Eaten Up with Style

 

South Park creator Trey Parker’s Cannibal! The Musical! is the kind of true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alfred Packer. The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip to the Colorado Territory, he tells his side of the harrowing tale to news reporter Polly Pry as he awaits his execution. And his story goes like this: While searching for gold and love in the Colorado Territory, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unthinkable horrors, including toe-tapping songs! 

FIlled with Parker’s trademark dark comic edge and buffoonery, Cannibal! is for mature audiences only. Auditions are February 25th at 6:30 PM at The Liberty Theatre at 2100 Sherman Avenue, North Bend, Oregon. Please prepare part of a song and be prepared to move.

Seeking ninjas, cyclops, maidens, dancers, trappers, erstwhile heroes, shopkeepers, judges, penguins, and someone to play Cartman (really). Most roles sing and/or dance, talent in these particular areas not necessarily required. Broad sense of humor definitely required.

Casting:

Alfred Packer: Hero, silly, dim, valiant, miner

Polly Pry: Heroine, inquisitive, brilliant reporter

James Humphrey: Cartman (really), brash, an idiot, hysterical, miner

George Noon: Nerd, naive, sweet, really, really wants to have a girlfriend, miner

Winter is coming

 

 

 

For Immediate Release

“From the devil we sprang, and to the devil we shall go.” - Richard the Lionheart

SO IT GOES COFFEEHOUSE PRESENTS THE LION IN WINTER

The mightiest/tiniest theatrical stage in the land presents James Goldmans medieval marvel.

“A classic tale of deep family dysfunction and Machiavelli-level intrigue . . . witty and wrenching, full of dagger-sharp quips and veiled motives.”

–The Boston Globe

Insecure siblings fighting for their parents’ attention; bickering spouses who can’t stand to be together or apart; adultery, experimentation; even the struggle to balance work and family: These are themes as much at home in our time as they were in the twelfth century. In James Goldman’s classic play THE LION IN WINTER, domestic turmoil rises to an art form. 

Keenly self-aware and motivated as much by spite as by any sense of duty, Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine maneuver against each other to position their favorite son in line for succession. THE LION IN WINTER is a quintessential drama of family strife and competing ambitions, a work that gives visceral, modern-day relevance to the intrigues of medievsl England. 

Combining keen historical and psychological insight with delicious, mordant wit, the stage play has become a touchstone of the theatre, and Goldman’s screenplay for the 1968 film adaptation won him an Academy Award. Told in “marvelously articulate language, with humor that bristles and burns” (Los Angeles Times), THE LION IN WINTER is the rare play that bursts into life from the page, and is now given a bold staging in the intimate coffeehouse setting at So It Goes Coffeehouse.

THE LION IN WINTER features Brenda Sund, John Beane, Jessica Dee, Brad Keith, Ansel Tauber, and Jason Iverson. Directed by John Beane and Daneal Doerr, stage maned by Ryan Borella.

Performances are varied dates from January 19-29. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at www.soitgoescoffee.com or in person downtown at 190 Central Avenue, Coos Bay, Oregon. 

“The Lion in Winter” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

 

THE LION IN WINTER features Brenda Sund, John Beane, Jessica Dee, Taylor Marchant, Brad Keith, Ansel Tauber, and Jason Iverson. Directed by John Beane and Daneal Doerr, stage managed by Ryan Borella.

Iconic

The month of November we have enjoyed the work of Mr. Kim Kimerling, as have many of our guests at functions.  We now invite you to the reception on Sunday December 4th, 2-4 p.m. at Black Market Gourmet to engage and visit with the artist and view this outstanding collection of work.

A bit about the artist:

Kim works in painting, pottery, printmaking, collage and recently in up-cycle books. His work is called Iconic Symbolism, based on a multitude of cultures.  Teaching art at the University of Nigeria, in Belize and the Navajo Reservation gave him ample opportunity to observe the dress, culture and customs of these very different populations.

He paints in acrylic and watercolor, combined into mixed-media collage.  Most recently he has worked in printmaking, finding collagraph to fit well with mixed-media collage.  Delight in creating up-cycle books has brought a natural transition to bookmaking.

If we assume Man has common heritage and common destiny, that we are truly members of one human race, then this may be the promise that makes Kim Kimerling at home with any culture, country and age.  A person once said of Kim that he went out to change the world and the world changed him and his art.

Kim's work has been exhibited in over 100 one-person shows throughout the United States, Canada, Nigeria, Mexico and Belize.  He is an award winner in all the media he works in. 

Please join us for complimentary noshies, beverages and no-host bar at Black Market Gourmet on Sunday December 4^th from 2-4 p.m.  If you are unable to make the reception, we ask that you contact Black Market Gourmet directly to view the show please.
