Start time is 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. Tickets are now available — $75 each, limit four per person — by calling 503- 436-1242. Featuring a dozen musi- cians, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with sym- phony orchestras through- out Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South Amer- ica and North America. The group was founded in 1994 in Portland and made its Eu- ropean debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and their orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in 1998 under the direction of Norman Leyden. Since then, the band has gone on to play with more than 50 orchestras around the world, including mul- tiple engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the Boston Pops, the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the San Francisco Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra and the BBC Con- cert Orchestra at Royal Al- bert Hall in London. The Coaster Theatre Playhouse has entertained thousands of visitors and locals of Cannon Beach and Oregon’s North Coast. Maurie Clark opened the Coaster Theatre in 1972. He supported it with his time, talent and financial resourc- es. Upon his death in 2001, the Coaster Theatre became a not-for-profit theater. Each year the Coaster Theatre produces five plays and two musicals as well as inspiring young actors with its Coaster Kidz spring, summer and winter camps. Submitted photo Pink Martini will perform Sept. 12 at the Coaster Theatre; tickets are on sale now. With the support of volun- teers, sponsors, donors and patrons, the Coaster Theatre will continue to offer quali- ty community theater in the heart of Cannon Beach.
