joseph” features a wide variety of musical styles — with the cast belting out everything from country to calypso to rock n’ roll. Classic songs from the show include the contemplative “Any Dream Will Do,” the comedic western hoedown “One More Angel in Heaven,” the Caribbean-infused “Benjamin Calypso,” the dazzling “Jacob and Sons/Joseph’s Coat, and the unforgettable “Go, Go, Go Joseph.” The show will run through Jan. 18, with evening performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 pm and Saturday matinées at 2 pm. All performances take place on stage at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Advance tickets are $14 for adults or $12 for students and seniors and are available online at www.coastarts.org or through the box office at 541-265ARTS. Tickets are also available on the door, priced at $16 for adults or $14 for students and seniors. For more information, go to www.capnewport.com.
