Hoffman Center guest author imagines war at home MANZANITA — Omar El Akkad will read from his novel, “American War,” at the Hoffman Center for the Arts 7 p.m. Saturday, March 17. Admission for the evening reading is $7. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For 10 years El Akkad led a double life, working as an international war reporter for Canada’s The Globe and Mail and writing fiction between midnight and 5 a.m. The grueling schedule allowed him to write three draft novels that never left his hard drive, but his fourth, “American War,” was not only published but is creating significant buzz. El Akkad’s future dystopian tale begins in 2075

during the second American Civil War, in which Red and Blue states clash over the need for sustainable energy. Set in a late-21st century U.S. ravaged by global warming, this ambitious debut encourages western readers to put themselves in the shoes of the world’s displaced peoples. El Akkad covered the war in Afghanistan, military trials at Guantánamo Bay, the Arab Spring protests in Egypt, the Black Lives Matter movement in Ferguson, Missouri, and the effects of climate change in places like Florida and Louisiana. He is a recipient of the National Newspaper Award for investigative reporting

for his coverage of the “Toronto 18” terrorism arrests. He has also received the Goff Penny Memorial Prize for Young Journalists, as well as three National Magazine Award honorable mentions. Following Omar’s reading and Q-and-A in the evening, the Hoffman Center will have its popular Open Mic, where up to nine local or visiting writers will read five minutes of original work. The suggested theme for the evening’s Open Mic is “Revenge.” El Akkad’s visit is part of the Manzanita Writers’ Series. The Hoffman Center is located at 594 Laneda Ave. More information is

Coaster sets stage for laughs ‘Noises Off’ spins comic mayhem in Cannon Beach from March 16 to April 21 By PATRICK WEBB FOR COAST WEEKEND

o offense to the actors, but the star of the show opening at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse on Friday, March 16, may be the set. Built by father-son team Jerry and Mick Alderman, the cleverly designed revolving scenery is the centerpiece of “Noises Off.” The comedy by British playwright Michael Frayn takes place backstage at a theater. The actors are trying to stage a sex farce called “Nothing On” — but there’s comic mayhem when everything goes wrong and their rivalries and foibles are exposed. Mick Alderman said he delighted at the chance to direct the show. “I’m always up for a challenge and every show has either creative or technical challenges.” The set demands two levels with eight doors, two staircases and one window. “It’s a challenge to do at the Coaster because it’s only 14 feet high and each level must be 7 foot maximum,” he said. “I came up with the concept, and we figured it out.” His father, Jerry Alderman, is known for his firefighting leadership but has significant construction and design experience. He first sketched the structure — measured to the inch — on multiple pages of penciled drawings. “He has the artistic talent, I have to try to make it happen!” Jerry Alderman said, laughing when asked about working with his son. Figuring out such things is not new. In 1998, a four-door sedan had to be turned sideways when hauled into Astoria’s Performing Arts Center for a Mick Alderman show called “Road to Nowhere.” The set for “Noises Off” is three sturdy wooden pieces, all on wheels. With help from the actors and stage crew, the center pivots, so during the second of the three acts the audience views a theatrical scene as if from “backstage.” The Aldermans began building two months ago during breaks between rehearsals of another Coaster play, “Fit to Kill.” Continued on Page 12

Holy Grove rocks Charlie’s Chophouse on St. Paddy’s Day ASTORIA — Charlie’s Chophouse has been undergoing an extensive remodel, and to celebrate its reopening the establishment is throwing a free St. Paddy’s Day party 8 p.m. Saturday, March 17, with Portland bands Holy Grove, Void Realm and Maximum Mad. Some people like their heavy metal as “metallic” as possible: jagged, spiky and caustic. Holy Grove wants it heavy — gravitationally, crushingly heavy — but

big and warm, never coldly metallic. Holy Grove songs are heavy with feeling, heavy with conquering power and heavy of heart. After wowing Northwest audiences for several years, the band unveiled its Billy Anderson-produced self-titled debut in 2016 — seven songs of blazing riffs and cloud-piercing wails, via Italian imprint Heavy Psych Sounds. Fresh from a success-

ful European tour with brothers-in-arms Gozu, Holy Grove is back at work with producer “engine-ear” Anderson on their second record, their first for American label Ripple Music. The band is currently making plans for a second European tour in the fall of 2018 and a string of springtime shows across the West Coast. Holy Grove is Andrea Vidal, Trent Jacobs, Gregg Emley and Eben Travis.

The “Jade EP” is now available online and at Preisinger’s performances.

ASTORIA — KALA presents Portland-based artist Barra Brown and The Barra Brown Trio 8 p.m. Friday, March 16. Tickets are $13 (advance tickets are available at libertytheaterastoria.org). Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Brown is fluent in numerous musical languages. He has two releases as a composer and leader with the Barra Brown Quintet (BBQ). In December 2014 he released an EP with his project The Wishermen, a collective of young jazz heavyweights dedicated to exploring genre boundaries and creating a new amalgam of many styles and influences. Billed as folk jazz, Brown’s trio is a paired-down version of his quintet material, featuring Brown on drums, Mike Gamble on guitar and Alex Meltzer on stand-up bass. Seattle Weekly wrote: “To say that the Barra Brown

Quintet simply plays Jazz music would be an immense understatement. Each composition moves effortlessly with taste and talent coalescing into compositions that travel beyond genre. Energetically bouncing between pop, R&B and even old-world folk, each song presents a different narrative to appreciate.” A truly eclectic musician, Brown studied classical flute performance at Lewis & Clark College, where he graduated with honors while studying drums on the side through the prestigious Alan Jones Academy of Music. In fall 2017, the Portland Jazz Composer’s Ensemble commissioned Brown to write a piece for their 12-person large ensemble. KALA is located at 1017 Marine Drive in Astoria. Ages 16 and older are welcome. There will be a full bar.

COLLEGE GETS PI-EYED FOR EINSTEIN’S BIRTHDAY ASTORIA — Clatsop Community College invites the community to a free family event at the Lexington Avenue Campus (Patriot Hall Gym) 1:59 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 17. The college is celebrating physicist Albert Einstein’s birthday and the mystery of the mathematical constant pi (π). Admission is free. This event is appetizing for all ages, and families are encouraged to attend (children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult). The college’s regionally acclaimed band, the π’d π’pers, will open the festivities at 1:59 p.m. with music and singing. There will be math games, pi and other math walks, face painting, pi prizes and more. Pi’s famous relative — pie— will be sold by the Pi-Phi Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa as a fundraiser (by the slice or

whole pie). Pi is everywhere around us; it is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to the length of its diameter. While the actual Pi Day is March 14, which mimics the first 3 digits of pi (3.14), the college’s celebration will be March 17. Holding the event on 3.17 made a number discrepancy in pi so our math department formulated this mathematical explanation: The first 8 digits of Pi are 3.1415926. Thus, Pi Day is on Saturday, March 17 (3.14 + 0.03), begins at 1:59 p.m. (159) and goes to (2) 6 p.m. (6). For additional information about this event, or if you have questions about the mysteries of pi, contact TJ Lackner, Clatsop Community College mathematics instructor, at 503-338-2452 or tlackner@clatsopcc.edu.

CANNON BEACH — HALO Education presents its first Rockdance film screenings in Cannon Beach at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse and Cannon Beach History Center & Museum on Sunday and Monday, March 18 and 19. The first showing will be 1 p.m. Sunday, March 18, at the Coaster Theatre. There will be two films shown, “Guliya” and “Byrd 1933.” Film producer and director Pamela Theodotou from Ohio State University’s Byrd Polar Climate Research Center will be there to present “Guliya,” a film about the research center’s U.S.-China collaboration with Third Pole Environment at OSU to extract the oldest ice samples outside the poles. “Byrd 1933” is a historical film featuring original film clips from Paramount Picture’s documentation of Admiral Byrd’s Antarctica 1933 expedition. The documentary was conserved and co-produced by the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center Archival Program and made possible through a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. The second screening of “Byrd 1933” will take place 4 p.m. Monday, March 19, at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum. If there is time, “Guliya” will be screened again as well. The museum is a more intimate venue and is limited in seating. Folks will have an opportunity to informally meet Theodotou. Beverages will be served. The suggested donation for both screenings is $5. All proceeds will go to the Haystack Rock Awareness Program, the team of city

BREW Ninth annual Pouring at the Coast — held March 17 at the Seaside Civic & Convention Center — is a beer lover’s craft beer festival

By HEATHER DOUGLAS FOR COAST WEEKEND

he landscape of Seaside’s mainstay beer-tasting event, Pouring at the Coast, has evolved since its humble beginnings, which featured only a handful of craft breweries eight years ago when it first began. These days, guests can sample upwards of 80 different craft beers. The ninth annual Pouring will take place at the Seaside Civic & Convention Center 3 to 8 p.m. Saturday March 17. Attendees 21 and over can expect to taste craft beers from more than 30 breweries along the coast and throughout the Pacific Northwest, while enjoying live music from Hawaiian-themed headliners Sons of Aloha. Concession-style pub fare will be on hand. The coastal beer scene has exploded over the past decade, and Jimmy Griffin, the event organizer and owner of Seaside Brewing Co., said it hasn’t played out. Attendees get to keep their Pouring at the Coast commemorative glass. COURTESY SEASIDE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

“There are enough breweries all over the coast now that they’ve become a force of nature,” he said. “Craft beer is certainly popular on the coast, but I don’t think the industry is saturated here on the coast, yet.” Pouring at the Coast, which typically sells out at around 600 to 800 festivalgoers, brings many small and large breweries together in one place. “It’s a beer-specific event,” Griffin said. “Even though it’s held at the Convention Center, it still has the feel of being homegrown and grassroots.” While attendees may want to wear green and some breweries may play on the St. Paddy’s theme, “we don’t lean on the St. Patrick’s Day thing just because it tends to be a drinking holiday,” Griffin said. “This isn’t about getting hammered for guests, it’s about introducing them to different kinds of beers that they might not have access to. People tend to take this festival seriously.” Josh Allison, co-owner and brewer of Reach Break Brewing in Astoria, will be pouring their beers at the event for the second year in a row. “There is no singular vibe for Pouring at the Coast, which makes it really fun,” he said. “There’s so many different aspects to this event — the beach, music, food and camaraderie, coming to the coast and sharing a laugh and a beer. There’s something for everybody.”

Pouring at the Coast grew out of a need to represent the breweries as the coastal craft beer industry developed. “The coast has always been a destination for people, but now it’s become a craft beer destination as well,” Griffin said. Another special treat for many attendees of Pouring at the Coast: the opportunity to taste beers not yet released to the public. “Many breweries break out their new spring seasonals just for this event — lighter, fresher beers like lagers, kolsch and pilsners,” Griffin said. Wolftree Brewery from Seal Rock will also be pouring at the event for the second year. Co-owner and brewer Joe Hitselberger said that in addition to their flagship “Spruce Tip Ale,” they will bring a new beer called “Beaver Creek Peche,” which is “spontaneously fermented.” The special process includes fermenting the beer outdoors, which allows it to be inoculated with wild yeast overnight. The next day, the beer is transferred into barrels where it will

ferment again for more than a year. “It’s a beer that can’t be replicated and is very specific to the valley and the conditions of the particular night when it’s fermented,” Hitselberger said. Taste reigns king with the tradition of the coveted People’s Choice award, a “healthy competition” based on ballot votes from attendees on their favorite beer. “The contest is based solely on taste,” Griffin said. “It’s all about the craft and the flavor.”

A great equalizer among breweries that range from lesser-known to extremely popular, the People’s Choice removes the usual gatekeepers that may exist in the outside world. “The People’s Choice Award has nothing to do with how rich or successful a particular brewery is,” Griffin said. “The beers stand on their own.” Reach Break Brewing — a brewery that is fairly new to the coastal scene — had their very first taste of Pouring at the Coast in 2015, when they collaborated

Griffin wants to make something clear: Pouring at the Coast is a beer festival for beer lovers, not a dance party. “We don’t get in the way of the beer. There are no smoke machines, fireworks or people running around,” he said. “Our guests are largely people who are genuinely engaged in craft beer and look forward to this all year.” A number of the breweries have told Griffin that Pouring at the Coast is their favorite festival because of the high engagement among attendees. Brian Owen, director of the Seaside Chamber of Commerce, put it this way: “At other beer festivals, a volunteer may pour the beer and guests read about it on a flier — that person may know very little about the beer they’re pouring,” he said. “In our event, the guests get to interact with someone who actually knows all about the beer they’re pouring. You’re getting to talk to someone and ask in depth about the process. You get to have that intimate experience of someone who knows about the beer in the glass that you’re tasting.” To sign up, attendees can either show up at the door or pre-purchase their tickets online and pick them up at will call. Guests may get their desired number of tasting tickets and commemorative pilsner glass depending on the package selected. CW

“There’s no way to rehearse without the set in place,” said Mick Alderman. “It’s so physical — this is an action play. The challenge for the actors is that it all moves at a lightning pace. They don’t always have lines — they have to cue off stuff, listen and remember what they are supposed to be doing.” He likened it to a crazy inventor’s work. “With nine people, it’s an amazing Rube Goldberg process. If one person is not where they need to be at that moment, the whole thing falls apart.”

A play about a dying play

Frayn reportedly dreamed up “Noises Off” after watching from backstage in 1970 while Lynn Redgrave performed in another farce he had written. The title comes from a script stage direction. It won awards during its first five-year run in London and has seen three productions on Broadway, one winning a Tony for Katie Finneran. A 1992 movie version starred Michael Caine and Carrol Burnett. Roles include a director involved in a love triangle, a stuttering leading man, an actress who misplaces her contact lenses, a deaf actor with a drinking problem and the long-suffering stage manager who tries to fix everything.

We are so familiar with it that it doesn’t matter what you say — you just keep going.” The Coaster production features costumes by Judith

Light, with each character having a color theme. Alderman said friends who attended other productions have said it is the funniest play they have seen. “If you like to laugh, you’ll like this,” he said. “At the first rehearsal, the actors had barely met each other and within an hour they were in stitches. “You can’t catch your breath — it’s one thing on top of another. If you like the old Benny Hill comedies, this is definitely the show for you.” CW

Cheese lovers Camembert to miss this class CANNON BEACH — “Introduction to Cheese and Cheese-Making Workshop,” a one-day event, will be held at the Cannon Beach Chamber Community Hall (207 N. Spruce St.) 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 24. The workshop includes a cheese tasting of the seven major cheese families and a hands-on session where participants work in pairs to convert milk to Queso Fresco.

Métis migrations within the Pacific Northwest

How did French-speaking people influence our region? FORT CLATSOP — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop, is pleased to announce the next In Their Footsteps free speaker series event. “From the Great Lakes to the Lower Columbia: French Canadians and Metissage on Our Evolving Frontier” by Robert Foxcurran will be held 1 p.m. Sunday, March 18. Pacific Northwest history was heavily influenced by French-speaking people. The Lewis and Clark Expedition included George Drouillard, Toussaint Charbonneau, Francois Labiche, Jean Baptiste Lapage and Pierre Cruzatte in the permanent party that wintered at Fort Clatsop. More French Canadian engagés were employed on this voyage’s earlier Missouri River segment. Later, many French speakers came to

the Pacific Northwest with the fur trade and Catholic missions. Today an abundance of French geographic names can be seen on Oregon and Washington maps. Foxcurran’s presentation will talk about some of this saga that is often overlooked as “nations are created through the burial of inconvenient history.” Foxcurran co-authored a 2016 book, “Songs Upon the Rivers: The Buried History of the French-Speaking Canadiens and Métis from the Great Lakes and the Mississippi across to the Pacific.” Foxcurran is a retired Boeing historian whose research interests include the lesser-known demographics associated with the North American fur trade. His book will be avail-

able for purchase at this event, which will include a book-signing afterwards. In Their Footsteps is a monthly Sunday forum sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association and the park. These programs are held in the Netul River Room of Fort Clatsop’s visitor center.

Bird up: Biologist discusses mysterious marbled murrelet SEASIDE — S.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Nelson will discuss Oregon’s mysterious marbled murrelet, a dove-sized seabird that lives primarily at sea and returns to nest in mature conifer forests. Land conservation as well as ocean-based protections, like Oregon’s five marine reserve sites, house the potential to benefit these birds greatly. Nelson moved to Oregon in the mid-1970s to be closer to the ocean, forest and mountains. She works in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University, focusing on the ecology and habitat associations of seabirds, using mod-

Presbyterian church hosts yoga teacher

COURTESY PIONEER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Yoga teacher Jude Matulich Hall

WARRENTON — Beginning Thursday, March 15, local yoga teacher Jude Matulich Hall will teach a weekly yoga class at Pioneer Presbyterian Church, next to Camp Rilea in Warrenton. Classes will be held 1:30 p.m. Thursdays and are on a donation basis. Classes will consist of sitting poses, standing and balancing poses, a floor series and a relaxation with meditation. There will be a focus on strengthening, dynamic

movements and stretching. All postures will have different modifications to choose from based on each individual’s level of participation. There will be chairs and yoga mats available for those who need them. Each class will be based on who is there; all ages and physical abilities are welcome. Jude is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher, a licensed personal trainer and a movement therapist for chronic pain management.

ASTORIA — Yoga Gypsy Sally Anderson, will hold two yoga workshops in March in the “Little Red Building” (399 31st St.) in East Astoria on the Columbia River. The first is a “Beginner’s Workshop” 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 17. This workshop is designed for those new to yoga or a refresher course to understand the finer details, language and alignment of Hatha Yoga practice in a comfortable, friendly setting. Introduce yourself to the benefits of yoga, or invite a friend who’s been wanting to try yoga but not sure how to enter a class. Yoga etiquette and studio basics will be covered, as well as a number of foundational poses and the alignment queuing and language for those poses. Breath, mindfulness and other related topics will be explored. Her second workshop will be held 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 24. This is a specialty workshop focusing on “Stretching the Nerves: Four Neural Glides for Yogis.” Nerve problems may be signaled by weakness, fatigue, numbness, tingling, burning, restrictions in range of motion, changes in reflex speed, swelling or even feelings of heaviness or coldness. The nerves most commonly involved with these symptoms are the median nerve, ulnar nerve, radial nerve (all COURTESY YOGA located in the arms) and GYPSY the sciatic nerve, which Sally Anderson runs from the lumbar spine down the legs and into the feet. The nerves were meant to glide freely under muscle and fascia. This workshop looks as exercises you can do to create the length and space to create new fascia. Sitting at a desk, computer work, poor posture, chronic misalignment and injuries are all things that can contribute to sticky or adhesive fascia. Come explore the world of neural glides, slow, precise movement with controlled awareness and muscular engagement, and discover in your own body where this can benefit you. The goal is to keep your nerve passages healthy as you age. The cost for either workshop is $40. Pre-registration is suggested and can be done by contacting Anderson at 503-4400735 or yogagypsy2018@gmail.com. For more details, check out facebook.com/ yogagypsy.sally/

BOOKMONGER

Novel blazes with issues women face The recent Academy Awards underscored the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, and if you’re a listener to National Public Radio, this past week you’ve heard the accusations concerning Sherman Alexie that hit even closer to home. These accounts attest that sexual power plays can happen anywhere. A new novel by Shobha Rao investigates how this dysfunction plays out across two significantly different cultures. “Girls Burn Brighter” begins in India and ends up in the Pacific Northwest. Sixteen-year-old Poornima lives in a village in southern India. Her widowed father, struggling to make ends meet as a weaver, hires an additional worker to help increase his output and income. Close in age to Poornima, the new weaver is called Savitha, which translates as “Sun.” Poornima’s name means “Full Moon.” And as it turns out, the girls are remarkably complementary in nature, and become fast friends. Poornima’s family may be poor, but Savitha’s family is completely destitute. In different ways, both girls dedicate themselves to the care of their younger siblings. But now that Poornima has come of age, her father arranges to have her married off. When the girls learn that the prospective groom lives too far away for the girls to be able to visit, Savitha helps Poornima figure out a way to sabotage the engagement. But eventually and inevitably, another match is arranged. On the eve of Poornima’s wedding, Savitha is sexually assaulted by Poornima’s father. An uproar ensues, with the suggestion that the rapist should be forced to marry the girl he has disgraced. Rather than have that happen, Savitha flees. And then without further ado, Poornima is carried off to be married and join her husband’s family. This story is told in sections, al-

“Girls Burn Brighter” By Shobha Rao Flatiron Books 304 pp $25.99 ternating between each young woman’s experiences and point of view. Poverty, geography and circumstance serve to keep the two friends apart. Each descends into emotional chaos, with accompanying physical abuse hideously camouflaged by domestic duties or the world of work. Poornima is unhappy in her loveless marriage, but it isn’t until her husband and mother-in-law conspire to perpetrate a brutal act upon her that she finally summons the courage to leave. She decides to go in search of her friend, unaware that this quest will take her across oceans and continents, thrusting her into foreign lands as well as dealings with sinister people. Rao writes about poverty, domestic abuse and disfigurement. She describes a cynical and violent human trafficking pipeline. There are occasional glimmers of kindness and beauty, and the ending (which seemed improbable to this reader) suggests there can be hope. But the bulk of the story is overwhelmingly grim. That Rao’s characters are named for the sun and moon suggests that these women may be able to shed light on, expose and maybe even disinfect the darkest depths of human depravity. It’s quite a stroke of timing that “Girls Burn Brighter” is being published now, as the voices of #MeToo and #TimesUp continue to rise. The Bookmonger is Barbara Lloyd McMichael, who writes this weekly column focusing on the books, authors and publishers of the Pacific Northwest. Contact her at bkmonger@nwlink.com.

PIER 11 PIZZA

Amid guilty pleasure of cheesy overload, Pier 11 Pizza satisfies “real” New York bagels, bakers sometimes ship water in from the Big Apple. I hear they do this at MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM FACEBOOK.COM/MOUTHOFTHECOLUMBIA Astoria’s new Table 360 Bakery & Bistro.) rowing up it seemed like The quintessential characteristics of New York pie — thin, every summer vacation to cheesy, basic — are the inspiration visit family in New York ended with a pizza party.

Pier 11 Pizza’s window

pizza price wars, the daily Happy Hour deal, two bucks for a slice of cheese from 4 to 6 p.m., is nothing to sneeze at. Like slices, whole pies offer three pre-designed options: Cheese ($20), Pepperoni ($25) and Primo ($30, which includes pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions). After that you’re building your own from a bedrock list of toppings (remember: no quail eggs). Veggies are $1.50, meats $5. At those rates, building a busy pie could get expensive fast. (While slices are

ready in a few minutes, pies take a while, a good 30 minutes or more.) When considering price — and certainly I’ve kvetched plenty in these pages about pizzas costing $30-plus — whole pies at Pier 11, at 20-inches, are well bigger than average. Three or four hungry eaters will likely have leftovers. (Cross your fingers that you can wedge the box into your fridge and still shut the door.) For thin crust, Pier 11’s is quite filling. Cheese is piled on thick as the dough is thin. Under this

weight, slices are floppy. (At one point, on the go, I had little choice and resorted to the fold.) The edges, though, are crispy. Made inhouse, the unsweetened sauce has a nice bit of herby oregano, and the olive oil is apparent. Nothing at Pier 11 is going to surprise you, though. It’s meant to replicate the wheel, not reinvent it. To that end, like a lot of pizza in New York, there can be seas of shimmering grease. Of course, no one comes to pizza for their health. However guilty the pleasure amid such cheesy overload, Pier 11’s is nothing if not satisfying. Which is such a remarkable upgrade from what masqueraded as “pizza” when the Inferno Lounge opened in 2015. Alongside plenty of other more robust options, Inferno offered an “Ultra Thin Crust Pizza” that used flour tortillas as crust. These pretend pies were a bad joke, an affront to pizza itself. Pier 11, though, is properly reverent. Whether you decide to fold it, well, that’s up to you. CW

Peninsula troupe hosts workshops, auditions CHINOOK, WASH. — The Peninsula Association of Performing Artists will host an acting workshop for adults 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 17, at the Fort Columbia Theater at Fort Columbia State Park in Chinook. The instructor will be Brooke Flood of Long Beach, Washington, with assistance from actor-musician Ronald Thompson. “This is for people who have no idea what they are doing on stage as well as people who have done it a dozen times,” Flood said. PAPA will host an auditioning workshop 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 24, at the Fort Columbia. “I have never met anyone who says they like auditions,” said Flood, who is gearing up to pick a cast next month for the summer show, “Beauty and the Beast.” “PAPA does not expect you to have a monologue memorized or anything like that,” she said. “It’s all about how to walk on stage with confidence and not apologize for everything.”
