Not-So-Fast Food

Call to Artists April 2018

“Bountiful Harvest”

Art is food for the soul. Let’s make art about FOOD: planning, planting, growing, harvesting food, food preparation, food on a table, people cooking or eating food. Let’s celebrate it. Please bring non-perishable food donations along with your art on drop-off day and/or to the reception.

The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artworks relating to the theme of all things food. This show runs April through June 2018.

As usual you can be creative in your interpretation of the theme, keeping in mind that art on the hospital walls is meant to entertain and de-stress the patients, families, staff, and general visitors. It is not a venue for nudity, violence, morbidity, or as a political soapbox. Thank you for your continued positive approach to art in these shows.

Artists may enter 1-3 pieces using painting, collage, mixed media, drawing, photography or assemblage in all artistic styles: representational, abstract, impressionistic, or futuristic. All works must be able to be hung on the wall.

Show Calendar:	Show runs April, May and June 2018
Reception:	Sunday, April 8, 2018 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Delivery of Art:	Wednesday, April 4, 2018 2 p.m. Bring ready-to-hang art plus paperwork to the cafeteria area at Southern Coos Hospital on Wednesday, at 2:00 p.m., or make alternative arrangements with show organizers.

Shakespeare On The Coast

Coos Bay Shakespeare In The Park proudly announces auditions for its 2018 production of TWELFTH NIGHT by William Shakespeare. 

TWELFTH NIGHT, or What You Will, performs July 14th-22nd in Mingus Park, the location of last years epic HENRY V. The production is presented with the valuable support of the Coquille Tribal Community Fund and the public at large. 

Director John Beane has put out a call for all actors, tumblers, singers, and performers of all ages, genders and creeds for TWELFTH NIGHT.

The shipwrecked twins, Viola and Sebastian, find themselves on the lost island of Illyria where a lovesick Duke rules over a fantasy land of swooning aristocrats, piggish drunks, swashbuckling vagabonds, bumbling fools and a very special Widow. TWELFTH NIGHT is a fantasy in the comic-romantic vein, with great pangs of music, destiny, adventure and desire.

Seeking: (will consider any gender or race):

VIOLA: The heroine who is shipwrecked and  falls in love with a duke while in disguise as a boy.

SEBASTIAN: Her plucky twin brother who has an adventure of his own.

ORSINO: Duke of the isle, in love with love and Olivia and possibly Viola and..

OLIVIA: Mourning widow in the grand tradition, beautiful and wealthy and having to deal with all measure of suitors though she has vowed to stay in mourning. 

SIR TOBY: Falstaffian uncle to Olivia, king drinker, would be wise man, parter of fools and their money.

AGUECHEEK: Young lord that is hopeful for Olivias hand through Toby,and is willing to fight, though not perhaps, and that'd be fine thank you. 

MARIA: The serving maid that knows what is what and helps cultivate a plan to ruin Malvolio, affected toward Toby.

MALVOLIO: The tragicomic steadfast butler that ends up with delusions of grandeur when tricked by his confederates into thinking Olvia loves him.

FESTE: A fool, a genie, the spirit of the island, sings, operatic, high energy.

ANTONIO: A brigand on the run, swashbuckler, possibly a beast, impossibly devoted to Antonio

AND: A fair phalanx of captains, bumblers, beasts, gardeners, secret masked police and other assorted marvels.

....

Playboy Manbaby is a 6 piece punk band from Phoenix, AZ. The band consists of Robbie Pfeffer (vocals), Chris Hudson (bass), TJ Friga (guitar), David Cosme (trumpet), Chad Dennis (drums), and Austin Rickert (sax).

“Even if you’re a Sunday-morning blues lawyer who only appreciates “serious music,” there’s no denying that Playboy Manbaby has been playing long enough to form a bona fide musical chemistry—one that would fit well onstage supporting (or blowing away) the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The tune boasts a rhythm section that can effortlessly power through stop-start arrangements. Over this, the versatile guitar work of TJ Friga switches from heavily reverberated spastic freak-outs to melodic arpeggios in the breakdown—a bridge that also includes a short-but-sweet trumpet solo from David Cosme. Go ahead and check out Playboy Manbaby before Hugh Hefner’s lawyers make them change their name.”  -Eric Shea
