BAKER CITY — Eastern Or-
egon Regional Theatre opens two
youth productions this weekend:
the fable “The Fisherman and His
Wife” and science-fiction comedy,
“The Twilight Cone.”
Both plays will be presented each
night of performances, which hap-
pen at 7 p.m. Thursday (tonight),
Friday and Saturday. Sunday’s
matinee is at 3 p.m. All are at the
EORT theater, 2101 Main St.,
Baker City.
Tickets are $10 adults, $5 stu-
dents, or $25 for a family pass of
two adults and two children. These
are sold at Betty’s Books, online at
easternoregonregionaltheatre.com,
and at the door.
In “The Fisherman and His
Wife,” a poor couple live in a hut
near the sea. Each day the fisher-
man goes off to catch dinner to
supplement the vegetables his wife
grows in their small garden.
They live a quiet existence until
one day when the fisherman hooks
a talking flounder. In exchange
for not eating him, the fish — who
claims to be a prince in disguise —
grants the fisherman three wishes.
His wife, Isabel, who is unhappy
with their station in life, seizes the
chance and wishes for something
more grand each time.
This play depends on audience
participation to provide action,
such as crashing waves and chirp-
ing crickets.
The cast of “Fisherman” includes
Max Jacoby, Kate Loennig, Na-
tioshya Hickson, Jarren Cikanek,
Jessica Warbis, Jordan Wolfe, Sadie
Adams, Landon Dougherty, and
Liam Dougherty.
The second play takes the audi-
ence into a different dimension
‘The Fisherman and
His Wife’ and ‘The
Twilight Cone’
What: Youth plays presented
by Eastern Oregon Regional
Theatre
When: Feb. 21-23
Where: EORT theater, 2101
Main St., Baker City
Tickets: $10 for adults, $5 for
students, $25 family (two adults,
two children)
where ice cream isn’t just a frozen
treat.
“The Twilight Cone” opens at
an ice cream stand where Diane is
training her nephew Marcus. When
she discovers the chocolate syrup is
low, she rushes off to the store and
forbids him to sell any flavor except
vanilla. No customer, she says, is
allowed to choose a flavor.
“I make the rules,” she says. “I
decide which flavor goes to which
customer.”
But then a group of girls arrive
and Marcus forgets that he is sup-
posed to offer only vanilla.
Soon he’s mixing milkshakes of
unique flavors for the girls, who
quickly determine that something
isn’t right.
For instance, Butterscotch Time
Ripple reverses time — a neat trick
that Kaitlyn soon uses when she
stumbles over her words in conver-
sation with the cute boy at the ice
cream counter.

“The Fisherman and His Wife” — a fable — features Jarren Cikanek, left, and Jessica Warbis.
Nice Kirsten sips a shake called
Banana No Filter and suddenly
tells everyone exactly what she’s
thinking — much to the dismay of
her friends.
All seems lost until Diane
returns to the stand and tries to
rectify the situation.
The cast of “The Twilight Cone”
is composed of Karsten Cikanek,
Bre Miller, Justin Wolfe, Paige
Wolfe, Natioshya Hickson, Jessica
Warbis, Kate Loennig, Ellie Lamb
and Liam Dougherty.
Both plays are directed by Jamie
Adams and Jen Cikanek. Costumes
were designed by Judy Head and
Actor’s Studio. Set design was han-
dled by Cindy Ratterman, Megan
Pelcha, Bob Hinkle, Leanne Hinkle,
and the cast. Sebastian Cole is in
charge of sound and lights.
