sets shows, sale

The Community Center for Performing
Arts (CCPA) offers not only music this
week, but also theatre, dance, art, and a
garage sale.
Old time American music — ragtime,
country blues, 20’s and '30’s pop and jazz
all wrapped up in two northern California
performers—will occur tomorrow night via
the talents of San Francisco’s Jane Voss
and Hoyle Osborne.
Pianist Osborne has a collection of tunes
and styles from rag-time and Harlem Stride
to the old jazz tunes of Jack Teagarden and
Fats Waller. He has soloed and played in
groups, toured with country singer Rosalie
Sorrels, recorded for the Bay Record label
and written for such publications as Sing
Out! magazine.
Jane Voss has done extensive solo per
forming, and specializes in old time country
music ranging from the Carter family to
Jimmy Rodgers. She also plays old pop
tunes and country blues, as well as writes
many of her own songs.
Their concert will be at 8 p.m. Tickets are
$2.50 at the door.
On Saturday, a three-woman Philadel
phia theatre troupe will perform “Rites of
Women.” The feminist theatre group has
scheduled a 7 p.m. show for the general
public, and a 9 p.m. women-only show. Ad
vance tickets are available at the Book and
Tea and Mother Kali’s Bookstore.
Sunday, from 10 to 5 p.m., the CCPA is
sponsoring its second garage sale. The first
sale held earlier this summer, netted over
$170, leaving both goodies and impetus for
another. The sale features original crafts
and refreshments as well as the garage
sale eclecticism.
Between now and then, items are
needed. Either bring donated items to the
Center or call 687-2746 to have them
picked up.
In other activity, dancers Alex Dunnette
of Eugene's Wallflower Order and Betty
Jean Clark have scheduled an intensive
dance workshop beginning Monday and
continuing until September 2. Registrations
are available for 10 more participants, with
a $90 fee for the workshop. A $5 deposit is
required for registration, and a sliding scale
is possible. Call 687-2746 for further infor
mation.
The Community Center’s first showing in
their Basement Gallery includes new paint
ings by several young area artists. The Gal
lery, open from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday, is featuring works
by Bill Schmich, Tova Apollo, Craig
Spencer and Gary Buchendorf. The exhibi
tion will continue through August 19.
The Community Center for Performing
Arts is located in the W.O.W. Hall, 8th and
Lincoln.
