Dutch folk duo plays peninsula
The Lasses bring old songs to life Saturday
LONG BEACH, Wash. — The
Peninsula Arts Center wel-
comes the Dutch folk duo the
Lasses in concert at 7 pm. Sat-
urday, March 14.
Two Dutch girls met at an
Irish session in Amsterdam and
soon discovered their shared
love of harmony singing and
telling stories through music.
They started to perform the
songs they loved best, drawing
from Sophie ter Schure’s Scot-
tish folk tradition and Margot
Limburg’s Irish musical heri-
tage, music she knew like the
back of her hand after years of
busking with her harp-playing
husband.

es was not lost on the public.
The Lasses have tackled many
cafés, concert halls, festivals
and churches in the last two
years with their folk reper-
toire. In 2014, Luka Bloom in-
vited the duo to venture to the
west coast of Ireland. Though
each lass plays guitar as well
as bodhrán, it’s their voices
that are instantly recognizable:
Limburg is the husky alto and
Ter Schure the emotive sopra-
no.
This year’s spring tour sees
the release of the Lasses’ sec-
ond album, “Daughters,” con-
taining a selection of songs
about perky girls who might
have done better if they had
listened to their parents. The
duo performs songs that are
more traditional to the United
States, as well as stories from

Willapa Players ‘Play On!’ this March
RAYMOND, Wash. — For their
winter show, the Willapa Play-
ers will present “Play On!” a
comedy by Rick Abbott.
Directed by Dave Lund
and Emily Popovich, the pro-
duction will hit the stage at the
Hannan Playhouse, located
at 534 8th St. A champagne
opening will be held at 7:30
p.m. Saturday March 14. Ad-
ditional performances will be
at 7:30 p.m. March 20, 21, 27
and 28; and at 2 p.m. March
22.
The play follows a group
of community theater volun-
teers who attempt to produce a
¿FWLRQDO VKRZ ³0XUGHU 0RVW
Foul.” The troupe is made of
an indecisive playwright, an
irritated director and various
actors who struggle to gain
any momentum before their
opening night. The disaster
continues offstage with an un-
derstaffed technical crew who
are constantly confused by the
various plot changes. All in
all, a disastrous but hilarious
attempt to prove “the show
must go on.”
“We chose this play for two
reasons,” Lund said. “Our cli-
entele like to laugh, and this
is a show that will fully give
them the opportunity to do
so. Secondly, this is a show
WKDW ¿WV WKH SK\VLFDO PDNHXS
of our stage and gives us an
opportunity to showcase the
creativity of our technical di-
rector and artistic crew.”
The show is performed as
a parody, not-so-subtly point-
ing out the common strug-
gles of putting on a play with
naïve and stubborn volunteers.

performance, or the actors’

Lund said. “The real-life ac-
