‘Unicorns really are real’
Skillethead to play
Sisters garden benefit
By T. Lee Brown
Correspondent
Ever heard of the smash
hit show <Unicorns Really are
Real: The Story of How They
Save the Earth from Global
Warming=? Not yet, perhaps.
It just debuted in Sisters last
Friday.
It was all part of Starshine
Theater9s debut theater camp.
Director Jennie Sharp, known
locally for the winter kids9
performances she directs in
Camp Sherman, saw a need
for hands-on theater expe-
rience in Sisters Country.
Options in Bend often pres-
ent traditional shows in
classes that go on for weeks
or months.
Starshine uses a differ-
ent model: kids explore and
invent their own characters,
assemble their own costumes,
and help shape the show. It all
takes place in five short days.
Students registered
through Sisters Park &
Recreation District. They
rehearsed four days in a row
at The Belfry, during their
three-hour-long camp. They
invented their characters and
some plot points on the first
day.
Then Sharp set about writ-
ing a script for them.
<I had a great time!= she
said.
She said it was hard to fit
so many characters into one
play, but she had fun meeting
the challenge. Sharp narrated
the plot over a microphone,
and helped kids remember
their lines off-mic.
ATTENTION
The Sisters Community
Garden is hosting their 4th
annual <Music in the Garden=
on Monday, August 12.
This popular event has
become an enjoyable way to
savor the garden9s rich envi-
ronment and a way for our
gardeners and public to give
back to the community of
Sisters.
This year the musi-
cal headliner will be
Skillethead, a local bluegrass

Young actors took to the Songbird Stage at Fir Street for the debut of
Starshine Theater.
<We have a big range of
ages,= said Sharp.
The group accepted kids
aged 4 to 8. Next week,
Starshine will work with
older kids in the 8-to-13 age
bracket. They will create
their own original show with
Sharp9s guidance.
The public is invited to
come see their performance
free of charge on Friday,
August 2 at 3 p.m. The play,
as yet unnamed, will take
place on the Songbird Stage
at Fir Street Park.
Starshine will have some
chairs available, but suggests
that audiences bring their own
chairs and sun protection. The
show lasts about half an hour;
the park9s splash pad foun-
tains will be turned off dur-
ing this time. Fir Street Park
is located at the corner of Fir
and Main, one block north of
Cascade Avenue/Highway 20.
Sharp thanked The Belfry,
SPRD, and the City of Sisters
<for providing this amazing
stage.= She also thanked mid-
dle-school student Addison
Russell for her volunteer
work as the camp9s stage
manager, and local resident
Rich Hummel for providing
the sound system.
