Auditions for “A Christmas Trilogy: Three Holiday One-Acts” will be held Tuesday and Thursday, October 25 and 27, at 7 p.m. at the River City Playhouse, 127 Lake Street, Ilwaco. We need seven women, five men, and several children, 7-16 years old.

Performance dates are December 2-11, so it’s a very short timeline. One-Acts have fewer lines to learn and take less time to rehearse, so even if you’re “busy,” like everyone else at this time of year, this may be something that would give you lots of personal satisfaction and JOY!

Come on down and see where the Stars are made! And if you don’t want to get ON the stage, how about helping out BEHIND the scenes? Lots of opportunities to learn new things!

The Pink Panther Strikes Again

Think PINK!  Join Inspector Clouseau and the cast for a performance you won’t soon forget.

Wednesday, October 12th at NOON (till the work’s done, hopefully no later than 3 p.m.) we need help readying the playhouse for The Pink Panther Strikes Again’s Opening Night! Please come lend a helping hand wiping things down, dusting, moving chairs, etc. Many hands make light work!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Sherry Ahlers, Director

“The Pink Panther Strikes Again” will be performed October 14, 15, 16 and 21, 22, 23 at the River City Playhouse in Ilwaco. It is a lively show, full of surprises, and with an amazing cast filling no less than 34 roles!

Two special activities will be offered to our audiences. First, the playhouse is collecting nonperishable food for our local food banks. Secondly, the special costumes worn by the Pink Panthers will be raffled off after the last performance on Sunday, October 23. (That’s a week before Halloween!)

 Food donations and raffle ticket opportunities will be at every performance, so plan now to participate! Tickets are $10, and already on sale at all the usual outlets, or at the door, if there are any seats left! It’s going to be a fantastic show! Get your tickets early, and please remember to add a few extra nonperishable items to your grocery carts this week.

Thank you for supporting your local community theater and food banks. We all appreciate it!

 See you soon at the playhouse!

Friday, October 14^th is Opening Night, and it’s coming up fast! The playhouse is undergoing renovations, and paint, muslin, and lumber is everywhere! The cast of thousands are practicing their little hearts out among the ladders and workbenches, while Director Sherry Ahlers heroically leads them on!

Ok, so maybe there aren’t really thousands in the cast, but the players are many, and Sherry certainly is a hero! 

Tickets are on sale now!
