Last Resort Players will present “Sweet Charity” at the Flor ence Events Center mainstage on Nov. 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20. Directed by Laura Merz and cho reographed by Angela Palmer, the show stars Joanie Schmidt, local favorite, as the lead, Charity Hope Valentine, “a girl who wanted to be loved.”
“There is a story behind the sto ry,” said Director Laura Merz. “Joanie had a brain tumor removed a year ago this spring. The large tu mor was quite large and nearly fa tal. She now has no hearing in her left ear, after the difficult surgery and still carries bits of the tumor in her brain.”
For Merz, this is similar to the story of Sandy Duncan, who played Peter Pan on Broadway one year af ter she had a brain tumor removed from behind her left eye. “The role was her biggest life-time achieve ment,” she said.
In the play, Charity is a taxi
dancer, a dance partner-for-hire at a seedy dance hall, “The Fandan go Ballroom,” in New York City during the early 1960s. Though the job may be decidedly undesir able, Charity’s hopeful romanticism and unfailing optimism lift her out of her circumstances and help her reach for a life beyond.
“Joanie IS Charity Hope Valen-
tine,” Merz said. “This is her show. She began singing, dancing and learning the script in May. I retained a baton-twirling expert to teach her to twirl. She practices everything for the show, every day.”
According to Schmidt, when she started practicing the baton, her physical therapist loved the fact that she can twirl, exercising both sides of the brain, improving handeye coordination and getting basic physical exercise.
“In my decades of performance experience, I have never directed an actor with more dedication and commitment than Joanie,” Merz continued. “She learned all her songs, has worked diligently on dancing and has memorized the en
tire script, earlier than anyone else in the show! She is bound and de termined to succeed with this pro duction. And she will.”
During the play, in Charity’s past, she had been strung along and hung out to dry by a series of bad relationships and lousier men. When she meets Oscar, a neurot ic, shy actuary — played by Peter Tomaszewski — seemingly from another world, will she finally find true love?
One of the most famous shows by legendary director/choreographer Bob Fosse and with a laugh-a-min ute script by the incomparable Neil Simon, every audience is destined to fall in love with Charity’s limit less spirit as she lives life “hopefully ever after.”
With music composed by Cy Cole man and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, “Sweet Charity” includes song hits such as “Hey, Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now” and “Rhythm of Life.” With a large and talented cast, full orchestra and grand staging, costumes and sur prises, LRP once again will bring great entertainment to the big stage.

“Top Gun Memos” relies on 90 interviews, 1,200 stu dio and production documents and hundreds of new articles, to tell the story of the movie classic “Top Gun” (1986). The book is filled with anecdotes about the making of the film, including production plights, off-screen danger and challeng es overcome by the filmmakers.
“Top Gun Memos” also tackles why the movie has last ed so long in the public con sciousness. The book looks
at what happened to revered director Tony Scott, who took his own life in 2012, just two days after returning on a scout for “Top Gun: Maverick” with Tom Cruise and Jerry Bruckheimer. Finally, the book discusses the fans, fan clubs, tourist destinations and other aspects of the movie.
Jordan is an award-winning journalist who spent 25 years working for East Coast news organizations. She is also the author of “Below the Line: Anatomy of a Successful Mov ie” (2019). She moved to the Oregon Coast in 2021.

Empty Bowls 2022 Committee is proud to announce the fea tured artist for this year’s event — Alan Huck.
Huck is an artist and art teacher residing in Florence for the past two years. He grad uated from the Los Angeles Art Center College of Design with his field of study being in illustration. He worked on many well-known Walt Disney feature animated films: “Rob in Hood,” “The Rescuers,” “Winnie The Pooh and Tigger Too.” He was a storyboard artist on Disney’s “Fox and the Hound” and “Pete’s Drag on” and worked on character and story development for “The Black Cauldron.”
Huck’s talents are varied. He not only worked in animation, he also designed 21 stained glass windows for the Shadow Hills Presbyterian Church in Los An
geles. He also won an award for landscape design from Los Ange les Water and Power.
The collage pictures a pot ter who had created the perfect handmade bowl that he cherish es but he realizes that it could serve a purpose: to feed the hungry. He fills the bowl with food and gives it to a hungry person.
The committee hopes the community can join them at this year’s Empty Bowls at the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince St. The Empty Bowls Fundraiser will take place on Dec. 2, 3, 4 and again on the fol lowing weekend Dec. 9 and 10.

He is currently teaching at Lane Community College here in Flor ence, and his artwork is on dis play in venues around Florence.
The featured artwork is titled “The Potter’s Gift,” with the concept being that “Food Share feeds the body, the artist feeds the soul,” Huck said.
“Free admission, family friendly and lots of fun!” said Desiree Clifton. “We hope you will stop by to view all the won derful artwork!”

It’s that time of year again, when the com munity of Florence and cult exploding-whale lovers across the globe memorialize the fa mous whale occurrence. It happened one fateful afternoon on the shores of Florence, 52 years ago, on Nov. 12, 1970.
A public 52nd Anniversary Exploding Whale Memorial celebration is planned for Saturday, Nov. 12, from noon to 8 p.m. at Homegrown Public House and Brewery, 24 Laurel Street in Historic Old Town Florence. The celebration is open-house, family friend ly, a little quirky — and a lot of fun.

All are encouraged to bring small offerings and homages to the whale to be placed at the art installation on the east side of Home grown.

Wearing fun costumes is encouraged.
Don’t miss a visit to the Exploding Whale exhibit at the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum across the street from Homegrown at 278 Maple Street, open from noon to 4 p.m. The exhib it has actual whale bones from the honored whale and the museum is full of interesting Florence historical displays.

The community is invit ed to come and celebrate the holiday season at The Gallery Above The Sil ver Lining Boutique with Janey DiMuro and Rhon da Butler, both prolific and industrious local art ists. The opening will be on Saturday, Nov. 12, at 2 p.m.
During the event, there will be pre-packages goodies, champagne and festivities.
“It has been three entire years since they have had a show and everyone is ex cited to see their spectac ular new creations,” said boutique owner Kimberly Fleenor.
Butler and DiMuro will be featured during the months of November and December with their cor nucopia of creative works to be hung in people’s homes, given as special gifts or enjoyed by the re cipient.
DiMuro’s primary focus are her collectible one-ofa-kind pillows that are original pieces of artwork in extraordinary fabrics from around the world, while Butler’s attention is given strictly to her fine lo cally made wood creations including sushi boards, flights, trivets and jewelry that is one-of-a-kind.
“Nature is the best de signer and the forest that surrounds us is my favor ite place to be,” said But ler. “Whenever I spend time in the forest, I am amazed at the beauty and variety of visual patterns. The forest is so generous in so many ways — it is a
great privilege.”
For both artists, it is all about the beauty, in spired by the incredible surroundings here on the Oregon Coast.
“There is a kind of al chemy in both artist’s pre sentations. Butler trans forms and brings out the natural patterns in the various woods she gathers from each genus of trees and plant life. The wood takes on a new life in her abstract sculptures, hair barrettes, sushi boards or naments and jewelry. Her jewelry is truly spectacular and you must see it to be lieve it!” Fleenor said.
Butler’s wood creations are to be enamored, worn, hung and functionally used and delighted to be received as gifts from a loved one. All of the pro ceeds from Butler’s works go to support Food Share and feed the hungry, while The Silver Lining takes nothing.
Meanwhile, DiMuro’s pillows are full of surprises.
“I love texture and col or — the velvety feelings of different fabrics paired together in unexpected ways. A hand-woven Gua temalan pillow coupled with a delicate gorgeous piece of Chinese silk,” she said.
According to Fleenor, “Simply gorgeous. Re markable. Tender tactile magic! Each of DiMuro’s fabrics tell a story, just like her collages. … Her pillows are to be hugged and cherished and gifted away.”
The show will be pre
sented during the Second Saturday Gallery Show at The Gallery Above Silver Lining Boutique, 2217 Highway 101 in Florence.
“In this digital age, a hand-crafted gift is espe cially meaningful,” Flee nor said. “It is all about the love and appreciation of all the beauty and those around us. I am personal ly inviting all who love the holidays, love beautiful lo cally made art works and celebrate the beauty that is always around us lov ing lucky locals, to come and see these wonderful works from November to December.”
The community is invited to FACE and the Florence Events Center (FEC) Galleries “Every thing Odd-umn” through Nov. 29. The artist recep tion is Friday, Nov. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m., with the presentation of awards at 6 p.m. Fall lends itself to great artistic opportunities, including beauti ful autumn col ors, the harvest and wildlife preparing for winter. It is also a time for interesting, odd, scarecrows, ghosts, hobgoblins and everything spooky. Hence the name of the show, “Odd + Autumn.”
Artwork on display is for sale at vari ous price points for all budgets and de sired styles of art. The exhibit will open for viewing during operating hours at the FEC. Due to various private events held at the FEC, some locations may be closed to the public. Apologies for any inconve nience.

“Check out the clever, weird, creative and slightly creepy things presented in Gallery One during business hours,” said FACE President Rachel Pearson.
“Thanks so much to volunteers Jo Beau dreau, John Leasure, Bonnie MacDuf fee and other gallery volunteers and the events center staff for getting this on the walls.”

Ahappy tradition in Flor ence is to gather your friends and family and head over to the Florence Events Center for the Holly Jolly Follies. This year’s Follies will be presented by CROW at the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince St., on Dec. 2 to 4 and is sure to kick off people’s holiday season right.
“It has been three whole years since the Follies graced the stage at the Florence Events Center,” said CROW Artistic Director Melanie Heard. ”Our production in 2019 happened just before the COVID-19 pandemic ar rived as an unwelcome cast member. So many people have commented how much they have missed it and are so excited that we are back this year. We are so happy to be back!!”
Local playwright Rose El len Jacobson, with the help of her daughter and show di rector, Heard, have created a sentimental and sweet series of vignettes, involving several of the Follies’ most beloved characters, plus some new ad
ditions.
The show will feature assis tant direction by Genevieve Shahan, musi cal direction by Maree Beers and live musical ac companiment by Rhianna Haines and Marty Ad ams, plus many other musicians, volunteers and performers. Ad ditionally, sce nic elements will be designed and painted by Brian D. Sandahl.
The short synopsis is that Santa’s gift of a magical stocking comes as a BIG surprise to the elves this year. Each unex pected item that is revealed represents one of life’s per fectly intangible gifts, such as Laughter, Love, Friendship, Creativity, Time and much more.
Holly Jolly Follies’ cast of elves returns in “The Perfect Gift,” coming to the FEC Dec. 2 to 4.
The story centers on the concept that the “perfect gift” doesn’t need ribbons or bows, because it is not something that can be bought in a store.
As always, there will be
delightful va riety-style performanc es, intermixed throughout. This year’s offerings include the in credible Flight Dance Team — back with an original piece en titled “The Gift of Nature” — several beautiful vocalists, teen and adult tap pers, CROW’s dance class performances, comedy skits, live music and, of course, the World Famous Tutu Dads, who will pounce into your heart. Putting the Follies together is no easy feat, since it involves such a diverse crowd of talents –not to mention a huge cast of volunteers. But CROW is no stranger to the task, having taken the reins for this com
munity event back in 2016.
“The entire CROW team is really looking forward to bringing our community a heartwarming show this year,” said Heard.
Ticket sales from the Fol lies support CROW’s free and low-cost arts program ming, including scholarships for youth, educational mate rials and production costs for the non-profit’s Spring main stage production — “The SpongeBob Musical,” which will hold open auditions in January and be performed live on stage in April 2023.
For tickets to ”The Perfect Gift:” The 2022 Holly Jol ly Follies, visit the Florence Events Center at www.event center.org or call 541-9971994.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for kids 12 and younger. Showtimes are Fri day at 7 p.m., Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. For additional details, in cluding a Ticket Discount Promo Code which expires Nov. 5, visit www.crowkids. com.
Once again, music and holiday magic comes to the Florence Events Center in the form of Charles Suniga.
Suniga is a Florence native and a Siuslaw alum who has been performing since he was seven years old. His Moments Of Peace series has received critical acclaim in the music industry and is very popular with listeners.
Suniga has been nominat ed twice for the prestigious Grammy award in the easy listening category, but the singer, songwriter and com poser tends to shun awards and prefers to concentrate on spreading his music to the masses.
“It’s all about the music,” he said.
Suniga is often joined by
“The Angels” (pictured, left) along with special guest vo calists performing traditional holiday tunes.
The show will be Saturday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m. Tickets will go on sale soon.
Additional details will be released at the Florence Events Center box office, 715 Quince St., 541-997-1994 and eventcenter.org.
